Chapter 318 Non-Dream



The moment he saw Jiang Yi, Zhu Ziyu's eyes flickered for a moment, but soon calmed down.

Jiang Yi pushed away Jiang Si who was trying to support her and walked step by step to Zhu Ziyu.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yi asked, "My husband, you just said that you and Miss Cui are in love with each other. Is that true?"

Zhu Ziyu said nothing.

"Is it true?" Jiang Yi asked again.

She tried her best to control her trembling eyelashes and prevent the tears from rolling down.

"Tell me, is this true?" Jiang Yi asked for the third time, her tone already out of control.

After his wife asked him repeatedly, Zhu Ziyu finally nodded gently, saying in a heavy tone: "Yiniang, I am sorry for you..."

Jiang Yi stepped back repeatedly, looking distraught: "Impossible, I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."

How could she believe it? He had been so gentle and caring to her during their marriage and they had never even had a loud argument.

Even though she was criticized by her mother-in-law so many times, her husband would protect her, comfort her and give her the most solid support.

Now, this man told her that he was in love with another woman and asked his parents-in-law and father to approve the marriage...

Then what is she?

Jiang Yi's vision went dark.

Only then did she realize that this was what it felt like when the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.

This must be a nightmare, it must be a dream, everything will be fine when she wakes up...

Jiang Yi turned around and walked out in a daze.

Jiang Si grabbed Jiang Yi's hand.

Jiang Yi rolled her eyes and smiled at Jiang Si: "Fourth sister, how come I dreamed of you too——"

Jiang Si grabbed Jiang Yi's hand tightly and said, "Sister, wake up. This is not a dream. This is all real!"

Things have come to this point, she cannot let her elder sister continue to deceive herself.

"real?"

Jiang Si nodded: "It is true that Zhu Ziyu and Miss Cui had a secret meeting. It is true that Zhu Ziyu said that he and Miss Cui were in love with each other. It is also true that Zhu Ziyu asked his father to help him. There is no dream, and we can't live in a dream. Big sister, don't you agree?"

Jiang Yi's eyes gradually regained clarity, but after that, there was overwhelming pain and shock.

Jiang Si felt relieved instead.

She is not afraid of sadness and despair. In this life, she will not get married and will stay with her elder sister well. She believes that her elder sister will get over it sooner or later.

"Yier, come here." Jiang Ancheng spoke.

Jiang Si walked over with Jiang Yi.

Jiang Ancheng's face was calm, but his eyes seemed to be filled with fire. He fixed his gaze on his eldest daughter and said, "Stand behind father."

Jiang Yi walked over blankly, feeling as if there was a hole in her heart, empty and uncomfortable.

Jiang Ancheng looked at Zhu Ziyu: "Did you just say that you disappointed me?"

Zhu Ziyu was respectful, and his tone was humble and sincere: "It's all my fault. But now that things have come to this, I can't let Miss Cui down again. I beg my father-in-law to help me..."

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard!" Jiang Zhan was so angry that he raised his fist and rushed over.

Seeing Zhu Ziyu being hit by several punches, Jiang Si walked over and pulled Jiang Zhan back: "Second brother, listen to father. Beating people is not the solution to the problem."

Jiang Zhan withdrew his hand with a dark face.

Jiang Ancheng laughed: "Fulfill? I have lived for forty years and I have been kind to people, but I don't know how to fulfill the wishes of animals."

Zhu Ziyu didn't expect Jiang Ancheng to say such harsh words, and his face turned pale slightly.

Although Zhu Shaoqing and his wife felt sorry for their son, they were both law-abiding people. They never expected that their eldest son, of whom they were always so proud, would do something like this. Now they were too embarrassed to argue.

Jiang Ancheng's laughter echoed in the hall. That laughter was filled with endless sarcasm and anger, and it made people feel heavy in their hearts as if a huge rock was pressing down on them.

The laughter stopped, and Jiang Ancheng looked at Zhu Ziyu with contempt: "My daughter is a well-behaved and respectable person, how can she stay with a beast? Don't worry, I won't let her stay in this den of wolves. But you have to remember, it's not me who is helping you, but people can't live with beasts!"

Jiang Zhan clapped his hands: "Father, you are right!"

He used to think that his father was most majestic when he was scolding him, but now he realizes that he is most majestic when he is scolding others.

Zhu Shaoqing wiped the sweat from his forehead again and again: "Father-in-law, the little beast was just confused for a moment, it shouldn't be like this."

"Confused for a moment? I can't see." Jiang Siliang spoke.

Zhu Shaoqing frowned and looked at Jiang Si, his heart aroused: "Miss Jiang Si, you are still young, it is better not to get involved in adult affairs."

They would rather demolish a temple than regret a marriage. How could a family like them make such a joke of divorce?

Besides, what is Miss Cui’s status? Even if they really get divorced, can she still marry the eldest son as a concubine?

My son is so confused!

Jiang Si smiled coldly upon hearing this: "Master Zhu is wrong. Zhu Ziyu is a few years older than me, but he is capable of murdering his wife and having an affair with an unmarried noblewoman."

Zhu Shaoqing took a deep breath and said, "What do you mean by murdering my wife? You can't just say that!"

Jiang Si had a mocking expression on his lips: "Master Zhu, have you forgotten that not long ago my elder sister almost lost her life when she encountered a horse scare at Baiyun Temple, and the person who ordered the driver has not been found yet? Now I have reason to suspect that the mastermind behind this is Zhu Ziyu!"

When Jiang Si mentioned this, Jiang Ancheng's expression changed immediately.

Originally, for the sake of his granddaughter Yanyan, he just planned to divorce her. If Zhu Ziyu had been planning to harm his eldest daughter, he would not have let this beast get away with it!

He wants Zhu Ziyu to be disgraced and never be able to work in officialdom for the rest of his life!

"Let's go!" Jiang Ancheng turned around and waved his sleeves.

Jiang Yi didn't move.

Jiang Ancheng stopped and looked at his eldest daughter.

Jiang Yi's face was paler than paper. She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, letting her nails dig into her palms.

She didn't feel any pain at all, because none of these could fill the void in her heart at that moment.

Jiang Si's heart suddenly began to tense up.

What if the eldest sister insisted on staying in the Zhu family even if Zhu Ziyu was disgraced and determined to marry someone else?

Upon seeing this, Zhu Shaoqing and his wife looked at each other and felt a little relieved.

As long as the daughter-in-law is unwilling to take that step, there is room for change.

"Yier, what do you think?" Jiang Ancheng asked this question with an ugly look on his face.

Facing her father, Jiang Yi's tears, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and she said softly, "Father, I will go with you."

Jiang Ancheng couldn't help but smile: "Okay, let's go."

But Jiang Yi lowered her head and spoke in a softer voice: "But where is Yanyan?"

He begged her father to agree to it. She was not a shameless person, but what about her daughter Yanyan?

Yanyan is only three years old, how can she leave her mother?

When she thought of this, Jiang Yi felt as if a knife was stabbing into her heart.

At this time, Princess Rongyang finally spoke: "I have heard so much from you all, but I have not yet asked my daughter's opinion. Mingyue, are you and Mr. Zhu really in love with each other, and you will not marry anyone else but him?"

Everyone looked towards Cui Mingyue.

Cui Mingyue pursed her lips and suddenly covered her face and started crying.
