After rebirth, the regent princess wanted to rebel every day

Xie Jingce said coldly: "I will give you one chance. Tell me the truth about what you saw and heard. Maybe if I am happy, I will spare your life."

These words were obviously spoken to the young monk.

The young monk was also unambiguous. He hurriedly adjusted his kneeling position and said in a trembling voice, "It was not my turn to be on duty today. It was Madam Wang and her maid who came to Shaoguang Temple yesterday and gave me some silver. They asked me to receive Chen Luo in the temple today. They said they wanted to avoid the limelight. I vaguely heard that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was disgraced or something, but I don't know what it was exactly!"

At this moment, his face showed despair. If he had known his life was at stake, he would not have been greedy for that little bit of money. Woo woo woo.

As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot from his chest and handed it to the palace eunuch.

The gold ingot was then handed over to Xie Jinghong. He stroked the gold ingot and found the unique "Hengli" mark of Wang's Money House underneath it.

Xie Jinghong glanced at Madam Wang coldly, threw the gold ingot in front of her, and said angrily: "Yu Yinqiu, what else do you have to say!"

Yu Yinqiu is Madam Wang's maiden name.

Madam Wang saw that the truth had been revealed and there was no room for maneuver, so she could only defend herself: "Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment. I heard my son say that he liked the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, but she didn't want to. I had no choice but to do this! Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I won't dare to do it again next time!"

"From what Madam Wang said, she doesn't want to marry you, but you still plan to force her to marry you? Who gave you the courage to murder the daughter of the Earl's Mansion? I see that your Wang family is rich enough to rival a country, you can't be unable to afford even a little betrothal gift, right?"

Xie Jingce spoke indifferently. It was clearly just a normal tone, but it made people feel creepy. Madam Wang was completely frozen.

Jiang Cheng's face changed drastically when he heard this. Even Jiang Wei had never thought that someone as high and mighty as Xie Jingce would protect Jiang Wanyue. Could it really be because Jiang Wanyue and Ye Qingwu had a close relationship in the past? At this moment, in addition to envy, she was more jealous.

The Wang family has no rank or status, but they want to use such despicable means to get close to the Jiang family, their in-laws. Everyone was immediately very angry, and their impression of the Wang family was greatly reduced.

"No, it's not." Madam Wang looked flustered and retorted subconsciously.

Jiang Wanyue cast an inquiring look at Xie Jingce, but the latter looked away. Was he helping her because he felt guilty towards the Ye family?

But the matter has been settled, and no matter what Madam Wang says, it will only make the truth more obvious.

However, Xie Jinghong was in a dilemma about the punishment. He had finally summoned the Wang family to the capital. If he disappointed the Wang family, then all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Madam Wang also had a look of despair on her face. She had finally arrived in the capital, but before she could gain a foothold, she had already gotten into trouble. She cursed Jiang Wanyue a thousand times in her heart.

Xie Jinghong looked embarrassed, but quickly said: "Yu Yinqiu has committed a crime, but considering that it is a first offense and my son is engaged to Miss Jiang Er, I will punish you by confining you to your house for six months and repenting in the mansion!"

Fortunately, it was just house arrest, which was a very light punishment. On second thought, Xie Jinghong must be of use to the Wang family, so she was given a light punishment. Mrs. Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Jingce frowned, obviously not satisfied with the punishment. Jiang Cheng's expression eased a lot, but he still frowned when he heard this not-so-light punishment.

Jiang Wanyue sneered. Xie Jinghong really put interests first and was not afraid of disappointing his old ministers. But it made sense. The Jiang family only escaped the disaster because they took a different path from the Ye family. Otherwise, with Xie Jinghong's temperament, the Jiang family would have ceased to exist when the Ye family was destroyed.

After this incident, the banquet was no longer lively. Xie Jinghong's original plan to choose a princess for Xie Jingce at the banquet had to be put on hold for the time being.

It was already completely dark when they left the palace. Jiang Wei didn't dare to say anything when she saw Jiang Cheng's expression. Jiang Wanyue would not bring bad luck to herself at this time. The three of them stayed silent along the way.

The carriage went all the way to Jiang's house. After getting off the carriage, Jiang Cheng turned his back to the two of them and said, "You two come to my study."

Jiang Wanyue couldn't see Jiang Cheng's expression clearly, but she knew that she would be scolded for this incident tonight. However, since it was not her fault, she had nothing to be afraid of.

On the other hand, Jiang Wei had the handkerchief in her hand squeezed out of shape, and her palms were sweating profusely, and she was obviously in a panic.

The two of them raised their feet and followed Jiang Cheng's pace.

In the study, Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Wei solemnly and said, "You repeatedly put my elder sister in danger. I don't believe that what happened today was not caused by you. In the end, you reaped the fruits of your own labor. This is also retribution!"

Jiang Wei panicked, her knees softened, and she knelt down, crying, "Father, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time, father!"

Obviously, Madam Wang did not reveal any information about her and Jiang Wei, but Jiang Cheng guessed that there was someone betraying her in the family. But when will the jealousy between sisters end?

"Although Wei'er is your half-sister, she is still a daughter of the Jiang family. You knew that she had the intention to harm others, so you should have guided her to the right path with kindness. But you chose to treat her in her own way and ruin her life!"

This sentence was said to Jiang Wanyue, and it was obvious that Jiang Cheng also knew what kind of person Wang Hongyi was.

Tonight's talk was not biased towards anyone, but Jiang Wanyue still disagreed.

She said, "If persuasion is effective, my third sister and aunt should learn from the lessons of the past few days and stop harming me. But it is obvious that they have no intention of repenting. If I hadn't discovered it in time, I would have been the one who ruined my innocence tonight."

Jiang Cheng was stunned, but then he thought that what Jiang Wanyue said made sense. If Chen's mother and daughter hadn't committed suicide, this would not have been the result.

"In that case, Jiang Wei will be confined to her home from now on until she gets married. Your father will prepare a dowry for you and will not let you lose face." Jiang Cheng sighed.

Jiang Wei is fourteen years old this year, and she still has one year to go before she reaches marriageable age. When she heard that she would have to stay in that small courtyard for a whole year, she was absolutely willing to do so.

"My eldest brother is still unmarried, and my eldest sister is still unmarried. When will it be my turn to get married so soon? Father, you are so partial!" Jiang Wei laughed at herself, her eyes full of disappointment towards Jiang Cheng, her eyes slightly red.

"It's already this time, and you still care about these empty formalities! If you had followed me to the palace banquet and not caused these troubles, how could my Jiang family's daughter marry a dandy boy?" Jiang Cheng roared.

He originally thought that if Jiang Wanyue didn't want to get married, then she didn't have to marry, and he would find a good marriage for Jiang Wei. The family didn't have to be wealthy, but the person had to be decent.

As a result, Jiang Wei herself did something that was detrimental to the family's reputation, and it was seen by so many people that she could not hide it even if she wanted to.

Jiang Wei was completely desperate and collapsed to the ground. Jiang Wanyue just watched coldly. After all, all this was Jiang Wei's own fault.

Seeing that there was nothing else for Jiang Wanyue to do, she bowed to Jiang Cheng, left the study, and returned to her own yard.

Jiang Wanyue soaked in the bathtub, letting the heat fill every pore. After her whole body relaxed, she thought about what had happened in the past few days.
