Chapter 15
Now that their family's heir had died, even if the Kim family was a fence-sitter, they wouldn't let Wei Wuxian off.
At the scene, Wei Wuxian, who was absent-minded because of Jin Zixuan's death, and Wen Ning, who went berserk, were restrained, and no more casualties were caused.
The Kim family detained Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning, and sent a letter to the Jiang Family, asking for an explanation.
Meanwhile, in the backyard of the Kim family, Madame King, who was still immersed in joy, immediately fainted after hearing the news. The smile on Jiang Yanli's face froze, and he muttered in disbelief, "Impossible, this is impossible, Zixuan, Ah Xian …"
When the Jiang Family heard the news, they also didn't dare to believe it. Jiang Cheng gave a meaningful glance to Tenderness, and Tenderness held onto her stomach and gasped in pain.
In actuality, even if Jiang Cheng didn't give her a meaningful glance, she wouldn't be able to hold on anymore. The husband of the Jiang Family's big miss had died, and it was done by her own younger brother. If it wasn't for her firm will, she might have already gone crazy.
Seeing her like this, Lady Yu didn't dare to make things difficult for her anymore, and she hurriedly helped Tenderness into the bedroom to rest.
After the two women left, Jiang Cheng said to his father, "Abba, the most important thing right now is to resolve this matter. I believe that Wei Ying, there is definitely something hidden behind this matter!"
The two men were also grieving in their hearts, and they were also worried for Jiang Yanli's future. However, they were men after all, and the burden on their shoulders wasn't just their small family.
Jiang Zongzhu still had a grieving expression on his face, but his tone was firm, "No matter what the matter is, Wei Wuxian is still a member of our Jiang Family. I will personally make a trip to Jinlintai, you take care of the family."
The two men weren't muddle-headed, they definitely had to protect Wei Wuxian, not only because of feelings, even if he was to be punished, it could only be the Jiang Family's matter. If other people were to punish Wei Wuxian, the Jiang Family's reputation would be greatly reduced.
Jiang Cheng nodded his head, "It has been hard on Abba, I will definitely take care of the family."

Kim Kwang-yao returned to his residence, made himself a pot of tea, and slowly tasted it. Amidst the dense fragrance of the tea, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His plan had been completed successfully, and no one had suspected him. How could he not be proud?
With the news sent to him by Tenderness, he knew better than Jin Zixuan what the Jiang Family gave them every time. Sometimes, he would even suggest that Tenderness add something to make Lady Yu more satisfied with this attentive daughter-in-law.
Since Jiang Yanli became pregnant, the Jiang Family had sent a lot of calming incense under Tenderness's suggestion, which had the unique fragrance of lotus flowers. When he went out on patrol at the right time, those things were openly in his hands.
After Jin Zixuan's death, he took advantage of the Kim family's confusion and asked people to replace the rest of the things that had been added. It was watertight.
This was the same method that Jiang Xuan used to deal with Wen Ruohan. At that time, Wen Ruohan died without knowing that this series of "accidents" were caused by Jiang Xuan. Jiang Xuan also didn't expect that Kim Kwang-yao would use the same method that she used on Wen Ruohan. It was really an eye for an eye.
Kim Kwang-yao had many ways to kill Jin Zixuan without touching it, but no matter which method, it was not as effective as the Jiang Family doing it themselves. He not only wanted the position of Clan Lord, but he also wanted Jiang Xuan.
Jin Zixuan died in the hands of Wei Wuxian, so the alliance between the Jiang Family and the Kim family on the surface was broken. Jiang Cheng was already married. If the two families wanted to reconcile, Jiang Xuan could only marry over.
However, he should also stop. He couldn't hold back Jiang Xuan in Chongzhou. Anyway, his ambitious cousins would definitely not let him down. He could wait for his wife to come back and let her vent her anger.

Jiang Fengmian rushed to Jinlintai that very night. The first thing he did was to bring the Jiang Family's apology gift to Kim Kwang-sun.
