Chapter 179
Have some shame
Old Madam Rong was stunned.
In her impression, Jiang Jianzheng has always been humble and gentle, and has almost never been angry with her. Whenever she opens her mouth, Jiang Jianzheng will obediently deliver the things to her.
Unexpectedly.
They had not been in contact for many years, but just because of a casual remark she made, the son-in-law actually smashed a cup in front of her. He really... really did not take her, the mother-in-law, seriously.
Madam Rong was so embarrassed that she couldn't save face. She glared at Jiang Jianzheng and shouted with trembling lips.
"I married my two daughters to you and gave birth to your children, and all I get is you yelling at me like this?"
"Two daughters?"
I get angry when I mention Jiang Zhaoying.
"When my mother died, no one from the Rong family came to visit."
Where were these people when my brother died and when the accident happened? Have you ever asked a question?
"So we won't come to your house? Don't you see what your mother has done? She has brought shame to the Rong and Jiang families. How can we come to your house?"
Old Madam Rong frowned and scolded Jiang Zhaoying, and Jiang Zhaoying looked at her.
"Then may I ask, old lady, what did my mother do to make you feel ashamed?"
The wrinkles on Mrs. Rong's forehead were squeezed together with anger. When she looked at Jiang Zhaoying, there was no love in her eyes. She slapped the table and said coldly.
"When she was still in the boudoir, I carefully taught her how to manage the relationship with various noble families, but she insisted on doing business. I asked her to keep it secret and not show it to others, but she insisted on doing it in a big way and sent expensive things to various noble families. She got business, but she lost all her face."
"Even though she made a lot of money and became wealthy, she never brought back a penny to support her mother."
"She is obviously the wife of an official, but she chose to do such lowly things, causing the whole capital to talk about her. Even if she gave more gifts to those official wives, they would still look down on her."
"Ever since she did these things, the Rong Mansion has been declining. Look at the capital now, there is no place for our Rong family to stand."
"Mrs. Rong."
When Jiang Jianzheng heard this, the anger in his eyes burned completely.
"The Rong family should be punished for what they did, so don't put the blame on my wife."
The four words "harmful to nature and morality" were like a heavy hammer hitting the Rong family.
Mr. Rong and Mrs. Rong turned pale almost at the same time. They looked at each other quickly, and their arrogance subsided unconsciously.
On the contrary, Madam Rong was so angry that she clenched the cane in her hand and spoke angrily.
"What have we done to harm the world? Show us the evidence. What have we done? If you're talking about what happened back then, it was because they couldn't keep their composure and insisted on squeezing onto the road, which led to their own misfortune. If we hadn't stayed in the temple for other things, we would have died with them."
"But are you dead?"
Jiang Jianzheng's voice suddenly rose, which made Jiang Zhaoying stunned.
Did something happen here?
She had never heard of it.
"Do you think others are fools? You can't find out the truth of the matter, and you don't know who ordered it? Rong Mansion has been stagnant for so many years. Doesn't Rong Mansion know the reason?"
Master Rong became anxious when he heard this, and jumped up and looked at Jiang Jianzhengdao.
"You don't have any evidence to prove that we did it on purpose. You can't wrongly accuse us like this, brother-in-law."
Rong Lingzhu, who was standing by, gently stroked Madam Rong's chest to help her calm down, and then choked up.
"Mother, elder brother, please don't be angry. If you have something to say, talk it out nicely, or our happy family will break up."
Old Madam Rong sighed, held Rong Lingzhu's hand tightly and looked at her with a comforting expression.
"I have raised you for a long time. You know how to be filial to me and remember me. What happened to you that made you move out? Without you, there is no mistress in the house. Who will take care of all the big and small things?"
Rong Lingzhu listened and lowered her eyes, wiped away her tears, then turned to look at Jiang Jianzheng with sad and resentful look.
As soon as Jiang Zhaoying heard it, she knew that this so-called aunt wanted to use Old Madam Rong's hand to return to the Jiang Mansion, but she did not say anything and just sat there quietly.
Jiang Jianzheng took out the divorce papers from his arms and handed them to the Rong family.
"We have been divorced for several years, and when the Jiang family was in trouble, she was afraid that she would be implicated, so she hurried into the mansion and moved all her things away without asking us a single question. Why didn't she tell you?"
Old Madam Rong and Master Rong were shocked when they saw the divorce papers, and their faces turned pale with fright when they saw the time of the divorce.
How come... how come it's been so long since we've been apart?
"Come to think of it, when the Jiang family was in trouble, the Rong family didn't send anyone to ask about it."
Hearing Jiang Jianzheng's cold words, Master Rong's face became as colorful as if he was in a dyeing room, but it couldn't be blamed on them.
