“Evidence? What evidence? Isn’t that snake evidence? Isn’t this little whore evidence? How could we, who haven’t 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. Doesn’t that explain the problem? I haven’t even done anything yet, and they’re already here to help you argue. Doesn’t that explain the problem?” Jing Yan was aggressive.
The second madam was so angry that her face turned pale. “Jing Yan, don’t make things up. It was your mother’s idea to come and see the old master and the old madam. What does it have to do with me? I’m just here to support your family. You don’t thank me, but you’re blaming it on me! Since that’s the case, the second branch will withdraw from the rest of the matter. We won’t care about it anymore!”
Jing Yan’s expression was a little ugly. “Second aunt, are you getting crazy? It was all of our intention to come to see grandfather! How was it my mother’s idea? Or you going to exclude yourself from the responsibility?”
The second madam sneered. “Why shouldn’t we? Back then, Jing Ning had made a loss on public funds. In the end, the first branch didn’t even make up for the loss, but every branch had to bear the burden together. Since we’re digging up old debts, I don’t mind settling scores either.”
“You…” Jing Yan’s face turned green.
The people from the fourth and fifth branches hurriedly stood up to persuade him, but Gu Yan stepped back.
The fourth branch’s wife frowned. “This snake, it really came in a strange way. Could it be that someone is trying to frame us?”
The second madam was furious. She turned around and said to Xiao Zhi, “Do you even need to say that? The eldest miss also said that we don’t have such an evil thing. It goes without saying who brought it here!”
Xiao Zhi was stunned and immediately retorted, “Are 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?”
The second madam sneered, “There’s no such thing as an internal or external matter. Back then, you were clearly the one who used our old madam’s 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 didn’t expect that you were actually a black-hearted person. Our Old Madam doesn’t acknowledge you at all! I’ve been tricked! Now that I’ve been wronged by our young miss, are you still not willing to admit that this matter has something to do with you?”
Xiao Zhi’s face immediately turned red. “What do you mean? How did I know that you were here? You should at least have some evidence to frame someone else, right? I’m Old Lady Jing’s biological sister. Why should I fawn over You? You’re too full of yourself!”
Jing Yan didn’t expect that the two of them would exchange insults. She couldn’t help but be stunned, and then she looked like she was watching a good show.
The second madam immediately turned around and said, “Did everyone see that? We’re not close to each other, to begin with. Don’t force us to be together!”
Jing Yan said lazily, “Who knows if you guys are just acting? Seventh Uncle suspects us. Who knows if you’re just acting in front of us to prove your innocence? Hmph! We can’t get our hands on a poisonous snake anyway!”
The spearhead was pointed at Xiao Zhi and the others.
Angel glared at Jing Yan, “Aren’t you trying to pin this crime on us?” She said angrily. “In my opinion, this is obviously a case of a thief calling for a thief. My cousin Jing Tian locked you all up here because you’re the suspects. He’s just using us to test you out. I didn’t expect you to reveal yourself so easily!”
