A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!

Chapter 244 The truth comes out

The wickedness of naughty children exceeds the imagination of adults, but their resilience and meticulousness in handling matters are far from matching their wickedness.

Jiang Quan used to commit evil deeds with impunity because someone would cover for him and his family could protect him.

Now, exposed to the public and harmed once again, is the current pillar and heir of the Jiang family. He has finally learned to be afraid.

All she knew was to cry and beg for mercy, clinging to Jiang Wanqiu like a lifeline for protection.

Jiang Wanqiu was furious. She shoved him away and slapped him hard across the face.

This was a really hard blow; Jiang Quan's lip was cut and blood was flowing down.

Jiang Quan kept complaining that his family spoiled Jiang Song and treated him badly.

In reality, apart from not going to school and not being able to squander money, he never suffered any grievances.

Jiang Wanqiu had never hit him before, and this sudden slap dispelled Jiang Quan's fear and instead aroused his resentment.

The kid was still throwing a tantrum as usual, saying things like he wouldn't live if he sided with his older brother.

Jiang Wanqiu's tears fell in a stream as she stared coldly at Jiang Quan, her eyes blazing with fury.

As expected, he's hopeless.

She was too negligent; she neglected to realize that there was such an idiot in the family.

If something really happens to Songdi, what future will their family have?

At this moment, she really wanted to strangle Jiang Quan; all the affection she used to have for her younger brother was gone.

Jiang Xinyu watched coldly, feeling a sense of satisfaction. If they weren't in public, she would have liked to crack open some melon seeds.

The original novel doesn't describe Jiang Quan much. The only instance is when Jiang Xinyu's son does something bad with him.

Jiang Quan serves as a contrast to Jiang Song; for every outstanding and kind-hearted man, Jiang Quan is just as foolish and vicious.

The author wrote it that way to compare Jiang Xinyu's child with Jiang Wanqiu's son.

It also serves to highlight the kindness and integrity of the male and female protagonists, as well as their helplessness in the face of their incompetent family members.

Now that all the plot points are in a mess, Jiang Xinyu can no longer possibly give birth to another son to suffer in this world.

Judging from the original owner's memories, the evil Jiang Quan committed as a child was enough to make him die eight times over.

Let's see what Jiang Wanqiu does first.

If she were to abandon Jiang Quan Liu Shi, it would definitely create a rift between her and the victim, and even Jiang Song, the victim, would probably blame her for being heartless.

After all, that was a saintly father who was otherworldly and had boundless love.

But if Jiang Wanqiu chooses to protect Jiang Quan and smooth things over, then it is up to her, the upright and kind eldest sister, to uphold justice and put family aside.

After all, this is not just a minor squabble at home; it's attempted murder.

With government officials and so many relatives watching, you can't just cover it up by not pursuing it at home.

Could Jiang Wanqiu not have considered the dilemma that Jiang Xinyu could have imagined?

Having been a seasoned veteran of palace intrigue for decades, she knew exactly how to maximize her profits.

Even if I can't protect Jiang Quan, I might as well just give him up.

After slapping Jiang Quan, Jiang Wanqiu righteously rebuked him for being unfilial, disrespectful, and unworthy of being a human being.

Jiang Wanqiu didn't have such a heartless brother; she would arrest him however she wanted and do whatever she wanted.

If she protects Jiang Quan, she will be letting down the victim, Jiang Song.

Jiang Wanqiu's performance was spot-on, her voice choked with tears and her words sincere.

She perfectly portrayed the image of a sister who was heartbroken by her younger brother, torn between two choices, yet forced to uphold justice.

People didn't think she was heartless; on the contrary, they praised her character.

I think a girl who is affectionate, righteous, responsible, and capable of handling things is very suitable to be the head of the household.

It's a pity that this role would have been truly perfect if Jiang Xinyu had played it.

Jiang Wanqiu's acting was indeed excellent, but she forgot that she and Jiang Quan were twins.

Whether she can gain fame by stepping on her younger brother depends on whether her biological mother, Liu, is willing.

Liu fainted and rested in the next room. Granny Zhao took care of her. Unexpectedly, it was found that Jiang Quan was the one who did it.

The old woman was afraid that if Jiang Quan was taken away while Liu was unconscious, Liu would cause trouble for her, so she pinched Liu's philtrum and splashed cold water on her to wake her up.