Knowing that the Jiang family was in trouble, would they still rush up to help and put themselves in trouble?
Mrs. Rong became extremely anxious when she saw this. She raised her hand and pinched Master Rong. Master Rong frowned and shouted angrily.
"A husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. They fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. We have quarreled, and it has been so long. Let it go. Besides, if she doesn't come back, she has nowhere to go."
"Brother, you still love me."
Rong Lingzhu felt aggrieved after hearing this and sobbed while pulling on Master Rong's sleeve.
"I am just angry, but I don't care about the master and Zhaoying."
"alright."
She wanted to put on a show. The Rong family believed it, but the Jiang family didn't.
"Aren't you tired of acting all day?"
Facing Jiang Jianzheng's cold eyes, Rong Lingzhu had almost nowhere to escape. In panic, she turned around and threw herself into Madam Rong's arms and started crying.
"Mother, mother, I don't want to divorce, but she only has my sister in her heart, which makes me feel embarrassed, so I am angry. Mother, please help your daughter."
Old Madam Rong patted Rong Linghui on the back, with a hint of heartache in her eyes. She looked at Jiang Jianzheng.
"It's just to give her a place to stay. What's so difficult about that? Moreover, Fuqin is Prince Yue's concubine. We should give her some face."
Speaking of Jiang Fuqin.
Why didn't she follow Prince Yueming out of the capital? Prince Yueming left all his concubines in the capital and left alone.
"Don't cry, don't cry. This is your home. If you don't live here, where else can you go? You still have a daughter in this house."
Speaking of.
Old Madam Rong glanced at Jiang Zhaoying coldly.
"Zhaoying, why don't you persuade your mother?"
Jiang Zhaoying looked at Madam Rong's actions and thought of her mother, feeling bitter in her heart.
If the mother's soul really came from another room, it means that the real Rong Linghui had died long ago. Perhaps the person in front of him was the murderer.
These people are really capable.
The mother, with her two souls, were killed by them together.
He shook his head with a cold face.
"Old Madam, if you don't know how to judge people, it may bring disaster to your family."
"What nonsense!"
When Old Madam Rong heard the word "extermination of the family", she shuddered. She also knew that things were not going well for the Rong family recently, with problems of one kind or another always arising.
and.
What puzzled them was that all the younger generations who had accidents died from falling.
Either falling off the horse, falling down the slope, or falling off the cliff, without exception!
If this situation continues to develop, maybe everyone in the Rong family will die, so they were scared. Turning around, they found that the Jiang family was favored by the emperor, so they couldn't wait to come over and ask Jiang Jianzheng for a calculation.
"Can't you just stand by and see us getting better?" The old lady stomped her cane loudly. "After all, I am still your grandmother, and he is still your uncle. Are you going to sit by and watch the Rong family get into trouble?"
"Father just said that the Rong family did something that was against the will of heaven and earth. Now that the truth has been discovered by the other party, it has led to the Rong Mansion being in trouble all the time. Grandmother, who is behind this matter?"
Although she didn't know what happened, she knew that someone must have been killed, otherwise her father wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
She looked at the people of the Rong family quietly. Old Madam Rong and her entourage were obviously panicked for a moment, but soon they became stubborn and refused to say a word or acknowledge it.
Rong Ling's red eyebrows moved slightly and he said anxiously.
"Zhaoying, you must believe your aunt. Rong Mansion has never done anything to harm the world. It must be because Jiang Mansion has offended many powerful people, so Rong Mansion was implicated. They killed people from Rong Mansion to give you a warning. Zhaoying, you died because of Jiang Mansion. You must find a way to compensate Rong Mansion, otherwise how will they live?"
"How to compensate?"
Jiang Zhaoying asked calmly, knowing that they came for a purpose.
"First, give 10 million taels of silver to grandma and uncle. After all, it will cost a lot of money to settle the matter. Then you can help them figure out how to turn danger into safety and make the descendants of the Rong family prosperous."
He stated all the reasons for his visit in one breath, which showed his courage.
"Mother."
In silence.
Jiang Fuxiao walked in quickly, and then greeted Old Madam Rong and the eldest master. Rong Lingzhu frowned and looked at her.
"Why are you dressed like this? Are you short of food and clothes in the Jiang Mansion? What are you doing out here at this time?"
She really couldn't understand what was wrong with her daughter. She wanted her to learn to play the piano, but she dressed up extravagantly and elegantly every day. She didn't want her to play the flute, but dressed plainly and elegantly every day, as if she was about to die.
Although Jiang Fuxiao had given up on his mother, when he heard that she was coming, he couldn't help but want to come over to see her.
Now I see you.
But I only felt that my heart was once again stepped on and trampled on, and died silently once again.
