It is said that even a fair judge cannot judge family disputes.
No matter how powerful the emperor was, he could not do anything to Mr. Jiang Sanye's family. He could only let Mr. Jiang Sanye go back to handle the family affairs on his own, saying that he could retire and return home if he failed.
Mr. Jiang San returned home trembling. When he saw Wang, he became furious and slapped her twice in a row, leaving her stunned.
"You shrew, you are going to harm our whole family." Mr. Jiang San roared to the sky, hating Wang to the core of his heart.
"Before, you were trying to get my eldest sister to marry your nephew from your mother's family. Since he treated my eldest sister well, I didn't bother with you.
Then you went even further, causing my youngest son to lose his reputation and leave the imperial capital in disgrace to become a minor county magistrate in Muhe County. I can also say that you love your son deeply and have a good way of educating him.
Then, you watched him turn over a new leaf and soar over the dragon gate. Feeling indignant, you repeatedly harmed him. I remained blind, watching you toil away, and didn't complain.
But what is the result? "
The good son was beaten to a pulp and was covered in bruises. He passed by his home three times without entering and went to Suzhou alone to be a local official.
She transferred her immense wealth to her good-for-nothing second son.
Qing'er still has no wife in the mansion. A fourth-rank official doesn't even have a wife and can only live with a concubine. What kind of thing is this!
Mr. Jiang San was so disappointed with his friend that he fell into deep self-blame.
It is said that a good wife brings less trouble to her husband, and now it seems to be true.
He was blind at first, choosing a fierce and fierce woman for marriage based solely on her looks. As a result, not only were his sons all unsuccessful, but his daughters also didn't marry well. Finally, he finally had a son, but she forced him to stay away from home until now. He was truly a disaster for the Jiang family.
"Come here, prepare some writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for me. I want to put this trouble to rest!"
"How dare you," Wang said with a mournful face, "that bastard deserves what he has today. He has no one else to blame. You dared to divorce your first wife for a bastard? Jiang Shuang, are you still human?"
"Why am I not a human?"
Mr. Jiang San was so angry that he vomited blood.
"Old Master, please slow down."
Old Master Jiang was supported by someone and walked in tremblingly on crutches. He just happened to see his third son vomiting blood because of the stupid woman. He was extremely excited.
He couldn't catch his breath, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
"Someone come quickly, the old man is in trouble."
"What's wrong?"
"The Third Madam has made the Third Master so angry that he vomited blood, and the old Master has fainted from rage. Go get a doctor!"
"Go, go, go quickly."
The Jiang family was busy that day, having invited the doctor and the eldest and second uncles to come back to visit the family. The family was busy all day long, with people coming in and out, making it a very lively scene.
After the excitement comes endless desolation.
Only ten days after the Jiang family's wedding, Old Master Jiang died of anger.
Well, the red event has turned into a sad event. The red lanterns haven’t been taken down yet and it’s time to tidy up the white lanterns and hang them up again.
At the funeral, Uncle Jiang, who had arrived late, grabbed Uncle Jiang San by the collar and started beating him up. He cursed as he beat him. "Jiang Shuang, you worthless son of a bitch, what have you done? You're disloyal and unfilial, heartless and ungrateful. You've been a misbehaving official, and your family is a mess. Why should someone like you still be alive? Why don't you just die?"
Master Jiang was busy trying to break up the fight. "Brother, stop talking. Third brother also blames himself."
"Don't blame yourself," Uncle Jiang said tearfully, "I worked so hard to raise this family, and now you've pissed me off to death without even enjoying any happiness. I'm going to beat you to death, you bastard, to pay for my father's life! Don't let anyone stop me!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang found an excuse to slip away.
Jiang Wenyan, who had returned to attend the funeral, saw her and asked, "Mother, where are you going?"
Uncle Jiang happened to hear this. He looked at the troublemaker with red eyes and murderous intent, and said angrily: "It's you, this shrew. Third brother, if you don't divorce this shrew today, I will fight you to the death!"
"Enough, enough." Mr. Jiang was also helpless. "Let the old man go peacefully first, okay?"
This one sentence made Mr. Jiang Sanye, who was always domineering, cry.
He knelt before Mr. Jiang's spirit and cried loudly. "Dad, I'm so sorry!"
Mr. Jiang San was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place!
When Xu Jing learned that Old Master Jiang had passed away, he asked for leave from his boss and rushed from Jiangnan to the imperial capital without stopping.
Finally, I arrived at the Jiang Mansion at the last moment before the old man's funeral.
Seeing the newcomer dressed in white and with such a powerful aura, the butler didn't dare to stop him. He followed him and asked, "Who are you?"
"Jiang Xuqing, the third branch of the Jiang family."
Huh. The housekeeper took a deep breath. Could this person be Jiang Xuqing, the famous and renowned prefect of Suzhou, who was famous in the capital?
He is so young and handsome, and his stunning charm cannot be concealed even in a white robe. It is shocking enough that he holds a high position at such a young age.
Xu Jing didn't care what others thought. He walked quickly through the hall and the corridor and headed straight for the main hall.
Seeing the white color getting thicker and thicker and the dense crowd of people kneeling outside, Xu Jing knew that he had come to the right place.
He opened the curtain, knelt in the center of the door, and cried loudly: "I have worked hard all my life to raise my descendants and to live in harmony with my friends and neighbors. I can't sleep at night thinking about my parents. When will I be able to repay their kindness in raising me?
Grandpa, your unworthy descendant Jiang Xuqing is here to see you off!"
The sound was loud enough that not only those inside but also those outside could hear it clearly.
Wang was so angry that she lost her mind and spoke without thinking. "How did that little bastard come back? Who told you to notify him that he was back?"
"Bitch." Mr. Jiang's eyes were red as he slapped Wang's face, raging. "You didn't even inform Qing'er. Do you want to ruin our most promising son?"
In ancient times, filial piety was regarded as the most important thing and death was the greatest honor.
Unless there are special reasons, officials must return home to handle the funeral when a family member dies.
If you know that someone in your family has died but do not return to mourn, you will be disqualified from holding an official position if someone reports you.
Wang's heart is as clear as Sima Zhao's. Everyone can see that he is evil.
With just one sentence, everyone glared at her, wishing she would die immediately.
Wang wanted to argue, but the servants covered her mouth and dragged her to the corner of the mourning hall to kneel.
Mr. Jiang San went over and supported his most promising son. "Qing'er, you've suffered."
Even the strongest body couldn't endure three days of running around. Xu Jing suppressed his sleepiness and shook his head. "Dad, I'm not suffering."
Uncle Jiang San felt relieved when he heard that he was still willing to call him father.
He pulled the person into the inner hall.
Xu Jing took the three incense sticks, knelt before Old Master Jiang's spirit and kowtowed.
"Grandpa, the unfilial son Jiang Xuqing is late."
I looked up again, tears filling my collar.
"I was heartbroken that I couldn't see you for the last time. I can't sleep at night. I hope you can go slower, Grandpa, and come into my dreams so I can see you for the last time. Even if I die, I will be satisfied!"
