Chapter 86: It Wasn’t Me, It Was Nan Yuanman!
Nan Yuanman covered her shoulder bag with her hand and vigilantly took a step back: “What are you doing?”
“I don’t want to do anything, I just want to take a look.” Ge Peiyao stubbornly grabbed Nan Yuanman’s skirt hem and repeated, “Let me see. Are you deliberately taking out a fake one to fool me?”
Five years ago when Bai Wenyin left, her body was clearly strong like an ox, and she even pinned Yao Yao down and beat her. How could she… have died just five years later?
Tears welled up in Ge Peiyao’s eyes, and she forced a pale smile at the corner of her mouth: “You tell Grandmother that spirit tablet is fake, right?”
Even now, Ge Peiyao still thought Nan Yuanman was being naughty and had taken a fake one to scare her.
She wanted to look again, wanted to confirm again…
How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly die five years later?
Ge Peiyao’s condition didn’t look good at all, as if she had suffered a huge blow. Her expression was a bit dazed, and she looked… a little pitiful.
Nan Yuanman pursed her small mouth slightly, looked at Ge Peiyao for a few seconds, then carefully took Bai Wenyin’s spirit tablet out of her shoulder bag and earnestly refuted her: “I didn’t deliberately take a fake spirit tablet to fool you. This is Mother’s spirit tablet. Grandpa made it for her himself.”
The spirit tablet was made of pine wood, and when taken out, it still emitted a faint pine wood scent. Several large characters were engraved on it—Spirit Tablet of the Kind Mother Bai Wenyin.
Perhaps Old Master Nan didn’t want Nan Yuanman to forget what her mother looked like, so in the center of the tablet, he had also pasted a blue-background ID photo of Bai Wenyin.
The woman in the ID photo had her hair in a side ponytail and smiled very gently at the camera.
When Ge Peiyao saw this blue-background ID photo, she was struck as if by lightning, Her head was buzzing, and she stood there blankly..
She opened her mouth and then closed it, reached out to touch the photo on the spirit tablet, but her trembling fingertip retracted abruptly just before touching it.
“Fake… this must be fake… No, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!” Ge Peiyao laughed, but
As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and snatched the spirit tablet from Nan Yuanman’s hand, then forcefully smashed it onto the ground.
Nan Yuanman: “!!!”
She instinctively lunged toward the spot where the spirit tablet had fallen, wanting to protect it with her own body, but Feng Yuli’s speed was faster than hers. He directly flew over, hugged the spirit tablet, and rolled on the ground once to dissipate the force.
“Big brother!” Nan Yuanman hurriedly ran over: “Are you okay?”
Feng Yuli sat on the ground and gave Nan Yuanman a comforting smile. “It’s fine.”
He carefully handed her the spirit tablet in his hand: “Don’t worry, it’s intact, not dropped.”
Luckily, he often shuttled through the battlefield when he was abroad, otherwise, this body’s reaction wouldn’t have been that fast.
Jiang Lixuan was also startled. Seeing the spirit tablet intact, he completely lost control and angrily roared at Ge Peiyao: “Mom! Are you crazy?! This is A Yin’s spirit tablet!! What are you doing smashing A Yin’s spirit tablet!!”
Ge Peiyao emotionally retorted: “That’s not true! Bai Wenyin isn’t dead! She’s still alive! Still alive!”
“It’s just a spirit tablet! It can’t prove she’s dead! Why keep such a bad luck thing!!”
Ge Peiyao trembled all over. She glared viciously at Nan Yuanman: “You are the child she carried for ten months and gave birth to! How can you curse her like this!”
Feng Langqing’s face darkened as he suppressed the desire to hit her, cursing under his breath, “Madwoman, get this straight—this has nothing to do with Perfection! The person died long ago! She was gone when Perfection was born!”
The Feng family’s intelligence network was more extensive than that of the Jiang family. When Feng Yuli discovered that Nan Yuanman was very likely Feng Congqian’s biological daughter, he investigated and clarified everything about her from birth onward.
It was naturally known that Bai Wenyin was really dead.
