"you……"
Huaizhu disagreed when he heard this. What kind of Beijia is this who only knows how to talk?
But before she could finish her words, Huaizhu saw Mu Jiaojiao shaking her head at her.
"I cannot bear the heavy charges that Lord Jiang has brought against me. Since Lord Jiang wants to search, I naturally dare not stop him, and I will not stop him. After all, I and the other women in this room are innocent, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
"But Lord Jiang brought people to make such a scene in the middle of the night. How will the neighbors view my family in the future? After the search, Lord Jiang must explain to everyone that I and my family are not harboring any criminals."
After hearing what Jiang Wenshan said, Mu Jiaojiao felt that Lord Jiang was indeed a corrupt official. But don't think that she, Mu Jiaojiao, is a soft persimmon that is easy to control. If you, Jiang Wenshan, can't find anything, you have to tell the neighbors that their family is innocent.
Jiang Wenshan didn't react to Mu Jiaojiao's words until his subordinates and retainers spoke up first: "What? You're just a little village woman, and you still want our Cangzhou Beijia to apologize to you in person?"
"Your Excellency is right to understand it this way. After all, you broke into my house without reason and disturbed the women, children, and children in my yard. Shouldn't you give us a formal apology and restore our reputation?"
Mu Jiaojiao was not willing to be outdone when she heard this. She did not show any panic on her face and spoke with dignity and majesty.
"you……"
"This lady is right. I'm so anxious to investigate that it's wrong to disturb you in the middle of the night, but the incident has already occurred. I will have someone search this courtyard. If no clues are found, I will, as you said, inform the neighbors of what happened tonight. If we find any clues, then... that's another matter!"
Jiang Wenshan didn't say anything further, but those present certainly knew that if he was found out, he would be severely punished.
Mu Jiaojiao was not at all flustered when she heard this, and was not intimidated by his threats at all. She just looked at his subordinates who were ready to make a move, as well as Xie Linzhi beside Jiang Wenshan, and then said in a neither loud nor low voice: "Investigate!"
Mu Jiaojiao's words were obviously very ordinary, but in this situation, everyone heard that this little lady actually had a sense of superiority.
Jiang Wenshan felt the same way. His eyes flickered, and he stopped embarrassing Mu Jiaojiao. He ordered his subordinates, "Go check it out!"
The retainer beside Jiang Wenshan was not so polite. He glanced at Mu Jiaojiao with anger in his eyes, and then ordered the scattered people: "Investigate carefully!"
Mu Jiaojiao didn't react much after hearing this. She just glanced at him indifferently, as if in her eyes, this man was just an ant.
When Yunyu heard what this person said, a hint of indifference flashed in her eyes. She was thinking, how can we make this person disappear?
The people who were searching searched the entire courtyard, going back and forth for almost half an hour, but found nothing. It can be said that they had searched very diligently.
"Nothing, sir."
Finally, the servant came to report to Jiang Wenshan, and the result was not beyond Jiang Wenshan's expectations. When he asked people to search, he kept observing Mu Jiaojiao and found that Mu Jiaojiao was calm and composed, not in a hurry.
He knew that Mu Jiaojiao was definitely not an ordinary lady, but a very intelligent woman, so it was normal that he could not find anything.
When Xie Linzhi heard this report, his heart finally settled down.
"Sir, I found a red mark on this dress!"
At this moment, the two maids brought by Jiang Wenshan hurried out from the room behind Mu Jiaojiao, holding the clothes that Mu Jiaojiao had previously worn, and said.
When Huaizhu saw this, his eyes flashed, but his expression did not show any change.
Jiang Wenshan looked at the light red mark on the collar of the clothes that the maid brought out in front of him, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. It didn't look like blood, and for some reason, after the maid brought the clothes close to him, he smelled a faint sweetness.
"Send the clothes back to this lady!"
Jiang Wenshan looked up at Mu Jiaojiao, who had remained silent throughout, and gave instructions to the maid.
The two maids were asked by Xie Linzhi on short notice. They had no other experience and just thought it would be more convenient at this time. When they heard Jiang Wenshan's instructions, they didn't say much and sent the clothes back to Mu Jiaojiao's room.
"Master Jiang, you can't accuse me and my family of harboring a criminal anymore, right?"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Wenshan's behavior and knew that he was a smart man. He knew that he could not find the truth and wisely stopped.
"This lady is right. You and your family are innocent. How could you harbor a wanted criminal? I will lead some men to apprehend him tonight. I will bring them back another day to inform your neighbors. Now, I'll take my leave."
Jiang Wenshan had previously guessed that the identities of Mu Jiaojiao's family might not be that simple. After all, even Xie Linzhi, the county magistrate of Maple Leaf City, was a little afraid of them. How could it be simple?
Before he knew the whole story, he gave Mu Jiaojiao some face.
So after he finished speaking, he bowed to Mu Jiaojiao and left with his men.
Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao did not say anything to stop him. When she saw the man turned around and walked away, she ordered Yunyu: "Go and check and close the gate to the yard. Don't let the thief get in."
"Yes, Master! I will keep a close eye on him and watch him carefully. I believe no thief will dare to come in."
When Yunyu heard Mu Jiaojiao's words, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she deliberately responded loudly, as if she was afraid that the people walking by could not hear her.
Mu Jiaojiao and her group listened, and each of them had a smile on their face. This girl was not one to suffer a loss.
When Jiang Wenshan and his group heard Mu Jiaojiao's words, their expressions changed. They were all very disgusted.
This little lady speaks in a very sarcastic tone!
Xie Linzhi was also silently complaining in his heart that Prince Jin’s wife was really not an easy person to get along with!
After all the messy people in the yard had left, Mu Jiaojiao led the group into the main hall and sat down.
Although they were female relatives, everyone was still calm. Huaizhu was on the edge of a knife, so she was used to such situations. Zhao Jianjia was born into an official family and had been doing business outside recently, so she could keep her composure.
As for Chang Le, seeing that everyone else was calm and Mu Jiaojiao was very composed, she was of course not panicking either. Even if the sky fell, her master was watching over her!
"Master, everyone has left!"
After a while, Yunyu returned to the main hall and said to Mu Jiaojiao. Hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao naturally knew what she meant, which was that there should be no cats and dogs around the yard.