"You are such a fool, kid. The Jiang family has plenty of money. You should dress up nicely so that you can find a good family and help the Rong family."
Old Madam Rong frowned and looked at Jiang Fuxiao, and also scolded him.
Jiang Fuxiao bowed and walked to Jiang Zhaoying with tears in her eyes. Jiang Zhaoying pulled her to sit next to her.
“It looks good this way.”
After hearing what her second sister said, the tears in Jiang Fuxiao's eyes stopped falling. She then held Jiang Zhaoying's hand tightly, and when she looked at Rong Lingzhu, her eyes turned cold.
There will be no more thoughts, never again.
"That's right."
Old Madam Rong seemed to remember something.
"Is it time for Lao Liu's son to get married?"
The sixth brother is from the branch of Rong Mansion and is a cousin. He has a son who is as fat as a ball, uneducated, and likes to fight and make trouble.
"Wouldn't it be a good idea for Fu Xiao to marry there?"
That girl has been talking about marriage for two years, but no one is willing to marry into the family. Isn't there a suitable one right in front of her?
"Whatever Mother thinks is appropriate."
Rong Lingzhu listened and nodded with a frown. She didn't want to worry about Jiang Fuxiao's marriage at all. She wouldn't be able to marry into a good family anyway.
When Jiang Fuxiao heard that she was going to marry that cousin, she was so scared that her face turned pale and tears fell.
That cousin is really not a good guy, but the Rong family treats him like Baozhu. He is a selfish master with a bad heart. When Jiang Fuxiao was a child, he was pushed into the river by him.
When she was so scared that she kept crying for help, her cousin not only didn't help her, he also clapped his hands and laughed loudly beside her.
That's not a thing at all.
Jiang Zhaoying squeezed Jiang Fuxiao's hand and frowned.
"We are currently looking for a marriage partner for Fu Xiao, so you don't need to worry about it. We won't marry someone as stupid as Rong Jinbao."
"you……"
Old Madam Rong was so angry that her eyes went dark. The child was indeed a little defective, but he was still a good child, and the concubine was extremely filial to her, so she insisted on being the master no matter what.
"My daughter is yours, so you should make the decision."
Old Madam Rong looked at Rong Lingzhu, and Rong Lingzhu looked at Jiang Fuxiao. There was a hint of annoyance in her eyes, but her face showed tenderness and she smiled.
"Fuxiao, come here, I have something to tell you."
Jiang Fuxiao snuggled into Jiang Zhaoying's arms and refused to go over no matter what.
Jiang Jianzheng stood up.
"If you come to the Jiang Mansion to give orders, then please leave. The Jiang Mansion and the Rong Mansion have nothing to do with each other."
"At least both of my daughters married you."
Madam Rong gritted her teeth, stood up and pointed at Jiang Jianzheng and cursed him, but Jiang Jianzheng did not give in and went back at her.
"Before Linghui died, she wrote to you and wanted to see you. What did you say?"
then.
Old Madam Rong said that she would just pretend that she didn't have this daughter and that there was no mother-daughter relationship, and she would not come to see her.
"You two have been separated for more than ten years. Is it meaningful to force it now? If you didn't need anything from my Jiang Mansion, would you come here? I still say the same thing. The Rong family has done something wrong and deserves retribution."
"Husband."
As soon as Rong Lingzhu finished speaking, Jiang Jianzheng scolded him angrily.
"Shut up, Rong Lingzhu, have some shame."
Facing Jiang Jianzheng's cold and disgusted eyes, Rong Lingzhu felt extremely embarrassed no matter how shameless she was, but she was unwilling to give up without getting what she wanted.
"How am I shameless? We were husband and wife, weren't we? I gave birth to two daughters for you, didn't I? I just want some money, which is nothing to the Jiang family. Why are you unwilling to give it to me?"
"Someone come."
Jiang Jianzheng didn't indulge them either.
"Go report to the police."
These words shocked the people in Rong Mansion, and there was a hint of disbelief in their eyes.
They dared to come because they were sure of Jiang Jianzheng's gentle character. Over the years, Jiang Jianzheng had never disobeyed them. Even after Rong Linghui died, he would still respond to their requests.
But now.
What has he become?
Madam Rong pointed at Jiang Zhaoying.
"It's all your fault. You're the one who caused the discord."
"Mom, let's go first."
Rong Lingzhu was very afraid of the government. Lord Wang had the final say in the capital, and the princes and nobles were afraid of him. If they really wanted to report to the government, they would have no chance of winning.
not to mention.
If we investigate that matter, it is indeed...
Master Rong and Madam Rong's faces turned livid and they glared at Jiang Jianzheng with hatred. When they stood up, Master Rong frowned and said.
"Brother-in-law, I rarely ask you for anything, and I have never made things difficult for you, right?"
