It seemed that Rong Zhan was really a little anxious. Rong Tang still had a trace of doubt in his heart. Just as he was about to stop him, the gate was kicked open for the second time. Nangong Jing rushed in with three squads of yamen runners, "Stop."

If someone else had tried to stop him, Rong Zhan would have just ignored them and killed them directly. It was a fact that Yao's mother had stolen the master's property, and even Rong Xiu didn't have the ability to turn the tables.

But at Nangong Jing's order, Rong Zhan stopped abruptly and stared at Rong Xiu.

As soon as Rong Xiu saw the person coming, he immediately ran a few steps and hid behind Nangong Jing, pointing at Rong Tang and shouting, "He is not the blood of our Rong family. He is fake, fake. Lord, he wants to kill Mother Yao now, not for anything else, but because Mother Yao is the only one who knows the truth."

The three shifts of yamen runners and the servants of the Marquis's residence heard it clearly. Nangong Jing also frowned and looked at Rong Tang and said, "Does Marquis Jian'an have anything to say?"

Rong Tang adjusted his slightly crooked bun and spoke slowly, "Of course I have something to say. It was originally a family matter, and it should be resolved privately. Since someone has reported it to the authorities, let's resolve it in court. My lord, please return to Jingzhao Prefecture!"

Rong Zhan ordered the servants in the Bo Mansion to pick up the items on the ground. Rong Xiu was about to go over to stop him, but Rong Zhan pushed her away and said, "Get out of the way. This is the family property earned by our master. It has nothing to do with you."

Rong Xiu was pushed to the ground and for a moment she held her stomach with her hands, her face pale, but no one cared about her life or death anymore.

Mother Yao and her nephew were escorted back to Jingzhao Prefecture, with Rongxiu staggering behind them. After a long time, they arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture and saw a young man standing in the main hall. He was tall and distinguished, with a clear and distinguished temperament.

Rong Xiu rushed over and hugged him tightly, "Yaohui, are you okay? Did they give you any trouble?"

The young man named Yaohui shook his head slightly, "The prefect treats me very well."

He walked towards Rong Tang and gave a student's salute, polite yet dignified, "Earl of Jian'an."

Rong Xiu said excitedly, "Yaohui, don't bow to him. You are the true heir of the Earl's Mansion, and the title of Earl of Jian'an should be yours. I always say that the bloodline of our Earl should be a polite and noble young man, not a villain who is condemned by thousands of people."

Rong Zhan's eyes were red with anger. "Bitch, what are you talking about? The master has raised you for so long, and yet you have developed this evil mentality of repaying kindness with enmity."

Rong Xiu seemed to have gained supreme confidence as she confronted Rong Zhan. "What do you mean by ungrateful? The Earl's Mansion originally belonged to our Rong family. He's just a fake who came here to usurp our title and property. Even if this matter is reported to the Emperor, he will be punished for the serious crime of deceiving the emperor."

Rong Zhan was furious, "Bitch..."

Rong Tang raised his hand to stop him, then turned to look at the young Yao Hui, "Do you think so too?"

The young man Yao Hui said calmly, "I dare not. As long as I have not received the approval of His Majesty, the title will not be granted to me."

"But you've already decided in your heart that you are the heir of Earl Jian'an, right?"

The young Yaohui pursed his lips and said nothing, but Rongxiu was indignant, "Not only did you usurp Yaohui's title and property, you also snatched his engagement. Miss Tang, no, Princess Changping, she should have been our Yaohui's fiancée."

Rong Tang smiled brightly, "Do you really think so? Without me in the way, you will become the Earl of Jian'an, His Majesty's son-in-law?"

The young man Yaohui frowned slightly. The irony of these words was too strong and made people feel uncomfortable.

"The marriage contract was arranged by parents, so it's up to us to decide. Titles and property may be external things, but the marriage contract is about human relations and should not be taken lightly."

"It sounds like he's righteous and awe-inspiring. He's indeed worthy of being a young scholar."

