On the second day after Shen Tingsi returned to the Marquis of Wen Ning's Mansion, news came that the emperor had ordered the death penalty for Jiang Huaizhu.
Jiang Jinyan and others' injuries on their buttocks had not yet healed completely, and they even limped when they walked out of bed. However, after learning about this, they jumped up and down like mice.
Except for Jiang Jinyi and Jiang Jinan, the other three were anxious to see Marquis Wen Ning.
Marquis Wen Ning was too lazy to waste time talking to these three evil bastards, and directly ordered the guards to stand guard outside the study and stop them all.
Jiang Jinyan and others did not give up at first and knelt outside the study door to beg for mercy.
An hour later, their bodies were shaking and the wounds on their buttocks were split open and burning with pain, but Marquis Wen Ning showed no sign of softening his heart and still refused to see them.
Finally, Jiang Jinxing realized that his father would never change his mind. He gritted his teeth and stood up. Because his legs and feet were so numb, he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the servant who followed him was quick to support him.
With the help of the servant, he barely turned around and was about to walk out of the yard.
His father refused to save Zhu'er, and as her brother, he couldn't just stand by and watch, otherwise Zhu'er would be dead.
Even if it means trespassing into the imperial prison, he will do it for his beloved sister!
But before Jiang Jinxing could take a few steps, he was grabbed by the guards and said, "The Marquis has ordered that you and the other young masters cannot leave the palace without his permission."
Jiang Jinyan paused, showing an expression of disbelief.
His father doted on Zhu'er so much on weekdays, but now not only did he refuse to go to the palace to plead for Zhu'er, he even refused to let him leave the house!
"Father, Zhu'er is going to die soon!" Jiang Jinxing yelled into the study, "Are you really so cruel—"
Before he could finish his words, the furious voice of Marquis Wen Ning came from the study:
"Come here, slap this unfilial villain in the face. Let him clear his pig-brain!"
The guards in the yard were all close confidants of Marquis Wen Ning. With the Marquis's order, they were not afraid of offending the second young master Jiang Jinxing. They simply pushed him to the ground and began to slap him coldly and mercilessly.
The guard's hand was quite strong, and soon Jiang Jinxing's head was buzzing with the beating.
The two people next to them looked at this scene with different expressions.
Seeing that no one stood up to fight, Jiang Jinxing struggled and shouted:
"Big Brother, Fifth Brother, don't you want to save Zhu'er? Are you going to watch Zhu'er die?!"
Jiang Jinyan lowered his eyes and silently avoided his second brother's gaze.
At this moment, his mind kept emerging with what his father had said to him before and everything he had done for Jiang Huaizhu.
He has already paid too much for this sister.
For her, he staked his entire future on it.
You have to know that for a kid from a noble family like him, his career prospects are the most important thing to him besides his life.
He even took advantage of his status as the eldest son to act on his own when his father was not back, and sacrificed the family reputation for Jiang Huaizhu.
At that time, he was full of passion and naively thought that he could bear the consequences of all this and that things would definitely turn around.
But now it seems that the price is too high for him to afford, and the so-called turning point has not yet come.
He wasted these most precious things just because he wanted to save Jiang Huaizhu's life.
Even his father was extremely disappointed in him, the eldest son, but now he was kneeling in front of his father's door for her. Isn't that enough?
Isn’t he good enough to Zhu’er?
He has done his best for her!
Does he really want him to risk his life to save a sister who is not related to him by blood and is hiding something from them out of selfish motives?
"The emperor has issued an order. Even if we leave the palace, there is nothing we can do."
When Jiang Jinyan spoke, his voice was exceptionally calm, with a hint of disheartened indifference, "Father is right, Jinxing, don't be so stubborn."
Jiang Jinxing was stunned for a moment, and then, accompanied by the sound of slaps, he roared like a mad dog:
"Zhu'er's last resort is us, but you actually abandoned her! If she dies, you will be her murderer!"
With a slap, another heavy slap landed on Jiang Jinxing's face, knocking him to the ground.
Jiang Jinyan looked at his embarrassed second brother and suddenly burst into hysterical laughter:
"I didn't do anything wrong, what do you have to blame me for? I've done everything I should to protect her! And you, a reckless loser who only knows how to resort to violence, what else can you do besides acting on impulse and holding us back?!"
His eyes flushed red, and he began to curse unceremoniously:
"Even if father agrees to let you leave the palace, what can you do after you rush into the imperial prison?
Do you think that with your limited martial arts skills, you can become the enemy of the entire Imperial City Bureau and successfully break into the prison?
Even if you really did something like breaking into the prison for her, do you think you could save her? No, you would only drag the entire Jiang family into this, and prove our treason. No one would survive, and everyone would be killed by you, a fool! "
Blood flowed from the corner of Jiang Jinxing's mouth, and he continued to glare at him, "So you all gave up on her, you don't even acknowledge her as your sister anymore, you are so cruel!"
Jiang Jinyan, who was originally venting his emotions at him in a rage, instantly deflated after hearing these words.
Marquis Wen Ning finally walked out of the study and angrily shouted coldly:
"No ruthlessness, no hero. A woman who drags down the entire family deserves death. Don't say she's not your biological sister. Even if she were your sister from the same mother, she must be abandoned!
