Chapter 8: Jiang Tianyu's Conspiracy
Since the news of Jiangnan's death came out, both famous families and ordinary people can see their faces full of smiles.
The entire Phantom Moon City was shrouded in a festive atmosphere, but there was only one place, a lady with pear blossoms and rain was still secretly sobbing.
This is a certain place in the Jiang family's mansion, and the weeping woman is Jiangnan's mother, Bai Qing.
At this time, Bai Qing was sitting on the bed in Jiangnan's former room, holding the clothes that Jiang Nan had worn in his hand, crying alone.
She can't admit the fact that Jiangnan is dead!
"Ma'am!!" A cry came from far away, interrupting Bai Qing's thoughts.
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl hurriedly trotted over, and Bai Qing recognized that this was her and Jiangnan's personal maid, who had served the mother and son for more than three or four years.
Bai Qing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, calmed down her emotions, looked at the girl who came and said, "Lu'er, why are you in such a hurry?"
The maid called Lu'er ran to Bai Qing, looking at the traces on Bai Qing's face that had not yet dissipated, Lu'er sighed in her heart, Madame must have cried again!
Since the death of the third young master, the lady has stayed in the third young master's room without eating or drinking, and it has been four or five hours.
She has been five years old since she was sold to the Jiang family as a maid, and the lady and the young master have never beaten and scolded themselves as low-level subordinates, but have taken care of themselves in every way, the death of the third young master made the lady so sad, and Lu'er's heart was also extremely uncomfortable.
"Madame, the eldest lady is back and wants to visit you!"
Lu'er walked to Bai Qing's side, took Bai Qing's arm, and whispered.
"Miss, Jiang Xi is back?" Bai Qing asked rhetorically, her voice was small and sounded weak.
Jiang Xi, the only daughter of Jiang Tiancheng, the head of the Jiang family, is twenty-eight years old this year, and she is also Jiangnan's cousin.
When Jiang Xi was ten years old, he entered the Xuanhuang Sect to cultivate with the cultivation of the Gathering Spirit Realm, and in terms of talent, Jiang Xi was not worse than Jiangnan, or even stronger than Jiangnan.
It has been eight years since Jiang Xi joined the Xuanhuang Sect, and he has never returned to the Jiang family during this period, Bai Qing naturally hasn't seen Jiang Xi for eight years, and now he suddenly returned to the Jiang family for some reason!
"Madam, do you want to see you?" she knew that Bai Qing was in a bad mood now, so she asked very carefully.
"Let's see!" Bai Qing said in a low voice.
Jiang Xi had a good relationship with Jiang Nan before he went to Xuanhuang Sect to cultivate, both of them were geniuses, and they were still cousins and brothers, Jiang Xi had taken Jiang Nan to practice and play together since he was a child.
Bai Qing did not reject this niece, but liked it very much.
"Then I'll go and ask the eldest lady to come over!" Lu'er hurriedly stood up and was about to reply to Jiang Xi.
"No need!" a soft and crisp voice came from outside the door, and I saw a beautiful figure slowly walking into the door.
This is a very beautiful woman, tall, with a standard melon seed face, under the eyebrows are beautiful eyes like autumn water, waterfall-like long hair hangs down to the waist, wearing a pale yellow long skirt, Yingying willow waist is unbearable, a pair of slender and straight long legs slowly swaying with the footsteps, it is really a goddess-like beauty.
Bai Qing looked at the woman in front of him, but he didn't recognize it for a short time, but it was the beautiful woman who opened her mouth to speak, and Bai Qing suddenly realized.
"Xi'er came to visit her aunt, people can't be resurrected after death, and I ask my aunt to mourn and change!" Jiang Xi stood still in front of Bai Qing, saluted Bai Qingyingying, and said softly.
"Alas!" Bai Qing sighed and said sadly, "You know everything?"
Jiang Xi walked to the bed, slowly sat down beside Bai Qing, took Bai Qing's hand and put it in his jade hand, and comforted: "As soon as I returned home, my father told me about it. ”
"My cousin's death Xi'er is also very sad in my heart, but I believe that my cousin will not do such a rebellious thing! There must be another reason for this matter, if my aunt believes Xi'er, Xi'er will definitely find out about this matter and give my cousin a clean and fair life!"
Bai Qing shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't believe that Nan'er would do such a thing, but what happened that day was not only seen by Jiang Tianyu, but your father was also present at the time!"
"There are all the human and material evidence, who can restore Nan'er's innocence? Besides, the ancestor also passed down a decree to expel Nan'er from the Jiang family! Poor my son, he has no proper destination when he dies, he can only be the lonely soul and wild ghost, I hurt Nan'er!"
