Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 88 This is her purpose

Jiang Xihe followed Mrs. Wei slowly towards the Baoding pavilion at the end of the Yong Road. Mrs. Wei introduced, "My village is a legacy left by our ancestors. It has been almost sixty years since my generation, and the chrysanthemums on the mountain are getting more and more prosperous. The scenery is getting better and better every year, even the nobles in the palace like it."

Jiang Xihe nodded in agreement, "When I saw the chrysanthemums all over the mountains and fields from a distance, I knew that my wife was extraordinary. She was amazing, and that's why she took care of this place so well."

Mrs. Wei took a deep look at Jiang Xihe and raised the corners of her mouth. Everyone loved to hear flattery.

Jiang Xihe couldn't figure it out. She didn't think she was deceived, but she and Mrs. Wei were strangers. Where did the hostility in Mrs. Wei's eyes come from?

Jiang Xihe was concerned.

The two walked into the pavilion. There were many ladies and ladies sitting in the pavilion. As soon as Mrs. Wei appeared, everyone in the pavilion stood up and looked at Jiang Xihe.

Mrs. Wei introduced with a smile, "This is Miss Jiang. You may not know her, but you must have heard her name. She is the only female lawyer in our Pingan County. Now Miss Jiang is engaged to our county magistrate Mr. Pei. Everyone You know this time."

The eyes of everyone looking at Jiang Xihe changed slightly, and Jiang Xihe could see that there was alienation and closeness.

Jiang Xihe said with a smile, "Master Pei and I have just finalized the wedding date, and we are still waiting for marriage. My brother is Jiang Xifeng, who is currently the historian of the Hanlin Academy. He is our first love interest in Chunwei. I feel even more proud and worthy of praise."

Mrs. Wei stood aside with a small smile, "Yes, yes, Miss Jiang is right. I heard that Jiang Tanhua is very talented and knowledgeable. You are a lawyer, so Mr. Pei has a good vision."

Jiang Xihe didn't like to hear this. What does it mean for Mr. Pei to be discerning? Could it be that Mr. Pei likes her because his brother is the third flower?

Jiang Xihe smiled and did not answer, but instead gave in to Mrs. Wei respectfully, "It's a beautiful day today. I'm honored to meet you all through Mrs. Wei's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. I'm very happy that Mrs. Wei accompanied me all the way. Please sit down and rest. "

Mrs. Wei walked slowly to the main table, pulled Jiang Xihe to her side, and ordered the maid to serve tea and snacks.

"Today we will look at the scenery and talk at the water pavilion. The weather is good today. It is the best time for Wanju Villa. When we leave, you are all welcome. I made chrysanthemum tea for everyone to take back."

This is such a good arrangement. Everyone expressed their gratitude to Mrs. Wei one after another. Jiang Xihe also followed the good advice and did whatever others did.

The maid brought the chrysanthemum tea first, and filled it for the ladies and ladies in the pavilion respectively.

The clear tea base rippled in the light green tea cup. Jiang Xihe also chatted with Mrs. Wei along with everyone, picked up the tea cup and drank the chrysanthemum tea in one gulp.

Mrs. Wei turned sideways and asked Jiang Xihe, "What do you think, Miss Jiang?"

A gust of breeze blew by, and the lake in the distance was glowing with tiny lights. The aroma of chrysanthemum tea still lingered at the corner of Jiang Xihe's mouth. If he wanted to say something special, Jiang Xihe didn't taste it, so he replied lightly, "There is a sweet fragrance of honey. It echoes in your mouth.”

Mrs. Wei said oh, and the Jiang Xihe in front of her was handsome, gentle and gentle. He did not look like a lawyer who could not give in in court and was irresistible.

"As long as Miss Jiang likes it." The maid brought the chrysanthemum cake again, and Mrs. Wei introduced to everyone, "This is a chrysanthemum cake made with chrysanthemum dew. Please try it again. Don't be polite."

Jiang Xihe was not polite. After eating and drinking, he felt his stomach bulging after a while.

