In Fengyi Palace, Jiang Yunxu was still immersed in the joy of becoming a mother for the first time. Zhao Guogong's mansion sent someone to invite her over. Jiang Yunxu didn't think much, quickly put on a cloak and rushed off with Hongqiao.
When they entered Mrs. Zhao Guogong's yard, they saw debris all over the ground, the door was closed, and the maids who were serving her were all standing outside with their heads lowered.
Jiang Yunxu frowned and quickened his pace, but Hong Qiao reminded worriedly: "Master, please slow down."
She almost took three steps and two steps and pushed open the door. The room was more messy than she imagined. The tables, chairs and benches were staggered here and there, as if they had experienced a robbery. She vaguely heard a sharp voice coming from: "Now it's a mess."
Are you satisfied with this? Your second brother was beaten half to death and now has a high fever. If something happens to him, I will definitely not spare you."
Jiang Yunxu hesitated slightly in his steps. He couldn't believe his ears. He even suspected that he heard wrongly. Is this the voice of Duke Zhao?
Then came another whimpering cry. Jiang Yunxu turned her head and looked at the source of the cry. It was Mrs. Zhao Guogong who was wearing underwear and had been beaten to a bruised nose and face. Her hair was disheveled and her red and swollen eyes were full of fear.
Just seeing this scene made Jiang Yunxu's blood soar.
Zhao Guogong didn't notice anyone coming behind him. He sat on the couch with a gloomy expression, still holding a whip in his hand, breathing heavily, but he looked at Mrs. Zhao Guogong as if she was looking at an enemy, wishing she could
Choke it to death.
"From today on, you must be filial to your mother and don't make her angry again." Zhao Guogong warned. As he was speaking, he might have noticed something was wrong. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Yunxu in surprise not far away, holding his hand.
The whip inside also fell to the ground, and he looked a little guilty and embarrassed.
Jiang Yunxu gradually approached with a cold face.
"Wei Chen pays homage to the Queen." Zhao Guogong saluted first, and then stood in front of Jiang Yunxu: "Queen, this is Wei Chen's housework..."
Jiang Yunxu raised his head and stared at Zhao Guogong intently, with a sneer on his lips: "I don't know when Zhao Guogong will come back. I don't even have a message?"
As she spoke, she picked up the whip on the ground and raised it high: "Did Duke Zhao use this whip to beat him?"
When someone pointed at the tip of his nose and asked, a look of ugliness flashed in Zhao Guogong's eyes. He took a few steps back and gave a faint hum as an answer.
This attitude obviously meant that Jiang Yunxu didn't take Jiang Yunxu seriously, just like Zhao Guogong's attitude towards her when they first met.
Jiang Yunxu took a deep breath, took off her cloak, and put it on Mrs. Zhao Guogong's shoulders. She took her into her arms and gently comforted her: "Auntie, don't be afraid, I will make the decision for you."
When referring to Zhao Guogong and aunt, it is clear at a glance who is close to whom.
Duke Zhao wanted to step forward but was stopped by Hongqiao.
Mrs. Zhao Guogong was trembling, her whole body was so scarred that her original appearance was no longer visible, and the whip marks on her body were crisscrossed and stained with blood.
Seeing Mrs. Zhao Guogong like this, Jiang Yunxu's heart was bleeding, and she thought of the helpless Feng family. Anger welled up in her heart. She took out a tranquilizer and stuffed it into Mrs. Zhao Guogong's mouth, coaxing her.
When he fell asleep, he carefully laid him down.
"Master Guo, please take a step to speak." Jiang Yunxu left a palace maid to look at Mrs. Zhao Guoguo, then turned around and went out.
Zhao Guogong glanced at the people on the couch, hesitated again and followed out.
Jiang Yunxu did not ask Duke Zhao to question him, but gave a signal with his eyes. Soon someone brought a chair for her to sit on, and a moment later Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Ji were also carried up.
"What is the queen doing?" Zhao Guogong was quite dissatisfied.
She still ignored Zhao Guogong and turned to give some instructions to the guards on the side. The guards immediately arrested a maid and a person dressed as a housekeeper. They gagged their mouths and were pushed to the corridor. They didn't even have time to beg for mercy.
Jiang Yunxu ordered in a cold voice: "Kill with a stick!"
"Jiang..." Mrs. Zhao's face suddenly turned pale, and she pointed angrily at Jiang Yunxu, but was slapped hard by Hong Qiao: "Who are you? You don't even address yourself as Queen, and you dare to point fingers."
.”
When Zhao Guogong saw Mrs. Zhao being beaten, he drew out the guard's knife and was about to slash at Hongqiao, but Hongqiao dodged very quickly.
"Kill her, and I will send your mother to be buried with her immediately!" Jiang Yunxu said in a cold tone.
When Zhao Guogong heard this, he stopped, turned his head and said angrily: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Jiang Yunxu's face was tense. Not only did he kill the maid serving Mrs. Zhao with a cane in public, but he also immediately ordered the guards brought in by Duke Zhao to be shot. No one was spared. Anyone who resisted would be punished as a crime of plagiarizing the nine tribes.
"Queen, no!" Zhao Guogong panicked, lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground: "Queen, I really have some difficulties today, I can explain this later."
Jiang Yunxu threw the whip in his hand to the ground: "Ignore the explanation first, not even one of the two hundred whips can be returned less."
Duke Zhao frowned. He had never even thought that Jiang Yunxu would defend Mrs. Zhao Guogong in this way.
"Where is Zhao Huaiyu?" Jiang Yunxu was shocked to realize that he was missing and quickly sent someone to look for him.
After a while, Zhao Huaiyu, who was beaten until he was almost breathless, was dragged up and lay on the ground. Jiang Yunxu got up with uncontrollable anger.
"Queen, I don't blame Duke Zhao for my injury, it was my wish." Zhao Huaiyu opened his eyelids and said weakly.
The sentence "Zhao Guogong" made Jiang Yunxu think about many things in an instant.
