Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

This was the only reason Jiang Yingjie could think of.

After all, in his mind, he was just playing with a few kittens. Although this hobby was not elegant, it was not a big deal. Song Nianru would never get angry with him for a few animals.

The only possibility is that Song Nianru passed by here and was frightened by the sound made by the cat when it was dying, so he ran over to vent his anger on him.

Unfortunately, he guessed wrong.

Song Nianru had come to see him specifically, and that was why she saw this cruel scene. She couldn't help but sigh: "You really can't judge a person by his appearance."

If it wasn't a chance encounter, who would have thought that the Fourth Young Master Jiang, regarded by the Jiang family as "honest, humble and modest," would have such a hidden side?!

She looked around and found the air somewhat foul. She wondered how many small animal carcasses had been buried in this small patch of woods.

Song Nianru clenched his fists - he must break all five legs of this guy and let him taste the pain of being tortured!

"The Third Madam is dead, and you're still in the mood to play with cats?"

Song Nianru said coldly:

"As a son, aren't you curious about how your biological mother died?"

Jiang Yingjie was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes:

"How did the Third Madam die...wasn't it a sudden, catastrophic illness? That's what the First Madam told me."

"These are words that fool outsiders,"

Song Nianru was getting a little impatient standing there, but she didn't want this guy to dirty other places. She simply reached out and took a chair from the space and sat down:

"I don't think the Fourth Young Master will really believe it!"

Jiang Yingjie's pupils shrank suddenly.

Ignore what Song Nianru said - what he just saw.

A chair suddenly appeared in front of the woman, and she sat down in front of him so gorgeously... Is this - the light is too bad and he is blind?

"Don't tell me you haven't seen the Third Madam's body..."

Song Nianru didn't care about his thoughts. Since she dared to expose the space, she was sure that Jiang Yingjie couldn't say a word.

"me……"

Jiang Yingjie's mind was shaken beyond all recognition. But he didn't dare to delve into the matter. Furthermore, facing Song Nianru's aggressiveness, he stammered for a long time before suddenly covering his face and bursting into tears.

Crying and pounding the ground:

"Of course I went to see it... I also saw marks on my mother's neck from being strangled. She must have been murdered."

"It's a pity that I have no status in this mansion. They said she had a sudden serious illness. I, I can only admit it. I am incompetent and unfilial!"

Jiang Yingjie cried and said:

"I didn't dare express my anger and doubts, so I was in a bad mood. I wanted to go out and relax, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect to disturb the eldest young lady. Damn me!!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Song Nianru was so angry that she laughed.

Jiang Yingjie is really smart. He can even make up for this.

"If a concubine of a mansion was really murdered, how could the mansion not track down the murderer, but choose to keep the matter quiet?" Song Nianru said:

"Have you never considered that the Third Madam might have committed suicide?"

"Suicide, how is that possible?"

Jiang Yingjie lay on the ground, muttering:

"My mother can't bear to part with me..."

"Your mother naturally can't bear to part with you, and she even can't bear to have your reputation ruined because of her."

Song Nianru said:

"So, she took the blame for you, instructing Meixiang to poison the Third Young Master on my wedding day... In order to prove this crime, she was willing to die."

Song Nianru leaned forward and said, "She should have explained these to you before she died, right?"

Jiang Yingjie's body trembled suddenly, his face turned pale, and his eyes began to wander from side to side:

"No, I don't know what you're talking about..."

Song Nianru ignored him and continued:

"The Third Madam truly hopes her son will become a successful person and loves him dearly. Her love is truly touching."

"What a pity! The son she had such high hopes for turned out to be such a hopeless loser. He didn't even cry for her after she died, and instead took out his anger on a few innocent cats in the middle of the night!"

Somehow, Song Nianru suddenly remembered the day when she went to see Zhao Yinshuang and saw the handkerchief she was embroidering - the vivid picture embroidered on it was a picture of a kitten chasing butterflies.

I don’t know what the third wife would think if she knew her son was abusing a cat.

Or maybe, she already knew?

Jiang Yingjie's eyes turned bloodshot when he heard this, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. He closed his eyes and said after a long while:

"Yes, it was Meixiang who was ordered by me."

"It was me who asked Meixiang to buy the medicine, and it was also me who asked Meixiang to put the medicine in the wine in your new house."

"But how do you know all this? My mother said that you already believe it was her who did it, right? Why are you suspecting me now?"

“very simple”

Song Nianru said, "Meixiang has been pregnant for nearly three months - the child is yours, isn't it?"

She didn't originally associate the whole incident with Jiang Yingjie.

After all, Meixiang identified the Third Madam as the mastermind, so all the clues and motives could be justified. It was only later, when I heard the conversation between Meixiang's mother and her sister at her parents' home, that I suddenly thought of this layer.

Meixiang's sister said that Meixiang dreamed all day long about becoming the concubine of the young master of the Jiang family.

Then, the real motivation that prompted her to take the risk of killing may not be her loyalty to an unfavored concubine, but her status as "concubine" or even "young lady" in the Jiang family.

Sure enough, Jiang Yingjie's eyes widened with shock.

"H-how do you know?"

Even the Third Madam didn't know about this. She dreamed that he could be proud of himself in the Jiang family, and to achieve this, marrying a helpful daughter-in-law was the top priority.

How could it be possible to let a girl give birth to the son's eldest son before the future daughter-in-law?

So Jiang Yingjie and Meixiang could only do it secretly - especially the fact that Meixiang was pregnant. He was confident that he had kept it a secret and repeatedly told Meixiang not to tell anyone, otherwise the Jiang family would definitely force her to have an abortion.

At least she would be kicked out, but when she gave birth to the child, it would be a different story. After all, it would be the first child of the next generation of the Jiang family. If it was a grandson, Meixiang's status would rise even higher.

So, is this young lady in front of me a human or a ghost?!

Thinking of the scene he had just seen, where a chair appeared out of thin air in front of Song Nianru, and recalling the Second Madam's invitation to exorcise evil spirits a few days ago, Jiang Yingjie's expression suddenly changed.

"Song Nianru, you drank poisoned wine on your wedding day! You, you are actually dead. You are not a human, right?"

Song Nianru shrugged:

"It doesn't matter whether I'm a human or a ghost..."
