Chapter 1129 The Eldest Daughter Who Was Rejected in the Engagement 25
“Oh! Aunt Tong, why are you doing this?” Jiang Chunxi sighed. “Heng’er’s disappearance has nothing to do with me. How can you take your anger out on me and force me to the point of wanting to kill myself to pay for Heng’er’s death?”
"However, on the other hand, it's understandable that Aunt Tong would take her anger out on my sister. If my sister hadn't been engaged to An Chongli, how could An Chongli have harbored ill intentions towards Heng-ge'er and even deliberately arranged for Heng-ge'er to get lost right under my sister's nose?"
"Poison, truly, no man is without poison! Nothing beats killing someone by destroying their spirit, no wonder it's driving Aunt Tong crazy."
"Shut up!" Aunt Tong glared at Jiang Chunxi with a ferocious expression. "Stop stirring up trouble. Do you think I don't know how happy you are that Heng-ge'er met with misfortune?"
Then Aunt Tong released her daughter's hand and stood up: "I really regret it! If I had known that An Chongli was a beast, I shouldn't have let Chunyun snatch An Chongli away from you."
"Haha! Retribution, retribution indeed!" Aunt Tong's eyes gleamed with bloodlust. "But since my son is gone, someone from the Jiang family must be buried with him. Jiang Chunyun, you two siblings just wait and see. My son is dead, so you two bastards won't get away with this either..."
"Snapped!"
Madam Jiang rushed forward and slapped Aunt Tong. At that moment, Madam Jiang's mother strode in from outside: "Mother, why did you hit her? You know Aunt Tong's current situation, why can't you be more tolerant of her? Why do you have to hold a grudge against her?"
"Little sister, how are you? Did Mother hurt you?" Jiang's mother reached out to stroke Aunt Tong's red face with concern and heartache, but Aunt Tong pushed her away forcefully.
"You idiot, stop pretending with me. What's wrong? The master ordered you not to go to the front yard, so you're trying to fawn over me again," Aunt Tong looked at Madam Jiang with utter disgust. "Mrs. Yan, you are truly disgusting."
Aunt Tong was naturally aware of what Yan had done during this period, as well as her foolish thoughts.
She's so stupid it's unbelievable. She doesn't even know what she is, daring to dream of replacing her in the master's heart.
Jiang's mother looked embarrassed: "Sister, what are you saying? I was just concerned about you. It's one thing if you don't appreciate my good intentions, but how could you say such hurtful things?"
"Yan, why don't you just hang yourself!" It was Old Madam Jiang's voice. "A fool like you is only a disgrace to the world. If you have any sense of shame, then hurry up and die so you can be reborn in the afterlife. Don't drag Chunxi and her brother down with you."
"I just don't understand. Aunt Tong has threatened to have your two children die with her son, but you're actually feeling sorry for her."
"You've gone beyond mere stupidity; you've become utterly inhuman and vicious. Even animals protect their offspring, right? But you, instead of caring at the threat of having your children killed, you turn around and..."
Madam Jiang looked like she couldn't continue, after all, there was no point in talking to a fool like Yan.
“Mother, Aunt Tong was just saying that out of anger, why take it so seriously?” Mother Jiang frowned and said, “You’re not exactly young anymore, can’t you be a little more understanding of Aunt Tong?”
"After all, the loss of Heng-ge'er was a huge blow to Aunt Tong, and now that Chun-yun is also in trouble, it's like adding insult to injury for Aunt Tong!"
“They are all your own grandsons and granddaughters. No matter how much you favor one over the other, you can’t be this biased. Chunyun is lying in bed, her life hanging in the balance, but you, as her grandmother, are still picking on Aunt Tong. Aren’t you afraid that by doing this, Chunyun will hate you as her grandmother?”
"Heh! You seem quite concerned about Jiang Chunyun," Jiang Chunxi sneered. "Then why haven't you gone to check on your precious daughter since you entered the house? It seems that your love for your stepmother's daughter is just empty talk."
“What do you mean by ‘illegitimate daughter’?” Madam Jiang said displeasedly. “Chunyun is registered under my name, so she is also a legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. You child, what kind of time is this? Why can’t you show some decency towards your own sister?”
After saying this, Jiang's mother hurriedly went to check on Jiang Chunyun lying on the bed, but was pushed away by Aunt Tong: "Stay away from my daughter. You shameless woman, Yan, from today onwards, you are not allowed to pretend to love my daughter and get close to her."
"Maybe you're the one who brought misfortune upon my son. It's because you, you fool, often get close to my son that you brought misfortune upon him."
"Ah! Yan, you'll pay for my son's life!" Aunt Tong went mad and grabbed Yan's neck.
Faced with this situation, Madam Jiang did not immediately have someone pull Aunt Tong away. Instead, she waited until Madam Jiang's eyes rolled back in her head before having someone pull Aunt Tong away.
"Cough cough!" After Aunt Tong released her neck, Jiang's mother coughed incessantly, tears streaming down her face. Then, she looked at Aunt Tong with a hurt expression and said, "Sister, how could you treat me like this? Does our sisterly friendship of more than ten years make you want to strangle me to death?"
"Forget it, why should I hold a grudge against you?" Then, Jiang's mother said with a magnanimous expression, "You're just deeply affected, that's why..."
"Guards! Drag Yan out of here!" Old Madam Jiang really didn't want to listen anymore, otherwise she was afraid she would also want to strangle Yan.
Of course, Madam Jiang didn't want to leave, but the old woman beside her didn't care about her resistance and simply dragged her out.
At the same time, the doctor that Granny Qian had found arrived, and Aunt Tong, who had been acting crazy, immediately calmed herself down when she saw the doctor come in.
Jiang Chunyun was naturally fine. The doctor bandaged the wound on Jiang Chunyun's forehead, wrote a prescription, and then left with the consultation fee.
After the doctor left, Madam Jiang and her granddaughter Jiang Chunxi also left. After all, the doctor had already said that Jiang Chunyun was fine, so the old lady had nothing to worry about.
When Mr. Jiang returned home in the evening, he was told that the old lady wanted to see him.
Of course, the servants in the front courtyard had already informed him about what happened in the mansion today.
In the past, Mr. Jiang would definitely have gone to Aunt Tong's place and would have completely ignored Old Madam Jiang's request to see him. But now...
These past few days, the pleasures of being away from home have made Mr. Jiang increasingly reluctant to face Aunt Tong. He's already exhausted enough; he simply doesn't have the energy to deal with Aunt Tong's madness any further.
