“There’s no need to talk about my second brother; he was so obvious that only a blind man couldn’t see it.
And third brother, he doesn’t even have a maid to serve him in his room. Who do you think he keeps his chastity for?
And what about you? You talk about morality and justice all the time, and you are usually mature and steady, but you lose control again and again for Jiang Huaizhu and do things you shouldn't do.
You might as well ask yourself if you really only treat her as your sister!"
After saying that, he left without even looking at Jiang Jinyan's expression.
Jiang Jinyan broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to think about it at all.
He called the steward outside the yard in:
"Don't let a single word of what the Fourth Young Master said spread outside! I'll kill anyone who dares to say anything!"
The steward was so frightened that his whole body was shaking:
"Yes, yes, I understand..."
Jiang Jinzhen waited for the steward to leave the yard before whispering to Jiang Jinyan:
"Fourth brother is crazy, that's why he said such outrageous words, big brother, please don't take it to heart."
Jiang Jinyan nodded reluctantly. "Of course, such an unethical thing would never happen in our Jiang family. He's just talking nonsense."
But Jiang Jinzhen's light-colored, clear eyes kept staring at him.
Jiang Jinyan felt that the filth in his heart could no longer be hidden under such a gaze, and he avoided the sight of his younger brother in a somewhat annoyed manner.
Jiang Jinzhen whispered:
"Such a big thing has happened at home. Father and grandmother should know about it. When they come back, they will definitely blame you, big brother. Have you thought about what to say?"
Jiang Jinyan's eyes were gloomy.
When his father and grandmother left home, they temporarily handed over the housekeeping power to him, the eldest son of the eldest son.
At that time, he vowed to them that he would keep the house in order inside and out.
But only a short time had passed and such a big mess had occurred under his control.
Not only did he become enemies with the Ninth Prince, he also had his sisters imprisoned, and even had the Marquis Wen Ning's Mansion implicated in a case of treason.
They must have been quite disappointed in him.
Seeing Jiang Jinyan's silence, Jiang Jinzhen paused and said:
"I can ask Master for help with Sister Zhu'er's matter."
Jiang Jinyan's eyes lit up, "Is the Imperial Master really willing to help?"
Both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager believe in Buddhism. If they can really ask the Imperial Master Jia Ruo to speak for Zhu'er and the Jiang family, then even Prince Zhan will not be able to continue to make things difficult for them.
But Master Jiaruo was well-known for not interfering in political affairs, and Jiang Jinyan could not think of any reason for him to care about this matter.
Jiang Jinzhen was very sure:
"I am his last disciple, his most gifted and beloved disciple. I have a way to make him agree to come forward."
Jiang Jinyan frowned, feeling that it was a little unreliable, but finally nodded:
"Okay, then go ahead and try it."
…
After Jiang Xiancao returned to the palace, he asked the imperial physician to examine Shen Tingsi's hand.
When the old doctor with white beard saw Shen Tingsi's injuries, his beard almost fell to the ground in shock.
"Who is so cruel?"
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Jiang Xiancao, who was standing at the head of the bed with a stern expression. He thought that the Ninth Prince had almost crippled the girl's hand, and said in panic:
"Your Highness, what did this girl do to offend you? Even if you are angry with her, you can't be so unkind to her..."
Jiang Xiancao explained helplessly, "It wasn't me who hurt her, it was her five brothers."
"Five brothers?!"
The imperial physician was completely shocked. "How could there be such a cruel and ruthless brother in this world? Did this girl kill their father, or did she anger her mother to death?"
"Neither. Their parents are alive and well, and she has done nothing wrong to them."
Jiang Xiancao sneered, "The injured girl is the second daughter of the Wen Ning Marquis's Mansion."
The remnants of Tianming Pavilion appeared at the Empress Dowager's blessing banquet, and the adopted daughter of the Wenning Marquis was the one who hired the murderer.
This matter had caused a sensation in the capital long ago. Seven or eight out of ten pedestrians on the street were talking about it. Of course, the old doctor had also heard about it.
He couldn't believe it. "The one who made the mistake was the Jiang family's adopted daughter. Why would the five young masters of the Jiang family be so cruel to their own sister who had been wronged?"
Tangyuan, who was standing by Shen Tingsi's side, cried and told him how Jiang Jinyan and others tortured "Jiang Xiancao" so hard that he was forced to change his testimony to rescue Jiang Huaizhu, and how they squeezed him to unconsciousness several times.
The old doctor sighed:
"At my age, I thought I had seen all kinds of people and things, but I didn't expect that I would be broadened in my later years."
He shook his head and took out Ma Fei San.
"Miss Jiang's hand is badly injured, possibly with broken bones. It will be excruciatingly painful to handle. She's already in a state of frailty from the blood loss, and I'm afraid she can't handle the pain.
So, to be on the safe side, let's use Ma Fei San!"
The old doctor was also a knowledgeable man. When he was young, he had witnessed with his own eyes that when his master was applying medicine to a palace maid who had been tortured, the maid died from the pain.
Jiang Xiancao looked at Shen Tingsi, who was half asleep and half awake, lying on the bed with an unpredictable expression.
For a moment, she wanted to reject the old doctor's suggestion and let Shen Tingsi taste the excruciating pain for a while longer.
After all, although she took him away from the Marquis Wen Ning's Mansion, the hatred in her heart for him had not completely disappeared.
He is now in the situation of "Miss Jiang Er", which is indeed very pitiful and he has suffered a lot.
After seeing Jiang Huaizhu's true face, he never did anything to protect Jiang Huaizhu again.
But if they hadn't exchanged souls, he would always be the almighty Ninth Prince.
Because of his preference for Jiang Huaizhu, he can push her into hell at will and make her suffer from eternal damnation.
He would never believe in his life that she was the one who was oppressed and humiliated.
It was the exchange of their situations that changed him, not his conscience.
Jiang Xiancao has always been very clear about this, so she can't say that she forgives Chen Tingsi.
However, she still agreed to give him Ma Fei San.
Because once Ma Fei San is used, Shen Tingsi will sleep for at least three hours.
During these three hours, the Queen Mother will come to the palace.
She needed to let the Queen Mother see Shen Tingsi's bloody hands with her own eyes, but she didn't want to give Shen Tingsi the opportunity to speak in front of the Queen Mother.
"Old doctor, can you use more Ma Fei San? Miss Jiang can't stand the pain now."
Jiang Xiancao spoke in a gentle tone, seemingly with concern.
Tang Yuan was very moved after hearing this, "Your Highness is so kind to Miss, I really misjudged you before!"
Shen Tingsi, who was lying on the bed, happened to hear these words and felt strange.
Could it be that this crazy woman Jiang Xiancao really has such kindness towards him?
He didn't know that just after he fainted, the Queen Mother soon arrived at the palace.
"Xiao Jiu'er, I heard that you even brought that Second Miss Jiang to your home? They're both unmarried, and even though you're thick-skinned and don't mind people pointing fingers behind your back, you still have to consider the reputation of this unmarried girl."
