Chapter 673 The Jiang Family Has Gone Too Far
Jiang Jinyan walked out of the Golden Palace, looking disheveled after being scolded. He walked up to Zhang Yumo and said, "Mo'er, I have some things to take care of. You stay in the palace and don't go anywhere. Trust me, I will handle it."
After saying this, Jiang Jinyan went out of the palace. Lu Tingwei stepped forward and said, "Minister Jiang, please don't be anxious. I suspect there's something fishy about this matter."
The Tenth Prince also chased after him, saying, "Lord Jiang, I will go with you to see what's going on. If anyone is deliberately causing trouble, the laws of the Great Zhou will not allow troublemakers to frame you. The Court of Justice will definitely investigate this matter and clear your name."
Jiang Jinyan nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness, Lord Lu."
Zhang Yurou also heard the Emperor scolding Jiang Jinyan. The Emperor must be disappointed in Jiang Fenghua too. In front of so many people, would the Emperor dare to protect Jiang Jinyan?
Will you find out the truth? Uncover the truth about how the Jiang family abducted Consort Han from the palace, and see how the Jiang family explains themselves.
If it is confirmed that Bai Yuhan is indeed the former Consort Han, and Jiang Jinyan's mistress is the emperor's concubine, then Jiang Jinyan and the Jiang family are doomed.
The Bai family is causing trouble outside. Someone saw Jiang Jinyan and Bai Yuhan together. The more she hides, the bigger the trouble will get. If Jiang Fenghua dares to protect her elder brother, she won't be able to keep her position as empress.
Looking at Zhang Yurou's gloomy eyes, Zhang Yumo suddenly felt fear and danger.
At this moment, Zhang Yumo suddenly ran towards Jiang Jinyan, calling out, "Jiang Jinyan."
Jiang Jinyan stopped when he heard her voice. "Mo'er, what's wrong?"
"With me by Mo'er's side, Lord Jiang can rest assured!" Zhang Yurou took her hand.
Jiang Jinyan said nothing and turned to walk out of the palace.
Seeing him leave, Zhang Yurou said softly, "Mo'er, if Jiang Jinyan dares to do something to wrong you, your cousin will stand up for you. The Jiang family has gone too far."
Zhang Yumo shook off her hand. Although Jiang Jinyan didn't like her, she believed that Jiang Jinyan wasn't that kind of person.
“Cousin, you deliberately took me to the teahouse that day, didn’t you? You already knew about Jiang Jinyan and Bai Yuhan’s relationship.” Zhang Yumo said to Zhang Yurou.
Zhang Yurou pulled Zhang Yumo aside and said, "Mo'er, what are you saying? How have I treated you since you were little? I've always treated you like my own sister. Whenever Zhang Yuyan and others bullied you, I was always the one who came to your rescue. Your uncle and aunt passed away early, and my parents always treated you like their own daughter. How can you think of me like this?"
"Shu Xue and the others saw it that day too. It was my cousin who called them over, right?" Zhang Yumo thought through the events. She wasn't stupid.
“Zhang Yumo, what’s wrong with you? How could I possibly know in advance that Jiang Jinyan and his mistress were going out, and just happen to have Shu Xue and the others keep watch in the teahouse? I’m not that resourceful. Besides, what good would it do me to do that?”
“Yes, I couldn’t understand what benefits my cousin could get.” She said, “Until the situation outside the capital got out of control, and until the Emperor scolded Jiang Jinyan and the Empress in the palace, I finally found out.”
"What do you know?" Zhang Yurou grabbed her arm. "Mo'er, don't talk nonsense. Jiang Jinyan is messing around with other women. He's wronged you."
“My cousin always liked the Fifth Prince, but she married the Fourth Prince instead. Jiang Fenghua married the Fifth Prince and became Empress. Are you jealous?” Zhang Yumo said.
A cold glint flashed in Zhang Yurou's eyes, then she put on a wronged expression. "Mo'er, how could you think of me like that? I'm already the Fourth Princess Consort. If these words of yours get out, you'll kill me! Those are things from when I was little. Empress Jiang and I are sisters-in-law, and you and I are even sisters. I never thought that you would think of me like this when I treated you like a younger sister."
At this moment, Jiang Fenghua stood at a distance watching the Zhang sisters arguing. Zhang Yumo was her elder brother's wife, and she did not want Zhang Yumo to do anything to hurt her elder brother.
Zhang Yumo had known about Bai Yuhan's existence for a long time, but instead of asking Jiang Jinyan directly, she conspired with Zhang Yurou to frame her older brother. Did she really want to separate from her older brother?
She slowly approached them, and Zhang Yurou took Zhang Yumo's hand to indicate that they were on the same side.
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about brother. I believe that someone must have framed him. Brother would never do anything to betray you."
Zhang Yumo said, "I believe him."
She glanced at Zhang Yurou. Her cousin was right. Her feelings for the emperor were all in the past. Bringing it up now was pointless. Her cousin was already the Fourth Prince's wife, and it was impossible for her to marry the emperor.
She said to Jiang Fenghua, "I want to go to the palace gate to take a look. I am his wife, and it would be more convincing if I came forward to deny this."
Jiang Fenghua asked, "What will you do if your brother really has another woman outside?"
Zhang Yumo said calmly, "I will grant them their wish. Jiang Jinyan and I were forced together in the first place. I know he has always had a girl he likes. I don't know if that person is Miss Bai, but whoever it is, I will grant her wish."
Jiang Fenghua finally understood that Zhang Yumo had always thought her older brother had someone he liked, but that person wasn't her.
Jiang Fenghua asked, "Did you discuss these decisions with Jiang Jinyan?"
Zhang Yumo was stunned. "I told him I would leave the Jiang family and break up with him. I don't want to..."
"I don't want to take over the position of Lady of Wu'an Marquis," Jiang Fenghua said.
Zhang Yurou said, "If the Jiang family dares to bully my sister, my Zhang family will not stand by and watch her be bullied. We will definitely seek justice for her."
"Which eye of the Fourth Princess Consort saw your sister being bullied in the Jiang family? Who bullied her?" Jiang Fenghua stared at Zhang Yumo with a slightly cold gaze: "It was your sister-in-law who told your cousin that you were wronged in the Jiang family."
"No, the Jiang family has been very good to me." Zhang Yumo said urgently, "Cousin, don't say that. I haven't been bullied by the Jiang family."
“They’ve already taken this to the palace to file a complaint with the emperor. He’s keeping a mistress outside the palace, which is bullying you. Mo’er, I know you’re kind, but the kinder you are, the more you get bullied. Who is that woman? Let Jiang Jinyan call her out for a face-to-face confrontation. Does that woman not like Jiang Jinyan? You’ve seen it for yourself, how could it be fake?”
Zhang Yumo recalled the look in Bai Yuhan's eyes when she looked at Jiang Jinyan; it was clearly an expression of adoration.
Jiang Fenghua knew that she believed Zhang Yurou's words. If Jiang Jinyan didn't call Bai Yuhan out for a confrontation, he would have to bear the infamy of keeping a mistress.
If Bai Yuhan really shows up and people recognize her as Consort Han in the palace, it's clear that Jiang Jinyan not only keeps a mistress but also seduces Consort Han. Perhaps the Empress will even become an accomplice in helping Jiang Jinyan seduce the concubines.
Tsk tsk! They really want to drive the Jiang family to their doom!
"I'll go with you to see! I hope it's all a misunderstanding," Jiang Fenghua said calmly.
Jiang Fenghua walked in front, with Zhang Yumo and Zhang Yurou following closely behind.
