Chapter 255: 255: I’ll Let You Scold for Three Days

Madam Jiang led several children. Aunt Liu led Jiang Yuan, Aunt Bai led Jiang Yan, and several other concubines from the main room split into four groups, riding carriages and leaving in four different directions.

Jiang Yuan asked her, “What about you and the two children?”

Jiang Ning said, “I only told you, why do you think the Imperial Army outside hasn’t come in until now?”

“Why?” Jiang Yuan was stunned.

She really hadn’t thought of that.

She thought it was because the Imperial Army was giving face to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Jiang Ning said, “I captured their leader, Wenren Zong.”

“What?” Jiang Yuan was shocked, “You…you can really do anything.”

“That’s why I can’t leave. I have to stay here, otherwise the Imperial Army will rush in soon.”

!!..

“It’s too dangerous for you. You take the children and leave, I’ll stay!” Jiang Yuan said.

Aunt Liu anxiously slapped her, “You’re so stupid, you’re not as smart as Seventh Miss, what can you do by staying behind?”

“Auntie!”

“Alright, time is pressing, stop arguing and hurry up and leave.” Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Yuan, took out a packet of medicine and gave it to her, “This is a top-quality powder that can instantly faint people. When using it, cover your mouth and nose. Don’t use it unless absolutely necessary.”

Jiang Yuan stared blankly, “Why do you have something like this?”

“For self-defense.”

“…” Jiang Yuan looked at her leg, somewhat touched.

With her beauty and a bad leg, she must have had a hard time living outside all those years. No wonder she had to use these methods to protect herself.

Jiang Yuan pushed the medicine back, “You keep it for yourself.”

“Take it.” Jiang Ning didn’t take it, instead ordering the coachman, “Let’s go.”

“Seventh Sister, be careful!” Jiang Yuan called out.

Jiang Ning was slightly startled.

If she remembered correctly, this was the first time Jiang Yuan willingly called her Seventh Sister.

Jiang Ning sighed.

It happened to be this time, when she had designs on them.

If Jiang Yuan knew, she would probably be so angry that she would stomp her feet and curse.

“If this matter is resolved safely, I’ll let you scold me for three days.”

Jiang Ning muttered to herself as she looked at the carriage.

Everyone in the family was almost gone.

Jiang Ning returned to her courtyard, only to find that Lin Zizi had taken the two children and hid them in the secret tunnel along with two wet nurses.

Huang Ying forced herself to calm down, “Miss, what should we do now? Just wait here?”

“There’s no other way.”

By this time, the Imperial Army had probably noticed the four carriages leaving the Jiang Mansion and sent people to chase them.

Now all she could hope for was that Old Man Li wasn’t so weak.

And also hope that Jiang Ruobai and the others could find a way to save themselves.

The housekeeper rushed in, sweating profusely, “Seventh Miss, they have sent more people and are asking to open the door or else they will break it and set fire.”

Huang Ying was furious, “They really want to rebel, how dare they set a fire!”

The people who came this time seemed even more ruthless. Without waiting for Jiang Ning’s reaction, they set the fire directly.

There was a sudden surge of fire and flames outside.

Once the fire started, people would definitely be forced out.

Several maids cried out in fear.

The housekeeper was sweating profusely, waiting for Jiang Ning’s command.

Jiang Ning pushed her wheelchair into the courtyard and looked outside.

There was suddenly a commotion outside, the clashing of swords could be heard.

“Could it be that they couldn’t wait any longer and killed their way in?”

Everyone shivered with fear, even the housekeeper turned pale.

Jiang Ning sat still in her wheelchair, not moving. After a moment of silence, she said, “It doesn’t seem like it..”
