Nan Yuanman covered her handbag with her hand and took a step back warily: "What are you doing?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to see." Ge Peiyao stubbornly grabbed Nan Yuanman's skirt and repeated, "Let me see if you're deliberately trying to fool me with a fake."
Five years ago, when Bai Wenying left, she was as strong as an ox and even beat up Yao Yao. How could she have died five years later?
With tears welling in her eyes and a pale smile tugging at the corners of her lips, Ge Peiyao said, "Tell Grandma that the memorial tablet is fake, right?"
Even now, Ge Peiyao still thinks that Nan Yuanman was being mischievous and used a fake one to scare her.
She wanted to take another look, to confirm it again...
How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly die five years later?
Ge Peiyao didn't look well; she seemed to have suffered a great blow, her expression was somewhat dazed, and she looked... a little pitiful.
Nan Yuanman pursed her lips slightly, looked at Ge Peiyao for a few seconds, and then carefully took out Bai Wenyin's memorial tablet from her handbag. She seriously refuted her, "I didn't deliberately use a fake memorial tablet to fool you. This is my mother's memorial tablet. Grandpa made it for her by hand."
The memorial tablet was made of pine wood, and it still emitted a faint pine fragrance when it was taken out. Several large characters were engraved on it: "The Tablet of the Loving Mother Bai Wenyin".
Perhaps because Grandpa Nan didn't want Nan Yuanman to forget what his mother looked like, he also pasted a blue-background ID photo of Bai Wenying in the very center of the memorial tablet.
The woman in the ID photo has her hair in a side ponytail and is smiling gently at the camera.
When Ge Peiyao saw the blue-background ID photo, she was struck dumb, her head buzzing, and she stood there in a daze.
She opened her mouth and then closed it again, reaching out to touch the photo on the memorial tablet, but her trembling fingertips pulled back abruptly just before touching it.
"It's fake...it must be fake...no, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Ge Peiyao laughed, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as she murmured to herself, "I don't believe it!"
As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and snatched the memorial tablet from Nan Yuanman's hand, then slammed it to the ground.
Nanmanyuan: "!!!"
She instinctively lunged towards the spot where the memorial tablet had fallen, trying to shield it with her body. However, Feng Yuli was faster than her, leaping over and catching the tablet, rolling on the ground to dissipate his momentum.
"Big brother!" Nan Yuanman rushed over in a panic: "Are you alright?"
Feng Yuli sat on the ground and gave Nan Yuanman a reassuring smile: "It's alright."
He carefully handed her the memorial tablet, saying, "Don't worry, it's intact. It wasn't damaged."
Fortunately, he often traveled to battlefields when he went abroad; otherwise, his physical reflexes wouldn't have been so fast.
Jiang Lixuan was also startled. Seeing that the memorial tablet was intact, he completely lost control and angrily roared at Ge Peiyao, "Mom! Are you crazy?! This is Ayin's memorial tablet!! Why did you smash Ayin's memorial tablet?!"
Ge Peiyao retorted emotionally, "No! Bai Wenying isn't dead! She's alive! Alive!"
"It's just a memorial tablet! It doesn't prove she's dead! What's the point of keeping such an unlucky thing?!"
Ge Peiyao trembled all over, and she glared fiercely at Nan Yuanman: "You are the child she carried for ten months and gave birth to! How could you curse her like that!"
Feng Langqing's face darkened. He suppressed the urge to hit her and cursed under his breath, "Crazy woman, get this straight, this has nothing to do with Yuanman! She's already dead! She was gone when she gave birth to Yuanman!"
The Feng family's information network was much larger than the Jiang family's. When Feng Yuli discovered that Nan Yuanman was very likely Feng Congqian's biological daughter, he investigated everything that had happened to her since birth.
He knew then that Bai Wenying was truly dead.
"You didn't care about her when she was alive, but now that she's dead, who are you pretending to be so heartbroken for?" Feng Langqing said sarcastically.
"I...I..." Ge Peiyao's lips trembled, and she couldn't say a word for a long time. Her eyes were red and tears were falling uncontrollably. Her heart felt like it had been ripped open, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
Jiang Tianzong and the others were also startled. With a gloomy face, he shouted angrily, "Peiyao, that's enough! Stop going crazy!"
Feng Yuli picked up the frightened Nan Yuanman and gave Ge Peiyao a cold look: "Mr. Jiang, the Feng family will remember what happened today."
After saying that, he carried Nan Yuanman away and strode away. Feng Langqing snorted coldly and followed behind him with Meng Qinian.
Ge Peiyao's breathing quickened. She turned to look at Jiang Tianzong through teary eyes, gritting her teeth as she said, "I'm crazy? Jiang Tianzong! It's our daughter who died! It's our daughter!"
"How could you... how could you not react at all!"
Yes, she did dislike Bai Wenying, but she didn't want her to die.
No matter what, Bai Wenying was the child she carried for ten months and gave birth to. No matter how much she hated her or disliked her, she still wanted her to live a good life.
Jiang Tianzong said impatiently, "What are you pretending for now? Didn't you kick her out of the house five years ago? When you kicked her out, why didn't you say she was your daughter?"
"Now that the person is dead, what's the point of saying anything more?"
Ge Peiyao's pupils dilated slightly, her face blank. She knew Jiang Tianzong was cold-hearted, but she never expected him to be so ruthless about his daughter's death.
She swayed precariously, clutching her chest as she fell backward. Jiang Yunjing quickly caught her, calling out, "Mom!"
Jiang Tianzong frowned, coldly tossed out a sentence: "Send her to the hospital, don't let her go crazy here," and then left the room.
Nan Yuanman can no longer be included in the Jiang family genealogy. If she can't be included, she's not a member of the Jiang family, and he won't be able to share in her good fortune...
No, he needs to ask the master what to do next.

On the other side.
When Jiang Xinxin discovered that the USB drive had been misplaced, she was so frightened that she hid. She sat in the hotel lobby for a while and only felt a little relieved when she realized that her mother hadn't called to scold her.
She considered the time carefully, and when she felt it was about right, she was about to go back to find her mother and uncle when she saw Feng Yuli carrying Nan Yuanman and striding out.
Jiang Xinxin instinctively hid behind the money tree in the lobby and peeked out.
Feng Yuli and Feng Langqing were focused on Nan Yuanman and didn't notice Jiang Xinxin hiding behind the money tree.
Jiang Xinxin watched them leave, muttering in confusion, "Strange, who are they? Why did they take Nan Yuanman away?"
Could it be... that her grandparents couldn't stand Nan Yuanman and gave her away to someone else to raise?!
Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but feel happy at the thought that Nan Yuanman wouldn't be stealing the attention of her uncle and grandparents in the future.
She ran excitedly to find Jiang Yueyao: "Mommy, Mommy, guess what I just saw—!"
"Smack!"
Before Jiang Xinxin could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face, which turned to the side and quickly became red and swollen.
Jiang Xinxin's cheeks burned and hurt, and she looked at Jiang Yueyao with a dazed and frightened expression: "Mom..."
Jiang Yueyao clenched her fists, her eyes red, and her face contorted with rage as she demanded, "Where's the USB drive I told you to put in? Why did it turn into that audio file?!"
She screamed uncontrollably, "Do you know how awful you've been?! You've ruined my life!"
Jiang Xinxin shuddered and burst into tears, screaming, "It wasn't me! It wasn't Nan Yuanman! It was Nan Yuanman who did it!"
