Her true identity was that of the real daughter of the Jiang residence, who had been swapped at birth. Everyone said her good fortune had finally arrived; she had a powerful and influential father,...
Chapter 27 Who dares to question me?
"Although Sister Qingyue did something wrong, she is still your biological daughter. The most urgent thing now is to rescue Big Sister first, and let's put Sister Qingyue's mistakes aside for now."
"Big sister is protecting her like this. If she wakes up and finds out that something happened to Qingyue, big sister will probably be upset again."
After saying so much, Jiang Guiyu started coughing again.
Jiang Mingyang finally came back to his senses, "Sister Guiyu, why are you still speaking for her? A person with such a vicious mind will only bring shame to our Jiang family."
"Ahem, Mingyang, please be quiet. It was me who caused Qingyue to suffer. I know she resents me. Perhaps she attacked her elder sister just to attract our parents' attention and gain their care."
"I usurped her identity, so it's only natural that she hates me. I'm just a crippled being anyway, so even if I die, I'm willing to take the punishment for Sister Qingyue as long as it makes her happy."
Jiang Qingyue just found it funny.
What a high-sounding speech.
If she hadn't already known that the Jiang family brought her back to marry her off, she would have believed these lies.
Seeing that Jiang Mingyang was the only one speaking for him, Jiang Guiyu started coughing again.
The first two coughs were fake, but the ones after that were real coughs, and you could tell that each cough involved the chest cavity.
However, it is easy to cure.
Jiang Guiyu's action really made the Jiang family heartbroken.
Jiang Mingyang was even more furious.
"You are my good sister, the young lady raised by our Jiang family. How can you be punished for such a dirty, lowly, and vicious person like her? This should be her retribution!"
Jiang Qingyue clenched her hands into fists under her sleeves.
She knew very well that she could not argue with these unreasonable people in the Jiang family. The only one who believed in her was her elder sister. As long as her elder sister woke up, someone would support her and clear her name.
She clenched her fists under her sleeves, with a hint of coldness on the corners of her mouth.
"Then send me back to the Northern Frontier."
This lifeless sentence calmed everyone in the Jiang family down.
Send her back to Northern Xinjiang and let Jiang Guiyu marry her in her place?
As expected, Madam Jiang immediately changed her tone, "Master, although Qingyue did something wrong, she is still the daughter of our Jiang family. Let her return to Qingfeng Garden first and let her reflect on her mistakes. We can investigate Wanyin's affairs later."
"If we don't investigate now, who knows how much trouble it will cause later. And you even dare to ask to return to Northern Frontier. That's sheer treason."
After saying that, Jiang Shouye waved his hand and said, "Come here, give her thirty strokes of the cane and lock her up in the woodshed until she reflects on her mistakes."
Suddenly, several servants held Jiang Qingyue down.
She wanted to explain herself, but when she looked up, Jiang Guiyu started coughing again.
In an instant, all the people in the Jiang family gathered around Jiang Guiyu.
No one pays any attention to her anymore.
That's ridiculous.
By the time Jiang Qingyue reacted, she had already been pressed down on the bench by two old women.
She understood that he came prepared.
Once, twice...
She said nothing, her endurance was truly amazing.
Jiang Shouye snorted coldly, "I want to see how long you can endure."
Seven, eight, nine...
Jiang Qingyue still didn't shout out a word.
Mother Wang, who was standing behind the lady, looked so proud.
This little bitch caused her to be beaten into a pig's head and fined three months' salary. She has been holding a grudge against her until today, and finally she has taken revenge.
She gave the servants a wink, and immediately, these people exerted all the strength they had been holding back, and soon blood appeared on Jiang Qingyue's clothes.
After these thirty beatings, it will be determined whether Jiang Qingyue is still alive.
The Jiang family can only have one second daughter, and that is Jiang Guiyu, who was raised by her.
Only with Jiang Guiyu around, she, a servant, has a status in the Jiang family.
