Chapter 220

"If someone maliciously slanders my reputation and fabricates slanderous and untrue statements, your family..."

Jiang Anning blinked, her tone innocent.

Aunt Gui gnashed her teeth and said, "My wife will clarify it for you!!"

Jiang An Ning got the result she wanted, and her smile became more sincere: "In that case, I would like to thank Madam An for her kindness!"

"Mrs. An is such a good person!"

Nanny Gui was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Whoever wants to be this good person can do so!
She felt even more worried, not knowing how to explain to her wife later.

But Jiang Anning acted innocent and kind, and became even more demanding.

"Mammy, why do you look like that?"

"Do you think what I said is wrong?"

She blinked innocently, and her meaning was very clear: No way, no way, you don’t think Mrs. An is not a good person, do you?

Aunt Gui:......

At this moment, she felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.

But she had to smile and agree: "Mrs. Jiang Xiu is right!"

She almost bit her teeth off, wishing she could tear the person in front of her to pieces to vent her hatred!

Jiang Anning didn't care and smiled even more brightly: "I also think what I said is right."

Aunt Gui gritted her teeth: ...

Shameless!
[Anning Nv'e good tea, I like it very much]

[User Green Tea Collector gave a reward of 666 Yuanbao lucky bags]

Seeing the long-lost large reward, Jiang Anning felt light again. All the fatigue in his body disappeared and he curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
-
Jiangjia Village.

Zhao family.

The two brothers Sang Nanshan and Sang Donghai looked at the people in front of them, stood up straight immediately, and tried their best to behave well.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become tense, Sang Donghai smiled, took a step forward, and broke the silence in a very flattering manner.

"High Priest, why are you here?"

"But is there anything you need to tell us? Look at you, even if there is something, you can just ask someone to pass on a message. Why bother to come here in person..."

The voice of the person on the other side interrupted his fawning and asked directly, "What does Jiang Anning want you two to do?"

When Sang Donghai heard this, he was stunned.

He subconsciously denied: "No, nothing!"

Sang Nanshan didn't even dare to say a word, and stared at the person who came with a vigilant look.

"nothing?"

The high priest raised his eyebrows and directly exposed people's thoughts: "How come you have developed feelings for Jiang Anning after just a few days of not seeing each other?"

"What benefit did she give you that made you two loyal to her?"

"Do you still have the Sang family in your heart?"

Sang Donghai and Sang Nanshan immediately knelt down: "High Priest, please understand. We have no intention of betraying the Sang family!"

I saw that the person seemed to be smiling, as if he didn't quite believe it.

Sang Donghai hurriedly said, "We two brothers were definitely not bribed by Jiang Anning! She really didn't ask us to do anything."

"I didn't ask you to do anything, so why are there so many guards outside for no reason?"

The high priest sneered twice: "Are you thinking I'm blind?"

Sang Donghai was bitter: "But Jiang Anning really didn't ask us to do anything!"

"She just told us two brothers to help raise silkworms, and the more cocoons we can get, the better."

"Other than that, there really wasn't anything else we could do."

"As for these guards...she just said that she was worried that someone would come to cause trouble, and she wanted to prevent us two brothers from being able to handle it and getting hurt by mistake. She couldn't get there in time, so she hired these guards to protect the safety of us two brothers and her property."

"After all, the silkworm cocoons raised by our two brothers are of great use to her."

Sang Donghai scratched his head: "But she didn't tell us what the use of it is."

“But it doesn’t look like it’s for sale.”

The high priest said "Oh?" and raised his eyebrows slightly: "If it's not for selling, then what is it for?"

Sang Donghai shook his head: "We don't know either."

"Then what do you say? She's not selling it for money?"

Sang Donghai: "I'm just guessing. At that time, she only told us that she needed our help to raise a large number of silk cocoons. The more the better."

"I had gently reminded them at the time that silkworm cocoons were not as easy to sell and profitable as one might imagine!"

"Even if I make money, it's mostly hard-earned money."

"It is almost impossible to achieve what they imagined before, that everyone would become rich and make a lot of money."

"I'm worried that she was fooled by someone and invested a lot of money in it. In the end, she won't be able to earn back the money she invested. Instead, she will blame us for not doing a good job and causing trouble for the Sang family."

