As Grand Tutor Jiang was speaking, his eyes met Jiang Zhiyuan's ice-cold eyes. His heart trembled, and a hint of guilt flashed across his originally concerned eyes.
"Son! Daddy's great son! What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?"
"I guess he's been in a coma for a few years and can't even speak anymore, right?"
"Don't worry, Yuan'er. Daddy will send someone to take good care of you in the other courtyard."
As Grand Tutor Jiang spoke, he glanced into the distance, as if to call someone over.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly grabbed Master Jiang by the collar.
"Hahaha! Father, your acting skills are really great! You are worthy of being a powerful official for more than ten years!" Jiang Zhiyuan's tone was cold.
Master Jiang was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
"Yuan'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Master Jiang raised his eyebrows and pretended to be angry, but his tone softened.
Jiang Zhiyuan burst into laughter, "Stop pretending, aren't you tired?"
When Master Jiang heard this, his whole body relaxed, and his face changed to a calm expression: "Okay!"
He chuckled and continued, "Yuan'er, now that you know, you know. But you have to forgive your father. He really had no choice at the time."
"I resorted to this desperate measure because I wanted to protect the entire Jiang family."
"But Yuan'er, Daddy deliberately gave you a fake death drug in order to save your life."
"Even if I put all the blame on you, I still want to save your life!"
Jiang Zhiyuan looked at Master Jiang coldly: "What did you say? A drug that makes you fall asleep? Hahaha, a drug that makes you sleep all the time?"
Master Jiang waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, you misunderstood Daddy. There was some accident with the fake death drug, which caused you not to wake up on time."
"But this is not what Daddy meant!"
"Daddy's original intention was to trick you into taking a fake death drug and then tell everyone that you died suddenly."
"Then have someone secretly send you to the other courtyard. That way, both my father and I can survive, and the entire Jiang family can be saved."
"I never expected that after giving you the antidote, you wouldn't wake up."
Jiang Zhiyuan glanced at Master Jiang with contempt, obviously not believing it.
At this moment, the door of the main courtyard was pushed open with a creaky sound, and the housekeeper Jiang Bin walked in dragging someone.
The person being dragged was Jiang Ergou who had just been standing outside the yard.
Jiang Ergou was tied up and something was stuffed in his mouth. If the housekeeper exerted a little force, Jiang Ergou would have to stagger and follow.
After the housekeeper entered the yard, he picked up a stone from the flowerpot and hit Jiang Ergou on the back of his head.
Jiang Ergou fell to the ground immediately.
Behind the housekeeper, there followed Mrs. Jiang.
After Mrs. Jiang came in, she immediately turned around and closed the gate.
Seeing this scene, Master Jiang broke out in a cold sweat.
Jiang Zhiyuan turned his head to look at the housekeeper and Mrs. Jiang, and curled the corners of his lips.
"Jiang Bin, what are you doing?" Master Jiang's voice was a little hoarse.
Butler Jiang Bin said loudly: "Haha, it's nothing, I'm just helping the master deal with an eyesore."
At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan smiled and called out to the housekeeper and Mrs. Jiang: "Dad, Mom!"
The housekeeper responded loudly: "Don't panic, Yuan'er, your parents are here to help you!"
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Jiang trembled all over and said in a trembling voice: "You, you knew it a long time ago!?"
He paused, a look of fear in his eyes: "So, you, have woken up a long time ago?"
Jiang Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows proudly: "Old man! This is all because you are too stupid!"
After saying this, he gripped Master Jiang's collar with even greater force.
At this moment, the look of fear on Master Jiang's face became even more intense, but he still pretended to be calm and shouted coldly: "Su Jinxiu, you whore!"
"You and Jiang Bin had an affair in Chencang back then, and gave birth to this evil creature. I already knew the truth."
"I didn't tell anyone about this because of my old friendship and my pity for you."
"If I had killed you all back then, you would have been put in a pig cage long ago."
"Not only are you ungrateful, you even had the nerve to collude with this adulterer and tell Zhiyuan about this!"
"Ask the heavens, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang became anxious and angry, and her face turned red.
"Back then you kept saying you loved me and that you wanted to marry me."
"But what is the truth?"
"You are simply coveting the family background of my Su family."
"Do you think I don't know? Back then, your Jiang family was just a rising star who followed Taizu into battle and made military achievements."
"People like you who come from humble backgrounds, even if you are rewarded by the Grand Ancestor, you will still be ostracized everywhere in the capital and it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the upper social circles."
"At that time, you wanted to discuss marriage, but the noble ladies from aristocratic families didn't even look at you. Later, you set your sights on the Su family."
"In order to marry me, you paid the gangsters to kidnap me."
"Another heroic rescue."
"Just like that, I married into your Jiang family."
"I thought you would treat me wholeheartedly, but after marriage, your thoughts were somewhat on me, and you took in one concubine after another."
When Grand Tutor Jiang heard what Madam Jiang said, his brows furrowed and he was unable to utter a word.
"Fortunately, at that time, there was Brother Bin. Brother Bin was the only one who was sincere to me."
"Jiang Rong! You said you treated Yuan'er well and accepted him even though you knew his background."
"But what's the truth? You kept him because you saw he was incredibly intelligent since he was a kid and thought it would be profitable!"
"After he grew up, he helped you make so many decisions and did so many things for you!"
"At the end of the day, you were still using him, not hesitating to pin all the blame on Yuan'er and even tricking him into taking poison."
"If my brother Bin hadn't found the magic elixir in secret, I'm afraid Yuan'er would have died long ago!"
Upon hearing this, Master Jiang calmed himself down and said in a gentle tone, "Jinxiu, I admit that I used Zhiyuan, but I really didn't want to kill him!"
"Right now, the Jiang family is about to face a disaster. If we are slow, we will all die."
"I'm begging you, please let me go and let's run together!"
At this time, the housekeeper Jiang Bin, who had not spoken for a long time, said in a deep voice: "Yuan'er, don't listen to the old man Hu Qin! Hurry and do it!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyuan stretched out his other hand, reached into Master Jiang's clothes, and took out a small cloth bag.
Master Jiang said in panic, "Yuan'er, I have always considered you my son. Daddy can't let go of this father-son relationship!"
"We can pretend nothing happened and still be father and son. These things will be yours from now on. But don't snatch them like this!"
"These things can't be used just by stealing them!"
