Chapter 1123 The Eldest Daughter Who Was Rejected in the Engagement 9
“Sister, I didn’t,” Mother Jiang said, covering her face where she had been slapped. She looked at Father Jiang with a pitiful expression. “Master, please believe me. I really didn’t. I have always treated the two children my sister gave birth to as my own.”
“I cherish Heng-ge’er like the apple of my eye, so how could I curse him? My sister has truly wronged me. Master, please believe me and don’t believe your words…”
"Shut up!" Mr. Jiang interrupted Mrs. Jiang's voice in a fit of rage. "What use are you, you idiot, besides causing trouble for others? Get out of here right now and stop getting in my way."
Jiang's mother felt very wronged, but faced with Jiang's father's outburst of anger, she dared not speak up for herself anymore and could only leave with tears in her eyes.
But she was really wronged! She didn't say anything, so why did Aunt Tong accuse her of cursing Heng-ge'er?
Just as Mrs. Jiang left, Old Madam Jiang arrived.
"An Chongli, is it really just an accident that my grandson went missing?" As soon as Madam Jiang entered, she immediately confronted An Chongli.
An Chongli was almost going crazy. Why was everyone doubting that Hengge'er was missing? He wasn't out of his mind. Why would he want to harm a five-year-old brother-in-law?
“Madam, it is indeed my responsibility that Heng’er went missing today, but that does not justify your questioning me with such suspicion,” An Chongli said, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible. “After all, I had no reason to harm Heng’er, did I?”
"Heh! Really not?" Old Madam Jiang sneered. "An Chongli, your schemes are still too naive in front of this old woman."
“Grandmother, how could you say that?” Jiang Chunyun said angrily to the old lady Jiang. “I know that you don’t like Chongli, and even resent him because of my sister, but you can’t slander him like this!”
“Fool,” Madam Jiang said with a displeased expression, “You were born from Aunt Tong’s womb, yet you didn’t inherit a single bit of Aunt Tong’s brains. Is it because you are registered under that fool Yan’s name that your brains have also inherited that fool Yan You’s?”
"Someone come here," Madam Jiang ordered directly, "send the Second Miss back, and also escort An Chongli out of the mansion."
"Young Master An, please!" Granny Qian said as she approached An Chongli. "My matriarch has already asked you to leave. Surely you won't be so shameless as to insist on staying!"
What could An Chongli say? He had already been humiliated like this. If he continued to stay, who knew what shocking things that old lady Jiang would say next.
Jiang Chunyun didn't want to leave. Based on what the old lady had just said, if she left, who knew what that damned old woman would say about Chongli next?
But seeing her father and aunt's angry attitude towards her, Jiang Chunyun didn't dare to stay any longer. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would show something unusual, and that would be the end of her.
After An Chongli and Jiang Chunyun left, Old Madam Jiang recounted Jiang Chunxi's words.
Aunt Tong's eyes widened in fury after hearing Old Madam Jiang's words. She didn't want to believe Old Madam Jiang's words, but the old lady's words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving her no choice but to believe them.
So, could it really be that An Chongli caused her Hengge'er to go missing, and that she indirectly harmed her own son?
It can be said that Aunt Tong facilitated the engagement between her daughter and An Chongli. If An Chongli really caused Hengge'er to go missing, wouldn't that mean she indirectly harmed her own son?
Mr. Jiang's face was so gloomy it could drip water; clearly, he had taken Mrs. Jiang's words to heart.
"Alas!" Madam Jiang sighed. "Now we can only pray that An Chongli only deliberately let Heng'er get lost and did not intend to kill him. Otherwise, there is probably no hope of finding Heng'er. He is probably already dead."
Aunt Tong suddenly fainted again, which naturally made Mr. Jiang extremely anxious. However, he had to find his son as soon as possible and couldn't stay by Aunt Tong's side. Therefore, he had no choice but to entrust Aunt Tong to Mrs. Jiang's care and go out to find his son himself.
Otherwise, as Mother said, if An Chongli wanted to kill Heng Ge'er, then Heng Ge'er's life would probably be in danger right now. So we must find Heng Ge'er as soon as possible. Delaying even a second would be a disaster for Heng Ge'er!
Aunt Tong fainted this time and didn't wake up until dark.
"Where is the master?" As soon as she woke up, Aunt Tong asked the maid who was serving her, "Where did the master go? Have you found Heng-ge'er yet?"
“Master went out to look for the Second Young Master when the Concubine fainted, and he hasn’t returned yet,” the maid Jinyou said with red eyes. “Concubine, Master will definitely find the Second Young Master. You haven’t eaten anything all day. I’ll go and prepare something for you now, so please eat something.”
“No need,” Aunt Tong said, struggling to get out of bed. “How can I eat anything right now? Come on, help me to the front yard right now. I need to wait for Master to come back.”
At the same time, on Jiang Chunxi's side.
"Miss, Aunt Tong has gone to the front yard," Yi Ke reported as she walked in from outside. "She said she was going to wait for the master to return. It seems that losing her son has caused Aunt Tong a great deal of distress. I heard that Aunt Tong was helped to the front yard by the servants."
“Aunt Tong only has one son, and now that he’s gone missing, if he can’t be found, then her hopes for the rest of her life will be gone,” Jiang Chunxi said, putting down the account book in her hand. “So how could losing her son be a big blow to Aunt Tong?”
"What I'm more curious about now is, if the son can't be found, will Aunt Tong hate her own daughter because of this? After all, she must now be convinced that An Chongli deliberately wanted to harm her son."
“Whose fault is that?” Yi Xin sneered. “Who told Aunt Tong to scheme against the eldest young lady and insist on helping her daughter steal this marriage? So even if she’s convinced that An Chongli harmed her son, she can only accept her fate. She deserves it.”
"However, Aunt Tong probably never expected that the person who really harmed her son was her own daughter. It was because she favored her son that her daughter wanted nothing more than to get rid of her brother."
“This second young lady is truly ruthless,” said Yi Ke. “Although Aunt Tong favors her son, she is also very scheming towards her daughter. Otherwise, how could the second young lady, a concubine’s daughter, become a legitimate daughter registered under the name of the principal wife?”
"But the second young lady is something else. Just because her younger brother is more valued by her parents, she has the heart to cause her brother to get lost and be kidnapped by abductors. Her viciousness cannot be described as just being a snake or a scorpion."
