Every time she took a step forward, Old Lady Sun took a step back, until she had nowhere to retreat and had to stand against the stone lion. Old Lady Sun raised her voice, sounding stern but weak.
"You...what are you going to do! Your Jiang family killed someone, and you still want to act so arrogantly in the streets?"
"Heh." Jiang Ying sneered, "Are you so sure that it was really my third brother who killed Sun Bo?"
"Who else could it be but him! So many people saw it. Jiang Yuanlang beat my Sun family's eldest son to death. What a lawless man! Poor grandson of mine. Woo woo woo, he's gone at such a young age..."
"Everyone, come and see. The Jiang family bullies others by taking advantage of their power, and the younger generation they raised are even more arrogant and domineering, taking human lives lightly. They are such a family, yet they are still Dukes and call themselves benevolent doctors!
"In my opinion, she is not worthy of the plaque bestowed by the emperor. Everyone, please open your eyes and don't be fooled by such a vicious and murderous person!"
The one who supported Old Madam Sun and allowed her to curse as much as she wanted 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 her, she wiped the corners of her eyes weakly and immediately continued, "That's right, wow wow wow, no matter how big my brother's mistakes are, they don't deserve death. Besides, he just felt resentful when he saw that the Jiang family had broken off the engagement with me, his sister, and complained a few words to his friends at the dinner table, didn't he?
"Who would have thought that Jiang Yuanlang 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 upset that she fainted seven or eight times. But because there was no one in charge of the family, she forced herself to pull herself together and go to the Jiang family to ask for an explanation.
"Our Sun family has truly reached a point of devastation! Imagine if something like this happened to you, wouldn't it be a bolt from the blue? Wouldn't you be unable to comprehend it?"
Not to mention, Sun Ruoyan is also a good opera singer. With her mournful crying voice and tragic golden beans dropping, coupled with a few people from the Sun family who deliberately instigated the incident, immediately many onlookers 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 for some reason, the Jiang family suddenly turned around and wanted to marry into the Lu family. Isn't this ruining the reputation of that good girl? It's understandable that Young Master Sun is full of complaints about this!"
"Oh, that's right! I happened to be at Tianxiang Tower on the day of the accident, and I saw with my own eyes that Third Young Master Jiang rushed in and beat people to death without saying a word! Although it was indeed Young Master Sun who was mean-spirited first, it really feels a bit unfair that he died like this."
Everyone was talking at once, ignoring the fact that the sun was about to set and it was time to go home. It was a rare opportunity to be part of the lively atmosphere among the top officials, and their gossipy hearts were burning.
Jiang Ying's face was colder than ever. He thought to himself that he was too kind before and let go of Sun Ruoyan, a traitor who took advantage of his misfortune. But she turned around and bit back, deliberately pushing the Jiang family into the forefront.
As he stared at her with sharp eyes while thinking of a countermeasure, Jiang Yuanchen stepped forward and leaned close to her ear, "Sister, Second Brother has something to tell you..."
Outsiders had no idea what the brother and sister were babble about, but Jiang Ying's eyes clearly lit up. "Really? Second brother, can you do that?"
Jiang Yuanchen's eyes were firm. "Sister, please hold on for a while. I'll bring some people over and support you soon."
"No problem." Seeing such a good thing that could ruin Sun Ruoyan's reputation, Jiang Ying instantly felt full of vitality in every cell. He unconsciously rolled up his sleeves and said, "Second brother, just go ahead. The Sun family's fighting power is not even my match!"
After saying this, Jiang Yuanchen stepped aside and quickly disappeared.
Jiang Ying, however, stood on the steps at the gate with an even more heroic and confident look, and even ordered someone to bring a chair over.
"Okay, you guys want to fight it out, right? Then no one should leave today, let's fight it out together!"
"Ah... my poor grandson... He was seventeen years old, still unmarried and childless, 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 their descendants would be extinct.
But Jiang Ying knew that Sun Bo had several half-brothers who had been bullied by him since childhood and dared not speak out their anger.
Now that Sun Bo is dead, it has given these people an opportunity...
"Oh, really?" 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, Old Lady Sun was stunned. She didn't understand why Jiang Ying was still praising her grandson. What was he up to?
Then he thought, who cares? The person is dead. It's better to say he's good than to say he's bad, right? So he stomped his crutch and said, "Of course, my grandson is definitely a rare good boy in the world, and you Jiang family are so cruel and cruel that you beat my good grandson to death!
"I don't care. Killing someone means paying with your life. It's only natural. You Jiang family, don't even think about getting away with this!"
Jiang Ying said, "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 'protecting'? The prefect?"
"Also, 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 act recklessly?
"You came to our doorstep crying, making a scene, and even threatening to hang yourself. You're so unreasonable and unforgiving. 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 Yuanlang go easily?"
