Turnaround Life: The Rebirth Elegy of the Wealthy Wife

Chapter 157: The Prosperity of Generations

Jiang Kaichen walked into the dark room where the Liu couple were imprisoned and saw a tea mat that Guan Ben Liangxiong had someone bring from somewhere, and was forcing the couple to drink tea with him.

"Isn't there an old Chinese saying that goes, 'Like fathers, like sons grow.' You can give birth to such a smart son, but how come you don't do things like a human being?"

When he stepped into the room, he heard Guan Ben holding a teacup and talking to himself with a look of disgust on his face. He didn't say anything harsh, but the couple opposite him were scared by him and their faces turned pale.

"Mr. Jiang, please come and talk to the prince. I beg you to let Tianxiang go. The child is innocent and he knows nothing!"

Jiang Kaichen sat down next to Guan Ben Liangxiong with a sullen face, and Mrs. Liu stood up and kowtowed to him like crazy.

Amid the banging sounds of heads banging against the ground, it was impossible to forget how dignified she was during the day.

Liu Shihao, holding on to his last bit of pride, stretched out his hand to pick up the woman on the ground, but she slapped him away. She moved to the side as if trying to draw a clear line between them, and continued to bang her head against the ground, as if this was the only way to make her feel at ease.

Jiang Kaichen glanced at Guan Ben with eagle eyes, not knowing what he had said to the woman to scare her like that. But when he looked at Liu Shihao seriously, he found that this arrogant man lowered his head for the first time and did not dare to look him in the eye.

Sighing, he took the tea handed over by the prince, nodded knowingly, cleared his throat, and then asked the flustered woman opposite:

"Mrs. Liu, how much do you know?"

Finally, the heart-wrenching kowtow sound stopped. The woman slowly raised her tear-stained face, looked at Jiang Kaichen with disheveled hair, and looked confused.

Sure enough, Jiang Kaichen exchanged a knowing look with Guan Ben Liangxiong, and both of them looked at Liu Shihao's face inquiringly.

"Where are you taking the child?"

In silence, Guan Ben Liangxiong asked Jiang Kaichen casually.

"What on earth did you do? Tell me! We only have this one son! What on earth do you want to do?!"

Before Jiang Kaichen could respond, he saw Mrs. Liu rushing towards her husband like a madman, waving her hands and beating Liu Shihao. The despair from the bottom of her heart slowly tore her away from her husband's side.

Liu Shihao's back, which had been stiff, was bent by his wife's beating. He did not fight back, but tried hard to hug the woman who had already lost control and comfort her, but he was pushed away again and again.

“Mr. Liu, even if you were beaten by your wife, you still felt warm inside, right?”

After taking a sip of tea, the cup was slammed heavily on the table with a "bang". Jiang Kaichen let out a breath and looked at him with fear.

"Just now, thanks to you, I almost never had the chance to be beaten by the Madam! One body, two lives! Liu Shihao, how big is your grudge against me?!"

"I~I didn't~"

Knowing that he was finally exposed, Liu Shihao denied it with a pale face, but his head hung lower and lower, not daring to meet Jiang Kaichen's eyes.

"Snapped!"

"Liu Shihao, are you crazy?"

Mrs. Liu used all her strength to slap Liu Shihao in the face. Due to inertia, she fell to the ground again, covering her chest. She felt like the breath pressing on her chest was about to suffocate her.

Guan Ben Liangxiong held the test report in his hand and shook his head in surprise.

"You set a trap again to make him lose everything? Forced him to do such a murderous thing?"

He knew Jiang Kaichen's ruthless and decisive methods in the business world, and finally he turned around and asked, feeling a little relieved. He once again felt that it was reasonable for the teacher to run away in the first place, and the risk of being implicated if he lived with this kid was too great.

Under the gazes of Mrs. Liu and the prince, Jiang Kaichen felt for the first time the need to rebuild his own image.

"If there is really a grudge, would I agree to let his son be my flower girl? Even if I have feelings for his father, look at how much Wanwan loves his son, do you think I would dare to do it?"

Pinching his nose, he felt it necessary to explain. Although he was speaking to Guan Ben Liang Xiong, he was obviously also speaking to Mrs. Liu.

Sure enough, Mrs. Liu, who was still lying on the ground, slowly straightened up. This time she did not make a fuss anymore. Instead, with bloodshot eyes, she gritted her teeth and glared at her husband as if he were an enemy, and her eyes had already judged him guilty.

"You probably guessed it. I just came from Zhang Lingyue's place. I don't have the generosity and courtesy of the prince. But after a few lashes, the woman confessed everything."

Jiang Kaichen also took a deep breath and deliberately rolled up his sleeves which were stained with blood and could not be wiped clean.

Guan Ben had obviously successfully broken down their defenses. He knew that he had to take advantage of the situation to find out who was the real killer.

"what did she say?"

Liu Shihao finally couldn't sit still anymore. He raised his head abruptly and asked Jiang Kaichen in panic. He couldn't quite believe that the woman dared to plead guilty so easily.

"Can't you guess what she said?"

Looking at the man's slowly widening expression, Jiang Kaichen tapped the table lightly and asked meaningfully.

The dark room was very quiet. Everyone seemed to be waiting for Liu Shihao's answer. The sound of knocking on the table was like a dull hammer, knocking away his last bit of luck.

"It's not that I want to kill Miss Tang. I never thought about killing Miss Tang~"

After a while, Liu Shihao slowly raised his head and appealed to Jiang Kaichen as if he had made some decision. It was the first time that such a humble tone came out of this man's mouth. Jiang Kaichen rolled his eyes and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"You guys are biting each other like dogs, who do you think I should believe?"

He decided to completely trample this man's pride under his feet, raised the corner of his mouth wickedly, and looked at him with cold eyes.

"She said that the Nine-Phoenix Flower Hairpin and Crown can ensure prosperity for generations. I just wanted the crown and didn't intend to harm anyone at all!"

As if he had lost all his strength, Liu Shihao finally told the truth with his limp body. He was indeed greedy for the things, but he did not expect that it would lead to such an unmanageable situation. He lowered his head again and dared not look at Jiang Kaichen again.

"Nine-phoenix hairpin crown?"

Guan Ben Liangxiong and Mrs. Liu questioned at the same time. No one expected that the headdress that Tang Wenwan had worn on her head for a whole day could have such magical power.

"Can the crown on my teacher's head ensure prosperity for generations?"

Guan Ben Liangxiong raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Kaichen with an incredible expression, obviously not agreeing with this metaphysics.

It took him just a sip of tea before he suddenly remembered something and turned to Liu Shihao, looking at him as if he was a fool and asked.

"That boy is your only child, right? You've killed all your sons for this thing, so how can your descendants flourish?"

This sentence woke up Mrs. Liu, who was lying limp on the ground without reacting. She jumped up from the ground again and pounced on her man.

"Liu Shihao, are you crazy? You want everything except a son, right?!"
