Although Old Mrs. Jiang was already quite old, she had lived a life of luxury and was still very afraid that Jiang Wansang would go crazy and harm her old bones.

A thought flashed through her mind, and Mrs. Jiang made a decision, "I'm tired, you all should leave."

Hearing this, Liu and Jiang Mingzhi, who had been silent from beginning to end and had been holding their nerves, breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really frightened by Jiang Wansang's crazy behavior, and were afraid that Old Lady Jiang would be stubborn and force them to continue what they had agreed upon.

The two did not dare to hesitate and quickly responded: "Yes..."

"Wait." As soon as Jiang Wansang said these two calm words, the hearts of Liu and her son, which had just been relieved, were lifted again.

Even Meng Lianshu, who had been relieved, felt a pang of anxiety. He frowned and asked, "What else do you want to do?"

Jiang Wansang glanced coldly at the few people, and the corner of his mouth curled slightly, "Haven't you heard a saying?"

“It’s easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away.”

This obviously means that since he came here today, he doesn't plan to leave easily.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, not understanding what she was going to do, but they had a bad feeling.

Jiang Wansang looked at them with interest and said calmly, "I heard from Nanny Li that the old lady asked me to come because something big happened in the second house."

She turned to look at Liu, "I'm here, and we haven't even discussed the matter yet, why is Second Aunt leaving?"

Liu, who was suddenly mentioned by her, shuddered. "No...it's okay. I just came here to pay my respects. I'm fine."

Having seen Jiang Wansang cut off Nanny Li's hand without blinking, she would not dare to confront Jiang Wansang even if she had ten times the courage.

"Really?" Jiang Wansang smiled and her eyes fell on Jiang Mingzhi again.

The latter froze for a moment and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we are just here to pay our respects, we have nothing else to do."

Although Jiang Mingzhi has always been a reckless person, he is just relying on his uncle who is the prime minister to show off in front of those who curry favor with him.

If he really faced someone as ruthless as Jiang Wansang, he would cower faster than a dog.

Liu Shi did the same, putting on a smile and saying, "It's getting late, we'll go back first and not disturb your eldest wife from handling things."

The mother and son were about to leave, but Jiang Wansang stopped them, saying, "Don't worry, since you're here, I have something to tell Second Aunt."

She looked at Liu with a smile, "Some time ago, I sorted out a few maids from Tingsang Pavilion. One of them was called Xing'er. I wonder if Second Aunt remembers her?"

Hearing this name, Liu's eyebrows jumped and she subconsciously turned to look at Old Lady Jiang.

Of course she remembered this name, because Mrs. Jiang asked them to come today just for this matter.

But Liu couldn't say anything and could only play dumb, "What Xing'er? I don't know, I...you are from Sang Pavilion, how could I possibly know her?"

Jiang Wansang stared into her eyes. "Don't you recognize her, Second Aunt? When I was dealing with her, she kept saying she was my cousin's."

Jiang Mingzhi, who was trying hard to reduce his presence, almost cried when he heard this.

This lunatic was chatting happily with her mother, why did she bring the topic to him?

What Xing'er Li'er? He didn't remember what she looked like at all. He just heard from his mother that she was a woman he had played with before, and today he came to take advantage of the situation to ask for benefits.

But he has so many women, he can't even remember who Xing'er is!

Jiang Mingzhi had suffered at the hands of Jiang Wansang more than once, and at this moment, being stared at by her, his legs couldn't help but tremble.

"It's none of my business. I... I don't even know Xing'er. That woman must be wrongly accusing me. If you don't believe me, you can call her over to confront me!"

He dared to say this so confidently because he really didn't remember that there was a woman named Xing'er among his women.

Jiang Mingzhi was a playboy. She was just a maid bought from outside and not a beauty, so he had long since stopped caring about her.

Jiang Wansang could tell that he was not lying, and guessed that he might have forgotten her long ago, so her eyes became more contemptuous.

If he was willing to argue with her for Xing'er today, she would look at him with a new respect.

Seeing Jiang Mingzhi's disappointing appearance, Mrs. Jiang, who was already in a bad mood, looked even worse.

She only gave birth to two sons in her life. The eldest son became the prime minister of a country, but she had no children. Apart from her daughter Han'er, she only had one illegitimate son, who was born a fool.

Although the second son was not very useful, he at least became an official in the Imperial Observatory and had a son and a daughter.

So, Jiang Mingzhi is her only grandson, and there is a high possibility that he will inherit the entire Jiang family in the future.

But now, this grandson acted so unimportant in front of Jiang Wansang, which made her heart ache!

Before Jiang Mingzhi could continue speaking, Old Madam Jiang spoke first: "What do you mean by not knowing each other? Didn't you and your son come here today just to discuss Xing'er's matter?"

Seeing that she still brought up this matter, Liu was frightened and said, "Mother, we are not..."

"Useless things!"

Old Madam Jiang interrupted her with a thump of her cane, her face filled with disappointment. "As an elder, you were actually intimidated by a junior with just a few words. This is a disgrace to our Jiang family!"

Although Liu was a hot-tempered person, she had always been afraid of her mother-in-law. Seeing her get angry, she didn't dare to say anything and lowered her head and kept her mouth shut.

Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Wansang again, her expression growing even gloomier.

She had originally planned to let this evil creature go, but she didn't expect that she would actually bring up this matter on her own initiative. Then she would let her know the consequences of disobeying elders!

"The Xing'er you mentioned is indeed Mingzhi's." Her eyes were full of calculation. "Not only that, that girl is pregnant with the blood of my Jiang family."

Jiang Wansang's eyebrows twitched, and he savored her words with interest.

The bloodline of the Jiang family?

This is interesting.

She looked at Old Lady Jiang and asked sincerely, "Since Xing'er is pregnant with my cousin's child, why did my cousin only come to ask for her today after Xing'er was sent away so long ago?"

"Here……"

Jiang Mingzhi stammered, not knowing how to answer, and looked at Liu for help.

Liu was now standing here with her head held high, and could only look to Old Lady Jiang for help.

Witnessing this, Old Lady Jiang cursed inwardly, "Useless thing!" and continued, "You took away the indentures of all the servants in Tingsang Pavilion and guarded the yard to prevent anyone from approaching. They only just learned about Xing'er's disappearance."

Old Madam Jiang explained, quickly bringing the conversation to the most crucial point: "Wan Sang, although you are only the Jiang family's adopted daughter, the child in Xing'er's belly is, after all, your nominal nephew. Do you acknowledge your guilt for doing something that harms the Jiang family's bloodline?"

As if she knew she couldn't defeat Jiang Wansang in a head-on fight, her tone softened, but her intention to accuse him remained unchanged.

Jiang Wansang seemed not to understand her accusation, and had an expression of sudden enlightenment, "So Grandmother and Second Aunt are making such a big fuss because they want Xing'er!"

"This is just a coincidence. I brought him here specially today."
