As soon as Chen left, the old lady's complexion improved a lot, and she looked at Jiang Chenjue with admiration in her eyes.
"I am very relieved that you can protect Yin'er! You are husband and wife, you will prosper together and suffer together."
"Mom!" Chu Zhiyin took the old lady's arm, "Why are you here?"
"You also said that if mother hadn't come, you would have been bullied to death." The old lady stretched out her finger and poked Chu Zhiyin's forehead with a look of disappointment. "If the wife of Marquis Pingning is reasonable, you should be polite to her. If she is unreasonable, won't you use your status to pressure her?"
Yang, Yu and Wang looked at each other and smiled. They all felt that the old lady was so angry that she was confused. She taught her sister-in-law in front of them without worrying that they would learn to disobey their mother-in-law.
Chu Zhiyin lowered her head and smiled apologetically: "My daughter forgot because she was scared."
"Look at how little you have accomplished." The old lady glared at her daughter and praised Jiang Chenjue, "No one is as good as your husband."
Jiang Chenjue laughed dryly, "Madam Pingning Hou can't bear that I will never marry and be a stepping stone for her son all my life. The disappearance of the prince is just the right opportunity for her to make use of this opportunity."
Yang was surprised: "Use this to your advantage? What does she want to do? Let you and your wife continue to be stepping stones for the Pingning Marquis's Mansion?"
"That's impossible." Yu snorted coldly, "If she wants to control our sister-in-law, it depends on whether our Chu family agrees or not."
Wang looked at Chu Zhiyin and said, "You must remember what your mother said. The wife of Pingning Hou treats you with courtesy, so we should treat her with courtesy as well. If she makes trouble, you should follow her.
If it doesn't work, just stay away from her and ignore her. I think your general is going to break up with her, what are you afraid of?"
Chu Zhiyin glanced at Jiang Chenjue and felt sad for him. With an unkind stepmother, life would be the hardest for illegitimate sons and daughters.
No wonder he didn’t dare to propose to her back then. He was not yet fully grown, and it would have been difficult for her to marry him.
Now that he has the ability to separate it, he can protect her in the future.
Jiang Chenjue did not hide it and admitted openly: "The Jiang Mansion has nothing to do with the Pingning Marquis Mansion, whether it is property or other things, there is no connection.
"I moved to a separate residence and took away only my mother's dowry. The Pingning Marquis's residence did not give me a penny. I didn't plan to ask for anything. I had to rely on myself for everything. The wife of the Pingning Marquis did not dare to come to the Jiang residence to show off."
The old lady agreed with Jiang Chenjue's approach: "It's better to be self-reliant, so as not to be weak at the knees after receiving money from others. That's it! Let's go back first. Our two families are close, so if there is anything, send someone back to tell us."
Chen left, and they felt it was inappropriate to stay there, so they all went back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
Jiang Chenjue decided not to go anywhere and stayed at home with his wife, fearing that Chen would come back. If it weren't for his father's face, he would really report the case to the Jingzhao prefect.
He felt like he had a thorn in his side because Chen had sent someone to kill his mother.
But his father's temples were gray, and he couldn't bear to see him embarrass himself in the capital. If Chen came to provoke him again, he would really be unable to tolerate it.
The hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable.
When Marquis Pingning returned home and heard that Chen had caused a big commotion at Jiang's residence, he went to the small Buddhist temple in the backyard in a rage. Without saying anything, he just slapped Chen in the face several times.
"Evil woman! You have spoiled my good son. You have made my Jiang family extinct. I will kill you. Why are you blaming Jue'er for Yu'er's matter?
They asked the Imperial Observatory in the palace to approve the wedding date, fearing that there would be any rumors. Are you saying that the Imperial Observatory in the palace was wrong? Did the emperor trust them wrongly? Yu'er had an accident a long time ago, and you are blaming them for this?"
Chen covered her face and dared not speak.
In the past, she was the one who made the decisions in the backyard, so naturally she could do whatever she wanted. But ever since Jiang Chenjue talked to the Marquis and learned the cause of Aunt Qiao's death, the Marquis has changed.
If her son were still alive, she would not be afraid. But now that her son is gone, Chen's heart is in turmoil.
After beating Chen, Pingning Hou sat aside, filled with grief: "Evil woman! You have destroyed the century-old foundation of Pingning Hou Mansion! Yu'er has been taught by you, and she is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. You can't even keep such a dandy girl.
My Juer has great ambitions, why does he want to live in a separate mansion? Why is his mansion called "Jiang Mansion"? It's because he doesn't take Pingning Marquis Mansion seriously at all.
Yu'er is gone, and Jue'er is the hope of Pingning Marquis Mansion. If you dare to destroy her, I will grind your bones and scatter your ashes."
"Impossible, the Pingning Marquis Mansion belongs to my grandson."
As soon as Chen said this, Pingning Hou slapped her twice: "Fool! How can there be such a stupid person like you in the world? Your grandson is only two years old. How many years will it take for him to grow up?
Who knows what will happen in these years? How can the Marquis's mansion be left without a successor? I have a son, why should I rely on a child who can't even speak clearly?
Chen! Remember what I said today. If you dare to ruin my good deeds, you will never have an easy life. "
Marquis Pingning left after saying a few words.
Chen covered her face and knelt before the Buddha, begging bitterly.
I beg all the gods and Buddhas to keep Jiang Chenyu safe and sound.
If her son was really gone, the position of the Prince of Pingning Marquis's Mansion would definitely fall to Jiang Chenjue. Her grandson was still young and not qualified for the position of the Prince.
I have only one illegitimate son, and he is very sick. He is fourteen years old this year, and has to rely on medicine to survive for at least seven or eight months a year.
This was all her doing. If she hadn't taken action against the illegitimate son back then, she could have registered him under her own name and let him take over her son's position.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. She schemed all her life, but in the end she lost everything.
She had lived happily in the backyard for many years, but what about when she got old? Who could she rely on?
If Jiang Chenjue becomes the prince of a marquisate, will she still be able to live a good life in the future?
No, he cannot succeed the Crown Prince. He has already moved to a separate residence and does not belong to the Pingning Marquis's residence.
But what if the Marquis wants him to take over? Will Jiang Chenjue refuse? Is he related to his son's disappearance? Did he use some trick to plot against his own brother?
Thinking of Jiang Chenjue's cruelty and ruthlessness, Chen hated herself. Why did she show mercy in the first place? Why didn't she kill him when he was still a child?
Even if he didn't kill her, it would be better to give him a bowl of poison and make him live a life worse than death! So that he wouldn't come to upset her at this time.
The case was reported to the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. Marquis Pingning would go to inquire about the progress every day, which made the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture very worried.
He had already sent people to investigate everywhere, and found out that the Prince of Pingning had not returned to the capital at all, and no one knew where he had gone. But how could he tell this to the Marquis of Pingning?
Someone gave him a hint: "Why don't you go to the Protectorate's mansion? Maybe he can give you some ideas. The information the Protectorate provided to the emperor is accurate."
After hearing this, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin felt a little embarrassed. Could the Protector of the Country really know where Jiang Chenyu was? Was he really that powerful? What if he didn't know either? What should he do?
Also, if he asks the Duke of Protectorate about this, will people think he is incompetent?
After all, he was the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. Why did he go to ask the Duke of Huguo for advice when a case happened?
