314 Killing His Mother

“Shut up! I think you’re unrepentant! If we were in the village, we would have sunk you into the pond! You can’t even enter the Jiang family’s ancestral grave!” Jiang Si rebuked angrily. He took the stick personally and hit Yang Fen with his own hands.

Yang Fen wailed. Jiang Si was a scholar, so he was not as strong as the man just now. However, in Yang Fen’s heart, this was much more painful than just now. He was her biological son, the son she had loved all her life. She held him in her hands. How many people’s hearts had been broken for this son? However, what had she gotten in return? Yang Fen was in despair. Her whole body trembled, and she only hated that she was blind.

Jiang Si could not take it anymore after two hits. The stick fell, and his head was still injured, so his physical strength could not keep up. Just as the crowd was about to step forward and end this farce with a few words of persuasion, the situation suddenly changed. Yang Fen, who was lying on the ground with her last breath, suddenly got up and rushed toward Jiang Si, “You evil creature, I’m going to kill you!” Yang Fen howled and charged at Jiang Si with infinite power.

Jiang Si was still young and had quick reflexes. He threw Yang Fen away on the spot. With a plop, he threw her onto an iron hook of the blacksmith’s shop across the street. The hook went through her chest.

Jiang Si could not stand steadily either and crashed into a stone at the side. He felt a numbing pain in his lower body and a sharp pain in a certain part of his body, but Yang Fen’s death made him ignore the discomfort. He had killed Yang Fen with his own hands. He had killed his own mother!

Jiang Si’s body went soft and his face turned pale as he looked at Yang Fen in a daze. Yang Fen’s eyes were wide open, as if she had died with her eyes open. She kept looking in the direction of Jiang Si.

The commoners in the crowd did not expect such a turn of events either. They all looked at Jiang Si in shock and a moment later, there was an uproar.

“Jiang Si, are you crazy? You really are an animal! The empress’ remark to you is indeed true! If you don’t deserve to be a human, how can you be an official?” Zhuang Heng’s expression changed. He stepped forward to check on yang Fen’s condition, but unfortunately, she wasn’t even breathing.

“You… Y-you… You don’t deserve to be a human, and you don’t deserve to be a son! No matter how big of a mistake your mother committed, it’s not your place to end her life! Even if she had to be sank into the pond or be caned to death, you shouldn’t be the one doing it!” Someone stood up and accused Jiang Si, “You killed your mother! Animal! You’re an animal!”

There were curses everywhere, all of them cursing Jiang Si. Placing righteousness before family sounded nice, but if one did not do it in moderation, then they were animals! Moreover, Jiang Si had killed his mother with his own hands!

Jiang Si fell to the ground with a pale face.

Outside the crowd, Jiang Guoyou, who had just arrived Jing City, was squeezing through the crowd with his bags.

“How is this family going to live in the future? His wife and son are like this…”

“What a misfortune for their family. I don’t know what sin that man has committed to have found such a wife.”

The discussion in the crowd continued. Jiang Guoyou, who was standing at the outermost, was sweating with his son and daughter-in-law.

“Jiang Er, you should leave quickly. Your mother might be waiting anxiously at home. We haven’t seen each other for half a year. She must miss us. You know your mother’s character. If she misses home, we’ll bring her home this time.” Jiang Guoyou walked forward anxiously, but there were too many people. Fortunately, his legs had almost recovered, and his body was much nimbler now. The injury on his leg was almost invisible, and his clothes were much better than before, making him look much more energetic.

“My mother doesn’t want to go back. In Jing City, there are maidservants serving her and eating big fish and meat. How would she want to go back to the village to farm? I’m not leaving this time either. I want to live the life of a rich family. You said that Jiang Si would help us when he’s successful, so it’s our turn to enjoy the good fortune now.” Jiang Er pouted. Everything in the family was given to Jiang Si. Their mother had said that when Jiang Si was successful, he would return everything to them.

Jiang Guoyou frowned and did not want to talk about this matter anymore. He only urged Jiang Er to walk quickly.
