Aunt Kang suddenly let go of Ji Xiu'e's arm, her hands flailing wildly in front of her.
"It wasn't me! I never meant to kill my second son! I was angry that he married Mrs. Wei, but I never wanted him to die!
It's all Mrs. Wei's fault! Before she married into the family, my second son listened to everything I said. After the fourth son, I doted on him the most. How could I possibly have harmed him?!
But ever since he married Mrs. Wei, he changed completely. He revolved around that woman and wouldn't even listen to me anymore... I was angry, yes, but he's my son! How could I possibly want him dead?!"
Aunt Kang was in a panic. Everything she said was just an attempt to clear her own name, but in doing so, she inadvertently confirmed the very things Ji Huan had accused her of.
