Chapter 2: Ancestral Hall
"Second uncle, second aunt, did you misunderstand something, what did I do to my sister, let you two criticize me like this." Jiang Li pretended to be innocent, and his eyes were full of confusion.
Hearing Jiang Li's refusal, Liu Xue changed her crying tone, pointed at her nose and scolded: "Jiang Li, don't pretend to me, Lian'er said it herself, it was you who beat her with a stick, and the murder weapon is now in my father's hand, and my father asked us to invite you to the ancestral hall." ”
Jiang Tao still had a dark face: "Hurry up, father is waiting for you now, you'd better give an explanation, otherwise something happened to my Lian'er, and I want you to be buried with you." ”
Jiang Li was stunned, she didn't expect that this matter would involve the rumored iron-faced and selfless grandfather, the couple would actually ask their grandfather to come out to administer justice, and this grandfather actually agreed so happily.
Three years ago, the grandfather did not come forward about his father's loss of family property, but directly handed over the matter to the second uncle to deal with, and his father was not allowed to get involved, and now for the sake of a Jiang Lian, he came out like this.
Could it be that in his eyes, Jiang Lian, a concubine, is not as good as his father's sister-in-law?
Jiang Li has very few things about her grandfather in her memory, so Jiang Li is very nervous now, and she clenched her fists unnaturally because of nervousness. She followed her second uncle and second aunt to the ancestral hall.
There are many people in the ancestral hall, most of them are elderly, and at first glance they are elders at the level of elders.
Jiang Li saw at a glance that the one standing in the middle was standing with his hands in his hands, his body was erect, and he was holding a stick in his hand. With his pale hair, she was sure that this person was her grandfather Jiang Qing at a glance.
Sure enough, it is majestic and domineering, and this back looks like a temperament accumulated over a long period of time, as long as you go to that station, it is enough for people to look up.
Jiang Li faced this battle, although she was beating a drum in her heart, her face was silent, she stood upright, looking at the grandfather who didn't turn around.
"Dad, she's here." Jiang Tao walked up to Jiang Qing and said very respectfully.
Jiang Qing turned around when he heard this, a pair of tiger eyes that were not angry and self-righteous were daunting, he stared at Jiang Li directly, and he couldn't believe that the weak little girl of the old family would be the murderer of the beater.
And beat people so badly, how much strength is this?
"Jiang Li." Jiang Qing's voice was full of majesty and domineering, making people tremble unnaturally, if it was Jiang Li before, she would definitely be so frightened that she knelt down directly, but now she won't.
"The granddaughter is here." Jiang Li was slightly possessed, and her face was as usual.
Jiang Qing was surprised when he saw Jiang Li's fearless appearance, is this still his weak granddaughter who cries when she sees him? Although there is suspicion in my heart, it is still important to get down to business.
"The second family said that you beat her and seriously injured her, but is there such a thing?"
Jiang Li was straight, looking directly at Jiang Qing with a pair of beautiful eyes, not afraid at all, and she didn't dodge his question at all.
"I fought it, but I was only defending myself."
"What? It's really you who beat my daughter, you who killed a thousand knives, we're sorry for you, you have to do this kind of ruthless action. As soon as Liu Xue heard Jiang Li admit it, where could she hear the last half of her words, she hated so much that she wanted to crush Jiang Li's bones and ashes, and raised her sleeves to slap Jiang Li's face, but was stopped by Jiang Tao on the side.
"Okay, my father has his own decision in this matter, he will give us justice, don't get involved." Jiang Tao hugged Liu Xue, afraid that she would do something impulsively, but his eyes fell on Jiang Li viciously. When Liu Xue heard this, she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of her father-in-law, so she could only wait and see what happened.
Regarding Liu Xue's crying, Jiang Li was unmoved, and stood dry, with a straight back: "I will admit what I do." ”
Jiang Qing was very surprised, and the tiger looked at him, the granddaughter of the big house, with deep inquiry, and he couldn't figure out about her.
"Since you admit it, then this matter will be easy to handle, all the elders are here today, you can be a witness, it was she herself who admitted to beating people, not us who forced her." Jiang Qing said this, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, as if the granddaughter in front of him was just a stranger.
The elders began to talk, and finally one of the oldest stood up and spoke.
"The state-owned national law family has family rules, and our Jiang family ancestral hall also has the rules of the Jiang family ancestral hall. Jiang Li shot and injured people, behaved badly, and according to the rules, he fought twenty times. ”
As soon as the elder's words fell, Jiang Li's brows furrowed, it turned out that Jiang Lian didn't dare to bully people in person, there was such a rule, this time she hurt her, so she immediately notified her grandfather and invited the elder, this was deliberate.
Scold!
So she Jiang Lian has hurt her for so many years, and the new hatred and old hatred on her body are counted, and I don't know who suffers, thinking of this, Jiang Li puffed up her chest, looked directly at Jiang Qing, and asked in a deep voice.
"Grandpa, elders, I am willing to be punished for the wrong things I have done."
Hearing this, Jiang Tao and Liu Xue on the side flashed a trace of pride in their eyes, these twenty spine battles had to kill her, it was best to die, save trouble.
Jiang Qing and the elders admired her attitude, punishing if they made mistakes, correcting them when they knew them, and having a good attitude, so that their vanity was respected.
"But if someone beats or insults a person for a long time, what happens according to the house rules?"
Jiang Qing and the elders looked at each other, noncommittal.
Jiang Qing said with a calm face: "This kind of behavior is extremely bad, enough to be kicked out of the house and cut off the Jiang family tree forever." ”
The elders nodded in agreement.
One of the elders said: "This kind of thing will not happen in the Jiang family, we have always followed the ancestral teachings, and we have also educated the juniors in this way. ”
Another elder said, "Yes, the juniors especially follow the ancestral precepts, and they will definitely not do anything that violates the family rules, except for ......."
The elder suddenly stopped talking, he looked at Jiang Li's eyes, everyone knew it, but he didn't make his words clear.
Jiang Li didn't say anything, just smiled, she thought it was ridiculous, Jiang Lian, an inconsistent person, actually said that she followed the ancestral teachings?
"Really?" Jiang Li's smile was a little infiltrating.
Jiang Qing looked at her smile and felt that something was wrong, just when he was about to speak, Jiang Li made a surprising move.
She took off her coat in public, revealing her shoulders and back, as well as the two next door, only to see that the new and old wounds on the skin and flesh were all over her body, and there were the scars left by Jiang Lian's beating of the original owner to death just now, and now she was still bleeding, and every scar was shocking, but you can imagine how strong that person was.
Jiang Li didn't know that there would be so many scars on his body, thinking that the original owner had been injured before, he only felt sad, and he still showed mercy to Jiang Lian's subordinates.
"This ......" Jiang Qing looked at Jiang Li's actions and felt panicked, and just wanted to curse to stop it, but when he saw the body that didn't have a piece of good skin, the words fell in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
