After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 464 So, what is this all about?

Cui Rou was completely at a loss.

She never imagined that one day her own daughter would force her to make such a choice. Both daughters were daughters she couldn't bear to part with, so how could she choose?

Are you suggesting she just stand by and watch one of her daughters kill the other?

Cui Rou couldn't help but turn her pleading gaze to Jiang Junze.

As long as they take Jiao'er away from here, she won't need to make a choice.

Jiang Junze always doted on his mother. His and Jiang Liqian's mother was different from others. She was a mortal with no spiritual roots, a wife brought from the mortal realm by her father. In this dog-eat-dog world, she was too fragile and needed countless care and attention.

He understood her predicament and always showed her boundless consideration.

This was the first time he had completely ignored Cui Rou's pleas for help.

It's true that he dotes on his darling daughter; their sibling bond over the years is no joke. However, that doesn't mean she can lay a hand on his little sister!

He never chose Jiang Jiao'er; he simply didn't want his two younger sisters to be hurt without knowing the truth, and he hoped they could live together peacefully.

Even if my younger sister doesn't intend to pursue him today, he will still inform his father and expel her from the Jiang family. From now on, she can no longer be a member of his Jiang family!

Seeing that Jiang Junze hadn't said anything, Cui Rou became anxious: "Ze'er!"

Jiang Jiao'er was also frightened, and then pitifully called out to Jiang Junze, "Big Brother!"

Jiang Liqian was already impatient to watch them put on this family drama. She flicked her sword and was about to make her move.

Jiang Jiao'er screamed in fright and threw herself into Cui Rou's arms, crying out urgently, "Mother, Mother, save me, save me! I didn't mean to do that! I was just angry that my sister took away your love for me. I didn't mean it! Mother, save me! I'll never do it again!"

Cui Rou's heart softened, and her already limited hesitation vanished instantly. Before Jiang Liqian could make a move, she shouted in a trembling voice, "I choose her, I choose Jiao'er! You can't kill her, Qianqian, she's your sister too. Please forgive her this time!"

As she spoke, Cui Rou couldn't help but shed tears of sorrow: "What sins have I committed to have the daughters of you two sworn enemies, and why do you both have to drive each other to their deaths?"

"They are all my flesh and blood, I fed them with my own milk as they grew up, how could I do this, how could I do this..."

Jiang Liqian listened to her sobbing without any reaction, as if she were an outsider.

Cui Rou cried bitterly, but her emotions had no effect on Jiang Liqian whatsoever.

She stared at Jiang Liqian, who was radiating murderous intent and had already drawn her sword as she walked towards her. With a heavy heart, she turned around and knelt down in front of her with a thud: "Mother begs you, mother begs you, please? Mother promises she will never dare to do it again, really, really, Qianqian..."

Jiang Liqian's expression finally changed.

Three parts paleness, nine parts bitterness.

It turns out that she, who prides herself on being upright and honest, will one day bear the infamy of forcing her mother to kneel. Ha... ha ha ha.

She turned her head coldly, her voice trying her best to be stern, but the underlying hoarseness betrayed her sorrowful state of mind: "Mother, am I really your biological daughter?"

Cui Rou's eyes were red from crying: "Qianqian..."

She raised her hand to stop her: "I'll count to five. If you don't discipline her, then I'll have to do it myself."

"one.

"two.

"three."

"No, no, no..." Cui Rou frantically searched for the long stick on the ground.

"Four."

"I'll hit you, I'll discipline you, stop counting..." Cui Rou finally found the stick that Jiang Liqian had thrown down on the ground, picked it up with trembling hands, and slowly turned around to look at Jiang Jiao'er, who was covered in blood.

Jiang Jiao'er backed away in fear, crying out loudly, "Mother, Mother, I am the daughter you have raised with such hardship for more than ten years! From childhood to adulthood, you have never even raised your voice to me. How can you bear to hit me?"

Cui Rou was also in tears. How could she bear to hit her precious daughter? She had watched her grow up little by little. Even if she had done those heinous things, she couldn't bring herself to beat her again after she had already cut off one of her arms.

Finally, the stick in her hand fell to the ground as Jiang Jiao'er cried out, "Mother, it hurts!"

She suddenly pulled a dagger from her sleeve and resolutely plunged it into her heart.

Since one of her daughters wanted the other to pay with her life, she would use her own life to do so. In this way, such a tragedy of human relations would not happen to their Jiang family, and she would not have failed her husband's trust.

"Mother!" Jiang Junze belatedly realized something was wrong and rushed over to stop her.

However, before he could react, a porcelain-white hand had already grasped the dagger aimed at Cui Rou's heart.

The wound, oozing blood, was deep enough to expose the bone, yet Jiang Liqian seemed to feel no pain.

She said coldly, "Madam Jiang, there won't be a second chance for this move."

Cui Rou stared at her hideous wound and cried out as she reached out to hold her hand, but Jiang Liqian coldly dodged her.

She threw the dagger on the ground, walked towards the door, and the Flowing Snow and Floating Light ribbon, following its owner's wishes, left the door and window and was put back into her Qiankun bag.

As the person was about to walk away, Jiang Jiao'er swallowed hard, secretly delighted.

Sure enough, as long as her parents were on her side, nothing could happen to her.

However, before she could even utter a pitiful "Mother," several sword lights, their afterimages indistinct, attacked her from all directions. The next instant, a pig-like scream shattered the house and echoed through the sky.

When Jiang Liqian walked out of the courtyard, Ye An'an was still there. She curiously looked into the courtyard a couple of times and asked, "What did you do to her?"

Jiang Li walked past her without changing her expression: "Sever her tendons in her hands and feet, cripple her spiritual roots, and break both her legs as well."

Ye An'an immediately shut her mouth, a chill running down her spine.

Jiang Liqian stopped and turned to look at her: "Aren't you going to call me vicious?"

Ye An'an walked up to her curiously and said, "She did something heinous to you, so why would you be so cruel? Why should I call you vicious? Besides, on the day of the sect competition, Shen Qingqing stabbed you, but you didn't kill her. I admire your kindness. I don't know how you can be so patient."

Jiang Liqian suddenly realized, her eyes momentarily vacant.

"Hey, I didn't say anything harsh, why are you crying?"

"Hey, no, if I said something wrong, I'll admit it, okay? Stop crying!"

Ye An'an's panicked and helpless voice came from beside her ear. Jiang Liqian slowly came back to her senses and then realized that her face was actually ice cold.

So, what is this?

They kept claiming to be blood relatives with her, but had they ever truly trusted her or stood by her side? Even Ye An'an, who had only had limited contact with her, knew what kind of person she was…

She was always the one who was abandoned by them.

Two lifetimes, past and present.
