"How do you know that those men are putting on an act?" Lord Jiang asked.
"After we withdrew from the water, we looked back and saw that they had stopped fighting and were acting harmoniously. They were clearly superiors and subordinates. They probably thought that since Young Master Jiang had sunk into the water, they had achieved their goal and stopped pretending."
Lord Jiang's clenched fist trembled as he said bitterly, "Shijing has suffered for many years and is only now getting better. Who would be so intolerant of him?"
Princess Shouguang and Jiang Shuxue also arrived.
Seeing Jiang Shijing take a deep breath and regain his composure, Princess Shouguang patted her chest, her legs went weak and she almost fainted, but fortunately she was supported by someone.
Jiang Shuxue looked disappointed; Jiang Shijing was just a hair's breadth away from death.
Moreover, she got nervous, and Young Master Zhong didn't handle things properly. They were even witnessed by these people. If they were identified, how would she get away with it?
And will it implicate her?
"You will stay here for now; we need you to identify them," Lord Jiang said.
He will make anyone who tries to harm his son suffer a great loss.
"I'm afraid that as the world improves, some people will feel that their interests are threatened and will try to harm the world." If it were in the past, Princess Shouguang would only shed tears, but now she first put forward a guess.
Lord Jiang thought of Madam Wei's family, and his face darkened further.
They drive people crazy, they make them mentally impaired, and they even poison them to try and kill them.
With such heinous acts preceding us, what does it matter if we push someone into the water and try to drown them?
It's best if it's not a mother and her two children, otherwise, his tolerance will have reached its limit.
The steward in Jiang Shijing's courtyard suddenly remembered something: "My lord, this old servant has something to report."
Young Master Jiang has recovered and settled in his room, with Princess Shouguang by his side.
"Speak."
Lord Jiang sat down in the hall, took a sip of tea, and suppressed his earlier panic, feeling as if he had survived a disaster.
He had finally regained his intelligent son, but if he were to die suddenly, he would be devastated and in despair.
The butler whispered, "It seems that yesterday, the eldest young master received an invitation to visit Baimatan in the eastern suburbs, and the person who invited him was none other than the young master of the Zhong family."
Young Master Zhong is an only child, so which other young master could he be?
Lord Jiang paused, wanting to confirm again: "Is it Young Master Zhong, who is about to marry Shuxue?"
"That's right, that invitation is still in the eldest son's study."
The teacup fell from Lord Jiang's hand and shattered into pieces.
He was shocked and indignant that his future son-in-law wanted to harm his son, and he couldn't quite process what was happening.
He just couldn't understand why Young Master Zhong would pull this stunt. Had he lost his mind?
If Shijing was murdered by Madam Wei's family, he could understand it. After all, the eldest son had recovered, and the family business would fall into his hands, while the second and third sons would suffer losses.
But Young Master Zhong, he wants to marry Shi Jing's sister, who is born of the same mother. He should be closer to the main wife. How could he make such a foolish move?
Moreover, he is an outsider; what benefit would he gain from killing Se-kyung?
However, he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he still had to go to the Zhong family to ask them for clarification.
