As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Jiang Mingjin looked at Jiang Mingwei in disbelief and asked in a low voice, "What did you just say?"

Jiang Mingwei was furious, but when she looked at Li Yihuan, whose face was pale, in his arms, she couldn't bear it.

Taking a deep breath, he spoke again: "I said my sister-in-law has been poisoned..."

"Shut up! Nonsense! I never imagined you were such a heartless person, cursing your sister-in-law and her unborn child the moment you returned!"

"Do you know that this child is also your nephew, related to you by blood?"

Jiang Mingwei was slightly taken aback, then chuckled hastily, her face full of mockery and disappointment.

"So, you don't believe me?"

Jiang Mingjin snorted coldly, angrily flicked his sleeve, and his eyes were filled with coldness. He didn't look at his sister, but rather at an enemy with whom he had a deep-seated hatred.

His heartache for Jiang Mingwei was genuine, his sense of indebtedness was genuine, but his hatred for her was equally genuine!

"How can I trust you? Jiang Mingwei, you're a complete menace!"

"You caused the death of your sister-in-law's unborn child, disrupted the whole family, and even caused your father and mother to pass away from excessive worry. Now that you're married, you still can't behave yourself!"

He grew increasingly agitated, his harsh words lashing out at Jiang Mingwei, "If I had known this would happen, I should have refused all visitors! If General Wei hadn't come with you, do you think I would have wanted to see you?"

"Enough, my husband, stop talking!"

Li Yihuan quickly stopped him, her pretty face full of tension, and reached out to stop him.

“Weiwei meant well, she had no ill intentions. You are her brother, why are you acting this way?”

"Kindness?" Jiang Mingjin sneered, looking up at Jiang Mingwei and mocking, "She's an ignorant and incompetent person, how could she possibly know medicine? She can't even come up with a decent one, she's utterly heartless!"

Jiang Mingwei felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't spit out or swallow a mouthful of blood.

Is this really his biological brother?

Fortunately, thanks to Li Yihuan's persuasion, she had a slightly different opinion of Jiang Mingjin.

Looking back now, he truly hated himself to the core!

"So this is the kind of person my brother sees me as." Jiang Mingwei chuckled self-deprecatingly. "After Wei Zhi's sacrifice, did my brother even hope that I would hang myself with a white silk ribbon and follow him in death, so as to preserve the reputation of a loyal Jiang family woman?"

A hint of panic flashed in Jiang Mingjin's eyes, but her tone remained stubborn.

“It’s your business, it has nothing to do with me! Jiang Mingwei, from the moment you killed my child, I stopped acknowledging you as my sister.”

Warm liquid flowed down her cheeks. Jiang Mingwei reached out and touched it, finding her hand covered in tears.

She took a deep breath, her heart feeling as if it were being gripped tightly.

"Alright, I'll just pretend I don't have a brother like you. I just hope you can stay confident and not regret it after you've hurt your sister-in-law and the child!"

"Jiang Mingwei, how dare you curse them?"

Jiang Mingjin was furious. She took three steps forward and raised her hand high, saying, "Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!"

He was too fast to dodge in time. Jiang Mingwei closed her eyes and subconsciously raised her hand to cover herself.

I felt a gust of wind pass by, but the slap never landed on my face.

She was filled with unease, but when she looked up, she saw Wei Jing holding Jiang Mingjin's hand tightly beside her.

Their eyes met, and sparks flew...

As a military officer, Wei Jing remained calm and composed, but the force he applied made Jiang Mingjin's expression somewhat awkward.

Jiang Mingjin shoved him away and staggered backward, but Li Yihuan quickly caught him.

He patted his wife reassuringly, then glared coldly at Wei Jing.

"What does General Wei mean by this?"

Jiang Mingwei finally came to her senses from the chaos and stared blankly at Wei Jing. He had actually stepped in to save her.

Wei Jing stepped forward, subtly shielding Jiang Mingwei behind him, and bowed to Jiang Mingjin.

"I have offended the Minister, but since my sister-in-law is married, she is a member of the Wei family, and it is not wrong for me to protect my family. As for what she said... it is better to believe it than not! Instead of blaming my sister-in-law, it is better to take your wife for a proper check-up. With the Minister's rank, finding a royal physician is not difficult."

Jiang Mingjin tightened her lips, still staring warily at Jiang Mingwei, remaining silent.

But then Wei Jing turned around, his back slightly bent, and asked Jiang Mingwei in a low voice, "It's getting late, why don't you come back with me, sister-in-law?"

"Okay, I'll listen to my second brother."

Jiang Mingwei nodded, not refusing.

She came with great anticipation, only to leave with profound disappointment.

She lowered her head, her eyes were red, and tears clung to her eyelashes, making her look pitiful and adorable.

Wei Jing saw this and felt extremely uncomfortable.

He shouldn't have gotten involved in the Jiang family's dispute, which is why he hadn't said anything earlier.

It is clear that Jiang Mingwei argued her case with reason, but instead of being understood, she was beaten and scolded, so he couldn't help but take action.

In hindsight, it was the right thing to do.

Even though things didn't go well, Jiang Mingjin and his wife still had to come to the door to see them off.

When Hua Cui received the news that she was leaving, she rushed out in a hurry.

She was overjoyed to see her father and mother. Just as she was about to speak to Jiang Mingwei, she noticed that Jiang Mingwei's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

Looking at the eldest young master and his wife, whose faces were ashen, he immediately understood.

Not daring to say anything, he silently boarded the carriage.

Soon, the group left the Jiang family's house.

Seeing the carriage disappear into the distance, Li Yihuan, her eyes red, reached out and lightly punched Jiang Mingjin's chest.

"My husband is usually such a calm and composed person, so why does he act like a completely different person when he's with his own sister? Do you know how hurtful your words were today? I'm afraid Weiwei no longer wants to associate with us!"

Jiang Mingjin felt a tightness in his chest, but he remained defiant.

"I gave her a chance by letting her join the sect today, but who would have thought she would dare to hurt you again!"
