The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Jiang Yunzhou was beaten.

People throughout the capital were whispering about how he had been beaten with fifty sticks and was covered in blood.

The prince of Anping Marquis's Mansion was so high-spirited and elegant back then, but now he is so miserable.

At this time, the news that Li Taohua was Jiang Yunzhou's biological mother spread.

After this news came out, a wave of people immediately suppressed it, but it still spread quickly. Needless to say, not many people knew about this matter, and the only one who spread it widely was that person.

Unfortunately for him, Li Taohua would also be cursed, and the reputation of Tang Yichen, the elegant gentleman, would also be ruined.

Qin Huiyin rushed back to Tang Mansion after learning about this.

"Where's the lady?" she asked the housekeeper.

"My wife is cutting flowers in the backyard."

Qin Huiyin rushed to the backyard and saw Li Taohua pruning flowers in the garden.

She cut the flowers that were in full bloom and told the maid beside her to sort them out, using some for flower arrangement and some for making flower cakes.

"Mom..." Qin Huiyin looked at Li Taohua.

Li Taohua looked up and said with a smile, "How come you have time to come back and visit today?"

"I want to eat the flower cakes my mother made."

"Okay, I'll do it myself later." Li Taohua handed the flowers in her hand to the maid, "Clean it up."

Qin Huiyin took Li Taohua's arm and walked towards the pavilion not far away: "Mom, where is Uncle Tang?"

"He went to buy me some peach cakes," Li Taohua said. "A new shop opened recently, and their peach cakes are especially delicious."

There was a noise coming from the front, and then a servant came in carrying the injured Tang Dafu.

"How did this happen?" Li Taohua said nervously.

"The master had an argument with someone, and those people seemed to be beating him to death. Fortunately, the soldiers from the military department stopped them when they passed by." said the attendant.

"He has always been timid and cowardly. I have never seen him make enemies with anyone. How could he have an argument with others?" Li Taohua asked.

Tang Dafu said weakly: "Wife, it's okay, I'm just tired from fighting, I'll be fine after a rest."

"Go get a doctor quickly. Xiao Ge'er is in the Imperial Hospital, so we won't be able to find him for a while. We can only get a doctor outside."

"The housekeeper has already sent someone to invite him."

"Then help him go in and rest."

Qin Huiyin almost knew what had caused Tang Dafu's argument. Tang Dafu had few aspirations or ideals, simply craving a peaceful and comfortable life. All these years, he'd wanted nothing more than to be by Li Taohua's side, doing nothing, going nowhere. He was emotionally stable, and the only things that could cause him to lose control were his children and Li Taohua, with Li Taohua being his Achilles' heel.

He must have heard the gossip while buying peach cakes and couldn't help but take action.

Li Taohua followed Tang Dafu inside.

Qin Huiyin called over Tang Dafu's entourage and said, "Tell me everything about how the master fought with others."

The attendant told her what had just happened.

In fact, it was pretty much what she had guessed. When Tang Dafu was buying peach cakes, he happened to hear those gossipers talking about the affair between Li Taohua and the former Earl of Ping'an. They also mentioned Li Taohua's past of marrying three husbands, and made up stories about her being a loose woman who had hooked up with men everywhere.

Tang Dafu couldn't stand hearing this and started fighting right there. The man didn't want to be outdone and started fighting with him.

"This is the first time I've seen the master fight. I was worried that he would suffer a loss, but it turned out that the master was very strong and the man was injured even more seriously." The follower praised.

Qin Huiyin frowned: "You said that person's injuries were serious?"

"Yes!"

"Is it okay?"

"When we separated, everything was fine. We were still cursing at the master!"

"Send someone immediately to find out who this person is and see how he's doing..."

The housekeeper came in from outside and said to Qin Huiyin, "Second Miss, there is a commotion at the door, saying that the master has beaten someone to death."

Qin Huiyin's heart skipped a beat.

What she worried about happened.

It has been a turbulent time recently. Their Tang Mansion and Song Mansion are being closely watched by the evil man Ming Fashi. Any mistake can easily lead to trouble.

"I gonna go see."

At the gate of the Tang residence, a blind old woman hugged a pale-faced middle-aged man, weeping heartbrokenly. Nearby were a dozen farmers armed with hoes and other weapons. They shouted and cursed at the Tang residence, even throwing rotten eggs inside.

Their throwing stopped when the door opened.

Qin Huiyin stood in front of everyone.

They didn't expect that the person who came out was a young lady, and she was so beautiful, so they hesitated for a moment.

"The person in front of you is the wife of the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate. If you dare to attack her with your things again, you will be arrested and thrown into jail immediately," the housekeeper shouted angrily.

The farmers immediately stopped doing anything.

"What are you doing?" Qin Huiyin asked.

"My son is dead. He was beaten to death by your family..." the blind old woman cried, "Give me back my son's life..."

"We have reported it to the authorities, and they will give us justice." One of the farmers shouted.

Dadada! The people from the Light and Dark Law arrived.

"Someone reported to the police that Tang Dafu from your mansion had beaten someone to death." Jiang Yunzhou's right-hand man, Lin Ye, made a gesture, "Go in and arrest the man."

"Wait a minute..." Qin Huiyin stopped at the door. "We haven't verified whether this person is dead or how he died."

"Mrs. Song, just rest assured. We at the Mingfa Division will not wrongly accuse any good person. Since someone has reported the case, we will find out the cause of death."

"Since when has the Ministry of Justice been responsible for cases like this?" Qin Huiyin said, "It could be the Jingzhao Prefecture, the Dali Temple, or the Ministry of Justice, but it shouldn't be the Ministry of Justice."

"We, the Mingfa Division, specialize in handling matters of injustice. Since the case has been brought to our Division, we should of course take charge."

"Does your General Manager Jiang know? Oh, I almost forgot. Your General Manager Jiang should still be lying in bed and unable to get up, right? He's busy with his own affairs right now and can't care about these injustices."

"Mrs. Song, even if you are the wife of a court official, you have no right to interfere in court affairs. If you continue to interfere with our work, we will have no choice but to bring you in for investigation."

"The Law of Light and Darkness is so powerful." Tang Yichen appeared with officials from the Ministry of Justice. "Since this is a murder case, of course it must be handed over to our Ministry of Justice for investigation."

"This matter concerns Lord Tang's biological father. I'm afraid Lord Tang should avoid suspicion, right?" Lin Ye is worthy of being the most obedient dog around Jiang Yunzhou. He bites Tang Yichen and won't let go.

Qin Huiyin would not believe that Jiang Yunzhou had no hand in what happened today.

From spreading rumors to angering Tang Dafu, everything was Jiang Yunzhou's plan. Even if Tang Dafu didn't fall for it today, he would fall for it another day because Jiang Yunzhou had his eye on him.

Pick out the soft persimmons and pinch them.
