Jiang had a very strange feeling in her heart, and this feeling became stronger when she thought of Jiang Mingzhi.
It was obvious that the person she wanted to plot against was Jiang Mingzhi, and it should be Jiang Mingzhi who would lose her reputation today. But now Jiang Mingzhi is nowhere to be found, and Pei Jinrou has become the target of public criticism due to her loss of reputation!
It was obvious that she had not had time to arrange everything before the incident happened, but the protagonist had changed, and her son was also dragged into it.
She asked Madam Zhao to go find Jiang Mingzhi, just to let Madam Zhao lead Jiang Mingzhi to her yard, and then call her son over, and then bring people over herself, creating the illusion that a single man and a single woman were in the same room, forcing Jiang Mingzhi to bow his head in order to save his reputation. She did not want her son to fall into such a predicament.
But now these things are all out of her control!
Jiang felt as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at her, and when she didn't know anything, a trap had been set for her!
Qin was crying so hard that she was out of breath, her face was covered with tears, and she almost fainted.
She only has this one daughter. Over the years, because she has no children of her own, her husband has always favored his concubine, so that the eldest son and the concubine are in power in the family.
She is old now, and because of what happened in the past, it is impossible for her to have her own son. The favorite concubine is also a cunning woman. She dare not hope to have a son out of wedlock at all. Now she is thinking about finding a good marriage for her daughter, so that she will not be isolated and helpless at home if she has a good son-in-law in the future.
But now, her daughter's innocence was completely ruined, and all her expectations were dashed. Thinking of this, Qin looked at the stunned Jiang and wanted to kill her!
I have been very close to my mother's family in recent years because my sister-in-law is quite capable and is close to many noble ladies in Kyoto. She often brings her daughter back to her mother's family, and she also has some selfish motives.
Jiang had no daughter, and she had thought that if her daughter could please her, she could help with matchmaking in the future and would have more options. So when her daughter came to her house, Jiang would send her children to play together, and later no one paid attention to what was happening between the two children. Just because of an oversight, her daughter was bullied by Feng Baoan!
The room was full of people, some were laughing, some were making noise, some were crying, it was a mess.
Finally, Feng Xu arrived and arranged for all the ladies to be taken to the flower hall. She also arranged for people to clean up the mess, and only then did the situation stabilize.
Qin and the others from the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion were arranged to rest temporarily at Feng Xu's residence, while Jiang followed Feng Xu woodenly, still wondering what had gone wrong.
Feng Yushan, who had already learned of the incident at home, had rushed back with a gloomy face. Seeing his mother, he knelt down and saluted, "I am sorry for my negligence and for causing trouble for you."
When he looked up and saw that his wife looked like she had lost her soul, his heart sank.
Feng Xu's expression was also grim. "Alright, now that this has happened, we can only think of how to resolve it. If the banquet ends today, all the people in Kyoto will be talking about our family, and your career as an official will be over!"
This sentence touched Feng Yushan's heart. Feng Yushan stood up and went forward to support his mother. "I am worried about this too. Such a shameful thing happened in our family. Nine out of ten times, there will be an impeachment by the censors. I am guilty of not managing the family properly. I am afraid that His Majesty will not use me in the future."
Feng Xu nodded slightly, but her eyes fell on her daughter-in-law Jiang. The dragon-headed cane fell heavily to the ground, scaring Jiang so much that she almost jumped up.
"Jiang, tell me, what should we do about this matter?"
When Jiang looked up, she saw her mother-in-law staring at her with bright eyes.
She thought that this was all because of her carelessness in managing the household, and she knelt on the ground with a plop: "Master, mother, this is all my fault. I have really been..."
Hearing her endless excuses, Feng Xu slammed her cane against the blue brick floor again, her voice filled with a solemn and cold tone: "Jiang, in the past, I always turned a blind eye to whatever you did, but today, something so serious has happened, and you're still trying to shirk responsibility and make excuses. Then there's no place for you in this family!"
The implication is that if this matter is not handled properly, the Feng family will divorce the wife.
When these words were spoken, Feng's eyelids twitched, and she began to feel really panicked.
"Mother!"
Her eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Feng Xushi, then at her husband, and said in a sorrowful voice, "I was confused for a moment, but now that it has happened, I will leave it to Mother and Master to decide."
"Listen to me?" Feng Xu was obviously dissatisfied with this answer. "You are in charge of the household now, and you never ask me when making decisions. Now that something has happened, you want us to do everything?"
Feng Yushan sighed deeply, looking at his wife with a look of disappointment. "I always thought you were a virtuous and good housewife, but now you've caused such unrest in our home. I must have trusted you too much."
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang's explanation, he waved his hand and said, "Since you are not good at housekeeping, then let mother take care of the household affairs for the time being. You should stay out of the public these days."
"Sir!" Jiang's eyes widened, looking unwillingly at her mother-in-law and husband in front of her, "Are you going to lock me up forever?"
Feng Yushan glanced at Jiang. "Your son did such a shameful thing, and you dare to say that you have nothing to do with it? Just because I didn't say something doesn't mean I didn't know. Don't think that what you did was perfect. I'm going to give you some leniency, but don't be ungrateful. I told you not to scheme against others, but you relied on your intelligence and insisted on having your own way. Now you're hurting others and yourself!"
After Feng Yushan finished speaking, he supported Feng and walked forward.
"Mother, it's already happened. Now, I'm afraid we can only let Roujieer come in. Fortunately, An'er hasn't married yet, otherwise this matter would be difficult to resolve. How about we just say that An'er and Roujieer have already been engaged?"
Hearing her husband's words, Jiang stood up and took a few steps to chase after him, "No, if my son wants to marry, he must marry a real lady from a noble family. How can we let a woman like this be our legal wife? I don't agree!"
The mother and son both paused and turned to look at Jiang.
"What kind of woman is this?" Feng Yushan was displeased. Rou Jie'er was his sister's daughter after all. Even though he was somewhat disgusted by Rou Jie'er's words and deeds, he would not allow others to say that.
After all, they had been married for many years, and Jiang Shi still had some understanding of her husband. Seeing this, she immediately softened her attitude, "Sir, now that something like this has happened, it's clear that Rou Jie'er is not suitable to be the eldest wife. Although our An Ge'er is the second son, he can marry a virtuous wife. Do you want An Ge'er to be ruined by this woman in the future?"
