"Aren't you under house arrest? Why are you here?" Jiang Rongqing looked at Jiang Yuzhen. His skill of making his father soften his heart just by crying no longer worked.
Just now, Jiang Mingzhi was waiting at the Chuihua Gate for Jiang Rongqing to come back. She thought she might not be able to wait for him, but just when she was about to leave, Jiang Rongqing came back.
On the way, she briefly told Jiang Rongqing what happened here. In fact, she also guessed that Jiang Yuzhen would be here, but she didn't expect to see this kind of scene when she came back.
If Jiang Yuzhen had not fought with the servants, Jiang Rongqing probably would not have been angry at all. At most, he would have scolded Feng and assigned more people to keep a close watch on Jiang Yuzhen. But... now, it's probably not the case anymore!
"My... Daddy!" Jiang Yuzhen was a little flustered. For a moment, she didn't know how to explain her presence. But soon, she had an idea. She pointed at Jiang Mingzhi, who was standing next to Jiang Rongqing. "She was the one who instigated the servants to harass Hongyu in my yard. Hongyu originally went to get my breakfast, but she didn't come back for a long time. Then I heard that Jiang Mingzhi's people had detained them all in the corridor!"
This explanation... Jiang Mingzhi originally wanted to say something, but after listening to it, he didn't know what to say.
If she hadn't been so angry about what Jiang Yuzhen did, she might have kindly reminded her that it was she who invited Jiang Rongqing over, and her maid was still soaking in the water. It was not a wise decision to frame her at this time.
"Yes, Lord!" Seeing her daughter's incoherent speech, Feng took over and explained, "I heard about this incident and rushed over. Who knew that the people in the eldest lady's room were so reckless and dared to hit the master? I think it's all my fault. I've been too lenient and generous over the years, and I let them lose their minds!"
Jiang Mingzhi still didn't say anything. She wanted to see how Feng could turn white into black with just her mouth.
Qingtang had to defend herself, "Madam, I didn't hit Third Miss. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to take off Third Miss's clothes and examine her injuries. I just saw that Third Miss was struggling and almost fell, so I held her so that she could beat her more smoothly."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"You black-hearted bastard, you can actually strip my clothes whenever you want?!"
Jiang Yuzhen's tearful face flushed red with anger. "I think you just need some discipline. My mother has always been lenient with us, and you deserve a good beating!"
"That's enough!"
Jiang Rongqing finally couldn't help it and interrupted Jiang Yuzhen's nagging curses with a scolding.
"As a young lady from a marquis's mansion, it's already indecent for you to fight with a servant. Now your clothes are disheveled and your hair is messy. You are already a girl of marriageable age. If this gets out, who would dare to propose marriage to you?" Jiang Rongqing was obsessed with the lawsuit and felt that his daughter seemed different from before.
Although she was a little spoiled in the past, she had never done anything so outrageous. He felt that it was okay for his little girl to be spoiled. After all, he and Feng only had this one daughter. But now, he just felt a headache!
And there was Jiang Mingzhi. Thinking of this eldest daughter who also gave him a lot of worries, Jiang Rongqing turned his head and looked at her deeply.
"How do you discipline the people in your house?"
When he said this, his voice was very low.
Could it be that Jiang Rongqing really believed Jiang Yuzhen’s lies?
Jiang Mingzhi opened his mouth and ended up laughing out of anger.
She thought that everyone could see what was happening now, but now Jiang Rongqing was like a blind man, not knowing right from wrong, and acting as if he wanted to confront her. What was he trying to do?
It seems that I can't remain silent anymore. As long as I remain mute, these people will make her suffer in silence!
"Father taught me that!"
She smiled and bowed to Jiang Rongqing, her face still with a warm smile, but it reminded Jiang Rongqing of how she forced him to confine Zhen'er. Suddenly, his heart sank, and he even felt a little scared.
"What do you want to do?" He blurted out the question and was stunned after saying it.
Jiang Mingzhi was also a little confused. Wasn't she admitting her mistake? Why did this cheap father look so scared? She... didn't seem to have done anything, right?
"Father, I think you're right. This matter is indeed my fault. It's my fault that I didn't teach the maids in my yard well. If the maids in my yard could fight ten people at once, they wouldn't have been bullied into the water by the few fancy tricks from Third Sister's yard today."
Jiang Rongqing suppressed the throbbing in his temples and looked at the mess in the corridor again.
How could he not know what was going on? But Zhen'er had already been punished and grounded. If she was punished again today, wouldn't that girl be wronged?
"It takes two to tango. Stop making excuses here. Why, it was your sister's fault last time, and it's your sister's fault again this time?"
Listening to Jiang Rongqing's undisguised biased words, Jiang Mingzhi felt an inexplicable surge of grievance in her heart, but she could feel that this was not her own emotion, but seemed to be the consciousness left by the original owner that was sad.
Only now did she understand why some people were not worthy of being parents. Although they were both biological daughters, Jiang Rongqing was blatantly partial to her. If that was the case, then don't blame her for making the decision for herself.
"Isn't this obvious? Can someone who stabbed someone twice, was imprisoned for a few years, and then committed another crime after being released, just get away with it? My father is also an official. I don't think his daughter needs to remind him of such a simple truth, right?"
Jiang Rongqing took a deep breath and looked at his thin and pretty daughter in front of him. He actually felt oppressed.
This feeling was so wonderful, something he had never experienced before.
I don’t know if it was this feeling or his self-esteem, but Jiang Rongqing had only one thought in his mind, which was that he must not let Jiang Mingzhi get what he wanted.
This time and twice, he, as a father, was suppressed so hard that he would have no face in this mansion from now on.
But just when he was thinking about how to let Jiang Mingzhi know who was the head of the family, Jiang Mingzhi suddenly changed the subject and said, "But don't worry, father. After all, I am her elder sister, and I won't really fight with my younger sister because of this matter."
Isn’t this still a confrontation?
Jiang Rongqing felt speechless.
"Father, I think what Madam said makes sense."
Feng was suddenly called out and looked up at Jiang Mingzhi with a look as if she was facing a great enemy.
Jiang Mingzhi naturally noticed Feng's vigilance and panic, but this time she had handed the handle to him personally. If he didn't make good use of it, wouldn't he be letting Jiang Yuzhen down for her friendly appearance?
The couple looked at Jiang Mingzhi nervously, waiting for her next words.
