Chapter 414: Can’t Die, the Show Continues
A letter, just a few words.
No complaints, just that we may never see each other again in the next life.
This was Jiang's last words.
She walked out slowly.
The maid immediately followed, "Madam!"
"You don't have to follow me anymore."
Jiang, wearing her wedding dress, walked out of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and headed towards the place where she fell into the water.
Dying in the place where she was humiliated would prove her innocence, right?
Jiang attracted a lot of attention along the way.
Everyone followed her, wanting to see what excitement would happen next.
"Why is Jiang dressed like this? Is she crazy?"
"After something like this happened, she still dares to show up in public? She has no shame at all!"
"When I saw her, I thought of how she was carried up that day. Not to mention, she was in such good shape even though she was middle-aged. The men who saved her were so lucky."
"Yes, not only did I feast my eyes on it, I also got to touch it!"
If Jiang really succeeds, these words will become directed at Ji Chuhe.
Ji Chuhe stood in a private room of a roadside teahouse, looking at Jiang who was walking slowly towards him in the distance.
"Madam, you guessed it right. The Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion really forced Jiang to die! Luo Jixun didn't even protect her mother!" Mianzhu was a little unbelievable.
Ji Chuhe did not respond, but looked around, and finally saw a figure in the crowd.
"Rong Song." She called out.
Rong Song immediately followed her gaze and said, "Madam, I saw it, it's Luo Jixun."
"What is he doing here?" Mianzhu asked in confusion.
"Of course he was afraid that his mother would change her mind at the last minute. He wanted to see his mother die before he could rest assured. Then, after his mother died, he would act like a filial son."
"This..." Mianzhu couldn't even describe these people from the Luo family! What kind of mentality do they have?
"Rongsong, wait a minute. You must save Jiang no matter what. Remember, let her finish her act and then take action when the situation is critical."
"Yes." Rong Song immediately stepped out.
"Madam, why did you save Jiang? It was the people from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion who forced her to death."
"If she dies, it will only benefit the Zhenyuan Marquisate. If she fails to die, the Zhenyuan Marquisate will be in turmoil. It would be best to take this opportunity to force Luo Heng back from the northern border."
"Oh." Mianzhu responded with a confused look.
Ji Chuhe stood up and walked to the window. From this position, he could see the entire situation below.
Jiang walked to the place where the accident happened and stopped.
There were already people surrounding her, staring at her intently.
"My carriage passed by here and was suddenly hit by a mad horse and fell into the river. I also fell into the water and passed out. When I woke up again, I never thought that the sky had fallen!"
"I know that my marriage to General Luo caused him to regret the engagement, and I became a traitor. I also became notorious, but what else did I do wrong? I lived a simple life, taking care of my husband and children, fulfilling my responsibilities as a wife and a mother, and never slacked off. But after falling into the water, I became a slut who committed adultery."
"Who saw me having an affair with someone? Why are you destroying my reputation like this? And those who jumped into the water to save me, you are doing evil things that destroy people's innocence in the name of doing good deeds. You will not get a good retribution!"
"I, Jiang, have never had an affair with anyone. I have always been upright and honest. Now my reputation has been ruined. I don't want to live in disgrace! Today, I will bleed here to prove my innocence!"
Jiang pulled out a dagger and put it against his neck.
The sharp blade immediately cut her skin.
"She is seeking death!"
"He used his death to prove his innocence. This Jiang has some courage!"
"Her father is also a general, and he saved General Luo's life. Because she had no mother since she was a child, her father was worried about her and brought her up to raise her personally. She also wore armor and killed enemies in battle!"
"It's her bad luck in this matter, but she doesn't have to die to prove her innocence! This is too stupid!"
"Yes, yes."
As Jiang listened to what everyone said, she felt even more miserable.
She looked in one direction.
Luo Jixun stood in the crowd, looked at her, and then turned away.
If, at this time, he was willing to run over and stand up to protect his mother, Jiang would not have died.
But, he didn't.
There was even a hint of anger and impatience on his face.
He even felt that his mother died too slowly and should have died more quickly.
Ji Chuhe was also looking at Luo Jixun.
There is a ferocious monster in everyone's heart, but under normal circumstances, this monster is locked up tightly. Once this monster is released, it will be out of control.
The monster in Luo Jixun's heart has been released.
Jiang's heart was completely chilled.
She raised her sore wrist and was about to exert force when she suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand and the dagger in her hand fell directly to the ground.
However, the dagger had already cut the skin on her neck, and blood immediately flowed out. Jiang now looked extremely embarrassed.
She looked at the dagger that had fallen to the ground and immediately bent down to pick it up and stab herself again. Suddenly, an old woman carrying a basket rushed over and kicked the dagger away.
"You're fine, why are you trying to commit suicide? Madam, you're also a victim in this matter, why are you still unable to get over it?" The old woman held Jiang's hand and looked at her with pity.
Jiang's nose felt sore and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Is that right, everyone?" the old woman suddenly turned around and asked loudly to the crowd watching the fun.
"Yes, what the old lady said is right, ma'am, don't let it get to your head. General Luo is still in the North. If he knew that you were forced to commit suicide, he would be so sad!"
"Yes, yes, for so many years, you and General Luo have a love as strong as gold. General Luo has only you as his legal wife and Mr. Luo as his legitimate son. For so many years, he has not even taken a concubine. This is enough to show that you two are truly in love!"
"You two have such a relationship, and the Princess of Huaiyang and the Prince of Huaiyang are in harmony. There is no need to mention the regret of the engagement, and you should not take it to heart."
Jiang looked at everyone in confusion.
These were the words she dreamed of hearing.
"Madam, just like you said, you have been living a secluded life these years, taking care of your husband and children. I believe many people have heard about it, right? There is no such thing as an affair. These are just rumors spread by some nosy people. You must not let these rumors get to you." The old woman continued to persuade.
Jiang was very shocked.
Over the years, the Luo family had been telling her how malicious the outside world was towards her and how much they looked down on her.
However, when she was facing life and death, it was these ordinary people and strangers who came to comfort her.
How could it be possible that the Luo family said they disliked her for ruining someone else's engagement!
"Mr. Luo! Isn't this Mr. Luo?" someone suddenly shouted.