The leader of a sect came in person, and almost all the higher-ups of the Kim family came. Jiang Fengmian still straightened his back. First, he felt sorry for Jin Zixuan, and then he said that the Jiang Family would definitely give the Kim family an explanation for this matter. The Kim family also sent a generous apology gift. He also hinted that the Jiang Family would definitely support Kim Kwang-sun if he wanted to nominate an immortal governor in the future.
The Kim family saw that the Jiang Family's attitude was very proper, and their expressions eased a lot. Jiang Fengmian saw that there was a turn for the better, so he said, "Ah Xian came to the Jiang Family when he was young. He has always had a good relationship with Yili, and he was also classmates with Shaozong Kim. When my wife and I learned about this in Yunmeng, we couldn't believe it. However, we believed that the Kim family's character wouldn't deceive us, so we came over.
I just hope that the Lord of the Kim Clan can understand my love for my son and let the Jiang Family investigate this matter personally. This will also let my wife feel at ease. If there are other secrets in this matter, it will also be an explanation for your son. "
The Kim family were all shrewd people. They immediately understood Jiang Zongzhu's meaning: as long as the Jiang Family intervened in this matter, there would be no more secrets in this matter.
If the Jiang Family and the Nie Family encountered this kind of thing, they would definitely throw out the gifts without hesitation and chop Wei Wuxian into pieces. They would kill the murderer in public. Did they really think that there was no one in the Nie Family who could protect the murderer?
However, the Kim family was different. No matter how important Jin Zixuan was, he was already dead. If they killed Wei Wuxian, they would become enemies with the Jiang Family. Then, not only would they lose a powerful ally, but they would also have one more enemy.
It would be better to hand over Wei Wuxian in exchange for the Jiang Family's support and get the position of Superintendent of Immortals. This could also be considered as Jin Zixuan's last contribution to the Kim family.
Besides, the Jiang Family wouldn't let Wei Wuxian off the hook directly. Even if he returned to the Jiang Family, he wouldn't have a good life. Why must he die in his own hands?
Kim Kwang-sun pondered for a long time. He seemed to be hesitating, but in fact, he wanted to put on airs and get more benefits. He also wanted to make the Jiang Family even more grateful.
He could sit still, but someone couldn't. Madame King rushed out from behind the screen and stabbed at Jiang Fengmian with her sword. He narrowly dodged it.
"Stupid woman!" Kim Kwang-sun cursed in his heart. He didn't slow down either. He reached out and knocked Madame King's sword out of her hand, restraining her.
Madame King saw that things weren't going well. She cursed loudly, "Jiang Family bastard, you killed my son and still want to use this junk to protect the murderer. Bah!
Take your things and get out!
I'll definitely make that lowly servant's son pay for my son's life! "
Jiang Fengmian glanced at Madame King's crazy state and said to Kim Kwang-sun, "Since that's the case, then the Kim family can deal with Wei Wuxian on their own. Madame King is right, but he's the son of a servant. Even if they have deep feelings for each other, it's still inappropriate. However, I pity my eldest daughter who just lost her husband. I want to bring her back to the Jiang Family now to let her relax. After all, she's still young and can't stay in Jinlintai forever.
What do you think, Lord of the Kim Family? "He actually wanted to directly abandon Wei Wuxian and take Jiang Yanli away, cutting off all ties with the Kim family.
Kim Kwang-sun hurriedly comforted him, "My wife is too sad. Jiang Zongzhu will definitely understand her feelings as a parent. I also understand Young Master Wei. He's honest and upright. He's definitely not an evil person. It's just that at that time, Nie Zongzhu said that there was no inside story. I was also helpless."
Jiang Fengmian didn't put on airs. He said, "That's why we need to investigate carefully. If it really has nothing to do with anyone else, the Jiang Family won't let him off."
Back at their residence, Jiang Fengmian let out a long sigh. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad. The Kim family had so many sons, but they couldn't even compare to a woman. Fortunately, they were able to protect Wei Wuxian.