Sang Donghai pursed his lips slightly: "Especially the one who came to find us two brothers, or..." Jiang Wei's people!
He didn't say the rest of the words out loud, fearing that walls might have ears and someone might overhear him.

But when his eyes met with the high priest's, they already understood each other.

"what do you mean?"

"I'm worried that this might be a trap set by that person to deliberately lure us here. When the time comes that silkworm farming is indeed not profitable, he will instigate these villagers to ask us for an explanation."

"It could even be some other trap."

Sang Donghai sighed: "And you don't know how vicious the people in this village are!"

He recounted those days, everything he had seen and heard as he watched from a distance in Jiangjia Village.

"It's really hard for me not to suspect that this is a complete calculation!"

"The purpose is to use the villagers to deal with us!"

"I'm not exaggerating at all!" Sang Donghai showed an extremely disgusted expression: "You haven't seen it yourself, you don't know how arrogant, difficult, vulgar, and vicious the people in this village are! If the time comes, we help them raise silkworms, but in the end they lose all their money... who knows how they will retaliate and default on their debts."

Sang Donghai sighed: "But the young lady from the Jiang family said that she never thought that raising silkworms would make money."

"He also told us the famous proverb: Those who are dressed in fine silk are not the ones who raise silkworms."

"That's why I suspect that she doesn't want to make money from these cocoons, but has other purposes."

"It's just that we two brothers have no idea what she wants to do."

"She only recruited these guards, and then hurried back to the county town."

"We have only been gone for a short time... We two brothers haven't even had time to start raising silkworms. We still have a long way to go in terms of preliminary preparations!"

The high priest seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing this, Sang Donghai couldn't help but ask tentatively: "How about we brothers not raising her? We can find an excuse to go out shopping or something, it shouldn't be difficult to leave here, how about we..."

As soon as he said this, Sang Nanshan was unhappy before the high priest said anything else.

"How could you be like this?"

Sang Nanshan loudly rebuked Sang Donghai: "We have clearly already agreed with Jiang's cousin that we will help her raise silkworms, how can you go back on your word?" He said contemptuously: "You say one thing in front of me and another behind my back. I despise you!"

Sang Donghai glared at the man and signaled him not to talk nonsense.

Talking about Jiang's cousin in front of the high priest...are you crazy!

As expected, the high priest was very interested in the words "Jiang family's cousin".

Without giving Sang Donghai a chance to explain, he looked directly at Sang Nanshan and asked, "Why do you call her Jiang's cousin?"

The high priest smiled and said, "I don't remember any sister with the surname Jiang in your mother's family. It seems that none of your aunts married into a family with the surname Jiang, except..."

Sang Jingwan!
The three of them thought of this name at the same time.

Sang Donghai glared at Sang Nanshan: Look at the trouble you’ve caused!

Sang Nanshan stopped talking immediately.

Unexpectedly, the high priest suddenly laughed: "It seems that you don't have any evidence to prove that Jiang Anning is Jingwan's daughter."

Both of them remained silent.

The high priest laughed a few times and said, "But your suspicion is not wrong."

"She is indeed Jingwan's daughter. It is not wrong for you to call her cousin."

"real?!"

Sang Nanshan's eyes lit up immediately: "So, High Priest, you have confirmed that Jiang's cousin... No, no, it's Jiang Anning's bloodline? Is she really from the Sang family too?"

"Never."

The high priest's two light words were like a basin of cold water poured over Sang Nanshan's face.

“Never??!!!”

Sang Nanshan's voice became much higher, his eyes widened, and he looked at the high priest in disbelief: "Then why did you say that it was not wrong for us to call her cousin? And you also said that she is indeed Aunt Jingwan's daughter... Aren't you deceiving people's feelings!"

He was full of complaints, his mouth puffed out, his eyes wide open, staring at the high priest angrily, as if he was going to commit rebellion if he didn't have any reason left.

"She is Jingwan's daughter. Isn't it normal for you to call her cousin?"

The high priest smiled nonchalantly: "Did I say anything wrong?"

Sang Nanshan's eyes widened, and his cheeks puffed up angrily: "But you just said that you didn't test the blood!"

He felt like he was being played, which made him even more annoyed.

