Chapter 165: The Laughingstock of the Entire Household

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's gaze was calm and deep, yet radiating an authority that could not be ignored.

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's appearance was like a spark falling into a powder keg, instantly detonating Jun Jun Yiyi.

A sense of crisis rose in Jun Jun Yiyi's heart; wherever Seeing Jun Jun Zijin was, she had never once gained the upper hand.

Jun Jun Yiyi's eyes, which seemed capable of spewing flames, stared straight at Seeing Jun Jun Zijin. Her inner rage burned ever fiercer; she pointed at Seeing Jun Jun Zijin and shouted in accusation:

"What do you mean by that? What have we done?"

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed directly on Jun Jun Yiyi, and said:

"Big Sister, can you restrain your anger a little? The entire household has been ruined by you; I fear even the sky would be burned through by you."

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin wore an innocent expression, yet his tone carried three parts disdain and three parts mockery.

"There is no wall that does not let wind through. You and your mother have done nothing but evil; one day your filthy schemes will be discovered. Even if you have plotted every trick, there will eventually be a time when your foot slips."

Seeing Jun Jun Yiyi saw that Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's face was calm and indifferent, yet his words struck at the heart with every sentence; her face grew even more ghastly. She gritted her teeth, her trembling fingertip pointing at Seeing Jun Jun Zijin:

"You... you... you are slandering with a bloody mouth!"

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin smiled slightly, yet that smile did not reach his eyes; he spoke slowly and calmly:

"At the manor, Aunt Liu tried to take my life several times; you knew that, didn't you? On the day I returned to the manor a few months ago, you were involved in Lady Wu hiring assassins to take my life, weren't you?"

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's cold voice echoed in the air, stirring a storm of shock in the hearts of everyone present.

Xiang Xiang Junzheng was furious; his face turned iron-green. He had not known that the second daughter had been in such a difficult situation at the manor. He asked in disbelief:

"Could this be true? Did such an event happen to the second daughter at the manor?"

The Old Lady took Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's hand, patted it gently, and signaled her not to be angry.

Jun Jun Yiyi's expression showed a moment of panic, yet she still spoke stubbornly:

"Seeing Jun Jun Zijin, on what grounds do you slander me? Do you have evidence?"

"Evidence?"

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin smiled, yet his cold voice held not a shred of warmth:

"Brother and I just went to the Capital Magistrate's prison; guess who we went to see?"

She stepped forward, pulled a stack of confessions from her bosom, and threw them before Jun Jun Yiyi, saying:

"These are all confessions written in Aunt Xue's own hand."

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin turned around, glanced at the crowd in the hall, and continued speaking:

"Lady Wu was originally merely a mistress. To achieve her goals, she stole another's son to impersonate the father's son; she caused the death of my mother and my unborn younger brother; taking advantage of my youth, she deceived me into causing my maternal grandfather's death; she administered a child-sterilizing drug to Father; she caused Grandmother to fall and break her leg, then poisoned Grandmother, so that Grandmother can no longer walk freely. She also caused the death of Lady Zhou's son, who was not yet four years old..."

The crimes of Lady Wu, each one heinous and against heaven, were enumerated by Seeing Jun Jun Zijin.

Had it not been for seeking the truth of Jun Chengcai's parentage to find Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue would not have been forced to reveal so many shocking matters.

Had it not been for Jun Chengcai's parentage, she would not have brought up a dead person again.

Now that Jun Chengcai's status in the Jun household is awkward, she simply exposed all these matters, making the truth known to the world, letting everyone know that the one at fault is Lady Wu, and Jun Chengcai is innocent.

When Lady Zhou heard that her son had been killed by Lady Wu, her body swayed several times, nearly losing her balance. Jun Jun Shuyan hurriedly supported her.

Lady Zhou's lips trembled, and tears burst forth from her hollow, lifeless eyes.

Her hand tightly gripped Jun Jun Shuyan's sleeve, her fingertips turning white from excessive force.

After a long while, she wept out in utter grief:

"My child... Lady Wu... you vicious person; I hold no grudge against you, nor do you against me; why did you harm my child?"

The Old Lady also wore an expression of disbelief; she had long known Lady Wu was not a kind person, yet she never imagined she could be so vicious! Nearly everyone in the household had been ruined by her.

The Old Lady wished she could dig Lady Wu out of the grave and whip her corpse; she clutched Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's hand tightly.

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin firmly clasped the Old Lady's hand in return, using one hand to gently pat the Old Lady's back. Only then did the Old Lady's trembling body gradually calm down.

Xiang Xiang Junzheng sighed helplessly; when he first learned of these deeds of Lady Wu, it was like a sharp sword piercing his heart, and he returned to his room and vomited blood.

The reason he concealed Lady Wu's actions back then was, on one hand, to preserve the Jun household's dignity and reputation, and on the other, because he did not wish to reopen the bloody scars in everyone's hearts again.

Who knew that Jun Jun Yiyi, that evil spirit, would go mad tonight, forcing the second daughter to reveal all the truth to the public.

When Lady Wu, disregarding everything, shouted these matters at Xiang Xiang Junzheng, she was present; yet in the following months, Xiang Xiang Junzheng took no action, so she thought these matters had passed.

She never expected that today Seeing Jun Jun Zijin would expose them publicly.

Jun Jun Yiyi felt everyone staring at her with malice; she felt as uncomfortable as if her clothes had been stripped off. Her face turned deathly pale, and she nearly collapsed to the ground, yet she still cried out unwillingly:

"Impossible! You are lying; these confessions must be forged!"

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin stood there quietly, his gaze revealing deep pity. He looked at Jun Jun Yiyi, his tone calm yet carrying a certain firmness.

"The facts are all present; do you still wish to argue? You and your mother have done nothing but evil; the Jun household, under your calculations, is tottering, leaving not a single drop of inherited bloodline. You now wish to stay out of it? Do you still have the face to come here seeking justice?"

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin paused slightly, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips, and continued speaking:

"Furthermore, your heart is vicious; you think no one knows the purpose of your outburst today? You think why you did not see the result you wanted? I tell you, when Big Brother learned of his parentage, he was honest with Grandmother and Father; Big Brother is still the eldest young master of the Jun household, and he will forever be Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's brother."

Hearing this, Jun Chengcai's eyes reddened; his gaze swept deeply over everyone present, finally resting on Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's face; the two exchanged a smile.

The Old Lady and Xiang Xiang Junzheng also nodded in agreement.

Although Jun Chengcai is not of Jun blood, for so many years, the Jun family has always treated him as their own flesh and blood.

Moreover, Lady Wu has destroyed all the male heirs of the Jun family; Xiang Xiang Junzheng was also given a child-sterilizing drug by Lady Wu and can no longer father children.

Except for Jun Chengcai, the Jun family has no one left to carry on the lineage. One cannot possibly place hope on Jun Jun Zhihao of the second branch, whose heart is not upright.

Jun Jun Yiyi never expected that sixteen years ago, when her birth mother deceived heaven and earth, stole a child to replace a stillborn, the Old Lady and Father had already known the truth.

What do these things she has done amount to now? She has become the laughingstock of the entire household; she has lifted a stone only to drop it on her own foot.
