Chapter 137 Sister, I was wrong
The debts Qi Xiuchen owed from gambling were not easily repaid. Once Qi Xiuchen was kidnapped by the debt collectors, they would know that one hundred thousand taels could save their lives.
Qi Xiuchen is the only child of the Qi family, and it is impossible for the Qi family to give him up for Jiang Xiru.
They are doomed to fail in this lawsuit.
……
Yongbohou Mansion.
When Qi Wanxi saw the wounds on her brother's face, she was horrified and furious. "What did you say? Jiang Ningwan locked you up and beat you?"
"That's too much! She doesn't even take our family seriously."
"Poor Xiru! A young girl had her leg broken in the street... If she develops any underlying health problems, how will she get married?"
Qi Wanxi wiped away her tears heartbrokenly.
The Marquis of Qi slammed the table angrily, "You rely on your official position to act lawless!"
"I'm going to the palace right now to seek justice!"
Qi Suizhou was asking his wife Liu to apply medicine when he was suddenly pushed secretly. He turned around to meet his wife's gaze and immediately understood something.
"Dad, do you want to take a long-term view on this matter?"
"After all, Jiang Ningwan has the Chu Palace behind her..."
Listening to Qi Wanxi's crying, Lord Qi was furious. He stood with his hands behind his back and said angrily, "What's wrong with the King of Chu? Why would I be afraid of him?"
Having said that, Lord Qi went out angrily.
Liu quickly pinched Qi Suizhou. Jiang Ningwan was willing to give 100,000 taels, which was not a small amount. Qi Wanxi could not afford to give them so much money.
If I really offend Jiang Ningwan, how will I repay the debt my son owes!
Qi Suizhou immediately chased after him, "Dad, let's discuss this further!"
However, just as he reached the front yard, a servant came to announce: "My Lord, the King of Chu is here."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked a little nervous.
The next moment, the King of Chu was seen being slowly pushed over in a wheelchair. The imposing aura immediately suppressed the anger of the Marquis of Qi.
He saluted politely: "Your Highness the King of Chu."
Qin Shuangchi's expression was calm. "Is the Marquis going to the palace?"
Lord Qi felt a tightness in his heart and his face turned grim.
Everyone is a smart person. Since the King of Chu has come, he must be here to apologize.
He had no reason to be humble, so he straightened his spine and spoke in a sharp tone:
"My granddaughter's leg was broken by Jiang Ningwan in the street, and she's covered in wounds!"
"My son went to the Jiang residence to ask for an explanation, but was beaten and bleeding! I can't swallow this anger, I must go and seek justice!"
After hearing this, Qin Shuangchi's face remained calm, and he said calmly: "As it happens, I am also going to the palace, so please come with me, my Lord."
Lord Qi was startled, "Enter the palace?"
Isn't he here to make amends?
Qin Shuangchi slowly pulled out a stack of IOUs from his sleeve. "I've been investigating underground banks lately and discovered that Young Master Qi is deeply involved with them. Not only does he owe a huge amount of money to them, he's also involved in loan sharking."
"I am about to present these to the Emperor."
That calm and peaceful tone made the hearts of several people in the yard tremble and their legs weaken.
Lord Qi's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
This evil beast!
Such a big handle is in the hands of others!
"My Lord? What are you standing there for? Let's go." Qin Shuangchi urged and prepared to set off.
Lord Qi gritted his teeth and chased after him.
"Your Highness, this matter is not urgent."
"I won't go into the palace for now."
Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi revealed a satisfied smile, "The Marquis is a smart man."
"Although my princess is skilled in martial arts, she is not unreasonable. To be so angry that she broke a leg in the street, it must be a fatal offense."
"Your Majesty, please think about it calmly before deciding whether to step forward."
After saying that, Qin Shuangchi left in a wheelchair.
The Marquis of Qi was left in deep thought, but gradually calmed down and weighed the pros and cons.
Xiru is, after all, someone else's daughter.
He walked back in deep thought, and Qi Wanxi came towards him, "Dad, aren't you going to the palace?"
She saw the King of Chu coming, but did not hear clearly what they said.
Lord Qi's face was solemn, "This matter needs to be considered carefully!"
Qi Wanxi was extremely shocked and said unwillingly, "Dad! Xiru has suffered so much, and you don't care!"
