Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Unrepentant
Although she had never personally experienced the Jiang Family rules, she was aware of them. Plotting to harm offspring is a serious crime, punishable by being drowned in a pig cage.
Of course, nowadays there’s no such thing as drowning in a pig cage, but one must kneel in the ancestral hall for several days and nights, without eating or drinking.
Such a punishment could be life-threatening. And she, she didn’t want to die at all.
"Ming Lan, there are no walls in this world without cracks. If you want something to remain unknown, you shouldn’t have done it. Do you think no one knows about the things you’ve done? In the past, I didn’t mention it to give you face and for the peace of the Jiang Family."
"But now it seems, I was wrong."
Old Sir Jiang looked determined, and Ming Lan suddenly panicked. Her thoughts raced, and she knelt again before Old Sir Jiang, saying, "Dad, I’m wrong, I truly realize my mistakes. Please, Dad, consider my years of hard work for the Jiang Family, and forgive me this once."
"Forgive you once?" Old Sir Jiang sneered and said, "I really should thank you for your hard work for my Jiang Family. If not for your care, how could my Jiang Family have only Jiang Mingzhu as a grandchild?"
"Dad, I?" Ming Lan’s expression changed repeatedly, but she couldn’t utter a word. Indeed, she had worked hard for the Jiang Family; otherwise, how could An Gu’s children miscarry one after another?
"Go, I don’t want to see you anymore. Also, regarding the Ming Family’s matters, I am powerless." Old Sir Jiang didn’t want to talk to Ming Lan any longer and directly dismissed her.
As for the Ming Family’s matters, not to mention his limited abilities, even if he could help, he wouldn’t anymore.
Ming Lan almost brought the Jiang Family to the brink of extinction, helping her again would be foolish, like a clod.
"Mom, please help me talk to Dad, I truly know I was wrong. I’ll never dare again."
Seeing Old Sir Jiang driving her away, Ming Lan turned to plead with Old Madam Jiang. Now, probably only Old Madam Jiang could persuade Old Sir Jiang.
"You overestimate me." Old Madam Jiang looked coldly at Ming Lan, still shocked. She couldn’t believe that the daughter-in-law she personally selected for her son turned out to be such a person.
Such a vicious woman, yet she entered the Jiang Family’s doors. Now causing the Jiang Family to have only Jiang Mingzhu and Jiang Xue.
Blame her, yes, blame her. Blame her blindness back then, choosing such a ’good’ daughter-in-law. In the afterlife, how would she face the ancestors of the Jiang Family?
"Mom, are you not going to care for me either? After all, I am the daughter-in-law you personally chose. Don’t you know my character? Do you also believe what Dad said?"
"So, you are blaming me?" Old Madam Jiang was furious, unable to believe that even at this point, Ming Lan could still say such a thing.
Yes, she did choose Ming Lan, but who could have known she would be so vicious as to try to end the Jiang Family lineage?
"Mom, I didn’t mean that. I am simply asking you to say a few words for me in front of Dad, you wouldn’t refuse even this, would you? You should know, if not for my Ming Family, Jiang Feng might not have reached his current status today."
"You, get out!" Old Sir Jiang was also infuriated, pointing at Ming Lan to leave. He didn’t expect that a momentary lapse could result in such dire consequences. If he had known, he would never have done it back then.
