Chapter 167: Breaking off Relationship
Passing by Xie's house, there was a servant of the Jiang family waiting in the gatehouse, who reported back: "Miss, Madam Shen has been taken to Jiang's house to wait for news. I came here specially to deliver the news to prevent you from going to the empty house."
Jiang Yuzhu nodded and went straight to the Jiang Mansion.
In the living room, Chen sat in the main seat, with a sullen face and silent, and the atmosphere was very stagnant.
The lady who looked wealthy stood up when she heard the noise, and said in a sarcastic tone with a fake smile, "This must be Yuzhu, she's married and had a child... Oh, she's been married for more than three years and still hasn't had a child."
The words imply that Jiang Yuzhu is unable to have children.
No one responded, but Madam Fugui still picked up the words that had fallen on the ground: "Look at my mouth. I'm used to being the boss in Jiangnan. I always say whatever I want. Don't be offended, Yuzhu."
A fool like Jiang Yuzhu relies on the Jiang family for support. If anything goes wrong when she enters their home, all the best people in the Jiang family will come to make trouble.
Chen endured for a long time, and said impatiently: "Sister, Yuzhu has been married for three years, and Yunxi has not yet found a husband. You might as well worry more about your son's marriage."
With her mother Chen's reminder, Jiang Yuzhu finally understood who the annoying person in front of her was.
Mrs. Chen is worthy of being Lu Yunxi's mother. Both mother and son are equally annoying.
In Jiang Yuzhu's impression, the original owner threw her heart into Lu Yunxi. Even though she was granted marriage, she foolishly insisted on not consummating the marriage, just to wait for her cousin to elope.
However, it has been more than three years and there has been no news from Lu Yunxi in the outer sea. The original owner missed him madly, so she found Feng Qing as a replacement.
In the book, the original owner's tragedy was all caused by Lu Yunxi, and Da Chen's contribution was indispensable.
The elder Chen was arrogant and proud. She had been fighting with the two Chen sisters since they were young, and she always took the opportunity to make things difficult for them.
Facing the culprit, Jiang Yuzhu crossed her arms and said unceremoniously: "Yes, aunt is really kind-hearted. The Lu family has not yet had any incense, but you are meddling in other people's family affairs."
Mrs. Chen was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she showed a heartfelt expression and held her chest and said, "Yuzhu, auntie is doing this for your own good. Can you see any family whose daughter has not shown any signs of pregnancy after more than three years of marriage?"
The Xie family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River with strict rules. Just because Jiang Yuzhu has no children, she has already violated the seven reasons for divorce.
If it weren't for the Jiang family's face, Jiang Yuzhu would not have been as successful as she is today and would have been divorced long ago.
Shen was sitting in the side hall waiting for news. She was delighted to see her daughter-in-law coming back, but then she was so irritated by what Da Chen said that she drooped her eyes and said nervously, "The Xie family is not in a hurry about the issue of offspring."
The Lu family and the Xie family are both prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River, but the two families are hundreds of miles apart and have no contact with each other.
Da Chen did not recognize Shen and thought she was the wife of an official from the capital, so she did not take her seriously.
Hearing Shen's words, she immediately understood the other party's identity. Da Chen smiled and said, "It is true that Yuzhu is in poor health. Madam Xie is so tolerant and kind. Yuzhu, why don't you kowtow to your mother-in-law to express your gratitude?"
In her words, Mrs. Chen had already pushed the problem onto Jiang Yuzhu, and Mrs. Chen narrowed her eyes.
Whenever the eldest Chen came to visit the mansion, Chen felt that quarrels were inevitable. As the eldest sister, she was arrogant and intolerant, and she dared to act so presumptuous in the capital.
Chen couldn't stand her daughter suffering any injustice, and was about to scold her, but Shen patted her on the back of her hand.
Shen suppressed her anger and spoke in a very easy-going manner: "Madam Lu, you are wrong. Yuzhu married into the Xie Mansion because the Xie family had done many good deeds for many years. God has opened his eyes. Ordinary families are not blessed, and they don't have such a blessing."
