Second Master Jiang also persuaded, “That’s right, elder brother. Zhan’er volunteered to go to the battlefield. Sacrificing himself for the country can be considered a worthy death for him—”
Jiang Ancheng’s eyes turned red as he swung his fist at Second Master Jiang, “To hell with your worthy death! Are you hoping the Emperor will give our household some compensation so you can benefit from it?”
He could do nothing about his mother, but he could vent his anger on his tactless brother first.
Jiang Ancheng’s mood was already at its worst, and now he finally had an outlet for his emotions.
Second Master Jiang, having grown up studying, was a frail scholar. He was no match for Jiang Ancheng. Unable to dodge or run away, he was soon beaten and crying out in pain.
“Eldest son, have you gone mad? Why are you taking out your anger on your second brother?” Seeing her most beloved son being beaten, Old Madam Feng shouted in exasperation.
Jiang Ancheng ignored her and continued to beat Second Master Jiang furiously.
Old Madam Feng had no choice but to scold Third Master Jiang, “Third son, are you made of wood? Quickly stop your elder brother!”
She ignored the younger generation who were standing there stupidly.
The younger generation couldn’t intervene when elders were fighting.
Third Master Jiang inwardly sneered.
The second brother’s words were truly deserving of a beating, purely speaking without considering others’ feelings. It was good to let the eldest brother vent his anger.
Only after Old Madam Feng spoke did Third Master Jiang pretend to come to his senses and step forward to intervene, “Elder brother, stop hitting him.”
Jiang Ancheng kicked away the half-hearted Third Master Jiang and continued to beat Second Master Jiang fiercely.
When Jiang Si and Yujin arrived, they saw the chaotic scene they witnessed.
“Fourth Sister, you’re here.” Jiang Yi’s eyes were red, with traces of tears still visible.
Jiang Si nodded and called out, “Father—”
Jiang Ancheng’s raised hand paused as he turned to look.
Second Master Jiang seized the opportunity to break free, leaning on his eldest son Jiang Cang and weakly saying, “Quick, call for a doctor…”
His elder brother must have gone mad. Did he want to beat him to death to accompany Jiang Zhan?
“Uh.” Jiang Cang nodded blankly, still in a daze.
Was the second cousin dead?
After the emotional outburst, Jiang Ancheng stood still in a daze.
Jiang Si walked step by step to him.
Jiang Ancheng moved his eyes, his eyelids reddening as he said hoarsely, “Si’er, your second brother is gone…”
This man of iron finally broke down in tears before his most beloved daughter, just like when he lost his wife years ago.
