Frightened, Chen was in a bad mood and returned to Jiang's house without stopping.
Jiang Huaiqing shuddered after hearing the steward's report and said, "Uncle Jiang, you haven't told my mother about Daddy's drunkenness yet, have you?"
This matter must be kept secret, otherwise father Jiang Fulu will be in trouble and the whole family will be implicated.
Manager Jiang lowered his head and said respectfully, "It's too late. Second Young Master, it seems that Madam is not in a good mood. If we conceal it..."
"Then we must conceal it even more."
Jiang Huaiqing quickly hid the feather duster, and before he could catch his breath, Chen had already entered the side hall.
There was a bright candlelight in the room.
Chen took a sip of her soothing tea, glanced at Jiang Huaiqing, and asked casually, "Where's your father?"
"Dad is in the study and has gone to bed."
Jiang Huaiqing rolled his eyes and changed the subject, asking, "Didn't you take my younger sister to Huguo Temple to stay for two days? Why did you suddenly rush back home at night?"
There was a curfew in the inner city at night, and my mother suddenly came back, which was quite scary.
Seeing that there are only a few hours left until dawn, we might as well get away with it first.
Jiang Huaiqing was distracted and didn't notice the look the maid gave him.
Chen put down the teacup with a thud and sneered, "I'm a worrier by nature. I worry about the chaos at home every day I'm not at home."
Jiang Huaiqing agreed in his heart and forced a smile, saying, "The whole house depends on mother to run it. You've worked hard, why don't you rest early?"
Chen stood up upon hearing this and said softly, "Alright, mother will go to the study to see your father first."
"Mom, it's not a good idea to disturb Daddy at this time, right?"
Jiang Huaiqing's eyelids jumped in shock and he immediately stood up to stop it.
Realizing that he was being too deliberate, Jiang Huaiqing explained, "Mom, you look tired, don't worry about Dad."
Jiang Fulu was locked in the study and handed over to the servants in the mansion for control.
Although everything is calm at the moment, Jiang Huaiqing is still nervous, fearing that his father will fail him at the critical moment.
Before he could finish his words, voices were heard at the door.
Manager Jiang rubbed his brows and said, "Master, the mistress has returned home. You should stay out of the spotlight for now, otherwise you won't be able to hide the fact that you're drunk."
Jiang Fulu was drunk and said in a high voice, "I am the head of the family, so why should I be afraid of Chen?"
Jiang Fulu is in a high position and has a lot of power under him. If it gets out that he is afraid of his wife, where will his face be?
"Manager Jiang, quickly get me some wine!"
Jiang Fulu felt happy. Seeing the big white goose in the front yard, he went up to it and hugged it, singing: "Wash the goose, cut the meat into pieces, heat the oil in the pan and fry the green onions and ginger, hey yo hey yo..."
Chen didn't rush out immediately, but looked at Jiang Huaiqing and said calmly: "Second brother, do you know your mistake?"
Oops, it’s exposed!
Jiang Huaiqing wanted to help Jiang Fulu cover up, but his father was not up to the task. Now that disaster was imminent, Jiang Huaiqing touched his nose guiltily and begged for mercy: "Mother, I didn't lie intentionally, I was forced by my father."
Chen Shi showed no sign of anger, and said in a pleasant manner, "So, you have violated the Jiang family's new rules."
"Mom, when did the Jiang family add new house rules? How come I don't know?"
Breaking the family rules is no small matter and will result in a beating.
Jiang Huaiqing was terrified and unsure of his mother Chen's attitude.
Chen smiled, especially when she saw the empty vase in the corner. Her expression froze for a moment, and she spoke slowly, "Just added it. Now you know."
Jiang Huaiqing thought that if he hid the feather duster, she would be powerless?
Chen rushed to the utility room, found a large broom, and launched a fierce attack on Jiang Huaiqing.
Chen swung the broom, leaving a shadow as effortlessly as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
"Dad, save your son!"
Jiang Huaiqing had a sudden inspiration and hid behind Jiang Fulu.
