Mrs. Jiang ignored the pain in her waist and struggled to stand up to find Shen Junzhuo, but her legs seemed to be out of control and she couldn't use her strength. She couldn't stand up even if she leaned on Mama Jia's body.
Seeing that her legs were like that, Mother Jia became even more panicked. She stretched out her hand to hold her down and cried:
"Madam, madam, don't scare me. Come on, use some force!"
The yard turned into a pot of porridge. The maids and women who had not had time to run away were screaming and running around, while the imperial soldiers were just tumbling about with dark faces.
Mrs. Jiang struggled a few more times, but still couldn't stand up. She simply collapsed on the ground, pointed at the group of forbidden soldiers and cursed.
Mother Jia had never seen Mrs. Chiang being so out of character. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were in a mess, her face was covered with dirt, she was sitting on the ground without any image, and she was uttering some curse words that were only spoken by street people.
Soon, the Imperial Guards who had entered the house to search came out with their things. Mrs. Jiang only took one look at the straw doll with a needle stuck in it and felt her eyes darken.
Witchcraft is something that is expressly prohibited by Dacheng, and anyone found guilty of it will be put in jail!
Now that they know this one, they must also know where the other one is.
When she used this kind of witchcraft, she only wanted to get rid of it once and for all, so that the child would be sick forever.
No wonder Shen Junzhuo mobilized the imperial army. It turned out that she was the only one to be dealt with. Even if she was a queen, she would not be able to avoid such a crime!
How did he know? This matter was done so secretly that apart from the nun who made the order, only she and Mama Jia knew about it, and the nun had long since disappeared...
She looked at Mama Jia beside her with sharp eyes, and her eyes were like sharp knives that wanted to penetrate her whole body.
Mother Jia's heart skipped a beat, she couldn't help but take a step back, and stammered:
"Madam, what's wrong with this?"
Her retreat and stuttering made Mrs. Jiang understand that she felt guilty. She sneered repeatedly and waved to Mama Jia, gesturing for her to come over.
Mother Jia hesitated for a moment, and finally took a step forward. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped forward, she received a heavy slap from Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang opened her mouth and cursed:
"You are a widow that no one wants. I rescued you from someone else's hands, and now you want to repay kindness with hatred. If I fall, what good will it do to you!"
After that slap, Mama Jia's face started to feel burning pain. She reached out and touched her cheek, and there were four finger prints on her face.
Mother Jia burst into tears. As soon as the straw doll was found, she knew she was finished. No matter what she said, Mrs. Jiang would not let her go because of her suspicious temperament.
Mother Jia's heart kept sinking. She covered her face and her heart felt cold. She had served her as a master and servant for so many years, taking over any dirty work, running errands and doing things for her, but in the end she still ended up with nothing.
Such an ending.
Forget it, her life was saved by her once, and now she has returned it. She suppressed the tears in her eyes, knelt down, and said:
"I'm sorry, madam. I was confused for a moment and did something like this. Please punish me, madam!"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Jiang immediately knew that she had wrongly blamed Mama Jia, but now it was impossible to pick her out.
The courtyard fell silent for a moment, and suddenly someone came in clapping their hands. Before the person arrived, the voice came first:
"What a good show! Madam is tired, how can it be done if no one is watching the performance?" Madam Jiang suddenly turned her head and saw Shen Junzhuo's deputy general Xu Dachang walking in, followed by a man who had been tied up.
nun.
She instantly understood that she could not deny anything, and her whole body collapsed softly.
Xu Dachang took a few steps forward, stood in front of Mrs. Jiang, and said:
"If there is anything you still don't understand, madam, please go to the prison and figure it out!" After saying that, he turned around and ordered the soldiers following behind him:
"Take them all away! Don't dirty the place in the Duke's Mansion!"
