Chapter 1106 looks like someone who's good at stealing credit.
The woman, who had just pretended to faint, was forcibly forced to sit in a chair.
In front of everyone, he shaved his head and was escorted by Xiang Zheng's confidants to Guanyin Temple, hundreds of miles away from the capital, that same day.
As for the servant who helped her administer the drug, Xiang Zheng invited everyone in her household to witness the execution.
Everyone except the children, who were sent back to the courtyard, had to stand there and watch as the servants were flogged.
The area below the spine was beaten to a pulp, a bloody mess, which made many people vomit.
Xiang Zheng just watched coldly.
Some people tried to leave, but were stopped by Xiang Zheng's people.
"Your Highness, this person is already dying, why haven't you let them go yet?"
Xiang Zheng stood in the crowd, the servant's blood already flowing to her feet.
"You are all veterans who fought your way through the battlefield, and you are Xiang Zheng's elders. It's one thing for the younger generation to be unable to bear such a bloody scene, but are the elders also unable to bear it?"
Xiang Zheng could no longer bear the Xiang family's decline; the Xiang family she remembered should not be like this.
"Life has improved now, but have you elders forgotten how you came from the border to this magnificent courtyard?"
The man being questioned by Xiang Zheng turned around, wanting to say something.
Standing behind Xiang Zheng were Xiang Huayan and Chai Shuo.
The man swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"If you elders do not wish to return to that desolate border region with its endless yellow sands, then please open your eyes and take a good look."
This is the consequence of your downfall and the decline of the Xiang family. Now the backbone of the servants has been broken, but in the future it will be ours. It is the efforts of the Xiang family, with its hundreds of members, to achieve today's glory.
If I were to be defeated by you like this, I would send you to meet your ancestors in the underworld without even waiting for His Majesty's intervention.
I'm telling you upfront that if such a disgraceful thing happens in your home again, don't blame me for being ruthless.
As for the scandals each family has committed outside, I will no longer cover them up. You'd better stop now.
A family may fall from grace but can rise again; however, if a family begins to rot from within, then there is truly no chance of recovery.
After Xiang Zheng finished speaking, regardless of whether these people listened or not, she still wanted to go and see her fourth uncle.
When Xiang Zheng heard that the child had been switched, she doubted that she had misheard.
Someone actually dared to switch children in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion; they must have thought they were too old to live.
"Father, I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to check on Fourth Aunt."
After being enlightened by the Empress Dowager yesterday, Xiang Huayan has come to understand the current situation.
He couldn't control the Xiang family's decline. If Xiang Zheng could, he should have relinquished power more decisively.
"Okay, go and take a look. I've already sent people to look for that child."
Before Xiang Zheng had gone far, she was immediately surrounded by people.
"Brother, are you really going to hand over the entire Duke's Mansion to A-Zheng to manage? She is just a woman. Although she has some achievements in business, she is still a merchant, not a prominent figure."
Xiang Huayan looked at the blood on the ground where these people had trampled on it.
Those who were just moments ago too scared to look could now walk right over the blood with their shoes after Ah Zheng left.
“You are originally a collateral branch. When the Xiang family was not thriving, you came to rely on me and I didn’t say anything.”
Now that my daughter is making the decisions at home, you have a problem with that?
Seeing Xiang Huayan's cold face, none of them dared to speak.
"Chasing the wind."
Xiang Huayan shouted towards the back of the crowd, and a burly man immediately pushed through the crowd and walked up to him.
"Send a few people to take the people from houses two, four, and seven back to where they came from."
"No, brother, you can't do this! That girl is from their fourth branch of the family. What does she have to do with us? We're all one family!"
Xiang Huayan's face turned completely cold as he addressed the group:
"From now on, you don't need to come during festivals or holidays. Just stay put. If anything happens, Xiang Zheng can help you out of consideration for our shared ancestry."
"If you cause trouble outside under the guise of the Duke's Mansion and the Xiang family, I will personally investigate you."
Those who have fought on the battlefield can frighten others with just a glance.
"Brother, you know how difficult things are for us. Just because of Ah Zheng's words, you want to drive us away?"
How will you face your ancestors in the underworld? They won't even help us with this small favor."
Liang Chongyue didn't want to watch this bickering. Judging from her uncle's attitude, she was certain that these collateral relatives would be sent away.
I haven't seen so many members of the Xiang family's collateral branches in previous years.
Some of them are already distant relatives.
It's easy to come, but hard to leave.
Whoever receives these people will naturally be responsible for sending them away.
The system's view gradually became clearer, although the scene was still filled with blood.
But it's clear that the battle is over.
The system stood in the courtyard, covered in blood. In the rest of the courtyard, even at the system's feet, lay corpses lying haphazardly.
The system had already pried open the cellar door and driven away the rats that had climbed into the children's bamboo baskets.
They carried the child out with their mouths.
Upon placing the child on the ground, the system immediately opened a panel and began examining the child's body.
Fortunately, the child was unharmed; only some of the blanket had been gnawed off by rats.
As long as the child is not injured, that's all that matters.
"No need to clean your body anymore. Soldiers have arrested the people who just ran away, and they are now approaching under their guidance."
The system shook its head and flicked the blood off its body onto the ground.
She was very careful not to throw it at the child.
"The mad dog is there, and the child is in the cellar."
When the officers and soldiers arrived, the system was carrying a bamboo basket containing a child in its mouth and turned to look at them.
The fierceness in his eyes hadn't faded yet.
"Put the child down right now, or we'll take action."
The system looked at these people and wasn't entirely at ease.
"Host, can I take the child back to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion by myself? These people seem very eager to steal credit."
Liang Chongyue agreed, on the condition that the system reinforced the bamboo basket.
Make sure the child doesn't fall off the road.
"Are you blind? A dog that big must be His Majesty's pet."
"Is that a child in that basket?!"
The system ignored the soldiers, spotted a direction, and carried the child, leaping across rooftops and disappearing from their sight in no time.
"Boss, His Majesty's dog has taken the child. Shouldn't we give chase?"
The soldier who was called "leader" hesitated for a second, then used his supernatural powers to leap onto the roof, where the dog was no longer in sight.
