Luo ordered the two of them not to meet again and prepared to suppress the matter. After all, what would happen if it was exposed in an occasion like today?
But who would have thought that when Luo returned, all the guests looked at Luo and Jiang Xueshu with strange eyes.
It turned out that Jiang Xueying had anticipated all this and had instructed a maid to tell Ma everything. Ma was a well-known big mouth and hated the Jiang family to the core. How could she possibly keep such explosive news hidden?
Through Ma's mouth, the matter soon spread to all the guests.
On Luo's birthday, Jiang Xueshu suddenly became the laughing stock of the entire town. Even if Luo wanted to deny it, she couldn't, after all, it was her daughter-in-law Ma who spread the news herself.
After the incident, Mrs. Luo looked at Jiang Xueshu and Hu Tianyu kneeling on the ground in exasperation. A good birthday party had turned into a joke because of their affairs. She was afraid that Mrs. Luo would be traumatized by birthday celebrations in the future.
"Tell me, you two, why did you meet at that time in the mansion when you couldn't meet at any other time, and... Shu'er, have all the etiquette and morality you learned been lost to dogs? Do you still remember that you are an unmarried lady from a wealthy family? Now everyone in the town knows about it. Just imagine how you are going to live in the future!"
Jiang Xueshu knelt on the ground crying. She knew that she was wrong in doing this, but she hadn't seen her cousin for so long that she couldn't help thinking about him. Nothing had ever happened to her before, but today...
Hu Tianyu on the side lowered his head deeply, and his expression could not be seen, but from another perspective, he looked like an outsider.
Tong had no choice but to persuade Luo: "Sister, calm down. Shu'er must have realized her mistake. She was just confused for a moment. She has been kneeling for an hour. If she kneels any longer, her legs will be crippled. It will be even more difficult for her to find a husband in the future. Why don't you let her get up first?"
Luo was already burning with rage, and Tong's words only added fuel to the anger. Thinking about the birthday party she had spent so much effort to prepare being ruined because of the two of them, she felt like killing someone.
She picked up a bench beside her and raised it to hit Jiang Xueshu.
"You shameless girl, I'm going to beat you to death today!"
Tong was frightened by Luo's actions and hurriedly hugged Luo's arm to stop her. If the stool fell, Jiang Xueshu would be crippled if not dead.
Hu Tianyu was also frightened by Luo and subconsciously crawled to the side, fearing that the bench would fall on him. He did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy or responsibility towards Jiang Xueshu.
"Everyone, please think twice. No matter how big a mistake she made, she is still your daughter!"
Tong finally managed to persuade Luo and quickly signaled with her eyes that Jiang Xueshu should say a few good words to her mother. However, Jiang Xueshu was really unreasonable and started crying and begging Luo to help her and Hu Tianyu get together.
"Mom, my cousin and I are truly in love. Please feel sorry for your daughter and help us get together!"
When Mrs. Luo heard this, she was so angry that her head swelled. Before she could say no, Hu Tianyu at the side took the initiative to shake his head frantically.
"Jiang Xueshu, there is no way my family will agree to our marriage."
After these words were spoken, both Luo and Jiang Xueshu turned around in disbelief and looked at Hu Tianyu, who had a look of disgust on his face.
Jiang Xueshu was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to react. She looked at her in disbelief that her cousin, who had been so affectionate to her, was looking at her with such disgust. She murmured and sobbed, questioning Hu Tianyu over and over again.
"You...you won't marry me? Didn't we agree at the beginning that as long as I followed you, you would take care of me for the rest of my life? Were those words all lies?"
Now that all the fig leaves had been torn off, Hu Tianyu had no scruples any more and said sarcastically, "Oh, don't you see who you are? I want to marry a prince or a noblewoman in the future. It's impossible for me to marry you!"
Jiang Xueshu looked at the man whose expression changed so quickly in disbelief. It was obvious that he was so angry at Hu Tianyu's words that his chest hurt. His body was trembling and he felt dizzy. The next second, he fainted on the ground. No matter how others shouted at him, he didn't move.
How could it turn out like this?
Luo was also furious. She had never expected that her nephew, whom she had always loved, would say such heartless and ungrateful words. She covered her chest in anger and squeezed out a sentence uncomfortably: "Someone, lock him up first!"
Immediately afterwards, he fainted just like Jiang Xueshu.
The Hu family soon found out that Hu Tianyu was imprisoned by the Jiang family. After all, the Hu family's eldest son was the only one in the family, so he had to be protected at all costs!
The Hu family was very dissatisfied and immediately brought people to the house to ask for the person back.
Naturally, the Jiang family would not let Hu Tianyu go back so easily, but chose to negotiate terms with the Hu family. After all, things had come to this point. If Hu Tianyu was willing to marry Jiang Xueshu, the Jiang family would let Hu Tianyu go back, otherwise there would be no room for negotiation.
Now the story of Jiang Xueshu and Hu Tianyu has spread everywhere. If the Hu family does not recognize this marriage, how will Jiang Xueshu gain a foothold here in the future?
The Hu family was also completely infuriated by the attitude of the Jiang family. Although the two families were cousins, they believed that the Jiang family was not worthy of the Hu family. So they said harshly, saying that Jiang Xueshu was not worthy of Hu Tianyu, and asked them to stop dreaming like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. They, the Hu family, rejected this marriage. If she went to the Hu family to be a concubine, it would be fine, but she would never be the main wife.
After this incident, the Jiang family and the Hu family broke up completely, and the Jiang family’s scandal became known to everyone.
Jiang Xueshu's affair is now known to everyone.
Both families felt ashamed, and because they could not reach an agreement on the marriage, their relationship had become extremely strained, and the once close relatives were now like enemies.
However, these have nothing to do with Jiang Xueying. Her goal has been achieved. As for how the two families will get along in the future, or whether the two families will marry, she has no right to care.
Now she lives a happy life with her two children in her own little world. She is so comfortable. If Jiang Xueshu had not gone too far at the beginning, she would not have come up with such a sinister trick.
Ye Xiaoyu was about to take Ye Xiaojin out to play with friends in the village. As soon as they reached the door, Jiang Xueying stopped them and said, "I'll make meatballs for you later. Don't play outside for too long. Come back early and don't argue with others."
The two children nodded repeatedly. When they heard that there were meatballs to eat, their eyes lit up. They happily agreed and went out.
The meatballs that Jiang Xueying makes are different from those made by other restaurants. The meatballs she makes are full of flavor and have a light fragrance. Not only do they melt in your mouth, but they also have a very tender texture. After eating them once, you will definitely want to eat them a second time.
