Steward Tao also sighed, went into the mansion to get a visiting card and went to Jingzhao Prefecture to file a complaint.

Rong Xiu listened for a long time inside the door, then called Rong Tang in, "Did you go and beat up Yang just now?"

"Shouldn't she fight?"

Rong Xiu paused for a moment and said, "You may not know yet, but after Jin Shizhao came out, he made Yang his wife. Now she can indeed be considered your concubine mother."

It was also because Jin Shizhao did not hold a grand banquet to announce it to the public, otherwise, if it were in another family, Rong Tang would have to call him her biological mother.

But Rong Tang was disgusted.

"Don't worry about this, Auntie. Jin Shizhao is a son-in-law. Apart from his relationship with the Bo's Mansion, the others have nothing to do with me. Since Yang was the one who did this, if I just let it go, they will find many opportunities to use me in the future."

He will buy more land and property. If this matter is not resolved, Jin Shizhao will sell one of them when he runs out of money. Some people just want to watch the fun and make trouble for him.

Rong Xiu was about to persuade him again, "Tang, your reputation..."

"Grandma, life is all about living to the fullest. This damn reputation is making every step of my life difficult, so I'd rather not have it. Someone, close the door. Don't let the Madam hear my plea for mercy."

Rong Xiu's lips trembled twice. The servant following Rong Tang had already persuaded her to go back and closed the door of the Earl's Mansion.

Rongxiu was trembling inside, "What does he want to do?"

Mother Yao advised, "Madam, we all rely on the prince for our livelihood. It's enough for us to live peacefully in the mansion. We shouldn't stop the prince from doing anything."

Rong Xiu's expression changed. "Do you also think I'm meddling?"

"That's not the case. Madam Tai sincerely wants the best for the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince has his own ideas. Since you can't control them, don't argue with him. That's how it is. Just stay in the backyard and pretend you know nothing."

When Rong Tang came to the Jin family again, his expression was calm.

He brought a chair to the courtyard and sat down, ordering his men, "Come here, tie up the master."

Even the most loyal servants couldn't immediately carry out this order. Rong Zhan looked around and decided to go in person, his arms tied tightly behind his back amid Jin Shizhao's roars of helplessness and fury.

"Go and tie up all the concubines and illegitimate children of the Jin family, and go find the pawnbrokers."

Jin Shizhao was horrified, "Rebellious son, what are you doing?"

Rong Tang touched the Buddhist beads in his hand, took them off, and twisted them one by one. It was ironic that what he was supposed to do was to go against Tian Gang, but now he could twist the Buddhist beads calmly.

"Jin Shizhao, you've never really understood your true identity. You're a married-in, yet you committed adultery and fathered a bastard child, and now you're plotting to wipe out the entire family. Your evil intentions are abhorrent to both humans and gods. Now, as the heir apparent of the Earl of Jian'an, I declare your marriage to my mother invalid. I'll have the elders of the clan open the ancestral hall as witnesses, and I'll divorce you from the Earl's mansion. From now on, you'll have no financial connection with the Rong family."

Jin Shizhao was furious, "Rebellious son... Rong Tang, how dare you, you bastard, how dare you..."

Rong Tang's eyes narrowed, and he heard a different meaning in his tone.

"Rebellious son, I am your father, the one you must respect and obey for the rest of your life. Don't think I won't sue you again. If word gets out that you dare to divorce me, even His Majesty in the Golden Palace won't be able to protect you."

"is it?"

Rong Tang spoke slowly, and time passed by bit by bit. The other two concubines of the Jin family, Luo and Wei, as well as their son and daughter, were all tied up and brought in, then thrown into the yard crying.

"Where's Jin Yaoyang?"

The servant replied, "Your Highness, Jin Yaoyang is not at home. The gatekeeper said he often goes out to visit brothels at night."

Rong Tang had a strange smile on his face, "It's him? And he's visiting a brothel? Okay, go get some people and bring him back."

Jin Shizhao roared again, "What do you want to do? What do you want to do?"

