If he had the same military power as Jiang Dinglian and was deeply favored by the emperor, how dare they slander and talk about him so brazenly?
He was extremely resentful towards Jiang Dinglian who had devalued him to nothing!
However, at this moment, he could only bow his head and admit his mistake: "Brother, it's my fault."
He hugged Jiang Shu tightly, knelt on the ground, his eyes full of guilt: "It's my fault that I didn't protect Ah Shu well."
Jiang Dinglian stood in front of Hao Ren with great momentum and ordered in a deep voice: "Cuiying, take Ah Shu back to the mansion."
"Yes, sir." Cuiying was originally Jiang Shu's personal guard assigned by Jiang Dinglian. Upon hearing the Marquis's order, she immediately followed it.
Jiang Dinglian then turned around, glanced at Hao Ren with a sharp gaze, and kicked him mercilessly with such force that everyone around him was shocked.
"Hao Ren, you once swore solemnly that you would never let my sister suffer even the slightest injustice in your life. Unexpectedly, today, you condoned the adultery of your concubines and the women outside, almost causing my sister to end up with a tragic death!"
Hao Ren was kicked to the ground, his rage boiling like a volcano, yet he had to suppress it, not daring to offer any resistance. Instead, he raised his hand high and slapped himself hard, saying bitterly, "Brother, your teachings are absolutely correct. It's all my fault. I will immediately send them to the nunnery to become nuns. I pray for Ah Shu's well-being day after day. I only ask that you allow me to stay by her side. She just had a miscarriage and is exhausted both physically and mentally. She needs care."
Although Liao didn't say a word, she already knew in her heart that Hao Ren's move was just a temporary measure and she was not moved by it.
She held two trump cards in her hands: Liao Lingxi, the only male heir in the Duke of Huguo's mansion, and Jiang Yuyao, the destined daughter of the Phoenix. Hao Ren dared not ignore her no matter what.
Xia Zhiyu was in a state of panic. "Cousin, this is absolutely not my fault! I was taken into the mansion by the Madam. The restoration of my appearance is a gift from the Madam. I am extremely grateful. How could I harm her? Besides, the Madam relies entirely on me to serve her. The Duke's Mansion cannot do without me for any affairs, big or small."
Hao Ren couldn't help but frown and said coldly: "Shut up!"
This foolish man not only carefully planned today's drama, but also failed to understand his emergency plan.
At this moment, begging for mercy was clearly not a wise move. Jiang Dinglian was in a rage, and even those around him did not dare to offend him easily.
Jiang Dinglian's gaze was as cold as ice as he swept over them coldly, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, "Ling Ji!"
He was about to order Ling Ji to shave Xia Zhiyu and Liao's hair, but at this moment he accidentally caught Jiang Songyi's inner voice.
Sending them both to a nunnery to become nuns? It was simply to protect Liao and his cousin, with the plan to bring them back after the storm had passed. In my opinion, it would be better to make a big deal out of this, send them both to the authorities, and wait until Jiang Shu filed for a divorce. This would allow Jiang Shu to break up with Hao Ren.
When Jiang Dinglian heard that Jiang Shu was willing to file for divorce, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Back when Jiang Shu was getting married, he had no fondness for Hao Ren, a man with a silver tongue and a gorgeous appearance. Unfortunately, Jiang Shu was stubborn and insisted on marrying Hao Ren. He only had this one sister, so he could only indulge her.
He always thought that he held military power and was far more powerful than Hao Ren. With him around, Hao Ren would never dare to be disrespectful to his sister.
Ever since he learned from Song Yi's inner voice and his mother's words about Hao Ren's ambition for the Marquis' Mansion and his disgusting actions, he has always wanted to separate Jiang Shu from Hao Ren. However, he is also worried that Jiang Shu will be deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself.
Since Jiang Shu has already thought about divorce, he no longer needs to worry about anything.
Jiang Dinglian gave the order in a stern tone, "Ling Ji, immediately escort Xia Zhiyu and Liao to the government office and file a lawsuit!"
Hao Ren looked at him in surprise and called out in confusion, "Brother!"
Although Jiang Dinglian has always been quite protective of his family's shortcomings, when facing his younger sister Jiang Shu, he can often restrain himself and avoid making family disputes public.
Faced with the current awkward situation, Hao Ren said with a guilty conscience, "This is ultimately a private family affair. I will handle it fairly. If it were to be brought to the attention of the authorities, I'd be embarrassed."
However, Jiang Dinglian didn't care about Hao Ren's reputation at all. He decisively ordered his servant Ling Ji to lead his entourage to take the people away, and sternly snorted, "Hao Ren, this dispute is far from over. Not only will I hand them over to the authorities, but I will also expose your crimes to the emperor! Just wait and see!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned away.
Jiang Songyi also followed in his footsteps contentedly.
In her previous life, many misfortunes were caused by the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. Now, seeing the hypocrite Hao Ren in trouble, she felt extremely happy.
…
Yongding Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Shu was carried back to the mansion covered in blood. When Mrs. Jiang heard the news, she invited the imperial physician early in the morning to take care of Jiang Shu's weakened body after the miscarriage.
Although the old lady had already anticipated that the fetus in Jiang Shu's belly would be difficult to save, she still couldn't help but feel pity when she saw her haggard and pale appearance.
The three sisters Hao Qingzhi also took care of Jiang Shu themselves, washing her body and changing her clothes.
Jiang Yuyao had naturally heard about the huge changes in the mansion, and she specially stewed ginseng soup to come and show her flattery.
Seeing Jiang Shu still sleeping in the bedroom and the room was crowded, she handed the ginseng soup to Hao Qingzhi and said gently, "Cousin Qingzhi, this is the ginseng soup I made specially for your aunt. Your aunt is in poor health after her miscarriage and needs a warming and nourishing soup like this."
