Chapter 187 Famous in the Circle of Ladies and Young Ladies

Chu Yian turned around and left after he finished speaking, but just as he reached the gate, Yang Youyi knelt down again.

Like a desperate person walking in the desert, unable to find a way out, she said tearfully, "Madam San Shao, I believe the Duke's Mansion didn't do anything. I, I just want to ask Madam San Shao for a favor."

"My son's limbs are broken. He will be a disabled person and unable to do anything in the future."

"If I go to Mingfengzhou again, I'm afraid I'll die on the way."

"I don't ask for anything, I just ask Madam San Shao to spare his life. Please, Madam San Shao, spare his life and let him stay in Shengjing..."

"Leaving now will really cost him his life. I beg Madam Third Young Master to be magnanimous and spare him this time... just this once..."

Chu Yian stopped.

Yang Youyi seemed to see hope and kowtowed again: "Please."

Chu Yian turned around, his eyes still cold, looking down at her condescendingly: "I just want to ask you one question, when your precious son was beating up his wives and concubines, did you ever come out to stop him?"

Yang Youyi's body trembled slightly, and his hands clenched unconsciously: "I stopped it, but, he, he has such a temper..."

"You're lying." Chu Yian interrupted her, his voice more stern than ever before: "You're going to brush off all your mistakes just because I'm like that. Then can I just kill your son just because I say I'm a murderer by nature?"

Yang Youyi crouched even lower, unable to utter a word in his defense.

Whatever he said at this time would only arouse Chu Yian's anger, and he could only pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy.

Chu Yian exhaled, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his tone: "If you really know that he is wrong, you should stop him severely when he does something wrong, and try your best to correct him instead of just indulging him."

"You, and your entire Jiang family, has anyone come out to stop it?"

"Even if there was, it would just be a few harmless scoldings. Do you think that would be helpful?"

"You treat Jiang Zhijie like a treasure, and think it's a blessing for those concubines to be able to let him vent his anger."

"Now that you've entered the Jiang family, you have the final say on what to do."

"Jiang Zhijie doesn't take their lives seriously, doesn't treat them as human beings, so he should consider that his life is worthless in the eyes of others."

Yang Youyi still didn't dare to speak, but just kept crying.

Chu Yian couldn't see her expression, but she knew very well what those people who regarded her son as their ancestor were thinking.

Does she really think her son is wrong?

not necessarily.

But she knew that if she made her angry again, it would only make Jiang Zhijie's situation worse.

This is what made Chu Yian feel a little powerless: "You are also a woman, but you can't stand in the perspective of those women and think about them, even if it's just a little bit."

"Spoiling a child is like killing him. Mrs. Jiang was born into a wealthy family, so don't you understand this truth?"

Chu Yian turned around and left, but stopped just as he stepped into the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

She turned her head and looked at Yang Youyi who was kneeling on the ground, with complicated feelings.

The Jiang family’s current situation was not caused by just one person, but with so many people in the Jiang family, they only pushed her out.

From this we can actually see that Jiang Zhijie has probably been abandoned by the Jiang family.

Now she was asked to come over, firstly because she was the only mother willing to run around for Jiang Zhijie, and secondly, she wanted to test the attitude of the Duke's Mansion.

The Qin family is in a period of great importance. Duke Qin and Qin Sheng are about to go on an expedition. No one with good sense would rush to offend the Qin family at this time.

People's hearts are biased, and those at the center of power will be even more biased after weighing the pros and cons.

Even if she did go too far in this matter, the emperor would not say anything at this juncture, and the Jiang family was not worth his words.

The corners of Chu Yian's lips suddenly rose: "Mrs. Jiang, I can promise you that your son will stay in the capital to recuperate and leave after he recovers."

Yang Youyi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head.

She thought the situation was hopeless, but it suddenly took a turn for the better. Her eyes suddenly gleamed with light: "Thank you, Madam Third Young Master, thank you, Madam Third Young Master."

Chu Yian interrupted her: "No need to thank me, I only have one request. If Madam Jiang does as I say, I will help you deal with this."

Yang Youyi crawled forward a few steps on his knees and said hurriedly, "Go ahead, just say it."

Chu Yian didn't beat around the bush: "Those wives and concubines in your son's backyard who didn't enter the Jiang family voluntarily, let them leave."

Yang Youyi was stunned. She never expected Chu Yian to make this request.

Jiang Zhijie is a person of bad character. He eats, drinks, gambles and has sex with women. He also beats people at every turn. How could anyone really want to marry him?

Most of those people were forced to come by him, or were sent here by others.

