The emperor was almost irritated by her address, but now was not the time to dwell on it.
He casually waved outside, and soon several men came in and tied up the person on the ground.
Liu Cheng did not resist at all. This woman was too cruel. She hit him so hard, it seemed like she was really going to take his life.
Now that I'm being taken away by these people, maybe I can still survive.
But he had many injuries on his body, and even though he was relieved, he still fainted after all.
Just as they tied up Liu Cheng, a large group of people came in from outside, including maids, servants and old women.
The Shangshu's wife also came. She walked in front of everyone else and said that she came to see what Rong Xi needed so that she could buy it for her.
But only she and a few people around her knew that the main purpose of her coming here was to catch the adulterer and let everyone see what she had done.
They also came at the right time, just to watch this good show, but they couldn't see it. When they saw the emperor, they were so scared that they knelt down and kowtowed on the spot.
At first, she was not sure that the man was the emperor. After all, she did not see the emperor often. With her status, she could only have the opportunity to see the emperor during the palace banquets during the holidays.
"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."
All the servants were confused by the lady's actions. They just saw the lady kneeling down, and they naturally knelt on the ground as well.
Everyone chanted in unison: "Long live His Majesty!"
The emperor did not let them get up, but sat down on a chair inside, warming himself by the warm charcoal basin, waiting for the person to be beheaded.
The person he was waiting for soon received the news and was rushing home. The news he received was that Jiang Rongxi was caught having an affair with someone at home, and he was asked to go back to take charge of the situation.
He just felt ashamed and made up his mind to kill this idiot.
But when Keren was halfway there, a servant from his house came again with news that the emperor had arrived and asked him to go back quickly.
He was a little skeptical. This man was indeed a servant in the family, and his expression was not deceptive. His heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that His Majesty knew about that idiot's affairs? That shouldn't be the case. Even if he knew that this was his family affair, why would he avoid it?
Although he didn't figure it out, he still rushed back to the mansion without stopping. He was soon taken to Jiang Rongxi's yard. From a distance, he could see a group of people kneeling in the yard. It seemed that His Majesty was really here.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
"Master Jiang, please explain to me what is going on."
Jiang Heng glanced at his wife, trying to read something from her face, but she avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look at him.
Looking at Liu Cheng, who was beaten like a pig's head and tied up, he probably guessed something.
"Your Majesty, this courtyard is simple and unassuming. Why don't you follow me to the main hall?"
.
It started to drizzle outside, and drops of water from the gutter dripped from the beams of the main hall like a curtain.
Several servants were carrying charcoal braziers and walking forward with their heads lowered. Knowing who was coming today, no one dared to look up.
At this time, the Jiang couple were kneeling on the ground, and even Jiang Rongwan and Jiang Rongyuan, who heard the news, came over and knelt behind them.
It was also the first time for both of them to see the emperor. They originally thought that the emperor was in his thirties, with an unshaven beard and fat and greasy. But seeing him today changed their minds.
Even Jiang Rongwan, who was already engaged, couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart. She quietly looked at the man sitting at the table, thinking to herself.
"Your Majesty not only possesses such an outstanding appearance, but is also the most powerful person in the world."
She knew very well that she was already engaged and could not be easily moved, but her heart was involuntarily attracted to this man.
How could the emperor not notice the look in his eyes? His face was full of disgust. Although this woman was pretty, she was obviously a person with a lot on her mind.
Jiang Heng was also looking around. From the beginning, he had not seen where that rebellious girl was. Today's incident was caused by that rebellious girl, and he had to explain it to His Majesty.
But His Majesty's face was already very bad. If he waited any longer, His Majesty might get angry, so he organized his words in his mind and spoke.
"Your Majesty, such a scandal should not have disturbed your peace, but it has already happened, and there is nothing I can do."
Seeing that he still didn't understand the purpose of his visit this time, the emperor began to ask.
"Then, my dear, could you please tell me what kind of shameful thing this is?"
"this……"
Jiang Heng hesitated for a long time before telling the whole story.
"Your Majesty, my fourth daughter has been missing for a few days. My whole family has searched everywhere for her but there is no trace of her.
However, she suddenly returned home yesterday. A woman's reputation is so important, so I think she must have done something indecent during her time away.
After discussing with her mother, I decided to find her a good family, but this rebellious girl has not been found until now, and she even injured Liu Cheng. I have not disciplined her well enough, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Rong Xi was sitting aside cracking melon seeds when her father suddenly spoke to her. She froze in place halfway through her cracking.
No, she was such a grown-up sitting here, but he didn't notice her at all. Could it be that she was dressed too brightly today? But didn't she just take a shower?
In the end she came to the conclusion that this old man didn't know her at all.
The Shangshu's wife next to him wanted to remind him, but now she didn't dare to move. She just hoped that her husband would look at her and accept her hint, but he didn't.
Rong Xi also became interested at this time. He threw the melon seeds in his hand into the plate and stood up.
"Master Jiang, you said your little daughter disappeared for a few days. Have you ever asked her what she experienced outside?"
Jiang Heng looked up at the woman. Although she looked familiar, he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
"Well, Xiaguan is busy with official duties and hasn't had time to ask."
"Oh? Then how do you know she has already lost her reputation and virginity outside?"
"Well, she disappeared for a few days. If she wasn't out fooling around, what else could she be doing?"
"So you just casually found a man like this for her. Do you know that Liu Cheng is a widower?"
"So what if she's a widower? She did such a shameful thing herself, and it's a blessing for her that someone still wants her."
Rong Xi was so angry that he laughed. It turned out that from the beginning to the end, he had always known what kind of person Liu Cheng was. The original owner was still making excuses for him at that time, thinking that he might not be clear about what kind of person Liu Cheng was.
"Master Jiang, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. You are truly unworthy of being a father."
Jiang Heng was certain that this person was definitely not the emperor's concubine, or the daughter of some high-ranking official, so he spoke without restraint.
"Miss, this is my family affair, you have no right to interfere."
