He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

As Jiang Huan thought, the method Jiang Lingyi mentioned was to let Duke Jiang personally force Aunt Su to tell the truth of that day.

Because Jiang Lingyi felt that compared to letting them find out everything and make Aunt Su unable to turn over, it was obviously more interesting to let Aunt Su tell the story when she was abandoned by Duke Jiang and was disheartened.

How could Jiang Lingyi let Aunt Su die so easily after killing her most caring sister?

Looking at the undisguised cruelty and playfulness in Jiang Lingyi's eyes, Jiang Huan was glad that he woke up quickly enough. He had a premonition that it would not take long before the entire Duke Jiang's mansion would be completely overturned by Jiang Lingyi's means.

Those who had owed Jiang Lingyi would pay a painful price.

Jiang Lingyi did not let Jiang Huan take Chuntao away, but kept her by her side as a personal maid.

She was weak now, and what she lacked most was confidants, and Chuntao was once a maid by Jiang Lingyue's side, so Jiang Lingyi believed her.

Moreover, Jiang Lingyi also wanted Chuntao to see with her own eyes the day when Aunt Su's retribution came.

After this day, Jiang Lingyi stopped investigating Jiang Lingyue's affairs, and began to stay in the yard to get married. Her only interest was to go to the warehouse from time to time to see how Duke Jiang prepared her dowry.

However, Jiang Lingyi settled down, but Duke Jiang was not happy at all, because Aunt Su's affairs had always been a headache for him.

After being forced to choose by Jiang Lingyi, Duke Jiang asked Aunt Su, but Aunt Su insisted that she was wronged, and everything was imagined by Jiang Lingyi out of thin air, in order to avenge Aunt Su's harm to her in Ningcheng. At the same time, she added fuel to the fire, saying that Jiang Lingyi was so vindictive, and then maybe even Duke Jiang would become the target of her revenge.

After all, Aunt Su was operating in secret, and Duke Jiang was the one who actually decided whether Jiang Lingyi would stay or go.

It must be said that Aunt Su is very good at controlling Duke Jiang's emotions. With just one sentence, Duke Jiang instantly became suspicious. But now the honor and disgrace of the Jiang family all depend on Jiang Lingyi, so even if Duke Jiang suspects that Jiang Lingyi has bad intentions, he can only endure it for the time being.

However, he was not comfortable in his heart, so Duke Jiang went to Aunt Jing, another of his think tanks, for help.

Under Aunt Jing's persuasion, Duke Jiang finally decided to go to Jiang Lingyi to make peace.

While he was still determined, Duke Jiang did not delay and went directly to Jiang Lingyi's yard.

However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a slightly familiar face, it was Chuntao.

Duke Jiang subconsciously frowned, "Why are you here?"

Before Chuntao could speak, Jiang Lingyi's voice came from behind Duke Jiang, "I brought her to the mansion. What, does father have any objection?"

Duke Jiang turned his head, and a deliberate warmth appeared on his face, "I don't have any objection, but I'm afraid she can't take good care of you."

"Don't worry about this, father."

Duke Jiang choked immediately, but still suppressed the idea of ​​turning around and leaving, "Yier, your father came here today because he has something to say to you."

Jiang Lingyi responded lightly, "Then come in."

After speaking, Jiang Lingyi turned around and left, and Duke Jiang followed her to the main hall. As he walked, Duke Jiang suddenly found something wrong. He was obviously the elder, so how could he follow Jiang Lingyi?

Does this girl have any sense of superiority or inferiority?

But he had already reached the door and was at a disadvantage, so Duke Jiang could only endure it for the time being.

Fortunately, after entering the house, Jiang Lingyi did not take the seat at the head, but left the seat to Duke Jiang.

Duke Jiang felt relieved and dismissed the maids in the house. He went straight to the point, "Yier, what you said that day, I have carefully considered after returning home."

Jiang Lingyi raised her head and looked at him with interest, as if looking forward to his next words.

Duke Jiang paused and asked, "Yier, you are targeting Aunt Su, but what evidence have you found to prove that Yue'er's death is related to her?"

Jiang Lingyi could hear that Duke Jiang wanted to find a way out for himself. After all, he executed his concubine for no reason, which was unjustified and would inevitably be criticized.

However, Jiang Lingyi didn't care about the reputation of Duke Jiang, and shook her head happily, "No."

Duke Jiang paused, "Then you want to avenge the day she framed you and sent you to Ningcheng?"

Jiang Lingyi still had that indifferent look, "Maybe."

Unable to see what Jiang Lingyi was thinking, Duke Jiang could only ask directly, "Do you hate your father for sending you away from Shengjing without finding out the truth?"

Looking at the nervousness that Duke Jiang couldn't hide in his eyes, Jiang Lingyi smiled suddenly. As expected, this sentence was what Duke Jiang really wanted to ask, right?

Jiang Lingyi raised her eyes and looked at Duke Jiang, and snorted softly, and the latter's heart sank immediately.

As expected, the next moment, Jiang Lingyi's cold voice sounded: "Why not hate? As a father, you sent your own daughter to another city to suffer just because of a cat and a few words from your concubine, and you chose Jiang Hang without hesitation between me and him, so father, tell me, shouldn't I hate him?"

