Jiang was stunned by Qingqing's words.
[She is a bad person. My mother originally had no intention of dealing with my daughter. She was the one who came to instigate and instigate.]
In the end, her mother listened to her and poisoned her, which was discovered by her father. Both her father and her mother planned to forgive her mother and keep the matter secret.
[But the news that Zhu Guifen deliberately poisoned her mother in order to harm her mother and the Duke's Mansion spread throughout the city.]
[My father was punished by the emperor, and the old lady forced my father to divorce his wife for the sake of his brothers' future. My mother returned to my uncle's house and hanged herself.]
[In order to avenge his mother, the eldest brother was conspired by Zhu and Hua Changxiao, arrested and imprisoned, and died of illness in prison! ]
Jiang thought, not only will she die, but she will also gradually kill her son! At this moment, she felt a chill in her heart, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Looking at Zhu's eyes, I suddenly felt they were so strange and hateful.
She still remembered that when she was a child, Zhu and her family went to Beijing and attended a banquet for the first time. Zhu was bullied by other noble ladies, who said that Zhu's behavior was not worthy of being on stage. It was she who spoke up for Zhu and introduced all her friends to Zhu.
Later, for some unknown reason, her friends gradually drifted away from her and finally stopped communicating with her. She still regarded Zhu as her good friend.
She still remembered that a good friend once said that Zhu had bad behavior. She argued with her good friend, but now she realized that she was stupid.
I used to think Zhu’s bad temper was outspoken, but now I realize that it was actually vicious.
Jiang closed her eyes, feeling so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe. She felt that her sincere treatment for many years was being trampled upon.
When Zhu saw Hua Qingqing running out, she was startled. When she heard Qingqing say that the concubine had good things to say, her face turned cold. She frowned and said.
"Lan'er, you should keep Qingqing away from that mistress. Otherwise, you see, she has learned to be disloyal and side with outsiders at such a young age."
"You are the outsider!" Qingqing was angry. "You are the outsider."
Jiang's face also turned cold.
How dare Zhu scold her daughter so viciously in front of her!
What else can a gentleman endure?
Jiang had a cold face and poured the tea in her hand directly onto Zhu's face.
Zhu jumped up in shock and screamed.
"Lan'er, are you crazy? Why did you throw tea at me?"
Hua Qingqing saw that tea leaves were still hanging on Zhu's beautifully combed hair, and her hair was limply sticking to her face, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jiang was still furious. She didn't smile, but stared into Zhu's eyes. She said harshly.
"Qingqing is my daughter, I won't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about her!"
"No, I'm doing this for your own good!" Zhu said angrily, "What's wrong with you? You can't tell the difference between good and bad people!"
Jiang slapped the table, stood up instantly, and looked down at Zhu with cold eyes.
"You did something behind my back. Do you think I don't know anything? You really take me for a fool!"
Zhu was instantly frightened by her momentum and panicked. Her eyes unconsciously avoided her.
"Lan'er, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"
[Wow, Mommy has discovered her true identity! That’s great! This way Mommy won’t be tempted by bad guys! ]
[My mother wouldn't have committed suicide, and my brother wouldn't have been imprisoned! ]
Jiang's eyes flickered, feeling a little guilty. She touched Hua Qingqing's head and held her in her arms.
I thought to myself, I will never be deceived again and make the same mistake again.
She looked at Zhu coldly again.
"Oh. You're not telling the truth, right? Then I'll..."
"No, Lan'er, please listen to my explanation!" Zhu's voice trembled.
Jiang stared into her eyes and said coldly, "Please call me Madam Gong from now on!"
"Madam, the Duke!"
Jiang curled her lips.
"I can listen to your explanation now! If you don't explain well... do you know what the consequences will be!"
Zhu pursed her lips. Jiang's husband was a duke, and Jiang had a first-rank imperial decree. But she, her husband was a fifth-rank official, and she had no imperial decree either. With such a huge disparity in status, if Jiang hadn't treated her as a friend before, she would never have thought of meeting Jiang.
But it was also because of this that she hated Jiang.
Obviously, Jiang was as good as her, and she was the one who met the Duke first. But why did the Duke choose Jiang as his wife in the end?
It must be because Jiang’s family background is better than hers.
She hated it and was angry, but it was of no use.
Later, she got married. Her husband seemed to be a good person. But who knew that he was a useless man who had no ambition to make progress. For more than ten years, he had been in the same position. Not only did he have a meager salary, but he also followed others and married concubines.
But looking at Jiang, the Duke is devoted to her.
Such a gap made her jealous of Jiang, and she didn't know when she started thinking about ruining her reputation.
When Zhu thought of this, a flash of malice flashed across her eyes. Her voice lowered involuntarily. She argued.
"Madam, I, I didn't do that! You must have heard other people gossiping about it behind my back. You can't believe it!"
Hua Qingqing pouted her lips, looking unconvinced.
[How dare you say no? Let her explain why she bribed Cailian! And she even taught Cailian to seduce Daddy! ]
Jiang was stunned. It turned out that the person who bribed Cai Lian was Zhu. Her eyes darkened even more.
"Should I ask Cailian to come in and talk to you?"
Zhu was shocked. Jiang knew everything? What did she know?
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Aunt Rong said outside the door.
"Madam, the master asked me to tell you that he is going to take the third son to meet his good friends and they will have dinner outside tonight. You don't have to wait for him."
Jiang rubbed her forehead, "Okay, I got it! You tell the master what I said, and ask him to drink less wine, and be careful not to get an upset stomach at night!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Hua Qingqing stared at the door with her eyes wide open, frowning, and a look of envy on her face.
"Mom, I want to eat delicious food! Go to Dad, eat delicious food!"
Jiang was helpless and shouted to the outside of the door.
"Is Madam Rong still here?"
Caiyu replied, "Madam, Rong Mama has gone to report to the master! Do you have any instructions? Please tell this servant!"
Jiang nodded and said, "Go and ask the master if it is convenient for Fang to take Qingqing with him!"
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
After Jiang finished speaking, she looked at Zhu.
"Ms. Zhu, I know that you have bribed Cailian, my maid! Since you like her so much, I will give her to you!" As he said that, he called Cailian in.
When Cai Lian came in, she didn't know what had happened.
"Ma'am, you called me?"
Jiang sneered.
"Since you and Zhu get along so well, I will help you."
Cai Lian’s eyes widened instantly.
"Madam? I..." She knew that it was Jiang who discovered her and Zhu's secret relationship. She was trembling with fear.
Jiang didn't allow her to speak and continued.
"Although you dared to betray me and betray me, you have followed me for many years after all. Even if you have no merits, you have worked hard."
Zhu and Cai Lian were both a little confused and didn't know what to say.
"Then I will marry you to Master Li Xiu! And you and Zhu will become real sisters!"
