Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 265 - 257: When Ruan Mian rushed over, the government officer was about to punish the two villagers with the rod

Chapter 265: Chapter 257: When Ruan Mian rushed over, the government officer was about to punish the two villagers with the rod

Ruan Qing rushed to the military camp immediately, hoping General Huo would come up with a plan, while Yun Xiu went to find Ruan Mian to tell her the news.

Upon hearing the news, Xie Huai’an frowned slightly, "Mianmian, I’ll go find General Huo for this matter..."

"There’s no need to trouble General Huo, my lord, I already have a plan; we just need to wait patiently."

"You have a plan?"

Xie Huai’an looked puzzled, and only then did Ruan Mian reveal the poisoning of Princess Jiaceng.

She then returned to the village with Yun Xiu, and the villagers hurriedly came to her to pour out their grievances.

Two villagers from the transport line even had a conflict with the government officer at the checkpoint.

When Ruan Mian rushed over, the officer was already detaining the two villagers, ready to punish them with a beating.

"Lord," Ruan Mian stepped forward to say something nice, but the officer, seemingly expecting her, smiled and said.

"Finally, I’ve been waiting for Miss Ruan to come."

"Miss, may I have a word with you?"

Ruan Mian’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and she went aside with him. Though no one knew what her plan was, seeing her calm demeanor, the villagers also settled down a bit.

Meanwhile, the Commandery Princess, feeling guilty about the miscarriage, couldn’t sleep at night. Whenever she closed her eyes, countless nightmares entangled her.

The dead fetus locked souls with her in its fate, and the vengeful spirits of those she had killed hovered over her bed. Especially the younger sister, who had not appeared in her dreams for many years, appeared again.

Having witnessed her sister’s tragic death with her own eyes back then, and failing to uncover the truth over the years, the guilt became a thorn in her heart.

Thus, within two days, the Princess Jiaceng looked as if she were on the verge of death, causing great concern among the nanny and maidservants around her.

They wished to call the Governor to take a look, but were ruthlessly refused by Chen Bozong.

He even declared, "As for the Dancing Girl that cannot be brought back, even my only heir of Chen Family was harmed by this jealous woman! Only a divorce paper would suffice!! I have already rushed to announce this to my fief lands, and I shall see what account my father-in-law gives me!"

In his anger, saving face was the least he could do; she was fortunate he did not openly spite her!

Helpless, the Princess Jiaceng, dragging her sick body, sent the nanny to intervene.

"Make sure to invite Miss Ruan here!"

The nanny nodded repeatedly: "Madam, don’t worry. I’ve heard that Miss Ruan not only can foresee the future but also has excellent medical skills. She will surely make you feel better."

On the other side, upon hearing what the officer said, Ruan Mian laughed and said.

The officer led her aside and said, "Miss Ruan, this is just the plan outlined by the Governor as per the higher-ups. The Governor does not wish to trouble you."

"The Governor said if you wish to restore your business, you could personally go to him in the evening, perhaps he might grant you a special passage for your sake. Our lord is wholeheartedly devoted to you."

Ruan Mian sneered, "Mr. Chen appears elegant and righteous, but internally he is a lecher? As a Marquis Governor, he covets another man’s wife and abuses his power for personal gain, and he’s not afraid of becoming a laughingstock?"

The officer’s face changed rapidly and he immediately shouted, "Don’t speak nonsense!! The lord is giving you an opportunity, appreciating you is a blessing earned over several lives!"

"Don’t be ungrateful! I warn you, your entire village relies on external trade for livelihood. If you offend the Governor, none of you will escape unscathed!"

In his eyes, just a useless common woman daring to speak out.

"Such blessings might as well be given to you, Lord."

The officer was furious, drawing his sword abruptly. Yet, in the next moment, a whip struck fiercely from a certain direction!

Instantly lacerating the officer’s face!

Furious, the officer looked over to meet the cold gaze of the old nanny, recognizing her identity and becoming silent with fear, then respectfully saluting, "Nanny Li, why are you..."

Before finishing the sentence, Nanny Li had already turned and bowed to Ruan Mian, "Miss Ruan, the madam requests your presence."

As her voice faded, she didn’t forget to land a fierce kick on the officer, "Useless! Miss belongs to the madam, and you, a worthless creature, still dare to make a move?"

Seeing this, there was no need for Ruan Mian to intervene further; under Nanny Li’s authority, the captured villagers were all released.

Before leaving, she had a talk with her grandaunt.

"Aunt, it won’t be long before things return to normal. These days, you may go outside to help manage the store first. Later, go to the forest and find the tiger beast; I’ve released it there, and let our little White Tiger lead you out."

The grandaunt nodded, "Rest assured, outside is under my watch, nothing will go unchecked. Just don’t let Chen Bozong, that dog, off easily; make sure to teach him a lesson!"

"By the way, Mianmian, Princess Jiaceng coming to rely on you, that was part of your plan, wasn’t it?"

Ruan Mian smiled calmly, "Indeed, those poisonous powders I redeemed from the space can cause restlessness, fatigue, and hallucinations."

Seeing that Princess Jiaceng believed so much in spiritual matters, she naturally had to exploit that.

When she and Nanny Li arrived at the residence, they saw the Commandery Princess lying pallidly on the bed, her expression incredibly bleak.

However, Nanny Li had been cautious ever since she started with Ruan Mian, remaining cautiously vigilant.

Ruan Mian first treated her, prescribed some medicine for the maid to brew.

Then she spoke again.

"Madam has experienced miscarriage and bloodshed consecutively, haunted by resentment, making it hard to sleep at night. The medicine I’ve provided can only ease the physical pains, but as for the reality of dreams..."

Before she could finish, Nanny Li warned, "Miss Ruan, don’t think of resorting to trickery, my madam is the daughter of the dignified Prince Shuo, and anyone who deceives her won’t be let off lightly!"

Ruan Mian’s face remained calm, she merely smiled and said.

"I certainly understand the stakes involved, but with madam in such a condition, I cannot watch her suffer and do nothing."

"Lady Commandery, do you know what’s haunting you is not just a vengeful spirit but also a wronged soul?"

The Commandery Princess turned pale, seemingly realizing something, and suddenly grabbed Ruan Mian’s wrist bone, "Miss Ruan, say more on this!"

Ruan Mian stood, requested pen and paper, and wrote some instructions for Nanny Li to follow.

Once everything was ready, Ruan Mian lit a fierce fire in the center of the side chamber, the flickering flames illuminating Princess Jiaceng’s face.

She spoke some obscure and difficult-to-understand words, an atmosphere of silence surrounding them, the curtain outside the closed door moving slightly.

Everyone held their breath, waiting, and when Ruan Mian opened her eyes again, her expression suddenly changed as she eagerly knelt before the Commandery Princess, shouting grievances.

"Sister, save me..."

The word sister rendered the Commandery Princess motionless, her eyes wide open, fixated on Ruan Mian.

Ruan Mian continued with force, "Sister, that day brother-in-law lured me to the woodshed, drugged me to violate me, forced himself upon me. I firmly refused, so he pierced my body with the knife hilt, causing me an agonizing death!"