"I really haven't tested Jiang Anning's bloodline."

The high priest laughed and said, "Is there any conflict between this and Jiang Anning being Jingwan's daughter and you calling her cousin?"

"If you haven't even done a blood test, how can you be sure that she is Aunt Jingwan's daughter?"

Sang Nanshan glared angrily, very dissatisfied: "Are you playing tricks on us?"

"I'm not kidding you."

The high priest snorted and laughed: "I'm just saying that Jiang Anning is indeed Jingwan's daughter. According to seniority, you should call her cousin."

"I have indeed never tested her bloodline."

Sang Nanshan widened his eyes and was about to say something when he was pulled back by Sang Donghai next to him.

"Why are you touching me?" He glared at Sang Donghai in dissatisfaction.

Sang Donghai rolled his eyes at him and ignored his mindless question. He turned to look at the high priest and said, "You mean, Jiang Anning is indeed Aunt Jingwan's daughter, but she may not have the blood of the Sang family?"

Before the high priest could answer yes or no, Sang Nanshan exclaimed: "How is this possible?"

"If Jiang Anning is Aunt Jingwan's daughter, how could she not have the blood of the Sang family? Unless..."

Sang Nanshan frowned: "The high priest means that Jiang Anning is not Aunt Jingwan's biological daughter?"

"I didn't say that."

The high priest smiled and said, "I just said that I haven't tested her bloodline."

"What I mean is, I don't know whether she has the blood of the Sang family. Maybe she does, but maybe she doesn't."

"It's not good for me to talk nonsense about something that has not been confirmed."

The high priest laughed a few times and said, "I don't know why you two little guys misunderstood me."

"Since you haven't tested her blood, how do you know that Jiang Anning is Aunt Jingwan's daughter?"

Sang Donghai frowned in confusion: "We only know that Aunt Jingwan had a daughter back then, but so many years have passed and no one has seen this cousin, not to mention that something like that happened eight years ago..."

He paused and said, "Perhaps, this cousin has already passed away, who knows?"

"After all, the information about Jiang Anning's background was revealed to us by that person on purpose. Maybe it was just to lure us into the trap?"

"There is no need to doubt this."

The high priest sneered: "If Jiang Anning was not Jingwan's daughter, there wouldn't be so many eyes around her."

Sang Donghai was stunned for a moment, then realized that Jiang Anning was being monitored by many people.

Even among so many pairs of eyes, there might be one pair that came from the Sang family, from the high priest in front of him.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he looked at the high priest, feeling a little surprised.

"Can……"

Sang Donghai hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "What if this is just a trick they are trying to confuse us into thinking that Jiang Anning is Aunt Jingwan's daughter?"

"Or maybe they were also deceived?"

He pursed his lips slightly: "I still think that, for the sake of caution, we should test the blood of others before making a final conclusion."

The high priest chuckled and did not comment on what the man said.

"But have you ever thought about it?"

He suddenly looked at Sang Donghai and asked, "If someone really deliberately blurred Jiang Anning's background and led the owners behind those eyes to treat her as Jingwan's daughter, then what is their plan?"

Sang Donghai was stunned.

"Or, is there such a possibility?"

The high priest sneered: "They can't really confirm whether Jiang Anning is Jing Wan's daughter."

"That's why we need to be led here to discover it."

"It's all to wait for the result of bloodline confirmation."

"If, in the end, we are the ones who confirm whether Jiang Anning is a descendant of the Sang family, will we really fall into their trap?"

The two Sang brothers seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems, as if, that this is really possible?
But... "Could it be that we have to give up verifying Jiang Anning's bloodline identity?"

Sang Donghai frowned, worried: "If that's the case, then... the holy land never allows people who are not from the Sang family to enter. If they get within a hundred meters, they will be killed by the rules!"

What if Jiang An Ning really isn't of the Sang family's bloodline? Wouldn't that be a threat to someone's life?

Sang Donghai rarely felt a bit of pity for Jiang Anning.

After all, it was an innocent life.

No matter who it is, after knowing that it is likely to cause someone to lose their life, they will feel a little guilty.

However, the holy land is on the verge of collapse, and it requires descendants of the Sang family with pure blood to re-enter and reactivate the holy land.

Jiang Anning...is now their only hope.
