But now, this family of three had the audacity to bite back!
There was a world of difference between stepping forward voluntarily and being pushed out.
At that moment, Doctor Jiang’s anger was ignited.
The ugliness of human nature was fully displayed!
"Woo woo!" Doctor Jiang painfully struggled.
"Do you have something to say?" Ni Yang asked softly, lowering her eyes.
"Woo woo!" Doctor Jiang nodded.
Ni Yang slowly released her, "Fine, then I’ll let you speak your mind."
Doctor Jiang fell to the ground with a thud, her neck now marked by five distinct finger marks, gasping heavily. Regaining a bit of strength, she backhanded Zheng Lingling with a slap!
"Slap!"
"I’ll kill you today, you ungrateful daughter! I worked tirelessly to bring you from M Country to Beijing, to give you the life of a pampered lady, to eat and drink well every day! And this is how you repay me! Wretch! You’re just a wretch! The one who deserves to go to hell, the one who deserves to be fried in oil is you! Wretch!"
Zheng Lingling was first slapped by Doctor Jiang, then wrestled with her.
In that instant, all blood relations and familial love disintegrated.
Shattered!
"It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for your disgraceful schemes of replacing the peach with the plum and the baby-swapping, I would never have ended up in the Zheng family! If I hadn’t come to the Zheng family, I wouldn’t have been haunted by evil spirits today! I wouldn’t have been haunted, and our family of three wouldn’t be in mortal danger! It’s all your fault! All because of you, you evil woman!"
"Ungrateful daughter! Ungrateful daughter!" Doctor Jiang angrily said, "I, Jiang Yan, have been clever all my life, only to find that I’ve raised a thankless wretch! Today, I will strangle you to cleanse our Jiang family!"
She had tried her best to give Zheng Lingling a good life, yet, instead of being grateful, Zheng Lingling had blamed her!
Thankless wretches!
All of them, thankless wretches!
"Scoundrel! You don’t deserve to be my daughter!"
Doctor Jiang was truly furious, her handling of Zheng Lingling’s hair messy and chaotic, with broken hair all over the floor.
The air was tinged with a faint smell of blood.
Fearing that Zheng Lingling might get hurt, Sun Wu also joined in.
The three wrestled together.
Bang bang bang!
Surrounding vases and antique pieces shattered.
At some unknown moment, the crystal lamp above their heads turned on, but the brawlers did not notice and continued to scuffle.
"Someone! Close the door!" An aged yet powerful voice echoed through the air.
Then came the sound of orderly footsteps.
"Bang!"
All doors and windows of the Side Hall were shut.
Then, seen approaching from the doorway were Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui, supporting Elder Zheng and his wife.
"Grandpa, Grandma." Ni Yang removed the mask from her face.
The people on the ground only then realized, looking incredulously ahead.
Zheng Xianjing stared at Ni Yang and said, "You, you’re not a ghost?"
Ni Yang slightly curved her lips, "Of course, I am not."
"You didn’t die?" Zheng Xianjing widened her eyes.
Ni Yang lightly raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?"
In that instant.
Zheng Xianjing’s blood ran cold, even more frightened than when she first saw a ghost!
Because she knew.
She was done!
She was truly done!
