However, the old man and the young man stared at the kneeling Xiangcao siblings and Sun Jian as if they had seen a ghost.
Sun Ruoyan took a step back, looking very hurt. "Vanilla, I've been so good to you, how could you slander me..."
Madam Sun snarled, "Sun Jian! You're so bold! Look at you! Instead of staying in the house, you actually dared to come out and talk nonsense, slandering your elder brother. The Sun family will definitely not tolerate someone like you. Just wait to be kicked out!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanchen put his hands behind his back, silently took two steps forward, stood next to Sun Jian, and put his arm around his shoulder encouragingly.
When I looked up, I saw the scholar's noble aura, which was completely different from that of Old Madam Sun.
"The Book of Rites: Nei Ze says that a bastard's son is a concubine's son. The Book of Rites: Nei Ze also says that legitimate and illegitimate sons must serve only the eldest son and his wife. There are indeed differences between legitimate and illegitimate sons, but it shouldn't be so severe that illegitimate sons are worse than livestock, right? If Madam Sun is old and her eyesight is poor, she could come forward and take a look. They're both grandsons. Just because Sun Jian was born to a concubine, does that mean he deserves to be tortured into this state by Sun Bo, the mistress's son, just because he was born to a concubine?"
It was rare for his second brother, who looked like a banished immortal, to personally join in the quarrel, so Jiang Ying naturally wanted to lend a hand. He put his hands on his hips and clicked his tongue twice, "Oh my, I really learned a lot!
"So, the Sun family doesn't treat illegitimate children as human beings, right? If illegitimate children are treated like this, what about the maids and servants in the mansion?
"Look, everyone, open your eyes and look at this little maid named Xiangcao, and the even more pitiful servant Xiangzhang, covered in wounds, and this blood letter... Oh my God, a man can be killed but not humiliated. He even didn't let go of his fiancée. Which man can endure such a great humiliation?
"Wouldn't it be a blessing for everyone if this scourge of the people died? They shamelessly framed my third brother and, without our Jiang family arresting him, brought a disgusting coffin to our door and started clamoring!
"I've seen shameless people before, but this is the first time I've seen anyone so shameless! Come on, everyone, let's judge for ourselves. Is our Jiang family at fault?"
The crowd was in an uproar, obviously confused by the reversal.
I thought, didn’t the third son of the Jiang family kill someone, and the Sun family came to seek justice?
Oh my goodness, now he has become the real grandson of the Sun family, and the Jiang family has bravely eliminated the evil!
Of course, judging by Xiang Zhang's testimony, there are still many doubts as to whether Mr. Jiang San really killed Sun Bo.
But some people couldn't help but scoff, "With so many people testifying, there's no smoke without fire. I do agree that Sun Bo is definitely not a good person. Otherwise, who would be willing to curse themselves like this if it weren't true that Brother Xiangzhang had his wife insulted and murdered?"
"Ah, that's right! Even if you give me a lot of money, I won't make up such a tragic story about myself. What if it accidentally comes true?"
"The young lady bullies the maidservants, the young master humiliates the servants, and the elders are always threatening to expel the innocent bastards from the family. This Sun family is truly rotten from the very root!"
"Who says it's not? Sun Bo didn't have a good reputation outside. He was a drunkard, a whoremonger, and a gambler. Even if he died, he would be ridding the capital of pests!"
These unbearable discussions irritated Old Madam Sun to the point of tears and rage, "Stop it! Stop it! You are so black-hearted! Our Sun family is a family of third-rank censors. It's not something you ordinary people can talk about casually!
"If you don't shut up, I'll take you all to the police!"
Madam Sun's words caused the whole audience to be silent for a moment, and then there was even more laughter and contempt.
"Tsk tsk, even now, you still refuse to admit your mistakes."
"Your underwear has fallen off, and you're still acting like a high-ranking official's wife. How ridiculous!"
"That old woman is blind, vicious, and cruel. She even wants to sow discord between us and the Duke Jiang Mansion and Dr. Jiang. She deserves death!"
"Go away! Carry your Sun family's disgusting coffin and get out of the territory of Duke Jiang's mansion."
"Yes, get out of here quickly. The farther the better. Don't embarrass yourself here."
All around, there were voices of disgust.
Old Madam Sun's body swayed and was about to fall. Sun Ruoyan was also a little unable to hold on, but she bit her lip. She couldn't retreat like this, otherwise she would lose to the Jiang family. How could she avenge Jiang Yuanyi's humiliation of her?
Moreover, she actually thought that if the Jiang family wanted to settle the matter privately, she could ask her father for mercy, as long as the Jiang family was willing to marry her.
"Everyone..." Sun Ruoyan had just opened her mouth to say something when the common people standing beside her, who shared the same hatred for the enemy, spat on her shoes.
"Bah! You're a whore and a virtuous woman at the same time. How shameless!"
"Haha, that's right, bah, bah, bah, I've been wanting to say this for a long time. A girl like this who's pretentious and flirtatious is obviously not a good person!"
"It was wise of Jiang Jia Dalang not to want her. What good could come of marrying a troublemaker like her?"
At this moment, suddenly, a group of officers and soldiers in blue and black uniform robes ran over.
Zheng Yao's powerful voice was extremely penetrating. "What are you doing? You're causing trouble in broad daylight, right under the emperor's feet?"
Coming with him was Jiang Yuanyi, who had successfully sent little Yan Zhi back to his father and turned his guns around.
Coincidentally, as soon as he went out, he met Lord Zheng Yao at the door of Feiyu's house.
Zheng Yao said that he had no right to interfere if the Sun family carried the coffin to the Jiang family's door to mourn.
After all, this is just a way for the victims to vent.
But if it turns into a gathering to cause trouble, it is a different concept.
When Zheng Yao was talking to him, Jiang Yuanyi had a strange illusion. The yamen runners brought by Zheng Yao were all standing at the fork in the road, holding court sticks and looking ferocious. They scared most of the timid people so that they could only walk towards the street where there were no yamen runners. And following this direction, wasn't it the Duke Jiang's Mansion?
