When Jiang heard Empress Xian ask someone to get the account book, she panicked.
She gave all the things she took back to her mother. Not to mention compensating ten items, it was good enough to get back the original ones.
Besides, those things are quite rare, where can I get the same ones?
"Your Majesty," Jiang pulled herself back to her thoughts and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. "I took the things from the storehouse out of helplessness. My family really needs money."
Upon hearing this, Empress Xian curled her lips and signaled Hua Rui that she didn't need to go.
"They took it, and that's it. Not to mention the things in the storehouse, even the money your family took from the shop is enough for an average family to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives."
Jiang pursed her lips and said, "The Jiang family is my maternal family after all, I can't just ignore them!"
My mother was right. Only my mother's family is reliable. Empress Xian questioned him like this, but Jin Ting'an didn't say a word to help him.
The two have been married for many years, and although they are not husband and wife in reality, they are husband and wife in name only. They are truly heartless.
Yu Yiluo was so angry that she laughed.
You can certainly manage your own family, but it's rude to treat your husband's family like an ATM.
"I have no right to interfere with the Jiang family, but I didn't ask you to take care of the things of the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion is not a fool. After saving your Jiang family, they must be responsible for your Jiang family for the rest of their lives."
Jiang was speechless and remained silent for a moment before she managed to utter a word.
"Your Majesty is right. I was just momentarily bewildered. I will ask you to return all the things to me later."
Anyway, whether it is Empress Xian or the general, they will definitely not stay in the general's mansion forever. She will fool them for the time being and then ask her mother for a solution.
His mother had no other abilities, but she was unmatched in her ability to cheat. He didn't believe that the general's family would like to air their dirty laundry in public.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, is Jiang trying to get away with it? It would be strange if you couldn't get your things back without using some tricks to deal with your awful mother.]
"Besides returning the things, your character is no longer suitable for being the mistress of the General's Mansion. I know it's not easy for women, and I don't want to make things too difficult for you. Please return what you took intact, and then divorce the General!"
When Jiang heard the word "divorce", she widened her eyes in disbelief and shook her head repeatedly.
"No, I was assigned to the general by the old lady. Your Majesty cannot arbitrarily let me and the general divorce just because the old lady is gone."
The general values his family very much and is filial.
That was why she dared to take things so unscrupulously, because she was sure that the general would not divorce her for such a small matter, and would only give her a few words of reprimand at most.
But Empress Xian actually asked for a divorce, which was impossible.
I would never agree to it anyway.
Although the people in the general's mansion were cold to her, they never treated her badly. Moreover, the backyard of the general's mansion was simple, so she lived a very good life.
Only a fool would agree to a divorce.
"If my mother were to see what you've done, she wouldn't want you to stay in the General's Mansion any longer."
Seeing that Empress Xian was determined, Jiang cast a pleading look at Jin Ting'an.
[Here it comes, she's about to start moral kidnapping. ]
"General, have you forgotten what the old lady said? You can't divorce me. This is unfilial."
Jin Ting'an knew that his sister wanted a divorce because of what he said yesterday, but Jiang was so tactless that he didn't want to save her face anymore.
"Since you don't want a divorce, I will directly write a letter of divorce and send it to the Jiang family. Now you can go back to the Jiang family and have them return all your things!"
[Great uncle, if you meet a scoundrel, you have to be even more scoundrel than her.]
…
Jiang returned to the Jiang family in a daze. Jiang's mother didn't notice anything unusual about her and asked her.
"Have your brothers found jobs? I see the General's Mansion is so big, it must need a lot of people to run around. Your brothers can help you when they go there."
"Yes, sister," the two echoed beside them, "If we can work in the general's mansion, we can get married soon."
Jiang frowned and interrupted them, "That's enough. The general has discovered what I've done and wants to divorce me."
"Now that we know what you did," Mother Jiang said anxiously, "what should we do? Besides divorcing you, are you going to return your things?"
With so many treasures, returning them would be like asking for my life.
"Mom, the things have to be returned, and the divorce papers will be delivered as well."
Mother Jiang slammed the table. "That's outrageous! I divorced you, but you're trying to get your things back. No way."
"What should I do?" Jiang looked at her mother. "They are still waiting for me to return the things. Why don't you return them and see if the general will forgive me?"
"Give it back?" Jiang's mother exploded. "Impossible! Don't even think about it. Once you enter my Jiang family, this thing is mine."
Then she grabbed Jiang and said, "Come on, I'll take you to seek justice."
Since the general's family wanted to divorce her daughter, she would make this matter known to everyone to see if the general's family still had any shame.
The mother and daughter went to the general's mansion angrily, and after getting off the carriage, they were stopped by the guards outside the door.
"No outsiders are allowed to enter."
Mother Jiang raised her hand and pushed the person who was trying to stop her. "Who are you? Open your eyes and see clearly. This is the wife of your general."
The guard remained unmoved, "There is no wife in the general's mansion right now, please leave."
"You're not letting me in, right?" Mother Jiang gritted her teeth. "Then I'll have your general come out to see me."
After saying that, he turned and walked down the stairs, shouting at the top of his voice, "Everyone, come and see, the General's Mansion is bullying people."
The general's mansion was located next to the street, and when she howled, people gathered around her.
Seeing that something was wrong, the guards hurried into the mansion to find Jin Ting'an.
"General, Jiang and her mother are shouting outside the mansion, attracting many passersby."
Yu Yiluo rolled her eyes.
[He's throwing a tantrum. I'm so excited. Mom, take me to see him.]
Empress Xian was a little amused and helpless. She asked the guards to leave and looked at Jin Ting'an.
"They are doing this to deliberately smear the reputation of the General's Mansion. Let them talk for a while before taking Aunt Zhang out."
Nanny Zhang is smart and can read people's expressions, so she is the perfect person to handle this matter.
…
Outside the general's mansion, Jiang's mother looked at the increasing number of people and began to complain about the general's mansion with tears and snot.
"Everyone, please judge for yourself. This general's mansion is too much. Just because you have military merit, you want to divorce your wife. It's pitiful that my daughter has been managing the general's mansion for many years, but it has ended up like this. Now my daughter can't even enter the door."
The people didn't understand what was going on, and when they saw her crying, they all started pointing fingers at the general's mansion.
At this time, the lacquered red door was suddenly opened, and Jin Ting'an and Aunt Zhang walked out.
"Hey, the person is coming out."
Nanny Zhang glanced at these people and finally her eyes fell on Jiang's face.
"Jiang, the General's Mansion and the Empress were merciful and spared you face, but I didn't expect you to bring your mother along to distort the truth and destroy the reputation of the General's Mansion."
