Chapter 36: Falling out

Because the college was on holiday, Jiang Yuansheng was also there.

"Grandfather, although my father holds an official position, he has been left idle at home by the emperor and has not been summoned yet. He cannot speak in front of the emperor. Besides, this matter was decided by the emperor himself, and no one can help." Jiang Yuansheng explained.

Jiang Yuansheng was shocked to know what his grandfather and the second branch had done to his parents and grandfather.

For so many years, my parents have been living under their deception.

Thinking of the final fate of his brothers and sister, and the wolf-hair brush that once made him so happy, Jiang Yuansheng felt only hatred for Duke Anguo.

Wu Cuirou suddenly remembered something.

She said firmly: "Yesterday, Jiang Yuanxi followed the prince to the palace. She must be able to talk to the emperor." Wu Cuirou was desperate and tried every possible means to seek medical help.

Chen protected her daughter tightly.

"Yuan Xi is just a child who can't even speak clearly, what can she say!"

Jiang Fengyuan spoke indifferently, "Dad, because of this incident, Duke Li's family was confiscated and executed. Hui'er gave false testimony, but fortunately he repented in time. The emperor did not punish him severely, and he will be released soon."

Seeing the eldest wife acting so superior, Jiang Qisheng felt so angry that his teeth ached.

"Brother, the emperor sentenced Hui'er to six months in prison, but the imperial examination is coming soon. If Hui'er stays in there, how can he study? For the sake of Hui'er being your nephew, please save him."

"If you don't agree, I will kneel down for you."

Jiang Qisheng spoke with great emotion and pretended to kneel down.

[Why don’t you kneel down! ] Jiang Yuanxi urged anxiously.

Jiang Fengyuan wanted to stop him, but when he heard his daughter's words, he stopped moving.

He wanted to see if the second branch could bring itself to do this.

Jiang Qisheng knelt down awkwardly, but Jiang Fengyuan didn't stop him.

He looked up and met Jiang Fengyuan's teasing eyes.

He gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground.

"Sheng'er!" The old lady exclaimed. How could her son kneel down to that woman's son!

"Jiang Fengyuan! You ungrateful thing, are you going to force your brother to death?"

Jiang Fengyuan suddenly stood up and looked down at the two of them.

"Is this what you call ungratefulness?"

At that time, his parents asked him to help Jiang Qisheng find a job.

But he was only a fifth-rank official at the time, and for his brother's position, Jiang Fengyuan knelt to all the ministers who could kneel.

In the end, only the parents said, "Sheng'er will definitely do better than the eldest brother."

After much difficulty in getting an official position, Jiang Qisheng found an excuse to resign within less than half a month.

There are countless examples like this.

He has done his best towards the second house, the Duke of Anguo, and the old lady.

It’s a pity that these people are never satisfied!

Duke Anguo said angrily: "He is your brother, this is your responsibility as a brother!"

Jiang Fengyuan glanced at the group of people. If it weren’t for Yuan Xi, he would still not know the hypocritical face of this family.

He sneered: "Then have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a father?"

From childhood to adulthood, he has never had fatherly love.

In my memory, my father was the only one who rolled his eyes.

The old lady was so shocked that she stood there.

Jiang Qisheng swallowed.

The eldest brother actually questioned his father again.

In contrast, the other people in the first house remained silent and glared at Duke Anguo.

It seemed like an accusation of the injustice that the eldest wife had endured for so many years.

[Daddy, you’re right!] Jiang Yuanxi almost raised his hands and feet and clapped his hands.

Give daddy another dear kiss.

[Hypocritical people don’t need sympathy. The more sympathy you get, the more arrogant they become.]

Hearing his daughter's praise, Jiang Fengyuan straightened his back.

[If Daddy turns around and leaves right now, Grandfather will definitely faint from anger, hahahaha.]

There is such a good thing!

The three sons looked at Jiang Fengyuan one by one, as if urging him to leave.

Jiang Fengyuan thought so too, he waved his sleeves and left.

Chen also left.

When he reached the door, Jiang Fengyuan suddenly turned around.

With a cold expression, he said, "Father, I can reach my current position entirely because of your favoritism. You should be happy."

"You! You!" Duke Anguo pointed at Jiang Fengyuan and was speechless.

He was so angry that he fainted.

"master!"

"father!"

Listening to the sounds inside, no one stayed in the big room.

Their steps were neat, as if they were retiring after accomplishing their mission.

Jiang Yuansheng, Jiang Yuanwu and Jiang Yuancheng followed behind their parents.

Very arrogant.

Jiang Yuanxi was held by Chen, otherwise she would have had to take a few steps.

The Anguo Mansion was quiet and peaceful at night, with lanterns lit everywhere, making the way home especially bright.

Even the wind brings the smell of freedom.

The next day.

The emperor went to court and looked at the empty seat in the middle, frowning.

Throw the folded paper on the table.

The emperor asked solemnly, "Where is the Duke of Anguo?"

"Your Majesty, the Duke did not ask for leave. I heard that he fainted yesterday because of the incident with the second young master of the Jiang family."

The emperor raised his eyelids.

Fainted?!

It’s good to feel dizzy.

Without that old bastard, who would dare to take credit for old favors?

The emperor looked serious and said, "As a duke, you didn't come and didn't send anyone to the palace to inform me. You simply don't take me seriously. I will punish you with one year of service."

Eunuch Cao originally wanted to remind the emperor whether the punishment was too severe.

But when he saw the emperor's slightly raised mouth, he closed his mouth decisively.

That night, in Cangwu Courtyard.

The old lady had just helped Duke Anguo drink his medicine.

Holding Nanny Wang's hand, he went to the outer room.

"Madam," Nanny Wang picked up the teacup and handed it to her, "The court doctor said that the Duke was just angry and he will be well soon. Don't worry."
