Chapter 325 Nothing
Drip.
It rained at night.
Jiang Yunze bled a lot after being stabbed by Qi Caiwei.
The wound was a bit deep, but not fatal.
After seeing the doctor, he found that his son was still unconscious.
Old Madam Jiang was furious. She rushed to the woodshed and started punching and kicking Qi Caiwei, and slapped her several times.
"You little bitch, I haven't even settled accounts with you for what your father did. He almost cost my son his life and implicated the Jiang family. And yet you dare to murder your own husband? If anything happens to my son, I'll tear your tendons apart and skin you alive."
She never gets involved in things, mainly because there are too many people in the house and she can't manage them clearly.
Qi is the one taking care of things these days.
Although Qi was a concubine's daughter, she was still the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and was filial in her daily life.
She even agreed to her son marrying Qi.
I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Qi family, causing my son to go to jail.
The bitch Qi Caiwei even wanted to kill her son.
Damn it!
If she wasn't afraid that the rumors would affect her son, she would have wanted to deal with this woman right now.
Madam Jiang retracted her foot and glanced at Tao Tao. "Send this bitch back to the farm tomorrow morning and keep a close eye on her. Don't give her any food. Let her starve to death."
I've been sent there once, and I don't know how I escaped back.
I won’t give her any food this time. Let’s see if she still has the strength to escape. If she does, I’ll break her legs.
Tao Tao nodded in agreement.
Although Mrs. Jiang is old, she comes from a poor family and is used to doing rough work, so she is very strong.
The kicks on Qi Caiwei were very powerful.
Qi Caiwei's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Old Madam Jiang fiercely, "Do you still want to starve me to death?"
I won't let you get what you want.
She sneered, tears welling in her eyes. "Jiang Yunze deserves to die, and you, an old hag, deserve to die even more. If your son hadn't schemed against me, I wouldn't even look at him based on his family background, let alone marry him as a concubine. He's not worthy at all. I used my dowry to subsidize your Jiang family, and my father was kind to him, promoting him step by step. In the end, not only are you ungrateful, you even betrayed my father and my Qi family. People like you who are so heartless and ruthless don't deserve a good death and will be deserted by everyone..."
“Pah…”
A crisp sound.
Madam Jiang slapped him hard, "Bitch, how dare you curse my son!"
Qi Caiwei was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
At this moment, all her grief and anger were intertwined.
She had wanted to say these words for a long time. She had disliked this old woman for a long time.
She gritted her teeth and continued, "Old hag, don't think you look like a decent person in your splendid clothes. Inside, you're just a cunning and vulgar country woman. You're only a burden to your son and a disgrace to him if you live. You thought the gold and silver you looted would take you to the grave, but in the end, it just benefited that woman Lu Qingyao. It was all for nothing..."
"Shut up." Old Madam Jiang angrily stepped forward and grabbed her neck, tearing and biting it.
Like a shrew.
Tao Taoguang felt pained just watching this, so he had them pull them apart and sent the angry old lady back home.
But I felt extremely happy.
She asked someone to lock the woodshed and then went back to the house to continue looking after Jiang Yunze.
He also asked his servants to secretly take Jiang Zijin to meet Qi Caiwei.
She couldn't be like those noble ladies in the capital, who smiled prettier than anyone else but could stab you the moment they turned around.
They are all mothers and daughters. No matter how bad a person is, they have things and people they care about.
This meeting might be the last one.
She still felt a little bit uncomfortable.
After Tao Tao coaxed the child to sleep, she went to look after Jiang Yunze.
Looking at the sleeping and handsome face, she fell into deep thought.
Why can a person’s appearance become more beautiful as he grows older, but his heart becomes more crooked?
How many shameful thoughts are hidden beneath this face?
If she could go back to the past, back to Taoxi Village, and if Brother Yunze passed the imperial examination before her ex-husband, her father would agree to let Brother Yunze marry her.
Even if they never pass the imperial examination again, they can still stay together for the rest of their lives.
There were only the two of them, no other women.
The person in the bed woke up and fell asleep again.
The woman in front of the bed did not sleep all night and thought a lot.
