Hua Lingyi and Hua Lingjian also looked at Hua Changjue worriedly.
"Save him! Impossible! If we don't save him, who knows what the old lady will do! She might even accuse our parents of being unfilial! And make the Emperor dislike our father!"
Hua Changjue frowned, "It's okay, the people who went back to their hometown should have some progress, it won't be long before the old lady can't jump around anymore!"
Hua Lingxuan and Hua Lingjian knew that their father was trying to comfort them. Now should be considered the darkest moment before dawn.
The confrontation with Hua Changxiao and the old lady was now out in the open. It was really a fight to the death.
Hua Lingyi didn't like such a depressing atmosphere, he frowned and said unhappily.
"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth! What are you afraid of?"
Hua Changjue smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Old Two is right! If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our own army; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth! Okay, we still have a tough battle to fight tomorrow! Let's go back!"
The four of them quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Yu Jinzhi just arrived at the government office with his men.
The butler of Lord Wang's family came. He stepped forward with a smile and bowed.
"Master Yu, Wang Quan is the young master of our house. The master asked me to bring a message to him."
Yu Jinzhi cupped his hands, "As you wish!"
The butler nodded, "Thank you!"
Then, in front of everyone, Jiudian spoke directly to Wang Quan, who was so scared that his legs went limp.
"Sir, the master asked me to pass on a message to you, saying that you should assist Lord Yu in handling the case. Once the matter is understood, you will be sent directly back to your hometown farm with Aunt Huang!"
Wang Quan was stunned, his face full of despair.
Everyone else understood that Lord Wang had given up on this heir.
After giving his instructions, the butler said hello to Master Yu and left without looking back.
Yu Jinzhi locked up all these people with a smile.
…
In the middle of the night, outside the main courtyard of the East Mansion, there was already a lot of noise.
Hua Changjue had just stood up when he heard Butler Fu knocking on the door outside.
"Master, something happened to the master and the second young master of the West Mansion! The old lady wants you to go over there!"
Hua Changjue was about to reply when he was stopped by Jiang.
"Go tell the old lady that the master has to go to court soon, there is no time to waste!"
Butler Fu agreed and quickly left.
Hua Changjue packed everything up, but still held Jiang hostage with a worried look on his face.
"Everything will be discussed after I come back!"
Jiang nodded.
Hua Changjue turned around and kissed Hua Qingqing who was sleeping soundly before he strode away.
As soon as Hua Changjue left, Liang came running over angrily.
He started cursing as soon as he entered the room! His words were a bit incoherent! He was obviously anxious and angry!
"It's really unfair. My master and Yang'er are both in prison, but you guys in the East Mansion are just fine, acting like nothing happened!"
"At this moment, the old lady is ill, so I asked my second brother to go and see her! But she never showed up! What a shame!"
"My poor master, my child, if he knew that the old lady was ill, he would definitely come here!"
Jiang didn't indulge her anymore and went out directly, closing the door behind her, fearing that Qingqing would be disturbed.
"Sister-in-law is so rude! My Duke goes to court every day at yin hour! Could it be that you are not the same?"
"Did you make the Duke miss the court session? Going to visit the old lady? If His Majesty blames us, will the old lady be able to bear the consequences?"
Liang choked. Her master was a fifth-rank official and only attended court occasionally, so she really had forgotten about it.
Jiang is saying that her master holds a low official position! How infuriating!
Wait till the future, when the master becomes a duke, he will be able to attend court every day!
Jiang continued.
"What happened to Big Brother? Why are they in jail? Why is it like this all of a sudden? Did they commit a crime?"
Liang pursed her lips and sneered, "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. The master and Yang'er were framed!"
At this time, a servant hurried in.
"It's bad, it's bad, Madam. People outside are saying that Master Lingyang of the West Mansion is a homosexual. He got jealous over a man and ended up killing him!"
"The one who died was the eldest son of the second branch of Duke Xiao's family!"
Everyone in the yard was shocked and unbelievable.
Liang was so angry and anxious that she slapped the servant in the face.
"You bastard, who told you to talk nonsense here? How dare you make up stories about your master!"
The servant's eyes turned red with grievance.
"It's not me who said it, it's the neighbors and people passing by who are talking about it!"
Liang's eyes turned red with anger. "Take him away and beat this ignorant slave!"
Just as her people were about to move, Jiang's people had already pulled the servant aside.
Liang said fiercely.
"My sister-in-law is protecting this slave?"
Jiang smiled and waved her hand.
"Sister-in-law, why are you angry with the servants? It's just making people look down on your status!"
After saying this, he looked at the servant again.
"You go down!"
Liang was furious! But this was the East Palace after all, and no one would listen to her.
"Didn't you say the old lady is sick? Then I'll go over with my sister-in-law to take a look!"
Jiang was about to leave when the door suddenly opened a crack and Qingqing poked her head out. She called out softly.
"Mom!" he said, rubbing his eyes.
Jiang felt sorry for Qingqing and held her in her arms, kissing her little face.
"Mom is going to go out for a while, can you wait for her in the room?"
Qingqing was half asleep and held Jiang's neck tightly.
"No, mother, hug me!"
[Mother is going to see that old woman, I want to protect her! ]
Jiang was deeply moved when she heard her thoughts, and she felt relieved from the discomfort in her heart.
She simply carried Hua Qingqing along with her. They had to face it anyway. Taking Qingqing along, maybe there would be some incredible discoveries.
Before daybreak, everyone was heading towards the West Palace, holding lanterns.
As soon as I arrived at the old lady's yard in the West Mansion, I heard the sound of something falling to the ground and breaking.
"What a damn thing! Die, die, all of you die!" The old lady cursed.
Jiang knew that the person was probably talking about her family, so she pretended not to hear anything and walked in holding Qingqing.
When the old lady saw her, her eyes flickered and she suddenly burst into tears.
"Second brother's wife, you're here! Hey! It's good that you're here, please think of a solution for this old woman!"
"Your elder brother and Yang'er have both been arrested! I don't know what the situation is now!"
"Second son's wife, you should think of a solution quickly and go to the government office to ask what the current situation is!"
Jiang sneered in her heart.
This old woman wanted me to use the title of the Duke's wife and send someone to the government office to ask. She also wanted me to pay money. It was a very nice idea.
Jiang frowned, feeling very embarrassed.
"Old Madam, you may not know that a few days ago, the case of my niece was also tried in the government office. Yesterday morning, Xuan'er was poisoned again!"
The old lady's eyes flickered.
Jiang ignored their weird expressions and continued helplessly.
"Both cases are under investigation! I've sent people there many times and contacted many people! But to no avail!"
"Later, Lord Yu's subordinates brought a message saying that they don't want anyone to abuse their power for personal gain anymore!" After saying that, she sighed helplessly.