Bai Qing said, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Jiang Xi stretched out his hand to take Bai Qing in his arms, and kept patting Bai Qing's back with his hand, silently.
In fact, she doesn't know what to say, a woman's sixth sense makes her feel that this matter is far from so simple, she firmly believes that Jiangnan will not do this kind of thing that hurts nature and reason, but as Bai Qing said, the human and material evidence are all there, even if she wants to clear up her grievances for Jiangnan, she doesn't know where to start.
After a while, Bai Qing's emotions gradually calmed down, wiping away the tears on his face, Bai Qing took Jiang Xi's hand and asked.
"Is there something wrong with Xi'er's sudden return this time?"
"It's not a big deal, it just so happens that my cultivation has just broken through the Kaiyuan Realm, and I can't improve in a short time, so I just took this opportunity to go home and have a look!" Jiang Xi replied.
Bai Qing's divine sense swept towards Jiang Xi, and sure enough, she could feel that Jiang Xi's cultivation was far higher than her own! She was also a monk, but she had only gathered the eightfold cultivation of the spirit.
"If you want to say something, it's not a big deal, there are still two months before the Xuanhuang Sect accepts apprentices, and the master knows that I am just going back to Phantom Moon City, so I will be responsible for this apprenticeship competition, but there will be sect elders to assist me at that time!"
Bai Qing listened to Jiang Xi's words, and wept again. Jiang Nan's dream was to join the Xuanhuang Sect to cultivate, but now everything has been shattered.
Not far from Jiangnan's residence, this is the residence of Jiang Tianyu, the second eldest of the Jiang family.
Jiang Tianyu sat at the top of the place, and next to his right hand sat a middle-aged man who looked eight points similar to him, this person was not an outsider, it was Jiang Tianzhi, the third elder of the Jiang family, who had the cultivation of Kaiyuan Sixfold.
There were three young men standing under it, two men and one woman, among whom the woman was obese, looking at a weight of more than 200 catties, with colorful decorations on her body, wearing a long red dress, standing there stunned.
To the left and right of the woman stood a young man, both of whom looked similar, about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Among the three young boys and girls, who are now standing in the center is Jiang Tianyu's daughter Jiang Rou, and on the left and right are Jiang Tianzhi's two sons, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu.
To the left of Jiang Rou is Jiang Tianzhi's eldest son, Jiang Wen, who is less than eighteen years old, and the youngest son Jiang Wu, who has just passed his seventeenth birthday, has the sevenfold cultivation of the Gathering Spirit.
The cultivation of these two people is not as good as the dead Jiangnan, but they are slightly older than Jiangnan, so they are also known as the eldest son and second son of the Jiang family.
Speaking of the Jiang family, it is also the big family of Phantom Moon City.
The old family owner, that is, the ancestor of the Jiang family, has a total of four sons, the eldest son Jiang Tiancheng and the second son Jiang Tianyu have no male children under their knees, and they have a daughter Jiang Xi and Jiang Rou respectively.
The third son, Jiang Tianzhi, has two sons, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu. The fourth son's name is Jiang Tianhao, who is also Jiangnan's father, who suddenly disappeared when Jiang Nan was ten years old, but now there is no news.
The relationship between the four brothers was originally very good, but with the birth of Jiang Nan and the revelation of his cultivation talent, the relationship between the four became more and more estranged.
Jiang Tiancheng is okay, his daughter's talent is not weaker than Jiangnan, and she even worships the Xuanhuang Sect to practice, and her relationship with Jiangnan's family is not bad. And Jiang Tianyu and Jiang Tianzhi have a little resentment towards the Jiangnan family in their hearts.
In their generation, Jiang Tiancheng's cultivation is slightly better, so he is naturally the best choice for the head of the family. But as long as people have their own selfishness, no one can keep their hearts for the temptation of power.
Therefore, they pinned their hopes on future generations, but they didn't expect that the appearance of Jiangnan's cultivation talent was like a blow to the head, which was unfortunate news for Jiang Tianyu and Jiang Tianzhi.
Sixteen years of endurance finally broke out in one fell swoop!
That's right, Jiangnan's death was a conspiracy planned by these people in the room!
"Hahaha!" Jiang Tianzhi's eldest son, Jiang Wen, laughed loudly, and the smile on his face couldn't help but show it.
"That guy is finally dead, and I, Jiang Wen, finally have a chance to get ahead!"
"Big brother is right, Jiang Nan's existence is like a thorn in my heart! Now that Jiang Nan is dead, Phantom Moon City will be the world of you and my brothers!" Jiang Wu also said proudly.
