I was killed by domestic violence, and I went crazy with barrage

Chapter 318 Testing
"Our Dajing Dynasty has been in existence for hundreds of years, and we have almost encountered catastrophic disasters and dynasties have changed several times."

"Among them, the Imperial Master's Mansion stepped in and used the power of the gods to turn the tide and preserve the Zhao family's wealth."

"Therefore, the status of the Imperial Master's Mansion in our Great Jing Dynasty cannot be shaken by anyone."

"And the people in the Imperial Master's Mansion never get involved in worldly disputes. Once the crisis subsides, they will continue to stay away from the world."

"Every emperor of the Dajing Dynasty promised one of the requests of the Imperial Master's Mansion in order to express gratitude for its assistance."

Wang Shang stopped and looked at Jiang Anning.

Jiang Anning frowned: "What request?"

After hearing the question, Wang Shang continued speaking.

"Every hundred years, the Imperial Master's Mansion can select one person from the aristocratic families in Dajing that have been passed down for more than a hundred years to serve as the Spirit Servant."

"The Sang family is one of the selected spirit servants."

"All the Spirit Servant Clan members selected by the Imperial Master's Mansion can practice the secret techniques passed down by the Imperial Master's Mansion."

"And your mother, as a rare gifted person in the Sang family, is the one who has the best grasp of the secret techniques of the Imperial Master's Mansion in the entire Sang family."

Wang Shang smiled and said, "Of course, these are all said by those people from the Sang family. I don't know how much of it is true or false."

"But your mother is definitely not an ordinary woman."

"The secret techniques she learned from the Imperial Master's Mansion are enough to allow her to kill people without them even noticing."

Jiang An Ning narrowed her eyes and said, "You said that it was my mother who killed the extremely favored Concubine Jiang and the two heirs?"

"Yes."

"Are those two heirs born to Concubine Jiang?"

"Exactly."

"Are these two heirs of the throne very favored by His Majesty?"

"nature!"

Wang Shang's answer seemed honest, without hiding anything.

"The two heirs born to Concubine Jiang are twins, a boy and a girl."

"It is considered auspicious as soon as it is born."

"The emperor has issued an order for a general amnesty, and the whole world is celebrating."

"Of course I love her very much."

Jiang Anning said calmly, "What about Concubine Jiang's mother's family? Are they also very happy?"

"It's natural!"

"After all, no matter how much favor one has, it is still not as good as having a prince who is qualified to inherit the throne."

"Empress Jiang gave birth to a dragon and a phoenix, so her mother's family, the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion, is naturally overjoyed."

Jiang An Ning's eyes became sharp: "Jiang An Marquis Mansion?"

"Yes, you heard it right, it is the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion."

Wang Shang smiled and said, "The emperor ordered you to come to the capital to make wedding clothes for the Marquis of Jiang'an."

"You may not know that the original head of your village, Jiang Wei, was from the Marquis of Jiang'an's mansion."

"The young master of the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion who was granted marriage by the imperial decree this time is exactly him."

Jiang Anning's eyes were slightly cold: "So, it was Jiang Wei who secretly helped me come to the capital to be the embroiderer appointed by the imperial decree to sew the auspicious clothes?"

"I don't know that."

Wang Shang smiled and said ambiguously, "However, Jiang Wei has always wanted to find clues from you about why your mother killed Concubine Jiang and the two heirs. But now he has been recalled by an imperial decree to marry. He has to give up following you and return to the capital to marry Princess Shao'an, whose name is still unknown."

"Jiang Wei has been dormant in Jiang'an County for so long. Now he has been called back to the capital. How can he be willing to do this?"

"Of course, I don't know whether he secretly did something to bring you to the capital because he was unwilling to accept it."

Jiang An Ning smiled and said, "Jiang Anhou Mansion must be very prestigious in the capital."

"Especially when Concubine Jiang is in great favor, I think no one in the capital would be willing to offend this powerful noble, right?"

Wang Shang thought for a few breaths and smiled: "Of course."

“Is your status still the same now?”

Jiang Anning asked.

Wang Shang hesitated.

Jiang An Ning smiled and said, "It seems that since the death of Concubine Jiang, the status of Marquis Jiang's Mansion has not only plummeted, but it must also be much worse than before."

