Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

“Father, Mother…” Jiang Mo wasn’t stupid. He immediately realized what was happening, and the grievance on his face vanished instantly, replaced by sarcasm and self-deprecation.

When did you find it?

“From the moment you sent Qin Zhao to find the medicine.” Madam Jiang looked at him coldly, her tone chilling.

"Ha, so early?" Jiang Mo chuckled, looking at Qin Zhao with eyes full of resentment. "I thought you were a coward who could be easily manipulated. You've got guts."

Qin Zhao took a few steps back, afraid that Jiang Mo would suddenly pounce on him and kill him.

"Xiao Mo, why?" Jiang Lihai's voice was low and hoarse, as if the words were being squeezed out of his throat. After so many years of careful upbringing, where exactly did things go wrong?

"Why? You ask me why?" Jiang Mo's eyes reddened, as if they were about to bleed. He raised his hand and pointed at the guards and servants in the hall. "You, you, and all of you! Do you treat me as the master of this Marquis's mansion? You are respectful to me on the surface, but in reality, you look down on me behind my back. I am just a dog kept by the Marquis's mansion, a dog that plays with Jiang Heng."

He chuckled nervously, taking a few steps closer to Jiang Lihai. "I just want to climb the social ladder. What's wrong with being a superior person? Why are you stopping me? You've been ordering me around for years, doing this and that, but in the end, you give me nothing. Now that Jiang Heng's health has improved, you want to get rid of me?" He then turned to Jiang Shi. "And you, haven't you noticed or are you doing it on purpose? In front of Jiang Heng, you always call yourself 'Mother,' while I can only call you 'Mother.' Have you never treated me like your child?"

Jiang frowned as she looked at him, her eyes filled with deep disappointment. She didn't want to argue further; Jiang Mo was already trapped in his own thoughts and wouldn't listen to anyone else.

"This has never been my home, but it doesn't matter, I don't care. But your home is falling apart too, Jiang Heng won't have many days left to live, hahahahahaha!"

A sharp "slap" interrupted Jiang Mo's gloating. The numbness on his left cheek was instantly replaced by a throbbing pain. His vision blurred on a certain spot on the ground. He wiped the blood from his mouth, turned back to stare at Jiang Lihai for a while, and suddenly grinned. "Come on, give him a few more slaps to vent your anger. I'll let you hit him as many times as you want, since your son is about to die."

Jiang Lihai stepped forward and slapped him hard again, angrily saying, "Get out! From now on, the Marquis's mansion has nothing to do with you!" After saying that, she turned away, unwilling to look at him anymore.

886 was so angry in Jiang Heng's consciousness space that he punched and kicked, "How come you only slapped him twice! Host's dad, hurry up and slap him! You're driving the system crazy!"

886 frantically searched the system shop, looking for any items that could be used on Jiang Mo, such as those that could be used to hit people from a distance. His little hands were so busy that they left afterimages.

In the end, Jiang Heng stopped it in time, saying, "Good leader, we don't need to waste our points on Jiang Mo. He'll get his comeuppance later, and that will make you feel better."

"Alright then, I'll hold back a little longer." Hearing Jiang Heng's assurance, 886 barely suppressed his urge to cause trouble and continued to keep an eye on the outside.

Jiang Mo paused, seemingly not expecting the other party to let him leave so easily. He thought he wouldn't survive today either. He glanced at Jiang Lihai and his wife one last time, then turned and left.

“Jiang Mo, even if you have many complaints about us, what about Xiao Bao? Over the years, hasn’t he treated you like his own brother? I don’t believe you can’t see it.”

Just as Jiang Mo was about to step out the door, Jiang called out to him in a calm voice. Jiang Mo stopped in his tracks, did not turn around, and continued walking out without saying anything.

For a moment, no one in the hall dared to utter a sound.

"Go down, all of you." Jiang Lihai waved his hand. "Liang Yan, Lu Qian, you two stay outside and guard the place. No one is allowed to come near."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Qin Zhao moved along the wall, trying to sneak away. However, before he had taken more than a few steps, a strange-looking guard appeared out of nowhere, knocked him unconscious, and carried him away.

Liang Yan, who was Jiang Lihai's chief guard, made a few hand gestures towards the void. Lu Qian did not see anyone appear around him, but he could feel several chilling auras quietly approaching and finally disappearing into a certain place.

He felt a chill run down his spine, but kept it to himself, dutifully standing guard outside the door. Liang Yan glanced at him, secretly pleased; he was a reliable person.

The crowd filed out, and as the footsteps faded into the distance, the hall doors closed. Jiang Lihai yanked his belt and stormed into the side room, yelling, "You little brat! You dared to trick your father! I'll give you a good beating!"

Hearing Jiang Lihai's roar, Jiang Heng was startled and couldn't help but hiccup. Mo Wu was amused by his reaction, waved to him, and then disappeared. "May the young master have good luck."

"Host, run! Your mother's coming to twist your ears!" 886 bounced around in the consciousness space, seemingly anxious, but its tone sounded more like gloating.

Jiang Heng didn't have time to worry about it. She quickly scanned the room and found nowhere to hide. Just as she was about to climb out the window, Jiang Lihai rushed in, followed by Jiang Shi with a stern face.

Jiang Heng gave an embarrassed smile, climbed down from the window, and stood awkwardly to one side. "Father, Mother, I know I was wrong."

You almost scared your parents to death!

Jiang Lihai's belt swung loudly, but it didn't even touch the hem of Jiang Heng's clothes. Jiang Heng was relieved to see this; it wouldn't be a mixed doubles attack.

"Father, Mother, listen to me..."

"suspended animation?"

After listening to Jiang Heng's words, Jiang Lihai quickly considered the feasibility, realizing that this was a good opportunity to break away from Qi Lan.

Jiang Heng only came up with this plan this morning. Once he fakes his death, his mother can use the excuse of being too heartbroken to be sent away to recuperate.

He believed that as long as he and his mother were not in Qilan, his father would not be restrained, and it would be a piece of cake for his father to get out unscathed.

He could then fake his death, change his appearance, and stay by Dong Tinglan's side, since Dong Tinglan's side was the real power. Presumably, Dong Li's army should be arriving in the capital soon.

Actually, Jiang Heng didn't need to concern himself with Jiang Lihai and his wife, since his relationship with Jiang Mo was already firmly established. But he was too attached to this warmth, so let him have a little selfishness within his capabilities.

"Is it reliable?" Jiang Shi was truly terrified by Jiang Heng's actions over the past few days.

"Absolutely reliable!"

That very night, Jiang Lihai, looking haggard and with bloodshot eyes, went to the palace. On his way to the Imperial Study, he nearly fell several times because he was in a daze, and had to be supported by the eunuch leading the way.

Within an hour, the news that the heir of the Marquis of Zhongyong was poisoned and would soon die spread throughout the residences of officials in the capital.

The young men from noble families who had met Jiang Heng at the theater that day couldn't help but sigh. They never expected that the young master Jiang would not live past twenty, but not because of a critical illness, but because of poisoning.

Now everyone was naturally curious about how they had been poisoned. So each family sent people to guard outside the Marquis's residence, hoping to find out some information.

Even Chunhua Palace heard the news. Dong Tinglan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle. This young master is really something...
