When Jiang He returned, he told his mother about Chen Yulan's actions, and Jiang's mother gasped in shock.
Has she lost her mind?
Why did they start cursing at the main gate?
Even prestigious families care about their reputation; is she just throwing caution to the wind?
But doesn't the Jiang family still have a legitimate daughter who hasn't gotten married?
Why is he acting so recklessly?
Jiang's mother couldn't have imagined that Chen Yulan was truly giving up on everything.
During the days Jiang Chuwei was away, she was almost driven crazy by the old lady.
The old lady's headache had not yet healed. Whenever it flared up, she would send someone to summon Chen Yulan for a beating.
The Marquis no longer cares.
She was simply asked to take good care of the old woman.
They would also ask for money from time to time.
Even more devastating was the discovery by Chen Yulan that the vixen the Marquis was keeping outside had actually fathered a son with him.
Isn't this driving Chen Yulan crazy?

Avene
Granny Qiu looked at her young mistress with heartache. What a bunch of scoundrels this family is!
A perfectly good young lady from the General's Mansion has fallen into this cesspool of rotten fish and shrimp.
Jiang Chuwei knew that the nanny felt sorry for her: "It's alright, whatever they do has nothing to do with the General's Mansion."
"What you say is true, Miss. We just need to live our own lives well."
Jiang Chuwei nodded: "Is there any news from Lu Yanke?"
"Yes!" Granny Qiu quickly took out the secret letter.
When Lu Yanke went to the salt mine, Jiang Chuwei arranged for her people to keep an eye on him.
Jiang Chuwei burned the letter after reading it: "A leopard can't change its spots!"
In his previous life, Lu Yanke did indeed make a fortune by relying on the Prince of Jin.
The Marquis's family also began to prosper around this time.
Granny Qiu: "What should we do next?"
"Have someone keep an eye on him, let him sell it a few more times, and collect the evidence."
"Yes, Miss, don't worry, they will keep a close eye on things."
Granny Qiu was trained by the General's Mansion. She was not only Jiang Chuwei's wet nurse, but also her housekeeper.
Jiang Chuwei brought all the people from the General's Mansion, and she managed them all.
Jiang Chuwei had also gotten used to Granny Qiu's decisive and efficient manner.
Humans are greedy, and Lu Yanke's appetite will only grow bigger and bigger.
It seems that Prince Jin took the initiative to seek out Lu Yanke.
Given Lu Yanke's abilities, how could he possibly find such a large sales channel in such a short period of time?
However, Prince Jin was courting disaster; they actually sold their salt back to the capital.
This is practically offering yourself up for death.
Let Lu Yanke run wild for a few days first, then Chen Yulan's good days are coming.
As expected.
About ten days later, Lu Yanke returned to the capital.
His beloved daughter and son are both at home.
How could Lu Yanke bear to part with someone he hadn't seen for so long?
However, this time he brought back a large sum of money.
Looking at the thick stack of silver notes, Chen Yulan felt uncertain: "How did you earn so much money in such a short time?"
Lu Yanke blurted out, "It's because my son met a wealthy businessman and did some business with him, which is why his wealth has multiplied several times over!"
Chen Yulan had no suspicions. These days, she and the Marquis had also fallen out because of the matter of the illegitimate child.
Now that the Marquis has another son, Chen Yulan's years of strict vigilance have finally revealed a loophole.
She felt like the sky had fallen.
Now that her son is so successful, what does it matter if the Marquis has ten or eight sons? They'll still be living under her, his legal mother.
With money comes confidence, and Chen Yulan's spine has straightened considerably.
Now that my son can earn money, if I'm willing to spend money to bribe officials, he'll have a bright future in the Ministry of Works.
The gloom that had been hanging over Chen Yulan for so long has finally dissipated.
She said to her son, "Your wife is a troublemaker. You don't like her, and the General's Mansion has fallen on hard times. She won't give you a single penny of her dowry. You might as well divorce her."
Lu Yanke originally wanted to refute this, but the Jiang family had an older brother who was guarding the border.
He thought about it again. Now that he had gotten involved with Prince Jin, the fact that the General's Mansion was feared by the Emperor was not a good thing for Prince Jin: "Alright, I'll listen to my mother."
If the Prince of Jin knew that all his efforts to get close to the General's Mansion had been thwarted by this fool, he would skin him alive.
Chen Yulan was overjoyed upon hearing this, as long as she divorced Jiang Chuwei, she wouldn't be able to take her dowry with her.
A daughter-in-law like that, any family that wants her can have her.
The Marquis's mansion cannot afford such treatment.
After the mother and son conspired for a while, Lu Yanke hurriedly went to Jianjia Courtyard.
The person he cherishes most is there.
He missed her terribly after not being together for so long.
As soon as Lu Yanke stepped into Jianjia Courtyard, Qiao Xuerou rushed up to him: "Young Master!"
Tears of grievance fell without restraint.
Lu Yanke was heartbroken: "Who bullied Rou'er?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xuerou's tears flowed like a broken string of pearls, impossible to wipe away.
The suffering she has endured these days is far more than just a little.
Her grandmother scolded her mother-in-law, and she lived in the Marquis's mansion without even a proper title.
Lu Yanke hurriedly helped her wipe her face, and seeing that Qiao Xuerou showed no signs of stopping, he quickly took out a silver note: "Don't cry anymore, you won't suffer any more grievances in the future."
Upon seeing so many silver notes, Qiao Xuerou immediately stopped crying.
"Your Highness?" She couldn't believe it. "Is all this money mine?"
"Yes, Rou'er can buy whatever she wants from now on. I will also earn lots and lots of money for you and your son to spend."
Upon hearing the words "mother and child," Qiao Xuerou's tears streamed down her face again.
"What's wrong now?" Lu Yanke had finally managed to calm him down, and now this happened again.
