At Jiang Tian's command, a large group of guards entered from outside, each carrying a knife.
Some of the maids and servants were trembling with fear, afraid that the lady would tear the house apart in a fit of anger.
Wei Wenxuan's face grew colder and colder. This time, he finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Madam brought so many people to my house to make a scene. If I were to sue you for trespassing, you wouldn't have an easy time either."
As the head of the family, he had already felt resentful for being humiliated by Jiang Tian on the spot.
Jiang Tian raised the teacup in her hand, and her personal maid took it from her.
"Pour me a cup of the drink that came with the carriage. This place is no different from a den of dragons and tigers. If I drink their tea again, I'm afraid I'll be poisoned."
Wei Wenxuan's face turned ashen. He asked her a question, and Jiang Tian not only didn't answer, but she also made a veiled accusation that his family was poisonous.
His patience was nearing its limit.
Before long, a maid brought in a cup of drink. Jiang Tian slowly took a few sips before looking down at Aunt Chu.
"I'm giving you one last chance. Confess all the dirty deeds you've committed over the years, and maybe I'll spare your life. If you still don't confess, it won't just be you who loses face."
Aunt Chu has recovered from the pain and can now speak normally.
She hated Jiang Tian with a venomous hatred in her heart, so why would she willingly walk into a trap?
She covered her face with a handkerchief and began to weep softly: "Please, Madam, spare me. If you feel that I have hindered your sister, I am willing to commit suicide to atone for my sins. But isn't the purpose of living to maintain a good reputation? I would never dare to admit to such slander against me."
She lowered her head, hiding her swollen face from the slap. Just hearing her pitiful tone, one could hardly help but feel a pang of pity.
At this moment, Wei Xi, the illegitimate daughter born to Consort Chu, ran out from the group of children and rushed to Consort Chu's side: "Consort, please don't say anything. If you leave, I will stay with you!"
She was delicate and frail, inheriting eight-tenths of Aunt Chu's beauty, and even when she cried, she maintained her composure.
Wei Jinxiu looked at her half-sister, who had almost ruined her reputation in her past life, and her whole body tensed up.
This mother and daughter have fooled Wei Wenxuan countless times by playing the victim.
In his past life, their crimes were almost exposed once, but Wei Wenxuan softened after they cried and went to investigate again.
Aunt Chu's people had already been rearranged by then, and they escaped a disaster by shedding tears.
This trick has proven effective time and again.
As expected, Wei Wenxuan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart: "Madam Jinrong, I respect you, but I absolutely cannot tolerate your humiliation of my concubine and daughter!"
Jiang Yu looked at her husband, who used to be so loving towards her, now standing up for another woman. Her eyes were filled with sadness, and she quietly wiped away a tear that had rolled down her cheek.
When her elder sister returned, her suicidal thoughts vanished.
She came to support her, and as her younger sister, how could she not be grateful for her kindness?
No matter how much they sang, recited, acted, and fought, Jiang Tian remained unmoved.
She only asked the maid beside her, "Is it all surrounded?"
The maidservant respectfully replied, "Yes, Madam. Now even a fly can't get out of the mansion."
Wei Wenxuan overheard their conversation and was furious: "What have you done!"
Jiang Tian tapped her ear slightly with her finger and said impatiently, "I advise you to behave yourself. After today's matter is settled, I will go to the palace to apologize to the Emperor. Whether the Emperor will punish me is another matter. With you shouting and yelling, do you still have the demeanor of a scholar?"
