Everyone saw that Jiang Tianjiao was so excited and it seemed that what she said was true. Everyone started discussing it for a while, and the prefect slammed the gavel again.
"Silence, since Miss Jiang said there is a witness, bring the witness up!"
Soon, an old man with gray hair came up and knelt down: "I am here to see you, sir. Please make the decision for my young lady."
"The old lady is the housekeeper of the Jiang family's first wife. I think the current second wife still recognizes the old lady."
Indeed, when the old woman appeared, Mrs. Jiang's expression changed, and she seemed frightened. After the old woman finished speaking, she pointed at her directly.
"Aren't you dead? Why are you still here?"
The old woman glanced at Madam Jiang and said, "Madam Jiang, are you surprised to see me now? If I hadn't been killed in the explosion and escaped from the Jiang family, I might have really died."
"Do you think that once I die, no one will know what you did? Back then..."
The old woman had just opened her mouth when she heard Mrs. Jiang yelling, "Shut up!"
Second Miss Jiang snorted coldly: "Why are you scared now? You dare not take responsibility for what you did? Yes, seeing your ugly side, I can't stand it, let alone your innocent daughter!"
"Look, she is looking at you with such strange eyes now."
Mrs. Jiang looked back at Jiang Tianxiang who was standing outside. Jiang Tianxiang was indeed very confused and puzzled at this time. Looking at this situation, Li Jiaqi grabbed Jiang Tianxiang.
Pulling Jiang Tianxiang away from here, the second young lady of the Jiang family clearly felt that Mrs. Jiang was relieved, and couldn't help but curl her lips: "I didn't expect that someone would like that idiot."
Her mouth was full of jealousy, but Mrs. Jiang smiled at the situation: "You are envious of my Tianxiang. Speaking of which, it's great that Tianxiang is with the person she likes."
"Then I have nothing else to ask for. If you want me to plead guilty, that's fine. But I still have a question that I want to ask someone."
Mrs. Jiang turned around and looked at Mr. Jiang outside: "Master, for so many years, we have been husband and wife. I just want to ask you, who is in your heart, me or my sister?"
Mr. Jiang raised his eyebrows and said, "She's your sister."
Without any pause, Mrs. Jiang burst into laughter: "It's my sister. Hahaha, it's my sister. How did you survive all these years?"
"I don't believe you don't know that it was me who messed with you."
Mr. Jiang nodded: "I know, but before your sister died, I promised her that I would never touch you in my life. So for so many years, I tolerated you doing whatever you want in my Jiang family."
"Of course, I have some selfish motives for this, because you look like your sister, and your sister is dead. I can no longer see her, and looking at you and missing her has become my only motivation to live for so many years."
Mrs. Jiang took a step back and watched you miss her. This sentence was so touching. Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything more, but just raised her head silently.
He looked at the prefect and said, "Sir, I plead guilty. I killed someone."
The prefect sighed and said, "Come here, take him to prison and sentence him to death in the autumn!"
The matter of the Jiang family ended just like that. Qian Jiujiu looked at Xiaoman who was frowning all the time and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with you? It seems like there is something you can't figure out?"
Xiaoman sighed, "Hey! Let's put it this way, isn't it said that people in ancient times were quite reserved? Why are these people I see so crazy?"
Qian Jiujiu raised an eyebrow: "Being reserved doesn't mean having no feelings. Speaking of which, this Jiang family's legitimate wife, Jiang Tianjiao's mother, is really a softie."
"Look, she is the elder sister, and the current Mrs. Jiang is the younger sister. The younger sister seduced her man, so she married her younger sister as a concubine. In the end, she was killed by this younger sister."
"She didn't let her man take revenge before she died. What do you think of this? It's all thanks to Jiang Tianjiao. If she didn't let him, her life would have been lived and died in vain."
Xiaoman shook her head and sighed: "This is not the worst. In fact, I am more worried about the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She looks so kind and she was protected by her mother in the past."
"Now I don't know how that arrogant Jiang Tianjiao is going to bully her!"
Qian Jiujiu laughed: "You are overthinking it. Jiang Tianxiang is destined to have a good life. Jiang Tianjiao may not bully her, and Jiang Tianjie will also protect her."
"Besides, don't we still have Li Jiaqi? If you're really worried, why don't we go and spy on her?"
Xiaoman rolled her eyes: "You are a peeping Tom, I won't go! Didn't you say that? It has nothing to do with us, since Magistrate Li is fair in judging the case."
"We won't get involved in other things. Now that everything is over, let's prepare to go to Huadu. Don't some people always want to go there?"
