behind her stood a dozen guards in armor, along with a dozen tall eunuchs.
as she walked, the intense pressure caused imperial doctor hu to retreat step by step, his voice shrill as he exclaimed, "imperial noble consort jiang, what are you trying to do? this is the palace! don't you dare cause trouble here!"
jiang xinyue ignored him completely and shouted loudly, "yuan lei."
both imperial doctor hu and director lin were focused on the two dozen strong guards and eunuchs, who had positioned themselves in front of jiang xinyue as a precaution.
until...
"boom——"
"ah!"
a deafening explosion shook the ground beneath their feet, and the sound of something shattering echoed in their ears. the panicked screams of young eunuchs injured by flying debris filled the air.
imperial doctor hu turned in terror to see a "giant" weighing over two hundred pounds, wielding dual hammers, smashing a stone monument until not a single character was legible. only then did the giant pause, breathing heavily, and ask, "your highness, is this enough?"
the giant had jumped down from above, and the two hammers, each weighing at least a hundred pounds, seemed as light as toys in his hands.
glancing at the "stone monument that could doom the jiang family," it was now reduced to dust.
yuan lei, the giant, continued to swing his arms, the massive iron hammers whirling menacingly. no one dared to approach, fearing they would be crushed like pancakes.
"you!"
"this!"
"this is outrageous! absolutely outrageous!"
listening in, he was furious. strangers who had never met his sister and knew nothing about her were painting her as a ruthless, villainous concubine, even blaming her for those dozen lives.
"these bastards!"
jiang junze charged out, ready to beat someone up. "you crazy dogs, my sister..."
"jiang erlang!"
his companions quickly restrained him. "don't be rash. this looks like a well-organized scheme to smear imperial noble consort jiang's reputation. the more critical the moment, the calmer you must remain. you should hurry home and inform your parents, then come up with a strategy."
those accompanying jiang junze were his trusted friends, and none wished to see him hurt by a momentary lapse in judgment.
perhaps those people knew jiang erlang would be out today and were deliberately trying to provoke him into a violent outburst.
the young men had underestimated the situation. among the gossipers arranged by duke of cheng, one was already terminally ill.
if jiang junze laid a hand on him, the next day his family would carry his corpse to the jiang residence, demanding justice and forcing minister jiang to hand over the murderer.
they would report the incident to the authorities, leaving jiang junze with a criminal record, effectively ruining his chances of passing the imperial exams and his future prospects.
once the plan succeeded, duke of cheng would reward the dying man's family with a substantial sum, their payment for his life.
seeing jiang junze restrained by his friends, the sickly man with dark circles under his eyes grew even more brazen, stroking his chin with a smirk. "you know, they say imperial noble consort jiang is a stunning beauty, a voluptuous enchantress. if i were the emperor, i'd stay in bed for half a year... who cares about any so-called beauty? once they're beneath me, they're all crying and begging..."
"let me go! i'm going to beat that scumbag to death."
"erlang! such a person isn't worth it, but throwing away your future over him isn't either."
jiang junze no longer cared about the consequences. hearing such vile slander about his sister was beyond what anyone could bear.
