The system suddenly rang out.
【Host! This gossip goes deep!】
【Jia Feng and his “white moonlight” were childhood sweethearts, and both families had already set a marriage date.】
【But Madam Jia, Liu Shi, took a liking to the Jia family’s wealth and schemed to force Jia Feng into marrying her instead!】
Feng Zhaoxuan glanced at Jia Feng’s expressionless face.
【So he hates Madam Jia?】
【Absolutely! And this entire trap—he’s been planning it for three whole years!】
【Wait… he even knew about the affair?】
【Not only did he know!】
The system sounded almost excited.
【He even helped push things along!】
Feng Zhaoxuan threw a peanut into her mouth and chewed it crisply.
【Keep going. I want to hear just how ruthless this guy is.】
【This is getting more and more interesting.】
The system got even more energized.
【Here’s the key point!】
【Jia Feng knew his younger brother had been feeding him infertility drugs!】
Feng Zhaoxuan froze.
【And then? He reported it to the authorities?】
【Nope! He just… took it.】
Feng Zhaoxuan looked confused.
【Is he insane?】
【Nope~】 the system’s tone turned strange. 【Because he already had a child.】
【His white moonlight had been living in another place the whole time, and their child is already five years old!】
【He was afraid she’d damage her body by having more children, so he simply went along with the plan… and saved himself the trouble of buying infertility medicine~】
Feng Zhaoxuan fell silent for a full three breaths.
【……Alright. I respect that.】
【There’s more!】
The system continued spilling secrets.
【He deliberately left books in Madam Jia’s room!】
【All of them were stories about lonely wives committing adultery!】
【His goal was to subtly guide her into cheating on her own!】
The peanut in Feng Zhaoxuan’s hand dropped.
【Holy crap! This guy’s mind is sharper than a needle!】
【He basically pushed his own wife into a pit!】
The crowd nearby was whispering too.
“Pushed his wife out like that?”
“This… this is too much…”
“But he was forced too! She schemed against him first!”
“That’s true, but still… this method…”
Jia Feng stood calmly in place, slowly straightening his sleeves.
His movements were unhurried, his face completely unreadable.
It was as if they were discussing what to eat for dinner.
【And that’s not all!】 the system lowered its voice.
【It was also Jia Feng who arranged for Gu Qingshan and Xiao Liefeng to live next door!】
【He already investigated them—they were freeloading playboys who specialized in seducing noble wives!】
【So he deliberately created opportunities for them to meet Madam Jia—】
【Step by step, letting them fall deeper and deeper!】
Director Li felt a chill down his neck as he stared at Jia Feng.
A man who appeared calm on the surface… but whose schemes ran this deep…
Terrifying.
Feng Zhaoxuan paused mid-snack.
【Wait…】
【System, even the incident where the younger brother threatened his sister-in-law… was that also part of his plan?】
【Bingo! Host is smart!】
【He intentionally leaked Madam Jia’s affair to Jia Ming!】
【Just waiting for the younger brother to lose control and go threaten her—】
【And as expected, Jia Ming took the bait and ruined himself too!】
Feng Zhaoxuan shook her head.
【He really was planning to wipe everyone out in one go.】
【Yes! Anyone who ever schemed against him—he wanted them all ruined!】
The two men in blue and red robes, if they heard this, would probably curse loudly.
They had only wanted a beautiful woman…
How did they end up as pieces on someone else’s chessboard?
At that moment, two servants dragged in two men.
One was Old Zhang, a neighbor of Gu Qingshan’s household, and the other was Xiao Liefeng’s steward.
Old Zhang trembled as he spoke.
“I-I testify…”
“Gu Qingshan goes to the Jia residence every night! He leaves at midnight and only returns at dawn!”
“One time I got up to use the toilet at night and saw it myself!”
Xiao Liefeng’s steward quickly added:
“I also testify!”
“Xiao Liefeng said he was going to the east of the city on business, but he was actually going to the Jia residence!”
“One time I followed him and saw him climbing over the wall into the Jia household!”
Jia Feng pulled out a stack of letters from his sleeve.
“Your Honor.”
His tone was calm, as if discussing something unrelated to him.
“These are letters Madam Liu hid in a secret compartment under her bed.”
