âYouâre such a good daughter. If it werenât for your complaining, would Mother be worried?
âIf she wasnât in a hurry, would she force me to beg for my betrothal gift? Would she think of desperate ways to recover the money?
âNow that Grandmother and Mother have been arrested, youâve pushed away all responsibility. Do you still have any conscience?â
âYou⦠Iâll fight it out with you!â Yang Wanyu shouted indignantly and rushed toward her.
Yang Wanning didnât shirk and grabbed Yang Wanyuâs wrist. She pressed her down and said, âHow dare you refuse to admit responsibility? Whoâs the one who keeps asking for her dowry every day?â
âLet go of me! I was never a part of this!â Yang Wanyu struggled and shouted.
âYou know very well whether or not you were a part of this.â
Yang Shicheng looked at them arguing and shouted, âAlright, all of you shut up. Look at how you are acting! Did you forget you are ladies from a noble family?â
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
At the same time, he was highly disappointed in Yang Wanyu.
Just like Yang Wanning had said, no matter what, her mother and Madam Cui were sent to prison because of her. Not only did she not feel guilty, but she also pushed all her responsibilities away.
Would he be able to rely on such a daughter in the future?
When he passed the garden, he saw the servants chatting in groups. He immediately went to the butler and scolded, âIf they want to continue working, work as they should. Get lost, otherwise.â
âThis old servant will definitely manage them better.â The butler immediately replied carefully.
âIf thereâs a next time, 1 wonât let this go so easily.â Yang Shicheng returned to the study after saying that.
The butler touched his forehead and muttered, âSigh, I guess itâs up to me to take all that pent-up anger away.â
Although he was unhappy, he still gathered the servants together and gave them a round of instructions.
Yang Shicheng thought about it and felt he should visit Mrs. Cui, especially his mother. Otherwise, he would be criticized by others for being unfilial.
He changed into his regular clothes. At the same time, he asked the maidservants to pack some cotton clothes and blankets. He then carried the clothes directly to the Ministry of Justice to see if he could get at least one of them out of prison.
After learning of his intentions, King An shook his head. âYouâve already been suspended. Donât get involved in this matter.
âI canât make any decision on this. Letâs just wait for the Emperorâs judgment.â âUgh, then, can I go in and send them some cotton clothes?â
âThis is fine.â King An nodded and stood up, asking his attendant to bring Yang Shicheng to the prison cell.
Yang Shicheng was shocked by the cold air inside when they entered the cell. He couldnât help but shiver. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had brought some cotton clothes and blankets for them. Otherwise, it would be uncertain if they could even come out alive.
He walked to the door of the prison cell where the two women were. He then saw the two of them shivering under one blanket through the bars. âMother, your son is here to see you.â
When the aunt and niece heard his voice, they immediately turned their heads. After confirming that it was him, Mrs. Cui immediately helped Madam Cui up and walked over happily. âMaster, youâre finally here to pick us up.â
âI canât free you two for the time being, but Iâve brought you some cotton coats and blankets.â Yang Shicheng pointed at the two big bags the prison guard had brought over after checking.
âWhat do you mean? Didnât we confess?â Madam Cui grabbed the bars and asked anxiously.
âYes, master, the Cui family has been raided, and all the silver has been confiscated.â Mrs. Cui echoed.
âThis matter has to wait for the Emperorâs decision. Iâve already been suspended from my position.â Yang Shicheng shook his head.
At that moment, the warden opened the cell door and threw two bags in. âThis problem of yours has blown up, and because of this, the Third Princeâs wedding has been disrupted.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After saying that, he locked the door and looked at Yang Shicheng. âLord Yang, you only have fifteen minutes.â
After saying that, he turned around and left..
