Nangong Jiu spoke at the right time.
"Uncle Jiang, the aunts are here, it's so lively!"
Humph, let them go, why should I watch the fun?
"That's right! Master, we want to go with you to see the young master."
Jiang Zhengyi had no choice but to walk towards his son's courtyard.
The group arrived at Jiang Shuheng's room.
Jiang Zhengyi walked to the bed and sat down: "Madam, how is Shuheng?"
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern!" Chen Mingyi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly without even raising his head.
The indifferent words and address made Jiang Zhengyi's heart sink.
She must be heartbroken, she doesn't even want to call her husband.
But at this moment, someone wants to die.
The Second and Third Aunts tried to act cute in front of Jiang Zhengyi: "Sister, the Master is here to see the Young Master out of kindness, why are you putting on such a sour face? It's as if someone owes you anything."
"That's right, the young master isn't dead yet, who are you crying for?"
“Pah!”
Chen Mingyi slapped each of them in the face.
"Chen Mingyi, are you looking for death? How dare you hit us?" The second and third concubines covered their faces and screamed.
Aunt Xu added fuel to the fire: "Sister, the young master is injured, and you are worried and angry.
We are of low status, so we just have to endure the bullying.
But the young master is also the master's son, and the master is also worried and sad, so you shouldn't take your anger out on the master."
Humph, idiot, no wonder you can’t keep the master’s heart.
Jiang Zhengyi closed his eyes and said, "Be quiet, Shuheng is still asleep, what are you guys arguing about?"
Chen Mingyi picked up a fruit peeler on the table and waved it at several people.
"All of you get out of here. If you don't, don't blame me for not recognizing anyone with my knife.
Jiang Zhengyi and Shuheng are already badly injured, and instead of thinking about how to bring the murderer to justice, you bring these poisonous creatures here.
Do they want to show off their cruel methods in front of Shuheng and demonstrate to us mother and son?
Not only are you treacherous, but you also find these shameful things to humiliate me.
Well, you're great! "
"Ma'am, it's not..."
Jiang Zhengyi's words were interrupted by Aunt Xu: "This bitch is lawless and dares to use a knife on you.
Master, please enforce the family rules. If you don't teach her a lesson, she won't know who's in charge of the family, and she won't know her own worth."
"Tsk tsk..." Nangong Jiu smacked his lips and exclaimed in amazement.
Jiang Zhengyi's patience has reached its limit.
"Miss Liu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, but it's also my fault for being stupid!
Before, I was hesitant about how to deal with it, but now I have thought it through.
I will clean up the mess right now, and ask Miss Liu to be a witness. Come here!"
The housekeeper came in with a few maids.
Several concubines looked at Chen Mingyi with gloating eyes.
"Master, you must not be lenient this time. You must teach her a lesson and make her lie down for ten days or half a month. See if she dares to go against you next time."
Bitch, you deserve it. You asked for death and saved us from taking action.
Nangong Jiu sneered.
"It seems that this kind of scene is not the first time. Go ahead, I will bear witness to this."
Jiang Zhengyi shouted at the maids, "What are you waiting for if you don't take action?"
The old women rushed towards Chen Mingyi.
Several concubines covered their mouths with their hands and laughed proudly.
Jiang Zhengyi was stunned for a moment before shouting, "Idiot! Tie them up! I'm going to avenge my son in public today."
After being yelled at, the maids realized that they had made a mistake and changed their route. Each of them grabbed one of the concubines and dragged them out of the side rooms.
"Assholes, the master will not let you old slaves go!"
"Pa pa pa"
After a few crisp sounds, it stopped.
"Miss Liu, Madam, please come on, let's go and see what they have to say."
The beating that Chen Mingyi expected did not come, but instead several concubines suffered misfortune.
Surprised, he sneered.
"Master, what are you singing?"
Nangong Jiu walked up and took her hand: "Aunt, let's go and see."
In the open space in the front yard, several concubines had been gagged, tied up tightly and forced to kneel on the ground.
When Aunt Xu saw Jiang Zhengyi coming out, she meowed for help.
The housekeeper was very considerate and asked someone to bring a few chairs and asked everyone to sit down.
Jiang Zhengyi acted as he usually did when trying a case.
"How did you plot to harm my son Shuheng? Tell me clearly, and you'll have peace of mind. Otherwise, you'll be punished."
The maids removed the rags that were covering the mouths of the concubines.
"Master, this is unfair. We didn't harm the young master. He was being pursued for revenge..."
Chen Mingyi gritted her teeth and said, "My son is only fourteen years old. He has always been well-behaved and sensible, and has never had any grudges against anyone. How could someone seek revenge and take his life?"
Aunt Xu argued, "Perhaps the young master offended someone outside without realizing it.
We don't leave the house all day, how can we know what's going on outside?"
Jiang Zhengyi snorted: "Really? Butler, repeat what they said to them."
The housekeeper said in a serious tone, "Second and Third Aunts said: What a pity, they were just a little bit away from killing him.
After this, I’m afraid there won’t be such a good opportunity again.
Aunt Xu said: "Why are you in such a hurry? They say that the harem is like a battlefield, there are so many ways to kill someone..."
The faces of the concubines turned pale in an instant.
It’s over. We were so proud of ourselves that the housekeeper heard everything we said. What should we do now?
Aunt Xu, relying on her status as the most favored, screamed in a shrill voice, "Master, the housekeeper is talking nonsense. We don't have the guts to do that."
“I also hope that the housekeeper is talking nonsense, but unfortunately, I was there at the time.
Go ahead and tell me everything clearly from the beginning. Otherwise, I will beat you until you finish speaking."
As he said this, he ordered someone to bring a bench and a board, and prepare to beat him.
The master was present at the time, but he didn't say anything...
Several concubines were frightened and trembling by Jiang Zhengyi's series of actions.
"master……"
"I'll give you one last chance, will you tell me or not?"
"Master, we didn't do it. It wasn't us. It's unfair..."
Jiang Zhengyi said to the housekeeper, "Beat him!"
The three concubines were pressed on the bench, and the servants picked up the sticks and started beating them with "crackling" sounds.
"ah……"
After being beaten with a few boards, the third concubine couldn't bear it anymore.
"Stop hitting me! I'll tell you, isn't that enough?"
Jiang Zhengyi raised his hand, and the third concubine was dragged up by the servants and knelt in front of Jiang Zhengyi.
"Master, it was Sister Xu who came up with the idea. The three of us put up the money and contacted her relatives. It was supposed to be foolproof, but unfortunately we ran into the patrol..."
"You three vicious women, vicious women..." Chen Mingyi's hands were shaking.
"I believe I have never done anything to embarrass or mistreat you, yet you frame me, bully and humiliate me in various ways.
Since the day you came in, the Jiang family has never been at peace.
Just forget about treating me like this.
My son Shuheng treated you with courtesy, why did you do such a cruel thing to him?"
