"How is that possible?" The Qin family naturally didn't believe that there would be a high-ranking official from the capital in their remote place.
Village chief Qin was silent, because he knew that the Minister of Agriculture was in the Xu family, but he discovered it by chance.
The people in the gambling house naturally didn't bother to explain. They threatened the Qin family's eldest grandson with his hands, and they signed the IOU unwillingly.
The Qin family looked dejected. Seeing the people from the gambling house dragging Qin Xianglan away like a dead dog, old Mrs. Qin couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Bao, which family is the Zuo family in the capital?"
"Hello, player. The Zuo family is the current Madam Jiang's family."
"It's her. It's interesting that Jiang Yan is playing this trick." Xu Ning gave Jiang Yan a thumbs up in his heart. It seems that Jiang Yan really hates his stepmother.
"Jiang Yi, is there any news from the capital?" Jiang Yan asked about the situation in the capital after Jiang Yi got back on the carriage.
"Master, Jiang Er sent a message this morning saying that after General Pei brought the person back, the woman had a terrible temper."
"And more."
"General Pei reported the incident to the court. Your father was fined a year's salary, demoted a rank, and ordered to reflect on his mistakes at home for six months. Your father also slapped that woman for hiring the wrong person and stripped her of her housekeeping rights."
"Oh, now he has taken back the stewardship?"
"Yes, Master."
Jiang Yan's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes full of sarcasm. His good father and stepmother, this was just the beginning.
"Let the people below take action."
"Yes." A response came from the corner of the carriage, and soon a figure flashed by.
In the carriage at the back, Pei Jiao had her eyes closed but had not yet fallen asleep, so she naturally heard Jiang Yan's instructions. She felt very comforted, as she knew that this was a gift from her cousin for her return to Beijing.
At the Zuo family in the capital, Zuo Jing disguised herself as a maid and returned to her parents' home. Before she could say anything, she was scolded by her biological parents.
Zuo Jing's face looked very ugly. She was about to say something, but suddenly she felt as disgusted as if she had eaten shit.
She did all this for them, but now that she has encountered difficulties, these people are starting to bully her.
"Since you don't welcome me back, I'd better leave." Zuo's father and mother seemed to have just noticed their daughter's gloomy face and hurriedly grabbed her. Zuo's mother rushed to say, "Tell me what we should do from now on! Today, I went out on the street and was scolded by a shrew!"
"I remember that shrew. Wasn't she the wife of a third-rank general? She actually dared to scold me. If it weren't for..."
"Enough! Let's talk about business!" Zuo's father interrupted Zuo's mother. Zuo's mother glared at him and obediently didn't say anything else.
"My dear son-in-law, you're such a fool! You actually got demoted, but you didn't even mention your family. Your eldest brother has been stuck at the fourth rank for the past few years. If he had gotten promoted, how could your mother be bullied by a third rank imperial consort?"
"That's right!" Zuo's mother was still beside him, responding to Zuo's father.
Zuo Jing was so angry that she almost vomited blood after hearing this. She kept telling herself that these were her biological parents, and only then did she restrain herself from cursing.
What do you mean they didn't mention it? If they had mentioned the Zuo family under the circumstances at that time, wouldn't that have told everyone what they were thinking?
Zuo Jing endured it again and again, "Dad and Mom, can't you be a little bit compassionate to me? My husband is already like this, and you don't think about how to help, but just want to promote my eldest brother. Is now a good time to promote my eldest brother?!"
"When can we not be promoted? When someone is demoted, someone else will be promoted!" Zuo Jing's elder brother Zuo Si suddenly spoke, and Zuo Jing didn't even notice how he appeared.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is what her eldest brother meant.
Her elder brother actually coveted her husband's official position!!!
