Dream of the Red Chamber: I can see the hidden labels of the beauties.

In Jia Zhen's eyes, Jia Can was a bastard son who lived like a rat, hiding in this dilapidated courtyard all day long. He was not even allowed to attend the regular banquets in the mansion, yet he dared to shamelessly claim that he was acting on the orders of the Emperor Emeritus. He probably hadn't even heard of the Emperor Emeritus's name more than a few times.

That's an absolute joke!

Jia Can remained unmoved, instead growing even calmer, his gaze turning cold as he slowly replied:

"Of course I've seen it. If I hadn't, how could I dare to say such a thing?"

"Jia Zhen, you have been lawless and immoral in the Ningguo Mansion, committing all sorts of heinous acts that have aroused the wrath of both gods and men. Killing you is not only an imperial decree, but also in accordance with the will of Heaven."

Seeing that Jia Zhen's expression was calm and his words were resolute, not like he was talking nonsense, Jia Zhen's smile froze, his face gradually darkened, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he stared at Jia Can and sneered:

"Hmph... Jia Can, I think you've really gone mad, daring to slander me like this? Do you have a death wish?"

Jia Can stared directly at Jia Zhen, meeting his fierce gaze without flinching, and retorted loudly:

"Slander? Don't you know how many evil things you've done? Not to mention others, just look at me. It's one thing to be harsh and mean, but to actually try to lay a hand on me is to do something as beastly as that."

"As for others, let's not talk about those far away. Just take Banmei, who was beaten to death by you the other day. Although she was guilty, her crime did not warrant death, but you beat her to death directly, treating human life as worthless."

"The reason why the Emperor Emeritus issued this order is mainly because you have become so licentious that you have no moral bottom line and dared to lay a hand on your daughter-in-law. You may not know what the true identity of Rong-ge's daughter-in-law is."

In his last sentence, Jia Can slowed down his speech, as if he were pronouncing a death sentence for Jia Zhen.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhen suddenly felt a bad premonition and a chill ran through his body. He felt that what Jia Can said was true, not nonsense, but a well-founded accusation.

My ears started ringing, my mind became foggy, my heart started racing for no reason, and I even felt some pain.

Jia Zhen instinctively clutched his chest, feeling tightness and shortness of breath. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He struggled to his feet, his legs trembling uncontrollably. He stared at Jia Can, his lips quivering.

"What...what did you say? Rong's daughter-in-law...what other identity does she have?"

Seeing this, Jia Can knew that the poison had begun to take effect. He couldn't help but marvel at how potent the poison Yu Hui had given him was, as it had already taken effect in such a short time.

On the surface, he remained calm, but knowing that Jia Zhen was doomed, he slowly revealed the truth:

"She is the only bloodline left by the former crown prince, the direct granddaughter of the retired emperor. How dare you, a beast worse than a pig or a dog, lay a hand on her? Aren't you courting death?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhen suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes and the world spinning around him. He was filled with both shock and anger.

He was horrified by Jia Can's revelation of Qin Keqing's background and furious that Jia Can dared to call him worse than a pig or a dog. How dare his half-brother, whom he had always looked down upon, be so insolent to him?

In an instant, Jia Zhen's face turned ashen. He held his forehead with one hand, and with the other, he slowly pointed at Jia Can, his hand trembling violently, and roared:

"You...you, how dare you...how dare you humiliate me like this! I'll kill you first!"

As he spoke, he mustered all his strength and staggered toward Jia Can, his eyes bloodshot and his face contorted as if he wanted to devour Jia Can alive.

However, by this time the poison had already taken full effect in his body. As soon as he took a step, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, like being stabbed with a knife, which made him bend over immediately.

Immediately afterwards, I felt dizzy and my vision blurred, and I saw stars. My limbs also started to lose control of me, and I had no strength at all.

Struggling, he took another step forward, but his foot slipped, and his body swayed violently. Before he could even reach Jia Can, he could no longer support himself and fell heavily to the ground, his body beginning to convulse violently.

Jia Can looked down at him, his gaze icy and cold, his face devoid of any sympathy.

He neither retreated nor stepped forward, but quietly watched Jia Zhen struggle on the ground.

A gleam of triumph flashed in his eyes; the resentment that had been building up for so long finally found an outlet, and a surge of exhilaration welled up within him.

He raised his foot and stomped heavily on Jia Zhen, the force of which made Jia Zhen convulse even more violently.

Looking down at Jia Zhen at his feet, he said bitterly:

"You beast, worse than a pig or a dog! You should have died long ago. Keeping you in this world is nothing but a scourge. Hurry up and go down to the eighteenth level of hell to atone for your sins."

"I can tolerate you withholding my monthly salary, humiliating me for years, and treating me like a lowly servant. But you should never have had such filthy thoughts towards me, and you should never have had any designs on Ke Qing."

"You've forced so many people to their deaths, made Qin Keqing live in constant fear and tears, and caused the entire household to live in fear. A beast like you deserves to die a hundred times over!"

"Today, I, Jia Can, act on behalf of Heaven to send you on your way. This can be considered as ridding the Ningguo Mansion of a scourge. When you arrive in the underworld, remember to give a proper account to Lord Ning and explain all the evil deeds you have committed over the years!"

At this moment, Jia Can poured out all the grievances and anger that the original owner had accumulated over the years, and also revealed his disdain and contempt for Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing he could die with Jia Can. His eyes were filled with resentment and malice, but he could do nothing about it.

The deadly poison in his body had numbed his nerves, causing his hands and feet to stiffen, making him unable to even reach out. He could only be ruthlessly trampled under Jia Can's feet, feeling extremely frustrated.

To think that he, a dignified lord of Ningguo Mansion and a hereditary third-class general, was trampled underfoot by this half-brother whom he had always looked down upon, unable to move, this humiliation was more painful than poison to him.

Jia Zhen's consciousness gradually became blurred, the candlelight in front of him flickered, and Jia Can's face became distorted in his vision.

He wanted to curse back or call for help, but a surge of hot, metallic blood gushed from his throat, choking him and rendering him speechless, only able to utter muffled sobs.

Her eyes were wide open, filled with resentment as she glared at Jia Can. Blood began to trickle from the corners of her eyes, and two streaks of blood snaked down her cheeks, looking quite terrifying in the candlelight, like a vengeful ghost.

"Jia Zhen, you beast! How dare you treat your great-grandfather Jiao like this! I'll kill you! Do you really think I'm easy to bully...?"

Just then, a burst of angry curses came from the doorway, full of passion and resentment, growing ever closer.

A moment later, Jiao Da, with disheveled hair, stumbled in like a madman.

His clothes were disheveled, his face was covered in mud and horse manure, his eyes burned with raging anger, and he gripped a short knife tightly in his hand, the blade gleaming coldly.

Jiao Da rushed into the house and saw Jia Zhen lying on the ground. He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't have time to think about it or ask why. The resentment and anger that had been building up in his heart for a long time erupted like a volcano and could no longer be suppressed.

Without a second thought, he rushed over and stabbed Jia Zhen in the abdomen with a knife!
