Chapter 296 – Losing Virginity Before Marriage
Shui Ling walked out.
There were no more outsiders in the house before Jiang Jin said sadly, “Jiang Yishi, I know my mother did something she shouldn’t have done, but she didn’t die from her crime.”
Jiang Xun’s face sank even further, standing directly in front of Jiang Jin, “Your mother lost her footing and fell to her death, what’s it got to do with my sister?”
Jiang Yishi also wondered, “What do you mean, I pushed your mother down the mountain?”
Jiang Jin said, “It wasn’t you, it was also Meng Zhimo who sent someone to do it. Jiang Yishi, when my mother said those words, it was only because your grandparents’ relatives went to ask her about it. Yes, my mother shouldn’t have suspected Auntie Two like that, and even more so, she shouldn’t have said it regardless.
“I taught Zhineng a lesson at the time, and told her to go back and tell my mother to keep her mouth shut and not to talk nonsense again. I also kept my mouth shut and didn’t reveal a word. But how could you let someone go and kill her!”
Jiang Yishi froze. Zhou suspected Hu, suspected her of what? She also thought that Zhou couldn’t possibly know that she wasn’t a member of the Jiang family’s bloodline, and if she did, she wouldn’t have kept it a secret until now.
She asked, “What’s going on, why are you talking about my maternal ancestor’s family again?”
Seeing Jiang Yishi’s blank face, Jiang Jin regretted his recklessness and rashness.
Could it be that his mother really lost her footing and fell off the cliff, rather than being killed?
As angry as he was at his mother, her horizontal death made him furious. He didn’t dare to look to go to the Meng family to make a scene, thinking that Jiang Yishi would return to her mother’s home today, he ran back to question her.
Jiang Xun added, “What does your mother suspect about my mother, make it clear.”
Jiang Jin didn’t dare to be more cross, slowed down his tone and said, “It’s nothing. It’s all old stories, it’s my mother who is suspicious, you don’t have to listen.”
Jiang Yishi sneered, “I’ve been suspected of murder, of course I want to know the truth.”
Jiang Xun also said, “My mother has been dead for more than ten years, what handle could she have to be suspected by your mother. Speak clearly, I want to right my mother’s name.”
Jiang Jin looked at the two siblings who were not angry. He was not afraid of Jiang Xun, but he was afraid of Jiang Yishi. If he offended Jiang Yishi and Meng Zhimo, his father would beat him to death.
He could only say helplessly, “A month or so ago, an old woman went to the Greenstone Nunnery to look for my mother, claiming to be a relative of Auntie Two’s mother’s family. She inquired about the situation when the second aunt was first married to the second uncle, and inquired especially carefully, asking about the time when the second aunt was betrothed, married, and gave birth to the second sister. My mother, alas, my mother just imagined and guessed wildly, saying, saying that the second uncle and the second aunt may have been pregnant with the second sister before the marriage ……”
Jiang Xun did not listen to the end, was so angry that he punched him, scolded, “that rotten mouth bitch, deserved to fall dead, how can she be so dirty my parents.”
Jiang Jin was stunned by the beating, in the end did not dare to fight back. Angry eyes bulging round, drank, “Second brother, the dead is great, not allow you to say that my mother. Also, I am your elder brother, how dare you hit me.”
Jiang Xun roared back again, “Bullshit the dead are great. She’s a monk and still doesn’t do anything, she’s full of shit, but God is not going to take her life. I beat you because you deserve it, who let you have such a wicked mother.”
Jiang Yishi’s heart sank.
There was actually an old woman who had gone to ask Zhou about Hu’s marriage and the birth of her child. She felt that that person would definitely not be a Hu family relative.
Although a relative’s subordinate was currently here, the one who came was a man, or one who had only arrived in the capital a few days ago.
No matter who it was, this matter had to be squashed as soon as possible. One was not to ruin the Hu Clan’s reputation, and the other was afraid that people would dig deeper to discover Jiang Yishi’s true origins.
