He cried so hard that tears welled up in his eyes, and the old lady's cane hung on him, so she couldn't hit him anymore.
[Wow, could this guy be a little less dramatic, just like his money? He's only interested in deceiving his own family, isn't he?]
Jiang Zhaorong was just beginning to waver, but upon hearing this, he immediately put away his sympathy.
"What are you doing, second brother? If you don't know, you might think I've treated you badly."
Jiang Jianjin's whole body stiffened.
"Leaving a way out for yourself? Afraid of starving to death in the streets? How dare you say such things? Even if you don't have an official position, the farm in your hometown, that one acre and three mu of land, isn't it enough to support you and your concubines?"
[Well said! You can't let people like this take advantage of you. A little kindness, a big grudge. Just leave this ungrateful person alone! Don't be soft-hearted!]
[My breasts are visible and I cannot let anyone be soft-hearted! ]
Jiang Zhaorong: “…”
Why has Zhiyu been saying such strange things lately? He can only guess what they mean.
Xu Youran and Jiang Sulan had the same idea as him.
Jiang Jianjin collapsed to the ground after being exposed, his face pale. The door opened and a chubby little boy ran out and stood in front of him: "Don't bully my dad!"
Jiang Jianjin hugged Brother Heng tightly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and looked at the old lady beside him pleadingly.
The moment she saw Brother Heng, the old lady's heart softened instantly. She looked at Jiang Zhaorong hesitantly and said, "He was just confused for a moment. For Brother Heng's sake, I will send someone to send them back home tomorrow. Zhaorong, don't worry about it."
The old lady felt soft-hearted when she saw Brother Heng. When Jiang Zhaorong saw him, he thought of boy's urine, and a feeling of nausea suddenly rose from his throat.
He suppressed his nausea and said, "Brother Heng's face? What face does he have! He is not even of the Jiang family's bloodline!"
Xu Youran:!!!
Not his biological son? Then why did Jiang Jianjin raise him?
She secretly glanced at the expressions of others and found that except for her and the old lady, everyone else looked calm.
Huh? They know everything?
The old lady was also shocked: "What nonsense! Brother Heng is your brother's biological son and my grandson!"
Jiang Jianjin didn't know how Jiang Zhaorong knew this, but he would never admit it, "Brother Heng, he is my biological son! This is my fault, it has nothing to do with Brother Heng, don't take it out on him!"
[Still pretending! Really good acting! Everyone here is a master of acting! If this happened in modern times, everyone would have a Best Actor or Best Actress trophy!]
[What a pity, I was born at the wrong time.]
Jiang Zhaorong: “…”
Is this how you use "born at the wrong time"?
Fortunately, when he heard his daughter's inner voice last time, he sent someone to secretly investigate what happened. Seeing that Jiang Jianjin refused to admit it, Jiang Zhaorong sneered: "Why, do you want me to force Yuelian to come up and confront you in person?"
As soon as the name Yuelian came out, Jiang Jianjin felt as if his throat was strangled. His face turned pale and he couldn't utter a word.
Gao, who was hiding behind a tree and observing secretly, felt a chill in her heart. She didn't dare to watch any further and backed away stealthily. Just as she was about to leave, her feet seemed to bump into something. Then, a piercing scream rang out. Jiang Zhiyu jumped to avoid her: "Who's eavesdropping?! You stepped on me!"
Gao secretly cried out inwardly, and the next moment, she was forced out by several servants. Under the dual illumination of moonlight and lamplight, her fair face was exposed to everyone.
[She almost got away, and I had to intervene. Jiang Jianjin still has some money hidden with her!]
Jiang Zhaorong's face sank. These boxes weren't all there was! If it weren't for the young fish, Jiang Zhaorong didn't know when he would find them.
The old lady frowned. She also disliked her daughter-in-law: "Gao, why are you hiding?"
"To answer mother, I saw the Prime Minister and Master arguing, and I was afraid it was something between brothers, so I didn't dare to go forward. I was also afraid that something big would happen, so I didn't dare to leave. After thinking it over, I decided to watch secretly, so that I could come out and stop anything if it happened."
[Nonsense! She'd clearly packed her things long ago, and since she saw things weren't going well, she was just going to secretly take them back to her parents' house. Go!]
[The bag is still in the woods!]
This family! Jiang Zhaorong was so angry that he had a headache. He gave the servant beside him a look and looked at the grove. The servant immediately understood what he meant and walked into the woods with a few people.
Gao was startled, and the tips of her fingers holding the handkerchief turned white.
God help me, please don’t find it.
Compared to the Gao family, the most important thing now is whether Brother Heng is the blood of their Jiang family!
The old lady knocked the ground with her cane: "Gao, let me ask you, is Brother Heng really the blood of our Jiang family?!"
Gao's tears welled up in her eyes as she knelt gently on the ground: "Brother Heng, of course it is. Your daughter-in-law has been brought up in a strict family. How could she do such a shameful thing as having an affair with someone else? Mother, you have to believe me."
After she finished speaking, her tears slowly flowed down.
[Wow, you are the perfect heroine for Qiong Yao!]
Xu Youran: “…”Who?
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Come, bring out the girl locked up in the woodshed. Let's go directly to the Dali Temple and let them judge her."
Jiang Jianjin and Gao were suddenly panicked.
The servants who went to search the woods also came back. It was obvious that God was not on Gao's side. The leading servant came back with a package, opened it in front of him and spread it on the ground.
The package was full of jewelry and silver.
"Gao, can you explain?"
"This isn't mine! Lord Prime Minister... maybe some dishonest girl threw it in there because she was afraid someone would find it! This isn't mine!"
Her frantic explanation made her look particularly guilty. Jiang Zhaorong was too lazy to waste words with them. He kicked away the things in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Suppress the Second Master's family and take these things with them and hand them over to the Dali Temple!"
Jiang Jianjin and Gao burst into tears and did not dare to ask Jiang Zhaorong for help, so they set their sights on the old lady.
Brother Heng was just a child, so frightened by the scene before him that he forgot to cry. Jiang Jianjin pulled him to hug the old lady's legs and begged for mercy: "Grandma, please spare my father and mother."
Although this was the child she had seen grow up, the issue concerned the bloodline of their Jiang family, and the old lady's muddy mind finally became clear.
Judging from the expressions of Jiang Jianjin and Gao, Brother Heng was most likely not a child of their Jiang family, just as Zhaorong said.
The old lady couldn't stand being deceived for so many years. She brushed Heng's hand away and said, "Don't call me grandma. I'm not your grandma!"
No matter how much she doted on the child in the past, now when she looked at the child again, she only felt extremely annoyed.
No wonder she listened to the master's advice and drank boy's urine for so many years but failed to prolong her life and was constantly suffering from minor illnesses. It turned out that this child was not a member of their Jiang family at all!
Thinking of this, the old lady's stomach cramped and a feeling of nausea rushed straight to the top of her head.
