Chapter 17: Taken to the Water Prison



Jiang Dinglian frowned slightly and looked at Xu with a helpless expression. "Madam, Yin Qianqian saved my life, and I will never forget this kindness. Please forgive her for now. I promise that she will never appear in your sight again."

Yin Qianqian knelt beside Jiang Dinglian with a provocative smile on her lips.

Look, your husband, even though he knew that I faked the pregnancy to frame you, still chose to stand on my side.

Xu was so angry that her head was splitting with pain, and she slapped the man loudly with her hand.

"Yin Qianqian!"

Xu was extremely annoyed with her, and then raised her hand and slapped Jiang Dinglian hard.

Onlookers Jiang Songyi and Doctor Zhang couldn't help but smile in gloating manner.

[The fight was brilliant, and so satisfying! Why should my mother be the one to repay that so-called life-saving favor? Jiang Dinglian is truly shameless. Tsk, what normal person would allow their life-saver to become their concubine?]

Jiang Dinglian couldn't help but argue, "Husband and wife are one. Xu, can't we show some understanding for each other and give Yin Qianqian a place to stay?"

Xu's head was splitting with pain, and her temper was getting more and more angry. "When have you ever been tolerant of me? Every time your Yin Qianqian framed me, wasn't it me who was grounded?"

Jiang Dinglian stared at Xu with his ink-black eyes, as if he wanted to refute, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

The atmosphere between the couple was extremely tense, as if it was about to explode into a fierce quarrel.

However, at this critical moment, they heard Jiang Songyi's voice again -

[Hurry up and start arguing. The bigger the better. Ideally, it will end in divorce! My family is about to face a catastrophic disaster. I'm going to take my mother and move far away. Hahaha~]

Both of them were stunned.

What does it mean that the Hou family was wiped out? What secrets does Song Yi hold?

Although I know there's a misunderstanding between you two, that Father mistakenly believes Mother has been passing intelligence to the Hou Mansion's political enemies, and that Mother mistakenly believes Yin Xixi is Father's sweetheart, and even that there's a real relationship between them, and that the couple doesn't communicate well, I won't help you clear up the misunderstanding. I just want Father to completely break Mother's heart, and for Mother to leave this suffocating Hou Mansion with me.

Hearing this, Xu frowned slightly.

She could sense Song Yi's protectiveness towards her, but having just returned to the mansion, why did Song Yi harbor such deep hostility towards Jiang Dinglian? Was there someone behind the scenes manipulating her, exploiting her daughter's distress to achieve her goals? The mystery of the Hou Mansion's extermination left her with doubts.

Jiang Dinglian was almost furious at Jiang Songyi's words.

This evil creature! He personally brought her back to the mansion, and she was so ungrateful!

He would rather let her die outside than betray her like this!

"Ah, my sinful father, although you have never been unfaithful to my mother, and taking in Yin Qianqian was out of generosity and kindness, please do not blame me for exposing the rift in our relationship. In my past life, you mistakenly believed slander, labeled me a traitor, and personally pushed me into the abyss of death."

Jiang Songyi's inner voice was like a low murmur in the cold wind. Jiang Dinglian, who was originally burning with anger, suddenly stood still as if frozen. All his anger was swallowed up by a cold wave, and was replaced by a bone-chilling chill.

He turned his head blankly, staring at the girl beside him who was as dazzling as the midday sun. It felt as if countless sharp thorns were piercing his heart, and the pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Even when he was on the battlefield, facing the enemy's arrows, he had never felt such suffocating pain.

In his previous life, did he accidentally kill his own daughter?

How is this possible?

Although he was often irritated by his naughty daughter and even thought about leaving her to fend for herself, those were just angry words. After all, he owed her too much, how could he really ignore her?

Although his daughter was naughty, there was no way he could do anything to her... After all, she was the child he had longed for and had finally found.

However...if all the evidence of treason was placed before him, and when the Great Yan Dynasty was in crisis, could he really bear the pain of giving up his love and killing his relatives for the sake of justice?

Jiang Dinglian didn't dare to think too much.

Mrs. Xu hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.

Although she didn't know what happened to her daughter in her previous life, she was afraid of losing her as much as she was afraid of losing her life.

Jiang Songyi felt the wetness on her mother's shoulder and turned back curiously to ask, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom is fine."

Jiang Songyi hugged her tightly, glaring at Jiang Dinglian with a dagger-like gaze: "Could it be that she's so angry at this unscrupulous father that she's bursting into tears? This bastard, in his past life, failed to protect my mother, causing her to be brutally murdered, one thing he couldn't do, but in this life, he's actually bullying my mother for a spy from an enemy nation with ulterior motives?"

Jiang Dinglian stood there, even feeling the urge to ask directly: How did Xu die tragically in her previous life? Wasn't Yin Qianqian the widow of that loyal hero? How could she be a spy from the enemy nation?

However, thinking of Jiang Songyi's attitude towards him, he knew that even if he asked, he would not get any answers. It was very likely that after he could hear her inner voice, she would not even think about these things in her heart anymore.

Yin Qianqian watched Jiang Dinglian and Xu Shi confront each other for a long time without any quarrel, so she took the opportunity to act coquettishly and jealously: "My Lord, this is all my fault. If Madam wants to punish me, let her do it. I only ask that you show mercy and leave me a glimmer of hope. I will be grateful."
