The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 262 Where is the evidence?

Jiang Baobao: "She will send someone to destroy the rockery in advance. I will shout that my stomach hurts near the rockery and call you over."

"As soon as you come over, I'll find a way to pull you over and take the opportunity to fall off the rockery. I can then frame you and avenge my previous grudge, and I can also take the opportunity to abort the child."

"Your Highness, considering our old friendship, will definitely treat me better in the future because I got pregnant with him and had a miscarriage."

After hearing this, Xie Run couldn't help but praise Wan Linlang for her scheming.

If she really wants to do something for Jiang Baobao, I'm afraid the probability of success is quite high.

After Jiang Baobao finished speaking, Xie Run just asked, "Where's the evidence?"

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Xie Run: "What evidence?"

"You said it was Wan Linlang who secretly sent you food in the small Buddhist temple, that it was she who taught you to fake a pregnancy to win favor, and that it was she who told you to frame someone else for your miscarriage. These things were either made up by you or done by Wan Linlang."

"First, you have to have evidence."

Jiang Baobao's mind went blank as he tried hard to recall what evidence he had against Wan Linlang.

No!

She has nothing!

Jiang Baobao has always looked down on people of lower status than himself.

When Wan Linlang came up to cling to her, she treated him as a pug hanging around her feet.

She was kind-hearted and willing to give Wan Linlang some benefits, so how could she suspect that this lapdog wanted to harm her?

Xie Run asked, "Where are the fake pregnancy pills you took?"

Jiang Baobao said dully, "I only took that medicine twice when I was in the small Buddhist temple. She said she had to watch from the side and make sure she felt the pregnancy pulse before she would feel at ease."

"Only those two occasions... She even took the bottle with her afterwards."

"What bottle?"

"A dark red porcelain vase with a few pieces of paint falling off the edge. It's very ordinary..." Jiang Baobao thought hard.

Xie Run asked again: "Who prepared the blood bag for your fake pregnancy?"

Jiang Baobao said weakly, "She taught me the method, and I spent money to bribe the woman at the East Corner Gate to buy it from outside."

Xie Run: "...In other words, you don't have any evidence against Wan Linlang?"

Jiang Baobao: "The people around me can testify!"

Xie Run: "The person who can follow you to do this must be your confidant. In other words, he is also your mouthpiece."

"Their confessions...are better than nothing."

The more Jiang Baobao listened to Xie Run's analysis, the more panicked she became. She gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't lie. It was all planned by her!"

"Now you are in charge of the palace's backyard. Aren't you capable?"

"Go check! Go check!"

Xie Run looked at Jiang Baobao with a stern look in his eyes: "Wan Linlang has always been cautious in her actions. Unless something unexpected happens, even if they investigate, they will only find you, and there is no way they will involve her."

"You are so foolish and arrogant that you dare to seek the skin of a tiger..."

Xie Run wanted to ask her some questions, so he stopped saying anything unpleasant.

Jiang Baobao just said: "I didn't do it, that's it!"

Xie Run: "I still have some questions for you. If you answer honestly, perhaps your crime will be mitigated."

"Otherwise, the day the prince returns will be the day you die."

Baby Jiang shrank back in fear.

Xie Run asked seriously, "When Wan Linlang taught you to fall from the rockery, did she ever tell you she had other plans?"

Jiang Baobao looked at her blankly, "What other plans?"

Xie Run guessed that Wan Linlang didn't say anything.

Wan Linlang was going to kill Jiang Baobao with one move, leaving her no chance of survival.

Xie Run: "You fell from the rockery and disfigured Concubine Sun."

"The eldest son was hit on the head and has not woken up yet."

Xie Run looked at her quietly, "You don't think these are all coincidences, do you?"

Jiang Baobao looked at Xie Run quietly, but his body trembled uncontrollably. "You mean... all this was planned by Wan Linlang?"

Xie Run looked at her quietly, "If you don't confess everything you know, these things will eventually become your calculations."

"I said! I said everything!"

Jiang Baobao finally panicked, "I'll tell you whatever you ask me."

"I didn't know Concubine Sun and the eldest son were down there."

"I didn't intend to plot against anyone else. Wan Linlang only said that you had bullied me before, and you are the most favored one in the mansion. If you want to harm my child, the prince will definitely not favor you anymore."

"She also said that Feihe Pavilion doesn't have many visitors, which makes it easier for me to frame you. If I say you pushed me, no one will be able to testify on your behalf. I think she has a point... How could I have imagined that Concubine Sun and the eldest son were down there?"

Xie Run thought that Jiang Baobao was telling the truth.

But the truth without evidence is nothing but nonsense.

"You should have a good rest. I am going to investigate this matter as well."

Jiang Baobao tugged at the corner of Xie Run's clothes, his voice hoarse as if it were a ghost, "She felt my pulse when she taught me how to use the fake pregnancy pills. She must have discovered I was pregnant at that time!"

"She kept it a secret from me and even fed me fake pregnancy pills, making me think I wasn't pregnant... She killed my child!"

"Before today, I didn't know I was really pregnant!"

"If I knew I was really pregnant, I would never use my own child to harm you!"

Xie Run: "If you weren't so cruel to yourself, perhaps your child could have survived."

The moment Jiang Baobao rolled down from the rockery, Xie Run could only praise her as a ruthless person.

"Rest well. If I find out anything, I'll send someone to let you know."

Jiang Baobao: "What about Wan Linlang?"

"If the evidence is conclusive, she will not escape punishment."

"What if there's no evidence?"

Xie Run didn't say anything.

Because she is not the official master, she cannot punish anyone without evidence.

Baby Jiang bit his lower lip and didn't react until it bled.

Xie Run left the yard and only instructed people to keep an eye on the eldest son and the wet nurse.

There must be something fishy going on with these two people!

Back at Chunshan Courtyard, the house was cozy and warm. Yueliang had cut a bunch of red plums from somewhere and put them in a vase to amuse Taotao.

Xie Run stood at the door and watched for a while, waiting for the coldness in his body to dissipate before going forward.

When Tao Tao saw her, he called out crisply, "Mom!"

Xie Run sat on the chair and said, "Come here, mommy will hug you!"

Taotao suddenly rushed over like a little cannonball and threw himself into Xie Run's arms.

Xie Run hugged him tightly, rocking him gently, his thoughts a little confused.

Taotao called out "Mom" and looked up to show Xie Run his hand.

Xie Runyi lowered his head and saw that he was holding a plum blossom in his palm.

"I don't know how your father is doing in Qiangwu."

Taotao didn't understand Xie Run's uneasiness, and just lowered her head to play with the plum blossom in her hand.

That night, Xie Run felt more and more that something was wrong, and suddenly he sat up.

"wrong!"
