Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Hand over the child, or your house will be demolished_1

After He Tang left, Jiang Ning made her way to the Cheng Family.

In Chang’an City, all the ministers and nobles knew about the princess consort’s special status. Wherever she went, she was revered and respected, like a divine dragon whose head was seen but not its tail.

Therefore, when the lady of the Cheng Family was informed by the doorman that the princess consort was here to see her, she was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. She ordered someone to escort the princess consort to the main hall and sent someone to notify the old master while hurriedly changing and washing up, not even daring to be assisted by her maidservant due to her anxiety.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, she immediately knelt down, “Yang greets the princess consort.”

“Please rise, Madam Cheng.” Jiang Ning said after receiving her salute.

“Princess consort, please enjoy some tea.”

Madam Cheng served tea nervously to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning took the tea, and set it aside casually, speaking coldly, “I’m very busy and don’t want to waste time. Madam Cheng, tell your old master to hand over He Tang’s younger brother. If he is safe and sound, perhaps we can resolve this issue. Otherwise…”

Madam Cheng was surprised, “Princess Consort, could there be some misunderstanding? How could the He Family’s child be in our Cheng Family?”

“I said, I’m not in the mood for small talk, twists and turns or procrastination!”

Jiang Ning felt like smashing the teacup, but seeing its exquisite and valuable appearance, she held back, thinking her temper has really been getting worse lately.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip, savoring the pleasant fragrance, then said again: “If you don’t know, ask your old master. I will only give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If I cannot see that child safe and sound by that time, I will tear down the Cheng Family’s house.”

Madam Cheng was terrified, and she immediately turned to her maid, “Quickly, call the old master!”

Cheng Renyu was hurriedly called back.

“Half of the incense stick is left.” Jiang Ning said, calmly.

Cheng Renyu kneeled down immediately, flipping his official robe, “Princess consort, what is the meaning of this? I don’t know what I have done to cause offense.”

“You tell me.”

Jiang Ning flung the teacup in front of him, pointing at him and cursing, “Who in the whole of Chang’an doesn’t know that He Tang and I are good friends? Because your daughter’s proposal was rejected, you set fire to their house out of anger and kidnapped his younger brother? I am asking you, do you have any shame? Didn’t Great Sheng have laws and regulations anymore?”

She looked at the incense stick that was about to burn out, “The time left for you is not much.”

Cheng Renyu kneeled motionless, “Princess Consort, you must have some misunderstanding. As the Governor of Chang’an, I would never do such a thing…”

“Gufeng!” Jiang Ning lost her patience, “Take the men and tear down this Cheng Family’s house for me! Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find that child!”

Gufeng was one to thrive on chaos. He hadn’t had a chance to fight and kill following Jiang Ning for a long time, so he was quite itching for action. Upon hearing her order, he happily tumbled and led his men to start the destruction.

Madam Cheng was scared out of her wits and dropped to the ground, crying.

Cheng Renyu’s face turned ashen, “The princess consort is violently destructing without any evidence. This is simply bullying! I object! I demand an audience with his majesty!”

“What, you want to file a complaint against me before the emperor?” Jiang Ning pointed her slender finger, “Gufeng, I find him annoying. Take a razor and shave off his hair, beard, and eyebrows. Apparently, Lingshan Temple is lacking an abbot. Let’s send him there to be a monk!”

Gufeng sprang forward, grabbed Cheng Renyu by the collar, and held a small knife to his hair topknot.

Madam Cheng, unable to bear the shock anymore, screamed, “Stop! Stop! I’ll hand over the child, Princess Consort, please stop!”
