After Jiang Fang returned, Chen Ding found the general's fragrant powder. Jiang Fang was not in the mood to look at it. Chen Ding said, "I found the whereabouts of that little girl."
Jiang Fang said: "The corpse lying in the autopsy room now is the general's little sister, right?"
Chen Ding was not surprised. He had known for a long time that Jiang Fang had already come to a conclusion in his mind, but he still advised him: "You'd better not delve into this matter further. Go back and be your princess."
Jiang Fang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you are thinking too simply. Are you also doubting her? So what do you think is the benefit to her if she does this?"
Chen Ding shook his head. He really didn't expect this matter to be of any benefit to Queen Mother Jiang. Now that the court is in turmoil, Jiang Fang's talent can definitely help her.
But she chose to frame and slander Jiang Fang at this moment. Isn't this a stupid thing for her own reputation?
Jiang Fang said: "Now my identity has been exchanged with Xiao Huaigu's. Originally, when she listened behind the curtain and ignored Xiao Huaigu's power, she caused dissatisfaction.
Now that there is no longer a puppet emperor, the court is not in chaos, and the Xiao family of the royal family must be ready to stir up trouble.
But she did such a stupid thing at this time, which means that she just wants to test my ability. If I can only ask for her protection, I will ignore this matter.
Then even if I enter the palace, I will be just a useless princess, but if I can get out of the trap she set, then she will definitely not be content with the status quo.
I know what she wants, so no wonder she tests me like this. If I am incompetent, then she will not take the risk."
Jiang Fang's words were not very clear, but Chen Ding was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He stood up and looked outside the house, but Jiang Fang said, "Don't worry. There is no one in this yard."
After Chen Ding sat down, he said: "This matter is very involved. If the Queen Mother really has that intention, it is the inevitable trend. What are you going to do?"
Jiang Fang shook his head: "She burst into tears when we were in the yard. I thought that as a mother, she finally realized how stupid she was.
But looking at it now, she doesn't feel any regret at all. She wants to change my identity back, maybe she just sees that I seem to be more capable than Xiao Huaigu.
And after so many years of careful planning, she should have seen hope before taking such a bold action. But if I didn't respond, I might enter the palace and I wouldn't be able to survive for a few days.
In her eyes, waste seems to have little use value. If she keeps a waste, she might as well find someone useful and replace me."
Looking at Jiang Fang's expression, Chen Ding was glad for the first time that he lived in a family like this. At least he would not be abandoned by his parents. Even his family members had to face those calculations.
Chen Ding comforted him: "Perhaps you are overthinking it. A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. There may be other human characters behind it that may be manipulating it."
Jiang Fang sighed and said: "I hope so too, but in fact it is not the case. If I read it correctly today, I saw a tattoo on the so-called He Xiaoxiao's mother.
There were blood stains on her skirt, and the tattoo was on her leg. She was afraid that she didn't notice that her skirt was torn, exposing the tattoo.
Although I don't understand the affairs in the palace, I know that those in the royal family will cultivate their own confidants and have their own marks.
At first, she wanted to kill my current family. Although I don’t know why she wanted to do this, she was stopped by Su Xiaosheng.
That group of people also had tattoos like that on their bodies. I thought about it all day today, and I couldn't believe that the so-called He Xiaoxiao's mother was actually hers.
It wasn't until I came back that I realized that a man had gone to great lengths to fabricate a village to frame me, but now he had taken no action.
Tell me, who would be willing to do this? Only she would be willing. All this was her fault, and even the woman who died was not superfluous.
She just wants to test me. Before entering the palace, she wants to know how much I weigh, so that she can know how she should take her future path."
Chen Ding didn't expect Jiang Fang to talk about such a big thing in front of him, so he asked: "You told me these, are you really not afraid that I will betray you?"
Jiang Fang smiled and said: "What's the big deal? If you betray me, you will die too. Don't forget, I am her daughter now, and I have the ability to satisfy her."
Chen Ding was speechless. He originally thought Jiang Fang would say something affectionate, but Jiang Fang was still Jiang Fang. He was so clever that he never left any traces.
Chen Ding asked: "Now that you know everything, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Fang shook his head: "Actually, I don't have to do anything. I went to the fake Niutou Village today and then to the real Niutou Village. She should already know everything.
And she must have known about me testing the so-called He Xiaoxiao's mother, so I don't have to do anything now, she will naturally know that I have guessed it.
I can't question her, but I don't want innocent people to die because of this, so I think I need to talk to Yu Peide about the murderer."
After Jiang Fang finished speaking, he patted Chen Ding on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'm going to find Yu Peide now. Please don't follow me. He will definitely be dishonest if someone is around."
After saying that, Jiang Fang left the room. When Chen Ding looked at her back, he actually felt a little distressed. Her original ease and ease seemed to be gone.
After Jiang Fang found Yu Peide, he said, "Master Yu, I went to Niutou Village today."
Yu Peide didn't react at all. It seemed that he didn't know about the fake village, but still, how could so many people know about such a big thing?
"Don't worry, I'm not here today to embarrass you. I've already found out the truth about this matter. In fact, He Xiaoxiao committed suicide."
Looking at Yu Peide's shocked look, Jiang Fang continued: "Lianxiang, I have told you before that when she entered He Xiaoxiao's room, He Xiaoxiao had not yet gotten the ointment in his hand, so she could not have poisoned her.
He Xiaoxiao was taken as a concubine when she was pregnant, but the servants rumored that Xu Kaizhi did not seem to have the ability to have children. I also checked He Xiaoxiao's pulse and found that she was not pregnant.
On the contrary, it seemed that there was some disease, so He Xiaoxiao had a false pregnancy, but this could not be hidden for a long time. Xu Kaizhi happened to discover it and saw the disease on her body.
He probably wanted to immerse her in a pig cage. He Xiaoxiao was afraid, so he committed suicide to apologize, not wanting to cause his parents to lose face in the village.
I asked about the black lotus poison, and it turned out that it was He Xiaoxiao who bought it herself, and it looked like she had applied it herself, with no trace of coercion.
Ask Xu Kaizhi about this, and he will naturally tell you that as for how the black lotus got to Lianxiang's house, she probably took it with her when she stole the bracelet."
Jiang Fang's story is a bit far-fetched, but this is the best outcome. It is impossible for her to find Empress Dowager Jiang and seek justice from anyone.
Since this situation was just for Empress Dowager Jiang to test herself, someone would naturally reconcile her words. Jiang Fang just didn't want innocent people to lose their lives.
