After his inner voice was read, the little cannon fodder became the darling of the world

Aunt Xu was afraid of pain and admitted it directly.

"Why? Isn't it obvious?

Only when you and your son die, can we have a chance to succeed. When we have children in the future, they can become the legitimate sons and daughters of the Jiang family."

Chen Mingyi looked at Jiang Zhengyi.

"Master, do you understand now? Haha..."

Chen Mingyi laughed sadly at the sky.

"You never listened to my explanations, and whenever something happened, you assumed it was my fault.

Do you still remember how many times you spanked me, how many times you made me kneel down, and how many times you slapped me because of them?

Shuheng felt sorry for me and volunteered to take the beatings for me. You felt that he challenged your authority. How many times did you beat him so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for days?

Jiang Zhengyi, do you regret doing all these things today? "

Jiang Zhengyi's face turned pale and he closed his eyes: "I will give you and Shuheng an explanation!"

"Butler, since they have admitted to killing the legitimate son and insulting the mistress of the house, all of their crimes are punishable by death. Beat them to death with sticks! Execute!"

The concubines, who thought that they would be solved by just being beaten, became panicked.

"Master, please spare us. We will never dare to do it again...ah..."

The pig-slaughtering wail gradually became quieter until it disappeared.

Jiang Zhengyi stood up, took off his shirt, kowtowed three times and nine times, and went to the ancestral hall at home, where he burned incense and prayed.

"The ancestors of the Jiang family are above, the unfilial descendant Jiang Zhengyi was greedy for beauty, let a wolf into the house, listened to the evil words of the vicious woman, caused discord in the family, his wife suffered injustice, and his son almost lost his life.

I feel ashamed of my ancestors in the Jiang family. I should have died to atone for my sins and to correct the family tradition.

But the mother was old and the son was not yet an adult, and the burden of the Jiang family had not yet been handed over to a suitable heir.

Today, in front of my ancestors, I will take the forty lashes of the family law as a punishment, and I swear to spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins!"

After the prayer, he kowtowed three times.

Then kneel straight.

"let's start!"

The housekeeper tried to persuade him: "Master..."

"Start, don't make me say it a third time!"

The butler had no choice but to raise his hand.

The young and strong servant raised the whip in his hand: "Pa pa pa pa ..."

Jiang Zhengyi's back was soon beaten bloody by the barbed whip. After being whipped twenty times, he could no longer bear it.

Every time the whip hit him, he would fall to the ground, but he would grit his teeth and get up and kneel. After receiving forty whips, he was already half dead.

Nangong Jiu looked at Jiang Zhengyi, who was a little conscious, and Chen Mingyi, who was crying.

"Mrs. Jiang, it is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Considering his sincere attitude, please give him and yourself another chance!"

Chen Mingyi looked at the little person riding the dog, walking away: "She is..."

Jiang Zhengyi struggled and knelt on the ground: "I respectfully send Princess Dingguo off!"

"Princess Dingguo? She is Princess Dingguo!" After being surprised, Chen Mingyi kowtowed in the direction where Nangong Jiu left to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Princess Dingguo, for upholding justice for me. I will never forget your kindness!"

Royal study room.

Nangong Jiu went directly into the palace from the Jiang family and went to the imperial study.

"Grandfather, here I come!"

Emperor Dong Ling happily put down his pen and said, "Looking at your attitude, which minister's house did you go to?"

Nangong Jiu nodded his head fiercely.

"I went to the home of Jiang Zhengyi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice."

Emperor Dongling and Eunuch Wei both listened quietly to what the villain had to say.

"That Jiang Zhengyi was really a fool when it came to family affairs. Fortunately, he came to his senses later..."

Nangong Jiu recounted in detail what happened to the Jiang family from beginning to end.

Emperor Dongling was filled with emotion.

"Although Jiang Zhengyi was able to achieve this because you were watching from the sidelines, his responsibility and courage are still worthy of recognition."

"Grandfather, I think there may be another reason."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Mrs. Jiang was heartbroken and had the intention to leave. Jiang Zhengyi must have noticed this and was so cruel to her in the hope of gaining her forgiveness."

Emperor Dong Ling laughed out loud: "Well, you saved a family on this trip.

Go back and rest today, and go to the palace early tomorrow to attend the birthday banquet."

"Okay, let's eat. I'm the most enthusiastic one!"

Nangong Jiu happily agreed and rode Xiao Wang out of the palace and back home.

As Xiao Wang walked, he used his spiritual sense to chat with Xiao Xing and Nangong Jiu.

"Tell me, if we don't go, will Jiang Zhengyi still deal with those concubines?"

Nangong Jiu scratched his forehead and said, "In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before he wakes up!

After all, he was reported to the Imperial Censor Zhang because of this incident, and now the matter has been brought to the attention of the Emperor, so he will definitely take it seriously.

Having worked in the Ministry of Justice for many years, he will find something fishy going on."

"That's right. After this lesson, I'm afraid he will never dare to think about taking a concubine again in his life."

"That's natural!"

"So where shall we go next time?"

Nangong Jiu shook his head and said, "After my birthday party, we will discuss it slowly and find a few representative ones."

Nangong Jiu rode on Xiao Wang and wandered around chatting for a long time, and only returned to the mansion near dusk.

Master Huiyuan and Taoist Master Qingchen came together with their disciple.

Nangong Jiu hugged Xu Feiyan's legs and said, "Aunt, please ask the kitchen to prepare some vegetarian food for Qingchen and the others."

"Don't worry, we're ready."

"Thank you, aunt!"

Nangong Jiu then looked at Master Huiyuan and said, "We have only been back to Beijing for two days. Have you arrived a long time ago?"

"Yes, Jiu Jun! After the martial arts meeting in Xizhou that day, Huiyuan came all the way to the capital and arrived at Lingyin Temple a few days earlier than Wuwang and the others."

Nangong Jiu gladly accepted his title.

"Then you should stay in Lingyin Temple for a while. Lingyin Temple is a good place for cultivation."

"Yes, thank you, Jiu Jun!"

Afternoon the next day.

Everyone was ready and went to the palace for the banquet.

When Nangong Jiu appeared at the birthday banquet in the arms of Emperor Dongling, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

The little girl is dressed in gorgeous princess court dress, festive and noble.

The little bun on the head is tied with a red ribbon, which moves in the wind, adding a bit of agility to the little guy.

The round, fair and tender little face was made to look rosy by the court dress.

With joyful eyes, he looked at the people who came to the birthday party from time to time, smiling and accepting everyone's congratulations and praises.

"The princess is so cute!"

"Look, she is only two years old, but she is small yet powerful. Her demeanor is worthy of the title of 'Dingguo'."

"That's right! She was even more powerful when scolding ministers in the court. Not only was she eloquent, but every word she said made sense. She's not simple."

"Just talking about the fact that the Emperor is attending the banquet, it seems that only His Royal Highness the Second Prince had this honor when he was a child."

"..."

In addition to the praise, the ministers who were named at the morning court that day began to have doubts in their hearts.

"Master Li, has the princess been to your house?"

Lord Li shook his head: "No, did you go to your house?"

"No! Children are just that, and they might forget about it because they are so happy about the birthday party."

"Then I have to thank God..."
