Chapter 146 Bah! You’re a liar!
Jiang Shi heard it clearly from the side. Hearing this, he immediately tapped his toes and was at the pool in a blink of an eye.
He stood still and looked towards the edge of the pool, his eyes suddenly widening.
I saw a servant in blue lying on the ground, his head pressed into the water...
The pool was bubbling, and I didn't know whether the man was dead or alive...
Jiang Shi immediately shouted, "What are you doing? Hurry up and pull this guy up!"
When the servants standing around saw that it was the prince who had arrived, they immediately dragged the servant in blue up.
As soon as the servant was dragged ashore, he began to cough violently.
At this time, Shangguanxi and others also arrived.
Shangguan Sui immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
[Fortunately, we arrived in time and Zhang Shou was not drowned.]
Shangguan Xi frowned and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Her voice was cold, filled with anger.
If it weren’t for Shunshun’s reminder, someone would have really died in Prince Yong’s Mansion today!
It all happened so fast that Jiang Yan didn't even have time to react.
Zhang was the one who reacted quickly. She immediately bowed her head and said, "I have seen the princess."
She pointed at Zhang Shou who was still coughing on the ground and explained with a chuckle.
"It's all because of these servants who wanted to see who could hold their breath the longest. That's why they caused such a commotion. They really disturbed the princess."
Shangguan Sui was speechless listening to this.
[Haha, this Zhang really loves her son so much that she found a reason for Jiang Yan so quickly.]
Jiang Yan also reacted at this time and quickly agreed with what Zhang had just said.
"Yes, yes, it was all these servants who were making trouble, and my son was just watching them play."
[Bah, you're a liar! ]
[It's obvious that you tortured Zhang Shou on purpose, but now you're saying that it's all Zhang Shou's fault.]
[You two, mother and son, really have a great rapport and cooperate well. 】
Shangguanxi:?
What does Sui Sui mean by this?
Love for the son? Mother and son?
But before she could think about it carefully, Zhang Shou beside her had come to his senses and his mind was gradually becoming clear.
When he saw Shangguan Xi, he immediately bowed his head and saluted, "Greetings to the princess."
Shangguan Xi came back to his senses after hearing this. He turned around and saw him nodding slightly. He immediately asked, "What exactly is going on? Zhang Shou, tell me the truth!"
Zhang Shou hesitated and frowned for a long time without saying anything.
The princess has always loved the young master, so even if he told her, she probably wouldn't believe it.
He might be the one who suffers in the end...
Zhang turned her head and glanced at Zhang Shou, sneering, "The princess is asking you a question, why don't you answer it?"
"Don't forget, your whole family is still in the palace."
When Zhang Shou heard this, he shuddered all over and dared not say anything more.
What if the princess doesn't believe him and chases them off the street in anger? What should he do then?
[Hey, Zhang, you still dare to threaten Zhang Shou like this! ]
[Zhang Shou must be afraid that he will tell the truth. Auntie won't believe it. After all, Auntie has always loved Jiang Yan, and everyone in the mansion knows it.]
Shangguan Xi's lips turned pale when he heard this.
Someone had told her before that Jiang Yan was mean...
But she just thought the child was being naughty, and Jiang Yan just said it had nothing to do with him and looked at her with an innocent face.
She never took it to heart...
I didn't expect that they were all Yan'er's costumes...
When Shangguan Xi thought of this, breathing became much more difficult.
Her eyes suddenly fell on Zhang Shou, and her voice became very stern.
"If you tell the truth, I will make this matter clear today!"
"If I find out you're lying, I will never forgive you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yan and Zhang's faces turned pale instantly.
Before... didn't the princess never care about it...
Why is it so real this time...
Zhang Shou heard this and seemed to sense that the princess was indeed different from before...
He kowtowed vigorously to Shangguan Xi.
"Princess, we were not playing around. The Second Young Master deliberately had someone put my head under the water to see how long I could hold my breath."
"I didn't want to, but there was no way I could resist. I almost died in the water."
As he spoke, Zhang Shou's eyes instantly turned red.
Shangguan Sui couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
[His parents named him Zhang Shou, presumably hoping that their son would live a long life.]
[Unexpectedly, in the original book, he died on this day, not even seventeen years old...]
Jiang Yan became furious upon hearing this and started scolding Zhang Shou.
"How dare you, you damned servant, wrongly accuse me!"
After cursing, he immediately turned around and looked at Shangguan Xi with a pitiful look on his face.
"Mother, I didn't, I really didn't..."
Shangguan Xi took a deep breath, ignored him, and turned to look at the servants around him.
He said in a sharp voice: "Tell me, is what Zhang Shou said true?!"
The servants nodded quickly, "Princess, what Zhang Shou said is the truth."
Zhang Shou also became bolder at this time and told everything directly.
He kowtowed vigorously, "Princess, the Second Young Master enjoys torturing us on weekdays."
"Let's beat each other in front of him. We can't stop until blood is seen, and the Second Young Master will be laughing beside us..."
"And he made us drink his urine..."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xi's face turned frighteningly pale, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.
Her son, the son she raised since childhood.
He is only five years old! Only five years old! How could he become like this!
As he spoke, Zhang Shou and the attendants around him immediately rolled up their sleeves to show Shangguan Xi the scars on their arms.
They all kowtowed and said, "Please, Princess, make the decision for us!"
They have been serving Jiang Yan since he was a child.
When he was young, the second young master just had a bad temper, but as he grew older, his personality became worse.
Later, he even started to torture them for fun...
They really, really couldn't stand it any longer...
Shangguan Xi looked at Jiang Yan with trembling lips, almost roaring.
"You did all this?!"
No wonder Jiang Yan wanted to live in a separate courtyard when he was four years old.
No wonder he never let himself go into his yard, nor get close to her...
Shangguan Xi was so angry that he walked forward and slapped Jiang Yan in the face.
Snap——
Applause broke out and Jiang Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Her voice was shaking with anger as she shouted angrily, "Take the Second Young Master away, give him 20 lashes of the cane, and throw him into his yard!
"From now on, no one is allowed to serve him! Let him learn a lesson!"
When Zhang saw Jiang Yan being taken away, her eyes were filled with heartache.
But she quickly calmed down and stood aside without saying a word.
Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Xi's gaze fell on Zhang Shou and others.
She sighed softly, "It is my fault for not raising my children well, and you have suffered this. I will give each of you 100 taels of gold as compensation."
Zhang Shou and others kowtowed immediately.
Shangguan Sui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhang Shou was fine.
[In the original book, after Zhang Shou died, his parents refused to believe that he had drowned. In the end, they quickly found out the truth and found the seventh prince, the mortal enemy of Prince Yong.]
[The Seventh Prince made a big fuss about this matter, and Prince Yong had to work very hard to suppress it.]
[There is no other way. After his eldest cousin dies tonight, he will only have this one son.]
Jiang Shi's heart sank when he heard this.
But he still doesn’t know how he died!!!
When will Sui Sui tell him!!!