From time to time, Mrs. Wei chatted with the lady next to her. I don’t know where she started, but she talked about Jiang Xihe’s autopsy in the courtroom that day when he opened the coffin.

Mrs. Wei covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief slightly nervously, "I heard that Miss Jiang pulled out the contents of the man's body with just a tug. The servant came back and relayed the story. I was so scared that I vomited."

Everyone in the pavilion looked at Jiang Xihe with a bit of embarrassment and disgust. Jiang Xihe still doesn't understand. She just can't figure out when she offended Mrs. Wei and made her disgusted in front of so many people.

Jiang Xihe smiled and had no intention of letting go of these people who looked down on her.

So she opened her right hand and pretended to be holding a knife. She pressed the chrysanthemum cake with her left hand to look like a corpse. She faced the plate and measured it a little. Just like when she pulled out Liu Quan'an's esophagus, she divided the chrysanthemum cake in two and pulled out the chrysanthemum inside. filling.

Everyone was stunned. Jiang Xihe also shook his white little hand and slowly explained to everyone, "Mrs. Wei is right. I used this hand to cut open Liu Quanan's body that day."

As he spoke, Jiang Xihe picked up the torn piece of chrysanthemum cake and put it into his mouth.

The two timid young ladies immediately started to gag.

Jiang Xihe was angry, but still looked at Mrs. Wei with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Wei, I'm making everyone sick here. I happen to have something to do at home, so I'll leave first. Thank you Mrs. Wei for your hospitality."

Jiang Xihe was about to leave, but Mrs. Wei suddenly pulled her sleeve, "Miss Jiang, don't worry, you are not sincerely trying to scare these girls. They can't compare with you. They are all treasures placed in the palm of each government's hands."

Mrs. Wei pulled Jiang Xihe's sleeve hard, "Just wait a minute, I still have a lot of fun things that I haven't picked up yet. I'm also complaining that I didn't think carefully, so why did I mention this?"

Jiang Xihe had no choice but to sit down, but the atmosphere in the pavilion changed. The shrewd wife saw Mrs. Wei's attitude towards Jiang Xihe and suggested walking around. Soon there were fewer and fewer people in the pavilion.

Jiang Xihe turned the tea cup in his hand and asked Madam Wei, "I wonder what Madam likes to do in her daily life? Have we met before?"

Mrs. Wei glanced at Jiang Xihe lightly, not paying attention to the sixteen-year-old girl. She only looked at the scenery in the distance, slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip, as if she did not hear Jiang Xihe's question.

The last guest in the pavilion walked out.

Seeing this, Jiang Xihe's smile deepened, "Mrs. Wei sent me an invitation to entertain me. Xiaohe deserves it. Since the lady doesn't want to talk more, I'll go back."

Jiang Xihe stood up again, and Mrs. Wei suddenly said sternly to the maid beside her, "What did you do? I put it here just now, why is it gone? Miss Jiang is the only one in this pavilion. Do you mean my bracelet?" Was it taken away by Miss Jiang?”

The maid hurriedly knelt down and said, "Madam, I don't dare to lie. The bracelet has always been placed between Madam and Miss Jiang. I don't know why it disappeared."

Jiang Xihe was stunned on the spot.

Mrs. Wei raised her voice, pretending to be stern, "I think I treat you too well on weekdays, so you don't know the importance of each of them, right? Miss Jiang is a guest and a lawyer, how can you covet my bracelet? Who is here? , drag this girl down to hit the board."

The maid cried and begged for mercy. She kept emphasizing that she clearly saw the lady taking off the bracelet and putting it on the table. As for why it was gone, she didn't dare to tell nonsense.

Some ladies and ladies heard the commotion and returned to the pavilion. Everyone talked in low voices and discussed the current scene. Jiang Xihe lowered his face and sneered in his heart. Could this be the purpose of Mrs. Wei inviting her to Wanju Villa?

What should she do now?