"What am I doing? Jin Shizhao, have you ever seen a married woman bring three or four illicit lovers along with her? You are a son-in-law, so you should be aware of your role as a woman. Since you don't want to leave the Jian'an Earl's Mansion, then you and these illicit women can be thrown into the pig cage together! Come on, put the master in the cage..."

"You dare, you dare..."

Jin Shizhao whimpered, but Rong Zhan was quick to stuff the stinky socks Yang had vomited into his mouth and offered a suggestion: "Master, if you put it in a pig cage, you still have to throw it into the pond. Why not just find a vat and fill it with water? The effect will be the same."

"This is a great plan."

The jar was brought and filled with water. Rong Tang said expressionlessly, "Execution."

The servants didn't dare to do anything, so Rong Zhan stepped forward and carried Jin Shizhao, turned his head down and his feet up, and pressed him into the water tank. The concubines and illegitimate children in the yard screamed in fear.

Jin Shizhao was just a weakling who didn't even have the strength to struggle. He just kicked his legs randomly in the air, getting faster and faster, and then slower and slower.

Amid the cries of women and children, Rong Zhan picked up Jin Shizhao and threw him to the ground, and did not move for a long time.

"Well done, I'll give you a hundred taels."

Rong Zhan bowed and thanked him, "Thank you for the reward, Master."

The remaining servants were all jealous. They had been punished for more than a month, eating pig and dog food and doing the work of cattle and horses. They were getting more and more desperate day by day. They wanted to die but couldn't bear to give up their lives. Rong Zhan earned the money too easily.

Suddenly, Jin Shizhao coughed twice and recovered his breath.

"Huh? Not drowned! Come again!"

This time, Rong Tang didn't need to call out names, as several servants rushed forward, "Prince, here comes the servant, here comes the servant."

Four men held Jin Shizhao and pushed him into the water tank again. Rong Zhan watched from the side, and when the time was right, he picked him up and threw him to the ground.

After repeating this three times, Jin Shizhao collapsed, "I want to divorce... I want to divorce... I, I am willing to divorce..."

"It's Yijue."

Jin Shizhao's face was pale, and his whole body was shaking. "You, don't go too far."

As soon as Rong Tang raised his hand, the servants, who had already been daring to death, rushed forward. Jin Shizhao was frightened and cried out, "I sign, I sign."

Rong Wanli walked into the house and quickly wrote a letter of severance. He came in front of Jin Shizhao, cut his finger, pressed a bloody fingerprint, handed him the brush, and signaled him to sign with his eyes.

The humiliation in Jin Shizhao's eyes was almost like a river.

After signing, Rong Tang looked over the document and found no problem. He handed it to Rong Wanli and said, "Take it to Jingzhao Prefecture for stamping."

Rong Wanli took the order and left.

He continued with his head down: "Break Yang's legs. Break them into three pieces so they won't grow back properly."

Amidst Yang's pig-slaughtering cries, the sticks fell heavily, and this time, no one showed mercy.

Yang's legs twisted in a strange arc and she fainted from the pain.

As they got closer, a few drops of blood splashed on Rong Tang's face, which was inexplicably eerie. Rong Tang didn't even wipe it off, but turned to look at the Luo and Wei families and their children.

Several people were terrified and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy. Luo said kindly, "My Lord, since I came into the mansion, I have always been well-behaved and have never done anything to hurt Madam Rong. Since I haven't done anything serious, please let us go."

"Nothing wrong? You appeared in front of my mother, and you hurt her. She has a heart disease. Every time you anger her, her life will be shortened. Don't complain to me about your grievances. Since you have done this, you must honestly pay the consequences."

Luo cried, "But which man in this world doesn't have three wives and four concubines? The madam is wronged, she is also a madam, so wouldn't it be even more wronged for us to be concubines?"

"I'll tell you why, Luo. Other men in this world may be qualified to have three wives and four concubines, but Jin Shizhao is not. This is because other men are capable and talented, and they can support their women on their own. Jin Shizhao is a son-in-law, a gigolo himself, and he doesn't deserve it."
