Chapter 738: Second Attempt at Killing You (Ⅰ)

“Did I malign anyone? Why don’t you verify the truth with the person next to you?”

Faced with Jiang Pengji’s question, Wuma Jun looked stunned, his heart gripped by uncontrollable fear and cowardice.

“Because you bully the weak and fear the strong, you only dare to confront me but have no courage to verify it with her. In that instant when she showcased her marvelous tactics, it inflicted fear in you, but simultaneously, it filled you with hope—there was hope that you could change your fate. You need her help to ascend the throne. If you could win the throne, even if deep down in your heart you never believed she was your mother, you could still prostrate yourself and submit to her, just like a dog who pleases her. Am I right?”

She aimed at the spot where Wuma Jun burned with pain. With her every word, she attacked his weakness.

“I, I didn’t…I didn’t…”

Wuma Jun was at a complete loss, his eyes blinking nonstop. Consequently, he dared not look at the lady in red.

“If you didn’t, then what are you feeling guilty about?”Jiang Pengji folded her arms while she coldly smirked at this unique mother-and-son pair. Suddenly, understanding dawned on her, and she exclaimed, “Look at my poor memory. If someone is to feel guilty, it should firstly be this woman. She isn’t even worthy to be called scum.”

The lady clothed in red was being berated by Jiang Pengji. How could she bear it?

With swift footsteps, she vanished. Her palm techniques appeared gentle yet sinister, but in fact they encapsulated the strength to crush one’s internal organs to bits.

“Do you wish to silence me just because you cannot outwit me in speech? But the crux of the matter—can you defeat me? Have you forgotten how you were killed last time?”

Jiang Pengji evaded her attacks by turning. Her left hand was poised in the shape of a claw as she grabbed her collarbone. With ease, she threw her into a corner of the room with ease.

If she had been a man, she probably would have been captivated by the woman’s gorgeous appearance and lost her rational mind, but in Jiang Pengji’s eyes, she was worse than rubbish.

She dealt with her lightheartedly, as if she were taking a stroll in the park. This sight made the lady in red burn with hatred and jealousy.

She could tell that Jiang Pengji did not practice any ultimate martial arts. Still, unexpectedly, she was winning at this. How could that be?

This was unfair!

“Who exactly are you…? Why do you know so much?”

The lady in red shook with anger till her molars chattered.

“Heh, you don’t even know who I am. You are bold, daring to go against me.”

She watched as the lady in red lifted herself from the ground. Jiang Pengji clapped her hands and revealed the truth to Wuma Jun. “I see… This woman hasn’t told you the truth. Shortly after she gave birth to you, she secretly had an affair with Prince Changshou,” she said. “They shared an illicit sexual relationship, and thus, Liu Huan was born. In her pursuit of prestige and wealth, she later ditched Prince Changshou and abandoned Liu Huan. Liu Huan was adopted by my father, who acknowledged her as his illegitimate daughter. He raised her for more than ten years. Do you know why my father was willing to suffer the grievance of raising Liu Huan? Consider this. Isn’t it satisfying to watch your enemy’s children share an immoral sexual relationship and commit incest?”

Wuma Jun’s facial expression was so sullen that it was unsightly, and both his hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Terror, shock, and unspeakable revulsion filled his heart.

His ex-wife, the one who had shared his bed and carried his child in her womb, was his biological sister from the same mother but a different father? Seriously?

Not only did they share the same mother—even their fathers were biological brothers who shared the same bloodline!

Liu Huan’s face and the time when she had been pregnant surfaced in his mind. Suddenly, he felt nauseated and vomited with a groan.

It wasn’t just Wuma Jun who couldn’t accept it. Neither could the lady in red, who was beside him.

Even if she had done these things, but others had uncovered her wrongdoings outright, certainly, she would be infuriated.

She thought Liu She had been unaware of her plans when she had purposely abandoned Liu Huan. Yet surprisingly, Liu She had known it all along!