Just as she was helping Liu Shi into the house, she overheard Jiang Wanqiu's righteous act of turning against his own family.

Now Liu didn't need anyone to help her up. With a howl, she pounced on Jiang Wanqiu and slapped her across the face, cursing her for being heartless and lacking any brotherly affection.

Jiang Wanqiu, who had been a feudal lord for decades, had never been slapped before. He was ashamed, angry, and helpless.

Liu was her biological mother, and the pressure of filial piety made it impossible for her to do anything right, so she simply took the opportunity to feign fainting to shirk responsibility.

Anyway, she has already made her stance clear and earned a good reputation. Since her aunt is reluctant to part with Jiang Quan, let her clean up the mess herself.

Both sons are her flesh and blood; she wants to see how her aunt will face her brother Song in the future, since she insists on protecting Jiang Quan.

Jiang Xinyu remained perfectly hidden, joining her relatives in watching the drama unfold, unaware that the show was becoming increasingly dramatic when Jiang Song woke up.

Uh, I'm about a quarter awake.

Liu refused to let the officials take Jiang Quan away and made a scene. Just then, a maid came to report that Jiang Song had regained consciousness.

Liu's eyes immediately lit up with hope, and she said that her youngest son definitely did not do it on purpose.

If Jiang Song doesn't pursue the matter, then everything will be fine, right?

The officers looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do.

At the time, only the two Jiang brothers were present, so it was impossible to determine whether it was an attempted murder or an accidental vase falling on their heads.

What crime Jiang Quan committed depends entirely on Jiang Song's decision. If Jiang Song, the aggrieved party, doesn't pursue the matter, they have no grounds to arrest him.

Liu, disregarding Jiang Song's still-healing injuries, had her maid help him out so he could explain the misunderstanding to the officials.

As she spoke, Liu pinched the maid and desperately tried to wink at her.

She emphasized the word "misunderstanding," implying that she should tell Jiang Song what to say.

The little maid burst into tears, "Auntie, the young master has gone mad, he doesn't recognize anyone, he only knows how to ask for candy."

The doctor said he's like a two or three-year-old child now, whining and begging...

Upon hearing this, Liu became furious and slapped the maid across the face.

"Impossible. My Song-ge'er is going to be the top scholar in the imperial examination. He has been number one in the academy every year."

How could he be stupid?

"What nonsense are you spouting, you lowly servant girl?"

As she spoke, Liu pushed through the crowd and went to the next room. As soon as she entered, she heard Jiang Song crying and making a fuss.

The refined and handsome young man was now lying pitifully on the bed, his face covered in snot and tears, crying out that he had a headache.

Liu was heartbroken at the sight, and her legs gave way, causing her to faint again.

Liu was genuinely dizzy, but Jiang Wanqiu, who was pretending to be dizzy, took the opportunity to slowly wake up.

She knew this was her only chance; if she didn't take advantage of her aunt's unconsciousness to resolve the matter, there would likely be serious trouble ahead.

Auntie is too short-sighted. With Songdi already mentally impaired, she will definitely try her best to protect Jiangquan.

But Jiang Quan is a hopeless case; if he stays, the whole family will suffer.

Especially myself.

Just now, she betrayed her own family for the greater good, so Jiang Quan must hate her to the core. Given Jiang Quan's character, she might even be sold off for money.

And the concubine was completely unreliable.

In her heart, her son was always the most important person. If Jiang Quan wanted to sell her, she would at most shed a few tears, sigh about her miserable life, and then watch helplessly as she was sold.

Jiang Wanqiu was not one to sit idly by and wait for death. While arranging for people to carry Liu back to her room, she decisively told the officials that she would investigate the matter thoroughly.

Those who should be arrested and sentenced should be arrested and sentenced; Jiang Quan should be held accountable for his actions.

The official subconsciously looked at Jiang Da Niang, the most powerful member of the Jiang family.

This is Lady Hou; her opinion is key to how things are handled.

Jiang Xinyu, in a very manipulative way, said that she and they were ultimately worlds apart.

Jiang Quan and Jiang Song are both Jiang Wanqiu's biological siblings, so naturally, their wishes should be taken into consideration.

she?

She respects the law and justice and will never cover up wrongdoing.

Upon hearing this, the officers understood, and with a flick of the chains, they took Jiang Quan away.

No matter how much the kid cried and screamed, it was no use.
