It was hard not to arouse the curiosity of others.

Her temperament was just too special.

Jiang Shan laughed, “Seventh Sister isn’t feeling well, is there something you need our help with?”

This Second Miss Jiang was also tall and straightforward, like a formidable girl.

Jiang Ning handed over a piece of paper, “Our fifth sibling has been bullied; will you help with this matter or not?”

Jiang Shan took a look and handed it to her two younger brothers.

Jiang Fourth Son shook his fan and spoke with a frivolous air, “Of course we’ll help, but what’s in it for us?”

Jiang Shan glared at him, “You money-grubber, will you die if you don’t mention benefits?”

Jiang Ning laughed, “If you handle this matter, I’ll personally cook a meal for you.”

“Really?” Jiang Eighth Son’s eyes lit up, “I heard from my third brother that the food you make is really special; even the chefs in the palace can’t compare.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “It is indeed special, but whether it tastes good or not is up to the individual. You’ll know when you try.”

“In that case, we’ll do it.”

Jiang Fourth Son shook his fan and said, “This Marquis of Yuandong abuses his power to bully people, and his sons and daughters are all unremarkable. I’ve been annoyed by them for a long time! But our father has been away from home, so there has never been a chance to teach them a lesson. Now that our Sixth Sister has had her leg broken, if we don’t take revenge, others will think our Jiang Family is afraid of the Marquis of Yuandong!”

“Fourth Brother is right!” Jiang Eighth Son rubbed his hands together, “My broadsword has been itching for action!”

The Jiang Family’s Master was a military official, and his children all liked to play with swords and spears.

Jiang Shan slapped him on the back of his head, “Don’t use foul language.”

“Dad said worse than this…”

“You’re still young; wait till you’re grown up to talk like that!” Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Ning, “Since you’ve planned it all, let’s follow your arrangements.”

“Come closer.”

Jiang Ning beckoned.

So, everyone gathered around to listen to her whispering plans.

That afternoon, Princess Ling’an was caught having a secret rendezvous with a charming scholar at a teahouse.

The Marquis of Yuandong was furious and had her captured, then severely punished with fifty beatings.

The beaten Princess Ling’an was left with a bloody and bruised backside, she barely survived and couldn’t get out of bed for three months.

That night at the Spring Flower Pavilion, the Marquis of Yuandong’s Crown Prince was caught selling the exam questions and answers for the Autumn Examination with several other scholars.

It would have been one thing if it was just Princess Ling’an’s personal affair, after all, it was the Marquis of Yuandong’s private matter and, at most, it would ruin their reputation. But interrupting the Imperial Examination was a major issue.

The Emperor had always valued the examination system and could not stand cheating on exams.

The Imperial Examination was for selecting talents for the Imperial Court; if cheaters were selected, it would undermine the future of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Ultimately, the Emperor still relied on his officials.

This matter even alarmed the Emperor himself.

The Emperor was furious.

Even if the Marquis of Yuandong wanted to protect his son, it was not possible.

After the evidence was verified, he was directly sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. Punishment by torture was inevitable.

In just two days, the Marquis of Yuandong’s reputation was ruined, and their status in the Emperor’s favor plummeted, moving ever closer to ruin.

Who could have thought that behind all this were just a few Jiang siblings, who looked like noble degenerates?

Jiang Fourth Son deeply admired Jiang Ning.

The Marquis of Yuandong was closely associated with the Third Prince, Prince Huai. They were at odds with the Jiang Family. Even someone as cunning as Jiang Ruobai hadn’t been able to do anything to the Marquis of Yuandong.

However, they were taken down by Jiang Ning with just a few moves.

It was just too f*cking amazing..
