Seeing that neither her father nor her brother were willing to come forward, Jiang Yao stomped her foot in anger and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Xiuyuan.

"Ayao, if there are any things belonging to the Fang family in your dowry, please count them out as soon as possible and return them to your family."

Jiang Xiuyuan said weakly, "It would be bad if the Jinyiwei came to our house."

Jiang Yao was suddenly struck by lightning.

The land and shops, head ornaments and jewellery, and rare antiques in her dowry, which one was not carefully selected by Yu from Fang's dowry and the dowry that Fang prepared for Jiang Li?

If she had to return it all, what would she have left?

Jiang Yao went back in despair.

Jiang Xiuyuan glanced at his sons and daughters-in-law and said, "You too, go back to your room and take inventory as soon as possible. The Imperial Guards will be coming to your house in three days."

Everyone returned to their room as if sleepwalking.

Old Madam Jiang looked at the precious antiques in her house, looking at this and then that, and she was reluctant to part with any of them!

"Somebody come!"

She called her trusted nanny and said, "Quick, take all the valuables in my room and hide them outside the house!"

Zhao and her two sisters-in-law had the same idea. They quickly packed up their valuables and shipped them out of the house overnight.

How could Xie Changan not be on guard?

The Jinyiwei were experts at confiscating property and had been prepared for this incident. They immediately intercepted the things that the Jiang Mansion sent out overnight, saving them a lot of effort.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Even the package has been packed. The Jiang family is really considerate."

Xie Changan also smiled and said, "I'll make a list for you later and let Aunt Lian and the others compare it to see what's missing."

Jiang Li then asked Aunt Lian and Manager Liu to make a list based on the dowry list and give it to Xie Changan.

After Yuanbao returned to the palace, he reported the whole incident to Nangong Qinghe in detail.

Nangong Qinghe was furious: "How could there be such a vicious woman in the world!"

He also felt very sorry for Jiang Li. If he could get a beautiful woman like Jiang Li, he would definitely protect her and cherish her like a treasure.

The Jiang family actually treated her like this, throwing her to the countryside as soon as she was born and abandoning her like a worn-out shoe!

Yu also harmed her repeatedly!

He issued an oral order, saying that Minister Jiang had poor personal morals, a bad family tradition, and had failed to notice the evil deeds of his wife Yu, and ordered him to reflect on his mistakes at home.

When I have dealt with the mess at home, I will return to work.

Yu's evil deeds are well known, the Ministry of Justice shall commutate the sentence to immediate execution!

If all the women in the inner house learned such vicious tactics, wouldn't everyone be in danger and the family would be in turmoil?

We must never encourage this kind of trend!

Jiang Xiuyuan received the emperor's oral order, which was like adding insult to injury!

Seeing that his official position was lost, he presented a letter of apology with tears, quickly wrote a letter of divorce, and ordered someone to deliver it to his house.

He wants to cut off all ties with the Yu family as soon as possible!

After receiving the divorce letter, Yu Gongming cursed Jiang Xiuyuan for being irresponsible and abandoning his wife when disaster struck!

He moved around everywhere, but was repeatedly turned down.

The emperor has already issued an order to execute Yu immediately. Who dares to stand up for her?

The officials of Shuntian Prefecture who had received favors from Yu's father secretly told Yu Gongming: "For the sake of our past friendship, we will turn a blind eye and let your sister commit suicide. At least she can keep her body intact."

Yu Gongming had no choice but to ask someone to pass the message to the Yu family.

Yu was detained in prison. Not only Jiang Xiuyuan, but even her biological children Jiang Feng and Jiang Yao did not come to visit her.

After receiving the words passed on by Yu Gongming, he learned that his sentence was commuted to immediate execution and that he was divorced by the Jiang family. He felt completely hopeless.

After crying bitterly, he took off his belt and hanged himself.

Upon hearing the news, Aunt Lian gnashed her teeth in hatred: "She got such a good deal!"

Jiang Li comforted her, "She won't be at peace even after her death. She took money that didn't belong to her for nothing, and her descendants will be punished in the future."

People don’t know that everything in this world has its destiny. If you take ill-gotten gains, you will eventually suffer the consequences.

After the Ministry of Justice reviewed the Yu case, all of them were sentenced to immediate execution.

Yu had committed suicide, and the remaining few were dragged to Caishikou and beheaded in public.

The feud between Marquis Jing'an and the Jiang family became a hot topic in the capital.

The storyteller in the teahouse also made this case into a joke, which he told on stage with twists and turns, and the audience listened with great interest.

People have mixed opinions about this female marquis.

Some people say that she is brave and resourceful, and that she tore her evil stepmother to pieces and avenged her mother, showing that she is truly a woman who is as good as any man!

Some people sneered at it and brought their own father, stepmother and grandmother to court, saying it was extremely unfilial!

Most of the girls in the boudoir admired the Marquis of Jing'an.

As the saying goes, force can defeat skill. No matter the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children or the tricks used by the harem, they simply don't care. They just crush them with their strength!

How could they not be attracted by such a free and easy life?

Nangong Qinghe and Xie Changan both didn't want others to talk about their loved ones, so they were trying to find a way to stop people from talking about the matter.

Jiang Li didn't take it as an offense. She thought that the mouth was on the other person's body, so he could say whatever he wanted. It wouldn't hurt her anyway.

He even wore a veil hat and went to the teahouse with great interest to listen to his own jokes.

After hearing some interesting parts, she generously gave the storyteller a silver ingot as a reward, which made Xie Changan laugh and cry.

Three days later, the Jinyiwei and Shuntianfu's yamen runners surrounded the Jiang residence.

Those who had heard the joke surrounded the Jiang residence, and everyone wanted to see this rare excitement.

Xie Changan sat in the main hall with his horse and sword in his arms, and a team of Jinyiwei "invited" everyone from the Jiang Mansion into the main hall.

The Jiang family's young wives, concubines and maids were originally extremely panic-stricken, but when they saw this extremely handsome commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they were stunned for a moment.

Jiang Xiuyuan said, "My dear son-in-law, what are you doing? All the belongings and properties of the Fang family have been counted. You and I can just do the handover. Why do you have to invite the women out as well?"

Xie Changan raised his lips slightly and said, "My men are all rough men, and I am afraid that they will disturb Grandma and the sisters-in-law. Please stay calm here. After we move the things, I will personally send Grandma back."

Madam Jiang was anxious. If she asked the Imperial Guards to move the items themselves, wouldn't there be nothing left?

She covered her chest and said, "Ouch, my chest feels stuffy. I need to go back to my room and rest for a while!"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "The Marquis is considerate of Grandma and has already invited a doctor from Longmen Medical Bureau for her. Someone, please ask the doctor to come in!"

"Yes!"

Soon, two doctors wearing the uniforms of Longmen Medical Bureau came in carrying medicine boxes.

Madam Jiang's face darkened. The doctor had been invited in advance, so how could she pretend to be sick?

"I feel better now, so I don't need a doctor to see me. Please let my grandson-in-law go back."

"It's okay. The Marquis has already paid for the consultation. We will stay here just in case."

A doctor laughed.

Everyone in the Jiang residence turned red and white in the face. Even the idea of ​​pretending to be sick was blocked for them. How could this little girl be so smart?

Xie Changan said, "My father-in-law just said that all the items and properties have been counted. Do you have a list?"

Jiang Xiuyuan pulled out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xie Changan.

Xie Changan took it and looked at it, then sneered, "Could my father-in-law have made a mistake? The items listed on this list are less than one-tenth of my mother-in-law's dowry. What about the property of Fang family in Hangzhou?"
