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

Chapter 16 God's Last Shot

Yes, Jiang Qingyue is right. If she really wanted to scare people, why would she make her room so dirty?

Jiang An was speechless, but he couldn't admit his mistake either. His face turned pale and then flushed, which was quite a sight.

Seeing that Jiang Qingyue had turned the situation around with just a few words, Jiang Chuchu was not about to let go of the opportunity she had finally seized.

She turned and looked gently at Jiang Luoyun, who was hiding behind her. "Luoyun, come here. Tell us, did your sister scare you? Speak up, and we'll all help you!"

Jiang Luoyun, who had been watching the commotion from the back, was stunned when Jiang Chuchu pulled her out of the picture.

He instinctively looked at Jiang Qingyue, only to find her staring at him expressionlessly. The fear he had just felt overwhelmed him again, and his face turned deathly pale. He avoided Jiang Qingyue's gaze and said, "I...I don't know anything."

Seeing Jiang Luoyun's appearance, Jiang Chuchu became even more certain that Jiang Qingyue must have done something, otherwise, given Jiang Luoyun's mischievous nature, how could she be so frightened?

"Luo Yun, tell me! Don't be afraid!" Jiang Chuchu acted like a good older sister.

"Luo Yun, tell me, what's the point of a real man being so hesitant?" Although Jiang Luoyu had already guessed that this was probably related to him, he couldn't figure out why it had turned out this way.

But now that the die is cast, there's no turning back.

"I..." Jiang Luoyun found it difficult to speak, and couldn't help but feel resentment towards Jiang Chuchu.

It's all her fault. No matter how I explain, she won't believe me and insists on telling my uncle and second brother, which has led to this mess.

"Really, no, you're making a fuss over nothing. I just slipped and fell, and there happened to be a puddle, so that's why I look like this. It's nothing serious, and it has nothing to do with... Jiang Qingyue." Jiang Luoyun had no choice but to explain again.

Jiang Chuchu didn't understand why Jiang Luoyun was covering for Jiang Qingyue. Did she have something on him?

However, even if there were any, she wouldn't let Jiang Qingyue off easily this time. "Poor Luo Yun, he's being bullied and doesn't even dare to speak up. Father, you must stand up for him!"

“That’s right, Luo Yun, you don’t need to speak up for your unfilial daughter. She should take responsibility for what she did, and I will punish her. Look, she’s not saying anything, isn’t that tacit agreement?”

In just a few words, a few people directly pinned a crime on Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue's explanation was seen as sophistry, while her silence was seen as tacit admission. This viewpoint made the surrounding servants feel uncomfortable and sorry for her, as they thought she was easy to bully.

"Father, I think you can go to the Dali Temple. You can convict someone in just a few words. The speed of your trial is probably unmatched." Jiang Qingyue laughed loudly, her tone full of undisguised sarcasm, and her heart was filled with boundless sorrow.

Look, Jiang Qingyue, these are the relatives you desperately wanted to please in your past life...

She didn't want to waste her breath on these brainless people. Jiang Luoyun wouldn't admit it, but they were bound to keep bothering her endlessly.

She turned and smiled at Jiang Luoyun, "My dear...brother, you tell me, did I do it? It's okay, they're all on your side, you can speak up!"

The familiar smile reminded Jiang Luoyun of Jiang Qingyue's devilish smile and her threat to throw poisonous insects onto her bed in the middle of the night. A chill ran down her spine. She closed her eyes, then decided to take the plunge.

“It was me. I did all of this. I couldn’t stand Jiang Qingyue, so I used these things to scare her. It was all me. That’s the truth.”

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Jiang Chuchu was surprised that Jiang Luoyun would tell the truth, and Jiang An was also surprised that this matter really had nothing to do with Jiang Qingyue, leaving him in an awkward position.

Although Jiang Luoyu had guessed it before, she didn't expect Jiang Luoyun to dare to say it out loud, and she couldn't help but frown.

"Sister, what did you mean by what you just said and what you looked at? Were you threatening Luo Yun? How could you do that? He's just a child!"

Jiang Chuchu was unwilling to let Jiang Qingyue clear her name so easily, and with a hint of ulterior motive, she wanted to throw the mud at Jiang Qingyue again.

"She didn't threaten me." Jiang Luoyun was devastated. Why didn't anyone believe her? "I did it all, please stop asking!" Jiang Luoyun was frantic.

"Alright, stop defending Qingyue. You've been wronged today, and your uncle will give you an explanation." Jiang An waved his hand, preparing to deal with Jiang Qingyue.

"I've said it's not her, it's not her, it's not her! I've said it so many times! I've said it's not her, but you insist it is. Why won't you believe me?"

This was the first time Jiang Luoyun had ever been so devastated; it was the first time he had ever experienced what it meant to be utterly speechless.

"Alright, alright, Luo Yun, don't get agitated. It's all my fault. It's all because of me. I shouldn't have made such a fuss." Jiang Chuchu's tears welled up instantly.

"It's Jiang Qingyue being unreasonable, what does it have to do with you?" Jiang Luoyu felt sorry for Jiang Chuchu being so sensible.

"It's all my fault, sister. Don't blame Luo Yun. If you have to blame someone, blame me. I'll do anything you want. Don't blame Luo Yun."

"Okay, then, can you help me clean all this up?" Jiang Qingyue wasn't going to put up with her.

Jiang Chuchu was dumbfounded, "You..."

"Didn't you say that?" Jiang Qingyue wanted to see how long Jiang Chuchu could keep up the act.

"Alright, we're all family, Qingyue, why are you being so aggressive?" Jiang Luoyu couldn't stand it anymore.

"You guys? Really? If you hadn't said so, I would have thought you were the family!" Jiang Qingyue retorted sarcastically.

"You..." These words wouldn't have been so bad if they came from someone else, but coming from Jiang Qingyue, Jiang Chuchu felt a strong sense of sarcasm, and her face flushed red.

Seeing Jiang Chuchu cry, Jiang Luoyu's face instantly hardened. "Jiang Qingyue, don't push your luck!" Jiang Luoyu was extremely dissatisfied. Regardless of the details of the matter, Chuchu was innocent!

"Second Brother." Jiang Chuchu tugged at Jiang Luoyu's hand timidly, "I'm fine. It's my fault. I shouldn't have made such a fuss."

"What did you do wrong? It's Jiang Qingyue who's being unreasonable." Jiang Luoyu quickly coaxed Jiang Chuchu.

Jiang Luoyun: ...No, why is this going so wrong? How did it become Sister Chuchu's fault?

Jiang Luoyun was still young and didn't understand the intricacies of the situation. Thinking Jiang Chuchu was blaming herself, she disregarded her fear and quickly added...

“Yes, sister, it’s not your fault. I was the one who wanted to scare Jiang Qingyue.” After saying that, he seemed to have gone all out. “Uncle, punish me. I just didn’t like Jiang Qingyue, so I bought these things to scare her. My sister was there at the time and can testify to that. She tried to persuade me, but I was stubborn.”

Everyone: "..."

Jiang Qingyue almost burst out laughing. Jiang Luoyun, you really did a great job, you did a good job. Look at Jiang Chuchu's face, it turned pale instantly.
