When Jiang Weizhen returned home dejectedly, before he could explain anything, he was called over by Old Madam Jiang in a hurry.
Jiang Qingwan pouted, "Grandma must be trying to get Dad to sever his ties with the Yu family."
[This happened in her previous life. She cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself, forcing her father to stop interfering in the Yu family's affairs.]
However, although my father is foolishly filial, he will never compromise when it comes to justice. He firmly believes that my uncle will not cheat, so he did not listen to what Madam Jiang said.
Old Madam Jiang was so angry that she almost broke off relations with their second branch.
It was only because the mother knelt in the backyard and begged for a long time, and Jiang Weizhen firmly disagreed with the division of the family, that the matter was finally dropped.
Jiang Qingwan actually wanted to break off the relationship, but with her father's personality, she would never agree.
But she was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice that when she was thinking about this, Yu Shulan's eyes flashed slightly.
In the backyard
When Jiang Weizhen arrived at the backyard, his brothers were all there, seemingly waiting for him.
"Mother, eldest brother, third brother."
"I heard that you entered the palace today?"
Old Madam Jiang's face was ashen. This second house was becoming more and more troublesome.
"yes."
"Plead for the Yu family?"
"It's not a plea, it's a request for justice. Big brother would never do such a thing."
Jiang Weizhen insisted.
"The traitor."
Old Madam Jiang smashed the teacup in her hand onto Jiang Weizhen's forehead, and blood immediately flowed down his forehead.
Liu was shocked and didn't expect that Madam Jiang would be so angry.
Mrs. Jiang's anger did not ease at all when he was injured, as if the person standing in front of her was an enemy, not her own son.
"The foundation your father built will be destroyed in your hands."
If Yu Shulan heard this, she would definitely refute it. What about the foundation built by General Jiang?
There were only a few soldiers there. Although he had fought under the previous emperor, his qualifications were average, and he was only an ordinary general with tens of thousands of soldiers in his entire life.
The Jiang family has developed to its current status thanks to Jiang Weizhen's fighting on the battlefield.
Jiang Weizhen’s current achievements are all due to himself, not anyone else.
But in the mouth of Old Lady Jiang, it seemed as if Jiang Weizhen was able to become a general with a large army only because of his father.
But even though everyone understood these principles, no one present dared to speak out. The first and second wives were eager to belittle Jiang Weizhen.
And Jiang Weizhen himself would not disobey his mother at this time.
So this crime was directly pinned on him by Old Lady Jiang.
"And Chu Yuan's official position, will he be dismissed as well?"
Although Old Madam Jiang didn't like her grandson Jiang Chuyuan, he was the top scholar after all, and it would be difficult for their Jiang family to have another one.
The military power was taken back, and even the title of top scholar was taken back.
"It's not about dismissal, it's about investigation. Someone reported it, so the Emperor will naturally investigate thoroughly. Once the truth comes out, everything will be restored."
"What do you mean the truth is revealed? The Yu family committed fraud. Now we have witnesses and evidence."
Old Madam Jiang said impatiently.
"You should hurry to the palace and admit your mistake to the emperor. Tell him that you were deceived by the Yu family and sever all ties with them. What they did has nothing to do with our Jiang family."
"Whether there is a connection or not is not up to us to decide. Now Tang Yi is also suspected of this. He has a good relationship with our Jiang family. This is well known. Only by investigating everything thoroughly can we clear our name."
Jiang Weizhen explained that no matter whether he went to the palace to plead for mercy today or not, Prince Chen would not give up the opportunity to drag him into the water.
In that case, he jumped into the water himself.
"Rebellious son, this is your second house's business, don't implicate the entire Jiang family."
Madam Jiang asked angrily, "Do you want to sever ties with the Yu family?"
"Shulan is my wife, and the Yu family is my other family. How could I possibly kick someone when they're down?"
Jiang Weizhen said firmly, "This relationship must not be severed."
"Okay, if you don't want to sever ties with the Yu family, then sever ties with our Jiang family. From now on, your second branch will move out of the Jiang family, and anything that happens to you will have nothing to do with us."
Madam Jiang's words shocked Jiang Weiren and Liu. Why did she suddenly want to break off relations with the second house?
The Jiang family relies entirely on the support of the second branch. Now they have only temporarily taken away the military power, but have not punished anyone.
Could it be that Old Madam Jiang is so angry that she has lost her mind?
"Mother, severing ties is a big deal, so please think twice." Jiang Weiren comforted her.
"If we don't sever our ties, our Jiang family will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later."
As she spoke, Old Lady Jiang glanced at Jiang Weiyan, and after receiving a positive answer, she spoke even more firmly.
"Anyway, you can only choose one between the Yu family and the Jiang family?"
"Mother, do you really want to do this?" Jiang Weizhen's body trembled slightly.
"That's right, you are not the only son I have. I can't just take care of you."
Old Madam Jiang said meaningfully.
"Since mother has made up her mind, let's invite the clan leader over tomorrow so we can sign the severance agreement."
Jiang Weizhen, who was thought to be strongly opposed, agreed directly.
Even Old Madam Jiang was stunned for a moment. This son has always been filial and had said that he would not divide the family.
Since I was the one who suggested breaking off the relationship, shouldn't he kneel down and beg me to let him stay in the Jiang family?
"It seems that my second brother is determined to choose the Yu family." Jiang Weiyan, who had been silent for a long time, said with great sorrow.
"Yu Zhongxin committed fraud, and there is evidence. His trial will be held soon. Second brother is so stubborn and has never considered the Jiang family at all."
"It's not mother who's forcing you, it's my second brother who's forcing us."
"Once the Yu family is convicted, the stain on my second brother will never be cleared."
"The Yu family is innocent." Jiang Weizhen continued, "Since mother and third brother feel that my actions will bring trouble to the Jiang family, then we should just cut it off."
"Then can we break it off now and wait until things calm down before Wei Zhen comes back."
Jiang Weiren said this wishfully, because he was afraid of being dragged down by Jiang Weizhen, but he was also reluctant to give up the glory that Jiang Weizhen brought to the Jiang family.
It's ridiculous.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Mrs. Jiang might have had the same idea before, but after her youngest son talked to her today, she no longer counted on the second house.
I even wanted to drive them away quickly.
Even without Jiang Weizhen, she still has Jiang Weiyan. Anyway, the Yu family is finished this time, and it will be difficult for Jiang Weizhen to make a comeback.
She was also fed up with the second wife and took this opportunity to kick them out.
In this way, in the hearts of the people, the Jiang family can still be known as a family that sacrifices relatives for the sake of justice.
Even the emperor would look up to them, so why would they have to worry about no one in the Jiang family being able to take over?
Thinking of this, her mood also lightened a little, "Tomorrow morning in the main hall, I will sign this severance book."
