Chapter 28 Small Punishment and Big Commandment
"I dare not."
Jiang Shouye glanced at his wife coldly, and his wife immediately turned around and scolded Mother Wang.
"A servant dares to do this. I think he has been bullying others in the mansion. Naturally, he doesn't take our Xuanping Marquis Mansion seriously."
Xie Lingyun's cold tone was suggestive.
Mrs. Jiang was embarrassed and shook her sleeves with a cold face.
"It's because I indulge you too much that you, a servant, can't tell the time and talk nonsense. Mother Wang, slap yourself."
Mother Wang dared not disobey, so she knelt down and slapped herself in the mouth.
With so many masters watching her, and the young master of Xuanping Hou also present, she couldn't be lazy at all.
But after a few strokes, the face that had finally swelled up started swelling again.
She has to keep beating until her master stops.
Jiang Guiyu was worried, but didn't dare to say anything at this critical moment.
My eldest sister had just had an accident, so how could she have alarmed the Imperial Concubine in the palace? She even asked Prince Xie to bring the imperial physician?
She looked towards Jiang Mingyang and saw Jiang Shouye glaring at him and warning him, so he, who always liked to take the lead, could only stand aside obediently.
Sensing her uneasiness, Mrs. Jiang whispered comforting words again.
Suddenly, Xie Lingyun sneered.
"Mrs. Jiang and Miss Jiang have a deep mother-daughter relationship, but Madam, have you forgotten that your own daughter is lying here and is about to die?"
The last few words were emphasized, and the Jiang family members felt ashamed.
Mrs. Jiang kept wiping her tears, looking worried and sad.
She was so sad that she could only hear Jiang Guiyu speak softly:
"Your Highness, you don't know that it was Sister Qingyue who carelessly asked Big Sister to take medicine, causing Big Sister to vomit blood and become ill. Parents only gave her a minor punishment."
Oh.
A light laugh came from Xie Lingyun.
He looked at Jiang Guiyu coldly with disdain.
"He's about to be beaten to death, and this is called a minor punishment? So this is the Jiang family's rules."
Suddenly, the Jiang family members all looked different. Jiang Guiyu lowered his head, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed softly, not daring to say anything more.
Jiang Qingyue's vision became increasingly blurry, but she seemed to hear a cold and stern voice that sounded familiar to her.
She stretched out her hand to grab it, but her fingers only lifted up briefly before falling down weakly.
Before her consciousness faded, she seemed to hear someone shouting.
"The young lady is awake."
After her heart was relieved, Jiang Qingyue, who could no longer hold on, fainted.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They really didn't dare to stand with Master Xie, who was surrounded by coldness. The whole family entered Jiang Wanyin's boudoir in an orderly manner.
After a while, Xie Lingyun was the only one left in the yard.
Mother Wang slapped herself so hard that she could taste the blood in her mouth.
Seeing her master go in, she also wanted to go in. However, just as she started to move, she caught a glimpse of Xie Lingyun's murderous eyes, and suddenly shuddered.
"Keep fighting, who told you to stop?"
Xie Lingyun was born with nobility, and just one sentence scared Mother Wang so much that she quickly knelt down and slapped him again, each time with greater force.
"Miss!"
Que'er knelt and crawled to Jiang Qingyue's side, looking at her bloody back, hating herself for not being able to take the punishment for her.
"My Lord, please call a doctor for my young lady. She is dying."
"Please, my prince, save my young lady!"
Que'er knelt down and kowtowed, his forehead hitting the ground hard, and his head was broken in just a few hits.
Xie Lingyun walked up to Jiang Qingyue, bent down, stared at the sleeping face for a moment, and suddenly frowned.
He won’t die, will he?
After checking his breath and finding that the person was still breathing, Xie Lingyun actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Doctor Qian just came out, and Xie Lingyun told him to follow him to Qingfeng Garden to treat Jiang Qingyue first.
Mrs. Jiang was the first one to come out among the Jiang family members. She wanted to speak, but Xie Lingyun started questioning first.
"Why, she can't even go back to her own yard? Are they going to throw her out of the house or lock her up in the woodshed?"
Mrs. Jiang's heart tightened and she apologized repeatedly.
But he was also surprised and suspicious. This was what Jiang Shouye had said before, but how did Xie Lingyun know it?
"Be careful, don't hurt my lady."
Que'er cried out several nervous instructions.
Mrs. Jiang looked over and saw that Jiang Qingyue had been taken back, and the man brought by Xie Lingyun who claimed to be the imperial physician also went with them.
He withdrew his gaze, but no matter where he looked, all he could see was Jiang Qingyue's blood-stained clothes.
"Madam, I heard that you also invited an imperial physician. I wonder which physician it is. He is so arrogant and still hasn't come out to answer this prince."
"Your Highness, please calm down. My daughter Guiyu has had a coughing fit and the imperial physician is treating her."
Xie Lingyun sneered again, and Mrs. Jiang's heart was in suspense.
He was a young general, with great achievements at a young age, and he was also the son of Marquis Xuanping, so no one dared to offend him.
I heard that he is unruly and cruel.
With that just now, was it because their Jiang family had done something to displease the young master?
"Jiang Guiyu, an adopted daughter, coughed a few times and you acted like the sky was falling. Jiang Qingyue, a biological daughter, was beaten to death, and you just watched coldly. I even had to call the doctor. Madam Jiang, aren't you too biased?"
Mrs. Jiang was horrified. Jiang Shouye came out at the right time, apologized first, and then spoke in a cold tone.
"Wanyin is seriously ill. The Jiang family is grateful to the Imperial Concubine for her concern, but regarding Jiang Qingyue, she did make a mistake."
"Master Jiang, have you checked it carefully?"
Jiang Shouye was stunned.
Xie Lingyun's eyes darkened slightly. "Lord Jiang is also an official appointed by the court. You can't just ignore the case and judge it. Can't you just take someone's life based on a few words? Jiang Qingyue has no one to rely on, and she poisoned her eldest sister right after returning. This prince can't understand it, and I don't know what she is up to."
That’s all. He looked at the Jiang family again.
"You should keep an eye on your daughter who has been coughing since she was a child and can never be cured. Don't run into other people's houses for no reason. Miss Jiang is the future daughter-in-law of the Imperial Concubine. Her status is noble and cannot be taken lightly. Don't let Miss Jiang be infected with bad luck again."
Jiang Guiyu in the room was shaking with anger.
He was using the elder sister's incident to talk about their visit to the Marquis Xuanping's residence yesterday, openly calling her an unlucky person.
Jiang Guiyu, who had been pampered since childhood, had never suffered such humiliation. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Jiang Wanyin was awake but completely powerless. She could only lean on Mother Xu and didn't even have the strength to raise her hands.
Mother Xu had a cold face and kicked them out.
Jiang Mingyang picked up Jiang Guiyu without saying a word and walked out quickly.
Seeing this, Jiang Shouye and his wife outside the door also anxiously followed to Yuehuaxuan.
The imperial physician who was invited took advantage of the chaos and followed over, but he didn't dare to look Xie Lingyun in the eye from beginning to end.
After Doctor Qian finished examining Jiang Qingyue and left the Jiang residence, he bowed and walked to the carriage of the Marquis' residence that had been waiting not far away.
