Chapter 47 Brother is punished
Jiang Luan walked up to Liu Shi and said in a coquettish tone, "Mother, you have to give Luan'er a little brother soon!"
"He will be a legitimate son, and he will also have the right to compete for this title."
Lady Liu longed for it, but the Marquis of Zhenyuan's health was deteriorating day by day, and no matter how hard she tried, it would be to no avail.
She sighed, patted Jiang Luan's hand, and smiled, "Luan'er, don't worry, Mother knows what to do. Mother will give you a younger brother."
Just as Madam Liu was speaking, a servant's voice came from outside.
"Madam, the master, the young master, and the princess have returned."
Madam Liu immediately stood up, staring incredulously at the servant who had entered: "What did you say? Young Master? Princess?"
The servant nodded and confirmed, "Young master, the princess has returned safely."
"I guess the master received the news after the morning court session, went to Linlangfang, and rescued them from the Liang King."
Lady Liu was completely bewildered; she truly had no idea when the Marquis of Zhenyuan had gone to Linlangfang.
Moreover, Jiang Zhi and Jiang Shuyue were completely unharmed?
A group of people entered the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence one after another.
After being kicked by the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Jiang Shuyue collapsed to the ground.
In the front hall of the Marquis's residence, the Marquis of Zhenyuan stood with a gloomy expression, not uttering a single word.
The maids and servants in the Jiang household all hung their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.
Jiang Zhi stood beside the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
When the servants led Old Madam Jiang out of the room, she did not give Jiang Shuyue, who was slumped on the ground, a friendly look.
Everyone present was waiting for this family discipline session.
Jiang Shuyue knelt on the ground, looked up at Lu Nianqiu who had just entered, and crawled to Lu Nianqiu with trembling body.
"Cousin, please protect me."
"I was wrong, please, please, Father, please."
Lu Nianqiu ruthlessly shoved him aside, tilted her head back, and walked up to Jiang Zhi.
I told her about Linlangfang at noon.
Having nearly had his finger chopped off in front of Gu Liang, how could his father possibly let him off the hook?
At this moment, in the hall, Marquis Zhenyuan's gaze was icy. He glanced at the steward and said, "Bring out my military whip."
"Yes, sir."
Watching the steward go down to fetch the military whip, Jiang Shuyue pleaded bitterly, "Father, I was wrong, I was wrong! I'll never do it again!"
"I'll never do it again, I'll never do it again!" He trembled with fear.
Marquis Zhenyuan stared at him, his anger no longer concealed.
He said coldly, "The Prince of Liang has declared today that if any member of the Jiang family appears in any casino in Yanjing, they will face certain death."
"It is because the father failed to educate his son properly that a terrible mistake was almost made today."
"If your sister hadn't gone, you would probably be crippled today."
"Someone, bring me the military whip!"
The Marquis of Zhenyuan's furious outburst startled everyone in the front hall.
Jiang Shuyue swallowed hard, looked at Jiang Zhi, and said tremblingly, "Father, you can ask my sister. It was Zhou Tongli who cheated. He cheated on me! Besides, my sister has already paid back the money for me!"
"father!"
"Snapped"
A whip cracked, echoing throughout the front hall of the Jiang residence.
The sound of the impact hitting flesh sent chills down the spines of those in the front hall.
Jiang Shuyue screamed in agony, and in an instant, a deep bloody gash appeared on his back, the flesh of his skin turning red and raw.
Marquis Zhenyuan remained unfazed. "If you weren't a gambler, how could you have been tricked?"
"I'll beat you to death, you unfilial son! What else can you do besides get rid of your father?!"
"Crack!" Another loud lash of the whip struck down hard, leaving another bloody welt on Jiang Shuyue's body.
Jiang Zhi stood in the hall and gasped as he looked at the scene before him.
Seeing what was happening, no one dared to step forward and stop them.
She had never seen her father so angry.
Just then, several figures rushed in from outside the door, and soon Liu's voice could be heard.
"My lord, my lord, you can't hit him!"
"He's your son! Are you really going to beat him to death?!"
Liu came in crying and collapsed in front of Jiang Shuyue, reaching out to protect him.
It was the same old story, and even the Marquis of Zhenyuan was tired of it.
He roared, "Get out of here!"
"You always cry and whine to protect this unfilial son. In the end, isn't it all because you spoiled him? Look at what he's become now!"
"Get out of my way!"
Lady Liu choked back tears and said, "My Lord, Yue'er is so young, what could he possibly understand?"
"If you kill him, how will you explain it to the late Madam?"
Marquis Zhenyuan was so angry that his face turned purple, and he trembled slightly as he held the whip.
He sneered, "You still have the nerve to mention the evening bell."
"If Wan Zhong knew that I had raised her son to be like this, I'm afraid even Heaven would blame me."
"Liu, every time you use Wan Zhong to protect this rebellious son, you're only harming him!"
Lady Liu froze, looking at Marquis Zhenyuan with a terrified expression, and cried even louder.
"Sir, you've wronged me! I was just heartbroken for the child, how could I possibly harm him!"
"Get out of here! You bear the greatest responsibility for the mistakes they've made!"
"It is true that a doting mother spoils her son. If it weren't for Zhi'er today, our Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion would probably not be able to get back up."
Seeing that the Marquis of Zhenyuan's eyes were bloodshot and he looked like he was going to make Jiang Shuyue a widow, Liu couldn't help but shudder before getting up from the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the deafening sound of whips and screams echoed throughout the entire Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion.
The night was not peaceful.
Jiang Shuyue was beaten so badly that he couldn't move and had to be carried into the courtyard.
Marquis Zhenyuan's anger had not subsided.
After feigning tears, Liu's eyes revealed anger. She covered her face with her sleeve and looked at Jiang Zhi through the gap. It was all because of this bitch that she ruined her plans.
Today, they could have easily turned Jiang Shuyue into a complete cripple.
They could have used Gu Liang to kill her, but unexpectedly, they failed.
Instead, it was the Zhou family's young master who had his finger cut off.
Thinking about all this, Liu was furious.
That little bitch has been ruining her plans ever since she returned to Yanjing.
After the servants cleaned up the bloodstains on the floor of the front hall, Jiang Zhi helped Lu Nianqiu back to the courtyard.
She looked at Jiang Zhi and asked, "Zhi Zhi, did the Prince of Liang make things difficult for you today?"
Jiang Zhi shook her head, "Cousin, why would he make things difficult for me?"
"That's good. He's really too dangerous. Oh, poor Zhizhi, she married such a person."
Jiang Zhi picked up the candied fruit from the plate and took a small bite.
Lu Nianqiu said, "But in fact, the Prince of Liang is better looking and his political achievements are more outstanding than those of the Prince of Jing."
"Before he was six years old, he was well-mannered, intelligent, and had excellent chess skills. He was regarded by the entire court as the hope of the Great Yan."
"The Emperor is very satisfied with his son."
"There was also an intention to pass the throne to him, but he was too young at the time; otherwise, he would be the monarch of Yanjing now."
"Unfortunately, royal power struggles have always been brutal."
