If you, as children of aristocratic families, don't even have this much self-control, then you shouldn't be a member of the Jiang family. Get out of the mansion as soon as possible and fend for yourselves!"
His ruthless words startled the three people present.
"You offended the royal family for her before, and even made a deal with the Crown Prince while I was away. This has made me very disappointed in you."
Marquis Wen Ning's cold eyes swept over the three of them:
"Now that I'm back, I can forgive you for past events. But from today on, if anyone dares to harm the family's interests for an insignificant bitch, don't blame me for expelling you from the family tree and banishing you to a farm on the outskirts of the city, where you'll be forced to plow the land for the rest of your lives, never to rise above your status."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and returned to the study.
The yard fell into deathly silence.
After a moment, Jiang Jinyan stood up first and staggered out of the yard.
Jiang Jinzhen then stood up, chanting that the Buddha and Bodhisattva would bless Sister Zhu'er to go to the Pure Land, and then he left.
Only Jiang Jinxing collapsed on the ground in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
…
Afternoon, Palace.
Jiang Xiancao was sitting in the waterside pavilion, leisurely drinking tea, when Ting Lan came over and said:
"Your Highness, Jiang Huaizhu is about to be executed. His Highness Prince Zhan has sent someone to inquire about this. Is Your Highness interested in attending the execution?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xiancao put down the teacup, his eyes shining brightly:
"Of course, this king cannot miss such a grand event."
When she rushed to the imperial prison, Jiang Huaizhu was dragged to the execution platform with disheveled hair and her eyes were dazed.
Even when he saw her, Jiang Huaizhu didn't react at all.
Seeing Jiang Huaizhuo's unconscious look, Jiang Xiancao frowned.
After spending half a year living together in the backyard of the Wen Ning Marquis's Mansion, she had a pretty good understanding of Jiang Huaizhu's character.
This woman has a vicious mind, but she is also strong-willed. She will do anything to achieve her goal, and she has a ruthless spirit that will not turn back until she hits a wall.
Therefore, even though she was imprisoned in the imperial prison, Jiang Huaizhu was able to withstand the flogging for such a long time, and only confessed when Shen Yubai was about to use the torture of scraping her bones.
This is not something that any young lady who has been raised in a boudoir can do.
Jiang Huaizhu, who possesses extraordinary perseverance, must also have an extraordinary desire to survive. How could he give in to his fate so easily at the last moment?
This is really unlike her.
Seeing Jiang Xiancao's frown getting closer and closer, Ting Lan came over and asked in a low voice:
"Does Your Majesty feel that something is wrong?"
Jiang Xiancao glanced at him and said thoughtfully:
"Jiang Huaizhu suddenly became unconscious. Don't you think this is strange?"
Ting Lan pondered for a moment. "Most likely, after hearing the imperial edict, she knew she would die. She suffered such a heavy blow that she suddenly became stupid. There are many criminals like this who become numb before death in the imperial prison."
Jiang Xiancao murmured, "Is that really the case?"
She looked at Eunuch Sun and the Deputy Envoy of the Imperial City Division who were in charge of supervising the execution on the high platform, and then looked around but did not see Shen Yubai.
He specially sent someone to the palace to invite her to watch the execution, but he himself was not present.
This seemed like a subtle signal, making Jiang Xiancao more and more suspicious.
