Chapter 411 - 137 Unveiling _4
Madam Jiang the Elder’s expression drastically changed. For her, ensuring the Jiang Family’s prosperity and the growth of its heirs was her responsibility. Thus, when Jiang Li pushed Ji Shuran and caused her miscarriage, resulting in the loss of her son, it infuriated Madam Jiang the Elder most grievously. In the Jiang Residence, she might turn a blind eye to some of Ji Shuran’s actions, but that didn’t mean she would tolerate anyone harming the heirs of the Jiang Family within the Mansion!
Ji Shuran saw the cold look in Jiang Yuanbai and Madam Jiang the Elder’s eyes, and her heart sank. She was extremely frightened but didn’t know if she was more afraid of the fierce ghost coming to claim her life or of facing the Judgment of Madam Jiang the Elder and Jiang Yuanbai afterward.
All she could do was frantically shake her head, saying, "No, it’s not true, these are the nonsense words of evil spirits, how can you believe them? My lord, why would I harm your eldest daughter without any cause?"
At that moment, Jiang Li staggered forward two more steps. As she approached, the servants of the Jiang Residence all stepped aside to avoid her, since Jiang Li, shaped like a fierce ghost and possessed at the moment, was truly terrifying. Her walk was oddly unusual, with black smoke rising from the soles of her feet, making her appear as though she wasn’t touching solid ground.
Jiang Li arrived under the pagoda tree in the garden and crouched down to dig. What was buried there was shallow, and she quickly unearthed it.
"Heavens," Aunt Hu covered her mouth, tears raining down, "these... these are Yueer’s things..."
Yueer’s belongings had been buried deep with the coffin soon after her incident, fearing that it would provoke Jiang Yuanbai’s emotions, and hence, nothing of Yueer’s was left in the Mansion. It was as if over the years, she had become a stranger, leaving no trace of herself in the Jiang Family.
The rattle-drum and cloth tiger that Jiang Li dug up were indeed toys that Yueer had once played with, and there was even a swaddle. Aunt Hu knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, only saying, "Yueer, Yueer..." her cries piercingly sharp.