Jiang Qingyue, you must die today!
The bird, whose mouth had been covered and unable to make any sound, was about to cry to death.
Her young lady clearly did nothing and it was impossible for her to harm the eldest daughter.
The young lady has suffered so much in the northern border for so many years, how can her body withstand all this?
You can’t hit her anymore, or her daughter will die!
In a trance, Jiang Qingyue felt as if she had returned to the northern border, where the yamen runners' whips kept coming down on her. If she could withstand it, she would survive.
If she can't make it, she'll die.
No, she can't die.
The eldest sister still needs her, and she has not yet found out the cause of her senior sister's death.
Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen...
Jiang Mingyang's expression became more and more ugly. Was Jiang Qingyue mute? Would a plea for mercy cost her life?
Mrs. Jiang looked away reluctantly, "Master, that's enough. If he's beaten to death, we won't be able to explain ourselves to the authorities there."
Jiang Shouye cursed in a deep voice: "You can survive in a place like Northern Xinjiang where people are eaten alive, but you can't fight a few times at home?"
"She's a bitch, but now she's talking about integrity. I want to see how stubborn she is."
His tone was contemptuous and indifferent, as if the punishment was just for an unrelated servant.
At this time, a servant came running over, but before he could pass on the message, Jiang Shouye had already seen the person striding towards him from behind.
"Thank you, Prince."
Jiang Guiyu's coughing stopped abruptly, and he stared at Xie Lingyun with curiosity.
Although the two families are somewhat related, they are already three generations apart. The Xie family comes from a military background and has made great military achievements. Xie Lingyun was a young general at a young age and stayed in the army all the time and rarely returned to Beijing.
When he came back occasionally, she, a woman who always stayed in the boudoir, could never see him.
The man in front of me had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked very heroic. He was so handsome that it was impossible to take your eyes off him.
Mrs. Jiang had just been left out in the cold at the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, but when she saw him coming today, she immediately put on a good face.
"World……"
He had just said one word when Xie Lingyun frowned and looked at Jiang Qingyue who was being beaten.
"Please don't beat my dear daughter to death."
Jiang Shouye immediately ordered his men to stop, and then looked at Xie Lingyun's expression, only to see that he was staring at Jiang Qingyue with a dark and unclear look.
The Jiang family members looked at each other, not understanding why Xie Lingyun came uninvited.
It was Xie Lingyun who helped bring Jiang Qingyue back to the capital. From what he said just now, could it be that he had recognized Jiang Qingyue?
"Qingyue made some mistakes and refused to obey, so I gave her a small punishment."
Jiang Shouye hurried to explain because he was afraid that people would misunderstand that he couldn't bear to stay at home with his newly adopted daughter.
Because he was so anxious, he didn't even realize the guilt in his words.
Xie Lingyun pursed his lips and said nothing, but the temperature in his eyes grew colder and colder.
No one knew that he came here just for Jiang Qingyue. If Jiang Qingyue died, who would treat his mother's illness?
"It's my bad luck that I came here."
Xie Lingyun glanced coldly at Jiang Wanyin's boudoir and said, "I heard that Miss Jiang was seriously ill, so the Imperial Concubine asked me to bring the imperial physician to see her."
"After all, she is the daughter-in-law who will soon marry into the family. Miss Jiang cannot afford to make any mistakes."
After saying that, he glanced sideways at Doctor Qian beside him. Doctor Qian nodded and went in.
broken!
Mother Wang's face suddenly changed. She subconsciously glanced at Jiang Guiyu, but saw that she was only covering her lips with a handkerchief, like an outsider.
She gritted her teeth and had to remind the lady in a low voice.
"Madam, is that man really the imperial physician? But he's not even wearing the official uniform of the Imperial Hospital."
"Lord Jiang is so powerful that even his servants can question what I say. Do I need to go to the Imperial Concubine's Palace and confront her in person?"
