In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 32 Reversal and Reversal

“Qingyue, stop making a scene. I know you’ve been through all this and your heart is filled with resentment. Luo Yu could have just ignored you, but he couldn’t escape his conscience and came to you anyway. What more do you want? Do you have to make this family a complete mess before you’re satisfied?”

Jiang An had felt sorry for Jiang Qingyue's situation, but Jiang Qingyue's words just now were really too harsh.

"Besides, why would there be bandits? Who knows if you caused trouble outside again, almost implicating Luo Yu, Luo Yun, and Chu Chu? Instead of reflecting on your actions, you're making a scene here for the people. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Ever since Jiang Qingyue returned, Jiang An felt like he hadn't had a single day of peace, all because of this unfilial daughter!

"Ha." Jiang Qingyue laughed angrily. "So, Father, you mean I brought this on myself? I should just swallow whatever grievances I suffer, and that would be the best thing for me. I can't even ask for justice. Fine, since I'm so annoying to Father, then I'll die today, and that will end it all, so I won't be an eyesore to you anymore."

After saying that, Jiang Qingyue rushed straight towards a stone lion at the entrance, startling everyone present.

Qin Xuanyu, who was watching the commotion, was startled when he saw Jiang Qingyue's actions. His actions were faster than his thoughts. He used his light footwork to step forward, grabbed Jiang Qingyue by the back of her collar, and pulled her back.

This guy didn't even give any warning before pulling this move.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and they were even more convinced that Qin Xuanyu had rescued Jiang Qingyue from the bandits. After all, such skill was not something an ordinary person could do.

"Prime Minister Jiang, how could you be so heartless as to try to force your own daughter to her death?"

“I heard something at the last birthday banquet that the Prime Minister’s family only dotes on this fake daughter as if she were their real daughter, while the real daughter lives worse than a servant.”

"Really?" Some people who weren't paying attention to the situation didn't know.

"It's true! One of my brothers is an official in the imperial court and happened to be there. He was furious."

"This Prime Minister Jiang is too muddle-headed."

Jiang An didn't expect Jiang Qingyue to pull this trick on him, "You you you..."

Jiang Qingyue simply slumped to the ground, her eyes lifeless, as if her soul had been ripped out. There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart; that perfectly describes her.

Jiang Luoyu never expected things to turn out this way, but now that things have come to this, Jiang Qingyue absolutely cannot get away unscathed.

"Jiang Qingyue, you brought all of this on yourself. You were the one who didn't tolerate Chu Chu first. Otherwise, why would we treat you like this? If you want to die, then die. Anyway, we haven't wronged you."

Jiang Luoyu decided to go all out. Although she would be criticized, it would only last for a while. But if Jiang Qingyue was left behind, wouldn't people keep bringing it up for gossip? It was better to end it all.

"Nonsense!"

A loud voice rang out, and a spirited woman was seen holding three ropes, leading three burly men whose hands were tied behind her.

It turned out to be Mu Lan.

Jiang Qingyue had instructed her to pretend to go out, then observe who Jiang Luoyu met with afterward.

As a result, she saw Jiang Luoyu return with Jiang Luoyun and Jiang Chuchu that evening, but did not see Jiang Qingyue.

She was so anxious that she wanted to go up and question him directly, but thinking of Jiang Qingyue's instructions, she was afraid of disrupting Jiang Qingyue's plans. So she stared at Jiang Luoyu with trepidation. As a result, she saw that in the middle of the night, he found the three big men, gave them money, and then it seemed that an argument broke out.

She didn't dare get too close, afraid of being discovered, so she didn't hear what they were saying.

After Jiang Luoyu left, she drugged the three burly men, tied them up, and interrogated them about their deal with Jiang Luoyu. Only then did she learn that Jiang Qingyue had been murdered.

She wanted to go and search for him, but she happened to run into Qin Xuanyu's men. She learned that Jiang Qingyue was unharmed and that everything had been arranged, which put her at ease, leading to the current situation.

When she saw the狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) expression on Jiang Qingyue's face, she exclaimed, "Miss, your face..."

She was furious that she hadn't protected her young lady, and vented all her anger on the three burly men, kicking them several times. Then, she glared angrily at Jiang Luoyu, "Second Young Master Jiang, how dare you lie like this?"

The moment Jiang Luoyu saw the three burly men, he knew it was all over. His carefully cultivated reputation would likely be ruined today.

No, no, absolutely not!

He met Mulan's gaze defiantly, "You're just a maid, what right do you have to question your master? Is this how your master taught you?"

Jiang Luoyu decided to take the initiative and turn the tables.

Having served by ***'s side for so many years, how could Mu Lan not see through Jiang Luoyu now? She was nothing but a showy but useless person.

"But my master would at least not make me hire someone to kill!"

"what?"

"How did it turn into a hired murder? Did I miss something or not hear it?"

"My God, today's shocking news is truly one after another!"

Jiang Luoyu clenched her fists. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Mu Lan didn't speak, but instead tugged at the three burly men behind her. The leader stepped forward and said, "She wasn't talking nonsense. It was you, Jiang Luoyu, who gave us money to kidnap Miss Jiang Qingyue and scare her."

The scene erupted in chaos. "What? No way!"

"My God, I thought at most he would just stand by and watch someone die, after all, it's human nature to protect oneself first, which is understandable. But he actually hired someone to kill someone, it's absolutely insane!"

"that is!"

Jiang Qingyue looked incredulous, covered her mouth, and took a few steps back. "Second... Jiang Luoyu, is what they said true? Is it true?"

Jiang Qingyue looked as if she had suffered a huge blow.

Even Jiang Chuchu and Jiang Luoyun found it hard to believe, especially Jiang Luoyun, who looked deeply shocked.

He simply couldn't believe that his second brother, whom he had always admired, would do such a heinous thing.

"Slander! Pure slander! Jiang Qingyue and her group must have bribed these people to frame me! Qingyue, how could you do this?"

Jiang Luoyu even tried to smear Jiang Qingyue with righteous indignation.

"Pah! You dare to do it but not admit it. You bribed me to help you threaten and scare Jiang Qingyue, and then you came out to play the hero and save the beauty. From then on, Jiang Qingyue would listen to you and you could control her. No one would be able to take away Jiang Chuchu's identity."

But something unexpected happened. Before we even arrived, the real bandits showed up, disrupting your plans. You just abandoned them and ran away, refusing to give us the remaining money, saying we didn't do our job properly—you're both wicked and stingy!

"Bullshit, how could you know it's me if my face is covered?"

Suddenly, a deathly silence fell...
