Chapter 60: Cheng Cheng complains!

He was interrupted by a knock on the door.

This sound was stronger and louder than the kick they had made when they came, and it successfully raised Jiang Huaian's anger to a new level.

"Who is so blind that he doesn't know that the young master is——"

The moment he saw the scene behind him clearly, Jiang Huaian was so frightened that he froze like a statue.

Jiang Yanchuan stood with his back to the light, and the expression on his face was unclear, but the angry chuckle made everyone automatically complete the whole scene in their minds.

He was angry.

For a moment, this was the only thought in everyone's mind.

Jiang Yanchuan was wrapped in the cold air from the ice and snow outside, and the chill all over his body overwhelmed the cold air.

He looked at the young guys with a serious look, and finally chuckled: "Tell me, what are you doing?"

Jiang Huaian seemed to be startled by the chill, his legs were trembling and his teeth were chattering unconsciously.

When he lowered his head, his eyes flashed with deep shock.

Logically speaking, this was the time for the inner court to be in session, and their father should not be here. How could he be so unlucky today that he ran into his father who happened to be here for an inspection just when he was about to take action?!

Jiang Huaian swallowed his saliva and suppressed the fear in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Yingcheng, who had finally been quiet for a moment, burst into tears again.

“Wuwaaaaaaaa——Fourth brother, fourth brother bullies me, wuwaa——”

The little guy kept crying and Jiang Yanchuan's cold expression cracked for a rare moment.

He stood there stiffly for a moment, and finally, in front of everyone's shocked gazes, he slowly walked up to Jiang Yingcheng and reached out to pick her up.

While walking towards the teacher's seat, he patted her back gently with his palm.

Jiang Yanchuan didn't say anything to comfort them, but that kind of atmosphere somehow made people feel that this was what being in someone's arms, which they had fantasized about countless times, would be like.

This scene makes them jealous and fearful.

The two princes on the same side as Jiang Huaian began to tremble to varying degrees.

After Jiang Yingcheng had cried enough, she stretched out her little hands from Jiang Yanchuan's arms and began to complain one by one, tremblingly.

She first directed her attack at Jiang Huai'an, who had the worst behavior today: "Fourth brother wanted to beat my younger brother, and he also pulled Cheng Cheng's hair. It hurts!"

His finger moved slightly and pointed to the row of lunch boxes placed at the feet of Jiang Yunjian and the others: "Fifth brother and sixth brother, you snatched the cakes that father prepared for Chengcheng and didn't leave a single piece for Chengcheng!"

Finally, he pointed at the eunuchs who intended to execute Lin Jinshu: "They, they beat Cheng Cheng, and also took that thing to pinch my brother's fingers..."

Every time Jiang Yingcheng pointed her finger in a direction, someone would kneel on the ground with a plop. By the time she had finished speaking, all the people Jiang Huaian brought had already knelt on the ground, without exception.

The ground in front of Jiang Huaian was already soaked with his sweat. His head was dizzy, but he kept comforting himself in a trance.

It's okay. His mother is the favored concubine in the imperial harem, and his grandfather is a powerful official in the court. Even if Jiang Yingcheng has gained the favor of his father at some point, he will certainly not be severely punished!

Jiang Yanchuan suddenly spoke up: "You just healed your wounds and you come out to cause trouble for your brothers and sisters. Is this the family education you learned from your mother?"

Jiang Huai'an shuddered again at the casual question, and subconsciously defended himself: "My son, my son, was pushed from behind yesterday and hit his head. I came here today just to ask them if they have any clues about the murderer..."

He spoke in a halting manner, completely lacking his previous arrogance.

But even he himself found such remarks ridiculous, not to mention that he had seen many more emperors who were scheming and deceitful.

Jiang Yanchuan's hand was still patting Jiang Yingcheng's back, "You mean, it was Yingcheng who ordered someone to attack you?"

His tone gradually became heavier, and by the end, it had taken on a harsh tone.

Jiang Huai'an was provoked by this blatant partiality. He stiffened his neck and did not refute. He just said weakly: "I didn't intend to attack Eleven. She rushed up and bit the back of my hand first, so I accidentally pulled Eleven's hair!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanchuan lowered his head and glanced at Jiang Yingcheng.

He didn't think that the young man would instigate others to attack Jiang Huaian just to avenge the previous incident, but she must also know the inside story.

Jiang Yingcheng felt this gaze and pouted angrily.

[I’m so angry. Father actually doubts Cheng Cheng! ]

Jiang Xingran and Lin Jinshu's eyes suddenly widened.

Jiang Yingcheng pouted her lips. It was impossible for those words to come from her mouth, but the voice clearly belonged to her!

Jiang Yingcheng didn't notice the momentary stagnation between the two. Just as he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, he met Jiang Xingran's direct gaze.

[No, if father continues to investigate, he might really find out my seventh brother!]

Her dark eyeballs rolled around twice, then she closed her eyes and buried her face in Jiang Yanchuan's arms.

He looked as if his guilt had been exposed.

[Wuwuwu, Chengcheng protects Seventh Brother, Father must protect Chengcheng! ]

Jiang Xingran's pupils trembled slightly.

He didn't expect that Jiang Yingcheng would take the initiative to take charge of this matter in order to protect him.

He suddenly felt an impulse: "Father, Xing Ran--" He wanted to make up a lie to remove Jiang Yingcheng from the matter.

The moment their eyes met, Jiang Xingran shut up again at Jiang Yanchuan's hint, and silently led Jiang Qiuyu and Lin Jinshu to stand aside.

Jiang Yanchuan looked coldly at the three brothers kneeling on the ground, and said in a slow voice: "I just want to ask you, you came here today to interrogate Yingcheng, but do you have strong evidence?"

Jiang Huaian buried his head even lower.

If he had evidence today, how could he just target a small companion reader?

"You are so brave to force a confession from your brothers without any evidence."

Jiang Yanchuan's tone was still calm, yet he sounded intimidating without being angry.

The officials of the inner court were still waiting in Wuyang Palace, and he did not want to stay here any longer: "Jiang Huai'an disrespected the law and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Jiang Yunjian and Jiang Mo Nian were accomplices to the tyrant and were sentenced to one month's imprisonment. The sentence will be carried out from today."

Jiang Huai'an looked up in horror and finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

The New Year's Day celebration will be within these three months, and countless envoys will come to the palace to attend the banquet. If he fails to show up on that day, the court officials will definitely take it as a sign that he and his mother have fallen out of favor!

Jiang Huai'an began to kowtow and beg for mercy: "Father, please beat me again, Father. I don't want to be confined to my house, Father!"

Jiang Yanchuan didn't want to listen anymore. He picked up Jiang Yingcheng, walked past Jiang Huaian who was still kowtowing, and walked slowly towards the door.

"Swing."

After Eunuch Changshun said "yes", he bravely glanced at Jiang Yingcheng.

The little princess cried so miserably just now that he was worried that she was really hurt.

Then, he met the young guy's cunning gaze that was peeking out secretly.

[Yeah yeah yeah, I can skip class today! ]

Eunuch Changshun: "..."
