The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 266 She wants Jiang Baobao’s life!

No matter if she was tortured into confessing or coerced into confessing with threats or bribes, as long as she was willing to speak, Xie Run saved a lot of trouble.

When she entered Jiang Baobao's room, Jiang Baobao was lying on the bed and Xing'er was kneeling on the ground with blood marks on her face.

The maid brought freshly brewed tea. Xie Run asked with a faint smile, "How did you become involved with Concubine Wan? And how did you plot to harm Concubine Jiang?"

Xing'er lowered her head and said, "A year ago, the master was demoted to a concubine because she offended Concubine Xie. I tried to persuade her several times, but the master refused to listen."

"At that time, I began to have second thoughts."

Xie Run heard what she said was similar to what he guessed, so he asked, "What happened next?"

"It was Concubine Wan who approached me first. She asked me to do something for her, and she resolved my indenture issue and transferred me away from my master."

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but yelled angrily, "Shut up! Don't call me master!"

"Who is your master, you traitor? Are you worthy enough to be a servant of my Jiang family?"

Seeing that Jiang Baobao was getting angry again and was about to grab Xing'er and scold her, Xie Run could no longer bear it and said, "Shut up!"

"Anger after childbirth is the most likely to cause heavy bleeding. If you want to die, stop talking nonsense. I will have someone block the court doctor at the door and not let him in!"

Jiang Baobao was instantly speechless.

Xie Rundao: "You are telling the truth."

"You are dissatisfied with Jiang Baobao's cruelty and stupidity and want to serve in other courtyards, but your indenture is in Jiang Baobao's hands. She won't let you go, so you can't go anywhere."

Wan Linlang is indeed very good at finding people's weaknesses and exploiting them.

Xie Run smiled and said, "Baby Jiang has an impatient temper and hates it most when a girl below him develops disloyal thoughts."

"Wan Linlang is so sure that she can help you get a birth contract. It's impossible for her to let Jiang Baobao let go willingly. That can only mean... she wants Jiang Baobao's life!"

Baby Jiang widened his eyes and looked at Xing'er in disbelief.

There was a hint of surprise in Xing'er's eyes, and her scalp felt numb, but she couldn't help but nodded.

Xie Run glanced at Jiang Baobao meaningfully, "Do you know the nurse Mu who is by the eldest master's side?"

"I heard that you will be transferred to serve the eldest young master soon. Without Nanny Mu's approval, you probably won't have this opportunity, right?"

Xing'er's body was shaking. Jiang Baobao, who was standing beside her, heard something he didn't know. He gritted his teeth and almost tore the handkerchief in his hand.

Xing'er said tremblingly, "I have only met Nanny Mu once."

"The master fell for Concubine Wan's scheme and was tricked into using a fake pregnancy recipe. Concubine Wan was afraid that the master would back out, so she had this servant secretly coax the master into believing that the fake pregnancy wouldn't bring any danger and would actually bring down Concubine Xie."

"During this period, if the master has any ideas, this servant will report them to Concubine Wan."

"Before leaving the palace, Concubine Wan gave me a letter, asking me to follow Nanny Mu's advice."

"I only met Nanny Mu once. It was she who told me that the rockery had been tampered with and that I should urge the Master to use the miscarriage to harm Concubine Xie."

"Besides that, I have never seen Nanny Mu again."

"Regarding the matter of being transferred to serve the eldest young master, I only used money to smooth things over with Manager Zhao, and everything else was arranged by Concubine Wan."

Xie Run put down his teacup, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a concubine Wan."

"You're quite good at adapting to the situation and have confessed everything you need to. Only Nanny Mu is being stubborn and refusing to say a word."

Xing'er knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Concubine, for your life. Thank you, Concubine, for your life!"

"I have done something wrong, and I dare not hope for a lighter punishment. I only beg Concubine Xie to spare my life!"

Xie Run sat on the chair and said calmly, "Your indenture is in the hands of Concubine Jiang. You are a slave she brought from home. Logically, the palace has no right to dispose of you."

"Now that you've admitted your mistake, I won't punish you."

Xie Run glanced at Jiang Baobao, whose eyes were red with anger, and said, "It's just that your master wants to punish you, and the mansion can't do anything about it."

Xing'er seemed to have lost all her strength and fell to the ground helplessly.

She seemed hopeless and had given up hope.

But Xie Run clearly saw that Xing'er breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she finished speaking.

Jiang Baobao is stupid and impulsive, but it is precisely because of this personality that he is easy to handle.

Xing'er is not stupid. She has been serving Jiang Baobao since she was a child, so she naturally knows what Jiang Baobao likes to hear.

If she had the ability to use her brain to coax Jiang Baobao, although she would not escape punishment, her life would definitely be saved.

If she were more capable, she might be able to take the opportunity to become Jiang Baobao's confidant.

She just breathed a sigh of relief and was confident that she could save her life from Jiang Baobao.

Xie Run never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the servants in the backyard.

After trying a case, Xie Run felt as if his scalp had lightened.

As it was getting dark, the servants of the palace prepared to close the gate.

The people sent by the princess to investigate have already reported the news.

People still brought spring rolls.

"This servant greets Concubine Xie."

Xie Run was accompanying his son and turned to look at him. "Have you found any news at Nanny Mu's house?"

"I originally started to investigate Nanny Mu's family, but I didn't find any information at all."

"At night, a hunter suddenly appeared at Mu Nainian's house. He didn't say anything and didn't even come in. He just left some rabbit meat at the door."

"I became suspicious and sent someone to investigate."

"This hunter is an orphan, without a father or mother. He was picked up and raised by a retired soldier in his early years. He has no previous contact with Mu Nai's family."

Xie Run listened, but couldn't guess what the connection was between this hunter and Mu Nai's family.

"But there's a sharp-eyed boy following me. He noticed at a glance that this hunter bears some resemblance to the eldest son of Mu Nai's mother."

Xie Run was surprised but also a little bit unbelievable: "Nanny Mu's eldest son was born to a hunter?"

"More than that!" The person who spoke was a little excited: "That hunter looks strong and healthy, but he is actually a coward!"

"I had someone arrest him, and when they took out the token, he confessed everything."

"Nanny Mu's husband was a eunuch, and he was completely unable to conceive. But in order to conceal their tracks and to have a child to carry on the family line, Nanny Mu's husband and mother-in-law came up with the idea of borrowing sperm."

"Because the hunter had no parents and lived in the mountains all year round, his whereabouts were uncertain, he was favored by this family."
