Jiang Zhaorong listened to Jiang Zhiyu's inner thoughts, and his heart, which had softened a little, hardened again in an instant.

Well, I guess I’m the only one who cares about the so-called brotherly love. In the eyes of his brother and mother, I’m just a sucker. A few nice words can coax me into going through fire and water for them!

He closed his eyes and reviewed the past. The more he recalled, the more he felt that he was worthless.

If Zhiyu hadn't pointed it out to me, I would probably still be kept in the dark and become a stepping stone in their lives!

They are brothers from the same mother, why would their mother be so partial to them?!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He kicked Jiang Jianjin away and said, "I've treated you with kindness and justice over the years! If we weren't related by blood, why would I have brought you to the Dali Temple? I would have killed you in my own mansion long ago!"

Frightened by the murderous intent in his tone, Jiang Jianjin dared not speak for a long time. Brother Heng and Gao were already frightened by Song Shiwei's miserable condition, and now they trembled all over when they heard Jiang Zhaorong's scolding, and dared not make a sound.

Shi An hesitated between them, with something in mind.

After being beaten with fifty sticks, Song Shiwei's body was covered in blood, and blood dripped onto the ground along the wooden boards. As soon as he stopped, Shi An asked the doctor next to him to treat him.

Because the guards showed mercy, Song Shiwei was able to survive even though he was barely breathing. But it was different for Yun Shu. He was hit hard by one board after another, and he died after being hit more than a dozen times.

Even if she died, she was still a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Jiang Zhaorong looked at the lifeless person on the ground with disgust and said directly, "You instigated the master, you deserve to die! Throw her into the mass grave."

Two guards carried her out, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground. Song Shiwei lay on the ground, watching this, and her hatred for the Jiang family deepened a little.

With Yun Shu's death, she no longer had anyone useful in the Jiang family. Xu Youran's spies were everywhere in the courtyard. Even if she wanted the Sixth Prince to recruit someone for her, she still had to get Xu Youran's approval...

Song Shiwei endured the pain and breathed softly. Jiang Zhaorong's change was so sudden. It must be that Jiang Zhiyu told him what he had heard before, and he became suspicious. The most urgent thing was that he had to dispel Jiang Zhaorong's suspicion and not act rashly again.

After watching the execution, the Shangshu's wife didn't rush to get up and leave. Instead, she stared at Song Shiwei and said, "Prime Minister Jiang, at the flower viewing banquet today, your wife mentioned that Miss Song and Jiawen are of similar age and she was interested in bringing them together. What do you think?"

Song Shiwei, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised his head.

Is she crazy? She's still bringing this up after all this?

Jiang Zhaorong was equivocal: "My wife decides the marriages of my children. I don't interfere."

The Shangshu's wife didn't want an answer right away. She smiled faintly and said, "I see. Then I'll visit you another day. I still have matters to attend to in the mansion, so I'll leave now."

After she finished speaking, she walked out the door and glanced at Song Shiwei coldly when she passed by.

[She's really scheming. Her son's reputation is ruined now, and the ladies of respectable families will definitely look down on them. Marrying Song Shiwei would, on the one hand, allow her to become in-laws with the Prime Minister, but on the other hand, she probably hasn't gotten enough revenge. If Song Shiwei marries, her husband won't be happy and won't speak up for her. And her father can't reach into the inner courtyard of the mansion.]

[In this case, Song Shiwei will have no choice but to let her do whatever she wants.]

Jiang Zhaorong nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This was exactly the truth.

That's great. He originally thought that his youngest daughter was too straightforward and didn't know how to beat around the bush. He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to compete with those women after she got married. Now he can rest assured.

He looked at Jiang Zhiyu, who was now as tall as his waist, and sighed with melancholy.

He had indeed neglected them too much. He could no longer remember the last time he held a baby fish.

[However, the Shangshu's wife may not be able to outsmart Song Shiwei.]

Jiang Zhaorong: ???

[Song Shiwei is a woman who thrives in the palace. As for the Shangshu's wife, who knows, she might be defeated by Song Shiwei in just a few days, and the Shangshu Mansion might become her helper. This is unacceptable.]

Jiang Zhaorong, who was standing by, was shocked.

Huh? His daughter is so powerful? She's so comfortable in the palace? That's not right. Hadn't he only brought her into the palace twice?

Is the fry wrong?

When he was questioning the accuracy of his thoughts, the servant who escorted Yue Lian finally arrived late.

Two servants held down the woman, whose hair was disheveled and had small dead branches mixed in it, and made her kneel in the middle of the hall.

"Your Excellency, this woman escaped several times while we were here, which is why we were delayed for so long."

[Nonsense! It was clearly Yuelian who deliberately seduced you into letting her go, and you were tempted by her beauty and took advantage of her!]

Jiang Zhaorong took a deep breath and forced himself not to think about how the prime minister's mansion had been ruined by his mother.

His eyes were cold. They were still hanging around knowing that something big was going to happen, and they even made up lies to deceive their master. These two people must not be allowed to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Everything that happened next went very smoothly. Yue Lian was terrified when she saw the bloodstains on the ground. Shi An threatened her a few times, and she was even more frightened. She told the whole story like pouring beans.

"After several years of marriage, the wife has not been pregnant. Seeing the second master bringing in his daughters one by one, the wife couldn't help but feel panic. After the news of the fourth wife's pregnancy came out, the wife began to have evil thoughts."

"Nonsense! Who told you to harm me, you bitch?!"

Gao pushed Heng Ge away and pounced on Yue Lian with her teeth bared, but was stopped in time by the guards.

Yue Lian turned sideways, her voice trembling, "My Lord, please understand. Everything I said is true."

"Gao, you must not be rude in court. If you do that again, don't blame me for executing you."

Shi An gave her a warning look, then looked at Yue Lian: "Go on."

"Yes, sir. Madam asked me to find a gardener in the mansion. When the two of them were having an affair, I stood guard outside the door. That day, the Second Master went to bed early, and I happened to have an unbearable stomachache. I only stepped away for a moment, and he caught me in the act."

"The Second Master was so angry that he wanted to report her to the police. When his wife rushed to stop him, he pushed her to the ground and she started bleeding. Only then did they know that she was pregnant. The court doctor had to work very hard to save her."

Jiang Jianjin's face turned dark blue.

He had tried so many men, but none of them got pregnant. Then his wife got pregnant after having an affair with the gardener...

Everyone looked at Jiang Jianjin with strange eyes.

His masculinity was questioned, and Jiang Jianjin stared at Yue Lian, panting like an angry lion. Two guards rushed to pin him to the ground.

"Where is this gardener?"

"After the house was handed over, many servants were dismissed. I don't even know where the gardener went."

[He has a cousin in the General's Mansion! He went to live with his cousin!]

Jiang Zhaorong: “…”

This is a difficult situation. If it were anywhere else, it would be fine, but it has to be the General's Mansion...

The matter had roughly come to a conclusion. Shi An took the file and called Jiang Zhaorong aside and whispered, "Prime Minister Jiang, if we follow the law, I'm afraid these people will not be able to be saved. Are you sure?"
