Chapter 111: Anger
"Grandma, are you sure you want to do this?"
Jiang Qingning asked, "Is what grandma said true? She said she wanted to kick us three sisters out of the Jiang family tree?"
Old Madam Jiang raised her voice, "Of course. You are unfilial when you talk back to me, and unkind when you bully Ruyi. How can you, with such bad character, continue to be descendants of the Jiang family?"
"Grandmother, please don't regret it. If you leave Ning Pavilion, please go back and really cross out your name from the family tree. Then you won't have any regrets."
Jiang Qingning chuckled: "Grandma, have you thought it through?"
"I've already thought it through. You, on the other hand, will have absolutely no room for regrets!"
A hint of ruthlessness and satisfaction flashed in her cloudy eyes, as if she had finally removed this thorn in her eyes and flesh.
The people around were suddenly in an uproar, their expressions were full of disbelief, and the sound of whispers was noisy.
"Is this old lady crazy? She actually kicked the eldest daughter, who was so loyal to the country, out of the family tree?"
"That's right. Everyone thinks that General Jiang was targeted and demoted and exiled to such a distant place because he refused to be associated with those corrupt officials."
"That's right! What's the difference between her actions today and those of the executioners in the past?"
"The world is going downhill, the world is going downhill!"
"These current Jiang family members also have Earl Anping, no wonder they can marry and become a family!"
When Jiang Ruyi heard the serious decision to expel her from the family tree, she was finally satisfied.
This is undoubtedly the ultimate and most severe punishment for Jiang Qingning. It is enough to make any child from a noble family feel like he is struck by lightning, and kneel down in fear and beg for mercy.
A proud smile appeared on Jiang Ruyi's face again.
She raised her chin slightly and looked at Jiang Qingning provocatively, "Look, Jiang Qingning, you are an abandoned woman abandoned by your family after all. No one will care about you, and no one will love you."
"And I, Jiang Ruyi, am the ultimate winner. My father will soon be the legitimate and unique head of the Jiang family. Everything in the Jiang family will belong to us."
"Well, so what?" Jiang Qingning asked calmly.
It was beyond the expectations of Old Lady Jiang, Jiang Ruyi, and all the spectators present.
Jiang Ruyi was stunned: "What's your attitude?" She couldn't help but look over.
However, Jiang Qingning's face did not show any panic, fear, anger or sadness, not even a ripple.
She just stood there quietly, her posture as straight as a green bamboo standing proudly in the cold wind.
The sunlight outlined her beautiful profile, and her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes, covering the deepest emotions in her eyes.
There was a dangerous glint in Mrs. Jiang's eyes. "Jiang Qingning, are you still not satisfied? Not only you, but also your eldest wife, don't even think about continuing to be part of our Jiang family!"
"Oh"
The smile on Jiang Qingning's lips deepened a little, and her eyes fell on Old Mrs. Jiang, who was surprised and vaguely uneasy because of her smile.
Her voice was not loud, even calm, and it struck everyone's heartstrings.
"Qingning, please ask grandma."
Jiang Qingning spoke, his tone eerily calm. "You said you wanted to clean up the family? But you're going to take out my father, your eldest son, who earned great military merit for the Jiang family, yet you disliked him, demoted him to the malaria-ridden land of Lingnan, where he spent eight years with his life uncertain, and you never once asked a question?"
"And my brother, the grandson of the Jiang family who fought bloody battles at the border to defend our country,
I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, who was bullied and schemed against by the second and third wives in the old Jiang family mansion, married into the Anping Earl's mansion for eight years and suffered indifference, and finally divorced. "
"You want to expel Qingxi, the sister who suffered for eight years in Qingbianjiang, and Yuerou, the unfortunate one who was abandoned by the third branch, from the Jiang family tree?"
Every time she mentioned a name or talked about a past event, Mrs. Jiang's expression became uglier.
These words made Xun Chen's heart tremble. He couldn't help but think of what he had done, the past that the Jiang family didn't know about, and the case that was hastily settled.
If Jiang Qingning knew... would he want to kill him?
Even if she didn't do anything, Qin Xiu would probably do it after he knew about it, right?
"you……"
The smug look on Jiang Ruyi's face froze, and Old Lady Jiang's grip on her cane tightened.
The surrounding air condenses.
"I understand what you mean, Grandma. You are here to replace my deceased grandfather and all the people in our eldest family."
Jiang Qingning's tone was flat, but every word was like a hammer, "We'll all be expelled from the Jiang family tree?"
She tilted her head slightly, her movement filled with an almost innocent suspicion.
In those autumn-water-like eyes, there flashed a cold light that could see through all disguises.
The sarcasm on Jiang Qingning's lips poured out like substance, almost burning Old Lady Jiang's eyes.
"OK."
These two words fell lightly, but it was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake.
Old Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Ruyi both widened their eyes, almost thinking they had heard wrongly.
It shouldn't be like this. What about Jiang Qingning's crying, her trying to keep him and kneeling down to beg for mercy?
Then, the curve of Jiang Qingning's lips deepened, and that smile was filled with undisguised contempt:
"Thank you so much for your kindness, Grandma. I have peace and tranquility, which I have been longing for."
"boom!"
These four words, like thunder, exploded in front of Ning Pavilion's door.
"What did you say?!"
Old Mrs. Jiang was struck by lightning. Her whole body shook violently and she only managed to avoid falling down thanks to the support of her crutches.
Her fingers trembled as she pointed at Jiang Qingning, the wrinkles on her face twisted together, and her cloudy old eyes were full of disbelief.
"Evil creature! Evil creature! You... you actually, you dare..."
"elder sister!"
Jiang Qingxi was stunned for a moment, then burst into a clear and loud laugh, full of joy and relief. "Sister, you're right. This is exactly what we wanted."
"With a Jiang family like this and a family tree like this, it would be too dirty for us to touch. Sister, just agree with confidence."
"If Father and Mother knew about all the injustices Sister has endured over the years, they would probably do this much sooner than you and I did. They wouldn't have the time to stir up trouble!"
She took a step forward, held Jiang Qingning's arm tightly, and looked at Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Ruyi provocatively.
Old Madam Jiang was shocked and shouted angrily, "How dare you! You are indeed the good daughter raised by your mother. You are truly her good daughter. I always said that there is not a single good person in the Xiao family. They are all evil!"
Jiang Qingxi's face darkened, and it looked like he was really angered.
Her voice was cold, with a chilling chill: "Old hag, take your precious granddaughter and get out of here quickly. From now on, our eldest branch will sever all ties with your second and third branches. We sisters will not serve the Jiang family's dirty spirit."
"Get out of here before I lose my temper, or no one will be able to leave in one piece!"
