RUMOR HAS IT THAT I'M PREGNANT WITH HIS HIGHNESS' CHILD (C)

Chapters 191-200

191 Staking it All

Madam Jiang was shocked. She hurriedly stood up and accidentally knocked over the chair behind her. She grabbed Yu Kangtai's hand tightly, as if she was grabbing onto a life-saving straw.

"Master, I've served you with all my might for so many years and even gave birth to a pair of children for the Yu family. Even if I don't have any contributions, I've worked hard. Do you really want me to be captured?"

Yu Kangtai could not bear it. However, he knew that Madam Jiang deserved it. He should not be soft-hearted. Hence, he turned his face away from Mrs. Jiang.

Madam Jiang knelt on the ground and cried.

"Master, even if you don't care about our many years of husband and wife relationship, don't you care about Ah Sheng and Pingping? I'm their biological mother. If I am convicted, how would they live in the future? How can Sheng take the imperial examination in the future? How can Pingping talk about marriage in the future?"

These words hit the mark. He really couldn't destroy the future of the two children for Madam Jiang. He shook off Mrs. Jiang's hand and pointed at her as he scolded.

"Now you know to think of the children. What were you doing earlier?!"

Madam Jiang fell to the ground weakly and cried.

Yu Sheng and Yu Pingping wanted to say something, but they felt that nothing they said was right. They neither wanted their mother to be captured nor wanted to disappoint their sister.

Yu Kangtai looked at Duke Xianglang and begged.

"Can you spare Madam Jiang on account of me?"

Xiao Juan said coldly, "There are national laws and family rules. If she makes a mistake, she has to be punished. Otherwise, what's the point of the Justice Department?"

Yu Kangtai was speechless.

He steeled himself and decided to risk his old face. He lifted the hem of his shirt and knelt down.

"Your Highness, please!"

Seeing this, Yu Sheng could no longer sit still.

He stood up and walked over quickly. Without hesitation, he knelt.

"Your Highness, my mother is indeed in the wrong. I'm willing to accept the punishment on her behalf!"

With that, he knocked his forehead heavily on the ground.

"Don't arrest my brother!" Yu Pingping rushed over and quickly knelt down. "If you want to arrest me, arrest me. I'm willing to suffer for my mother!"

Yu Sheng grabbed her arm and whispered, "Hey, you're a girl. Don't get involved. Go back to the house."

Yu Pingping was unconvinced. "So what if I'm a girl? I'm also a member of this family. I can do anything you can. Don't look down on me!"

Yu Sheng raised his head and begged Duke Lang, who was sitting in a chair.

"Don't listen to this nonsense. Get someone to take me away. You can judge me however you want. Whether I get flogged or sent to the border, I'll accept it!"

Yu Pingping squeezed forward. "Capture me! Capture me! I've been in good health since I was young. No matter how you punish me, I can take it!"

Seeing this scene, Yu Kangtai felt relieved and bitter. He turned to look at Madam Jiang, who was already crying, and roared, "Look what you've done! This is all your fault!"

Madam Jiang really regretted it now.

She regretted it. Why had she been blinded by hatred and forgotten that she had such obedient children?
