Chapter 212



Every time she took a step forward, Madam Sun took a step back, until they had nowhere to retreat to, and then she raised her voice in a stern voice.

"You...what are you doing! You Jiang family killed someone, and you are still arrogant in the street?"

"Heh." Jiang Ying sneered, "Are you so sure, Sun Bo, that it was really my third brother who killed him?"

"Who else could it be but him! So many people saw it. Jiang Xiaolang beat my grandson to death. He was so lawless. Poor grandson of mine. Woo woo woo woo. He died at such a young age..."

"Everyone come and take a look. The Jiang family bullies others by taking advantage of their power. The young people they raised are even more arrogant and domineering. They take human lives lightly. Even such a family is still a duke and calls himself a benevolent doctor!

"I say that she is not worthy of the plaque bestowed by the emperor. Please open your eyes and don't be fooled by such a vicious person who kills people without blinking an eye!"

The one who supported Madam Sun and let her scold her to her heart's content was none other than Sun Ruoyan.

Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying for three days and three nights.

After Madam Sun finished scolding, she wiped her eyes softly and immediately continued, "That's right, wow wow wow, no matter how big a mistake my brother made, he shouldn't be sentenced to death. Besides, didn't he just feel resentful because the Jiang family broke off the engagement with my sister, and complained to his friends at the dinner table?"

"Who would have thought that Jiang Xiaolang would rush over and beat me to death with punch after punch!

"Because of this, my father was so heartbroken that he didn't want to be an official anymore. My mother was bedridden and cried every day. My grandmother... my grandmother was so sad that she fainted seven or eight times. However, because there was no one in charge of the family, she forced herself to cheer up and make an excuse for the Jiang family.

"Our Sun family has truly reached a point of devastation! Imagine if something like this happened to you, wouldn't it be a shock? Wouldn't you be confused?"

Not to mention, Sun Ruoyan is also a good opera singer. With her plaintive crying voice and tragic golden beans dropping, plus a few people from the Sun family deliberately making trouble, many onlookers immediately pointed fingers at the Jiang family!

"Did he really beat someone to death? Isn't it too much to beat someone to death just because of a disagreement?"

"I know! The eldest son of the Jiang family was originally engaged to the eldest daughter of the Sun family, but I don't know what happened recently. The Jiang family suddenly turned around and married the Lu family. Didn't this ruin the reputation of this good girl? It's understandable that Mr. Sun is full of complaints about this!"

"Oh, that's right! I happened to be at Tianxiang Tower on the day of the incident, and I saw with my own eyes that Third Master Jiang rushed in and beat the man to death without saying a word! Although it was indeed Master Sun who was mean, it's really unfair that he died like this."

Everyone was talking at once, not even caring that the sun was setting and it was time to go home. It was a rare opportunity to join in the excitement of the top government, and their gossipy hearts were burning.

Jiang Ying's face was colder than ever before, thinking that he was too kind before and let off a betrayer like Sun Ruoyan, who turned around and bit him back, deliberately pushing the Jiang family to the forefront of the storm.

While staring at her with sharp eyes and thinking of a solution, Jiang Xiaochen Xiao stepped forward and whispered in her ear, "Sister, second brother has something to tell you..."

Outsiders didn't know what the siblings were talking about, but Jiang Ying's eyes lit up. "Really? Second brother, can you do that?"

Jiang Xiaochen's eyes were firm. "Please hold on for a while, sister. I will take some people and come to help you soon."

"No problem." Seeing such a good thing that could ruin Sun Ruoyan's reputation, Jiang Ying's every cell was instantly filled with anger, and he rolled up his sleeves unconsciously, "Second brother, just go ahead. With the Sun family's limited combat power, they are no match for me!"

After saying this, Jiang 轲臣 retreated to the side and soon disappeared.

Jiang Ying, however, stood on the steps at the entrance even more heroically and even ordered someone to bring a chair.

"Okay, you guys want to talk it out, right? Then no one should leave today, let's talk it out together!"

"Ah... my poor grandson... he was just seventeen years old, still unmarried and without children, yet you mercilessly beat him to death, leaving me, an old man, to die before him..."

Old Madam Sun started singing a war song, howling as if the Sun family had lost Sun Bo, as if they had no descendants at all.

But Jiang Ying knew that Sun Bo had several half-brothers who had often been bullied by him, and they dared not speak out their anger.

Now that Sun Bo is dead, it has given these people an opportunity...

