Look how arrogant she is! She dares to hurt someone right in front of her father...

Jiang Rou dared not speak; she was unsure what else this madman might do.

Downstairs, in the lobby.

Jiang Yang placed one foot on the ground and the other on a chair.

His arrogant laughter echoed from downstairs to upstairs, "Little beggar, if you crawl between my legs, I'll give you this piece of meat to eat."

Although it was Jiang Wei who arranged it, she felt really bad. She had probably experienced similar things many times over the past ten years.

Jiang Wei turned around and gave Aunt Liu a cold look.

"Lian Sang, drag that man out for me," Jiang Wei ordered.

"Yes!" Without saying a word, Lian Sang brought Steward Liu out and pinned him against the railing.

Lian Sang took the handle of the whip and struck Steward Liu on the head, saying, "Tell me, is it him?"

Manager Liu winced in pain, “Yes, yes, yes, it’s him. It was Aunt Liu who entrusted him to me back then.”

Jiang Wei turned her head and looked directly at Jiang Zaishui. "Father, please take Aunt Liu back first! Otherwise, it might cause trouble here and damage your official reputation."

Her words left no room for argument: "Chen Hui, please ask my father and Aunt Liu to go back first."

After saying that, she turned and went downstairs without looking back.

"Lian Sang, go down and beat that illegitimate son Jiang Yang to a pulp." Jiang Wei unleashed her full power.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu cried out, "Master, Yang'er is your only son!"

"What did you say?" Jiang Wei turned around.

Aunt Liu immediately fell silent, not daring to speak.

Downstairs, Jiang Yang waved a chicken leg in the air, saying, "Go ahead and crawl in. If you do, you'll get some meat. I don't have that much time to wait for you. Think it over carefully. If you miss out on this good guy, there won't be anyone else who's so kind to you and gives you meat."

Mingzhao was shivering, cold, and hungry, but he still wanted to leave. Jiang Yang wouldn't let him go and surrounded him again.

"Little beggar, you really know what's good for you. I've been kind enough to let you crawl between my legs to give me food, and you're not even grateful, making me lose face." Jiang Yang said, and was about to push Sang Mingzhao.

Lian Sang swung the whip around Jiang Yang's waist, pulling him backward and slamming him to the ground.

Jiang Yang had never suffered like this before, and he cried out in pain, rolling on the ground.

Aunt Liu followed behind Jiang Wei. When she saw Lian Sang throw her son to the ground, she pushed Jiang Wei aside and ran forward without thinking.

She picked up Jiang Yang and asked, "Yang'er, are you alright? Let me see where you're hurt. It must hurt a lot."

“He’s your brother! How could you be so heartless? He’s only ten years old, just a child!” Aunt Liu’s head was throbbing with anger as she pointed at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei smiled instead of getting angry; they really did have a deep mother-son bond.

“My brother! Since you know she is my brother, as her elder sister, am I not allowed to discipline him? What right do you, a mere concubine, have to yell at your master here?”

"Beat her! If Aunt Liu is to be punished along with her master, then Lian Sang, you should grant her wish." Jiang Wei's cold voice rang out.

Without saying a word, Lian Sang whipped them a few more times. Aunt Liu screamed and howled, and the screams in Zui Chun Lou were deafening.

Aunt Liu saw that Jiang Wei had no intention of stopping, and Jiang Zai Shui's face was extremely ugly.

"Master, save me! The young lady is trying to kill me!" Aunt Liu pleaded with Jiang Zaishui as she ate.

"Enough!" Jiang Zaishui snapped, but he was embarrassed as the audience in the hall and upstairs were all watching the show.

“Father, look at the weather outside, and then look at this child. His hair is yellow and grime-covered, and in the dead of winter, he is wearing a tattered spring shirt that looks like a rag. Most of his arms are exposed, and what is he wearing on his legs? They are all tattered and torn. And look at his shoes. Most of his heels are exposed, and his toes are not covered at all.”

Jiang Wei spoke with grief, but her gaze never left Jiang Zai Shui. "He is actually my own brother. Aunt Liu abandoned him on the estate to kill him. Look at what they are wearing! And that illegitimate son, how dare he bully him again?"

“Father really pities Aunt Liu. She has deceived you for half your life. Are you still going to help her now?” Jiang Wei stared coldly into Jiang Zai Shui’s eyes.

Aunt Liu was afraid that Jiang Zai Shui would really abandon her because of Jiang Wei's words. "Master, please let the eldest daughter spare Yang'er for the sake of me bearing your children. If the eldest daughter wants to hit someone, hit me instead!"

"Heh...only you? You're oversimplifying things." Jiang Wei ignored them completely.

He walked up to Mingzhao, draped the cloak over him, ordered a table full of dishes, and asked Mingzhao to sit down and eat.

“Aunt Liu, you have been scheming for money and murdering people all these years, and you almost caused my brother’s death. It is impossible for me to let you go. Here’s what we’ll do! I will send you to the Jingzhao Prefecture and let the Prefect decide everything.”

Jiang Wei served food to Ming Zhao.

"Master, save me! I don't understand what the eldest young lady is saying. Master, please save me! Does your word no longer carry any weight? The eldest young lady is in charge of the Jiang family now. Is she planning to control everything?" Aunt Liu didn't care whether Jiang Zaishui looked unwell or not.

She absolutely cannot go to the Jingzhao Prefecture; if she does, she's doomed.

She kept crying and screaming, and more and more people came to watch.

Jiang Zai Shui couldn't stand it anymore. He flung his sleeves and put his hands behind his back. "That's enough! We'll talk about it when we get back!"

It's rare for someone to be so embarrassed; how will he ever be able to hold his head high in front of his colleagues again?

Jiang Wei slowly stood up and walked step by step towards Jiang Zai Shui.

Her expression was inscrutable, but suddenly she smiled and said, "Father, are you going to side with Concubine Liu?"

Jiang Zai Shui's heart tightened; his daughter was becoming more and more frightening.

Aunt Liu pulled Jiang Yang up and walked behind Jiang Zaishui, hiding from Jiang Wei. "Young lady, in the Jiang family, it is ultimately the master who calls the shots."

"Huh? Father! Are you sure you want to side with Aunt Liu and the others? Even if she committed such a crime, you still want to help them?"

Jiang Zai Shui disliked Chen Xue Ning. Whenever he thought of those memories, they would appear in his mind, to the point that he didn't want to see Jiang Wei either, and now there was another one.

"How long are you going to keep making a scene? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Let's go back first," Jiang Zaishui said softly to Jiang Wei.

"What! Father wants to downplay this and make it nothing?" Jiang Wei said calmly. "Father, do you think I would agree to that?"

"You rebellious daughter, what do you want?" Jiang Zaishui shouted angrily.

Jiang Wei laughed angrily. Even now, in her father's eyes, she was the one who was defying the heavens.

"Oh! Father thinks his daughter is too filial and easy to talk to, and wants me to learn from Aunt Liu and the others? I'm really sorry to disappoint Father, I can't learn that."

Jiang Wei changed the subject, "If Father wants everyone to judge the matter, I can bring up some old stories."

Jiang Zai Shui wasn't sure how much Jiang Wei knew, and was still somewhat guilty and scared. "Now that everyone knows, what exactly do you want?"

"Simply put, we won't send Aunt Liu to the Jingzhao Prefecture; we can let Aunt Liu and the others go home."
