The Duchess was taken aback. She wanted to say that he killed for the revenge of his father! But she couldn't utter these words!
If she admitted it, she would be confirming that her husband deliberately plotted to murder his father in order to take his position as the Duke of Zhen! If she said this, it would mean her family had deceived the Emperor, a crime punishable by death for her entire clan!
Even if her clan was executed, the Emperor would surely pardon Jiang Yuheng, because Jiang Yuheng was his future son-in-law! Everyone knew that the Fifth Princess would rather remain an old maid than marry anyone else! The Duchess of Zhen didn't want to risk her own life while Jiang Yuheng could still live happily!
"It was you who murdered them, you killed them to take the title of the heir to the Duke's Mansion!" The Crown Prince's wife wept at the Duchess' side, gritting her teeth as she spoke!
