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

"This is simply nonsense! Jingqiu can't stand any more beatings now!" The Duke of England immediately rejected this ridiculous proposal.

Lin Jingqiu was already seriously injured, and she was beaten again. Is she going to die?

Jiang Zhiyue confronted the Duke of England with a stubborn look on her face, "Father, why don't you agree? Isn't my daughter's reputation important?"

The Duke of England had a gloomy expression on his face and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Jiang Zhiyue sneered and changed the subject to Lin Jingqiu: "Xuan Hall is the residence of the mistress of the Duke's Mansion. Even if father has given the green light, you should still remember your status. If you act arrogantly and let outsiders know, how will they view our Duke's Mansion?"

The Duke of England remained silent, as what his youngest daughter said made sense.

He was used to not caring about the trivial matters at home. He thought it was appropriate for Lin to take care of them for him and it was okay to give Lin some face.

But as Zhiyue said, the reputation of the Duke's Mansion was important. Even if he was momentarily foolish and allowed Lin to live in the mistress's courtyard, Lin should have resigned.

Seeing that the Duke of England remained silent, Lin Jingqiu felt an ominous premonition growing stronger. She had to do something to save the situation!

"I know I was wrong, but why did Sixth Miss have to beat me to death? If it really doesn't work, I'll just hit my head against it and kill myself to satisfy Sixth Miss's anger!"

As Lin Jingqiu spoke, he struggled to stand up and rushed towards the pillar without hesitation!

In a flash, Changying jumped and stopped Lin Jingqiu, and the two of them rolled on the ground.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at Lin Jingqiu with an increasingly cold gaze, and turned to the Duke of Ying and said, "Auntie Lin, you are not afraid of death, so a mere whip is no problem for you."

The Duke of England was so angry at his youngest daughter's words that he laughed. Mrs. Lin wanted to die to prove her innocence, but she was still so persistent?

"you……"

"Father, you have to be reasonable." Jiang Zhiyue looked directly at the Duke of Ying. "She said that I went to Qiushuiju yesterday and committed a crime, and almost beat her to death. There was not even a witness. She said so much. Could it be that I deserved to be wrongly killed by her?"

Lin Jingqiu wanted to speak again, but the old lady knocked her cane and said, "Achan is right. The witnesses of the Lin family are all from Qiushuiju. How can we prove that it was Achan who did it?"

"Mother, but Lin..." The Duke of England felt sorry for Lin Jingqiu. Her injuries were indeed serious!

"Achan is your youngest legitimate daughter, and I raised her myself. Even though she is a little willful in her daily behavior, she would never do such a cruel thing!" The old lady interrupted the Duke of England with a sullen face.

The Duke of England was speechless, feeling mixed emotions about the mother's firm defence of her little daughter.

Jiang Zhiyue's nose felt sore when she heard this, and tears started to flow again. Soon, she wiped away her tears, pursed her lips, and said word by word: "If that's the case, how is my father going to clear my name?"

The Duke of England was shocked, and the words of his little daughter and mother were like a blow to the head.

Jiang Zhiyue knew her father's character very well. He was a great commander who was a genius in commanding troops and was respected by everyone. But he was a fool who knew nothing about family affairs!

The only good thing is that he always thinks of the father-daughter relationship with me.

Otherwise, in her previous life, the result of being framed by Lin Jingqiu would not have resulted in her being kicked out of the Duke's Mansion, but a sudden death.

At this moment, Jiang Zhiyue knew that her father had been shaken, but it was not enough.

If Lin Jingqiu uses such a crime to frame her again today, she will use such means to pay it back clearly.

If she hadn't carried out a lynching, then she would carry out a lynching again in front of her father!

"One whip will prove whether my aunt's injury was caused by me. But if my father cannot give me justice today and let me bear the bad reputation, then I can't bear it in vain."

Jiang Zhiyue stared at Lin Jingqiu with a murderous look in his eyes: "In the future, I will carry a long whip with me and whip you every time I see you, until the day you die."

Lin Jingqiu immediately rushed towards the Duke of England with a frightened look on her face, begging him to make the decision.

The Duke of England looked down at Lin Jingqiu who had pounced upon him. He was covered in wounds, and even his exposed neck had whip marks.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at Lin Jingqiu crying sadly with cold eyes, without any intention of giving in.

The Duke of England did not want Lin Jingqiu to be beaten again, nor did he want his little daughter to be charged with the vicious crime of whipping her stepmother.

Things remained at a stalemate until Shen Mo arrived and Jiang Zhiyue took the horsewhip from him.

In front of the Duke of England, he whipped Lin Jingqiu hard again!

'Snapped'--

The sound of the whip breaking through the air had already foreshadowed the power of this whip, which was much heavier than the one Lin Yuzhong hit her with. It directly tore her outer and inner clothes apart, and blood was drawn at the first blow.

The Duke of England didn't even have time to stop it. He only heard Lin Jingqiu scream, which was extremely tragic.

"Achan!" The Duke of England shouted harshly and squatted down to check Lin Jingqiu's injuries.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't care at all. He casually threw the whip in his hand to Shen Mo and raised his eyebrows: "I've already hit you. Dad, take a closer look. I'm really ruthless. This is the strength."

In fact, it had been arranged before she came. Starting from the time she entered Chunhui Hall, it would take a cup of tea for Shen Mo to enter Chunhui Hall again.

As for the whip that Shen Mo brought, it was just one of Jiang Zhiyue's preparations.

In addition to the whip, Jiang Zhiyue also asked Shen Mo to prepare sharp blades such as daggers that could hurt people.

She knew very well that Lin Jingqiu would never give up easily, and it all depended on what method she would use to frame her.

The Duke of England was speechless at his little daughter's overbearing behavior and could only lower his head to check Lin Jingqiu's injuries. As soon as he saw it, he could tell something was wrong.

Duke Ying was the commander-in-chief of an army and had also served as the Minister of Justice. He knew weapons very well. The same weapon had different lethality in the hands of different people.

The scars on Lin Jingqiu's body were of varying ages, and it was obvious that they were caused by two people.

The first whip marks were identical to the latest ones, both were caused by the whip being applied with great force, the scars were deep and concentrated, almost reaching the flesh.

The scars from yesterday looked bloody, but they were not concentrated. They were just skin breaks, and blood was seen because of the heavy beatings.

The Duke of England stood up. Jiang Zhiyue and Lin Jingqiu both saw that his expressions were extremely unexpected. Jiang Zhiyue remained calm, while Lin Jingqiu had a miserable look on his face.

"Lin..."

"I was bewitched!" Lin Jingqiu admitted her fault much faster than Jiang Zhiyue expected. She kowtowed, "I was humiliated in public by the Sixth Miss, so I lost my mind and did this. I am willing to be punished. It is my fault! It is my fault!"

Jiang Zhiyue looked at Lin Jingqiu indifferently as he begged for mercy and admitted his mistake. She seemed to have never seen Lin Jingqiu in such a posture before. He was so humble that he seemed like he could be easily crushed to death.

But this is not heartbreaking enough.

"Father." Jiang Zhiyue said, "Mrs. Lin is willing to die to slander my daughter's reputation. How can she be a good mother if she is so vicious? My biological mother is so despicable. If she leads Nian Shi astray, the whole Duke's Mansion will be ashamed of her in the future."

Lin Jingqiu turned back suddenly, the hatred in his eyes almost turning into reality.
