Jiang Rongqing and He Zian looked towards the door at the same time, and saw Jiang Mingzhi walking out of the door in a goose yellow satin moon-shaped dress.
"What are you doing here?"
Although Jiang Rongqing's opinion of his eldest daughter has changed a lot in recent times, he still can't help but feel a little disgusted every time he sees her.
Jiang Mingzhi pretended not to hear and walked straight forward to bow to Jiang Rongqing, then turned to He Zian and nodded slightly, "Master He, my father is away from home all year round and is not aware of the affairs of the inner court. I came here now to help you close the case as soon as possible."
The girl in front of me opened her red lips slightly, and every word she said was filled with an inexplicable confidence that made people unable to help but believe it.
"My past is probably well known to everyone in the capital, and Lord He should know about it as well, right? I won't elaborate. Lord He, since I woke up, many things have happened at home. Among them, there is one thing that I have never been able to understand. It concerns our second young lady."
Hearing his eldest daughter mention Jiang Yushu, Jiang Rongqing frowned. He didn't want any more family members to be implicated, so he interrupted, "What's going on in this family that I don't know? Stop talking nonsense here. If you have nothing else to say, you can go back first!"
He Zian couldn't help but frown at his unreasonable interruption of Jiang Mingzhi, and raised his hand to make a hushed gesture. "Marquis Jinyi, your wife's affairs are absurd and bizarre. If this matter is not investigated and spread out, what will happen? I'm sure you don't want to see it, right?"
Jiang Rongqing took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. What's the point of investigating the case? He Zian was obviously protecting Jiang Mingzhi. Could it be that if Jiang Mingzhi didn't say anything, the truth of the matter would not be revealed?
"Eldest sister!"
A voice sounded behind him, and Jiang Yushu had come to the front hall without him noticing.
Jiang Mingzhi turned his head to look at her, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and without giving her any more glances, turned around and continued to talk to He Zian about the question that had been puzzling him.
She did not hide the fact that Jiang Yushu was abnormal.
She had just said half of her words when Jiang Yushu could no longer hold back. With red eyes, she quickly walked forward and knelt down in front of Jiang Mingzhi with a plop.
But Jiang Mingzhi seemed not to see it at all and ignored it.
Even He Zi'an couldn't help but feel pity and glanced at Jiang Yushu lying on the ground, but only for a moment. As an official who was the father and mother of the people of the capital, he hated being too compassionate.
"Eldest sister, Yushu begs you!"
Seeing that Jiang Mingzhi was not shaken, Jiang Yushu began to kowtow to the ground, each kowtow was solid and full of determination, with the resolve to never give up.
If it were in the past, Jiang Mingzhi would be moved and distressed, but now, Jiang Mingzhi no longer wants to sympathize with Jiang Yushu. She has been waiting for a long time, and it was Jiang Yushu himself who was unwilling to cherish the opportunity.
Since you were so patient back then, why bother worrying now?
Finally, Jiang Mingzhi glanced at Jiang Yushuo lying on the ground. For some reason, she felt a deep sadness in her heart. She was sure that this sadness did not come from her, but more like the remaining consciousness of the original owner.
Perhaps, Jiang Mingzhi once had deep feelings for her incompetent sister, even though she was not her blood sister.
"So, are you going to wait for Lord He to interrogate you personally, or are you going to tell me the truth yourself?"
Jiang Mingzhi's voice was cold, and every word was like an ice knife hitting Jiang Yushu's heart. She bit her lip, her eyelashes trembled, and she closed her eyes. Her chest rose and fell slightly, and she took a deep breath.
He Zian turned his head and glanced at Jiang Mingzhi, and couldn't help but feel confused in his heart, are they really sisters? Looking at the appearance of Miss Jiang, there is no sisterly love at all, she is even more cold-blooded than him, an outsider.
"I say."
Jiang Yushu's voice choked with sobs, and when he opened his eyes again, they were already red.
"Sir He, the next thing is up to you." Jiang Mingzhi smiled knowingly, without even looking at Jiang Yushu, turned around and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, Jiang Yushu shouted, "Eldest sister, please stay. There are some things I want to say only to you."
When coming out of the front hall again, Jiang Mingzhi lost his balance and nearly fell. Fortunately, Zhong Ruijia, who came here waiting for news, was quick-witted and stepped forward to help Jiang Mingzhi, so that he did not fall down the stairs.
"Young lady, you're so worried, watch your step."
Jiang Mingzhi couldn't even force a smile. He stood up straight and shouted to Qingsha Qingwu: "Prepare the car and go to Fengjiazhuang!"
Zhong Ruijia came to inquire about the news in the front yard on the orders of the old lady, but Lord He was questioning in the inner room just now, and none of the servants stayed in the room. Zhong Ruijia had no idea what had happened at this time. Seeing the eldest lady in this state, she could no longer suppress her anxiety and turned back to report to Old Lady Jiang.
Upon hearing that her usually steady granddaughter had such a reaction, Mrs. Jiang immediately sent someone to call Jiang Rongqing over.
Fengjiazhuang.
"I asked you to wash the clothes, but it took you forever to get them clean. You said the food you ate would be better if you fed it to a dog!"
The woman cursed as she delivered a heavy kick to the skinny young lady.
"Oh, Madam Feng San, what are you so angry about again? You've been doing this every other day, more often than you train a dog!"
The ridicule from the others only added fuel to Feng Sanniang's anger. She looked at her sister-in-law Chunhua in front of her and became even more angry. She kicked her again, put her hands on her hips, and turned back to curse, "I'm disciplining my own sister-in-law. When did it become someone else's turn to criticize me? My family is in chaos, but you're gossiping about other people's business. Ptah!"
Chunhua was kicked twice in a row and was in so much pain that she couldn't even utter a word of begging for mercy.
She was a miserable person. She had no father and no mother since childhood and was raised by her aunt. She was betrothed to a man when she was thirteen. Because she had a weak body since childhood and could not do many heavy jobs, and her first child was a daughter, her in-laws hated her in every way. Even her elder sister-in-law who came home was very harsh on her.
"Did you hear me talking to you? Are you dead?"
Seeing that the person on the ground hadn't responded, Mrs. Feng San tentatively kicked her sister-in-law's back with her toes.
Chunhua didn't respond. Mrs. Feng San was frightened. She squatted down with her hands covering her mouth and tried to feel Chunhua's breath.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Chunhua bit it hard. The pain made Feng Sanniang cry and scream.
Chunhua bit with all her strength this time. She couldn't survive in the Feng family anyway, so she might as well find someone to take the blame with her. Only then did she dare to act so recklessly.
"God damn it, just let me go!"
Feng Zhang, who ran out after hearing the noise, saw this and rushed over with a broom, beating her daughter-in-law hard.
"You ungrateful bastard, I gave you food and shelter, yet you dare to bully your master!"
Mrs. Feng San, who had escaped from the trap, also joined in the beating. Seeing that Chunhua's breath was getting weaker and weaker, the mother and daughter did not show any mercy. However, Chunhua's two-year-old daughter saw her mother being bullied, and she staggered forward and tried to protect her mother.
At this moment, a carriage with green curtains and upturned eaves pulled by three horses stopped not far away.