“You didn’t care about her when she was alive, and now that she’s dead, who are you pretending to be unable to accept it for?” Feng Langqing mocked.
“I…… I……” Ge Peiyao trembled her lips, unable to say a word for a long time. Her eyes were red-rimmed, tears falling uncontrollably drop by drop. Her heart felt like it had been torn open with a huge hole, hurting so much that she could hardly breathe.
Jiang Tianzong and the others were also startled. His face darkened as he angrily shouted in displeasure, “Ge Peiyao, enough! Stop going crazy!”
Feng Yuli picked up the frightened Nan Yuanman and gave Ge Peiyao a cold glance: “Mr. Jiang, today’s matter, the Feng family has noted it.”
After speaking, he held Nan Yuanman and left with big strides. Feng Langqing snorted coldly and followed behind together with Meng Qinian.
Ge Peiyao was breathing rapidly. She turned her head, looking at Jiang Tianzong with tearful eyes, and said through gritted teeth: “I’m going crazy? Jiang Tianzong! The one who died is our daughter! Our daughter!”
“How can you, how can you have no reaction at all!”
Yes, she didn’t like Bai Wenyin, that’s correct, but she didn’t want her to die.
No matter what, Bai Wenyin was the child she had carried for ten months. No matter how much she disliked her or hated her, she still wanted her to live well.
Jiang Tianzong was full of impatience: “What are you pretending to be now? Wasn’t it you who drove her out of the house five years ago? When you drove her out of the house, why didn’t you say she was your daughter?”
“Now that the person is dead, what use is it to say more?”
Ge Peiyao’s pupils dilated slightly, her face expressionless and blank. She knew Jiang Tianzong had a cold temperament, but she had never expected him to be so ruthless about their daughter’s death.
Her body swayed unsteadily, she clutched her chest and fell backward, Jiang Yunjing hurriedly supported her: “Mom!”
Jiang Tianzong frowned, coldly tossed out a sentence: “Send her to the hospital, don’t let her go crazy here.” Then he left the room.
Nan Yuanman cannot be added to the Jiang family tree. If she cannot be added to the Jiang family tree, she is not one of the Jiang family members, and he cannot get the good fortune on her……
No, he had to go ask the master what to do next.

On the other side.
When Jiang Xinxin discovered that the USB drive had been misplaced, she got scared and hid away. She sat in the hotel lobby for a while, and when she realized her mother hadn’t called to scold her, she finally relaxed a bit.
She gauged the time and felt it was about right, so she was just about to go back to find her mother and uncle when she happened to see Feng Yuli striding out while holding Nan Yuanman.
Jiang Xinxin instinctively hid behind the money tree in the lobby and peeked out.
Feng Yuli and Feng Langqing’s attention was all on Nan Yuanman, and they didn’t notice Jiang Xinxin hiding behind the money tree.
Jiang Xinxin watched them leave, murmuring in confusion: “Strange, who are they? Why did they carry Nan Yuanman away?”
Could it be… that Grandmother and Grandfather couldn’t stand Nan Yuanman anymore and gave her to someone else to raise?!
As soon as Jiang Xinxin thought about how there wouldn’t be Nan Yuanman at home in the future to steal the attention of Uncle and Grandmother and Grandfather, she couldn’t help but feel happy inside.
She ran off happily to find Jiang Yueyao: “Mom, Mom, guess what I just saw—!”
“Smack!”
Before Jiang Xinxin could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face, her face twisting to one side and quickly becoming red and swollen.
Jiang Xinxin’s cheek stung and hurt, and she looked at Jiang Yueyao in a dazed and frightened way: “Mom…”
Jiang Yueyao clenched her hand into a fist, her eyes red, and asked her ferociously: “Where’s the USB drive I told you to plant? Why did it turn into that audio?!”
She roared out of control: “Do you know what you’ve done! You’ve ruined me!”
Jiang Xinxin’s body trembled, and she burst into tears with a wail: “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me! It was Nan Yuanman! It was Nan Yuanman who did it!”
