Upon seeing the government officials, Liu Jiaojiao immediately felt more confident.
"My lord, you must do justice for this woman!"
This brat snatched the young woman's child in broad daylight and won't return it. Your Honor must send him to the authorities for investigation and bring justice to the young woman."
The constables followed Liu Jiaojiao's gaze and saw Wang Yansheng holding the child in his arms, teasing him without the slightest hint of guilt or evasion.
He held the baby in his arms as if it were his younger sibling.
Wang Yansheng's silence does not mean that those watching the commotion remain silent.
Then someone started chattering and recounting what they had just seen.
Wang Yansheng naturally handed the child to one of the constables.
“Brother Cha, I was just passing by when I saw a child fall to the ground. Of course, I wouldn’t stand by and watch him die.”
As for the wailing aunt on the ground, the boy didn't believe she was the child's biological mother.
My son has many brothers and sisters. Having witnessed how his mother and relatives treat their children, I know that no mother would ever disregard her child's safety.
The boy has practiced martial arts since childhood and can sense the force of blows.
That person just now clearly intended to knock the boy away; I suspect she might have been trying to crush the infant to death.
Upon hearing Wang Yansheng's slander, Liu Jiaojiao immediately exploded and stopped wailing on the ground.
"You little brat..."
A sharp shout rang out, "Liu Jiaojiao, how dare you!"
The one who called for a halt was none other than Hong Xiangjun.
She was helped down from the carriage by her maid and walked gracefully forward.
Standing in front of Wang Yansheng, he asked, "Are you injured?"
Wang Yansheng shook his head, "Auntie, don't worry, your nephew isn't that weak."
Hong Xiangjun carefully examined him from head to toe before she felt relieved.
He waved to gather all the children together, counted them to make sure none were missing, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Liu Jiaojiao, not just anyone is someone you can associate with."
My nephew saved this child, so he's your benefactor. Now you repay kindness with enmity—what are you trying to do?
When Liu Jiaojiao saw that the person who came was Hong Xiangjun, she was also taken aback. Instantly, her expression changed, and she smoothed her hair.
"Who do we have here? It's Miss Hong, who was jilted at the altar. It's been a long time. Why are you dressed like a married woman?"
"Who's the unlucky guy who married you? Aren't they afraid of bringing bad luck upon themselves?"
Since getting engaged to Zhao Qingyang, Hong Xiangjun has become much more cheerful, and is even grateful that she was able to discover Xue Gan's bad character before the marriage.
Now, she feels no emotion whatsoever when facing her ex-fiancé's mistress.
"How dare you, a mistress, speak ill of me in front of me?"
Hong Xiangjun's words sealed Liu Jiaojiao's fate.
These days, it's common for men to have multiple wives and concubines, but mistresses are considered shameful and even worse than concubines.
The moment Hong Xiangjun peeled off her face, Liu Jiaojiao felt like strangling Hong Xiangjun.
After glancing at the group of women, children, and powerful guards behind Hong Xiangjun, she abandoned her intention to attack.
Hong Xiangjun glanced at Liu Jiaojiao as if she were an ant, then turned her gaze to her ex-fiancé.
"Young Master Xue, have you had enough of the excitement?"
"How heartless! They don't care about right or wrong. This Liu woman bore you a child; don't let her continue to embarrass yourself."
When Xue Gan saw his radiant former fiancée again, he felt incredibly choked up.
In his heart, Hong Xiangjun should be his woman, but she broke off the engagement because he kept a mistress, which he considered unfaithful and deserving of being drowned in a pig cage.
How can she get married and live a good life? She's clearly a slut.
Therefore, Xue Gan became angry when faced with Hong Xiangjun's disdainful gaze.
"Hmph, Miss Hong, you need not concern yourself with my family affairs. What right does a barren hen have to swagger in front of me?"
This statement is quite revealing. It not only explicitly states the relationship between the two but also implies to everyone that he had an affair because Hong Xiangjun was infertile.