Lord Qi remained silent. At this time, Liu hurried forward and grabbed Qi Wanxi's arm.
"We, as elders, are certainly heartbroken that Xiru has suffered such a great crime, but the man on the other side is the King of Chu, and we can't let our family get involved."
"Besides, Duke Jiang is the biological father of Jiang Ningwan and Xiru. With his two daughters fighting like this, he, as a father, should make the decision for Xiru."
"It would be more appropriate for him to discipline Jiang Ningwan and stand up for Xiru."
Liu's excuse to refuse shocked and chilled Qi Wanxi.
"Sister-in-law, I paid for a lot of Xiuchen's debts, didn't I? I treat Xiuchen like my own son, and you are so indifferent to Xiru?"
Liu's eyes flashed with impatience, "Sister, you can't say that. We are a family, and we should help each other, but we should also do it within our ability, right?"
"Why don't you ask Duke Jiang why he doesn't dare to settle accounts with Jiang Ningwan?"
"He, as the father, doesn't care. If we step forward, won't we be gossiped about and become a nobody?"
Qi Wanxi's eyes turned red with anger.
She had often asked the Ling family for money in the past to fill the hole of Xiuchen's debt, but now when she asked them for help, she had such an expression on her face!
He left Yongbohou's mansion in anger, and the Duke's mansion was in an uproar.
Qi Wanxi cried all day long, trying to commit suicide.
……
Outside the gate of Jiang's house.
The carriage from the Duke's Mansion slowly drove over. Jiang Bingde got off the carriage angrily and went to the Jiang residence.
"Where's Jiang Ningwan? Tell her to come out and see me!"
The guard replied, "The young lady is unwell and is still recovering."
Jiang Bingde snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked towards the door.
"She has the nerve to pretend to be sick!"
The guards didn't stop him, and Jiang Bingde went straight to the main hall and sat down, his anger still raging inside him. "Call Jiang Ningwan over!"
"If she doesn't come, I won't leave."
Today he must ask Jiang Ningwan whether she wants to break up this family!
Xiru was seriously injured. Her mother cried every day and threatened to die. She had been on a hunger strike for two days.
The Qi family came to her house to ask for an explanation, but she locked the door and beat them up. It's simply lawless!
The guard just nodded and said nothing.
Just let Duke Jiang wait.
In fact, at this moment, Jiang Ningwan was already on her way to the Duke's Mansion.
Before the Duke's Mansion's carriage arrived at this street, Jiang Ningwan had already heard the news and rode her horse directly to the Duke's Mansion through the back door.
After entering the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Ningwan went straight to Qinghui Garden.
"Miss." Ling'er was startled when she ran into her in the yard.
Jiang Ningwan directly locked several maids including Ling'er out of the yard.
"Miss! What are you doing, Miss!" Ling'er knocked on the door anxiously.
Pushing open the door, Jiang Ningwan walked into the room with murderous intent.
Jiang Xiru, who had heard the noise, woke up. When she saw Jiang Ningwan breaking in, her face turned pale and she nervously propped herself up.
"Sister, why are you here..." Jiang Xiru's eyes were full of fear.
Jiang Ningwan slowly sat down beside the bed and looked her over. "I heard your leg was broken. I came to see... whether it was completely broken."
As her cold voice fell, her gaze fell on Jiang Ningwan's injured leg.
"Sister, I really didn't mean it." Jiang Xiru was so nervous that tears were streaming down her face, and there was a hint of fear in her voice.
Jiang Ningwan raised his hand and slowly placed it on her leg, applying a little force, causing Jiang Xiru to cry out in pain.
But she was weak and had nowhere to hide.
Jiang Ningwan's eyes were filled with coldness as she spoke softly:
"Whether it was intentional or not is no longer important."
"Today, let's settle old and new scores together!"
"I won't fight with you for the Duke's Mansion's property. It's all yours. Just lie in bed and enjoy the rest of your life."
As he spoke, Jiang Ningwan's fingers fell on the place where her leg was broken, and he slowly took out a hammer from behind his waist.
"No! Sister! I was wrong! I was wrong!" Jiang Xiru's eyes were filled with tears and she was shaking with fear.
Listening to her cries for mercy, Jiang Ningwan's hatred remained unabated.
He raised the hammer and smashed it down hard.
"No! Don't!" Jiang Xiru cried heartbreakingly.
