He should have beaten this evil girl to death in the capital a long time ago, so that she would not have caused a series of disasters in the future and asked him to clean up the mess.
If Jiang Ru was really responsible for the leak, Jiang Zhe would not let her go no matter what he said this time.
There were people from Xixia in the military camp, so Jiang Zhe's order was first transmitted to Huquan Temple.
Tuoba Mingge had previously ordered them to watch Jiang Ru and take appropriate action if she was in danger. Now was the time to be in danger.
Jiang Ru has been on tenterhooks these days. She doesn't know when Yuan Lang and others will come back. The soldier guarding her is younger, and she has a more delicate and aggressive temperament, so the soldier doesn't dare to talk to her.
Jiang Ru's stay at Huquan Temple was quite satisfactory, except for the daily work, which made her hands rough.
"Gugu...Gugu!"
"Why are there birds chirping in the cold weather?"
Xiao Tao squatted on the footrest and massaged Jiang Ru's hands. She loved beauty the most, and her rough hands needed to be repaired.
The sound of birds chirping came from below the window. Jiang Ru straightened up and opened the window to take a look outside.
The cold wind from outside rushed in, making her shiver. Just as she was about to reach out and close the door, a hand suddenly stretched out, almost startling her.
"What.……"
Before he could even ask the question, someone outside covered his mouth with his hand. The man, dressed in black, glanced into the room first. When he saw Xiao Tao on the footrest, a flash of murder flashed through his eyes.
meaning.
This person cannot and must not be kept.
"Ms. Jiang, I am the bodyguard of Master Xun. He asked me to tell you that you are about to be in danger. General Jiang has sent people to arrest you. You should follow your subordinates before they come!"
"What, my father wants to arrest me, why?"
Jiang Ru's heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale.
She couldn't figure out what she had done wrong recently. The only thing she did wrong was concealing Xun Sheng's existence and deceiving those idiots like Yuan Lang. But she didn't do anything harmful, so why should she be arrested.
Jiang Ru had always complained about Jiang Zhe, but the guard's words made her furious.
Naturally, the guard couldn't explain it clearly. He only said that Yuan Lang suffered heavy casualties when he went out and blamed Jiang Ru for everything, so Jiang Zhe was blamed.
When Jiang Ru heard that it was related to Yuan Lang, Jiang Ru's expression froze. She eavesdropped on several people's conversations. Could it be that she was discovered?
Jiang Ru naturally knew that these people were doing important things, but she eavesdropped and didn't tell anyone...
No, she said it. She seemed to have told Xun Sheng.
Although he didn't say what he was going to do, Xun Sheng could definitely guess what Yuan Lang and the others would do based on his intelligence.
"Who is your master?"
Jiang Ru had always thought that Xun Sheng was just a man from an aristocratic border family, but now all the details that she had deliberately ignored came to her mind. Xun Sheng's identity was definitely not ordinary.
Maybe, they are people from the enemy country.
The tip of her heart was tightly clenched, and her face was pale. The guard was anxious to take her away. The master said that this Lady Jiang is still useful and there must be no mistakes.
"My master will tell you his identity personally. Madam Jiang, please come with me now."
His refusal made Jiang Ru even more suspicious. She would rather be captured by Jiang Zhe than fall into the enemy's camp, but she had the leverage in Xun Sheng's hands, so naturally she couldn't break up with him.
"I can go with you, but I have to go back to Jiang Mansion first."
She wanted to go to Aunt Zhao for help. Aunt Zhao was pregnant now and might be able to intercede for her. Jiang Ru wanted to take a gamble on Jiang Zhe's father-daughter love for her.
Hearing Jiang Ru's request, the guard hesitated.
"this……"
He can't make the decision.
It would be great if the master were here, but the master returned to the royal city and didn't know when he would be back. He couldn't be hard on Jiang Ru. After all, this was the woman that the master liked. He didn't know that Jiang Ru was in the master's heart.
It's so heavy that if he hurt her, he might not be able to save his life.
"I'm going back to my house to pack my luggage. If you ask me to leave so suddenly, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back again. I still have a lot of important things in Jiang's house, and I have to get them back."
Jiang Ru forced herself to calm down, but the guard was indeed shaken.
"Okay, but you have to come out as soon as possible, otherwise you will be bumped into by General Jiang's people. Even if you want to leave, I can't help you."
"good."
Jiang Ru breathed a sigh of relief, her palms covered in cold sweat.
Xiao Tao wanted to help pack her things, but Jiang Ru had no intention of taking her away. The temple needed a puppet to work with, and Xiao Tao was the most suitable candidate.
"Madam, it's very windy and snowy outside. Wear this cloak made of sable fur, which is the best way to resist the wind and cold."
"good."
Jiang Ru was being served by her with a calm expression on her face, but when Xiao Tao turned around, she lifted the teapot on the table and hit her on the back of the neck. Xiao Tao's vision went dark and she fainted.
The guard outside heard the noise in the room, opened the window and took a look, and shuddered when he saw Xiaotao lying on the ground.
This Lady Jiang is really ruthless and shows no mercy to the maids around her.
However, just fainting is not enough.
Jiang Zhe was still suspicious about Jiang Ru's matter, and he wanted to make complete plans. The guards carried Xiao Tao out and threw her into the well, making it look like she committed suicide out of fear of crime.
Jiang Ru looked at his actions and showed no signs of mercy. So what if the maid who had served her for many years was not as important as her own safety.
Jiang Ru was wrapped in a large cloak and was led away from Huquan Temple by the guards. As soon as they left, people from the military camp also arrived.
The soldier guarding Jiang Ru had long been knocked unconscious by the guards. There was no one in the guest room, and both of them thought Jiang Ru had run away.
What the soldier was even thinking was whether it was the little maid who kidnapped Mrs. Jiang. After all, after spending many days together, he could see that the maid was a scheming one.
Mrs. Jiang is usually very quiet and doesn't come out of the house, but the little maid is busy and coquettish. She looks like a slave and a bully.
He told the soldier who came to arrest him his idea. The man was not familiar with Jiang Ru, so he believed the soldier's words.
"But where will they go?"
In this icy and snowy environment, I'm afraid the two little ladies wouldn't be able to run very far.
"Could it be hidden in this temple?"
Huquan Temple is very big, and it is possible to hide two people. The two subconsciously searched in the temple, searched everywhere, and finally found Xiao Tao's body in the well.
Her face had been swollen and her true face could not be seen, but based on Xiao Tao's clothes, Xiao Bing recognized her as 'Lady Jiang.'
Therefore, the news that Jiang Ru was killed by the maid soon spread.
Such a matter was too serious, and they did not dare to delay. They rushed to the military camp with the female body overnight. The little maid also fled in fear of crime, so they had to send someone to arrest her.
Jiang Zhe needed to make a decision on these matters, and the two of them felt heavy in their hearts.
