Mrs. Shen still wanted to step forward, relying on the fact that she was an elder of the Shen family who deliberately made things difficult for Xiang Jinzhu, "Xiang Jinzhu! Why don't you stop me quickly!"
Shen Hong was his precious son. If Governor Jiang made any mistakes, she would definitely not be able to spare these people!
Mrs. Shen stared at Xiang Jinzhu, her eyes full of dissatisfaction and anger. She secretly thought to herself that this Xiang Jinzhu usually seemed obedient and obedient, but she didn't expect him to be like this.
When Poria woke up, she ran frantically into the ancestral hall. When she saw the fire, she was startled. When she came over, she saw the lady lying motionless on the ground and knelt down.
"Miss! You can't die!"
Fu Ling's shouts were heartbreaking, and she burst into tears. She threw herself on Shen Zhiyi's body and tried to feel her breath with trembling hands.
"Miss... wake up!"
Without breathing and feeling no warmth, Fu Ling's heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar, and tears of despair kept falling.
Poria's cries echoed in the silent ancestral hall, desolate and helpless.
"Old Madam, Mr. Shen, Madam Luo, what did my young lady do wrong? You actually want to burn her alive!"
"What nonsense!"
Fuling's accusation shocked everyone present, and Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen's expressions changed drastically. Luo Mei looked at Shen Hong guiltily and saw that he also had a look of shock and fear.
"Fu Ling, don't talk nonsense!" Luo Mei shouted sternly, trying to stop Fu Ling's mouth.
However, Fu Ling seemed to be willing to give up. She raised her head and looked directly at everyone with eyes blurred by tears, "You think you can hide it, but the lady is no longer breathing. You can no longer hide the fact that you burned her to death!"
"You!" Luo Mei was so angry that she was trembling all over, wanting to step forward and teach this maid who knew nothing about heaven and earth a lesson.
"That's enough!" Xiang Jinzhu suddenly shouted, interrupting Luo Mei's movements, "Fu Ling belongs to my daughter's yard. When will you be able to discipline even a concubine?"
Luo Mei was stunned by Xiang Jinzhu's sudden attack. Her face turned red and she was speechless for a moment. Upon seeing this, Mrs. Shen immediately jumped out to smooth things over, "How can this girl keep her when she talks such nonsense?"
Xiang Jinzhu glanced at her coldly, "My daughter was burned to death in the ancestral hall. I haven't cried enough yet, so you have no time to argue here."
When Poria heard this, she cried even more sadly. She hugged Shen Zhiyi tightly, as if she wanted to transfer her body temperature to her.
"Miss, wake up..."
Seeing this, Mrs. Shen couldn't let this little girl talk anymore. She stepped forward and tried to drag her away. Xian Qing grabbed the old lady and said coldly: "Madam, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Shen struggled angrily, "Let me go! You bastards!"
"Xiang Jinzhu, are you crazy? Tell Governor Jiang to stop! Do you want to kill your mother?" Luo Mei.
"Xian Qing!" Governor Jiang stopped him and added slowly: "Teach her a lesson."
Xian Qing paused and turned his head to look at Governor Jiang. After receiving the approval, his face darkened and the aura around him instantly became cold.
The next moment, he turned around suddenly and slapped Mrs. Shen hard on the face. The force was so strong that she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Ah!" Mrs. Shen covered her face and looked at Xian Qing in disbelief, "You dare to hit me? How dare one of your servants hit me!"
"So what if I hit you?" Xianqing looked indifferent, "I haven't asked you to kneel down to apologize."
One sentence made Mrs. Shen turn pale with fright, and she no longer dared to speak.
She only felt a pain in her feet and fell to the ground. A sharp pain came from her and she gasped in pain. "Governor Jiang, what do you mean?"
Luo Mei endured the pain and raised her head to look at Governor Jiang, her eyes full of anger.
Governor Jiang did not speak, but glanced at her lightly, took a step forward, looked down at Luo Mei, "Madam, there are some accounts, it's time to settle them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his foot and stepped hard on Luo Mei's hand.
"Ah!" There was another shrill scream, and Luo Mei felt that the bones in her hands were about to be crushed. She looked up at Zhan Qing, her eyes full of fear, "You... what are you going to do?"
Jiang Yubai said nothing, but only increased the strength on his feet.
Luo Mei's face turned pale in pain, and large beads of sweat slid down her forehead. She wanted to struggle, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of Governor Jiang's stamp on her.
He turned around and looked at Mrs. Shen, begging her to save him. However, Mrs. Shen was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body was trembling, completely losing her previous majesty.
She knew that Governor Jiang was not someone to be trifled with, and if she intervened rashly, she would probably only make the Shen family even more unlucky. She could only watch with helpless eyes as Governor Jiang stepped on Luo Mei's hand, her heart aching.
The begging in Luo Mei's eyes gradually turned into despair. She knew that she could no longer escape this fate. Tears slid down her cheeks, mixing with sweat, making her look particularly miserable.
She bit her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from making a sound, but the heart-wrenching cry still echoed in her ears. At this moment, she no longer had the arrogance and dominance she had before.
"Old lady, don't leave. My disciple remembers you, so you have to go down and accompany her." Governor Jiang raised a sneer on his lips and stared at Mrs. Shen fiercely, "I will send you on your way today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xian Qing appeared in front of Mrs. Shen and grabbed her neck. "Old man, go to hell!"
"Governor Jiang, please keep her alive." Xiang Jinzhu hugged Shen Zhiyi and said softly.
Jiang Yubai used force and threw Mrs. Shen out.
