When Wei Wenxuan's children saw their father lose face, they gained a completely new understanding of Jiang Tian.
Wei Jinxiu's heart was filled with even more turbulent waves.
After she was reborn, she changed many things, but she had never met her aunt who lived far away in the Northwest. Why did she come back?
Could this also be a change brought about by her rebirth?
After Jiang Tian changed her clothes, she asked a servant to tell Wei Wenxuan to wait for her, as she had something to say.
Wei Wenxuan naturally dared not refuse.
Since the master wasn't leaving, Aunt Chu didn't dare to leave first.
The children also had to wait there to greet Jiang Tian.
So a group of people stood there, waiting for Jiang Tian to come out after changing her clothes.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Yu followed Jiang Tian like a little follower, her face still flushed with excitement.
"Even when you're sick, you won't behave; you won't even lie down when I tell you to."
The two sisters talked as they walked.
Jiang Yu just smiled ingratiatingly. Having finally seen her sister, she felt as if she had found her pillar of support and didn't want to leave for even a moment.
Moreover, the doctor came to check her pulse a couple of days ago. She has a serious heart condition, but she is not yet at the point of death, unless she herself has lost the will to live.
As soon as Jiang Tian entered, a large group of people bowed to her.
Jiang Tian's husband, Xu Changsheng, was a second-rank general before his death and was posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Valor. She herself had an imperial decree, and no one dared to look down on her.
She said calmly that they should get up, and then sat down, gesturing for Jiang Yu to sit down as well.
Wei Wenxuan waited for a long time, but Jiang Tian didn't speak, so he had no choice but to stand there.
Jiang Tian took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and asked Jiang Yu, "Have you finished the Da Hong Pao I gave you?"
Aunt Chu's expression, hidden in the shadows, froze.
She kept all the gifts Jiang Tian gave her during holidays.
Jiang Yu was bedridden for many years. He had asked about her a few times, but received no response and became disheartened, so he stopped asking.
Now, whenever Jiang Tian mentions it, a hint of embarrassment appears on Jiang Yu's face.
When facing her elder sister, she subconsciously didn't want to reveal her own unbearable situation. After all, her elder sister had also had a hard life, living as a widow in the Northwest, and coming to see her as soon as she returned.
Before she could think of an excuse, Wei Jinxiu suddenly cried and said, "Aunt, Mother never got to drink the tea. All the gifts you sent were taken by Aunt Chu!"
She's ten years old this year, and she's practically a little adult. In two or three years, she'll be ready to get married. If she throws a tantrum for no reason, people will look down on her.
No one expected her to suddenly erupt, and the hall fell silent for a moment.
Aunt Chu never expected that it was that wretched girl Wei Jinxiu who had ruined things. A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, and she quickly knelt down: "Reporting to Madam, the tea leaves are all stored properly in the storeroom."
Jiang Tian hummed in agreement and asked Aunt Chu, "What's your name?"
“Reporting to Madam, my name is Chu Lian. I am the concubine that Master brought into the manor a few years ago.”
"Were they brought in a few years ago?"
Aunt Chu glanced at Wei Wenxuan, sensing something was wrong, and said cautiously, "I...I can't remember how many years it was..."
"You're well-maintained; memory always gets worse as you get older."
Aunt Chu's face contorted for a moment, and she almost twisted the handkerchief in her hand until it was tattered.
Wei Wenxuan stood expressionless to the side. After a few moments, he bowed to Jiang Tian and apologized: "She was someone I took as a concubine eight years ago. At that time, Ayu and I had been childless for many years, so we brought her in."
“You and Jiang Yu have been married for eleven years. Jinxiu is ten years old this year. She became pregnant with Jinxiu not long after the marriage. You took a concubine eight years ago. At that time, Jiang Yu should have given birth to Jinxiu less than two years ago.”
"According to you, Jiang Yu has to risk damaging her body and give birth to two children for you in three years, and one of them has to be a son, before that's acceptable?"
"If you can't control your own flesh, then don't try to smear Jiang Yu. Wei Wenxuan, you're really getting worse as you get older."
