The Jiang Family's main hall was steeped in tension, as everyone sat upright in their seats.
"I'll save him, but only if he breaks off his engagement with Jiang Caiwei."
When Jiang Jiubai's finger jabbed at her accusingly, Jiang Caiwei's face instantly turned green.
"Jiang Jiu!" Jiang Caiwei practically exploded with rage. "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
"I'm not done talking yet," Jiang Jiu shot her a sideways glance, her tone maddeningly unhurried, and added with a smirk, "Break his engagement with Jiang Caiwei, and then marry me!"
The last two words landed like a hammer, silencing the entire hall.
All the servants in the room glanced toward the woman seated in the center of the room with eyes tinged in disdain—
The brother-in-law was gravely ill, and Jiang Jiu, who was Jiang Caiwei's half-sister, dared to make such an outrageous demand at a moment like this.
Talk about kicking someone when they're down.
