A flash of sadness crossed Rong Xi's face, but then he looked indifferent.
"Yes, I was targeting her. I just didn't want her to have an easy life. It's because you didn't recognize me just now that you abandoned your own daughter in the backyard for so many years, letting her be beaten, scolded, and bullied without doing anything. You left her to fend for herself and live in fear at any moment."
"you……"
Jiang Heng was so angry at her for saying this in front of His Majesty that he felt no real guilt at all.
The emperor was behind Rong Xi, like her protective shield. From the moment he scolded Rong Xi, the emperor's expression was obviously displeased.
He had served in the court for so many years, so he naturally knew that His Majesty had murderous intentions.
He didn't dare to speak anymore, and Rong Xi finally stopped.
She glanced at the Shangshu's wife who was kneeling beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then put the matter aside for the time being.
Liu Cheng, who was still pretending to be unconscious on the ground, was suddenly kicked in the abdomen. He almost wanted to curse but when he thought of his current situation, he shut up.
"Rong Xi, how do you want to deal with this person?"
This question was asked by the emperor. This man had evil intentions. If he handled it himself, he could just chop off his head, but he still put the decision-making power in Rong Xi's hands.
"He, confiscate the tools used in the crime and throw them into the lowest place to continue his work."
At first, the emperor and everyone did not understand what the murder weapon Rong Xi was talking about, especially Jiang Rongwan and Jiang Rongyuan, the two young girls who had not experienced the world yet.
The first person to react was the emperor, but she didn't expect Rong Xi to say that. She coughed lightly in embarrassment and whispered instructions to the people around her.
Liu Cheng didn't know what the fourth young lady of the Jiang family was talking about. He only knew that he brought almost nothing with him when he went to her yard. It seemed that she was letting him go.
Could it be that he really intended to marry the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion to himself?
But he was quickly dragged away, and the matter came to an end.
The emperor came to Rong Xi's yard. After all, this was their family affair. As the emperor, he couldn't interfere too much. He still wanted to ask Rong Xi's opinion.
Rong Xi said nothing and asked him to go back first.
Naturally, she would not just let today's events pass without any pain. If she really did not have the system or was the original owner, today's development would not be like this. No matter how the previous changes were made, the original owner would still be calculated step by step by this stepmother and return to the old path.
After the emperor left, Jiang Heng came to her residence again and stood outside the yard without saying a word. The expression on his face was very intriguing, as if he was reminiscing about the past, or as if he was disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
Rong Xi knew it the moment he entered the yard, but she didn't open the door because she didn't want to see him today.
Jiang Heng made quite a bit of noise outside, hoping that Jiang Rongxi would open the door on her own initiative. However, after standing there for so long that her body became cold, she showed no intention of opening the door. He didn't believe that Jiang Rongxi didn't know that he was outside her door.
He was so angry that he left with a flick of his sleeves, and not long after he left, someone else came.
The person who came was Jiang Rongyuan. Today she was really frightened by His Majesty's majesty. She didn't dare to say a word since she arrived there.
It was her first time meeting His Majesty, and like Jiang Rongwan, she also dreamed of becoming the Queen.
But...how did Jiang Rongxi know His Majesty? Did she want to enter the palace? Or did something happen between her and His Majesty?
She felt like her property had been stolen and was so angry that she wanted to ask Jiang Rongxi for an explanation.
But she forgot that she was just a preliminary concubine. Not only would the emperor not choose her, but even if he did, she would never become the queen.
Rong Xi still didn't open the door, and she kept barking outside because the person she was waiting for hadn't come yet.
"Jiang Rongxi, open the door for me. Don't think I don't know you're in there. How do you know His Majesty?"
"Jiang Rongxi, if you don't open the door, I'll ask Daddy to punish you. Come out and explain yourself to me."
Rong Xi was speechless, "Jiang Rongyuan, are you stupid? I won't open the car even if your father comes."
What Rong Xi said was the truth, but Jiang Rongyuan, who was pounding on the door outside, thought she was scolding him.
She was also stupid. After encountering such a thing today, anyone with a little bit of brains would know that the last thing she should do now is go to her father and gossip about it. But she went anyway. As expected, she was scolded and confined to her home until the audition.
She left angrily, never expecting her father to treat her like this.
And here, Rong Xi finally waited for the person she wanted to wait for. This time she opened the door quickly and looked at the Shangshu's wife with a grim expression at the door, and made a gesture of invitation.
She knew that Jiang Rongyuan and the master had been turned away by her, so when she saw her invite her in so easily, she knew that she was waiting for her.
"Are you waiting for me?"
"certainly."
The two of them sat down, and the Shangshu's wife looked around her room, making sure that no one was around before she dared to speak.
"Do you know why I came here today?"
"I know, and I'm the only one who can make the decision on this matter."
"Rong Xi, I really didn't mean to harm you. Today I just wanted Liu Cheng to come to the mansion to see you, but I didn't expect him to be like this."
"Don't waste any more time talking nonsense. You and I both know exactly what's going on. Just state your intentions directly."
The Shangshu's wife's expression became increasingly grim.
"I'd like to ask Your Majesty to revoke your order and not let Wan'er marry Liu Cheng. He's a lunatic, and Wan'er will go crazy if she marries him."
"Then you think that if I marry him, it won't happen?"
"No, I didn't think this through, but Wan'er is your sister after all. She has never hurt you. Please let her go."
"Do you think I care? Just tell me the chips I'm interested in. Otherwise, please go back."
