âEvidence? What evidence? Isnât that snake evidence? Isnât this little whore evidence? How could we, who havenât seen the world, have such a thing as that snake? Only those who came from afar would understand these crooked things. Second aunt has such a good relationship with them. Doesnât that explain the problem? I havenât even done anything yet, and theyâre already here to help you argue. Doesnât that explain the problem?â Jing Yan was aggressive.
The second madam was so angry that her face turned pale. âJing Yan, donât make things up. It was your motherâs idea to come and see the old master and the old madam. What does it have to do with me? Iâm just here to support your family. You donât thank me, but youâre blaming it on me! Since thatâs the case, the second branch will withdraw from the rest of the matter. We wonât care about it anymore!â
Jing Yanâs expression was a little ugly. âSecond aunt, are you getting crazy? It was all of our intention to come to see grandfather! How was it my motherâs idea? Or you going to exclude yourself from the responsibility?â
The second madam sneered. âWhy shouldnât we? Back then, Jing Ning had made a loss on public funds. In the end, the first branch didnât even make up for the loss, but every branch had to bear the burden together. Since weâre digging up old debts, I donât mind settling scores either.â
âYouâ¦â Jing Yanâs face turned green.
The people from the fourth and fifth branches hurriedly stood up to persuade him, but Gu Yan stepped back.
The fourth branchâs wife frowned. âThis snake, it really came in a strange way. Could it be that someone is trying to frame us?â
The second madam was furious. She turned around and said to Xiao Zhi, âDo you even need to say that? The eldest miss also said that we donât have such an evil thing. It goes without saying who brought it here!â
Xiao Zhi was stunned and immediately retorted, âAre you crazy? What does it have to do with us? This is an internal matter of your Jing family. What does it have to do with us?â
The second madam sneered, âThereâs no such thing as an internal or external matter. Back then, you were clearly the one who used our old madamâs name to express goodwill. I was also blinded. I thought that by using you, I could build a good relationship with the old madam and also contribute to our few branches. I didnât expect that you were actually a black-hearted person. Our Old Madam doesnât acknowledge you at all! Iâve been tricked! Now that Iâve been wronged by our young miss, are you still not willing to admit that this matter has something to do with you?â
Xiao Zhiâs face immediately turned red. âWhat do you mean? How did I know that you were here? You should at least have some evidence to frame someone else, right? Iâm Old Lady Jingâs biological sister. Why should I fawn over You? Youâre too full of yourself!â
Jing Yan didnât expect that the two of them would exchange insults. She couldnât help but be stunned, and then she looked like she was watching a good show.
The second madam immediately turned around and said, âDid everyone see that? Weâre not close to each other, to begin with. Donât force us to be together!â
Jing Yan said lazily, âWho knows if you guys are just acting? Seventh Uncle suspects us. Who knows if youâre just acting in front of us to prove your innocence? Hmph! We canât get our hands on a poisonous snake anyway!â
The spearhead was pointed at Xiao Zhi and the others.
Angel glared at Jing Yan, âArenât you trying to pin this crime on us?â She said angrily. âIn my opinion, this is obviously a case of a thief calling for a thief. My cousin Jing Tian locked you all up here because youâre the suspects. Heâs just using us to test you out. I didnât expect you to reveal yourself so easily!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
