Emperor Yong's face showed no emotion. He looked at Jiang Jinyi again:

"You are an official from the Ministry of Justice. Do you have the same opinion on this case as your brother?"

Jiang Jinyi's Adam's apple trembled, and then he knelt beside Jiang Jinyan without hesitation, "Your Majesty, I also believe in my eldest sister. She would never do such a vicious thing!"

Jiang Xiancao sneered.

"Father, you've seen it too. Although the Jiang family's sons promised me to thoroughly investigate this case, they couldn't even treat both parties fairly. They blatantly favored Miss Jiang in front of you."

She said slowly, "How can I trust such biased people to investigate the case?"

Emperor Yong's face was grim, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes when he looked at the Jiang brothers.

Especially Jiang Jinyan, the third place winner in the imperial examination whom he had personally selected. Back then, when he was in front of the emperor, he valued Jiang Jinyan's cultivation and demeanor as a young man from a noble family, and admired his talent in poetry and literature. That's why he made an exception and sent such a young man who had just entered the official career to be a lecturer in the Eastern Palace. He also hoped that his crown prince would have more wise men to assist him.

It turned out that the talented and wise men he admired were so foolish in family affairs.

Moreover, the other party favored an adopted daughter who had no blood relationship with him, and was so harsh and ruthless to his own sister. This made him, who valued blood ties, very uncomfortable.

I even started to wonder if he had hired the wrong person.

Jiang Xiancao stood silently by the side. Just by looking at Emperor Yong's expression, she could guess what he was thinking.

This was exactly what she wanted.

What she wanted was not only to reveal the truth about the drowning case, but also to make the emperor look down on the Jiang brothers because of this incident.

From the moment her five brothers disregarded her life for Jiang Huaizhu, she no longer just wanted to take revenge on Jiang Huaizhu, but on all of them!

But at this moment, standing beside Emperor Yong, Prince Zhan Chen Yubai, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke:

"Since Xiao Jiuer doesn't trust the people in the Wen Ning Marquis' Mansion, how about letting the emperor's uncle investigate this case for you?"
