The eldest son is fierce

During this period, Tang Jing was almost fed up with this son who was acting out of character and opposing him in every way.

Whether outside or inside, he didn't want to hear any news about his son.

He was imprisoned in the Imperial Guard? If he really was, that would be great.

It would be best to lock him up for ten or eight years, so that this rebellious son won’t go against him in everything and be annoying.

Of course, this matter cannot be known to Old Lady Liu, otherwise how can she risk the lives of Liu Gongjin and Liu Wenyan to take the Liu family heirloom?

"What? Wen Yan was also arrested by the Imperial Guard?"

Tang Jing pretended to be shocked and said, "Mom, let's go inside and talk. You're not in good health, so don't stand there."

Tang Jing personally helped Madam Liu to sit in the mansion. He poured her a cup of tea and said, "Mother, this is my fault. It was my fault for not disciplining her properly. This caused Tang Yi to get into trouble and implicated Wen Yan."

Madam Liu looked up: "Causing trouble?"

"Well, they caused trouble at Huanyinfang two days ago."

Tang Jing knew about the conflict between Tang Yi and Liu Zhou in Huanyinfang. Because of this, Liu Wen had been gritting his teeth whenever he saw him recently, wishing he could fight him.

"The background of Huanyinfang is very strong. Even I am afraid of it."

Tang Jing's face darkened. "That bastard is such a jerk! If he had told me earlier that Yan'er had been captured, I would have asked for Yan'er too when the Jinyiwei and I went to retrieve him."

"In the end, after we rescued him, he didn't say a word."

Tang Jing didn't like the Liu family, so he took this opportunity to completely cut off contact between Tang Yi and the Liu family.

At the same time, it also cut off Tang Yi's retreat.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Old Lady Liu couldn't help but frown. Although she didn't believe everything Tang Jing said, if Tang Yi was really rescued, he should tell her about Wen Yan's arrest!

Even if Tang Jing didn't care, he could still find the Liu family and explain to them the reason for his arrest.

However, Tang Yi didn't say a word.

Could it be that the child who was obedient and sensible before has really become bad now?

Jiang's eyes flickered, and she looked up at the sky, feeling guilty.

She had already learned about Tang Yi's involvement with the Jinyiwei from the informant yesterday, but she was too lazy to tell him just to increase the old lady's sense of crisis.

Besides, Tang Yi is timid and cowardly, so he can't accomplish anything.

"Mom, Xiaoyi would not do such a thing." Shen was very sure, she believed in Tang Yi.

"Oh, Madam, what you mean is, is my husband lying?"

Yan Shuangyu curled her lips in disdain and said disdainfully, "Your Liu family is so destitute now that even dogs can't get in. Is there any need for my husband to lie to you?"

Having said this, Yan Shuangyu walked to Tang Jing's side, her face full of pride and ridicule.

"When I came to Kyoto, you all kept saying I was a country woman. But even though I'm a country woman, my eldest son won the imperial examination, my second son is a wealthy businessman famous in Kyoto, and my third son is a general guarding the border."

"Haha, the Liu family is a well-known and prestigious family. But Tang Yi, who has Liu family blood, is such a rubbish and ungrateful person."

"Tsk tsk, I wonder how disappointed Sister Ruyu would be if she were still in heaven!"

When she entered the Tang family, she was humiliated by the Liu family. Now she has finally been humiliated. She feels refreshed and comfortable all over.

Oh, you looked down on me back then? Now, I'm out of your reach.

Old Madam Liu's face looked grim. Her daughter was being humiliated in such a way that she was burning with anger and subconsciously clenched her cane.

When Shen saw that Tang Jing only took a sip of the teacup and did not stop Yan Shuangyu, she understood that Yan Shuangyu's humiliation of the Liu family was indulged by Tang Jing.

He is also taking revenge on the Liu family!

But without the help of the Liu family, could Tang Jing have been able to sit in the position of Minister of Personnel today?

Shen's anger also rose. She was about to retort, "Tang Hua got the top three places in the imperial examination? If Tang Yi had the same education, he wouldn't necessarily be worse than Tang Hua."

But before she could finish her words, Old Madam Liu raised her hand, grabbed her wrist, and shook her head slightly.

If you want to ask for help from others, you must be prepared to be humiliated.

The old lady was already prepared, but when she looked up at Tang Jing who was sitting opposite her, her heart was still consumed by endless anger and humiliation. Because of this hypocritical man, she lost her husband and most beloved daughter in the space of a year.

And now, in order to save her grandson and son, she had to beg this man again.

The old lady trembled slightly, opened her mouth several times, and finally uttered a hoarse voice: "Lord Tang, I wonder if you can help clear the blockage and save Wen Yan."

"As for Gongjin...if possible, try to keep his body intact."

After thinking about it all night last night, the old lady could not think of any way to break the deadlock.

She wanted to go and ask Concubine Xian for help. Concubine Xian and her daughter were best friends, so there was definitely hope if she could ask Concubine Xian for help.

However, the harem is not allowed to interfere in political affairs. If the virtuous concubine pleads for Liu Gongjin, she will probably be attacked by everyone.

She couldn't let Concubine Xian fall out of favor or even be banished to the cold palace because of her son.

Hearing the old lady's words, Shen closed her eyes in pain.

Her husband...is he really beyond saving?

Tang Jing's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

That’s what I’ve been waiting for!

"Mom, don't say that. I will definitely help with the Liu family's affairs if I can..."

Tang Jing put down his teacup, his expression calm.

But before he could finish, Yan Shuangyu hugged his arm and said, "Husband, have you forgotten how they treated you in the first place? Why are you helping them?"

"Back then, out of respect, they begged His Majesty to issue an edict to reprimand you, which nearly ruined your future."

"If you weren't so capable, you would have been exiled to who knows where by now!"

"Now they say help, so you help?"

Yan Shuangyu folded her hands and glanced at Old Madam Liu: "Old Madam Liu, if you want to ask for help, you should act like one who asks for help."

"Your daughter is dead. There is no longer any bond between your Liu family and our Tang family."

"You want my husband to help you save someone? Sure, but if you want to beg... you have to kneel down and beg."

Old Madam Liu's hunched body suddenly trembled.

Shen's face turned pale as she stood in front of Old Lady Liu and said, "Master Tang, take good care of your woman. Although Ruyu is gone, she still has children. My mother is still your mother."

"Can you bear it if I ask my mother to kneel down and beg you?"

Tang Jing looked up at Shen, his eyes cold. "Oh? Sister-in-law, are you here to ask me to do something? Or are you here to teach me how to do something?"

"If you're here to teach me how to do things, then please go ahead. It's not someone else's place to tell me what to do when I, Tang Jing, am doing something."

"You..." Shen's face suddenly turned cold.

"Oh, sister-in-law, please stop talking!"

Jiang held Shen hostage and said, "We came here today to ask Lord Tang to help save Xiaoyi and Big Brother, not to show his displeasure."

"Let's just listen to mother in everything!"

Yan Shuangyu stared at Old Lady Liu jokingly, but the old lady looked at Tang Jing calmly.

If she kneels today, the Liu family will no longer have any face, and all the good reputation they had before will become a knife shot at the Liu family.

But if she doesn't kneel, Liu Gongjin will surely die, and his grandson Liu Wenyan will most likely be implicated as well.

If Liu Wenyan died, the Liu family's inheritance would be broken.

"Master Tang, I beg you on my knees, can you save my grandson?"

The old lady asked in a deep voice, clutching her cane.
