"Shut up! My eldest sister-in-law is my mother. If anything had happened to that pregnant woman just now, I would have personally sent you to the government office and had you beaten with a stick and put in jail. You'll learn your lesson!"
"Hahaha, send me to the government office?"
Zhou Huaian pointed at himself, as if he had heard some huge joke.
"Alright, if you have the guts, go call the officers and soldiers over here right now. I want to see who among them is so bold as to send the brother of a mighty general to jail and be beaten!"
Zhou Huaian's arrogant look and tone made everyone angry.
But they were all ordinary people and did not dare to provoke Zhou Huaian easily, so they could only grit their teeth and swallow it.
Jiang Jingyu walked towards Zhou Huaian with a sullen face, and stopped in front of him.
Zhou Huaian covered his stomach and stepped back unconsciously: "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Jingyu looked down at him and said in a deep voice, "You are so arrogant and conceited, even though you haven't been conferred the title of general yet, and you are using your brother, the mighty general, to act so arrogantly. Once you are conferred the title of general, won't you rebel?"
"Zhou Huaian, remember this: if a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. Don't even mention that you're the general's brother. Even if you're a royal relative, if you do something wrong, you'll still be punished according to the law!"
"Make way, everyone, make way!"
As Jiang Jingyu uttered the last word, a team of soldiers rushed over from behind the crowd.
Someone had reported the matter to the authorities as early as when Zhou Huaian stopped the pregnant woman on the street. When the officers and soldiers rushed over, they just happened to hear Zhou Huaian reveal his identity as the younger brother of the mighty general.
Just as the officers and soldiers were hesitating whether to move forward, Jiang Jingyu's words came out from the crowd.
The sentence that a prince is subject to the same punishment as a commoner when breaking the law completely dispelled the doubts of the officers and soldiers.
Hearing the voices of the officers and soldiers, the people hurriedly stepped aside to make way.
The leading officer stood in front of Zhou Huaian and said, "Someone has reported you for robbing a woman on the street. Come with us."
After the officer finished speaking, he made a gesture, and soon two officers and soldiers walked up to Zhou Huaian and lifted him up.
Zhou Huaian was startled and struggled hard: "Let me go, let me go! I am the younger brother of the mighty general. If you dare to catch me, you will die!"
The officers and soldiers ignored Zhou Huaian's shouting and dragged him to the yamen.
At this time, the two men who sent the pregnant woman to the clinic ran back panting and stopped in front of Jiang Jingyu.
"She's been sent to the clinic. The doctor said it was just a miscarriage. She just needs some rest. It's nothing serious!"
Jiang Jingyu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much. I'll go to any of the Jiang family's shops later and get five taels of silver. This will be my way of thanking you two brothers for making this trip."
After Jiang Jingyu finished speaking, she left from the side, leaving everyone with their eyes wide open in shock.
"Five, five taels of silver?!"
"The young master of the Jiang Mansion is so generous!"
"Hehe, this trip is worth it!"
When everyone came to their senses, Jiang Jingyu was gone.
"It's true that the common people understand the common people best! What the young master said just now really hit the mark!"
"Who says it isn't true? The second young master of the general's mansion usually bullies others by relying on his status as the general's younger brother. Now, someone finally stands up and teaches him a lesson!"
"Well, so what? The mighty general will be conferred a title soon, I'm afraid he'll be released in a couple of days!"
"If he really becomes the brother of a mighty general, won't he have to walk sideways in the future?"
Everyone was talking at once, expressing their dissatisfaction with Zhou Huaian's behavior.
At that time, Zuixianlou.
A man stood at the second-floor window, taking in everything that had just happened.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a sinister smile: "Zhou Huaiqian, Zhou Huaiqian, let me catch you this time."
The man waved his folding fan and ordered the servant behind him, "Go and make this a big deal and add fuel to the fire for our mighty general who is about to take office."
…
The perfumer had been trying for a long time to create the fragrance that matched Jiang Jingyu's body, but failed. Just as he was feeling frustrated, someone came from the palace.
It turned out that the Queen Mother was excited when she learned that Song Wenjing did not reject a woman's approach because of the fragrance on her body, and wanted to let the perfumer bring the prepared incense into the palace as soon as possible.
So he sent someone to urge him.
The perfumer failed to create an incense with exactly the same scent, so he had to let the people in the palace take away several incenses with similar scents that he had created.
As expected, Song Wenjing rejected several types of incense as soon as they were lit.
Although these incense smells good, they are different from the subtle fragrance emanating from her body.
The hope that had ignited in the Queen Mother's heart faded again, and she could only order the perfumer to continue making incense.
Truth cannot be hidden. Zhou Huaiqian heard about the evil things Zhou Huaian had done as soon as he came back from the training ground.
Now this matter has become a hot topic. Lin Xiaoniang's husband, who had a miscarriage, beat the drum to protest and sued Zhou Huaian to the government.
If Jiang Jingyu had not appeared in time to stop Zhou Huaian and had not sent Lin Xiaoniang to the clinic in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
It is not impossible that there will be two lives lost in one corpse.
Now, everyone in the imperial city is saying that Zhou Huaian has been relying on his general brother's status to do evil, act tyrannically, and oppress the people.
He also said that people like Zhou Huaian who had no respect for the law were not worthy of being the sons of officials, etc. Zhou Huaiqian's forehead veins bulged and his eyebrows twitched when he heard these remarks!
"What on earth is going on?!"
Zhou Huaiqian shouted sternly, and the guard beside him hurriedly said, "General, I'll go check it out right away!"
These remarks were so powerful that even Zhou Huaiqian couldn't stop them.
Zhou Huaiqian was furious when he returned home. He scolded all the maids and servants who were guarding Zhou Huaian. Even Zhang could not escape his scolding.
