I used to think Mrs. Jiang was quite pitiful, but now I don’t know who is more pitiful.
Jiang Shuyue came out from behind Murong Tianci and was about to approach Jiang's mother when she was driven back by the smell.
Jiang Shuyue was very confused: [How can I let my mother take a bath? I really can't stand this smell!]
Mother Jiang was so embarrassed that she tapped her toes, not knowing what to do.
Zhou Yunshen came in at this time and glanced at the hem of Jiang's mother's skirt: "Mother-in-law, your clothes are stained with dirt. If you don't mind, let the servants help you bathe and change clothes, and then prepare dinner."
"Huh? I must have gotten it accidentally when I got off the bus. I really am getting clumsier as I get older. You guys sit and chat for a while, I'll be right back."
Jiang's mother immediately left with the servants and ordered the maid beside her, "Find two trustworthy people to go back and quickly find everything that smells bad in my room. Then find an excuse to punish Chunhua. Remember to do it quietly and don't let anyone know."
"Madam, why don't you just sell that little bitch out? She's a traitor and she's plotting to murder you and the eldest master. She deserves to be cut into pieces!"
Mother Jiang shook her head. "Not yet. You must control the person. When the critical moment comes, I will act immediately and bring the Jiang family to ruin!"
The nanny nodded, sent her into the bathroom, and immediately called two of her own people over. After giving them instructions, she returned.
Jiang An happened to be staying at the Imperial Examination Hall these days and couldn't come back.
He was still smugly looking forward to the future in the Imperial Examination Hall, not knowing that Chunhua had already received more than a hundred injections, and her young and pretty face was completely pale.
When Jiang's mother came back, she was lying on the ground dying, looking at her with deer-like eyes and begging for mercy.
"Madam, please spare me. I don't know what I have done wrong. Please don't listen to the slanderous words of this villain and blame me wrongly!"
Mother Jiang walked over and lifted her chin with the instep of her foot. "You are indeed a beauty. No wonder you want to be the mistress of the Jiang family."
"Unfortunately, you are not worthy of my position as the mistress, or the future young lady!"
"Someone, bring the things up."
The servant threw a few pairs of trousers in front of Chunhua, and Chunhua hurriedly threw the trousers away.
"What is this? I don't know. This servant knows nothing!"
"have no idea?"
Mother Jiang sneered, "You secretly hid the young master's underwear, doing such a shameless thing, and you still have the nerve to say you didn't know? Blame it on me for not disciplining my servants well, which is why you have such unreasonable thoughts!"
"But God is merciful, and I won't make things too difficult for you."
"From now on, you will stay in the washhouse and are not allowed to come out without my order."
The washhouse is a place specifically responsible for washing clothes for the master of the mansion, the first-class maids, and the servants.
Although it is not a low-level job, it is harder than other things.
The people working there are all old maids from outside and some women who do rough work.
Since Chunhua came to the Jiang family, she has been doing easy work because of her young age, good looks, and the fact that she can read and write a few words.
Although she was a servant, she lived a more comfortable life than some young ladies in other families.
She didn't want to lose this job, so she crawled to Jiang Mu's side and hugged her feet. "Madam, I was bewildered and had improper thoughts. I promise I will never appear in front of the eldest master again. Please forgive me, madam!"
Jiang's mother was a soft-hearted person. She took advantage of this and kept kowtowing and begging.
But Chunhua didn't know that Jiang's mother was no longer the same as before.
She can tolerate some small things, but she can't tolerate anyone who wants to harm her child, even if it's the king.
Jiang's mother kicked her away and slapped her hard. "Bitch! Ungrateful thing! Come, drag her away and give her twenty lashes of the cane. Then send her to the laundry room. She is not allowed to come out without my permission, and no one is allowed to see her!"
The two servants immediately dragged the man away, and the wailing sound suddenly resounded throughout the yard.
Madam Li said, "Madam, do you want to gag her?"
"Need not."
Mother Jiang's eyes swept over the servants below.
Today, she called all the servants over to make an example of them.
"For those who are loyal to my Jiang family, I will definitely ensure that they have enough food and clothing and will promote them with all my heart."
"However, I will not tolerate those who have evil intentions! This time, I didn't kill Chunhua because it was his first offense. If anyone dares to do it again next time, I will not show any mercy!"
The servants knelt in the yard.
Mother Jiang stayed for a while before leaving with satisfaction.
When he returned to the house, he was only accompanied by Nanny Li and two confidants.
Mother Jiang picked up the sachets and spices she had found and frowned, "Are these the things that were tampered with?"
Nanny Li nodded. "These are all new. The stitches are from Chunhua, and the spices were also delivered by her. I've had Doctor Zhao check them out, and there's definitely something inside."
Mother Jiang took a deep breath and trembled as she spoke, "A husband and wife for a day are bound by a hundred days of grace. I never thought that even though Jiang Liuli was gone, he still wouldn't let us go. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. Why is he so vicious?"
Nanny Li and the others didn't dare to speak.
They couldn't understand why someone would do this to their own son just because of an old Taoist priest's prediction?
Nanny Li: "Madam, why don't you destroy these harmful things first?"
Mother Jiang shook her head. "Such a precious thing, and he put so much thought into it, how can he destroy it?"
"Hasn't the old lady been complaining recently that we've neglected her?"
"Re-sew these things, adjust the spices, and send them to the old lady. Her son's good things should be tasted by her."
Nanny Li sneered, "That old rascal, it's time she paid the price."
One of the two confidants happened to know about spices, so they mixed the ingredients together using the materials in the mansion, and sent them to the old lady in an exquisite box the next day.
After watching her show off for a long time, Jiang's mother felt very cold in her heart and didn't want to stay any longer.
A few days later, the Spring Examination ended and a group of people came out happily. Jiang An stayed in the Imperial Examination Hall to mark the papers.
When he came out and heard that Jiang Shuyue was pregnant, she was already two months pregnant.
His face twitched uncontrollably.
King Huai came to get the test paper and personally delivered the good news to Jiang An.
When she saw his cheek twitching, she didn't forget to gloat over his misfortune: "How many women have been married for years without getting pregnant? The Queen didn't get pregnant until the second year of her marriage."
"Shu Yue is truly amazing. She's already pregnant after only six months. If she gives birth to a boy, he'll be the first legitimate son of the Zhennan Marquisate, and his status will be beyond words!"
"Master Jiang will surely achieve great success in the future. Congratulations, Master Jiang! Congratulations, Master Jiang!"
Jiang An's heart felt like it was being lifted up and hung in mid-air.
