"Scaring my third sister-in-law has nothing to do with my father. At most, my third brother beat me!" Jiang Chengyi was confused and couldn't help shouting.

When Cen heard this, she became even angrier and sternly ordered the servant to hold him tight and not let him run away.

Originally, the servants did not use much force. After all, the twins were the most precious to the Madam, and they did not dare to be harsh with them. But now the Madam was obviously serious, and with such a serious order, they naturally did not dare to let them go.

"You still dare to be stubborn? Am I spoiling you too much?" Cen slapped him a few more times before stopping.

Recently, she and Marquis Zhongyi were getting a divorce. Every time the couple met, they would quarrel. All the trivial matters in the past were dug up, and all the old things were laid out to express their respective dissatisfaction.

In addition, the information provided by the system implicated Yu Jingxuan and her half-sister. The conflict was escalating and there was no sign of reconciliation. She had been very angry recently.

Now someone happened to bump into her, and she didn't care that this was her most beloved youngest son, she just wanted to slap him twice to vent her anger.

Besides, Cen was really worried. She was afraid that the two children would not take the matter seriously and leak out the fact that they could hear Xu Wanying's thoughts. That would be a bad ending.

Maybe the system, this magical artifact, would be scared away again, or maybe the system would patch this loophole and they would no longer be able to hear the conversations between the system and Xu Wanying. That would really be a loss.

"Why are you all protecting Xu? What kind of magic potion did she give you?"

Originally, Cen had stopped, but when he heard him shouting like that, he got angry again and slapped him again.

Jiang Chengyi started screaming again, but this time he didn't dare say anything bad about Xu Wanying anymore. He was probably scared after being beaten.

"Mom, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Third sister-in-law is a good person, and I am a bastard. I will never scare her again..."

Only after he begged for mercy again and again did Cen stop.

She rubbed her sore wrist, obviously too tired from beating him, and next time she would have to let the guards whip him.

"Come on, come back and talk to me."

The mother and her two children returned to Shoukang Garden. After they had dismissed all the maids around them and only the three of them were left, Cen spoke a little anxiously, "Did you encounter anything unusual in Qingxi Pavilion?"

Jiang Chengyi had just begged for mercy and shouted until his voice was hoarse. He was drinking tea at this moment, and when he heard this, he immediately became anxious.

He put down the teacup and said anxiously, "Mother, why are you asking again? What's the big deal? I took a snake and had a quarrel with my third sister-in-law, and then you beat me twice."

As soon as he said this, he was glared at by Cen.

"Look, why are you glaring at me again? Are you just looking for an excuse to hit me, so you keep asking me? If you want to hit me, just say so directly. There's no need to drag my third sister-in-law into this. I respect her now." He said in a rather sarcastic tone.

These words made Cen frown. She felt her hands itching again and wanted to hit someone again.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking a serious question."

"I answered very seriously!" Jiang Chengyi felt very aggrieved. The few words he just said were quite serious and there was no sense of being frivolous at all.

"Mom, let me tell you something. Brother, go sit in the east room first." Jiang Jinyu had already guessed what Cen wanted to ask, but Jiang Chengli couldn't hear the system, so it was useless to ask him.

She wanted to get him away.

"Why go to the east room? I'm tired too. Go back to my yard and rest. You can talk to mom." He waved his hand, stood up and prepared to leave.

"No, you can't go back to the yard, you must stay in Shoukang Garden!" Jiang Jinyu said urgently, his attitude was quite unquestionable.

She seemed quite excited when she said this, which attracted the attention of the other two.

"Jinyu, you seem very strange today. Why can't I go back to the yard? What happened in Qingxi Pavilion?" Jiang Chengyi obviously noticed it.

After all, they grew up together, and even though he was not a careful person, he noticed that his sister was unusual.

"Nothing—" She subconsciously said perfunctorily, but when she saw Jiang Chengyi's unbelieving look, she changed her words in time: "Go sit in the east room first, I'll talk to you later."

Jiang Chengyi shrugged and followed the maid to the east room.

When only the mother and daughter were in the room, Jiang Jinyu did not relax, but became tense instead, and said anxiously: "Mom, please send someone to watch my brother, I'm afraid he will sneak back to his yard."

Cen looked at her carefully and called the head maid to do the job.

"Tell me, what happened in Qingxi Pavilion that made you so nervous and even wanted to keep Yi'er under surveillance?" Cen went straight to the point and asked directly.

Jiang Jinyu seemed a little hesitant. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, obviously trying to calm herself down.

"It was mother who kept asking us if we had encountered any unusual things. I also want to know what happened to you with your third sister-in-law." She did not give a direct answer, but asked back.

Cen was slightly startled, and then she actually laughed, with a look of relief on her face.

"Good, you know how to turn the tables and never reveal your cards before making a move." She praised.

Jiang Jinyu felt a little embarrassed to be praised like this by her own mother.

She looked at her mother's gentle face, and her previous tense state dissipated a lot. As expected, when she came to her mother, she felt peace and warmth.

She simply stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly, "I don't know what you've been through, mother, but when I met Third Sister-in-law today, I was able to hear her inner thoughts, and the system also told her the secrets of the Marquis' Mansion."

The smile on Cen's face disappeared and he couldn't help but become serious.

"I heard it too."

Hearing this answer, Jiang Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she was not the only one who knew about this matter. She didn't have to think about it alone. At least there was someone she could discuss it with.

"Dad and Mom are asking for a divorce. Is it because they learned some secrets from Third Sister-in-law? Did it destroy the friendship between you two?" she asked tentatively.

Cen's face darkened and she said unhappily, "There was no friendship in the first place, so how could it be destroyed? It just revealed some facts, so that we know each other is false!"

When Jiang Jinyu heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She never expected that the situation would be so serious.