Duke Jiang pursed his lips subconsciously, but still did not forget the purpose of today's visit, "Yier, Dad knows that Dad is sorry for you, but after all, we have the same blood, and now you are back safely, so let the past be the past, okay?"

Jiang Lingyi smiled directly, "Father, you haven't experienced my situation, so you can say these words lightly. To be fair, if you were me, would you choose to forgive at this moment?"

Jiang Guogong was silent for a moment, because he knew very well that he would not, so he was not qualified to let Jiang Lingyi choose to forget everything now.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Guogong stared at her: "Then what do you want?"

After the words fell, he added: "You said, as long as it is not too much, your father can agree to it."

Jiang Lingyi's lips curled slightly, "Does the excessiveness in my father's mouth include the life of Aunt Su?"

Jiang Guogong clenched his fists, and finally shook his head.

He compromised, using Aunt Su's life in exchange for the reconciliation of his father-daughter relationship with Jiang Lingyi.

So Jiang Lingyi asked again: "What about Jiang Hang?"

This time, Duke Jiang hesitated, but after thinking for a moment, he responded: "Hang'er is my son after all, and he is also your brother from the same mother. You can't hurt his life."

"What about your father?"

"Yier! I am your biological father. Apologizing to you is the biggest concession I can make!" Duke Jiang's words were obviously more angry. Obviously, Aunt Su and Jiang Hang were not as important as himself.

After clarifying Duke Jiang's bottom line, Jiang Lingyi no longer kept it a secret, "My request is still the same as before. Aunt Su must die in front of my sister's grave to repent and make amends. As for Jiang Hang... I haven't thought about it yet, but father must remember the promise today. As long as he doesn't die, I can do whatever I want."

Duke Jiang hesitated a little, "Can you not hurt him? He is still a child after all..."

Jiang Lingyi did not give in, "The son pays for the mother's debt, or does your father want to take some responsibility for Aunt Su?"

Duke Jiang stopped talking all of a sudden.

With the permission of Duke Jiang, Jiang Lingyi asked the guards to take Aunt Su to Jiang Lingyue's tomb that day, and asked all the Jiang family members to go out to pay tribute to Jiang Lingyue.

Duke Jiang didn't want to go, because he really didn't want to see Jiang Lingyue's shameless daughter, but after thinking for a moment, he finally chose to obey Jiang Lingyi's wishes.

Today is the first day of April, and there is still one month until Jiang Lingyi marries to the Prince's Mansion. He and Jiang Lingyi don't have much time to repair their father-daughter relationship.

Two hours later, Jiang Lingyi finally saw Jiang Lingyue's tomb.

A grave mound only half a person's height and covered with weeds, without even a tombstone, and even a piece of the back of the grave mound was dug up by some unknown beast. Jiang Lingyi's eyes instantly turned red with anger, and she questioned Jiang Guogong, "Father, my sister is your daughter after all, are you going to let her die in such a shabby way?"

Jiang Guogong's voice was not loud, but he was justified, "She did something that was a disgrace to the family, and allowing her to rest in peace is already a kindness of my father!"

Jiang Lingyi's face turned cold, and she wisely chose not to argue with him anymore.

Chun Tao knelt in front of Jiang Lingyue's grave, tears falling, "Miss, I'm here to see you."

Jiang Huan couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, and stepped forward to fill the small hole behind the grave mound with his bare hands.

Jiang Lingyi walked up to Aunt Su and looked down at her, "Aunt Su, I'll ask you again, is my sister's death caused by you?"

Just as Aunt Su was about to refuse, she saw Jiang Lingyi dragging the trembling Jiang Hang over, with a delicate dagger in her hand, "Aunt Su, I advise you to think it over before you speak. If you don't get the answer I want, your son will lose a finger."

The sharp dagger pierced Jiang Hang's delicate skin, and blood instantly came out. Jiang Hang cried in pain, and Aunt Su also panicked instantly.

"Duke, Hang'er is our son. Can you bear to watch him being persecuted by the second lady like this?"

Duke Jiang turned his head away with a guilty look on his face. Since he had chosen to retreat, he had no reason to stand up for Aunt Su.

Aunt Su felt cold in her heart, knowing that Duke Jiang had abandoned her, and she couldn't help but feel sad, but she still didn't forget her duties as a mother, "Whatever answer the second lady wants to hear, I will give it to you, as long as you don't hurt Hang'er."

No matter how vicious Aunt Su was, she was still a mother, and she couldn't bear to see her own son suffer.

When Luo saw Aunt Su and her son being forced by Jiang Lingyi, she immediately felt that Jiang Lingyi had gone too far. Just as she was about to step forward to persuade them, she was stopped by Jiang Huan, with an uncontrollable coldness in his eyes.

At this point, Luo was still thinking about stepping forward to speak for Aunt Su and her son, how ironic.

Seeing this, Luo frowned slightly, "Huan'er, what's the difference between Yi'er's confession and being tortured?"

Jiang Huan looked at her coldly, "Mother, in front of Yue'er, are you sure you want to help an outsider, or even a person who killed her?"

Luo's face turned even paler, but she still spoke with a trembling voice: "But Yue'er's death has nothing to do with Aunt Su."

Jiang Huan didn't want to listen anymore and turned his head away. He had long been disappointed with Luo.

On the other side, Jiang Lingyi had asked the question again, "Aunt Su, how did my sister die?"
