FVN Chapter 306
Chapter 306
now that third miss jiang has returned unscathed, her son has run into trouble.
of course, she could understand the hint from the imperial noble consort not only because she is smart but also because she knows what kind of person her son is.
yihong tower is an asset of the mansion of the duke of cheng, which is also a relative through marriage. the third young master has a penchant for beauty, and whenever there is a new beauty, he is always the first to sample her.
the imperial noble consort just mentioned that the emperor also went there, and the newly purchased girl in the tower was the concubine of a corrupt official, who also hid the list and accounts of the corrupt officials.
what kind of trouble could he get into?
before the girls from the pei family could react, madam zhen had already glared viciously at them and left in a hurry.
she needed to find her in-laws to discuss how to get the third young master out as soon as possible.
damn minister pei of the privy council, trying to scheme against the jiang family without aiming properly. so easily foiled by the imperial noble consort, and now his son is in trouble.
if anything happens to the third young master, she would risk her life to make sure the pei family pays.
jiang xinyue subtly stirred the pot, watching the dumbfounded pei family members standing in place, and turned to leave with a fake smile.
as the crowd dispersed, su ruyue gently tugged at her mother's sleeve and whispered softly, "mother, i saw..."
"shh!"
lady su pressed her hand down: "let's talk about it at home."
their su family has a special relationship with the jiang family. if someone hears her daughter talking about the jiang family, it would harm their own reputation.
a well-bred girl does not gossip behind people's backs.
as soon as lady su and su ruyue returned to their residence, they saw a young man, as graceful as a jade tree, rushing out in a hurry.
"second young master, stop!"
when the tall figure of the young man reached them, lady su's brow furrowed even tighter: "what's with this rash behavior? i sent you to the imperial academy to study, have you forgotten the basic etiquette?"
pei sinian covered his face: "i only wanted to give jiang xinyue that bitch a lesson. originally, i planned to abduct her promiscuous dancer mother, but that woman never leaves the palace. i had no choice but to target her uncle's family."
sending an unmarried official's daughter to such a place, and claiming it was just to give jiang xinyue a lesson.
clearly, it was meant to take her life and ruin the prospects of all the jiang girls, which is extremely malicious.
but this is his son, and he was outsmarted. minister pei of the privy council gritted his teeth in hatred for jiang xinyue.
"father, what should we do now?"
not to mention how difficult it is to deal with the old master of the qu family, the duke of cheng is known as the cold-faced viper in the capital. many who have offended the duke have ended up dead. he is afraid.
minister pei of the privy council glared at him: "just wait quietly. learn from that dancer and don't go out these days, or you might not know how you die."
with that, he put on his official robe and left the garden with a few people. in any case, today's feud with the qu family must not be allowed to fester.
it would be best to join forces against the jiang family. otherwise, if the imperial noble consort ever ascends to the throne, neither of their families will have a good outcome.

"smack!"
the sound of a whip echoed in the secret prison, and qu tianzhong was beaten until he was covered in wounds.
officials from the ministry of justice and the ministry of punishment jointly tried the case: "qu tianzhong, where did you hide the account book? confess quickly!"
qu tianzhong, a gluttonous fool, didn't even know what his family was up to, let alone where the account book was.
he lifted his head, gasping for breath, and in a daze, he seemed to see his grandfather and father. he cried out: "i don't know, i know nothing. when i got there, the woman was already dead. what account book, i don't know what you're talking about!"
"still dare to lie?"
"we followed you in, and the woman was perfectly fine in the iron cage. later, she was taken to the back courtyard by the brothel people. it was you who went in for a while and then screamed, running out saying someone was dead. since you were the only one in the room, who else could have killed her?"
qu tianzhong spat out a mouthful of blood; he didn't know how to explain himself.
he had the habit of bathing before sleeping with women, which the madam of yihong tower knew. so when he entered the room, he didn't pay attention to the woman on the bed but went behind the screen to bathe. the bathing water had already been prepared by the madam.
when he finished bathing and looked at the beauty on the bed, he only saw a corpse with her eyes wide open, which scared him so much that he lost his erection.