Faced with the sudden broom, Jiang Fulu sobered up and broke out in a cold sweat. He grabbed Jiang Huaiqing from behind and brought him to Chen, saying flatteringly, "Madam, your husband has caught your rebellious son!"
Jiang Huaiqing, who was beaten: "..."
According to the Zhao family next door, there was a commotion at the Jiang residence all night.
Jiang Fulu twisted his waist and was carried to the morning court by the servants of the mansion.
Jiang Yuzhu was worried about her father after hearing the news, so she brought the imperial medicinal wine from Xie Mansion to Jiang Mansion.
It was dinner time and there was a large table full of delicious dishes.
Amidst the exquisite cuisine, a plate of scrambled eggs seems remarkably simple.
Jiang Huaiqing brought the scrambled eggs to Jiang Yuzhu and said, "Little sister, try it. I made this myself!"
Jiang Huaiqing went into the kitchen for the first time, drove all the cooks out, and tinkered with the food secretly.
"It tastes good, but second brother, why did you think of cooking?"
Jiang Yuzhu thought carefully and realized that there were no important days recently except the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Little sister, second brother's cooking isn't the point. This is the egg Hong Hong laid!"
Honghong is a kung fu goose, and her eggs are very nutritious!
Jiang Huaiqing showed a rare touch of gentleness. He had already asked the cook and found out that Honghong had laid eggs last night and today, making her a very diligent goose.
There will be no shortage of goose eggs in the mansion from now on, and Jiang Huaiqing will cook them from time to time.
Chen paused holding the chopsticks: "Honghong won't lay eggs for the time being."
When Jiang Huaiqing heard this, he said unhappily, "Mom, how did you know?"
Chen picked up a piece of meat from Jiang Huaiqing's chopsticks and urged him, "Eat quickly! Shut your mouth!"
Of course she knew that Jiang Fulu insisted on eating stewed goose, so the cook slaughtered the goose that Jiang Huaiqing brought back last night.
In order to get the job done, this time I replaced it with a gander of similar size.
Of course, her name is still Honghong, but she is not the same Honghong as before.
After dinner, Jiang Fulu was carried back home by servants. He looked a little solemn.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhu comforted him, "Dad, drinking less is good for your health. Mom is not being unreasonable, she is doing this for your own good."
Jiang Fulu snorted coldly and said, "Dad never thought that he would be betrayed by Yuanhe!"
Last night, Jiang Fulu and Jiang Huaiqing, both father and son, were punished by Chen.
As victims of the same crime, the two found out after inquiring that the culprit was actually Xie Zhao.
Jiang Fulu really wanted to break up with his son-in-law immediately, but the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching and the dragon boat race still depended on the efforts of his son-in-law, so he chose to endure and wait for the next day to settle the score.
This morning, Jiang Fulu was mocked by Wei Shoufu at the court: "Old dog Wei thought his father couldn't get along, so he pretended to twist his waist to avoid the dragon boat race, humph!"
Instigated by Prime Minister Wei, Censor Lu and Yu Jijiu both suspected that Jiang Fulu was faking illness, which he found difficult to accept and felt insulted.
"How can this be absurd? How could Dad be such a shameless person?"
Jiang Fulu explained for a long time, but his subordinates still didn't believe him. After all, on the surface, the dragon boat racing team had not yet been gathered.
Jiang Yuzhu comforted him, "Dad, isn't this perfect? Minister Wei will be convinced you're deserting the battlefield. We'll set a trap, and he'll definitely take it."
Anyway, it's not our family that is embarrassed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Fulu could also take advantage of the situation, alienate Wei Shoufu's team, and recruit some people.
His daughter spoke to his heart, and Jiang Fulu smiled: "Dad has seen the imperial physician, and the imperial physician does not recommend that Dad participate in the dragon boat race. Otherwise, I would personally slap Wei Laogou in the face. Seeing him so angry that he vomited blood and there was nothing he could do would make Dad happier than drinking osmanthus wine!"