Wang Shang said nothing.

Jiang Anning became even more certain.

"So, the person who summoned my mother to the capital and ordered her to kill Concubine Jiang and the two heirs must be the emperor you mentioned."

"Or is it your lord?"

Wang Shang widened his eyes in surprise.

"Mrs. Jiang Xiu, it's better not to say anything without any evidence."

He seemed to be giving a warning, but he really had no confidence.

"No evidence?"

"Not necessarily."

Jiang An Ning sneered: "You just said that Concubine Jiang is extremely favored, and even the status of the Jiang An Marquisate has risen accordingly."

"But if it was really a great favor, how could I not be angry when my beloved and a pair of dragons and phoenixes were tragically killed?"

"When the emperor gets angry, millions of people die."

"How can you vent your anger with just nine clans?"

"But the emperor not only became as lenient as you said, but also spared me even without killing my mother's entire clan."

"It also caused the status of Jiang Anhou Mansion, the mother's family of Concubine Jiang, to plummet in the capital."

"Such an obvious direction of interests, doesn't it just prove that the one who ordered my mother to kill people was the emperor?"

"Otherwise, if you really love someone, how could you possibly let go of the nine clans of the murderer who killed her?"

"The only explanation is that, as a vested interest, the emperor never truly loved Concubine Jiang. Instead, he took advantage of Concubine Jiang's death to punish Concubine Jiang's mother's family, the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion."

"It seems that what I said at the beginning was not wrong."

"My mother is just a pawn."

"It is to help you, the people who deceive the world and steal fame, become scapegoats!"

Wang Shang was speechless.

After a long while, he said in a hoarse and helpless voice: "Mrs. Jiang Xiu, sometimes you really don't need to be too smart."

Jiang Anning didn't respond: "What about you?"

She looked at Wang Shang: "Jiang Wei came here to find clues about my mother's murder of Concubine Jiang. What are you here for?"

"Kill me to silence me?"

"Or should I just prevent myself from finding any useful clues here?"

Wang Shang smiled and said, "I told you not to be too smart."

He looked at the man who was seeking answers with a determined look in his eyes, and his tone was helpless.

"A little bit of both."

He smiled bitterly and said, "I came here to kill you and silence you, but also to prevent Jiang Wei from finding any useful clues and causing trouble."

"The emperor is magnanimous and has not pursued charges against your mother's entire clan. He naturally hopes that this matter will end here and that no more innocent people will be harmed."

"Lest there be more murder."

Jiang Anning sneered.

"He is not afraid of his two children and the person beside him asking for his life in his dreams at midnight, so why would he be afraid of so many sins of killing?"

"Sir, please don't tell me such lies."

"I do not believe."

Wang Shang was helpless: "Okay." "But whether you believe it or not, this is the fact."

Jiang Anning chuckled twice and did not comment.

"I am indeed here to kill you."

Wang Shang poured himself another cup of tea: "Originally, I could have completed the mission quickly and returned to the capital."

"I arrived in Jiang'an County earlier than the people from Jiang'an Marquis Mansion."

"If I had killed you at that time, even if Jiang Wei came looking for me, it would have been of no use at all."

"pity……"

He softened his heart and did not do it.

Wang Shang laughed at himself: "As a killer, I have the most inappropriate feelings for a killer. I feel pity for you."

"But if I don't kill you, someone else will."

"When the time comes, not only will your life not be saved, but I will also die with you."

"For you, and for myself."

"I will use your mother's last words to advise the palace to save your life temporarily."

Jiang Anning pursed her lips tightly, knowing full well that she shouldn't believe any of the nonsense this man said.

But I still couldn't help asking: "My mother, what did you say?"

Wang Shang lightly lowered the corners of his mouth and drank tea to conceal the excitement in his heart.

He didn't expect that Jiang Anning was so cunning. Before he could use any of his tricks, he had already fallen into his trap.

"Your mother said that if you die before you are twenty-five, she will be resurrected."

Wang Shang pretended to be helpless and smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, we all thought that your mother had some tricks up her sleeve, and we were really trembling with fear for quite a few days."

"Later, nothing really happened, and I gradually felt relieved."