"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Ying's voice was cold. "From what the old lady said, Sun Bo is very filial and a good man who follows the rules and is kind and generous?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Sun was stunned. She didn't understand why Jiang Ying was praising his own grandson. What was he up to?

Then he thought, who cares? The person is dead. It is better to say good things about him than to say bad things about him. So he stomped his crutches and said, "Of course, my grandson is definitely a rare good child in the world, and you Jiang family are so black-hearted that you beat such a good grandson of mine to death!

"I don't care. If someone kills someone, he must pay for his life. This is only natural. You Jiang family, don't even think about getting away with this!"

Jiang Ying, "My third brother was personally invited by the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture to cooperate with the investigation around noon. I don't understand, who does the old lady mean by 'sheltered'? The prefect?"

"Alright, since the Sun family has reported the case, they should just calmly wait for the results of the investigation. As for right and wrong, can Shuntian Prefecture still mess around?

"You came to our doorstep crying and making a scene, being unreasonable and ruthless. Do you think you can outweigh the justice of the country?"

Madam Sun stiffened her neck and said, "Your family is a duke, a higher official than the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. Who knows if he will help you let Jiang 꽇朗 go!"

"In the final analysis, Madam Sun just doesn't trust the court? While Lord Sun went to the palace to file a complaint, Madam Sun made a big fuss about the Jiang family. It seems that not only does she not trust the court, but even the emperor can't make Madam Sun feel at ease!

"What is this, contempt for the monarch? Contempt for the imperial power?

"They summoned so many people with ulterior motives and incited the people with their words. What's going on? Is the Sun family...rebelling?!"

As Jiang Ying provoked her more and more, Old Lady Sun's heart skipped a beat and she came to her senses. This damn girl was viciously setting a trap for her!

The ancestors of the Sun family were humble men, but they were favored by the late emperor for their bravery. It is said that such a bold and outspoken spirit is precious, but the old censor Sun is the old censor Sun, and when it comes to the old lady Sun, she really has no foundation.

After the death of Sun Lao Yushi, Sun Dingji did not achieve even one-tenth of his grandfather's achievements.

The smart crowd of onlookers immediately came up with a plan.

"Hey hey hey! It's true. The Sun family has already filed a complaint with the emperor, so why are they carrying a coffin and coming here to make trouble? They are so ignorant!"

"Yeah, it's like asking the Lord of Heaven to help you make the decision, but then he doesn't believe it at all. It's just teasing the Lord of Heaven!"

"You are so reckless! How can you play with the might of heaven? Old Madam Sun's behavior is really not like that of a wise old lady from a family with rich family background!"

As more and more people criticized her, Madam Sun was panicking and spoke incoherently, "No...it's not like that, I didn't, that's not what I meant..."

Sun Ruoyan's eyes were like arrows, wishing she could punch a hole in Jiang Ying's body. She pulled Madam Sun back and cried weakly, "Don't say that. My grandmother is also very sad to lose her grandson."

"We have no other requests, but our brother's death was indeed unjust. As his family, we are already filled with grief and remorse for not being able to save his life. If we cannot let him die a proper death, we will be filled with grief and will not be able to sleep peacefully!"

Sun Ruoyan cried very sadly, because the one who died was her own brother. It's not that they had a very good relationship, but after all, they were born of the same mother.

Moreover, she was resentful of Jiang Yuyi's humiliation in breaking off the engagement, and she had vowed long ago to make him regret it!

Slowly, public opinion turned to the Jiang family's unfavorable trend. Seeing this, Jiang Yilin, who was about to step forward, paused and held back.

Chun Yang was puzzled, "Sister Xiao, aren't we going there?"

Jiang Yilin looked at the scene, with a look of satisfaction and schadenfreude on her lips. "Don't worry, the old guy from the Sun family looks powerful, but he's actually a paper tiger. But this Sun Ruoyan, I have to look at her with new eyes."

"...Haha, as expected, once a woman's hatred and jealousy erupt, their power is astonishing."

Chun Yang subconsciously stared at Jiang Yilin and thought, indeed.

People of the same kind really understand their own kind best...

Just when Jiang Ying was ready to have another round of verbal battle with Sun Ruoyan to delay time, Jiang Yuchen came back, followed by a man, a woman and a child.

When he led his men and pushed through the crowd to enter the center of the war, the others did not react much, but Sun Ruoyan's eyes became poisonous, and there was an inexplicable sharpness in her voice, "Vanilla, why are you with the Jiang family? Don't you know that our family is now as powerful as the Jiang family, and we are enemies? Come here!"
