After Jiang Jin finished doing this, he earnestly explained the pros and cons to the other party: "Young Duke, you should think this through carefully. The Second Miss not only plotted against her elder sister, but also against my future princess. I will protect Wan Ge, so nothing will happen to her, but the Duke's mansion is a different story."
Whether the Duke's mansion will be implicated depends on how the young Duke handles this matter.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall: "Your Highness, rest assured, the Duke's Mansion will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
His voice carried a hint of age, yet it possessed a remarkable weight.
The old lady entered the hall with the help of her maid. When Jiang Jin saw the old lady arrive, he also stood up.
“Since the old lady has said so, then I will believe her.” Jiang Jin was not intimidated by the old lady at all, but he showed more respect than before.
He also found out that Wan Ge had been raised by the old lady since she was a child. The old lady treated her very well, although she was somewhat strict, but she favored her. Her strictness was also for Wan Ge's future survival.
Although Jiang Jin knew he would protect Wan Ge, he had no objection to the old lady's actions.
This arrogant and haughty old lady actually bowed to Jiang Jin: "I must thank Prince Duan for saving my life. If it weren't for the prince saving my granddaughter, I don't know what I would have had to endure."
Jiang Jin quickly returned the greeting: "Madam, you are too kind. Wan Ge is my future princess consort, and it is only what I should do. Since the rest are Madam's family matters, I will take my leave now."
Jiang Jin hadn't come expecting a result; he'd only come to remind them that an answer was due. How to handle it depended on their actions. If they weren't satisfied, given the presence of the old lady, he wouldn't let it go easily.
Jiang Jin was also curious to know the extent of their favoritism and whether the Duke's Mansion still distinguished right from wrong.
However, he believed that with the old lady presiding, he would get a satisfactory answer.
To be honest, he felt that Chi Wanyue's death ten times over wouldn't be enough, but he couldn't be so ruthless. After all, he had to consider Wan Ge's feelings and the future of the Duke's mansion.
He said he could protect Wan Ge without any problem. Even if the Duke's mansion had completely fallen, with him around, no one would dare to say anything about Wan Ge.
But Wan Ge does need a family to support her, otherwise, at banquets and such, although they dare not say anything openly, who knows what they are doing behind the scenes?
In this era, there are too many restrictions on women. For most women, their fate is intertwined with that of their families, sharing both prosperity and adversity.
No, it's not just women. It's the same for many men.
…
The old lady knew that Jiang Jin had basically achieved his goal, so he was ready to leave, and she would not stop him from leaving.
So he said to Wange, "Ge'er, go and see the prince off."
Wan Ge nodded obediently and extended her hand: "Your Highness, this way please."
Jiang Jin followed the direction of his hand and walked out.
As they reached the door, Jiang Jin stopped again. He said earnestly to Wan Ge, "Wan Ge, you should know that I don't want to make a big deal out of this because of you. If you're not satisfied with how they handle it, you can tell me."
