Senator Yang was in a bad mood. He felt that anyone who caused such a thing at this juncture was extremely evil. In particular, Mrs. Ji's behavior was incomprehensible.
If you want to scheme against someone, you have to consider the price, right
The price she paid was her son's marriage and reputation! She was willing to risk it. It was unbelievable. If she told anyone, no one would believe her.
Mrs. Ji's expression changed, she moved her lips, but finally she lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Young Master Ji outside frowned, his face looked a little unhappy, and he lowered his voice: "I really don't know why, Grandfather has gone mad, and Second Uncle is also sick. You know about this and have experienced it. Think about it, if it was His Highness who went up there, with that aphrodisiac incense, what would have happened? I don't know how Second Aunt could have made such a decision."
How can she be the daughter-in-law of the Ji family? She has a blood feud with the Ji family! Otherwise, how could she do such a thing
The fourth young master's eyes were red, and he looked at his eldest brother with hesitation. When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse: "Mother..."
He didn't know how to excuse Mrs. Ji Er and stood there dazed. He felt guilty towards his family and fiancée, but he didn't know what to do and his expression was painful.
Councillor Yang inside saw that Second Madam Ji hadn't made any movement for a while, and didn't want to wait any longer. He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Second Madam, you are just refusing to accept our toast, so don't blame us for not showing you any mercy!" He immediately turned around and raised his chin to the officers: "Use torture, but there's no need to be so harsh at first. Second Madam has been living a life of luxury, so I'm sure she can't stand any pain. Let's use the clamps first."
The clamps are used to pinch your fingers, and your fingers are connected to your heart. It may not be very severe, but it is actually extremely painful.
Mrs. Ji bit her lip, and it was obvious that she was extremely frightened, but she still didn't say a word, and looked resolute.
But for Senator Yang, this was not being tough, it was just going against him and the court, so Senator Yang waved his hand.
The officers and soldiers below were experienced and had already stepped forward to capture Madam Ji's fingers.
Young Master Ji was standing outside, glanced at the Fourth Young Master, and said nothing.
In his opinion, he had already done everything he should have done, but Second Aunt was so stubborn and unrepentant. Since she didn't consider them as family members and was deliberately trying to harm the Ji family, why was she still worried about Second Madam Ji being punished
He simply didn't care.
He didn't care, but the Fourth Young Master was his biological son after all. He was so scared that he even cried. He couldn't bear to see his mother suffer, so he rushed in regardless of the guards outside, looking at Madam Ji with tears in his eyes: "Mother! Why did you do this? Who instructed you to do this to frame His Highness? Tell me! At this time, are you still going to help others hide it? My brothers and sisters, aren't we your children? And father, don't you care about him?"
The guards had already followed in, but seeing that Councillor Yang's expression remained unchanged and he showed no sign of anger, they all stood aside tactfully and did not move.
Madam Ji Er finally responded. She looked up at the Fourth Young Master with complicated emotions in her eyes. After a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind. She pursed her lips and turned her head away: "I don't know what you are talking about. This matter has nothing to do with me. It was all decided by the Ji family. They wanted to send my daughter-in-law to perform on the high stage so that she could be given to the Crown Prince. What I said was true. I don't know why it didn't work out later."
Even at this point, Second Madam Ji still insisted that the Ji family had done this on purpose. Young Master Ji could no longer bear it, his hair and beard stood on end, and he shouted angrily: "Second Aunt, God knows, people should have a conscience, what are you talking about?! Grandfather and father never thought of sending a beauty from the beginning, they just wanted the Zhuo family to perform, and this is what you insisted on, Second Aunt. Now you actually turn around and throw dirty water on our family like this. You don't care about us, don't you care about Fourth Brother and the others?! When we came here just now, Madam Hong even spit at Fourth Brother. With a mother like you, how can Fourth Brother find a foothold in the future? How is Fourth Brother going to live in the future?!"
The fourth young master's eyes were red with grievance, and he looked at his mother in disbelief, as if he had never known her.
When Mrs. Ji heard these words, she did not react. Her tears rolled down and she was obviously sad. But no matter how sad she was, she turned her head away from her son and nephew. She just sneered and gritted her teeth, insisting that she knew nothing.
Councillor Yang clicked his tongue.
He had seen many loving mothers, but he had never heard of or seen such a cold and heartless mother.
I don’t know if she doesn’t want to have these children at all, otherwise, how could she say such words
He snorted, "Okay, stop saying these useless things. It's obvious that they are determined to do it. Just give up and get out."
Young Master Ji pulled Young Master Si to leave, and angrily said, "Fourth brother, what hope do you still have now? She has made it so clear. If she has any concerns about you, she will not be so ruthless. Let's go!"
The Fourth Young Master did not leave. He rushed to the Second Madam Ji and knelt down in front of her with a thud. There was a dull thud, and the sound of his knees hitting the ground could be heard clearly by everyone in the room, which showed how hard he was hitting the ground.
Mrs. Ji's eyelashes trembled and she couldn't help but clench her fists.
The fourth young master looked at her with bloodshot eyes: "What have I done wrong? What have my brothers and sisters done wrong? What has Rui'er done wrong? She treats you as her own mother. After the engagement, she has never lacked clothes, shoes and socks for all seasons, and various gifts, just to please you and marry me. We are already approaching the wedding date, and we were all going to get married. Mother, why do you hate me so much? Why do you have to ruin me and Rui'er like this? If I have offended you in any way and am not worthy of being your son, tell me, I will die now, I will die! You don't have to worry about it, you don't have to plan, I will die by myself! I will compensate you with this life, you tell me the truth, tell the adults the truth, let the adults let go of grandfather, let go of father, let go of brothers and sisters, what have they done wrong? If they are all implicated because of your affairs, and perhaps their family will be destroyed, I am the only one who deserves to die."
After the fourth young master finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and rushed to the beam next to him at lightning speed.
The action was so fast that Young Master Ji didn't have time to pull anyone away.
Mrs. Ji was also stunned and she screamed.
