He was interrupted by a knock on the door.

This sound was more powerful and louder than the one they kicked out when they came, and it successfully raised Jiang Huaian's anger to a new level.

"Who is so blind that doesn't know that I am——"

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 sigh made everyone automatically complete the whole scene in their minds.

He was angry.

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

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

He glanced at the little guys solemnly, and finally chuckled: "Tell me, what am I doing?"

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

When he lowered his head, there was a look of shock in his eyes.

Logically speaking, this was the time for the inner court, and their father should not be here. Why was he so unlucky today that he ran into his father who happened to be here for 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.

“Wuwaaaaaaaaa – Fourth brother, Fourth brother is bullying me, wuwaaa –”

The little guy kept crying and Jiang Yanchuan's cold expression rarely cracked.

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

As he walked towards the teacher's seat, he patted her back gently with his palms.

Jiang Yanchuan didn't say anything to comfort her, but the atmosphere somehow made people feel that this was what they had imagined countless times as the loving mother in law would be like.

This scene made them jealous and terrified.

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 spearhead at Jiang Huaian, who had the worst behavior today: "Fourth brother wanted to beat my younger brother, and he also pulled Chengcheng's hair. It hurts!"

He moved his finger 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 any for Chengcheng!"

Finally, he pointed at the eunuchs who intended to execute Lin Jinshu: "They, they beat Chengcheng, and used that thing to clamp my brother's fingers..."

Every time Jiang Yingcheng pointed her finger in a direction, someone would kneel down on the ground with a plop. By the time she had finished speaking, all the people brought by Jiang Huaian had already knelt down 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 imperial concubine in the 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 blamed too harshly!

Jiang Yanchuan suddenly said, "You just recovered from your injuries and you're already looking for trouble with your brothers and sisters. Is this the family education you learned from your mother?"

Jiang Huaian shuddered again at this light question, and subconsciously defended himself: "My son, my son was pushed down from behind yesterday and broke 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 more deceitful emperors.

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 was already accusatory.

Jiang Huaian was provoked by this blatant favoritism. He stiffened his neck and did not refute, but 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 little girl would instigate others to attack Jiang Huaian just to avenge the previous incident, but she must know the inside story.

Jiang Yingcheng felt this gaze and pouted angrily.

[I’m so angry, my father actually doubted 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 that 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 I let Father continue investigating, he might really catch my seventh brother!]

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

He looked guilty as if he had been exposed.

[Wow, Cheng Cheng protects Seventh Brother, Father must protect Cheng Cheng! ]

Jiang Xingran's pupils trembled slightly.

He didn't expect that Jiang Yingcheng would take the initiative to take on 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 gentle 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 little companion student?

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

Jiang Yanchuan's tone remained calm, yet 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 Huaian disrespected the law and was sentenced to three months of house arrest. Jiang Yunjian and Jiang Mo Nian aided the tyrant and were sentenced to one month of house arrest. The punishment will be implemented from today."

Jiang Huaian looked up in horror and finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

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

Jiang Huaian began to kowtow and beg for mercy: "Father, please hit me with the stick again, Father. I don't want to be confined to my house, Father!"

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

"Show off."

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

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

Then, he met the little guy's cunning gaze.

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

Eunuch Changshun: “…”
