Chapter 548 Spoiled and Willful Wife VS Cowardly and Fearful Husband 40

Jiang Zhiyi never expected that he would have such a misunderstanding because of this.

She looked up, feeling both angry and annoyed, and decided to slap him.

"Junyu, how could you say such nonsense! I'm with you every day, where would I find another man?"

Junyu turned his head to the side after being hit, and seeing her like this, his suspicions not only did not lessen, but became even stronger.

He had seen her when she was wronged, either crying in dissatisfaction or making a coquettish defense, but never as intensely as now.

In his view, this was not anger at being wronged, but rather a cover-up for being hit where it hurt.

"Not betrayal? Then tell me, why can't we keep this child?" Jun Yu took a step forward, his tall figure casting a shadow that completely enveloped Jiang Zhiyi. "Tell me, as long as you can give me a reason that I can believe, I will believe you."

Jiang Zhiyi opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

She bit her lower lip. "There's no reason."

"Fine! What a fine excuse of 'no reason'!" Junyu laughed in exasperation. "Since you refuse to tell me, I'll take that as an admission."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, as if he didn't want to look at her again.

Jiang Zhiyi felt bad as she watched his disappointed back.

She tried to reach out and grab him, but her legs felt like lead, and she couldn't move them at all.

Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open.

A servant boy, covered in sweat, stumbled in, his face pale, his lips trembling, unable to even speak coherently.

"Young...Young Master! Something terrible has happened!"

Jun Yu stopped and looked at the servant. "What's the panic? What happened?"

"A messenger from home...the Jun family...the Jun family has been accused of treason!" The servant gasped for breath, his voice trembling with tears. "The First Prince, Pei Chengze, has already led his men to arrest everyone in the manor and imprison them! Even the Old Madam and the Master were not spared! The messenger said that the men who are to arrest you and Madam...are already on their way, and you must find a way to escape immediately! It will be too late if you delay!"

"What?" Jun Yu frowned, full of surprise. "Say it again, how could the Jun family be suspected of treason?"

Your family has been in business for generations and has never been involved in politics. They are all loyal and virtuous people. How could they possibly collude with the enemy?

This must be a setup by someone!

The servant, slightly out of breath, continued, "It's...it's true! The messenger was the old steward of the manor. He sneaked out, and he's injured! The evidence is all in Pei Chengce's hands now, and everyone in the court knows that the Jun family is treasonous. The Emperor has already issued an edict to execute the entire Jun family! Young master, you must escape quickly, or it will be too late!"

Jiang Zhiyi stood there, her face also filled with shock.

There must be something fishy about this.

Moreover, the Jun family and the Jiang family have just formed a marriage alliance, so if the Jun family gets into trouble, the Jiang family will naturally be affected.

It's even possible that this whole affair is aimed at the Jiang family, but they're just using the Jun family as a front.

Junyu remained motionless, pondering the next steps.

Now is not the time to dwell on other matters; they must all flee for their lives as quickly as possible.

But all land under heaven belongs to the emperor; even if they can escape for a while, they can't escape forever...

"Have someone pack up first..." Jun Yu forced himself to calm down and ordered people to pack up some valuables immediately.

After giving his instructions, he walked over to Jiang Zhiyi.

“Let’s leave here first, and we can figure out the rest on the way. I’ll write you a letter of divorce now. If you can’t escape, take the letter of divorce back to the Minister’s mansion and go to your father and brothers.”
