Chapter 4 Slander
After being bullied and robbed by the second and third wives for almost a whole year, she tried her best to protect the dowry her mother left for her.
It was not until the second branch of the family offended a nobleman and was beheaded that her grandmother, whom she had not seen for many years, returned to the Jiang family and acquiesced to the intimidation and coercion of her uncles.
The Anping Marquis's Mansion seemed even less willing to accept a relative who had gotten into trouble, so they agreed to help settle the matter, which made the Jiang family overjoyed.
She was forced to marry to escape from this cage, and ran into another cage without hesitation.
Jiang Qingning sneered: "At first I thought you were my salvation, but now I find that I was totally wrong."
"I have endured the coldness and cold words of the Xun family for eight years. These eight years have taught me that your Xun family is the real cage.
"What Anping Marquis Mansion, what aristocratic family? He's just a poor man who changed his career halfway through, and he dares to call himself aristocrat!"
"Jiang Qingning!" Xun Chen became angry and embarrassed.
He would never allow Jiang Qingning to insult his achievements in this way. The current state of the Anping Marquis' Mansion was clearly the result of his years of painstaking efforts.
As expected of a woman from the harem, she knows nothing!
Xun Chen returned to Beijing two months after his marriage, but he did not enter Jiang Qingning's courtyard until half a year later.
After entering, she was scolded harshly, forcing her to remain a widow for a full six months before she was willing to consummate the marriage. She has been ridiculed by countless people because of this incident to this day, and she has been unable to integrate into the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
After the wedding, the Jiang family returned to their previous peace and turned their backs on Jiang Qingning, claiming that they did not have such a shameless daughter.
He accused and insulted her loudly, saying that she had married out of the house to avoid disputes at a critical moment, and that she was unfaithful and unfilial. From then on, she was no longer worthy of being a daughter of the Jiang family, and there was no need for her to return home during the holidays.
The true faces of the Jiang family have long been revealed.
Zi Su was horrified. If the young lady divorced her husband and had a child, where would the child go?
"Daddy, you should divorce this woman as soon as possible. Mo Li doesn't like this woman!"
Xun Moli ran into the study, quickly passed Jiang Qingning, and threw himself into Xun Chen's arms and acted coquettishly, while looking at Jiang Qingning with disgust.
Jiang Qingning's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile.
Look, this is the son she carried for ten months. He only calls her "mother" when he asks her husband to divorce her.
And she had to rely on her husband Xun Chen for her whole life, and remained silent from beginning to end.
Xun Moli looked up at Xun Chen's cold face, and a hint of fear rose in his heart. He subconsciously turned his head and looked at Jiang Qingning, who also had a calm expression.
Xun Moli thought of what he had just overheard, with disgust on his face. He snorted coldly and turned his head, and the disgust in his heart became even stronger.
How dare this woman dislike him? He is the eldest son of the Anping Marquis’s family!
Blind evil woman!
"Daddy, this mother is not good at all. She always scolds and beats Mo Li. Mo Li doesn't want her to be her mother, Daddy!"
Madam Xun sneered, "Xun Jiang, you actually hit your own son! How can there be such a vicious woman like you in this world? You are truly disgusting!"
Jiang Qingning ignored Madam Xun and said to Xun Moli playfully, "Oh? Then who do you want to be your mother?"
She did scold and teach her son who had grown up in a wrong way, but she really wronged him.
This child can lie at such a young age. It is obvious that no one is truly teaching him well. All he is being taught is how to treat his biological mother.
Xun Moli turned his head, as ferocious as a wolf cub: "You vicious woman, I hate you!!!"
Jiang Qingning felt a sudden pain in his heart.
Eight years, even if it was a huge favor, it should have been repaid long ago.
She saw it all clearly.
"It won't be you, you cruel woman who abandoned her husband and children. I will hate you for the rest of my life. I only recognize Aunt Qingyi as my mother, you evil woman!!!"
Jiang Qingning couldn't help but feel his heart tremble and ache.
Old Madam Xun called out to her dear grandson in a distressed manner, and looked at Jiang Qingning fiercely.
"You vicious woman! How could there be such a heartless and evil woman like you in this world?"
"You deserve to be divorced. You are the most shameless person in the world. You only bring shame to our Anping Marquis Mansion. Son, just divorce her. Mother will find you someone better!"
Old Madam Xun hugged Xun Moli and cried, but there was only thunder but no rain, and her voice was terrible.
Jiang Qingning looked on coldly. The old woman was crying so hard that anyone who didn't know would think someone had poisoned her.
This Anping Marquis's Mansion is really unbearable to stay in for a moment.
"Aunt Qingyi is the best. Mo Li only likes to eat the Longjing shrimps she makes!"
Xun Moli's eyes turned and he shouted impatiently.
"Yes! If you had married Qingyi, how could such a thing have happened!"
Madam Xun answered with great energy.
Jiang Qingning smiled playfully, "My mother-in-law is saying that she wants my husband to divorce his first wife and marry a current official?"
"Are you sure that doing this will not violate the laws of the Dagan Kingdom?"
"It is against the laws of our dynasty for a minister to have an affair with another man's wife. He shall be rolled on a bed of nails a hundred times outside the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture."
Madam Xun's face instantly turned ugly, and she cried to Xun Chen: "Son, this is your childhood sweetheart, your good daughter-in-law!"
"It's fine if you contradict your mother-in-law without knowing right from wrong, but if she hits or scolds your son today, she'll be standing by your bed with a knife tomorrow. You'd better think it through!"
Xun Chen's face was extremely ugly, his eyes shot sharply at Jiang Qingning, and he asked:
"You actually beat your own son. How could there be such a vicious mother like you in this world?"
"From now on, you don't have to make Longjing shrimp anymore, because no one will like your cooking."
Xun Moli poked his little head out from his father's arms and said cunningly, "Mother, please be considerate. It's really that the food you cook is terrible. Even the smell of it makes me sick."
Jiang Qingning looked at Xun Moli, who seemed to be guilty and did not dare to turn around, burying his head in Xun Chen's arms.
Jiang Qingning's face was calm, as if he didn't care at all.
"Why don't you ask him why I punished him? If a five-year-old who can't even recognize the complete Three Character Classic is not taught now, how can he achieve anything in the future?"
She never asked her child to bring honor to the family. In fact, Jiang Qingning would feel at ease as long as he didn't grow up to be a playboy.
"Stop your nonsense! How could the legitimate son of the Marquis of Anping grow up to be such a dandy?"
Xun Chen retorted without hesitation, and his attitude towards Jiang Qingning was full of disgust.
Based on his observations over the past three months, Jiang Qingning knew very well that Xun Moli was extremely good at reading people's expressions and manipulating their hearts.
As expected, Xun Moli sniffed, let out a "wow" sound and started crying out.
"Daddy, Mo Li is not such a bad boy. Mother slandered Mo Li, Mother slandered Mo Li!"
