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

Chapter 18: Intimidation to the End

If there was anything that Lin Jingqiu cared about very much, apart from the power of the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion, it was probably her youngest son Jiang Nianshi.

Jiang Zhiyue remembered one thing. In his previous life, Jiang Nianshi's servant said something wrong. It was probably because Jiang Nianshi was of noble status and was the son of a duke, so he would have a good future even if he didn't study.

After Lin Jingqiu found out about this, she cleared out everyone around Jiang Nianshi.

The servant boy was apparently kicked out, but in reality Lin Jingqiu did not let him go at all and secretly hired someone to beat him to death.

Lin Jingqiu had very high expectations for her son, so high that she couldn't tolerate anyone saying something wrong.

What if Lin Jingqiu and Jiang Nianshi were separated?

Jiang Zhiyue had not originally intended to separate Lin Jingqiu and her son so quickly, but Lin Jingqiu was too anxious to deal with her, which gave her an opportunity.

In response to Jiang Zhiyue's words, the Old Lady and the Duke of England both began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Jingqiu was really panicked. Regardless of the injuries on her body, she humbly grabbed the corner of Duke Ying's clothes and cried, "Please have mercy, Duke. I will change. I will definitely change! No matter what punishment you give me, please don't let Nian Shi leave me..."

Having said that, she knelt down again and kowtowed to Jiang Zhiyue, begging for mercy as she kowtowed: "Sixth Miss, I was wrong. I will never dare to go against you again. Please, please forgive me, please..."

Jiang Zhiyue lowered his eyes and watched Lin Jingqiu kowtow and beg for mercy, as if he really knew he was wrong.

If it were the Jiang Zhiyue of the past, he would have thought that Lin Jingqiu was truly repentant, but the reborn Jiang Zhiyue knew too well that Lin Jingqiu would never admit her mistake.

Lin Jingqiu's admission of mistake was just a means for her to achieve her goal.

Lin Jingqiu's attitude of admitting her mistake was so humble that the Duke of England frowned.

After all, he and Lin had some feelings for each other, so it was hard for him not to be soft-hearted when seeing this situation.

The old lady saw the change in her eldest son's expression and knew that he had softened his heart again. She turned her eyes away and waved to Jiang Zhiyue, "Zhiyue, come to grandma."

Jiang Zhiyue stepped forward as she was told. The old lady wiped her tears carefully and said softly, "Zhiyue was wronged today. Your father is confused, but your grandmother will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."

The Duke of England was helpless, "Mother, my son is not..."

"Shut up!" Old Lady Yan was full of majesty and glared at him, "It's ok that you don't come home on weekdays, and Achan is filial to you, but the first thing you did when you came home today was to question Achan without knowing right or wrong. Do you still behave like a son or a father?"

"Mother, please calm down. I am wrong." The Duke of England decisively lifted his robe and knelt down.

Seeing that he would admit his mistake, Old Lady Yan's anger subsided a little: "How are you going to deal with Lin's slander of Ah Chan today?"

Duke Ying was silent for a moment, then said, "Ms. Lin's behavior was inappropriate, he committed an offense against his superiors, he will be punished with 20 strokes of the cane, confined to his home for half a year, fined one year's salary, and is not allowed to attend this family dinner."

Such a light punishment... Jiang Zhiyue turned his head away, refusing to look at the Duke of England again.

Old Lady Yan snorted in displeasure, "You are the Duke of Ying, and you have been in charge of the Ministry of Justice. You know how serious the crime of false accusation is! How can you convince others by just letting her go so easily? Do you know that if Ah Chan cannot prove herself today, her reputation, the reputation of an old man who raised her, and the reputation of the women in the Duke's Mansion will all be ruined?"

When Old Lady Yan pointed out the seriousness of the matter, Duke Yingguo suddenly realized what was going on and his face became even uglier.

He was not good at the affairs of the inner house, so he decided to ask the old lady for help: "Please work hard, mother. I will listen to you. Just spare Lin's life. After all, she has continued my bloodline."

