Chapter 479: The Truth About the Incident Back Then

"Mom..."

Lu Qing'er suddenly spoke up and called out to Xia Huiya.

No sooner had the words left her lips than she received a warning glare.

Lu Qing'er immediately shut her mouth obediently and said nothing more.

Only then did Xia Huiya withdraw her gaze and continue to the Old Madam Jiang: "I suddenly thought of saying these things today, and it's not that I mean anything else by it; I just suddenly feel a bit of pity. That unlucky eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of yours... if they were still alive, I'm afraid the Jiang Family wouldn't have ended up in this state today. It's just a pity, they are both dead, and..."

Xia Huiya paused for a moment, her tone suddenly turning vicious as she gritted her teeth and said: "And they deserved to die!"

"Xia Huiya! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Hearing her rambling, the Old Madam Jiang felt dizzy with rage, her chest heaving incessantly.

The matter of her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law had always been a pain in her heart.

Seeing her angry, Xia Huiya not only didn't restrain herself, but instead stood up straight and walked quickly toward the Old Madam Jiang.

"What? Did I say something wrong? They deserved to die! Your two most beloved sons, one dead and one injured—do you think that by relying on that little wench Jiang Baobao now, you can turn things around? Let me tell you, she can't possibly defeat me!"

"Mom!"

Hearing her say these things, Lu Qing'er was momentarily at a loss.

Xia Huiya, however, couldn't be bothered to pay her any mind, carefully observing the Old Madam Jiang's condition.

The Old Madam Jiang's palms were trembling, cold sweat was seeping from her forehead, and the color of her lips had also become somewhat abnormal.

"Xia Huiya... you..." She kept gasping for air, pointing a finger at Xia Huiya, but she couldn't say another word.

Xia Huiya gave a light scoff, having already made up her mind.

"Old Madam, since you've already found your way here, no matter what you came here for today, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave..."

Xia Huiya said in a grim tone, giving both people present a fright.

Lu Qing'er's eyes widened in terror.

What is Mom planning to do... kill to silence her?

The Old Madam Jiang's expression was stiff; she had clearly thought of this too, but she couldn't bring herself to believe it.

Immediately after, she heard Xia Huiya suddenly continue with a smile: "Since things have reached this point, then... I might as well tell you something else interesting. Do you know why... Xia Xuerou and the others had that car accident back then?"

"Car... car accident..."

The Old Madam Jiang's expression was pained; she clutched her chest tightly, a thought flashing through her mind like lightning.

Could it be that the car accident back then wasn't an accident!

It was Xia Huiya...

"That's right, it was me."

Xia Huiya saw right through what the Old Madam Jiang was thinking and admitted it quite straightforwardly.

After finishing, she laughed wildly.

"Do you know how happy I was when I saw their two corpses?"

Xia Huiya's expression was manic; speaking of this, her eyes were filled with satisfaction.

"Why? Why on earth did you do that? They were your own sisters..."

The Old Madam Jiang's face was deathly pale, filled with disbelief.

Back when Xia Xuerou was still alive, the relationship between the two sisters was clearly very good; how could she...

"Own sisters?"

The smile on Xia Huiya's face vanished abruptly, and her tone turned icy: "What a fine 'own sister'! When did she ever consider my feelings? Since I was little, I couldn't compare to her in anything, and even the man I liked, the person she liked was also her! I wasn't reconciled to that at the time, thinking I had to marry into a family stronger than the Jiang Family, but I didn't expect the Jiang Family's business to rise step by step. I didn't want to be compared to her anymore, so... it was better to make them both disappear!"

"Xia Huiya! You... you..."

The Old Madam Jiang was so shocked by her viciousness that she couldn't speak, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid and chaotic. For a moment, she lost her balance, stumbled against a cabinet, and fell to the ground.

Lu Qing'er stood to the side, dumbfounded, unable to believe what she had just heard.

Jiang Baobao's parents... it was actually Mom...

Xia Huiya looked coldly at the Old Madam Jiang sitting on the floor and slowly squatted down.

Seeing the Old Madam Jiang's face turning faintly blue, she smiled with satisfaction and continued: "Actually, when the car accident first happened, neither of them died..."

The Old Madam Jiang's hand clutching her chest tightened abruptly.

Xia Huiya whispered like a demon: "At that time, the front of the car was already crushed and deformed. Your good son tried hard to crawl out of the car, wanting to find help, but it's a pity it was the middle of the night and pitch black... no one could help him at all, and I wouldn't allow anyone to help him either. So he didn't find any help and just breathed his last lying on the road like that. As for Xia Xuerou... she was too badly injured; she didn't wait long in the car before she died too... tsk tsk tsk... what a pair of star-crossed lovers..."

"You... you..."

The Old Madam Jiang was covered in cold sweat and was already extremely weak.

She glared at Xia Huiya, able only to repeat one word, her heart feeling as if it were being twisted together, her whole body trembling with pain.

"What about me?"

Xia Huiya's expression was sharp: "I kindly told you the truth; you should be grateful to me. As for Jiang Chenghao, you should also be clear that I did that too..."

No sooner had her words fallen than the Old Madam Jiang suddenly shuddered violently!

With a muffled "thump"!

Lu Qing'er was startled back to her senses by this sound and hurried forward, only to see the Old Madam Jiang convulsing all over.

"Mom, she... what is this..."

Lu Qing'er instinctively wanted to step forward.

"Don't touch her!"

Xia Huiya barked a command to stop her, looking at the Old Madam Jiang with a cold expression.

She had succeeded.

This old woman couldn't possibly handle the shock of the truth from back then!

The Old Madam Jiang collapsed on the ground, her heart in unbearable pain, and with trembling hands, she pulled a small bottle of medicine from her pocket.

Her hands were shaking violently; she used all her strength just to grip the medicine bottle.

But before she could even open the lid...

A foot kicked fiercely against the back of her hand!

"Clang!"

The medicine bottle instantly fell to the ground and rolled, clattering toward the corner of the wall!

Old Mrs. Jiang widened her eyes abruptly, staring fixedly at Xia Huiya before her, her eyes filled only with shock, anger, and unwillingness.

Xia Huiya was expressionless, her fists clenched tightly, not daring to miss a single trace of Old Mrs. Jiang's expression.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Old Mrs. Jiang gasped for air in large gulps, her eyes widening further and further, her eyeballs, clouded with a trace of blood, nearly popping out of their sockets.

After an unknown amount of time, the hand she held over her chest finally stiffened abruptly.

Immediately afterward, she fell heavily to the floor.

Only her eyes remained, still staring in the direction of Xia Huiya.

She died with her eyes wide open in resentment.

The study returned to silence.

Lu Qing'er's face turned deathly pale, and she spoke with a tremble: "Mom... she... she..."

It was her first time seeing a dead person, and she was so nervous that she began to dry-heave.

Xia Huiya, however, let out a sigh of relief, grabbed Lu Qing'er, and walked toward the door, saying in a gloomy tone: "Qing'er, the old lady of the Jiang Family came to the study to steal things and was caught red-handed by us, which is why she had a heart attack. Do you remember?"