The rain keeps falling.
Jiang Zijin was confined to the house by her father, but she neither cried nor made a fuss.
She knew crying was useless.
If she really wanted to go out, this door couldn't hold her back.
When she helped A'niang manage the household, she had placed her own people in the mansion, both in the front and back yards.
So as soon as something happened to A Niang, she was the first to get the news.
What can I say about A Niang?
Very filial, but also very stupid and has no patience at all.
He actually doesn't know the principle that as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
Foolishly, he ended up losing everything.
Although the Qi family was confiscated and exiled, they are still alive.
The Concubine Zhaoyi was only demoted in rank, which doesn't mean she won't be able to regain favor in the future.
My grandfather was sentenced to death in the autumn, but there was still some time left, so there was no doubt that there was no room for maneuver.
My mother was so foolish as to risk her life to avenge my father.
It's just too stupid after all.
Since Daddy was hurt this time, the old hag will definitely not let Mom go.
Maybe after a few days, he will find an excuse to get rid of her.
The old woman didn't learn anything else when she came to the capital, but she did learn a lot of ways to make money and torture her daughter-in-law.
But it doesn't matter.
She would rescue A Niang and then go back to rescue her in the second half of the night when it was quiet.
Unexpectedly, Tao Tao actually agreed to let her see A Niang.
Qi Caiwei was originally very worried about her daughter, but then she thought that Jin'er was not only her daughter, but also Jiang Yunze's flesh and blood.
Even if I vent my anger on her, I won't do anything to her.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the servant bringing his daughter in.
"Jin'er, what are you doing here? Go back quickly."
"It was Aunt Tao who asked me to come." Jiang Zijin couldn't help but tear up when he saw his mother's appearance.
It must be that old hag.
It was all in vain that her mother gave her so much gold and silver.
He was so cruel.
"Mother, how did you escape from the village? Is grandma okay?"
"Well...she's...fine."
Qi Caiwei didn't know how to reply to her daughter, so she changed the subject.
Holding her daughter's hand tightly, she said, "Jin'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you from now on. You should be patient and don't provoke Aunt Tao. Wait for another three years until you reach the age of marriage. Your father will probably find a good marriage for you. Then you won't have to worry about their feelings when you get married."
Although Jin'er is young, she is a man of great plans and is even better than her mother in many things.
Life shouldn't be bad without her.
"I understand, mother." Jiang Zijin nodded.
My mother is right about this.
With Daddy's character, not only will he not do anything to her, he will also find a good marriage for her within his ability.
Of course, the prerequisite is that she is obedient.
The fourth-rank Minister of Rites is neither too big nor too small, and if you want to keep your position, you may even get promoted.
We have to find more ways.
And marriage is the best way to form an alliance.
Jiang Zijin brought some medicine for the wound and asked his confidant to get him a new set of clothes, which he tried to wear for a long time.
The servants in charge turned a blind eye.
After all, the third lady's surname is Jiang, and the servants usually receive their monthly wages from her, as long as she doesn't intend to let them go.
They also dare not offend.
I just feel that the third girl stayed in there for too long, but I can understand that.
This meeting might be the last one.
While Jiang Zijin was changing A'niang's clothes, he leaned over to whisper in her ear, "A'niang, I have sewed a lot of banknotes into your new clothes. After I leave, someone will come to rescue you. Take the banknotes and take your grandmother to find a doctor. Then take her out of the capital and go to Jiangzhou to find your brother."
Qi Caiwei opened her mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.
She didn't dare tell her daughter that her grandmother who loved and loved her was gone. Only by not knowing anything could Jin'er be at ease and be Miss Jiang San.
What she is worried about now is her son Pei'er, and she owes him the most.
I originally planned to bring him back to Beijing in one or two years.
I didn't expect it to be like this.
She is not a good mother, nor a good daughter.
After fighting for half a lifetime, in the end, everything ended up in nothing.
"Jin'er, if possible, please go see your grandfather on my behalf and kowtow to him."
"Jin'er, mother left you some dowry, hidden in the farm outside the city."
"Jin'er, in the future, can you go to Jiangzhou to see your brother..."
