Chapter 451 Bitter Fruit
Severe pain coming from the body.
It made Jiang Yunze wake up from his dream.
He remembered that he was attacked on his way back from Zhou's house.
And then I knew nothing.
He beat his legs hard.
Try to get out of bed and walk.
I hope this is all fake, just a nightmare.
However, when he rolled to the ground with his bedding, he was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and no matter how he struggled, he could not get up.
When he saw his mother crying and hesitant to speak, he knew that his legs were no longer functioning.
He could never become an official again, and he could never make a comeback.
Disabled...
He became a useless person.
Jiang Yunze lay on the ground, trembling and twitching, his eyes full of hatred.
This is worse than killing him.
It is said that the prime minister has a heart as big as a boat, but the left prime minister's heart is smaller than a needle.
A traitor will not be allowed to live in this world.
He thought he was doomed.
Unexpectedly, the Left Prime Minister made his life worse than death.
He was unwilling.
But what can I do if I am unwilling?
Who should he hate?
He hated the right prime minister who ordered the confiscation of his family's property.
He hated the Prime Minister Zuo who broke his legs and made his life worse than death.
Hate the culprit of this incident, his emotionless and rebellious daughter?
She shouldn't have been born in the first place.
This is not a daughter at all, it's clearly a debt collector.
A disaster was born.
What an injustice!
He looked up at Old Lady Jiang, then at his own legs, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Haha... retribution... this must be retribution, Mother. You had someone break my brother's leg, and look, my leg is lame too. Don't you think this is retribution?"
"No... no..." Old Mrs. Jiang was frightened by her son's appearance. She stumbled and fell beside him, clutching her son's hand. "That's not the case. It's the servants who were too careless. It's all their fault. There's no retribution. Ze'er, don't think too much."
The hurt is on the child, but the pain is on the mother's heart.
If possible, she would like to suffer this pain for her son.
She also didn't understand why things turned out like this.
But her son seemed to be blaming her.
Who could she tell her suffering to? She raised her child with great difficulty, educated him to become a talented person, and helped her brother enter the government and become a fourth-rank official in the court.
It is a great event that brings honor to the family.
The wives my son married were all more powerful than the other.
The daughter of a general, the young lady of a minister's mansion, and the eldest daughter of a marquis's mansion.
She was an illiterate country woman, but she could do this and she would die without regrets.
He has lived up to the ancestors of the Jiang family and her husband who died early.
But in the end, why didn’t I keep any of them?
It seems like we have returned to the starting point.
She couldn't understand it and couldn't accept it. How could such a happy event turn out like this?
My son's legs are also broken.
I don’t know which bastard beat her son.
What she found most difficult to accept was the gold and silver she had accumulated over the years, and the boxes of jewelry and jade ornaments, and the boxes of gold hairpins.
That’s all.
All gone!
The damned officers not only searched under her bed and in her chamber pot, but also smashed the wall.
Not a single cent was left for her.
They even took away the gold hairpins on her head and the jade bracelets on her hands.
She also had her maid search her body.
hateful.
Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that her heart ached, it hurt more than if her heart was cut out.
But when she thought that she had a promising grandson and a princess's granddaughter, her heart didn't seem to hurt so much.
She took great pains to get her son to bed and comforted him, "Son, I'll go look for Yan Ge'er and Miao Miao in the next two days. Even if you and Lu divorce, they will always be your children and my grandchildren. You can't abandon us no matter what."
Jiang Yunze was so angry that his teeth itched. He grabbed his mother's hand and said, "Mom, don't go. I'm in this state now because of that damn girl Jiang Miaomiao. She probably wishes I would die sooner."
"Okay... Mom will listen to you." When Old Mrs. Jiang heard this, she was even more unlikely to give up.
He agreed with his mouth, but had his own plans in mind.
Jiang Yunze lay on the bed, calmed down, and then looked around again.
The house was a bit old, but it was spacious and they didn't have to sleep on the streets.
But how did her mother find this house?
"Mom, where are we?"
"It's the Zhou family's old house in the suburbs." Old Mrs. Jiang glanced at the house with disdain.
She was cheated, but she didn't dare tell her son.
That brat from the Zhou family actually lied to her.
It was supposed to be a large house with a garden, two rooms, a garden, and a pool...
But when I got there, I found that it was big, but the whole yard was deserted, just like a haunted house.
The yard is full of weeds and thorns, even ghosts dislike it.
There are many houses, but only a few of them are dilapidated and suitable for living. They are not even as good as my hometown in Taoxi Village.
Old Mrs. Jiang felt very sad.
Jiang Yunze was delighted, thinking that the Zhou family was willing to lend a helping hand, but then he remembered that Zhou had not shown up.
Tao Tao must have left, otherwise it would be impossible for her to not show up for such a long time.
"Mother, where are Zhou and the child?"
Judging from what the Zhou family said, they have no intention of letting Zhou go back.
If Lord Zhou is unwilling to help, then let his daughter suffer a little so that she can go back and ask for more money, or buy them a better house.
Things have come to this point, he would rather let Zhou go back to beg for money than to be ridiculed by Lu Qingyao.
His father-in-law said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog.
If you want a divorce letter, forget it.
A divorce letter is also impossible.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked guilty: "Zhou was taken away by her brother, and Xiao Shu might have been secretly taken away by Tao Tao."
It would be better to take him away, as she doesn't want to be an extra burden.
It will be a money-losing thing even if it grows up.
Jiang Yunze was overwhelmed: "...Mom, how can we let Zhou go? What will we do if she leaves?"
He no longer cared about his legs.
The most important issue to be addressed is livelihood.
"Son, I saw that Zhou was illiterate and lazy, with such a small body, she would be better off as a maid, so... so I exchanged her for some silver and this house." Old Mrs. Jiang said, taking out a box of silver from under the bed, with a proud look on her face.
Jiang Yunze closed his eyes and said, "Forget it. As long as the divorce papers are in my hands, they will come to me again."
He almost forgot about Zhou Mu.
Lord Zhou doesn't care about Zhou, but it's impossible for Zhou Mu not to care, as the relationship between the two siblings has always been deep.
Besides, this kid is just a fool. When Jin'er was still around, he kept sticking to her and gave her a lot of good things, even the rewards from the palace.
Anyway, the Zhou family has plenty of money.
If for no other reason, he wanted to vent his anger because Lord Zhou did not help him.
Make a lot of money from Zhou Mu.
However, what Old Lady Jiang said almost made him vomit blood.
"Son, that Mr. Zhou took a piece of paper covered with words and signed it with your hand. I guess it's a divorce agreement..."
Jiang Yunze: "...Mom, you are confused. How could you agree to this?"
I was so excited that I almost rolled off the bed again.
Old Mrs. Jiang quickly supported him, and while calming her son down, she explained, "Son, I know you're definitely going to blame me, but the situation at the time was like this. Zhou was determined to leave, and Zhou Sanlang threatened me with your injuries. You were about to be beaten to death. If you didn't get treatment, you would have died. As much as I love money, no matter how much money I have, it's not as important as your life."
The old lady was crying with tears and snot all over her face.
She just felt that the money was a little too little. As for the daughter-in-law of the noble lady, she was not as good as Lu Qingyao.
She inquired, "Son, how about we go and ask Qingyao for help?"
