Chapter 470: Clues about the Jade Pendant
Jiang Family. There were only a dozen days left until the winter solstice, and Jiang Suining was often dragged by Zheng to see the various dowries prepared for her. All the betrothal gifts sent by the Shen family were added to Jiang Suining's dowry list and taken back as they were. Zheng and Jiang Zhitong collected countless things. In addition to the various items that women usually prepare when they get married, there were countless silks, satins, and precious ornaments. In addition, Zheng and Jiang Zhitong also discussed taking out several shops and many land deeds as dowry. The richness was so great that even Jiang Suining couldn't help but be a little surprised. But Zheng always felt that it was not enough, and sometimes her eyes would turn red when she talked about it. Although she was not her biological daughter, Zheng had treated Jiang Suining as her own daughter in the past few years. As the wedding day was getting closer, Zheng and Jiang Zhitong were reluctant to let her go. When talking about marriage at the Jiang family's dinner table, they were always happy and sad. But Jiang Mushi saw his parents' reluctance, and when he tried to ease the atmosphere and said that his sister should not get married, he was immediately attacked by Zheng and Jiang Zhitong, who told him not to say such nonsense. When Xier reported the news of Yang Huihui's miscarriage, Jiang Suining had just finished talking to Zheng and returned to his own courtyard. After listening to Xier, Jiang Suining was stunned for a moment, and then asked. "How is Yang Huihui's health?" "I asked someone to inquire, and heard from the servants of the He Mansion that Yang Huihui was stimulated by her mother's affairs. Now she is resting. Although her life is not in danger, the child is indeed gone." "It's good that she is fine. As for the child..." Jiang Suining said slowly, "Perhaps everything is destined in the dark." Yang Huihui designed to kill He Yuanwei. Yan'er died for the crime. In order to solve the future troubles for Yang Huihui, Wang killed Yang Manman and lost her own life. But Yang Huihui lost her child because of the great stimulation... Four lives, plus an unborn child. The case of He Yuanwei really involves too many people. Xier sighed and couldn't help but said, "Who said it wasn't? Maybe this is karma. And I heard that when He Yuanwei was killed, Madam He also suspected Yang Huihui. She let her stay in the He family for the sake of the child. Now that the child is gone, I'm afraid that not only the He family's wealth will not be able to be kept, but even Yang Huihui will be driven out." Xier sighed again. "It's really sad to say that the huge Yang Guogong Mansion is now exiled and some are dead, and only Yang Huihui is left." Jiang Suining frowned and thought, "When will Yang Guogong be exiled?" "It seems to be the day after tomorrow." After a moment of silence, Jiang Suining said, "Let someone prepare the carriage, and we will go to see Pei Zhaozhi."... He family. Yang Huihui lay silently on the soft couch by the window, covered with a thick quilt, and a pot of charcoal fire was placed next to her. That day, after meeting Wang in the prison, she was mentally prepared, but even so, when she learned of Wang's death, she still felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body, and then she had unbearable abdominal pain. Yang Huihui reached out and touched her flat belly, muttering to herself, "This may be retribution." Xiao He stayed by her side, looking at her own wife with heartache, but she opened her mouth and didn't know what else to say. She had said all the words she could persuade, but it still didn't work. She knew that the wife was not ignorant of the truth that she should take good care of herself, and she also knew that the wife did not have any self-destructive desire to die. But since the miscarriage, she had not seen the wife shed a tear, and all the emotions were suppressed in her heart, and she was afraid that sooner or later something would go wrong. Hearing the knock on the door, Xiao He glanced at Yang Huihui and walked to the door. After listening to the report from the servant, she quickly returned to the room, knelt beside Yang Huihui's soft couch and spoke happily. "Madam, there is news from the Ministry of Justice, saying that you can go to the Ministry of Justice to see the Duke!" Yang Huihui turned her head and looked at Xiao He in a daze, and asked uncertainly: "What did you say?" "Madam, you can go to see the Duke, it's in the Ministry of Justice, you can go today!" Xiao He hurriedly said again. Yang Huihui's somewhat absent-minded eyes refocused, "Really?" "Really!" Yang Huihui grabbed Xiao He's sleeve, her heart beating fast, "Change my clothes for me and prepare the carriage, I'm going now." Seeing that her wife