Jiang Yishi said coldly, “Heaven’s sins can be disobeyed, and self-inflicted sins can’t be lived. Zhou’s life has been a bad conscience, and she’s still stirring up trouble even after she’s left the house. I can tell you for sure, that old woman is definitely not a relative of the Hu family, she should be a political enemy of the Meng family, and they want to hit my grandpa by hitting me. I have to hurry back and talk to the grand master to see how they can defuse the situation.
“But these kinds of words must never come out of the Jiang family’s mouths, and if they do, I’ll only be looking for you to settle the score. If you don’t let us have a good time, I will make it even worse for you. Also, you should not meddle in this matter, so as not to cause trouble.”
Seeing the cold Jiang Yishi, and thinking that perhaps he had caused trouble for the Meng family, and that his own family wouldn’t be able to escape if anything happened, Jiang Jin nodded his head in agreement with a pale face.
He twisted his head and left the house. Fortunately, those words did not dare to say to his younger siblings, if the talkative third sister knew, it would be even more troublesome.
Jiang Xun was so angry that he clenched his fists, “Sister, he tainted father and mother’s reputation, why did you let him go in pain, I haven’t beaten him enough.”
Jiang Yishi said, “If the fuss is overheard by outsiders, it’s not good for father and mother’s reputation. However, if he makes such a mess, the old lady and eldest uncle will definitely know.”
This is a family scandal, even if those two people knew, they wouldn’t dare to make a scene.
Jiang Yishi asked again, “Only one person from Great Uncle’s family came, Great Uncle Qi?”
Jiang Xun said, “He’s the only one I know. I’d better go ask him to rule out suspicion.”
Jiang Yishi nodded.
She intuited that the person who went to ask Zhou should have been sent by He.
Jiang Jin said that it happened more than a month ago. At that time, she was treating the Grand Princess’s eyes, and the Grand Princess said she looked like Aunt Zheng, and Zheng Tingting said she looked like her. He had his suspicions and had someone ask Zhou.
When Zhou said that, He was already sure that she was Zheng Ji’s daughter.
Jiang Yishi was also sure that Zhou hadn’t accidentally lost her footing.
There is no such thing as a coincidence.
It was possible that He didn’t want this to leak out and affect her status and sent someone to silence her.
There was also the possibility that Zheng Ji somehow knew about this matter and thought he had sent someone to kill Zhou for his own good.
If Zheng Ji knew that Hu was pregnant before marriage, wouldn’t he also guess his true identity?
Jiang Yishi’s heart was in turmoil.
A quarter of an hour or so later Jiang Xun returned.
“Uncle Qi said that he was the only one who went to the capital and had no companions. He entered the capital on the 28th day of the Lunar New Year and came directly to the Jiang Mansion without going anywhere else. The Hu family members and relatives are poor, and that old woman who inquired about the situation is definitely not a Hu family relative. Sister, it can’t really be a political enemy of second brother-in-law, right?”
Jiang Yishi said, “It must be. Leave this matter alone, I’ll make it clear to Resignation Mo, he’ll take care of it.”
Jiang Xun wasn’t angry yet and said through clenched teeth, “In addition to the First Mistress, I’m going to stay even further away from the Big House in the future. Hmph, Zhou is so bad, the ones she gave birth to won’t be good people either.”
Jiang Yishi said, “My stomach is a bit uncomfortable, I want to go home.”
Jiang Xun was shocked, “I’ll go ask the doctor.”
“No big deal, just go home and rest.”
Jiang Yishi sent someone to the outer courtyard to inform Meng Zhimo. Little CunCun was still sleeping, so she had mommy Huang hold him in a quilt.
Once the Meng family members left, Guo Zifei also left with his wife and son.
The old lady and uncle Jiang, the third master had already heard that Jiang Jin had suddenly returned, and was still full of anger as he ran directly to Scorch Garden. I don’t know what he said to Jiang Yishi and made Jiang Yishi angry.
They called Jiang Jin to Ruyi Hall.
Jiang Jin didn’t dare to hide anything and said what happened.
The old lady and a few others listened with jaws agape.
