"Is she qualified to be the matriarch of the Wang family?" Wang Jiyang walked over, holding Wang Jize's hand, with Madam Fan standing protectively beside Wang Jize.
He didn't need Wang Muxuan's reply, nor did he need any reply from the Wang family; he was being sarcastic.
He walked up to Qiu Chengshi and said, "Lord Qiu, I will act as the plaintiff and implore the court to give me justice. I beg you to uphold the law impartially."
Among the Wang family members who had come with Wang Kuanqi and were about to split off, someone stood up to respond to Wang Mulei's words, "Everyone, be careful not to be bitten to death by a poisonous snake or burned to death."
Wang Jidong, who was able to separate from Wang Jiyang, was naturally eloquent. After speaking, he glanced at the disciples of the Wang family and sneered, "The virtue of a gentleman is like the wind, the virtue of a petty person is like grass. The wind over the grass must bend it. Under the bright sky and clear sun and moon, you all must not go astray!"
Upon hearing this, the Wang family disciples looked away and stopped looking at Wang Kuanqi and Wang Shenshi.
Like the other members of the Wang family who hadn't branched out, their anger, which had just been stirred up, was extinguished by that one sentence.
Qiu Tang bowed slightly and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Wang, I will uphold justice and never let a single evil person go unpunished. Now take him away!"
Seeing that the Wang family was fighting amongst themselves, Liu Ren'an thought it was a perfect opportunity to do something important for the Wang family. He immediately summoned several constables and ordered, "Take them away right now!"
The constables were replaced by Li Hanzhougu, who forcibly took Wang Kuanqi and Wang Shenshi away. The maids and servants who tried to protect them got into a fight with the soldiers and were also taken away separately.
The palace maid held onto Shen tightly. Lady Zhang said that the Wang family would be made to leave through the East Gate Street today, or they would all be punished upon returning to the palace. Letting the Dowager Consort out of the palace was a serious crime. The Princess Consort had the Empress Dowager's protection, but they did not.
"Father, Mother, let go of my parents, let go!" Wang Muxuan and his brother tried to pry at the constables, but the pampered young masters were no match for them. They were easily overpowered and fell down without even being pushed.
Qiu Chengshi led his soldiers and followed the constables to the Jingzhao Prefecture. Some curious civilians followed them at a distance.
Suddenly, Dongmen Street was empty, leaving only the Yang family members kneeling with their heads down, oblivious to what was happening around them.
The scene was indescribably desolate and ironic.
Seeing that things were not going well, Wang Tu, who was lucky enough not to be taken away, hurriedly went to help Wang Muxuan and said earnestly, "Young master, young master, let's go back to the manor and think of a solution. Don't worry."
The Wang brothers were completely flustered, their minds blank. They clung to Wang Xiang as if he were a lifeline, saying, "Yes, yes, let's go back to the manor, let's go back to the manor and think of a way. I'll go find my maternal grandfather."
"Yes, yes, brother, let's go find our maternal grandfather and uncle." The two brothers felt much more confident when they thought of their maternal family. They exchanged a glance, and without calling any of the Wang family members, they led the remaining maids and servants away in a grand procession.
With tears streaming down her face, the Dowager Princess watched Wang Kuanqi's figure disappear down the street.
"Your Highness, let's go back," a palace maid advised from the side.
"Mother, your daughter has avenged you," she murmured, then slowly closed her eyes and collapsed.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
Zhao Shu, who had been watching from the shadows for a long time, sighed. It was a pity that the Yang family hadn't stepped forward.
"Princess, you are amazing! You even managed to get the Dowager Princess to be your witness." Green Ivy looked at Zhao Shu with starry eyes and full of admiration.
"Go to the palace, Princess. I need to apologize." Zhao Shu shrugged, wondering how to explain herself.
Still excited, Green Ivy pressed for details, "Princess, Princess, please tell me, what did you say to the Dowager Princess?"
