Yu Jiaojiao had anticipated this, and a coldness surged in her eyes.
“Father has also judged cases before. Her words have no evidence at all. You convicted me without distinguishing right from wrong. Wouldn’t it be a joke if it spread?”
Seeing this, the concubine Su, who was standing aside, began to wipe away her tears, “Eldest Miss, even if you are now the Jing Wangfei, you shouldn’t slander your father’s integrity like this.”
She was not young, but when she cried, she still had a charming demeanor, and every word struck Yu Rencheng’s heart.
“You are simply shameless, an unfilial and undutiful wretch!”
Yu Jiaojiao said coldly, “If it is really as Father said, then naturally the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.”
Yu Rencheng’s face became increasingly gloomy, his eyes wide with anger, “Wicked girl! Someone, bring the family law, I want to teach this wicked girl a good lesson!”
“Who dares to touch this Wang’s Wangfei.”
Before the person arrived, the voice came first. Jiang Xingyan pushed his wheelchair in, his usually indifferent and aloof eyes were icy cold.
The rage on Yu Rencheng’s face instantly vanished, and he bowed, “Greetings, Prince Jing.”
Concubine Su and Yu Jingjing also stopped crying and followed suit, bowing. Including the servants in the room, a large group knelt down.
Jiang Xingyan did not tell them to rise. He went to Yu Jiaojiao and looked at the anger on her face that she had not had time to hide, his face becoming even more gloomy.
“Marquis Chengan has such a great airs, even this Wang’s Wangfei has to be subjected to private torture here. Do you know what crime this is according to the laws of the court?”
The veins on Yu Rencheng’s forehead throbbed. He had originally thought that being the Jing Wang’s father-in-law would allow him to show off his power, but he didn’t expect that instead of showing off his power, he would be questioned.
Thinking of this, his face was so black that it could almost drip water, but he still had to kneel down, “This humble official dares not. I was just anxious and wanted to scare her, I would never really do anything.”
Jiang Xingyan’s cold eyes swept over Yu Jingjing, “This woman is eloquent and stingy, stirring up trouble. She has already been reprimanded by the old Wangfei. Marquis Chengan does not strictly discipline her, but instead questions this Wang’s Wangfei. Is this the rule of the Marquis’s mansion?”
Yu Rencheng was extremely ashamed and annoyed, and the veins on his forehead throbbed as he endured it, “Yes, this humble official will definitely strictly discipline this woman in the future.”
Saying that, he shouted at Yu Jingjing, “You angered the old Wangfei in the Wang residence, and then came back to slander your sister, committing such a big mistake, why don’t you come over and apologize to the Wangye!”
Yu Jingjing bit her lip and looked at Yu Jiaojiao. Although this bitch married a cripple, this cripple was really good to her, but she…
Thinking of this, she raised her tear-stained face and looked at Jiang Peilang, who was following behind Jiang Xingyan, with expectant eyes, “Husband…”
Who knew that Jiang Peilang seemed not to see her, standing there with his eyes fixed straight ahead.
Her eyes turned astringent for a moment, and she stared at Yu Jiaojiao hatefully, kneeling down and kowtowing with red eyes, “This concubine is wrong, I hope the Wangye and Wangfei will forgive me.”
In the air, there was a long silence.
Jiang Xingyan did not speak, his eyes turned to Yu Jiaojiao, the meaning was self-evident.
Yu Jiaojiao’s heart warmed, and she said solemnly, “You have made mistakes repeatedly. After we go back, I will tell Mother and send two nanny to your room to teach you manners.”
Yu Jingjing’s heart seemed to be on fire, and the resentment and unwillingness in her heart burned her so much that she almost couldn’t maintain the expression on her face. After a long while, she swallowed a mouthful of blood and said, word by word, “Thank you, Aunt, for your teachings.”
Having vented her anger for Yu Jiaojiao, Jiang Xingyan naturally took her hand, “I left something on the carriage, come with me to get it.”
Yu Jiaojiao gently squeezed back, and then went around to the back to help him push the wheelchair.
Arriving in front of the carriage, Jiang Xingyan ordered his subordinates to take out a half-person-high wooden box. Yu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but be curious, “What is this?”
“Open it and see.” Jiang Xingyan’s eyes were deep, and no clues could be seen.
Yu Jiaojiao reached out and opened it, her eyes widening slightly, full of surprise.
Inside the wooden box was a lifelike white jade Guanyin statue, its body carved from a whole piece of white jade material, warm to the touch, and it was known to be priceless at a glance.
Jiang Xingyan explained softly, “I heard that your mother is not feeling well. This was requested from Ciguang Temple, hoping it can give her some comfort.”
Yu Jiaojiao subconsciously pushed the wooden box back, “Before we came out, my mother-in-law had already added a lot of gifts. This is too precious, my mother will definitely not dare to accept it.”
Jiang Xingyan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his voice was inexplicably tinged with coolness, “You gladly accept what Mother gave you, but you dare not accept mine?”
“You prepared this separately?” Yu Jiaojiao’s movements paused slightly, her eyes full of astonishment. She only thought that this was ordered by the old Wangfei.
Jiang Xingyan pursed his thin lips and nodded lightly.
Yu Jiaojiao was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment, but her heart felt like a warm current was flowing through it, and her eyes were hot.
“Thank you, my mother will definitely like it too.”
She didn’t expect that he looked cold, but inside he was so careful and thoughtful. What virtue and ability did she have to get such a good husband.
Jiang Xingyan’s expression suddenly relaxed with these words, and a shallow smile appeared in his eyes, “Your mother is my mother, there is no need to thank me.”
The warm current in her heart continued to accumulate, as if something was faintly breaking ground, and Yu Jiaojiao also showed a smile, “When did you prepare it? How did you hide it so well?”
Jiang Xingyan lowered his eyes, his long and dense eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes.
Before he could speak, a series of urgent shouts suddenly came from inside the mansion.
“Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss, something bad has happened, something has happened to the Madam, please come in with me!”
Yu Jiaojiao’s expression changed, and the person who came was her mother’s chief maid, Fu Shuang, “What happened to Mother? Tell me as we go.”
“There’s no time, come with me first!”
Fu Lu was extremely anxious, and pulled her back.
Arriving at the inner courtyard, she saw layers of people surrounding the courtyard, and all kinds of unbearable words were directed at the person in the middle.
“This Chengan Marquis’s wife is really shameless, committing adultery with someone in broad daylight!”
