When what people ask for is not responded to, their true ugly face is revealed.
In Jiang's father's heart, he had lost face because of Cheng, so Jiang Yi and Jiang Yuan, the children of Cheng, were his humiliation. Although they were father and son, Jiang's father would rather not have these children. Without them, he would not think of the humiliation he had suffered again and again.
He didn't spend any effort on them. He could be kind to outsiders, but not to his two children.
On the contrary, Jiang Rui was raised by his father. His father poured a lot of effort into this youngest son. Naturally, he thought that this son was the best and wanted to give Jiang Rui all the best.
Although Jiang Yi is now the Imperial Noble Consort, in the eyes of Jiang's father, she is still the daughter whom he dared not say a word to even if he had to beat or scold her, and the daughter whom he can easily marry off as a concubine.
The father is the leader of the son, and Jiang Yi should do whatever he asks him to do.
However, Jiang Yi obviously didn't think so. Endless anger surged in her heart because of her father Jiang's words.
"People in this world say that Yuan is stupid, but I didn't expect that you, his father, would say the same thing."
"You are the least qualified person to say this."
"Father, don't you know why Yuan is so stupid?"
"At that time, Jiang Rui and Yuan had an argument. Jiang Rui falsely accused Yuan of pushing him. You punished Yuan by making him kneel outside in the cold winter for a whole day and night. When Yuan fell ill, you said he was faking it. You didn't go get a doctor for Yuan, and you didn't let Grandmother get one either."
"You are the one who caused Yuan to be like this now."
"I wanted to avoid dwelling on the past for Grandmother's sake, but you, Father, keep bringing it up again and again. Do you know how angry I am now?"
"Father wants to commit suicide, so I will naturally help him."
"It would be good for Father to see whether your youngest son is really any good or not."
Before Jiang's father understood what Jiang Yi meant, he saw Jiang Yi suddenly fall to the ground holding his stomach.
The palace maid waiting outside hurried in, only to see Jiang Yi lying on the ground in great pain. She quickly went to call the emperor and the imperial physician over.
Pei Siliang heard that Jiang Yi was in trouble and hurried to Jiang Yi. His face was full of coldness. He stepped forward and shook Jiang Yi's hand. He looked at the doctor and asked, "How is it?"
Because Jiang Yuan was weak, Pei Siliang had previously assigned an imperial physician to the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, but he didn't expect that the imperial physician would be used on Jiang Yi now.
The imperial physician hurriedly said, "It's all right, but the Madam was frightened just now. She needs to rest and recuperate."
Pei Siliang then looked at Jiang's father who was kneeling below.
Father Jiang's legs were so weak that he could hardly support himself. Being looked at like this by the emperor, he wished he had never come here.
"Jiang Cheng, what have you done? If you tell me the truth, I can let you die easily."
Death? How could he die?
Jiang Cheng's face turned pale. "Your humble servant...I didn't do anything."
"Yes, father just scolded me a few words, and pushed me later. It's not a big deal. I'm just worried about the royal heir in my belly..." Jiang Yi said softly, touching her belly.
Jiang Cheng was furious. "Xiaoyi, please stop talking nonsense. When did your father ever push you?"
Pei Siliang said directly: "Jiang Cheng, do you know your identity?"
Jiang Cheng's lips trembled and he didn't dare to speak anymore.
"You first murdered the heir to the throne, and then disrespected the Imperial Concubine. However, considering you are Xiaoyi's biological father, I will leave your body intact and grant you a cup of poisoned wine."
The emperor gave the order without even raising his head.
Jiang Cheng couldn't believe it. He clearly didn't push Jiang Yi, but the emperor convicted him without even asking any questions?
Even if he pushed Jiang Yi, he was Jiang Yi's father, and Jiang Yi was not seriously injured. Why was he going to die?
Is the emperor so indiscriminate?
At this moment, Jiang's father suddenly realized that Jiang Yi was different from before. She was no longer the orphan who could be beaten and scolded by him at will. She was pregnant and was the emperor's favorite concubine.
And because he treated her so badly in the past, this daughter had no father-daughter relationship with him at all. She even hated him deeply, just as he deeply hated his two children in the past.
The palace maid came forward and tried to drag Jiang Cheng away. Jiang Cheng was frightened. He crawled to Jiang Yi and said, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please spare my life for the sake of my giving birth to you."
Jiang Yi sighed, "If you only wanted to harm me, I would naturally not bother with you, but you chose to harm the child in my belly."
"It is not up to me to decide whether to spare you or not."
These words were very high-sounding, and for a moment Jiang's father was unable to connect the current Jiang Yi with his former docile daughter.
It has changed, it has changed after all.
The strong will not always be strong, and the weak will not always be weak.
Fear made Jiang's father reflect, and he finally felt that he was wrong. Perhaps he shouldn't have treated Jiang Yi and his sister like that.
Even if he ignored them, he shouldn't abuse them.
But regret was of no use. The elegant and noble imperial concubine sitting high in the hall did not have the slightest pity in her eyes, and Jiang's father's heart sank to the bottom.
"But he is my father after all, even though he never gave birth to me and never raised me."
Father Jiang suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Jiang Yi motionlessly.
"Just spare his life, let him die in prison, or be exiled, whatever is fine."
Pei Siliang said, "Just as my beloved concubine said."
