Jiang Jinyu directly put the blame on the system. If the system heard this, it would definitely rise up in resistance.

"Mother, what should we do? You are right. Third brother not only does not love Xing Xiaoya deeply, but he also feels like he has taken on a hot potato. But he has no choice but to hold Xing Xiaoya back. This is not going to work!"

Jiang Jinyu agreed with Cen Ying's point of view and soon became even more worried.

If Jiang Chengli loved Xing Xiaoya deeply and did these outrageous things because he was crazy about love, then she would not be so upset. After all, this was something Jiang Chengli had to bear himself.

But now after such an analysis, she found that there were many unspeakable secrets, which made her even more distressed and anxious. How could she pull her third brother out of this deadlock?

"Oh, how can this be easy?" After hearing her say that, Cen Ying couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling extremely depressed.

Since the first time she saw Jiang Chengli on Wutong Street, she had imagined countless times how to rescue him from this predicament, but both the prophecy of the artifact and Jiang Chengli's own attitude reflected countless difficulties, which made her hesitate.

"But we have been pushed to the extreme. If Third Brother can kill someone today, who knows what he might do tomorrow. Maybe before this evil Xing Xiaoya takes any action, Third Brother will force himself to death." Jiang Jinyu also sighed.

The mother and daughter sat opposite each other, knowing that the matter was of great importance and could not be delayed.

After dinner the next day, as Xu Wanying left, all the Jiang family members who stayed in the Marquis' Mansion were called together for a meeting. Even Jiang Chengzhong rushed back from the military camp.

Men, women, old and young sat down around the round table, even Pan Ge'er was there and could talk.

"It's not a good idea to drag it on like this. We need to pool our wisdom. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. I don't believe that a whole family can't deal with a weak woman." As the head of the family, Marquis Zhongyi spoke first.

"Dad, that's not necessarily true. Xing Xiaoya is very evil, and I can't deal with her anyway." Jiang Chengxiao refuted on the spot.

No matter what woman stands in front of him, he can act like Liu Xiahui. He has personal experience of this and is reminded day and night how terrible Xing Xiaoya's existence is.

"What do you mean not sure? It's because you are a loser that you can't deal with her. Look, the artifact also says that I can't extricate myself from her, but I am still safe and sound!" Marquis Zhongyi said unhappily.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into an eerie silence, mainly because Marquis Zhongyi's words were too rude.

Not only Jiang Chengxiao felt embarrassed, but even Lu Ling couldn't help but lower her head, feeling really ashamed.

"Dad, what you said is really funny. That's because you didn't have any contact with Xing Xiaoya later, otherwise you would have been unlucky. If she wasn't evil, why didn't you dare go to Wutong Street again? I heard that there was an official incident on Wutong Street before, and when you heard the name, you immediately pushed the matter away for fear of being bumped into."

"Tsk, speaking of this, you're not as good as me!" Jiang Chengxiao retorted bluntly and even dug up old things from the past.

"Bastard thing!"

"My Lord, now is not the time to quarrel. Business matters are more important."

Just as Marquis Zhongyi opened his mouth to scold, he was interrupted by Cen Ying.

"Madam, you don't have to worry about it. The second son is just too independent and is becoming more and more undisciplined." Marquis Zhongyi did not want to stop and obviously wanted to continue to demonstrate his authority.

The main reason was that Jiang Chengxiao had hit his sore spot and he was unwilling to give up.

"The second brother just said a few wrong words. It shouldn't make the Marquis so excited, right? Or is it that the Marquis was angry and embarrassed because he was hit by the words?" Cen Ying glanced at him lightly.

She spoke these two sentences slowly and steadily, but coupled with that look, it was absolutely killer.

Marquis Zhongyi subconsciously wanted to jump up and refute, but after meeting Cen Ying's eyes, he sat back down in an instant.

"Madam is right, Second Brother, considering how much you have suffered outside these past few years, I will not bother with you. But if there is a next time, I will never let you off easily."

He pretended to say a few words and gently changed the subject. It was obvious that he was afraid of being exposed by Cen Ying. After all, he was not clean when it came to his romantic life.

"Tell us everything about the third brother and Xing Xiaoya." He got back to the topic.

"Mom, are you sure that my third brother doesn't like Xing Xiaoya? I think what Shenqi said is right. He loves Xing Xiaoya deeply and has developed a strong possessive desire. He cannot accept anyone getting close to Xing Xiaoya, no matter if it's a man or a woman. That's why he does all kinds of weird things." Jiang Chengxiao once again put forward his ideas.

After all, he had come into contact with Jiang Chengli several times, and the impression of his third brother chasing him with a knife and wanting to castrate him was too deep, and the feeling of horror was deeply buried in his heart.

"There's no need to mention this. If I say it's not, then it's not." Cen Ying's attitude was firm.

Jiang Chengxiao frowned and said in a very disapproving tone: "Mom, I saw it with my own eyes. Third brother was very nervous about Xing Xiaoya. He really-"

"The artifact said that you follow Xing Xiaoya all day long like a follower, but aren't you staying in the mansion? Even a playboy like you can control himself, so why can't the third brother?" Cen Ying turned her gaze to him, her tone a little cold.

This time it was Jiang Chengxiao's turn to be speechless. So this is how it felt to be targeted by his mother. He suddenly understood why Marquis Zhongyi had changed his words at the last minute. It was indeed very stressful.

"By the way, Chengxiao, tell me the truth, after coming back from Xing Xiaoya, have you really never thought about going to see her once?" Cen Ying seemed to remember something and asked urgently.

"No!" Jiang Chengxiao replied almost instantly.

Cen Ying looked suspicious. "You are so eager to refute without even thinking. Usually you are hit in a sore spot and want to hide your thoughts. How about letting Lu Ling leave first?"

"Mom, why don't you believe me? I didn't--"

Jiang Chengxiao was still struggling, but Lu Ling beside him spoke first: "Mom, he is lying. In the first few nights after returning from Wutong Street, he kept tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. He finally fell asleep and called Xing Xiaoya's name in his dream."

Lu Ling exposed him without any hesitation, and Jiang Chengxiao was instantly embarrassed. He had always been thick-skinned, but now he was embarrassed in front of the whole family and couldn't even raise his head.

"and after?"

"Later, things got much better. He stopped thinking about Xing Xiaoya day and night, and gradually cooled down. Later, when Xing Xiaoya's name was mentioned again, his attitude became to keep his distance and he even felt a little timid." Lu Ling continued.

She has always been observant and the condition of the person beside her never escapes her eyes. Although she has never said it before, she knows every word and action.

"Second brother, your wife has already told you, what else is there to hide? Why did this change happen?" Marquis Zhongyi on the side also took the opportunity to interrogate.

He is now in a state of watching the show, after all, the main target is not him.
