Chapter 68 Homecoming

The Jiang family was particularly lively today, and many people gathered outside the gate to watch curiously.

"What is the Jiang family doing? They pulled dozens of carts, boxes, tables and chairs."

"Didn't you hear that the Jiang family's daughter divorced the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, and she is moving her dowry back to her parents' home."

"The Jiang family is really good at divorcing."

"Sister, we are home." Jiang Ning jumped off the carriage and turned around to help Jiang Shu get off the carriage.

Jiang Shu wore a veil, and the onlookers could not see her appearance. They could only guess that she was a beauty based on her figure.

Jiang Ning protected Jiang Shu and walked quickly into the mansion, isolating those malicious eyes from outside.

"Shu'er." Jiang's mother and father came out to greet them, and they cried with joy when they saw Jiang Shu.

"Dad, mother, I'm back." Jiang Shu hugged Jiang's mother, tears welling up in his eyes.

Father Jiang patted Jiang Shu's back and sobbed, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

The family reunited, and of course there were many things to say, but the most important thing right now was to settle down first.

"Your Shutong Courtyard has been kept. I have asked the servants to clean it up. Go and see if there is anything wrong." Mother Jiang wiped away her tears and accompanied Jiang Shu to settle down.

Jiang Ning followed behind them like a happy tail.

After six years, Jiang Shu stepped into her own mansion again, and she was filled with emotion.

"Take a look, is there anything missing? I'll ask someone to buy it." Mother Jiang took her around to check.

Jiang Shu shook her head and said, "Mother arranged it very well, nothing is missing."

"Gugu——"

"What's that sound?" Jiang Ning raised his ears and listened carefully.

Jiang Shu was a little embarrassed, and his stomach couldn't help making sounds again.

"Gu——"

Jiang Ning recognized the source of the sound and was surprised: "Sister's stomach is singing."

Jiang's mother was amused and slapped Jiang Ning in annoyance: "Your sister is hungry, why don't you ask the kitchen to prepare the meal."

"I'm hungry too, I want to eat too." Jiang Ning laughed and walked away quickly.

Half an hour later, the family sat together and had a weird reunion dinner.

After not having lunch and struggling for a long time, Jiang Shu was very hungry and everything tasted delicious.

"This is also what Sister likes." Jiang Ning brought a plate of spicy river shrimp to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu couldn't stand the fishy smell, so the shrimp she ate needed to be deodorized with white wine and a variety of spices to ensure that there was no fishy smell.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Ning asked expectantly.

Jiang Shu nodded: "It's delicious, but it's too troublesome to peel the shells. I'll eat something else first and eat the shrimp later."

"I'll peel it for my sister." Jiang Ning volunteered.

He remembered that when he was a child, he also found it troublesome to eat shrimps. Every time, my sister peeled them for him. Now it's his turn to peel them for my sister.

"Ning'er has grown up and knows how to care for others." Jiang's mother smiled with relief.

Father Jiang looked at Jiang Shu with loving and distressed eyes, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Jiang Shu and said: "August 26 is an auspicious day, I want to hold a homecoming banquet for Shu'er."

"Ah," Jiang Shu was surprised, swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "Isn't it too ostentatious?"

It has always been a shameful thing for women to give up and leave home, and they have always been low-key and not publicized.

But when it comes to her, she actually wants to hold a big homecoming banquet, wouldn't it let everyone in the capital know.

"It must be publicized, let everyone know that it is my Jiang family that looks down on his Jing'an Marquis Mansion." Father Jiang said angrily.

"Yes, it must be a big event." Jiang Ning strongly supported.

"Mom." Jiang Shu looked at Mother Jiang and asked for her opinion.

Mother Jiang looked at the father and son who were determined, and said gently: "Let them go, it's better to vent their anger, so as not to get sick."

Jiang Shu also compromised after hearing this, she knew that they wanted to vent her anger.

Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

After Cheng Jinchu saw the imperial edict with his own eyes, he finally felt relieved.

"That's great, Yan Yang can stay in Shangjing, and we don't have to separate."

Shen Changze put away the imperial edict and said without much joy: "You rest assured, I still have a lot of things to do."

Cheng Jinchu knew that he was sad about divorcing Jiang Shu, so he asked: "Husband, do you blame me?"

Shen Changze said: "It has nothing to do with you, don't think too much."

He and Jiang Shu have reached a desperate situation. It's either divorce or divorce, and there is no room for maneuver.

Although he was sad that Jiang Shu left him, the money he had to pay back was a bigger headache for him.

Shen Changze walked into the Tingzhu Tower and saw the maids cleaning.

He went upstairs and entered the main room, and saw that it was empty. Even the bed had been moved away, leaving only an empty shell.

Shen Changze was shocked and stood there for a long time without moving.

In Huaqing Courtyard, Shen Qingrong and Lu Mingke were arguing fiercely.

"I warned you many times, but you didn't listen. You have completely disgraced the Lu family!" Lu Mingke's face was full of sorrow and disappointment. Shen Qingrong

said aggrievedly, "You beat me for outsiders and blamed me for losing face. Do you really regard me as your wife?"

Lu Mingke snorted coldly, "When you were having a secret meeting with others behind my back, did you ever think that I was your husband?"

Another secret meeting!

Shen Qingrong was furious and expressed the resentment that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time, "Aren't you and Su Rou childhood sweethearts? Why do you blame me?"

Su Rou is the daughter of the president of the Pingyang Chamber of Commerce. She grew up with Lu Mingke and they loved each other.

Four years ago, when the Shen and Lu families were discussing marriage, Lu Mingke had resisted and wanted to break off the engagement and marry Su Rou.

But Lu's father attached great importance to his promise and refused to allow it. Lu Mingke was even punished for this.

After Shen Qingrong married into the Lu family, Lu Mingke still had contact with Su Rou, and Lu's mother had also told Shen Qingrong to let Su Rou enter the mansion as a concubine.

But Su Rou was proud and refused to be a concubine.

Hearing Shen Qingrong mention Su Rou, Lu Mingke was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You are right, she has been wronged for so many years, and I will choose a day to welcome her after returning to Pingyang."

"What do you mean?" Shen Qingrong was stunned.

Lu Mingke said in a sullen voice: "Your elder brother can take a concubine, so naturally I can too."

"I won't agree." Shen Qingrong gritted her teeth.

Lu Mingke sneered: "Then you stay in Shangjing and be your daughter in the Marquis' Mansion."

"You want to divorce me?" Shen Qingrong's eyes widened, her pupils full of shock and disbelief.

Lu Mingke thought: "For the sake of our fathers' friendship, I will give you a divorce letter to save your face."

"No, you can't treat me like this. I am your legal wife who you have arranged a marriage contract with and married." Shen Qingrong's eyes were red, almost crazy.

Lu Mingke frowned in disdain: "Isn't Jiang Shu the legal wife of your eldest brother? How did the Marquis' Mansion bully her?"

"But...but I gave birth to your eldest son. What if I divorce Xingyuan?" Shen Qingrong thought she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

However, Lu Mingke said, "Xingyuan is too young to remember anything. When he grows up, he won't remember you at all. Besides, it's his shame to have a mother like you who has bad morals."

"Those who respect others will be respected, and those who humiliate others will humiliate themselves. This is all your own fault, and you can't blame others."

Shen Qingrong was stunned for a moment, and shook her head frantically and said, "No, I don't want to divorce, I don't want to be separated from Xingyuan. I am Xingyuan's mother, and no one can separate me from him."

With that, Shen Qingrong rushed out of the house, ran to the yard, and hugged Lu Xingyuan who was playing.

This is the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, and it is her life!
