Jiang Yanxu naturally knew what Jiang Shuyu meant, and looked at Jiang Yancheng with disdain in his eyes.

Jiang Yancheng saw that Jiang Yanxu looked like he was about to lose his temper at any moment, and he suddenly felt extremely nervous, afraid that Jiang Yanxu would hit him. He immediately stammered, "I, I came here to inform you. Grandmother said that after you come back, you should go over there immediately."

Jiang Yanxu's heart tightened, and he looked at Jiang Shuyu worriedly. He was the one who caused this incident, so he couldn't let Jiang Shuyu be punished with him.

"Just be like before. Don't say anything. Just behave yourself in front of grandma. I'll take care of any beatings or punishments!"

And you'd better cry a few more times. If you can't cry anymore, let Yu Lan secretly rub green onions on your handkerchief. You can always get away with it by saying that your grandmother loves you!"

Seeing that Jiang Yanxu had thought of her escape route as usual, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes. In the past, no matter what troubles they had gotten into, Jiang Yanxu always protected her behind him and bore the punishment alone.

At first, she didn't feel anything was wrong, and she watched Jiang Yanxu being beaten until his skin was torn and flesh was bruised. Now, thinking back, Jiang Yanxu was only three years older than her, how could she not be afraid of the pain brought by the ruler?

Seeing Jiang Shuyu's red eyes, Jiang Yanxu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's it. I'll take care of the rest! Don't worry!"

Seeing Jiang Yanxu's majestic look, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but burst into laughter. Then she looked at Jiang Yanxu confidently and said, "Don't worry! Fourth brother, we won't be punished this time!"

Listening to Jiang Shuyu's words, Jiang Yanxu shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that Yu'er had not thought about the seriousness of the matter. Yuan Caijun was so seriously injured, how could the Yuan family let it go?

Not to mention that there was a concubine daughter of the Yuan family in the second house. The second aunt had always regarded the third house as a thorn in her side. She thought that her grandmother favored the third house and gave them all the good things. She had been trying to find fault with the third house. However, Ruan never made a fuss with her, which saved her from many quarrels.

Now that Yuan Caijun has been dismissed, she will not give up easily!

The two came to the main hall.

Except for Jiang Zhongming who was fighting outside and Jiang Yanzhou who was out, all the members of the Jiang family were present!

Ruan Shi watched Jiang Shuyu and the other person come in safely, and her heart finally relaxed. However, when she thought about what happened this time, her brows knitted tightly. She looked at the two people and was about to speak.

Yuan Peishan's crying became louder. Ruan took one look at Yuan Peishan and immediately protected the two of them behind her. She then looked at Old Madam Jiang and said,

"Mother, since this is a competition, this matter cannot be considered the fault of one side. Although it is worrying that Prince Yuan has suffered this disaster, my son cannot be blamed for it. We will accept any compensation. But if you want Xu'er to pay for Prince Yuan's life, I am not afraid even if it means going to the throne!"

Jiang Shuyu's eyes darkened when she heard Ruan's words. She didn't expect that they would be convicted in this way even though they were not at home. Looking at Jiang Hongtai's gloomy face, Jiang Shuyu knew in her heart that this matter must be related to him.

Seeing Ruan being so unruly, Yuan Peishan didn't care about crying anymore. She immediately stood up, looked at Jiang Shuyu and the others with a vicious look, and then knelt in front of Madam Jiang and accused her:

"Mother, I know that they are your legitimate grandchildren and they please you deeply, but the country has its laws and the family has its rules. You can't condone their violence just because you favor them!

Now the talented man is seriously injured and unconscious, dying. He is the only son of the Yuan family! Even if the daughter-in-law does not pursue the matter, the Marquis of Yongchang and the Imperial Concubine will not be able to report to the emperor! The daughter-in-law is also doing this for the good of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion!"

Knowing that Madam Jiang favored the third wife, Jiang Hongtai hurried out and said, "Mother, Concubine Yuan is in great favor right now. If our Duke Dingguo Mansion doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it!

Pei Shan's words were not without reason, but she was just a daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, so her voice was not taken seriously! Being caught between the two governments was even more difficult! She still needed her mother's judgment!

Old Madam Jiang's face was gloomy, and she tightly grasped the Buddhist beads in her hand. How could she not see the hidden meaning of Jiang Hongtai's words? In recent years, the Duke's Mansion has become increasingly poor, and Zhong Ming is also far away at the border. Otherwise, how could they be allowed to act so presumptuously in front of the Duke's Mansion?

"Prince Yuan was seriously injured and unconscious. This is something no one could have imagined. But since it has already happened, regardless of whether he is right or wrong, Xu'er should also take the blame. But asking Xu'er to pay with his life, second brother, this is probably not appropriate!" Jiang Mingxuan frowned and looked at Jiang Hongtai with disapproval in his eyes.

"Brother, there's nothing we can do about this. I just came back from the Yuan Mansion and I didn't even get through the door. The Marquis of Yongchang even said Xu'er would pay with his life, which shows that Prince Yuan is in great danger. If this matter gets brought to the attention of His Majesty, wouldn't our Dingguo Mansion be accused of lax management? I'm afraid the other younger generations will be implicated as well!"

Knowing that Jiang Mingxuan attached great importance to the reputation of the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Hongtai put this matter in front of him. Such a mediocre person is the Duke of Dingguo. How unfair is God.

"What should I do?" Jiang Mingxuan was at a loss for a moment and looked at Old Madam Jiang.

Before Mrs. Jiang could speak, the doorman's anxious voice came from outside the door, and everyone couldn't help but look outside.

"Madam, outside, the Yuan family has come knocking on our door. They want to take the fourth young master Jiang away and convict him! Please go over and take a look!"

"Everyone takes responsibility for their own actions. I, Jiang Yanxu, will never bring trouble to the Jiang family!" Jiang Yanxu turned around and left.

Madam Jiang's eyes darkened, and she slammed her hand on the table. "Stop! Even if the Duke's Mansion isn't as glorious as it used to be, we can't tolerate people being so arrogant right in front of our door. Let's go over and take a look. I want to see for myself what they want!"

Outside the gate, the housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion blocked the doorway with an imposing manner. Seeing Old Madam Jiang coming out, he couldn't help but bow and salute: "Old Madam, my young master is now in a coma and dying. My master has specially ordered me to bring the murderer back. If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me!"

Madam Jiang snorted coldly, her eyes dismissive. "I wonder whose orders your Lordship received to come to my Dingguo Mansion to arrest someone! My Dingguo Mansion is made up of three generations of loyal and valiant elders. How could we tolerate your actions?"

Yuan Fu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Jiang Hongtai secretly, and immediately nodded slightly.

Seeing that Old Madam Jiang was unmoved, Jiang Hongtai quickly stepped forward and looked at Old Madam Jiang to console her, "Mother, Lord Yuan is furious now. Why don't we just follow his wishes and wait until Prince Yuan is out of danger, then we can discuss this matter properly.

This way, we can not only let Concubine Yuan see our sincerity, but also calm Lord Yuan's anger and save the reputation of the Duke Dingguo Mansion. What do you think?"
