Teaming up with her mother to take revenge on the scumbags! The Crown Princess becomes the darling o

He grabbed the thread and immediately began to argue, his excitement causing the wound on his arm to bleed even more. Unfortunately, now was not the time to worry about that. Lü Yi took two steps forward on his knees, then said anxiously.

"After the banquet ended today, my mother and I were about to leave, but my nephew suddenly needed to relieve himself, which delayed us for a moment. When we got to the restroom, everything was fine until I suddenly felt dizzy and then everything went black. I lost consciousness. To be honest, I have no recollection of what happened after that. When I woke up again, it was the second young master of the Marquis's mansion who kicked me! Uncle, you are wise. Someone must have tried to harm me. They might have given me some kind of strong drug in the restroom to make me like this!"

His analysis was very logical and reasonable, and even his mother, who was standing next to him, agreed with it.

Raising a son is difficult, so if she hadn't been a strong-willed woman all these years, she probably would have been bullied to no end.

Upon hearing her son's words, she immediately sat up, her eyes flashing with anger, and then she cursed!

"There are treacherous people in the Vice Minister's residence who have harmed my son to this extent. Vice Minister Chi, why don't you hurry up and find the real culprit to clear my son's name!"

clean?!

Chi Yunjing laughed when he heard this. "You want me to clear your son's name? Then who will clear my second sister's name, and the maids and old women in the house? They were all defiled by your good son!"

Mother Lü was rebuffed and found it difficult to retort.

But she always had the temper to argue even when she was wrong, and then she shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Since we're going to be husband and wife sooner or later anyway, let's just move the marriage forward. As for the maids who will come with us as dowry, if they're sensible and obedient, we can make them concubines. If they cause a big fuss, the Vice Minister should deal with them as soon as possible. The old women won't dare to make a fuss about it for the sake of their reputation. At worst, once this storm has passed, we can find a reason to send them all to the estate to be detained. We're not afraid of them causing trouble!"

"You're good at disclaiming blame for your son; he's the real culprit!"

If Chi Yunjing, who has served as an official for so many years, were to be easily swayed by a few words from Lü's mother, wouldn't that make him a laughingstock?

Upon hearing this, Lü Yi felt somewhat guilty.

Regardless, my future father-in-law is right. These people's innocence was indeed ruined by their own hands. But what if he jumps out to take responsibility at this time and the Vice Minister's Mansion blames him severely?

So she hid behind her mother, not intending to face it.

Seeing him like this, Chi Yunjing was utterly disappointed.

I didn't expect this son-in-law to be particularly strong or capable, but his cowardice and timidity mean that even if he enters officialdom in the future, he won't be a staunch ally.

Therefore, after realizing this, he didn't want his daughter to get married.

Consort Lü's immense wealth in the palace was still just a facade, but he had truly experienced firsthand how disgusting this mother and son were.

His face darkened, and his eyes began to show his intention to sever ties with her. Even if Lu's mother was stupid, she could understand that if things did not end well today, her son would probably be killed in the Vice Minister's mansion. Therefore, she immediately softened her mind and said.

“Minister Chi, what are you saying? We’ll be in-laws in the future, why be so heartless? No matter how bad Shao Tong is, he’s still Consort Lü’s younger brother and the Seventh Princess’s maternal uncle. Putting aside the future, even now, if something really happens in the Minister’s residence, it won’t just be our Lü family that loses face. If His Majesty finds out, our Lü family won’t fare well, but the Chi family might not be able to escape unscathed either. Besides, with the Second Miss already in such a state, what good marriage can she find?”

"Do you threaten me?"

Chi Yunjing looked at Lü's mother, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Since he wanted to cover this up, then of course none of those involved could be spared.

It's just that it's not appropriate to take action now, so I'm holding back and not making a move.

But if his mother insists on making a big fuss about this, he is capable of taking ruthless measures for the sake of his official reputation and dignity. So what if she is a concubine in the palace? Aren't there still the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, and the other ladies-in-waiting above her?

How much more trouble can she cause?

Therefore, Chi Yunjing put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and then spoke to Mother Lü.

"While my Chi family may not emerge unscathed, we hold the moral high ground. Even if our second daughter cannot remarry, we can still earn a reputation for strict family discipline by sending her to a family temple to live out her life! And what about your Lü family? Are you sure that the talented women and the seventh princess in the palace won't be affected by this incident, making their already difficult living space even smaller? Madam Lü, you can use these words to deceive ignorant women, but don't try to threaten me. I, Chi Yunjing, am not someone you can threaten!"

She made a move as if to order the steward to do something, which terrified Madam Lü.

Over the years, she has frequently used the concubines and the seventh princess in the palace to suppress outsiders, simply because she feels that having a daughter who was born a concubine is respectable and authoritative.

But when you really run into a tough opponent, there's really nothing you can do.

After all, the last time she saw Consort Lü and the Seventh Princess was several years ago. If she were truly influential in His Majesty's eyes, she wouldn't have had such difficulty even delivering a message.

Thinking of all this, my knees buckled, and I was just considering whether to plead for mercy when I heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Master, the second young lady has hanged herself!"

"What? They didn't stop them?"

"We managed to stop them, but the whole courtyard of the second young lady is shouting that they don't want to live anymore. Master, you must go and see! The madam can't be persuaded anymore!"

The old woman who brought the news was also crying with tears and snot streaming down her face.

Chi Yunjing tried to calm the anger in his chest and looked at the trembling mother and son of the Lü family before speaking.

"You'd better hope Second Sister is alright, otherwise I'll take this to the Emperor himself and let the whole world see what kind of son your Lü family has produced!"

After saying that, he left Lesheng Courtyard with the words "Lock him in the woodshed" and headed straight for Biyun Courtyard.

The steward didn't stand on ceremony with them, and had the servant gag them before carrying them to the woodshed.

This perfectly good day was ruined just like that, so not only the master of the house, but even the servants didn't give the Lü family mother and son a kind look.

The scene inside Biyun Courtyard was horrific.

Madam Guo, wailing and crying, hugged the heartbroken Chi Guiying and cried out, "Second sister, if you can't get over your hatred, take it out on your mother. Don't hurt yourself."

This time, she really wanted to die.

If hanging with a white silk ribbon doesn't work, there are other methods.

He figured he could at least bump into the pillar, so he mustered all his strength, pushed aside his mother, Madam Guo, and headed straight for the stone pillar by the door. He was so fast that no one could stop him!

Just as Chi Yunjing was about to enter, he was suddenly struck by an immense force that caused him to feel a sharp pain in his chest. He stumbled backward and fell down the steps, hitting his tailbone. In that instant, he felt as if blood was rushing to his head from a broken leg, and his face flushed as he cursed.

"Are you going to kill your father?"
