The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

The innocent and lovely smile made the Duke of England hesitate for a moment, but when he thought of the bloody wounds on Lin's body, he also felt that Achan had done something wrong.

"Do you know you are wrong?" The Duke of England hardened his heart and looked at Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Zhiyue was stunned, with a bewildered look on his face: "What's wrong? Me? Is Dad blaming me?"

Jiang Zhiyue's bewilderment was so real that the Duke of England didn't know what to do.

Old Madam Yan looked calm and composed, just watching from the top.

Seeing this, Lin Jingqiu felt even more uneasy. She hardened her heart and knelt on the ground, "Please ask the Duke and the old lady to help me. Miss Six wants to beat me to death!"

Lin Jingqiu suddenly attacked, and Jiang Zhiyue was startled instead, as if he had not expected Lin Jingqiu's action, and he shrank back in fear.

The Duke of England saw this but remained silent.

Chang Ying was the first to speak out: "Why did Aunt Lin slander my young lady?"

Lin Jingqiu has a gentle face. Even with tears all over her face, she still looks charming and even more fragile.

Lin Jingqiu cried softly, "Sixth Miss allowed me to live in Xuan Hall, and the Duke knew it. The day before yesterday, Sixth Miss suddenly said that I had overstepped the boundaries and whipped me in public. Yesterday, she whipped me again when she went to Qiushuiju. If Changying hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see the Duke alive today..."

As Lin Jingqiu spoke, he lifted up his sleeves on both sides, and sure enough, both his arms were covered in blood!

Chang Ying was so angry that he retorted, "You are talking nonsense!"

"My Lord, I didn't... Many people saw what happened the day before yesterday. Yesterday, Miss Six went to Qiushuiju, and everyone saw it. My Lord, please save me. I want to live... I still have someone to take care of, my Lord..."

Lin Jingqiu endured the pain and moved closer to Duke Yingguo. The wound on his knee burst open and the blood soaked his trouser leg red.

In addition, Lin Jingqiu was still moving, and blood was smeared on the ground, which was very shocking!

Seeing this, Old Lady Yan also frowned and looked at Jiang Zhiyue.

What Lin Jingqiu said was all true, but the old lady didn't believe that her granddaughter would be so cruel.

Seeing Lin Jingqiu in such a tragic state, and hearing her mention her young son, the Duke of England's gentle face was now tense: "Achan, you're going too far."

These six short words pierced Jiang Zhiyue's heart like steel needles.

She stared at the Duke of England in amazement, tears suddenly rolling down her cheeks, her eyes filled with disbelief and disappointment.

"Dad, do you think it was A-Chan who beat Auntie like this?"

The girl's voice trembled, as if it would break in the next moment.

The Duke of England had asked about it before, and it was true that it happened the day before yesterday. Ah Chan did go to Qiu Shui Ju yesterday, and the servants who were cleaning the house saw that not long after Ah Chan came out of Qiu Shui Ju, she saw Lin Yu Zhong running out crying.

"Who else could it be but you! Since you are at fault, you should honestly apologize to your aunt. Otherwise, father will not allow you to act so willfully!"

The Duke of England deliberately favors Achan. After all, she is still an unmarried girl. If her reputation is ruined, what will happen if no one is willing to marry her in the future?

Jiang Zhiyue stood up suddenly and looked at the Duke of Ying with disappointment: "I am not wrong!"

The Duke of England was a soft-hearted person. Seeing that his little daughter was still as unreasonable as before, he became furious: "How dare you deny such a big mistake? I never taught you this before!"

"Father never taught me!" Jiang Zhiyue cried, turned his head and threw himself into the arms of Old Lady Yan, sobbing.

The Duke of England was furious. He had hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the camp, all of whom were obedient, but he couldn't do anything to such a little girl!

"Get up! I must cure your temper today!" The Duke of England was also angry. He stood up and was about to pull Jiang Zhiyue.

Old Lady Yan noticed her granddaughter's sadness, and reached out to stop Duke Yingguo's movements, saying sternly, "How dare you touch my Ah Chan while I'm here!"

"Mother!" Duke Yingguo was furious, but he couldn't bring himself to attack his mother: "It's because you and Yun'er protected her so much that she developed such a personality!"

Old Lady Yan looked at her eldest son, who was already over 40, with a stern face and said coldly, "What Ah Chan said is wrong. You never taught her in the first place!"

If Duke Yingguo felt angry because of what Jiang Zhiyue said just now, then it would be difficult for Duke Yingguo to retort to his mother, Old Lady Yan.

He stayed in the camp all year round, and all household affairs were left to his mother and wife to handle, and his wife was also responsible for the children's upbringing.

Later, his wife died of illness, and the responsibility of educating the youngest daughter naturally fell on the mother.

Therefore, the Duke of England had no way to refute what Lady Yan said.

"Even so, her violent and hurtful behavior must not be tolerated. She must be taught a lesson!"

The Duke of England thought very straightforwardly. The eldest daughter was dignified, but the younger daughter was very worrying. He had to make some plans for the younger daughter. He didn't want them to become enemies in the future.

Jiang Zhiyue turned her head and looked at the Duke of Yingguo with tears on her face. She said in a hateful voice, "Dad is so unfair! I didn't touch Lin Jingqiu at all yesterday. Who knows how she got this new injury?"

Seeing this, Lin Jingqiu added fuel to the fire, "Sixth Miss, please spare my life. I will treat you with respect in the future. For Nianshi's sake, I beg you to spare my life..."

Lin Jingqiu kowtowed as she spoke, and her kowtow was so loud that everyone who was watching felt pain for her.

When Jiang Zhiyue heard Lin Jingqiu slandering her, she immediately stood up and rushed over. The old lady tried to stop her but failed.

In front of the Duke of England, Jiang Zhiyue decisively and ruthlessly slapped Lin Jingqiu in the face: "You are a liar who is full of lies!"

"Jiang Zhiyue! You are really rebelling!" The Duke of England subconsciously thought that this was a counterattack from his younger daughter out of anger and shame, and immediately scolded her loudly.

Jiang Zhiyue turned her head and shed two more tears. She looked at the Duke of Ying stubbornly, "Father is so unfair! If you want to convict me based on Auntie's words, just beat me to death!"

The Duke of England really raised his hand in anger, but when he saw the little girl crying desperately, closing her eyes, holding her head high, and looking ready to die, he hesitated.

He and Achan had not been close for many years. It was rare that Achan was so intimate with him today. If he slapped her today, the relationship between father and daughter would be damaged.

When Old Lady Yan saw Duke Yingguo raising his hand, her heart leapt into her throat, for she was afraid that he would really do it.

She glanced at Lin Jingqiu, then at her stubborn granddaughter. She was about to speak to ease the situation, but unexpectedly her granddaughter spoke on her own initiative.

The Duke of England's slap was still hanging in the air, and Jiang Zhiyue knew that he had made the right bet. Even if his father was mad, he would not really hit him.

"If you believe me, Father, I have a way to prove that Aunt Lin's new injury was not caused by me."

Jiang Zhiyue turned his head and glanced at Lin Jingqiu. The hunting intent in his eyes made Lin Jingqiu tremble all over.

The Duke of England asked, "What method?"

"Everyone uses the whip differently. You'll know if you try it again."

When Jiang Zhiyue said this, he saw Lin Jingqiu's pupils suddenly dilate again.