First use courtesy, then force. Shen decided to annoy Chen with words first. She became more direct after arriving in the capital, but she still had the ability to fight at home, implying that the Lu family was unlucky.
"As for the issue of offspring, it is my request as a mother-in-law to do it later."
Shen said openly and honestly, "I am not blessed with a daughter, so I have always treated Yuzhu as my own daughter. Yuzhu has just come of age and married into the Xie family. How can she enjoy the love of her young age?"
A girl is only fifteen years old when she reaches the age of 15 and her body is still not fully grown. It would be very risky to have children.
Shen was speaking from the heart. Childbirth is the gate of hell. She herself is also a woman and has been through this process. She can empathize with Jiang Yuzhu and naturally does not want her to suffer.
"If people in the capital city are so concerned about other people's family affairs, and gossip about them behind their backs like gossipers sitting under a tree at the entrance of the village, then it is me, as a mother-in-law, who is sorry for Yuzhu."
Shen cursed Da Chen in a few words without leaving any trace, and stood up to support her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Chen's face turned pale and blue. She was about to speak, but was stopped by Mrs. Shen: "Who said that a woman's infertility is the woman's problem? It could also be the man's. Madam Lu should be more open-minded."
Even if there are no children in the future, it must be Xie Zhao's fault and has nothing to do with Jiang Yuzhu.
Shen kept whitewashing her daughter-in-law, and even Chen was moved.
Mrs. Chen stared, and after a long while she stammered, "Madam Xie, is this your idea or the Xie family's?"
Even though Shen was the clan leader's wife, she couldn't influence the Xie family.
"Of course it's the clan's idea. The Xie family is very satisfied with Yuzhu. Besides, our Xie family is prosperous. Even if Yuzhu doesn't give birth, it won't be a case of extinction. She can just adopt someone from the clan. On the contrary, the Lu family has few descendants. I heard that Madam Lu is very worried about Mr. Lu's marriage?"
Shen predicted what Da Chen wanted to say, looked at Da Chen with sympathy, and said, "Madam Lu, Mr. Lu has feelings for our Yuzhu, no wonder he couldn't forget her for so many years and insisted on not getting married. It's a pity that the Lu family has done few good deeds. Without the phoenix tree, there is no golden phoenix. You should donate more silver to the flood in Jiangnan."
Shen said bluntly that the Lu family had done nothing good and therefore had no blessings. If this continued, they would most likely be extinct.
Mrs. Chen was squeezed by Mrs. Shen and opened her mouth angrily, "Jiang Yuzhu and my son have an affair, and she rushed to marry into the Lu family. Your Xie family picked up a second-hand commodity, why are you so arrogant?"
If she couldn't win the argument, then they would just break off relations completely. Mrs. Chen didn't believe that Mrs. Shen, as a mother-in-law, had no grudges in her heart.
Jiang Yuzhu sneered and said, "Big Chen, you are desperate and are starting to act recklessly?"
No matter how much the original owner liked Lu Yunxi, it had nothing to do with her.
"You think that just by slandering my reputation, you can destroy the relationship between me and my husband? You are making a wrong calculation!"
When having a secret meeting with Lu Yunxi, Jiang Yuzhu not only brought her mother but also her mother-in-law, and the main focus was on honesty.
The secret meeting with Feng Qingcai was really a secret meeting with Feng Qingcai, and she was caught by Xie Zhao in a brothel. Did it affect her status?
As long as the Jiang family does not fall, Jiang Yuzhu has the capital to be arrogant.
"Mom, go on."
Jiang Yuzhu blocked the door and pulled out a feather duster from the corner and threw it over.
Chen took it and swung it, first hitting the eldest Chen on the head, slapping her face and cursing, "You and I are sisters and don't get along. I have endured it for the sake of my parents. Today, you dare to bully Yuzhu, so there is no need for me to be polite to you. I will completely break off the relationship!"
The doors and windows were closed, and the maid of the Lu family was held down by Hongxiu and Hongjin. Only the screams of Mrs. Chen could be heard from the room from time to time.
