Chapter 185 Mei Gu is gone
That night.
Jiang Miaomiao and her family were enjoying the cool air in the yard.
Lu Garden was not brightly lit.
Lights were only lit in the courtyard where people lived.
Because there aren't many people in Lu Garden, my mother doesn't think it's necessary to light up everywhere.
That would consume too much fuel and be a waste.
Mu Qianxue was a little uncomfortable, and felt that it was pitch black all around her, but she adapted to the local customs and gradually got used to it.
Without the illumination of lights, the Milky Way in the night sky becomes even brighter.
The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd are looking at each other from afar...
Mu Jiangyue actually enjoyed such nights. When she and Yaoyao were at the frontier, they would also drink together under the moon.
Build a bonfire, roast rabbits and fish, and steal daddy's wine to drink.
So happy...
But it's not a bad time now.
Several children lit a charcoal fire in the yard and roasted chicken and lamb...
The smell of fireworks lingered in the courtyard.
Everyone was laughing, chasing and playing, it was so lively.
Xiuxiu secretly went to take a look.
The house opposite is brightly lit.
Now Jiang Zijin is passively in charge, and everything else is saved.
But when it came to lighting the lamp, she didn't dare to save money.
It's dark at night and it would be very dangerous if someone sneaked in.
With the lessons learned from the past, it is better to be cautious.
Both mother and daughter felt that someone was trying to murder them.
Apart from the money for lamp oil, Jiang Zijin was very frugal in other aspects and ate a light diet.
In her previous life, she had been fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures for a long time for the deceased Mu Qianxue, and she unknowingly fell in love with vegetarianism.
Now she likes it too.
But occasionally I would still accompany my mother to eat some steamed lamb.
She also persuaded her mother to save on ginseng and bird's nest, saying it was too expensive, and to use white fungus soup instead.
The only biggest expense now is the medicinal materials and cosmetics for my mother's facial treatment.
She had already thought it through: if the scar couldn't be cured, covering it up with makeup would be the same.
As long as it doesn’t affect your social interactions in the future, it’s fine.
She looked through the old accounts and realized that her mother was really stupid to send so little silver to the capital.
When I think about all the money that Dad spent on his concubine and bastard, I feel really sad.
She felt very upset.
From now on, daddy will never get a penny of the money earned by them and their daughter.
Don’t even think about it!
Qi Caiwei leaned on the couch.
She is still a little dazed.
My heart couldn't stop aching, and I let the tears slide down my cheeks.
Didn’t my husband say that he would no longer take concubines, and that from now on she would be the only one for him, and he would grow old with her?
How come he's hooking up with someone else again?
They must have been separated for too long, that's for sure.
As expected, what my mother said was right. Men are all cats that steal fish and must be kept firmly in the palm of my hand.
My husband is no exception.
At that time, I blamed her for being too confident in herself.
Now that her face is ruined, she feels a surge of inferiority in her heart.
She grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Jin'er, will your father dislike me?"
"Mother, you are the daughter of the Qi family. Father doesn't dare to dislike you. It was that concubine who seduced Father. Just go back and drive her away..."
Being from a poor family is so sad, and dad has no right to look down on him.
Qi Caiwei stared at her daughter in amazement.
Jin'er is still so young, yet she already understands all this. This makes her feel a little embarrassed. "It's my mother who is confused..."
"Jin'er, pack your things and leave Jiangzhou as soon as the people your father sends to pick us up arrive."
This time she will go back no matter what.
Jiang Zijin had already packed everything, ready to leave at any time.
"If you want to leave, you can leave. I won't leave." Jiang Zipei, who had just returned from outside, kicked over the stool in front of him.
She questioned her mother, "Mother, are you really going to abandon Aunt Mei like this? Do you still have a conscience? You grew up drinking Aunt Mei's milk."
Jiang Zijin no longer hid.
Whether he is cruel at a young age or scheming deeply, let others say what they want.
He slapped his brother hard in the face.
Although her force was weak, it still left a red mark.
Scolding his brother, "Jiang Zipei, how can you talk to your mother like that? Why are you so stubborn? I told you that you can't be saved. If you want to save her, do it yourself. Who can still pamper you?"
Jiang Zipei was stunned.
He stood there in a daze, his face burning.
Jiang Zijin actually dared to hit him! What right did she have to hit him?
Qi Caiwei also looked at her daughter in surprise. Why was her daughter so fierce?
She is still a little girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage.
The aura of this person made even her heart tremble.
What happened to my daughter?
Is she mad at her father?
Jiang Zipei covered her face, her face flushed with anger, and glared at Jiang Zijin, "Vicious woman, I don't have a sister like you, what kind of sister are you!"
"Pei'er, how can you say such things?" Qi Caiwei pulled her son over, looked at the marks on her face, and gently advised: "Jin'er is doing this for our own good. Look at how hard she has worked recently. It's all because of your useless mother..."
As he spoke, he wiped away his tears.
The son is the most soft-hearted. As soon as she cries, he will stop making a fuss.
Jiang Zipei couldn't bear it either, so he suppressed his anger and took Qi Caiwei's hand.
"Mom, please don't go back yet, okay? The Tongkat Ali exam is coming up soon. If I miss it on my way back to Beijing, I'll have to wait another year..."
A Niang and Mei Gu both attached great importance to his imperial examination. Even if he could not rescue Mei Gu, he had to take the test.
Anyway, I can't leave now.
If they left, Mei Gu would be heartbroken when she couldn't see them on the day she left Jiangzhou.
Qi Caiwei has been so busy with trivial matters lately that she almost forgot about her son's imperial examination.
Yes, I will take the test soon.
I can't let my son's future be ruined because of her fault.
He made a prompt decision and said, "Okay, Pei'er, then wait until you finish your child's exam before going back. During this time, you should focus on preparing for the exam and don't think about anything else."
"As for Aunt Mei... I'll try my best to think of another way..."
My son is simple-minded and easy to deceive.
Just fool it first.
Jiang Zipei looked at her mother suspiciously, "Really?"
"How could your mother lie to you? Study hard and don't be distracted." Qi Caiwei straightened his clothes and acted like a loving mother.
Jiang Zipei smiled and returned to the study happily.
Jiang Zijin's face was darker than the bottom of a pot.
She finally persuaded her mother to leave quickly, but her brother interfered again.
Seeing how decadent Jiang Zipei had been these days, she really didn't believe that this idiot could make the list.
It would cost her a lot of money to rent this house.
Moreover, they had completely lost face in Jiangzhou and were too embarrassed to go out.
If possible, she would like to leave her mother and brother behind and go back by herself.
Seven days later.
Aunt Mei is gone.
Died in exile.
He had only walked a few dozen miles from Jiangzhou when he jumped off a cliff and died.
The day I left the city.
She looked around among the crowd of people who were seeing her off as she left the city, but only saw Pei Ge'er.
The child had lost a lot of weight and was crying very sadly.
It must be that the lady didn't take good care of him.
She knew that the lady and the third girl would not come.
It was July, but she felt cold all over.
I felt cold to my heart.
She loves her three children as if they were her own.
She didn't expect the lady to come to rescue her. As master and servant, she just wanted to take a look at them before leaving.
Just a glance.
It is ultimately a luxury.
She is old and has no worries in her heart now. She cannot bear the pain of exile.
She was smiling, handcuffed, and stumbling.
Running madly towards the cliff...