Jin Ling, the son of Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli, was born with a noble status and a powerful family. The position of Clan Lord was already in the bag.
But all of this was suddenly gone when he was one month old. All that was left was the bright and beautiful appearance of the eldest son's grandson.
This made Kim Kwang-sun's nephews' thoughts become active.
But the Kim family let Wei Wuxian go. Jin Ling also had the support of the Jiang Family. This made them dissatisfied, and they reported this matter to Nie Ming.
Thus, right after Wei Wuxian returned to Lotus Pier, Nie Ming and his men rushed over.
He said to Jiang Zongzhu and Lady Yu, "Wei Wuxian practiced crooked methods and killed Jin Shaozong. Now the Jiang Family wants to protect this murderer?"
Lady Yu said, "There's more to this matter than meets the eye. Otherwise, why would the Kim family let him go?
But Nie Zongzhu is right. He really should learn his lesson. "
After she finished speaking, she took out Zidian and whipped Wei Wuxian's body. Wei Wuxian knelt on the ground and silently endured it, not saying a word.
Jiang Zongzhu and Jiang Cheng also didn't stop her.
When Lady Yu was tired of whipping, she withdrew her Zidian.
Nie Ming said, "From now on, Wei Wuxian will be locked up in the Jiang Family's Hall of Reflection. Nie Zongzhu, are you satisfied?"
Nie Ming?
He said angrily, "A life for a life. You want to settle this matter with a few lashes and a few days of imprisonment?
Don't even think about it! "
Jiang Zongzhu said, "This is my Jiang Family's matter. Nie Zongzhu doesn't need to worry about it!"
After he finished speaking, he led his men into Lotus Pier.
Lotus Pier's formation was set up by Jiang Xuan. Nie Ming?
He couldn't do anything about it, but he also couldn't take it lying down. Thus, he gathered all the families to discuss and pressure the Jiang Family together.
Kim Kwang-sun's nephews took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and forced Jiang Yanli to be sent to Nie Ming?
Beside him, he suggested, "This is little Madame King, the eldest daughter of the Jiang clan. With her in our hands, the Jiang Family will definitely …"
"Send her back!"
Nie Ming flicked out a section of the blade with his thumb.
"What?"
"I said, send her back to Jinlintai!
This matter was done by Wei Wuxian, what does it have to do with other people?
Furthermore, he used a woman to threaten, the actions of a lowly person is not what a man should do! "
These people were unwilling, but they didn't dare to refute Nie Ming.
Thus, they had no choice but to send Jiang Yanli back to Jinlintai.
Ever since Jin Zixuan got into trouble, Jiang Yanli had always wanted to see Wei Wuxian. She naturally believed in Wei Wuxian, and she also knew that Wei Wuxian was definitely blaming himself right now. Thus, she wanted to go and ask about the specific situation and also comfort her brother.
Thus, she took advantage of the fact that the few people weren't guarding against her and knocked them out, then headed towards Lotus Pier.
Ever since Wei Wuxian returned to Lotus Pier, he had been staying in the Hall of Reflection, not eating or drinking, as if he had lost his soul.
Jiang Family didn't go and persuade him. Although this matter had come to an end, it wasn't that they didn't have any resentment. At the same time, they were also worried that Jiang Yanli wouldn't be able to take it after losing her husband, thus, they really didn't have the mood to persuade him.
At this time, Nie Ming?
He sent a letter saying that he wanted the Jiang Family to come to the Nightless Club's main hall to discuss this matter.
Jiang Family was also annoyed. They had paid quite a price to appease the anger of Kim family, and even the victim's family didn't make a fuss, yet he, Nie Ming?
Why was he meddling in other people's business?
This was also because their standpoints were different. The defendant and the plaintiff reached a private settlement, and the impartial judge who upheld the original judgment suddenly didn't please either side.
Judge Nie insisted on convicting Wei Wuxian, but Chifeng Zun's prestige was high, and there were many slanderers. The Jiang Family also had no other choice, so Jiang Cheng went to the Nightless Club as a representative.
