"When did I say I saw it with my own eyes?" What does it matter to her whether these children are dead or alive? What difference does it make if she saw it?
"If you didn't see it and you're making such baseless accusations, then can I also say that you, Second Sister-in-law, broke Mingxu's leg?"
Gu An'an's words startled Jiang Ersao. "Nonsense! You were the one who said we wouldn't go to the doctor if we didn't have money. What does that have to do with me?"
"Oh, so you did see it. Second sister-in-law, you saw it but turned a blind eye, letting the child injure his leg. I'd like to ask, since you said I was hired by your Jiang family to take care of the child, what do you Jiang family think of the children when they are injured and you don't care about them?"
Gu An'an suddenly became aggressive, causing Jiang Ersao to instinctively take two steps back. "You, you..." she stammered, unable to utter a single useful word.
Seeing his mother cornered against the wall, Jiang Xiaofei, consumed by youthful rage, charged at Gu An'an, yelling, "You bitch, why are you yelling at my mother like that?"
His sudden attack caught Gu An'an off guard, and by the time she realized the little guy had already crashed into her.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was impossible for Gu An'an to suddenly produce an entrenching tool for protection. If she did, she would definitely be taken in for investigation unless everyone in the Jiang family's old mansion was killed.
Seeing that he could only take this much damage, Jiang Mingyi, who was standing not far away, suddenly reached out, grabbed Jiang Xiaofei's clothes, and threw him backward, landing directly in Jiang Ersao's arms.
The mother and daughter fell heavily to the ground.
Jiang Mingzhu rushed forward, looking at Gu An'an, whose face was pale, with concern, "Mother, are you alright?"
Gu An'an slowly shook her head. "It's alright." Her gaze fell on Jiang Mingyi.
How could a young man be ungrateful? She just didn't expect the boy to be so quick-witted and realize Jiang Ersao's problem so immediately.
Their act back-and-forth caused Jiang Ersao to give herself away.
They kept claiming that Gu An'an was just a maid hired by the Jiang family to take care of their children.
As a result, Jiang Mingxu got injured but didn't care about it.
This inconsistency is simply laughable.
However, Gu An'an was caught off guard by Jiang Xiaofei's sudden attack, but fortunately Jiang Mingyi reacted quickly.
Otherwise, if she really got hit on the head by this kid, she might have to stay in bed for days, and Gu An'an couldn't stand that.
Jiang Ersao was lying on the ground, her whole body aching from the fall, but she couldn't care less about anything else when she heard her son's cries. "Xiaofei, are you alright? You brat, how dare you lay a hand on Xiaofei? Jiang Yonghai, are you dead? Your son was about to be beaten to death by this bastard, and you just stood by and watched!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lao Er's gaze toward Jiang Mingyi turned fierce.
Since the third child isn't here anyway, and I'm the elder, isn't it only right for me to discipline a child who doesn't know the rules?
"Jiang Mingyi, how dare you lay a hand on my son!"
The young man looked at the unsteady-footed man with a look of emptiness on his face, and said with a hint of disdain, "What? You want to teach me a lesson?"
The cold voice made Jiang Lao Er's heart tremble, and his hands started shaking. "You, do you still have any respect for me as an elder? Kneel down before me."
"Ha." You don't deserve it.
Jiang Mingyi couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to this person; his gaze fell on Jiang Ersao and her son.
The boy's eyes held a hint of coldness, causing Jiang Ersao's heart to tremble slightly. "You, what do you want?"
"It's nothing, since Jiang..."
"Yi'er, be careful!"
The urgent voice made Jiang Mingyi turn around. He saw the anxious look on Gu An'an's delicate face, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Unexpectedly, she would have moments of worry and fear.
The stench of alcohol filled his ears. "On behalf of the Jiang family's ancestors for eighteen generations, I'm going to teach you a lesson, you grandson!"
Jiang Lao Er grabbed a wooden stick from somewhere and swung it straight at Jiang Mingyi's head, as if he wouldn't stop until he smashed the boy's head to pieces.
Gu An'an never expected that the cowardly Jiang Lao Er would be so desperate.
Seeing the critical situation, she didn't care about anything else. She muttered a sentence and was about to raise her arm to throw the entrenching tool when she saw a figure flash by out of the corner of her eye. When she looked closely, she saw a lean man holding Jiang Lao Er's wrist.
Gu An'an breathed a sigh of relief and silently put away her entrenching tool.
"I was just trying to scare the kid, Third Brother, don't take it to heart. This kid has been corrupted by that little slut, he's completely lawless. Just now he even yelled at your Second Sister-in-law and Xiao Fei to fight. Xiao Fei is the golden grandson of our Jiang family, we can't afford to have any mishaps with him."
Jiang Yong'an looked at the thin young man, his expression unreadable. "I will naturally take care of Mingyi, so there's no need for you to worry about it, Second Brother."
The third son.
Is this Jiang Yong'an?
Gu An'an felt that the voice seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
However, judging from those words alone, he does seem to be reasonable and protective of his own. But in that case, my trip to Jiangjia Village today is unlikely to go as planned.
Jiang Mingzhu stared wide-eyed at the tall, imposing man. "Is this my father?"
Thinking about how the man had saved her brother from disaster, Jiang Mingzhu's feelings became complicated.
Jiang Mingxu, standing behind the two women in the house, poked his head out from beside Gu An'an and asked, "Hey, you, that man, are you Jiang Yong'an?"
Jiang Yong'an frowned upon hearing this and was about to turn around when he suddenly heard a loud cry, "Your Majesty, Bao'er is scared, boohoo, Bao'er is scared, Your Majesty, Bao'er wants a hug."
The little girl in Jiang Mingyi's arms was crying with tears streaming down her face, looking very aggrieved.
Seeing this, Jiang Yong'an recalled that when he found the child, she was only a few months old, staring at him with wide eyes. Suddenly, he felt an overwhelming tenderness in his heart. "Baby, don't cry, don't cry. Daddy will hug you, okay?"
Before he could even reach out, he smelled a sweet fragrance, like the scent of some flowers and plants.
The woman's voice was gentle, "Baby, don't be afraid, Mommy's here, don't be afraid."
The little girl sobbed in that gentle embrace, and for a moment she quieted down considerably.
Children are the most honest people; their reactions to who treats them well and who treats them badly are always the most genuine.
Jiang Yong'an looked at his youngest daughter like this, his gaze falling on half of her profile.
Her fair face and delicate nose were framed by a woman who was gently coaxing her child with the utmost patience.
"My mother is very beautiful, but you're not allowed to make a move on her!" Jiang Mingxu warned seriously. "Let me tell you, if you dare to make a move on my mother, I'll have Old Man Zheng and the others come and beat you up until your parents don't recognize you!"
Jiang Yong'an looked at the little boy with the "fierce and menacing" look and couldn't help but laugh. "Are you Mingxu?"
"It's you, young master..."
"Xu'er." Jiang Mingzhu quickly grabbed her younger brother's arm. "Don't talk nonsense. It will make outsiders think we have no manners."
Jiang Yong'an frowned upon hearing this.
Is he an outsider?
