Jiang Segu was caught off guard by Marquis Changping's actions. When she heard that Marquis Changping wanted to send her to become a nun, she subconsciously thought that someone found her an eyesore and wanted to get rid of her completely.
However, the current situation prevented her from fully considering the purpose behind that person's actions.
She winked at Qiaolian before angrily saying, "Grandfather, you're going to send your granddaughter to become a nun just because of a monk whose background is unknown? What if, in the future, a Taoist priest says that the child in Shaoyao's womb is the reincarnation of a demon? I dare ask you, at that time, will you listen to the monk or the Taoist priest?"
While she was speaking, Qiaolian slipped away lightly.
"Get out of my way!" Marquis Changping glared angrily and shoved aside Old Madam Jiang, who was blocking Jiang Segu's way. "You wretched child, how dare you spout such nonsense and slander the master! I don't need to send you to Jingyue Nunnery to be an eyesore in front of the Bodhisattva. Today I will cleanse the house and beat you to death, you wretched child!"
As he spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table and smashed it over Jiang Segu's head.
That look clearly showed he was intent on killing!
But Jiang Segu was on guard and dodged it in a flash.
When Marquis Changping saw that she still dared to dodge, he was so angry that he picked up a small table and was about to smash Jiang Segu again.
While dodging, Jiang Segu said, "Grandfather, you are a dignified Marquis, yet you are so unable to distinguish right from wrong, easily believing the nonsense of others, and trying to kill your own granddaughter in front of a group of servants. Not to mention what people in the capital will think of the Marquis's mansion after this gets out, aren't you afraid that after I die I will become a vengeful ghost and haunt you day and night, preventing you from dying a peaceful death!"
I will also wreak havoc on the Marquis's residence, especially on those who harmed me. I will follow them day and night, standing by their side, making them live in constant fear and nightmares every night!
Every word was powerful and resounding, every sentence was poignant and sorrowful.
Hearing this, everyone in the room felt a chill run down their spines and a cold shiver creep up their spines.
Enraged, Marquis Changping roared, his eyes blazing with fury, "Go! Go and bring me the ancestral sword! I want to see how you can still haunt me after dying by the imperial sword!"
Back then, Emperor Gaozu not only bestowed the title of Marquis upon the Jiang family, but also presented them with an imperial sword. This wasn't a special gift from Emperor Gaozu, but rather a reward given along with numerous gold and silver treasures.
Because it had no special significance, none of the Jiang family members knew about this sword all these years.
It was just a couple of days ago when Marquis Changping saw it by chance when he went to the warehouse to get something.
Therefore, none of the servants reacted when he said this.
Just then, Grandma Jiang San came over.
She didn't come because she received news that Marquis Changping was going to force Jiang Segu to shave her head and become a nun, but because she heard that Shaoyao had started bleeding again.
Although Peony was nominally carrying Third Master's child, she always had to come and see him to avoid giving people something to gossip about!
Unexpectedly, they ran into Qiaolian, who looked flustered, at the courtyard gate.
Qiaolian explained the situation in a few words, and then Granny Jiang stumbled in and hugged Jiang Segu tightly. "Azi, you're alright now. Your mother is here. No one will dare to do anything to you!"
Then, his gaze toward the Marquis of Changping was like a steel knife scraping bone, "If Your Excellency wants Azi's life, then kill me first!"
You think I wouldn't dare!
"Your Excellency has committed countless absurd acts throughout your life, how could you not dare! However, Your Excellency must not forget! I am still the mother of your only grandson. If Lin-ge'er were to find out that his beloved grandfather killed his mother and sister, what do you think he would do?"
Before Marquis Changping could mention peonies, Granny Jiang continued, "I am not a coward, but I do not wish for my son to become a child without a mother. If Your Excellency is willing to shake hands and talk, I can cover all the expenses for this Peach Blossom Banquet! In addition, I can also pay off all of Your Excellency's gambling debts!"
The Marquis of Changping, who was originally furious, suddenly deflated like a fish bladder that had been squeezed flat.
Grandchildren...if you lose one, you can have another!
Those people in the gambling den are not to be trifled with!
If he hadn't been forced into a corner, he wouldn't have thought of going to the storeroom to take things out to pawn!
Besides, the Peach Blossom Banquet is just around the corner. Any one of his granddaughters, as delicate as flowers, is an absolute beauty. If even one of them could catch the eye of a nobleman, the Marquis's mansion would be much better off than it is now!
But if he were gone, no matter how glorious the Marquis's mansion became in the future, it would have nothing to do with him!
Although it was only a matter of a few thoughts, a full quarter of an hour passed.
At this moment, Qiaolian had already led Li Changshan to the right courtyard.
There was no one guarding the entrance to the right courtyard, and inside, Peony knew that the main courtyard was in chaos and no one would be coming anytime soon, so she was comfortably half-lying on the bed eating red bean and barley cake.
Qiaolian and Li Changshan came in at that moment!
Peony, who was eating red bean and barley cake, turned bright red, whether from fright or choking, and kept patting her chest.
Qiaolian was afraid that something might happen to her again, which would implicate Jiang Segu, so she quickly went forward to pour water for Shaoyao.
Li Changshan called her over and personally went forward to pour water for the peony.
The teapot doesn't contain plain water, but tea.
Although pregnant women can drink a little tea, if he wasn't mistaken, this tea should be hawthorn and tangerine peel water!
This water has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It is used to treat qi stagnation and blood stasis. Pregnant women should absolutely not drink this!
Li Changshan glanced again at the two kinds of pastries on the coffee table.
Red bean and barley cake, rose petal cake.
Job's tears have a slippery nature, while rose petals promote blood circulation.
Although these vary from person to person, even the strongest mother would not joke about the fetus in her womb!
Furthermore, Peony had already shown signs of miscarriage, and it was already quite an achievement that she was able to save the fetus. How could she still dare to eat these foods? Was it because she didn't understand, or was it someone deliberately trying to cause this?