"It's just that the palace is worried that if they really kill you, your mother's last words will come true."

"So the palace quickly agreed to the plan I proposed at the time."

"I don't have to kill you again."

"No one else will come to kill you."

"And not only was I not punished for my dereliction of duty, but I was even more valued by my master, and was able to handle all matters related to you in Jiang'an County."

Wang Shang did not say what the plan he had submitted was. He just mentioned it lightly and went straight to the point.

"It is only today that I finally figured out what your mother's last words meant."

"So when she said 'if you die, she will live', she didn't mean that she, who was already dead, would come back to life."

“Or maybe that’s not right.”

As Wang Shang was talking, he started laughing.

He looked at Jiang Anning and his expression became serious.

"To be precise, if you die, your mother will come back to life through your body."

"And we have misunderstood her meaning all these years, thinking that she left these words before she died, in fact, to protect you."

"In fact, your mother would rather you die."

"Only if you die will she have a chance to live again."

Wang Shang looked at Jiang Anning with compassion: "This truth may be too cruel for you."

"But I'm really sorry, that's the truth."

Jiang Anning was stunned for a long time, looking at Wang Shang as if he was a fool.

"It's okay if you can't understand."

"It's normal if you can't accept it."

"The truth is often cruel."

"Perhaps the memories your mother left you are beautiful. Now that I have told you the truth, perhaps it has destroyed all the beautiful memories you have."

"It reveals the truth that your mother doesn't love you."

"I can understand the feeling in your heart."

"If it was me, the person I trusted with all my heart, the person I thought loved me very much, but in fact, she never loved me from the beginning to the end. Not only did she not love me, but she was full of deception everywhere, and even... wanted to deprive you of the right to live in exchange for her rebirth."

"I'd be miserable, too."

"I will be in agony."

"So I can understand you."

Wang Shang's voice was gentle, yet contained a hint of temptation.

Jiang Anning blinked.

It was like suddenly understanding what people were mumbling.

"You mean, my mother gave birth to me just to prevent her from being harmed by someone and losing her life one day, so that she can rely on me to be reborn."

"My mother gave birth to me just to use me as a vessel for rebirth."

Wang Shang almost couldn't help clapping his hands in approval.

But he had to hold it back and show a compassionate expression.

"I'm sorry to let you know such a cruel truth."

Jiang Anning laughed twice: "Do you also believe in rebirth in this world?"

"Do you think, sir, that people can start over again after they die?"

Wang Shang shook his head: "I don't know."

He looked at the man and said, "But for many things in this world, it is probably better to believe in them than to believe in them not."

"Even if the truth is cruel."

"But the secret techniques of the Imperial Master's Mansion are extremely profound, and your mother is one of the best at understanding them."

"perhaps--"

"Is there really some unknown secret technique that can bring the dead back to life and change one's fate?"

Jiang Anning rarely has the opportunity to discuss the topic of rebirth with others.

For the time being, she was too lazy to delve into the purpose of Wang Shang saying these words to her.

She asked: "Then do you think that if a person makes completely different decisions and walks a completely different path after rebirth, then the two different lives before and after rebirth still belong to the same person?"

"When rebirth happens, knowing that a certain decision will lead to a certain outcome, in order to survive, one changes the outcome... is this person still the same person as before?"

Wang Shang was stunned by the question.

What are these problems?
Why does it sound so confusing?

Could it be that this girl has been hit insane by the sudden truth?
Why are you starting to talk nonsense?

"It seems that even the adults can't answer it."

Jiang Anning smiled and didn't make things difficult for anyone.

It seems like he doesn't care about people's answers at all.

She refilled her cup of tea, took two sips and put it down.

"I think that if I were to be reborn one day, knowing that certain decisions would lead me to a certain ending, in order to avoid that ending, I might make a decision that is completely contrary to what I did before my rebirth."

"It's even possible that his temperament will change drastically because of this."

"The me after rebirth is both me and not me."

Jiang Anning smiled slightly, her eyebrows curved, and looked at Wang Shang: "Sir, do you think what I said is right?"

Wang Shang:......

I think you are crazy.

"Mrs. Jiang Xiu, you really have a brilliant idea."
