Jiang Ling suddenly remembered it when she heard the name.
In the original book, Jiang Fei married Yue Weiqing, the second son of Anyuan Earl Yue Yi!
The Yue family had been enjoying royal protection since their ancestors, and they had made considerable efforts when the Dagan Dynasty was facing internal and external troubles. Therefore, Yue Yi also became the Earl of Anyuan in a stable manner, and his official title was Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple, in charge of royal affairs. It was a respectable and leisurely official position.
Yue Yi is good in every way. He is gentle and polite, and he is not corrupt or breaking the law. He also does not form cliques. He has always followed the family motto of the Yue family and has been loyal to the emperor for generations.
When Feng Gan proclaimed himself emperor, if Yue Yi's father had not stood up and strongly supported him, claiming that Feng Gan was the savior of the court and the people, and the only wise monarch who could save the country, there would not have been so many wavering court officials supporting Feng Gan, and he would have been regarded as one of the heroes of the Da Gan Dynasty.
All I can say is that words like loyalty to the emperor for generations are not worth mentioning at all when one's life and wealth are threatened.
The previous emperor was no good. He was tyrannical and refused to listen to advice. The country was about to be destroyed and the Yue family was about to be wiped out. Since this is the case, let's change the emperor.
Because of this merit of following the emperor, and because the Yue family has been loyal for generations, although they have not produced any capable ministers who can govern the country and their qualifications are average, they have not produced any treacherous ministers who are evil, so Feng Yu is willing to continue to give this grace to the Yue family.
So Yue Yi continued to enjoy wealth and prosperity following his father, living a leisurely life every day, being respected, and leading a very comfortable life.
He was indeed good in every way. He was not corrupt, did not like to gamble, and did not bully the weak. However, he fell into the trap of lust.
To put it bluntly, it's just a sex embryo.
He only loves young, beautiful and lovely women, but he doesn't resort to prostitution. If he sees a girl he likes, he will marry her home as a concubine, give her a formal status and keep her in the house. No one can say a word against him. After all, it's none of your business if he's marrying a concubine properly.
He has many wives and naturally many children.
Not to mention those illegitimate sons and daughters, his wife gave birth to three sons and two daughters, but because childbirth damaged her foundation, she had to recuperate in the mansion and mostly did not go out.
The eldest son was of mediocre talent and held an idle position in the court. He married and had children in an orderly manner. There was nothing much to say about it.
The second legitimate son was Yue Weiqing, who was a good student. He also took part in the imperial examination this time and ranked in the middle in the joint examination. He only needed to pass the palace examination and become a Jinshi. It was expected that he would be able to enter the court as an official, which was better than his brother's idle position.
So Yue Yi really cares about this son and spends a lot of time to cultivate him.
He valued Yue Weiqing and gave him the best food, clothing and other necessities. He often visited court officials for him, and his marriage was carefully selected and considered.
But if you say he cares about it, then why would he do such a thing later?
Jiang Ling gritted his teeth in hatred.
She remembered that the book said that Jiang Fei committed suicide by jumping into the lake in the second month after she married into Yue's family.
It was because Yue Yi fell in love with Jiang Fei when they were serving tea on the second day of their wedding, which was the first time they met.
So he started to have evil thoughts and thought of many ways to get her to be his concubine.
What? You're asking about Yue Weiqing?
Him.
Jiang Ling gritted his teeth. Although this kid had some talent, he inherited his father's lust.
To put it bluntly, he is also a pervert.
Long before he got married, he had a lot of maids and concubines.
As for his wife Jiang Fei, he didn't like her at all, he used her to some extent, respected her to some extent, and the only thing left was novelty. However, that novelty gradually disappeared after he married her.
Not only did he not stop his father's bad behavior, he even turned a blind eye to it.
Jiang Fei was frightened and panicked. She had nowhere else to turn and was afraid that this matter would get out and damage the Jiang family's reputation. She was forced into no choice but to jump into the lake and died.
At first, the Yue family wanted to conceal the incident and announced that it was a mistake, but they didn't know what went wrong. The incident was spread out without any change, causing the Yue family's reputation to plummet. After verification, Feng Yu directly revoked Yue Weiqing's title of Jinshi and dismissed him from his post. Yue Yi also lost his position as Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple and was sent to a state around the capital to serve as a senior assistant.
In addition, the Jiang family was also affected.
In this era, a woman's chastity is the most important thing. Even if she sacrifices her precious life to prove her innocence and protect her chastity, people will still inevitably talk about it and make the most vicious speculations about her. However, her life and her experience are only regarded as topics of conversation and entertainment after dinner.
This incident had a huge impact. Whenever the daughter of the Jiang family was looking for a husband, people would talk about it, no matter how far away the relative was.
In addition, Jiang Lianhai and Liang Wan were heartbroken because of their daughter's death. Jiang Lianhai was furious and wrote to the emperor many times, asking him to take charge of his daughter and severely punish Yue Yi and his son instead of simply demoting them.
Liang Wan was so angry that she vomited blood and has been bedridden ever since.
Because of Jiang Fei's matter, Jiang Lianhai has been against Yue Yi and his son since then. He even hates the emperor to the extreme, blaming him for not being able to abandon those who support him and not letting them pay the price even if they killed his innocent daughter.
But he also knew the emperor's difficulties and knew that he could not issue every decree easily. He had to weigh the pros and cons and think over and over again before doing anything.
It is because he knows this that he feels unwilling and sad.
In addition, Liang Wan was ill, so he devoted all his energy to taking care of her and had no time to train soldiers or lead troops in battle. His spirit was not as good as before, so he took the initiative to ask the emperor for permission to resign. However, Feng Yu did not want to bury his talents, so he insisted on keeping him in the court and assigned him a less busy official position, allowing him to adjust for some time and take good care of his family.
Jiang Lianshan lost a right-hand man, and he was upright and incorruptible, and was unwilling to obey in public but secretly. At that time, the court was unstable and many dirty things happened. He could not stand these things, so he went to the emperor to report some corrupt villains, offended those people, and had a hard time in the court. Later, he was always targeted by villains.
Jiang Ling felt cold all over. It seemed that ever since the incident with Jiang Fei, the Jiang family had been on a downward spiral.
wrong.
She frowned.
It didn’t start with Jiang Fei.
Jiang Ling shuddered suddenly, and a chill gradually crept up her back and neck, even her scalp felt numb.
Her palms were already covered in cold sweat, and she clenched her hands tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force.
Her face had turned pale with fear and nervousness.
Jiang Ling bit her lips and breathed slowly.
It didn’t start with Jiang Fei.
It's her!
It started with her!