When Lin Jingqiu heard that the Duke of England did not mention his son's plea for him in the punishment he mentioned, she felt a little relieved. But as soon as the old lady opened her mouth, Lin Jingqiu's heart was in suspense again.

Old Lady Yan did not disappoint Jiang Zhiyue. She immediately identified Lin Jingqiu's lifeline: "Mrs. Lin has made mistakes in her words and has no distinction between superiors and inferiors. She is unfit to be a mother. From today on, she will be handed over to Aunt Lian for upbringing."

"Old Madam! I…"

"Shut her mouth!" The old lady slammed the table immediately, and Nanny Cheng immediately stepped forward to clamp Lin Jingqiu and cover her mouth.

"As for Lin's punishment, slandering the master is an act of disloyalty and injustice. He will be caned 30 times, and will be punished after he recovers. He will be confined to Qiushuiju for a year, and his monthly salary will be confiscated for a year. He must copy the female precepts a thousand times and reflect on his mistakes."

"The last one is to apologize to A-Chan. Do you have any objections?"

Only after the old lady finished speaking did Nanny Cheng let go of Lin Jingqiu.

Lin Jingqiu pleaded with red eyes: "Please don't take Nianshi away, he is still young and cannot leave his mother!"

Jiang Zhiyue was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Nianshi is only temporarily being raised by Aunt Lian, and the family tree has not been changed. As long as Aunt Lin sincerely repents, there is no need to panic."

Change the family tree?!

Lin Jingqiu's pupils suddenly widened and she looked at Jiang Zhiyue in disbelief. She was threatening him!

Jiang Zhiyue looked at Lin Jingqiu calmly, "Why are you looking at me like this, Auntie? Am I wrong?"

Lin Jingqiu was almost vomiting to death, but she couldn't deny Jiang Zhiyue's words. Otherwise, the old lady would believe that she had no remorse and would really turn Nian Shi into someone else's child!

"Thank you, Sixth Miss, for your reminder. I will reflect on my mistakes." Lin Jingqiu said this almost through gritting her teeth.

Jiang Zhiyue smiled, turned around and bowed slightly to the old lady: "Thank you, grandmother, for seeking justice for Zhiyue, and...thank you, father."

The word "also" made the Duke of England feel particularly subtle.

Seeing the deep affection between Jiang Zhiyue and Old Lady Yan, and seeing that Duke Yingguo's eyes were all on Jiang Zhiyue, Lin Jingqiu really wanted to eat her alive.

But she couldn't, and even had to apologize to that little bitch Jiang Zhiyue!

Seeing Lin Jingqiu apologizing to him with his own eyes, Jiang Zhiyue's anger was only slightly relieved. After all, this was only the first step.

After Lin Jingqiu apologized, she begged for justice from England: "My Lord, I really know I was wrong. Can you let me see Nian Shi? Considering that I have worked hard over the years, even if I have not made any contributions, I beg you."

The Duke of England was about to agree when he suddenly saw Jiang Zhiyue's stunned expression.

Jiang Zhiyue lowered his head and whispered, "A child with a mother is a treasure."

Jiang Zhiyue's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it.

Old Madam Yan was already distressed that her granddaughter was being plotted against, and when she heard that she missed her mother, she glared at the Duke of England. If he wasn't so stupid, he wouldn't have made his granddaughter sad!

Duke Ying felt as if his heart was being grabbed by an invisible hand. He was speechless and rejected Lin Jingqiu's request out of the blue.

"No need to see you again, I will tell you when I have the chance."

Lin Jingqiu closed her eyes in despair, wishing she could tear Jiang Zhiyue apart with her own hands.

Jiang Zhiyue raised her eyes and said softly, "I'll go with Dad. After all, I'm the elder sister, and it's my duty to take care of my younger brother."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jingqiu's heart was filled with alarm. What was she going to do to Nian Shi?