was alive again, Xiao He hurriedly responded. Having just had a miscarriage and was weak, Xiao He found a thick winter coat for Yang Huihui to change into, and ordered someone to prepare the carriage, and put a thick cushion in the carriage, and then helped Yang Huihui out of the He family. At the Ministry of Justice, Pei Zhaozhi had already given instructions in advance. After Yang Huihui arrived, someone took her to the prison where Duke Yang was imprisoned. There was a chair in the cell and a pot of charcoal fire. Duke Yang had already learned from Pei Zhaozhi what had happened during this period. When he saw Yang Huihui, he stood there stiffly. Yang Huihui knelt down directly. Looking at his daughter kneeling on the ground, Duke Yang thought of her miscarriage, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. Finally, he could no longer hold back and burst into tears. The father and daughter were both in tears before they spoke. Pei Zhaozhi did not stay in the cell, but waited outside the prison. It was not until half an hour later that Yang Huihui came out of the prison. Her eyes were red, but she looked much better than before. "Thank you, Lord Pei!" Yang Huihui bowed. According to the rules, exiled people can meet with relatives and friends after leaving the city, but with her current health, the road out of the city is too far, and I am afraid she may not be able to bear it. And the case of her father, after all, angered the emperor, so it is still unclear whether she can be given a chance to say goodbye. It is obviously a favor of Pei Zhaozhi to let her meet her father in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. "Mrs. He, you don't have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Miss Jiang." "Miss Jiang?" "Yes, she came to me yesterday and pleaded with me to give you a chance to meet your father." Yang Huihui was stunned. "Why did she do that?" Pei Zhaozhi glanced at Yang Huihui. "I also asked her. She said that you once said that you are the same person. So she believes that you will not be discouraged and have the intention of committing suicide, but some things are too heavy in your heart, and you need an outlet after all. And after exile, the chance of seeing each other again is slim. She hopes that you and your daughter can say goodbye." Yang Huihui felt mixed emotions and shook her head. "I was wrong in what I said. After all, she and I are different. If we were in different places, I probably wouldn't have this kindness." Jiang Suining is still different from her. Pei Zhaozhi did not continue the topic, but only said: "Since you have met, Madam He should go back earlier. I still have things to deal with, so I will not send Madam He off." Although the previous case had been closed and Pei Zhaozhi had convinced himself, he still felt uncomfortable looking at Yang Huihui at this moment and was unwilling to say more. Pei Zhaozhi ordered the yamen runners to send Yang Huihui out of the Ministry of Justice, but Yang Manman stood there, as if she had something else to say. "Madam He, is there anything else?" Yang Huihui took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to Pei Zhaozhi. "This was secretly given to me by my father before he was imprisoned. At that time, he only told me to keep it carefully, and did not say much about other things. Just now, my father told me that this is the certificate of the black market bank. He was worried that something might happen to the Yang family, so he secretly left a sum of money in advance and kept it in the black market. I will now hand this jade pendant to you for your disposal. I only hope that this matter will not become a crime for my father or my Yang family again." Pei Zhaozhi did not expect that Duke Yang would have a trick up his sleeve. He did not take the jade pendant immediately, but asked. "I heard that your current situation in the He family is not very good, and you may not be able to rely on the He family's wealth in the future. Why do you still want to hand over this jade pendant?" "I am grateful to you and Miss Jiang for giving me this opportunity, so I don't want to implicate you, nor do I want to leave any hidden dangers in the future. What's more, in my current situation, how can I enter the black market at will? Instead of taking risks, it is better to confess. I only hope that you will not pursue it for the sake of my confession and leniency." Pei Zhaozhi believed that Yang Huihui was telling the truth and reached out to take the jade pendant. "Since you have confessed in time, I promise you that I will not pursue your father for this matter..." Before he finished speaking, Pei Zhaozhi was stunned when he saw the familiar pattern on the jade pendant. No wonder he had found nothing when he checked the jade pendant before. He was careless and overlooked the black market!