That man had purposely created a trap for her. He had tricked her on purpose!

“Bastard!”

The lady in red was startled. She stared at Jiang Pengji with malice, as if she wanted to rip her apart with her eyes.

Jiang Pengji smiled gleefully. Her brows briefly rose, and she asked in return, “Are you scolding yourself? You should reflect on your actions. Who exactly is the cunning one?”

“Why do I need to reflect?”

Her breathing was heavy, while her eyes turned sinister with of all her built-up hatred and malice. It damaged her exotic, mesmerizing beauty.

As she smiled, she tore down the only mask the lady in red had left in front of Wuma Jun.

She cackled. “A lowly wandering spirit possessed Wang Huiyun’s body and caused the pitiful deaths of Xie Qian and her son,” she said. “She entered the palace because of greed for prestige and wealth. From the beginning up to now, she’s had illicit relations with the three brothers in the imperial family. Then she gave birth to Wuma Jun and Liu Huan. Another sin of hers was that she incited the brother and sister to commit incest! The years you were in Zhongzhao, you followed Dongqing’s news closely. The servant-girl, Taxue, who lived in my manor… Isn’t she your spy? Were you unaware that Wuma Jun and Liu Huan were engaged? Three years passed from the time they were engaged until they got married. Do you dare say you were clueless? You knew well that they were siblings born of the same mother but different fathers, but you still chose to watch them get married and have an immoral relationship. Can you please explain yourself?”

The live streaming room was in turmoil.

What was this they had heard?

Little sister Taxue was a spy placed by this lady time traveler?

It wasn’t only her live-streaming room that was in an uproar. Wuma Jun felt like his senses were about to explode and shatter into bits.

With much difficulty, he tried to control his urge to puke. The lofty desire of ascending the throne as Emperor was absent from his mind. Only one question remained—

Why?

Why had she had to watch this pair of sister and brother commit incest? She was, after all, their biological mother!

The lady in red did not answer. Jiang Pengji had already guessed the answer.

She laughed as she said, “I believe you were not moved solely because Liu Huan and Wuma Jun had lost their worth, right?”

She had originally wanted to ignore her words. So what if she had created this incident?

Indeed, she had given birth to Wuma Jun and Liu Huan, but she would have to leave this world sooner or later. There was no need for her to invest so much emotion in them.

What was wrong with that?

She was self-righteous in her heart, but she soon discovered this would not work.

She watched as the comments on the bullet screen in her live-streaming room were all against her. Even those wealthy folks who supported her posted on the bullet screen and expressed their wish to abandon this livestream.

[Initially I thought you were just a whore, but now I have discovered that you’re also a malicious and vile whore. Enough of this! I’m leaving!]

[Fool around as you wish, but do not play your life away. I cannot afford that.]

[Sigh… Although you look pretty, the lady on the island isn’t ugly either. I’d rather admire her than look at you.]

[Shameless, low-born slut!]

She was bursting with anger in her heart. Her emotions were on the verge of exploding.

“Indeed! I did these things! At least I dare to take responsibility for my actions. Surely it trumps those prostitutes who pretend to be chaste widows.” The lady in red pointed at Jiang Pengji and added, “Don’t think too highly of yourself. Go back to your mother’s grave and ask just how shameless she was! She snatched her younger sister’s husband and pushed her sister to Meng Zhan. Just look at how Meng Zhan treated Gu Min eventually! She deserved her retribution!”

If one searched the spirits for memories, the lady in red stubbornly insisted that Liu She and Gu Min were a couple.

With regard to this point, Jiang Pengji couldn’t be sure.

If one were to speak of the original history, Liu Xi was born of Liu She and Gu Min. Then how would one explain why Wei Ci could identify her at once?

They must know that presently Liu Xi was the daughter of Liu She and Gu Min.

Could two different mothers give birth to one daughter with one man?

This matter did not require any thought.

Jiang Pengji’s focus was diverted, but the viewers were focused.