There are still many people in the backyard, but several of them have died under Jiang Zhijie's fists.

After knowing this, no woman was willing to marry Jiang Zhijie.

The Jiang family is now in decline. If anyone knew they could leave, would they still stay?

Let all those people go...

Yang Youyi frowned and spoke in a much softer voice: "Third, Third Young Master Madam, they won't be able to survive without the Jiang family. Please leave them a way out."

The smile on Chu Yian's lips faded: "This is not something that Mrs. Jiang should worry about. I will solve their livelihood problems for them. You just need to answer whether I agree or not."

Looking up at Chu Yian's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Yang Youyi trembled.

In her heart, she naturally didn't want to let those people leave, but even if they left, not all of them could leave.

Jiang Zhijie will need someone to take care of him and vent his anger in the future. If they all leave...

But looking at the coldness in Chu Yian's eyes, she knew that if she didn't agree today, Chu Yian would not let it go.

No one has ever taken Chu Yian seriously. Even though she was lucky enough to marry into a wealthy family, the fact that she came from a humble background could not be changed.

But she was respected everywhere in the Qin family. The servants protected her, and the masters of the Duke's Mansion also protected her.

If the Qin family didn't take her seriously, Chu Yian would be nothing but a joke. Even if she entered the Qin family, those young ladies and gentlemen from aristocratic families wouldn't even look at her.

The Qin family looked up to her, and as a result, everyone else had to look up to her.

Even if you don't consider Chu Yian's face, you have to consider the face of Duke Qin's Mansion.

It was already humiliating to be so humble in front of the junior Chu Yian today, but now he was forced to take another step back.

But what else can we do if we don’t retreat?

Yang Youyi didn't say anything. He lowered his head silently and said in a trembling voice, "I... promise you."

Chu Yian smiled, and his eyes softened: "Since Mrs. Jiang has agreed, then let's get this done as soon as possible, and don't force those innocent women to have no way to live."

"We will all live together in Shengjing in the future, and Mrs. Jiang will need your continued care."

"You are the elder after all. It is not appropriate to kneel like this. You'd better stand up."

"Yi An will not disturb Madam Jiang's busy work. I will take my leave now."

After Chu Yian finished speaking, he turned around and walked straight into the Duke's Mansion without saying another word.

But her words sounded nice, how could Yang Youyi not hear the threat in them?

We all live together in Shengjing, so it would be easy for me to kill your son.

If she sends that group of women away and then finds another group to let Jiang Zhijie vent his anger on her, don't blame her for being cruel and merciless.

Looking at the receding figure, Yang Youyi felt as if a breath was stuck in her chest, unable to move up or down, and her tears flowed even more violently.

She didn't know what she had done wrong to have a son like Jiang Zhijie who only knew how to cause trouble.

She had never enjoyed the mother-son love like others before, and now that she is old, she has to kneel down to a young girl like Chu Yian for him, and beg for mercy like this.

But Jiang Zhijie is her son, and her eldest son is a good-for-nothing. If Jiang Zhijie dies again, who can she rely on in the future?

The more Yang Youyi thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He could only bend over and leave the Duke's Mansion step by step. His back looked much older.

Although not many people saw this scene today, that's how the capital is. Any little movement will easily spread like wildfire.

When Chu Yian was completely unaware, this matter spread inexplicably and reached the ears of many young ladies and ladies.

They had no sympathy for the Jiang family's fate, and they were also very upset by Jiang Zhijie's frequent beatings and kicks of his wives and concubines.

Even though they couldn't stand it, they wouldn't really get involved in other people's affairs.

Now, Chu Yian suddenly stood up and messed up the Jiang family, and helped Jiang Zhijie's group of poor wives and concubines escape from his clutches, making them more curious about Chu Yian, the new bride of the Duke's Mansion who has never appeared in public.

Apart from some young ladies who were controlled by their families and could not do what they wanted, many people wanted to make friends with Chu Yian.

Of course, the reason I wanted to make friends with her was not just because of this. The more important reason was that I received instructions from my family.

The Qin family is now valued again, and after this battle is over, it will surely be at its peak.

The female members of the family wanted to make friends with the Qin family but didn't want to disturb the Duke's wife, so they naturally turned their attention to Chu Yian.

Especially those young ladies, Chu Yian is of similar age to them and their status is not much different.

Multiple factors combined made them eager to make friends with Chu Yian.

It’s just that Qin Sheng is about to go to war, and the Qin family has a lot of things to do, so it’s not convenient to disturb him too much at this time.

After Duke Qin and General Qin left, they would definitely send various invitations to the general's wife who only existed in legend.