Qian Jiujiu raised an eyebrow: "What you said makes sense, Li Jiaqi and the others should handle their affairs by themselves, let's go back and pack up."
At this time, Li Jiaqi and Jiang Tianxiang came to the side of a small bridge. Jiang Tianxiang looked at the water in a daze. Li Jiaqi sighed, "Tianxiang, are you okay?"
They already knew the outcome of the case. Li Jiaqi looked at Jiang Tianxiang and didn't answer him, and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Tianxiang, are you worried about your mother?"
"What if I can help her?"
Hearing this, Jiang Tianxiang suddenly looked up: "Do you have a side of you that I don't know about? Do people have two sides? Are they all hypocritical?"
"My second sister has always been lovely, and I always thought I had a good relationship with her. And my mother, I always thought she was a kind-hearted mistress of the house."
"It turns out that it's not true. She actually killed someone, and the person she killed was her own family. Why could she do that? You say she is so bad and so disgusting, but she is my mother."
"I don't hate her at all. Even if others say she is so bad, even if it is the truth, I still can't accept it."
Li Jiaqi looked at Jiang Tianxiang crying and felt distressed. She reached out and touched Jiang Tianxiang's head: "Tianxiang, do you want to hear the truth from me?"
"You are right. She is your mother. She has loved you all your life and has never hurt you. Even if others say that she is a heinous criminal, you cannot hate her."
"You don't have to echo other people's emotions. Treat her the way you want. I'm not two-faced. I want to tell you one thing. I'm actually a child of the Li family."
"I just returned to the Li family. If I ask Lord Li, maybe I can let your mother live..."
Hearing this, Jiang Tianxiang stood up and looked at Li Jiaqi: "Really? Is it really possible?"
Seeing Li Jiaqi nod, Jiang Tianxiang smiled instantly. Li Jiaqi pulled Jiang Tianxiang and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see my parents. I believe they will agree."
As they were talking, the two of them rushed towards the prefectural government office and soon entered. They waited in the lobby. Just as they saw someone was about to come in, Jiang Tianxiang suddenly grabbed Li Jiaqi.
"Li Jiaqi, I think we shouldn't embarrass your parents like this. My mother really did kill someone, and your father, Lord Magistrate Li, has a clean reputation for so many years."
"It shouldn't be ruined by her. I can't be so selfish. I can't do this. I can't..."
Li Jiaqi was stunned when he heard what Jiang Tianxiang said. Yes, he just saw that Jiang Tianxiang was unhappy, so he impulsively thought so. He could do it.
But he ignored the fact that his father had worked diligently and wholeheartedly for the people's reputation for so many years, which would be ruined because of this incident. If Mrs. Jiang didn't die.
Jiang Tianjiao will definitely not let it go. The most important thing is that there is a Master Jiang behind this matter, and Master Jiang will not do it himself.
But he allowed the second young lady of the Jiang family to take action, which already explained everything. Jiang Tianxiang looked at Li Jiaqi who was stunned, and smiled: "Jiaqi, thank you."
"But since we are all here, we still have something to ask. I hope your father can agree to let me go to the cell to see my mother."
The two of them didn't expect that Magistrate Li and his wife had already been standing outside when Jiang Tianxiang opened her mouth, and they heard their conversation clearly.
The two looked at each other and then walked in: "Jiaqi, this is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She is really a natural beauty."
Jiang Tianxiang smiled awkwardly. At this time, her mother had just been imprisoned, and she couldn't pretend to be shy: "Hello, Madam Li, Hello, Lord Li."
Lord Li nodded: "Well, what are you doing here?"
Li Jiaqi spoke first: "Dad, this is what happened. Tianxiang wants to go to the prison to see her mother. Is that okay?"
Lord Li laughed and said, "So that's the matter. Of course, you can go and have a look."
Jiang Tianxiang had not expected this to go so smoothly, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the prefect and his wife: "Thank you, sir, and thank you, madam."
Li Zhifu smiled again and said, "Look at your child, she has so many gifts. Jiaqi, you can take her with you."
Watching Jiang Tianxiang and Li Jiaqi walk away, the prefect sighed, "He is a sensible child."
The prefect's wife also nodded: "Yes, it's a pity. It's okay that she is the daughter of a second wife, but she is also the daughter of a murderer. How can such a girl be worthy of our Jiaqi!"
The prefect frowned and said nothing, but he was still a little worried: "Let Jiaqi make the decision on this matter herself."
"He just came back, I'm afraid we can't take care of his affairs yet. Moreover, Miss Chen and the others witnessed the engagement with their own eyes. If we go back on our word, it might be bad for Jiaqi."
The prefect's wife frowned: "You are right, but her identity is a little..."
