Mother? Son? The viewers were stunned.

With the streaming Systems camera angles, even if the viewers did not have Jiang Pengjis abnormally sharp senses, they could still see everything that had happened in the house. They were all dumbfounded by the strange development.

Niyade Zhaosi: That shocked me. Dont tell me this girl is the hosts bodys original owner?

If that was not the original owner, why would they call the second lady mother?

When the other viewers first read that logic, it made some sense. But after much thought, it became ridiculous.

Laosiji Lianmeng: Puuu. This is not the time to worry about this, right? Didnt you hear that voice?

Though the boys voice was still in the puberty period and it was hard to differentiate whether he was a male or female, if one were to listen carefully, they could still tell. The boys voice was most definitely male.

Jiang Pengji had called him a shit-stirring rod and that was quite true since he did indeed have a rod.

Some of her viewers expressed that they had been hurt by such a revelation. What was a boy pretending to be a girl for?

The viewers felt as though they had managed to get the girl of their dreams after much work. Then, when the time finally came to do the deed, they realized that their dream girls lower half looked eerily similar to theirs.

Life was bleak.

Wannian Luolikong: Wheres the trust between people? Why are we trying to hurt each other?

Shitang Dafan Ayi: Aww such a cutie is normally a boy. And I was right. (*/w*)

Jiang Pengji:

I thought I had to search the whole of Hejian. It seems like he delivered himself right to our doorstep. Jiang Pengji plucked a leaf, wiped it clean, and held it in her mouth. She looked sloppy and slovenly.

What are you talking about? the System asked.

Remember what happened last night? He is the mastermind were searching for. Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes.

Hes Meng Liang!!! the System was so surprised that it added a few more exclamation marks. Is he trying to sneak into the Liu residence?

I dont think thats his main goal, Jiang Pengji replied calmly. Instead of saying he snuck in, its more like he swaggered in. His goal should be to get us Lius to hide his identity. Dont forget, Meng Liang is being chased by the supposedly missing officer. That officer might be chasing him from the shadows and waiting for the opportunity to kill him.

But How did you realize that hes Meng Liang?

The System had thought that he was a real girl until he dropped his falsetto.

Based on Jiang Pengjis reaction upon meeting him, she had seen through his disguise. If last nights events had not happened, her impression of Meng Liang would have been a man disguised as a woman with an indiscreet behavior. But since she had known he was Meng Liang, it was worthy of celebration that she had not killed him on sight.

With your intelligence, I find it hard to explain, Jiang Pengji replied calmly.

System: F*ck!

Mother! I missed you Meng Liang could not stop crying.

You have your parents doting on you. With me as your mother, how can I compare? the second ladys expression showed that she had seen through his act, but she still had some love for him. Meng Liang was secretly observing her and saw everything.

Mother, youre saying that Im not filial and I should die? Meng Liang bit his lower lip. He looked at her with red eyes and stammered, You left father and the family, but have you thought about brother and me? How we suffered in the Meng residence?

His words were like a sharp knife stabbing into the ladys heart.

That cheap slave bewitched father and all these years she has been mistreating brother. She even brought in her own son, and now shes trying to get him in as one of the rightful heirs!

The lady watched the boy kneel on the floor and grit his teeth as tears spilled from his eyes. She then coldly remarked, So you see everything.

Mother! You have to save me! Meng Liang lifted his head. His face was wet with tears and he looked pitiful. If you decide to be a bystander, I will definitely die. Mother please save me. Im not afraid of death, I just dont want to die with a stain on my reputation. If I die, that woman will definitely not let brother off

The lady lifted a hand to her head as it started throbbing. A man should not cry so easily. Look at you now, how different are you from a daughter? That slave sure had her way to raise you like thatneither masculine nor feminine. You knew she had ill intentions and yet you never controlled yourself?

The ladys voice was strict, and her words scolding. Meng Liang looked like he was listening with respect, but he had balled his fists in his sleeves.

What trouble did you cause this time? the lady asked.

Mother, dont be angry. I didnt want it to turn out this way, Meng Liang quickly soothed her. I knew she was trying to put us brothers at a disadvantage, but Ive been putting on an act for so long that I cant tell which is the real me anymore But I swear to you, I never did all those heartless acts. I was framed by that woman. Shes trying to ruin me so that the child in her can have a seat in the family.

Get to the point! The second ladys breathing was erratic and she looked as though she was about to faint from anger.

Meng Liang stammered out everything that had happened in Meng County, but it was a different story from what had really happened.

The officers wife and daughter are dead. That has nothing to do with me. Its obvious that shes trying to frame me. But, but because of the way I always behaved, everyone in the Meng residence believed it. That woman took advantage of the situation and made father denounce me as his son. Then, he even wanted to cane me to death If I did not dress up as a girl to flee the house, I would probably be dead

When he said that, Meng Liang shivered as though he remembered being caned.

Most of Jiang Pengjis viewers thought Meng Liang seemed pitiful.
