In the small hall, the delicate and lovely purple-gold beast exhaled the fragrance of water and wood.
It smells especially refreshing in this early autumn day.
He dismissed the maidservant,
Jiang Zhiyan held the Chang'an black tea, smelled the rising steam from the teacup, took a deep breath through her nose, and enjoyed the overflowing fragrance.
After some action,
Seeing the old lady hesitate to speak,
Jiang Zhiyan knew what she wanted to say and took the initiative to speak to break the silence.
"Madam, there is something I don't understand, so I would like to ask you for your advice."
The old lady sitting at the head of the table saw that Jiang Zhiyan didn't even call her mother.
I feel wronged for no reason.
Lu Chuanjin is not a good person, why do you want to implicate her?
This emotion comes and goes quickly, all due to self-regulation.
She thought about how her daughter-in-law's family was wiped out in her previous life because of her beastly son, and she herself was forced to drink poisoned bird's nest by the vicious Su Fuying through her grandson.
Even if she resented everyone in the Duke's Mansion equally, that was as it should be.
After all, it is the fault of the parents if the child is not well educated. It is her fault that she did not teach the child well.
He even killed loyal ministers and spared no effort even for the elderly and the weak.
The old lady felt very sorry for Jiang Zhiyan, and had a long talk with her grandson last night.
She also knew that her daughter-in-law would not let her beastly son go.
She invited people here today not to ask her daughter-in-law to spare the beast's life,
Although she is her own child,
But when I think of what my grandson said about her death, I can't help but feel chilled.
The old Duke died early.
She was the one who supported the Duke's Mansion and raised the child alone.
The hardships involved can be imagined.
I never thought that I would end up like this when I’m old.
She knew that her beastly son was not a good person.
He wasn't very filial to her on weekdays, but she never expected him to be so heartless...
Fortunately, my daughter-in-law wanted to kill me, so she did.
If he was reborn earlier, even as soon as he was born, she would strangle him to death.
But she felt guilty and fond of this daughter-in-law, and the General of the Cavalry was also kind to her.
The result was...
Alas, the old lady could not hold back her tears. She had originally wanted to persuade her daughter-in-law to divorce her husband.
She heard that her daughter-in-law had recognized her grandson and planned to deal with her beastly son.
I was thinking whether I could be shameless enough to accept a relationship with him.
But I was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so I hesitated for a long time.
He looked up at his daughter-in-law and nodded to her to ask,
"Who does Lu Chuanjin look like?"
This question was raised by Jiang Zhiyan when she first read the plot.
People in ancient times attached great importance to filial piety, and Lu Chuanjin was raised by the old lady herself.
Even if he dislikes his mother,
It is impossible to whitewash the situation after knowing that Su Fuying killed her own mother. Lu Chuanjin is not a love-brained person.
So there must be a reason for this abnormality, and the most ridiculous thing is that they are not biological children.
The old lady is not stupid, her daughter-in-law is so openly suspicious.
Naturally, I heard the hidden meaning.
"That beast looks very similar to my deceased husband."
So, it couldn't be her child.
But the old lady couldn't understand how she, who had been kind to others all her life, could have raised such a two-faced beast.
"And you?"
Jiang Zhiyan has a very sharp eye.
That Lu Chuanjin has nothing in common with the old lady.
Even if he looks like the old Duke,
But this is ancient times, which man doesn't have a few concubines?
There are few confidantes.
The classic plot of the cat-for-prince substitution in novels is often seen.
Of course it is not something that is made up out of thin air.
When the old lady heard this, she was panicked for a moment.
"What do you mean?" He shook his head again.
"impossible……
Although my husband says he doesn't love me, he has no concubines in the house, only my child."
Jiang Zhiyan's suspicion that Lu Chuanjin was not the old lady's child was not groundless.
The rumors about the old Duke back then were even worse than those about Lu Chuanjin.
"Could the old lady tell me about the past?"
The old lady took a sip of tea and suppressed the various speculations in her mind.
She knew what Jiang Zhiyan wanted to hear, so she started from the time of childbirth.
"When I was pregnant with that beast and about to give birth, my husband went to Xiangyun Temple to ask for a peace amulet for me.
On the way back, I encountered bandits. As I had few guards with me,
Assassinated to death......"
At this point, Lu Zhouli took a handkerchief and stood on tiptoe to wipe the old lady's tears.
Ji Zhaobai nestled comfortably on Jiang Zhiyan's legs.
I couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.
This death is too absurd. A dignified Duke actually died at the hands of horse bandits. It's ridiculous.
The old lady saw her daughter-in-law frowning,
"Not to mention others, even I find it absurd.
How dare the bandits assassinate the ministers of the imperial court outside the capital?
But I didn't have time to think about it at that time. The man was already dead, with several wounds on his body. The day of burial was also the day when the beast was born.
At that time, my mother-in-law was so traumatized by her husband's death that she was bedridden.
All depends on the medicine to regulate the breath,
My father-in-law passed away a few years ago, and the house was in chaos.
It was Nanny Song who took care of the funeral and saw to it that I gave birth to the child."
Jiang Zhiyan asked, "Who does Nanny Song belong to?"
"It's from my mother-in-law's side.
My mother-in-law was already in poor health, and she would have died soon even without the shock of her husband's death.
So she taught Song Mama how to be a housekeeper early on.
In case she dies, my husband will be busy with court affairs and I will be left alone to raise the child without help."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyan smiled.
This may sound fine on the surface, but there is actually a lot of trickery going on.
The old lady didn't understand why her daughter-in-law was laughing.