As soon as Jiang Nan died, with the cultivation of the two brothers, they were all top-notch existences in the younger generation of the entire Phantom Moon City!
"Giggle...... My sister also congratulated the two younger brothers, but this time the plan can be realized, my sister is the biggest victim, if the two younger brothers become the head of the family in the future, don't forget my sister!" Jiang Rou pinched her throat and said softly.
However, this soft voice is just Jiang Rou's self-feeling, in the eyes of Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu, Jiang Rou's voice is not much compared to the wild ducks on the side of the road.
For this second sister, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu also felt extremely disgusted in their hearts, compared to them, they liked the fairy-like eldest sister very much.
It's a pity that the eldest sister Jiang Xi has had a good relationship with Jiangnan since she was a child, and she ignores their two younger brothers, and even if she meets, she just nods and doesn't even say a word to them.
Anyway, Jiang Rou paid the most for Jiang Nan's death this time, even if he felt disgusted in his heart, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu couldn't show it.
"What did the second sister say! This plan depends on the second sister sacrificing her life to help, otherwise we brothers don't know how long we will live in the shadow of Jiangnan!" Jiang Wen reported to Jiang Rou and said words of gratitude.
"What the eldest brother said is extremely true! If it weren't for the help of the second sister, it would be difficult for the two brothers to get ahead! It's just a pity that the second sister lost her innocence!"
"But don't worry, second sister, if one day my two brothers take the power of the Jiang family, they will not forget the second sister's contribution today!" Jiang Wu also echoed on the side.
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Tianyu waved his hand to interrupt the conversation between the three of them.
"Although Jiang Nan is dead, the three of you must not be happy too early! I heard from someone just now that Jiang Xi's little girl has returned to the Jiang family, and she already has the cultivation of the Kaiyuan Realm!"
"What!" Jiang Wen exclaimed loudly.
"Eldest sister is back, and it's already Kaiyuan Realm, then aren't we being crushed again!" Jiang Wu also said with a bitter face, and the excitement brought by Jiangnan's death disappeared in an instant.
"What's the panic!" Jiang Wen's father, Jiang Tianzhi, shouted: "It's just a Jiang Xi, look at what scares you! It's just a shame on my Jiang Tianzhi!"
"Father, the second uncle just said that the eldest sister is already a cultivator in the Kaiyuan Realm, since she has returned to the Jiang family, where is there a chance for our two brothers to turn over!" Jiang Wen retorted.
"You idiot!" Jiang Tianzhi gritted his teeth and scolded hatefully, feeling that he hated iron but not steel.
"Since the establishment of my Jiang family, when has there ever been a woman in charge of the family! Not to mention that he Jiang Xi has just entered the Kaiyuan Realm, even if it is the Dao Martial Realm, the position of the head of the family has nothing to do with her!"
"Now that I am the only man of the Jiang family, you two brothers, the future head of the Jiang family will inevitably be born from the two of you, you two idiots don't know what you're worried about!" Jiang Tianzhi scolded fiercely.
For Jiang Tianzhi's scolding, Jiang Wen and the others were not afraid at all, but they were excited.
Both of them saluted Jiang Tianzhi, bowed and said, "What my father taught!"
"Hmph!" Jiang Tianzhi snorted coldly, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Tianyu on the side.
"Okay! It's too early to say this!" Jiang Tianyu said in a deep voice with squinted eyes.
"Although Jiang Nan is dead, Jiang Xi has nothing to worry about! But if Jiang Tiancheng is not eliminated for a day, it will be impossible for the power of the Jiang family to be in our hands! The plan will continue!"
Jiang Tianyu's words made the whole scene quiet in an instant, no one answered, I don't know what they were thinking!
After a long time, Jiang Tianzhi took the lead in breaking the peace, only to see him look at Jiang Tianyu with a tangled face, and said slowly: "Second brother, do you have to do this?
Jiang Tianyu turned his head to look at his younger brother, and said expressionlessly, "Third brother, do you want to quit?"
"I didn't ...... I don't have this idea!" Jiang Tianzhi said in fear.
He was really scared, since he was a child, he knew that his second brother was ruthless and could do whatever it took to achieve his goals.
"Hmm!" Jiang Tianyu stared at Jiang Tianzhi and nodded slowly, and then said: "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope! The plan has begun, and there is no way back! If the plan is revealed, several of us will be doomed!"
After finishing speaking, Jiang Tianyu swept the faces of the four people without a trace of emotion, although he did not feel Jiang Tianyu's killing intent, but the four people present all felt a chill down their spines.
"Okay, let's go back!" Jiang Tianyu said with a wave of his hand, then leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.
The four of them didn't dare to stay for a moment, and after saluting, they turned around cautiously and left......
