Chapter 180 Bone Test

Two green cloth carriages, one in front and one behind, carrying Xiao Tangbao and Kong respectively, galloped towards the direction where Cheng Daoquan left.

First we left the city gate, and then followed a winding path to a village.

“Whoa—”

Chengfeng stopped the carriage far away, carefully picked up the still sleeping Tangbao, and led Zhilan to a thatched hut following the trail of the group in front.

Kong followed closely behind, supported by a nanny.

Suddenly...

A sharp scream was heard, and Chengfeng picked up the two children and ran away.

When he rushed into the house, he was shocked to see Mrs. Kong with half of her cheek swollen and her arms clamped and forced to kneel on the ground.

The awakened little Tangbao was still not fully conscious. In a daze, she buried her little face deeply in Chengfeng's shoulders and neck, rubbing it hard.

She shook her head, sleepily looking at the dazed Kong. Her gaze shifted away from her, quickly sweeping across the people in the room, landing on the skeleton in the corner, and then looking down at the soul bottle...

After a while, the little fellow said in a baby voice, "I saw that Cheng Huaijin's soul was brighter... Those must be Cheng Huaijin's bones."

Boom!!!

Although they were mentally prepared, everyone was still struck by lightning. Tears instantly filled their eyes, and emotions of grief and anger surged into their hearts.

The two guards who restrained Madam Kong covered Su's mouth tightly for fear of scaring Her Royal Highness the Princess, and instantly removed her arms, as if afraid of dirtying their hands, and threw her to the ground.

Mrs. Kong looked at her daughter for help, but saw Kong Yingxue's body soften and fall heavily to the ground.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Kong Yingxue felt so suffocated in her chest that she wanted to scream, but her throat seemed to be strangled and she couldn't make a sound.

She bit her tongue hard, using the severe pain to force herself to wake up, and used her hands and feet to crawl towards the skeleton desperately.

Jin'er, my Jin'er...good child...Mother is late...Mother is sorry for you...

Mother, I’m sorry!!!

She knelt in front of Cheng Huaijin's corpse, stretched out her violently trembling hands, and touched the white bones.

Why? ?

"Why!!?" Kong Yingxue's eyes flashed with coldness, shooting straight at her mother.

"No," Mrs. Kong shook her head desperately, "It's not, it's not what you think! I didn't kill anyone!!"

Facing her daughter's murderous eyes, Mrs. Kong was frightened. She was the child she had risked her life to carry for ten months. She loved her and she could not lose her precious daughter.

Mrs. Kong tried to stand up but failed. She knelt on the ground and kept explaining to Kong Yingxue: "My dear daughter, don't look at me like that. Listen to what I have to say..."

"The body is here! Are you still quibbling at this point? Are you only thinking about how to exonerate yourself?!" Kong Yingxue's eyes were bloodshot and she was yelling hysterically.

Mrs. Kong panicked instantly: "Jin'er is my grandson! How could I kill him? I really didn't want to kill him! I, I just wanted to send him away, as far away as possible!"

"Yingxue, please believe me. I gave his adoptive parents a lot of money and told them to treat Jin'er well..."

"It's them! They are the ones who broke their promise! They didn't keep their promise! They killed my little grandson!!!"

"I, I, I'm going to find them... I'm going to make them pay for my Jin'er's life... I'm going to find them right now..."

Mrs. Kong said this and ran out on her knees.

Kong Yingxue closed her eyes tightly, pulled out the dagger, and pounced towards Mrs. Kong.

But Cheng Wenjin grabbed her by the waist, snatched her dagger and threw it to the ground.

"Ah!!" Kong Yingxue desperately tried to break free from Cheng Wenjin's restraints, screaming like a mad woman, "Let me go! I'll kill her!"

Her mind was filled with the miserable appearance of Cheng Huaijin after he was stripped of his clothes...

Her Jin'er is most afraid of being hungry...

Her Jin'er never revealed until the end that the person who harmed him was his own grandmother!

While struggling, Kong Yingxue saw the clear scratches on the door panel out of the corner of her eye. Thinking of Cheng Huaijin's bloody fingertips, she went completely crazy.

"Cheng Wenjin! Let me go!!"

"The hatred for killing my son is irreconcilable! I will make the Su family pay for their blood debt with blood! To comfort Jin'er's soul and to console her spirit in heaven!"

“Ah——!! I want to die with her!!!”

Mrs. Kong was stunned and turned to look at her daughter in disbelief.

The child she risked her life to give birth to, the daughter she had loved and raised with all her might for over twenty years, not only did she not believe her, but she also wanted to die with her?!

ha……

She looked at Kong Yingxue coldly and was no longer bothered to clean up the mess for her!

"If you hadn't been so shameless back then, having an affair with someone else and giving birth to Huai Jin without knowing whether to live or die...why would I have to work so hard for you all these years, covering up your scandal?!"

Cheng Wenjin was stunned, his hands loosened, and the person in his arms fell to the ground.

"I don't!"

“I don’t have any!!!”

Kong Yingxue seemed to be unaware of the pain. She stared at Su with her bloodshot eyes and yelled at her.

She didn't feel guilty at all, and she didn't even bother to look at other people's expressions or explain to Cheng Wenjin.

"How many times have I told you that I, Kong Yingxue, have never had an affair with anyone? Why don't you believe me?!" Kong Yingxue had already collapsed.

Mrs. Kong looked disdainful and asked, "At this point, you are still quibbling?"

That’s it! She’s just going for it!

If Yingxue was divorced, the worst that could happen would be that she would support her for the rest of her life!

But Kong Yingxue would never give up the mother-daughter bond between them, in this life or the next!

Madam Kong closed her eyes tightly, exhaled a long breath, and said firmly: "Ruoruo said that she saw you having a tryst with someone with her own eyes, and it happened more than once!"

"Ruoruo! Ruoruo! Ruoruo!" Kong Yingxue grabbed her hair in despair: "Is she your daughter or am I your daughter? Why do you believe what others say? You never believe what I say?!"

"She's your sister. She was less than ten years old at the time. Could she lie? Would she lie?"

"..." As the fog parted, Kong Yingxue's expression became even more distorted: "So... all these years, you've always believed that Jin'er wasn't a member of the Cheng family?"

"Is that why you keep coming to my house and making such a fuss, forcing me to have endless arguments with Cheng Wenjin?"

"How pitiful are the parents in the world," Mrs. Kong's tears fell down, and she couldn't suppress the grievance in her heart.

"What good will it do me if I cause trouble in his Cheng Mansion? I'm only doing this to help you, so that you can give birth to a son for him, Cheng Wenjin!?"

"You ungrateful wolf...you still want to kill me???"

Mrs. Kong cried even harder: "Kong Yingxue, let me tell you, no matter who Jin'er's biological father is, he is my grandson. I just want to send him away to be raised... I never wanted him to die!"

"Even if I'm wrong, others can blame me, but you, Kong Yingxue, can't!"

Cheng Daoquan listened quietly the entire time, his expression growing increasingly grim. He dragged Cheng Wen in front of the skeleton and cut his finger with a knife...

"Since you and your daughter can't explain it clearly, then we'll use bone dripping to test our kinship!"
