Chapter 274 Bird in a Cage
The day of the Ghost Festival.
The main gate of Jiang Mansion.
Because there was a big fight this morning.
Someone carried several coffins into the Jiang family early in the morning.
Once carried in, it was never carried out again.
But smoke billowed out from the open space in the Jiang family's backyard.
They burned the coffins, after all, they couldn't really keep them if they didn't burn them.
The whole family is still very healthy.
Even old lady Jiang seemed to be in good spirits and would go to the temple on the outskirts of the city to worship every month.
Perhaps because she came from the countryside, her body was much stronger than those ladies from aristocratic families.
But this time, when she heard someone carrying a coffin home, she, who had always been strong, fainted from anger.
When Jiang Yunze heard that his mother was so angry, he slapped Qi Caiwei in the face and said, "Look at what you have done."
Qi Caiwei covered her face and looked at her angry husband, feeling uneasy.
No matter how angry Jiang Yunze was with her in the past, he never hit her.
I actually hit her today.
Don’t be fooled by your husband’s calm and composed appearance on weekdays. When he gets angry, he may not say a word to you for a month.
Not to mention going into your room.
Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Even if she is the daughter of a minister, she will regard her husband as her heaven after marriage and naturally does not want to be rejected by her husband.
She also didn't expect that Lu Qingyao would seize the Jiangzhou incident as a handle and use it to threaten them.
But the assassination, no matter how much it spread outside, had nothing to do with her.
Those sent out were all death squads, and there was no possibility of them leaving any evidence.
"My husband, don't listen to that woman's slander just now. My sister has sent a message to divorce you. Even if I hate her for poisoning Pei'er, that's all in the past. Besides, she also brought Fengge, Yan'er and Miaomiao with her. They are all your flesh and blood. How could I possibly do such a cruel thing to them? You have to believe me."
Jiang Yunze looked at her coldly and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Qingyao has something on you?"
"I..." Qi Caiwei was stunned for a moment, remembering what Jin'er had said, "Of course I'm wary, but I believe my sister won't disregard the lives of the children."
She was very sure of this.
There is no mother who doesn't care about her child.
Jiang Yunze looked at her with an ambiguous expression.
This woman...seems to have grown a little smarter than before.
He really didn't like this feeling. Smart women have too many ideas and are not so obedient.
He collected his thoughts, held Qi Caiwei's hand, and smiled. "Wei'er, your husband was too worried about mother just now, so he hit you. Will you blame me?"
Seeing him like this, Qi Caiwei finally felt relieved and shook her head, saying, "Of course not. It's all because of Mu Jiangyue who's been too bullying."
"That's good, but I'm afraid that within a day, everyone in the capital will be saying that I'm plotting to murder my wife and children, which will definitely damage my official reputation. If His Majesty gets to know about it, he's probably going to blame me again." Jiang Yunze sighed.
He looked very helpless.
When Mu Jiangyue came here, he must have been very ostentatious.
I'm afraid by now, no one knows what the rumors are outside.
"Although these are just rumors, if you divorce me or divorce me at this critical moment, the rumors will definitely spread more and more. I'm afraid that promoting you as the legal wife..."
Qi Caiwei was stunned.
What do you mean? Can't we get a divorce just because of this trivial matter?
That won't do. The woman finally gave in.
She was only one step away from becoming the mistress of the house.
"Don't worry, my husband. I'll go find my father and try to quell the rumors."
"Then I'll leave it to Lao Wei'er. I'm going to see my mother." Jiang Yunze patted her hand lightly before leaving.
The smile on his face faded instantly.
Although it is easy to control Qi Caiwei, the person pretending is also very tired.
When Qingyao was still around, he actually preferred to face Qingyao rather than go to the Qi family compound.
This concubine's daughter has been spoiled and has a lot of bad habits.
Not only does he lack magnanimity, he also lacks brains and does all kinds of stupid things that make people laugh and cry.
Fortunately, he has a powerful father who holds him in the palm of his hand.
Naturally, she had to solve the problems she caused herself.
Thinking of his wife and children who were about to return to Beijing, he still felt a little reluctant.
Qingyao is a very smart and introverted person. She is good at managing the household and is filial to her mother.
To be fair, Qingyao is the most suitable and most suitable mistress of the house.
But her mistake was that she was too opinionated, could not tolerate any injustice, and attached too much importance to her parents' home.
He was totally ignored.
No man would be willing to tolerate such a wife.
Moreover, the Lu family had become irreversible, but she refused to give up and insisted that her father was wronged.
She is so stubborn and obstinate that if she continues to be his wife, it will definitely bring trouble to the Jiang family.
Jiang Yunze went to see his mother. After seeing that she had taken the medicine and gone to bed, he went to Taoeryuan.
He still felt most comfortable here with Taoer.
But he still couldn't take off the mask. This guy, after wearing the mask for so long, it seemed like it was welded to his face and he couldn't take it off.
"Brother Yunze, what's going on outside? Are you okay?" Tao Tao had just climbed up from the couch, still wearing a headband on her head, and her head hurt a little.
"It's okay, everything has been handled. If you feel better, go and see your mother. She vomited blood when she fainted. I feel at ease knowing you are by her side." Jiang Yunze gathered her coat.
Tao Tao opened her mouth and swallowed what she wanted to say.
She wanted to refuse, but couldn't open her mouth.
These days, the old lady had given her a lot of trouble, and her knees were swollen from kneeling, but Brother Yunze just applied medicine for her.
The time we spend together gets longer.
She then realized that the old lady was like a stone that could not be warmed up.
When she was still a little girl in Taoxi Village, Old Lady Jiang actually had high hopes for her and treated her well.
Almost everyone in the village knew that she was the future daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.
Later the marriage did not take place, but it was not her fault.
She couldn't just ignore her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.
But now, times have changed. She has married into the Jiang family and given birth to a daughter for Brother Yunze.
But the old lady began to dislike her and regarded her as a thorn in her side.
Even though it was her who served him every day, not Qi Caiwei.
She didn't understand, can filial piety really only be measured by money?
She served the old lady day after day without taking off her clothes, and never got a good look from her. But when Qi gave her a bracelet, she would be happy for a day.
She knew that her status was humble, she could not compare to that of the Shangshu's daughter, and she could not afford any valuable jewelry.
But she was truly filial to the old lady.
But it couldn't earn her forgiveness.
And there was Brother Yunze, who treated her very well and left all the good things to her and her daughter.
But I still feel a little alienated and indifferent.
Especially when it comes to the old lady, he always gives her a perfunctory response.
But every time she saw him smiling at Zishu and teasing the child, she felt soft-hearted and didn't want to make a fuss about it.
Isn't this the day she has always dreamed of?
She asked herself.
Look up at the square sky outside the window.
She hasn't seen her mother and brother for a long time.
Since entering the Jiang family, the only place she could go was the old lady's yard.
Then I just waited for Brother Yunze in this yard.
You can't even set foot in the front yard.
If the family had a meal during any festival, they had to get Qi's permission.
The old lady said it was the rule.
She felt like a bird in a cage.
Or a bird with broken wings.