No one else spoke, only Rong Xiu looked proud and smug, "The descendants of our Rong family are naturally excellent, they don't rely on cheating, fighting and killing to be instructed by others."

Rong Zhan howled in anger, "You ungrateful bitch, when this is over, I'm going to throw you back to Baimei Temple to chant sutras."

Rong Xiu's face was pale. The twenty years of bitter cold had already made the fear deep into her bones.

Nangong Jing paced several times, looking very embarrassed. "Mr. Jian'an, what do you think we should do?"

Rong Tang blinked, "I was just about to ask you what to do."

He stroked his chin, somewhat distressed. "With my current status, it would be easy for me to kill them silently. Now you know that. How can I bribe you with just a few conditions?"

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone present to hear, and it scared the four plaintiffs so much that their hair stood on end.

Seeing this, the handsome scholar face of the young man Yaohui changed color.

Rong Xiu's face turned pale, "You...you dare..."

Rong Tang spread his hands and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? You know I've always been ruthless and merciless. I have no problem killing you. You don't think Lord Nangong Jing would fight me for you, do you?"

Rong Xiu was about to collapse, and Nangong Jing spoke at the right time, "Don't make trouble."

Pulling Rong Tang aside, he frowned and said, "This is difficult to handle. If it's true, I can't ignore Uncle Rong's bloodline and only favor you, you know..."

"I know. Uncle Rong saved you. Don't worry, I'm just kidding."

Nangong Jing was worried, "Looking at the boy's appearance, he doesn't look fake."

Rong Tang noticed the young Yao Hui's appearance the moment he saw him. His face was full of the unmistakable resemblance to Jin Shizhao. One can't tell until one compares. Of a hundred people, one hundred would say Rong Tang must be a fake.

But precisely because of this, Rong Tang became more stable.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Just make a fair judgment according to the law. To be fair, he and I will each find witnesses and evidence. Is that okay?"

Nangong Jing looked at him in confusion. At this point, his identity was most likely lost. What witnesses could he find to prove it?

Rong Tang's next instructions were even more confusing. "Rong Zhan, go and invite the village elders and Lord Sima Xin. Rong Shen, go and invite Elder Zhang Pojun."

When Rong Xiu heard about the group of people he invited, her expression relaxed. She just couldn't believe that the old cousins ​​who had always been upright would ignore the blood of the old uncle.

To everyone's surprise, the elders of Rongjia Village and Rong Dajiang and his son were the first to arrive. Upon inquiry, they learned that Rong Tang had sent someone to invite them to the Bo Mansion early in the morning, saying that something was about to happen.

Several people came to the main hall of Jingzhao Prefecture and started discussing what had happened. They didn't know what had happened. They asked Rong Tang, but Rong Tang sipped his tea and pursed his lips. "Ask Taigu. She seems to be very resentful towards me. Today she is the plaintiff."

The old men lost their temper and started to scold Rong Xiu. Rong Xiu felt wronged and helpless, "My three cousins, I didn't mean to make such a fuss. He was too bullying, so I had no choice..."

Housekeeper Tao angrily scolded, "What do you mean by having no choice? Several masters and aunts have colluded with the servants to steal the mansion's property to support their lovers. If this gets out, will our mansion still have any face?"

The three masters were horrified. A woman colluding with a maid to have an affair with a man outside her family was a shameful and scandalous act no matter how you looked at it. If Rong Xiu really did this in the Earl's Mansion, it would not only be her own face that would be disgraced.

Rong Xiu burst into tears, "I didn't... I found my uncle's grandson and wanted him to live a better life. Am I wrong? Look at him... Yaohui, let the uncles see who is real and who is fake. It will be clear at a glance."

The three masters' heads were buzzing, and before they could react, Yaohui was pushed in front of them. They all knew Jin Shizhao, and this face was more convincing than Rong Tang's.

Mother Yao also added at this time, "Yaohui is Madam's biological son."