“I found them by accident two days ago while looking for something.”
The magistrate took the letters and flipped through them one by one.
The crowd leaned forward, straining to see.
Unfortunately, they were too far away and could only wait anxiously.
Madam Jia collapsed onto the ground.
Her hands pressed against the stone floor, fingernails digging into the cracks.
Gu Qingshan and Xiao Liefeng trembled all over.
Their eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness.
They… had only wanted to flirt with a married woman…
How did it turn into this?
At that moment, another servant brought forward a young man.
He looked somewhat similar to Jia Feng, with matching facial features.
But his face was ashen, and blood stained the corner of his mouth.
Jia Feng pointed at him.
“My Lord, Your Honor.”
“This is my younger brother, Jia Ming.”
He paused slightly, his tone still calm.
“He also had an affair with Madam Liu.”
“And he’s the one who fed me infertility drugs for three years.”
Jia Ming trembled violently.
He had drugged his brother and threatened his sister-in-law…
If this came out, he would be lucky to survive, let alone escape punishment.
Madam Jia crawled toward Jia Feng, crying.
“Husband…”
Her voice was hoarse.
“I was wrong… for the sake of the children, please forgive me…”
“I won’t dare again…”
Jia Feng kicked her away.
“Children?”
His voice was icy.
“Those two bastards—are they even mine?”
Madam Jia froze completely, collapsing on the ground.
A woman nearby pulled her daughter’s sleeve tightly.
“Did you see that? This is what happens when you don’t behave as a wife!”
“You must live properly in the future!”
“Don’t learn nonsense!”
The girl nodded frantically.
Jia Feng took out a small porcelain bottle.
“This was found in my brother Jia Ming’s room.”
“The residue inside matches exactly the ‘tonic medicine’ that was mixed into what I normally took.”
Another servant brought a pharmacy apprentice forward.
The apprentice was so scared his legs gave out.
“I-I testify…”
“Jia Ming really did buy infertility medicine from our shop…”
The magistrate asked sternly:
“Jia Ming, do you plead guilty?”
Jia Ming’s face turned pale. His lips trembled for a long time.
Then suddenly, he collapsed onto his knees.
“Big brother!”
His forehead slammed into the stone ground again and again.
“I’m your real brother! Please spare my life for the sake of blood ties!”
Jia Feng lowered his eyes, lashes casting shadows beneath them.
He smiled.
A faint smile—but one that made everyone’s scalp tingle.
“Blood ties?”
“When you drugged me, did you think of blood ties?”
“When you seduced my wife, did you think of blood ties?”
【System, this Jia Feng is truly ruthless.】
Feng Zhaoxuan clicked her tongue.
【He calculated everyone into ruin.】
【Absolutely!】
The magistrate declared sternly:
“Men, arrest them all and send them to prison!”
“After thorough interrogation, judgment will be made!”
The guards stepped forward and dragged away Madam Jia, Gu Qingshan, Xiao Liefeng, and Jia Ming together.
Before leaving, Madam Jia turned back to look at Jia Feng.
Her eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness.
But Jia Feng ignored her completely and turned away.
The crowd quickly stepped aside, as if avoiding a plague.
Feng Zhaoxuan stood up and dusted off her sleeves.
【System, this family… not a single normal one.】
【Jia Ming is vicious and stupid, Madam Jia is unfaithful, Jia Feng is extremely scheming…】
【Even those two freeloaders aren’t good people either.】
【But…】
She paused.
【That white moonlight of his… she probably isn’t clean either, right?】
The system hesitated.
【Host! That white moonlight… is actually even more complicated!】
【On the surface she looks like a virtuous woman, but in reality she also cheated on Jia Feng!】
【And that five-year-old child… isn’t even his!】
Feng Zhaoxuan froze for two seconds.
Then burst out laughing.
【Seriously?】
【Absolutely true!】
The system said firmly.
【Jia Feng schemed against everyone—】
【But the only thing he never knew… was that the woman he loved most had already betrayed him long ago.】
The magistrate looked at Jia Feng’s departing figure.
A man who had meticulously plotted revenge against everyone…
In the end…
Was he just another fool?
He shook his head, not knowing what to say.
