"You gave me a life, if you want, I can give it back to you now!
But in the future, if you continue to instigate Liu Lang like this, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Zhang was slapped in the face by her son in public. She was so embarrassed that she retorted unconvincedly.
"How did I sow discord? Qiao Erlang and you are not blood relatives. If he wants to be in the limelight, let him do it. Why do you have to drag you into this, and even your sixth brother?
If there is any benefit, he will get it all by himself. If something goes wrong, none of you will be able to escape. How many people in this capital city wish him dead?"
"When did he drag Sixth Brother into this? Sixth Brother is not a fool, can't he have his own sense of right and wrong?
Second brother is not good to sixth brother, you are like this for only one thousand taels.
Your grandmother helped you earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Now that your family is in danger, why don’t you give out a penny?
Every one of the imperial gifts given to you by the Sixth Princess is worth more than a thousand taels of silver. Why didn't you ask you to refuse them?
Mom, we are not fools. Favors should be reciprocated. Others may not care about us, but why should we take advantage of them as a matter of course?
We are one family, we prosper together and suffer together, who would divide us so clearly?"
Qiao Sanlang's eyes were filled with sadness and disappointment: "Do you think your grandmother can't do anything to you?
No, grandma didn't bother with you again and again for the sake of dad and us.
But you, still wasted the last bit of affection!
When the Qiao family was in danger, you yourself didn't give a penny, and you made your sixth brother learn to stand by and watch, cold-blooded and ruthless. How can your sixth brother face your second brother in the future? How will the other people in the Qiao family see you?"
Zhang seemed to be trapped in her own obsession: "Sanlang, who am I doing this for? I just want to leave more things for you brothers and sisters, right?
Liu Lang is different from you. He has not been favored by your grandmother since he was a child. He was not given anything when the family was divided. You have the property divided by your grandmother, and you don’t have to worry about the source of money. Naturally, you can spend it however you want, but Liu Lang can’t.
All the farms and shops in my mother's hands have been taken back by your grandmother. Your grandmother has cut off all my income. If I don't save money, how will we live in the future?"
Qiao Sanlang suddenly laughed angrily: "Oh, you haven't changed at all, and whenever there is any problem, it is always someone else's fault.
Go outside and take a look, you will see how many people are still not getting enough food to eat. Without our grandmother, we would have died in Xiaoyao Village long ago, and we wouldn’t be living the life we have today.
You said that your grandmother didn't take care of Liu Lang. Did Liu Lang's teacher and martial arts master fall from the sky?
You always think that your grandmother is partial to you, but what have you done for her?
At the beginning, you said you wanted to accompany dad to his new post, and you were afraid that he would find another woman, so you left my third sister and me with grandma and ignored us!
Even if we encounter difficulties and write to you for help, you will only tell us to be good, to be obedient, and to be tolerant!
They even blame us indiscriminately for causing trouble and giving you peace of mind!
When we encountered problems, wasn't it our grandma and dad who helped us solve them?
My sister and I always get complaints from you!
Mother, ask yourself, are you qualified to be a mother, a daughter-in-law, or a wife?"
Qiao Sanlang took it all out and blurted out all the words that had been pent up in his heart for a long time!
Zhang's trusted nanny was horrified when she heard this and hurriedly stopped Qiao Sanlang from continuing.
"Oh, my young master, please don't talk nonsense. A son will never think his mother is ugly. No matter how many faults the lady has, she is still your mother!
If what you said today gets known to outsiders, they will accuse you of being unfilial, and you won't be able to continue your job as an official, and your bright future will be ruined."
Qiao Sanlang remained unmoved and made up his mind to fight Zhang to the end.
He no longer intended to maintain superficial warmth.
If his mother continues to act like this, Liu Lang will be ruined by her.
Now that all the elders in the family are gone, the eldest brother has joined his uncle's army, and the second brother and second sister are busy collecting food and fodder. He is the only one who can spare the time to discipline the family members.
If he can't take the initiative to assume this responsibility, no one will be able to control his mother!
Qiao Sanlang, with a pale face, struggled for a while and then spoke in a cold voice.
"Madam, please pack your luggage and inform the servants that the Second Madam is not feeling well and needs to go to the hot spring manor to recuperate for a long time. Don't come back to the capital unless you have something else to do. I will bring my brother to see you every month during my rest period!"
Zhang felt as if she had been struck by lightning and had no desire to live. She was provoked into becoming like a firecracker by her own son!
"You unfilial son, I'm going to the government office to sue you for being unfilial!"
"Go ahead and sue me. It would be best if you sue me and my father. We will lose our jobs. If you sue my brother, his future will be ruined. If you sue my sister, she won't be able to get married!
In this way, the whole family is together, are you satisfied?"
Sanlang's reckless attitude completely shocked Zhang. He finally realized that Sanlang was serious this time!
"Sanlang, I know I was wrong. I'll ask Mammy to get the silver for you! I won't go to the farm. People there are used to bullying the weak. If I go, I'll die there and no one will know!"
Qiao Sanlang half-knelt down and whispered in Zhang's ear, "You still have a chance to survive if you go to the farm.
Don't go to the farm. When father comes back in the future, he will know that you have been frequently in contact with the women of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, repeatedly causing trouble for your aunt, and you even want to learn from them to lend money at high interest.
Do you think your father will give you a divorce letter, or just let you die of illness?"
The most secret thing was told by her son. Zhang was like a deflated balloon and no longer dared to defend herself.
"Didn't I agree?"
Qiao Sanlang stood up and turned his back: "If you agree, can you still stand here intact?
You should stay away from the capital, it is not suitable for you. With the inheritance your father gave you, it is enough for you to live a comfortable life for the rest of your life!"
Qiao Sanlang called Zhang's servants and maids and immediately started packing her luggage, not wanting to delay for a moment! Seeing that everything was packed and the carriage was ready to set off!
Zhang struggled desperately: "I want to see Sanniang and Liulang!"
"No need to meet him. I will convey this matter to you. When Liu Lang is on leave, I will bring him to see you!
As for the third sister, don't bother her! You should take care of yourself in the future!"
