Chapter 8: The Childless Middle-Aged Man



Not far away, a man stood there with a heavy expression, listening to the two women's conversation, and he had a bad feeling.

"What? Weren't you the best at pretending before? Don't worry! You don't need to pretend anymore, because from now on, I'll really do it and make everything you want a reality."

Although Jiang Jingyue spoke in a calm and indifferent tone, it sent chills down Jiang Shuyue's spine and filled her with fear.

"Jiang Jingyue, how dare you? If you treat me like this, your silly brothers will definitely be even angrier and won't want you anymore."

Jiang Shuyue used to love using this phrase to provoke her, and Jiang Jingyue would get angry every time she heard it.

She didn't believe her brothers would abandon her, so she argued with Jiang Shuyue every time.

As for Jiang Shuyue, it seemed as if she had planned it all out. Every time someone came, she would fall to the ground precisely, looking weak and frail, with tears streaming down her face.

Everyone who sees this instinctively believes the weaker party, so every time, it's Jiang Jingyue who gets blamed.

She did nothing wrong, yet she was always the one who got punished.

At first she tried to explain, but later she found that no one was willing to believe her.

Even her own brothers didn't believe her.

"Ha! Brother, what is a brother? From today onwards, I, Jiang Jingyue, have no brother, nor do I need a brother."

After saying this, Jiang Jingyue turned and left.

The figure under the big tree, for some reason, felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard those words, as if he were about to lose something important.

"Zhang De, go and investigate carefully what happened to the young lady over the years. Is there any other hidden story behind it?"

Zhang De was a servant of Jiang Minghan, the eldest son of the Jiang family. When he heard his young master say this, he immediately nodded with a serious expression.

"Young Master, don't worry! I'll investigate this matter immediately."

Jiang Minghan glanced at the person kicking the servant girl in anger not far away, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes.

The main problem was that the younger sister in front of him was nothing like the gentle and understanding sister he remembered. This sister was practically a demon.

"Second Miss, Second Miss, please don't hit me anymore. I was wrong. Eldest Miss attacked suddenly, and we didn't even have time to react. Please, Second Miss, please don't hit me anymore."

No matter how much the servants below begged for mercy, Jiang Shuyue's feet never stopped moving.

Jiang Shuyue only stopped kicking the maid when she could no longer take it and fainted.

"Let's go find my brothers and show them what their dear sister has done to me."

Unbeknownst to Jiang Shuyue, someone was secretly witnessing her actions.

"Was it really us who were wrong?"

When Jiang Minghan thought of his younger sister's accusations from the past, his heart ached.

If this is true, then the person they have wronged the most is their own sister.

Jiang Minghan followed behind Jiang Shuyue, wondering where she was going.

When he saw Jiang Shuyue arrive at his third brother's courtyard, he understood somewhat.

"Third brother, you must avenge me! I only went to see her out of kindness, but she beat me up like this."

Jiang Minglang already harbored resentment because Jiang Jingyue had broken his hand last time. Now, seeing his most beloved sister beaten like this, a chilling look immediately appeared on his face.

"Let's go, let's settle the score with her. Isn't she very powerful? Let's bring a few more people with us, I don't believe she's that powerful."

Jiang Shuyue looked at her angry third brother and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

She knew that if she went to find her third brother, he would definitely help her get revenge, so when she was beaten by Jiang Jingyue, her first thought was to go to her third brother.

As expected, her third brother did not disappoint her.

Just as Jiang Minglang was angrily preparing to go find Jiang Jingyue with his men, Jiang Minghan suddenly appeared and blocked Jiang Minglang's way.

Upon seeing Jiang Minghan, Jiang Shuyue became immediately excited, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She moved very quickly, and in an instant, she was about to throw herself into Jiang Minghan's arms.

In the past, Jiang Minghan would definitely have let her have her way, but this time, for some reason, Jiang Minghan dodged the moment Jiang Shuyue pounced on her.

When Jiang Shuyue fell to the ground, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Even Jiang Minglang, who was standing next to him, was a little confused. He rushed over to Jiang Shuyue, helped her up, and then angrily yelled at Jiang Minghan.

"Big brother, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly dodge? Didn't you see that Shu'er is injured?"

Jiang Minghan looked coldly at Jiang Shuyue, and only when she saw Jiang Shuyue look away somewhat guiltily did she slowly speak.

“I saw everything you just did, and I heard everything you said clearly. I will verify everything. Don’t let me find out that this is true, otherwise, I can’t guarantee what might happen.”

Jiang Shuyue was stunned for a while, and when she saw Jiang Minghan about to leave, she immediately grabbed him.

"Brother, what I just said is not true. Believe me, I just wanted to provoke my sister into agreeing to marry the emperor. I didn't do anything else."

If Jiang Minghan hadn't seen her like that with her own eyes, she might have been deceived by her pitiful appearance again.

But now, he won't. He's determined to find the truth and see who's been lying all along.

Seeing the two of them talking in riddles, Jiang Minglang was a little confused.

He squeezed between the two of them and looked at them with some confusion.

"Big brother, little sister, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Jiang Minghan did not answer him, but instead spoke to Jiang Shuyue who was next to her.

"I'm telling you, don't let me know you're going to see her, or don't blame me for being ruthless towards you."

Although nothing has been found out yet, Jiang Ming had a premonition that this was the work of the seemingly weak woman in front of him.

After Jiang Minghan finished speaking, he walked away before they could react, not wanting to stay any longer. What he wanted to know most right now was the truth of the matter.

Seeing Jiang Minghan like this, Jiang Shuyue felt a little worried.
