Chapter 140 The Lu Family Cancels the Engagement
Jiang Shouye turned his face away, and Mrs. Jiang burst into tears.
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing Jiang Guiyu can't understand.
She knelt on the ground, looking so fragile that she seemed to be dying.
"Mom and Dad, I, your daughter, cough cough... cough cough, I know I was wrong."
Mrs. Jiang finally spoke, her voice choked with sobs but stern.
"If you had known this would happen, why would you have done it in the first place?"
Jiang Shouye was not so merciful. He pointed at her and cursed at her.
"If I had known earlier, I should have brought Qingyue back three years ago, instead of letting her take the blame for you for another three years. Three years ago, it was you who pushed the princess into trouble, yet you cried and complained in front of us like you did today, causing my biological daughter Qingyue to suffer for another three years in the Northern Frontier."
Jiang Shouye was filled with regret.
"He's definitely not from our Jiang family. His heart is so vicious."
No one expected that Jiang Shouye would actually talk about what happened three years ago, and everyone was stunned.
Yes, three years ago, it was Jiang Guiyu who accidentally pushed the princess of Prince Rui's family into the water.
At that time I said it was a mistake, but now I think that may not be the case.
If the princess didn't have some personal relationship with Jiang Wanyin, how could she let the Jiang family go so easily and allow them to find someone to take the blame for the three-year exile.
The Jiang family still benefited from the eldest daughter Jiang Wanyin, and secondly, Jiang Qingyue was also wronged.
Thinking about it this way, the Jiang family felt even more guilty towards Jiang Qingyue.
Seeing that they all had the same expression, Jiang Guiyu knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless.
She gritted her teeth and chuckled.
"You're all making it sound so easy now, putting all the blame on me. But if you hadn't acquiesced back then, Jiang Qingyue wouldn't have been exiled to the Northern Frontier for another three years."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Shouye shouted angrily.
Jiang Guiyu laughed out loud.
"My father is the Minister of Revenue and he has to save face, so this crime must be borne by his daughter."
"you!"
Jiang Shouye was so angry that he slapped him.
"You still don't repent?"
The slap hit Jiang Guiyu's face hard, causing her ears to ring and she fell to the ground coughing and almost dying.
But no matter what she looks like, no one in the Jiang family cares about her anymore.
Mother Xu looked at her coldly, "Second Miss, when Mother Wang changed the eldest Miss's medicine, it was actually your instruction, wasn't it?"
Suddenly, everyone was shocked and looked at Jiang Guiyu in unison.
After Jiang Guiyu finished coughing for a while, he propped himself up and sat up.
"Whatever I say now, ahem, you won't believe me."
He looked so weak again, as if he was bullied by everyone in the world.
Jiang Mingyang, who had endured for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Mother Wang is dead and there is no evidence to prove anything, but Jinxiu is still in the manor. As long as we torture her and her family, I don't believe they won't tell the truth."
Jiang Guiyu's face looked ashen.
She asked, "You think that if you deny it, they will never be able to get anything out of you."
But she forgot about Jinxiu who was sent away.
Jinxiu is a good maid, but she cares about her family even more. Jinxiu knows so much about herself, so everything she has done over the years has been revealed.
At this time, Mrs. Jiang suddenly remembered something.
"Those rumors about Qingyue, were they also from you?"
Jiang Guiyu smiled bitterly.
"Yes, it's all my fault. I'm jealous of Jiang Qingyue. Isn't it good for her to stay in Northern Xinjiang? Why did she come back? I've been the daughter of the Jiang family for so many years. What does it have to do with me, Jiang Guiyu, that her biological daughter has come back?"
"I just want to bring her disgrace and make you despise her. This way I can stay in the Jiang family and continue to be my daughter, the most beloved lady in Yanjing City."
"Why should she, a vulgar person raised by criminal slaves, fight with me?"
Jiang Guiyu's eyes were filled with tears.
"If I don't do this, you will definitely feel guilty towards her and will definitely want to make amends to her. If that happens, where will my place in the Jiang family be?"
Mrs. Jiang didn't expect that she was the one who did all these things, and she was immediately disheartened.
"But she didn't argue with you about anything!"
"That's why they are so scheming and so hateful!"
Jiang Guiyu gritted her teeth, "I deliberately sent her outside the city to treat the epidemic. I wanted her to die outside the city. The credit for the Jiang family can only be mine, and I can only be the Jiang family's favored daughter!"
After saying this, she actually burst out laughing.
But before he could laugh twice, he started coughing violently again.
Suddenly, Jiang Mingyang looked behind her and exclaimed, "Master Lu!"
Jiang Guiyu turned around stiffly and saw that the person behind him was indeed Lu Tingzhi!
Didn't he leave? Why did he come back?
"Brother Ting..."
Jiang Guiyu was terrified. She didn't even know how long Lu Tingzhi had been standing there or listening.
"Things are not what you think. I, I just cough..."
Before she could finish her words, she started coughing again.
At this moment, Jiang Guiyu hated his broken body.
She didn't cough at all when she was saying all that just now, but now she was in a hurry to explain and she couldn't help coughing again.
It seemed like she did it on purpose.
Lu Tingzhi walked slowly towards him, and Jiang Guiyu's heart trembled with every step he took.
"Really? You did all this?"
Jiang Guiyu opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
She thought that even if she lost the Jiang family, she would still be loved by Lu Tingzhi, so she dared to throw in the towel.
But unexpectedly, Lu Tingzhi came back again!
"Brother Tingzhi, please listen to my explanation..."
As soon as she reached out her hand, Lu Tingzhi dodged it.
Her heart tightened and she looked up, just in time to see the disgust in Lu Tingzhi's eyes.
She was rejected.
Jiang Guiyu fell to the ground and looked at Lu Tingzhi with the last glimmer of hope.
"Brother Tingzhi, even you don't want me anymore?"
There were too many emotions surging in Lu Tingzhi's black eyes.
Jiang Qingyue, who had accompanied him in Beijiang, flashed before his eyes, and in his ears was his mother's voice advising him to marry Li Yuting instead.
"Brother Ting!"
Jiang Guiyu seemed to realize something, and tried to crawl to his feet with all his strength, begging him not to abandon her.
But Lu Tingzhi had a cold face and saluted Jiang Shouye.
"Jiang Guiyu is of such a character that she is unworthy of being the new bride of our Lu family. Lord Jiang, let's forget about the marriage between our Lu family and her. I will have someone exchange the engagement letter for her tomorrow."
Jiang Guiyu married into the ice cave.
At this point, Jiang Shouye no longer had the face to let Lu Tingzhi marry Jiang Guiyu. His face turned ashen and he angrily swung his sleeves.
Lu Tingzhi said this, turned around and left without even looking at Jiang Guiyu again.
"Brother Ting!"
Jiang Guiyu chased after him, but his body was too heavy and he fell down after just two steps.
She fell so hard and cried so loudly, but the Jiang family ignored her.
"Come here, lock her up in Haitang Garden for now. Once the city gates open, send her to the manor immediately. Don't let her come back in this lifetime."
Jiang Guiyu knew that there was no way out with Jiang Shouye and Jiang Mingyang, so he could only cry and plead with Mrs. Jiang.
Madam Jiang turned her face away and said, "From now on, I will pretend that you are not my daughter."
