Chapter 214: Stronger
The tea party is over and everyone is leaving.
Li Niyue felt very sorry for Jiang and said soothingly, "Auntie, she's just a niece anyway, don't worry about it so much."
Perhaps it was because her identity as a niece reminded her of the one in her family, Li Niyue had no good feelings towards Jiang Qianzhu at all.
Jiang nodded at her and forced a smile.
A few people left the teahouse, and at this time Jiang Qianzhu also came out with Yang.
The two of them were arm in arm, talking and laughing, looking very intimate. At first glance, you would have thought they were mother and daughter or blood relatives!
Jiang's face looked even worse.
Jiang Qianzhu also saw Jiang coming out at this time.
She smiled crisply, "Aunt, have you finished your tea too?"
"After you finish your tea, come back with me." Jiang said.
"But Auntie Yang said she still wanted to take me shopping. She said there was a jewelry store that was very suitable for me and she wanted to take me to have a look."
Jiang's face instantly turned cold, "You should come back with me!"
The battlefield between women is sometimes so inexplicable.
Before leaving, Li Niyue advised her that she was just her niece and asked her not to take it so seriously. But now Jiang wanted to compare her skills.
After all, how can you not fight for your dignity?
She is no longer friends with Yang, and there is even some special hostility between them.
Back then, she almost married her own daughter to their family. She didn't know what kind of person Luo Heng was. How could Yang not know what kind of person her own son is!
That Yang was deliberately trying to trick her and almost put her precious daughter into a fire pit!
As for Jiang Qianzhu, she treated her as her own daughter. Now that she had no daughter, she treated her with all her heart. However, Jiang Qianzhu actually chose to stand with Yang because of a few words over a cup of tea. This really made her very angry.
But if she was asked to just abandon Jiang Qianzhu and leave her alone, she would find it hard to swallow this!
Immediately, Yang wanted to take Jiang Qianzhu away in front of her, and Jiang's sense of defeat was aroused.
She just didn't believe that Jiang Qianzhu was really such an ungrateful person!
Her face turned pale, and Yang couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Jiang, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't we go shopping together? I just finished my tea."
"No, it's getting late, we have to go back." Jiang looked at Jiang Qianzhu seriously, "Qianzhu, go back with your aunt."
"Aunt~" Jiang Qianzhu acted coquettishly, but when her eyes met Jiang's cold and serious look, she couldn't help but put away the smile on her face.
She weighed the options in her mind and let go of Yang's hand, "Aunt Yang, I'll go with you another day."
She wisely chose her own aunt at the right time.
She stood back beside Jiang, and Jiang's expression instantly looked much better.
Seeing this, Yang on the other side smiled with regret, loss and meaning, "Then I'll definitely do it next time."
"Okay." Jiang Qianzhu responded crisply.
After he said this, he was taken to the carriage by Jiang.
On the other side, Lu Lingyun and Li Niyue looked at each other, both with teasing and unspeakable words in their eyes, and they each got on their own carriages.
In the Wang family's carriage, after getting on the carriage, Jiang's face immediately turned bad.
She had a cold face and said nothing.
Jiang Qianzhu looked at her expression and began to coax her, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. Once he started talking, Jiang became even angrier.
"Auntie Yang just invited me for tea, why are you so angry?"
Jiang was immediately furious, "Do you know who Yang is?"
"I know. Isn't he your friend, Auntie?"
"Hmph! She is Luo Heng's mother!" Jiang snorted coldly and looked at Jiang Qianzhu's expression, wanting her to realize how dangerous and stupid she had just been!
But to her surprise, Jiang Qianzhu didn't care at all.
"I know she is the wife of the Dali Temple's Shaoqing. She told me." Jiang Qianzhu said.
"You knew that, and you still dared to go shopping with her?!"
"Auntie Yang has explained to me that the rumors about her son beating people are all misinterpretations. Mr. Luo didn't beat anyone. He was drunk and pushed his wife by mistake. His wife didn't stand steadily and fell hard. They immediately called a doctor to see her, but that unscrupulous doctor turned around and spread rumors!"
"You can see that his wife's family didn't say anything, and no one said anything."
Jiang frowned when she heard this. "Do you know who his wife is? His wife is a girl from Yang's family. Her family lives in another place. She relies on Yang as her aunt in the capital. If you tell her about this, will Yang protect her son or her? And you're also talking about her family? What can her family say? Don't be fooled by her!"
After the Wang family rejected the marriage proposal from the Luo family, the reputation of the Luo family also made many families stay away from them. Yang Shi couldn't find a new wife for Luo Heng in the capital, so she married her own daughter to him.
Luo Heng's wife had no relatives in the capital, and even if she was beaten, no one would seek justice for her.
And even so, the news of her being beaten could be heard from the Luo family's backyard, which shows that Luo Heng beat her more than once or twice.
How could Jiang, who is only in his teens, believe such words!
"But aunt, can you guarantee that what you heard is true?" Jiang Qianzhu didn't care about her aunt's words at all, and said righteously, "This kind of rumor is based on hearsay. Without any evidence, no one knows whether it is true or not. Aunt, you can't just follow the crowd! You taught me this."
Jiang: “…”
Jiang Qianzhu was so choked by Jiang's words that she was speechless.
She looked away with a gloomy face, not wanting to say a word to Jiang Qianzhu.
Seeing her sulking, Jiang Qianzhu put on a flattering smile and tried to coax her, "Aunt, I know you're doing this for my own good, worrying that I've been cheated. How can I not see that? You're the best person in the world to me."
This was useful. Jiang snorted, "You knew it and you still went with her!"
"Then what do you want me to choose? The wife of Cheng Shizi suddenly appeared and took you away, but you know she doesn't like me." Jiang Qianzhu looked like she was the one who was wronged. "Yesterday she openly said that I was uneducated. You want to go with her. Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Jiang: “….”
"Lingyun saw Yang and came to our rescue."
"You think you're out of trouble, but what about me? If I follow you, who knows how she'll ridicule and bully me!"
Jiang: "How is this possible?"
"Aunt, you don't love me at all." Jiang Qianzhu turned her head away, "You should just go find that prince's wife to be your daughter. Qianzhu knows that she is not worthy of him."
Having said that, Jiang Shi was not angry with her at all. She just thought that she was wronged by the child and tried to comfort her.
"Qianzhu, how can you say that? Auntie has always treated you as her own daughter, just like Qiluo!"
