Chapter 476 What a pity!
Lu Mingxi gave a playful smile.
There was no rush, so he just dragged a small stool and sat down, ready to have a good talk with Jiang Yunze.
Although he had been to Jiangzhou several times, this was his first time to Taoxi Village.
When he saw the dilapidated house with his own eyes, he was shocked. It was even worse than the house they lived in in exile.
At least there are no holes in their roof and there are still many strong laborers in the family.
As for my aunt, she was a woman with three children living in this shabby house. I don’t know how she managed to survive.
This bastard Jiang Yunze deserves to die!
He suppressed his urge to kick him: "Don't you know how much of a bastard you are? The suffering you've endured now is nothing compared to what your aunt and cousin went through back then, and you still have the nerve to call him your son."
"Then... can you blame me?"
Jiang Yunze had a dark face and clenched his back teeth tightly.
Staring at Lu Mingxi.
Lu Mingxi pretended not to see anything and told Jiang Yunze everything his cousin Jiang had told him, word for word.
"I don't blame you, but who else can I blame? You know what's going on in your head. I thought you must be very curious about the news in the capital..."
"What a coincidence! I received a letter from Brother Yan yesterday. I have good news for you. Brother Feng is back, and the new emperor has appointed him the commander of the Palace Guard. This position means he can see the emperor every day. I'm really envious of him. Are you envious? I heard that it was difficult for you to see the emperor before."
Jiang Yunze's face looked extremely ugly.
"As for Brother Yan, that's also great news. Brother Yan passed the imperial examination..." Lu Mingxi became excited as she spoke, her eyebrows dancing with joy. "Three top prizes, do you know what that means? Brother Yan passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer. He got directly into the Hanlin Academy."
He raised his eyes with contempt and looked at Jiang Yunze with a hint of disdain.
"I remember that you relied on my aunt and my grandfather to barely get a job as a director of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing. My two cousins are more successful than you."
Jiang Yunze, who was originally gritting his teeth in anger, now revealed a hint of pride: "No matter how successful he is, he is still my son. He will bring honor to my Jiang family."
Lu Mingxi smiled and said, "Haha, that's not necessarily true."
"What's the meaning?"
"That's another thing I want to tell you. The two brothers have already asked the Emperor for permission to leave the Jiang family. From now on, no matter what honor or disgrace they have, they will have nothing to do with the Jiang family. They are now surnamed Lu, and it is my Lu family that is honored. As for your son, you still have one, but I heard he shaved his head and became a monk."
After Lu Mingxi said this, he felt so relieved.
I felt refreshed and all the fatigue from traveling for days disappeared.
"Impossible, they can't leave the Jiang family, they can't..."
No matter how much he hated them, they were still his two most promising children, and he still hoped Feng'er would come to see him.
Jiang Yunze's chest heaved violently, his face flushed red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"Hurry, find a doctor for him and put it on his bill." Lu Mingxi took several steps back for fear of being blackmailed.
He took the IOU and ran away quickly.
It's just a small thing and it's already too much. He will suffer in the future.
Lu Mingxi had just left.
The villagers actually invited a doctor.
Jiang Yunhu, Liu Yu Niang and the village head Fu Shu and his family also came.
Old Mrs. Jiang didn't dare to say a word. She had been mean to Jiang Yunhu in the past, and she and Jiang Yunhu's mother were even more incompatible. They had often quarreled, argued, and even fought over food and wild vegetables.
Looking at Jiang Yunhu's leg again, although it is no longer lame, she is still scared when she sees it.
She was afraid that this boy would take revenge on her.
There is also Jiang Fu, the clan leader and head of Taoxi Village. She also withheld the money that Zeger asked her to send back to build the ancestral temple.
I once thought that I would never see him again for the rest of my life and would never have any contact with him until I died.
Now it was all before her eyes.
She felt guilty, scared, and panicked!!
How will these people retaliate against her?
Jiang Yunhu has always been a man of few words, and he has nothing to say to this aunt who broke his leg.
Even questioning her felt like a waste of time.
Perhaps his anger had long been soothed by the present life, and the trauma of their family had also been healed by his younger siblings and nephews.
Even though the two brothers no longer have the surname Jiang, they are still blood relatives in his heart.
Whether the mother and child in front of him lived or died had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Yunhu glanced at the person who had just opened his eyes on the bed: "You...take care of yourself."
After saying that, he turned away.
"elder brother……"
Jiang Yunze opened his mouth, but all the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.
He wanted to say sorry to this cousin who grew up with him. He didn't know about the broken leg and it was not his intention.
But when I saw my mother standing in front of the bed.
He couldn't say it.
Jiang Yunhu didn't want to talk, but Liu Yu Niang had a lot to say and got angry whenever she thought about what happened back then.
Full of resentment.
She pinched her waist, pointed at the two of them and started scolding them, from Jiang Yunze's ungratefulness to his harsh treatment of his wife and children. She told them everything that Lu Qingyao had experienced here, including paying off his debts, her children being kidnapped, and being harassed by his concubine.
She scolded them both harshly for the entire afternoon, until her mouth was dry.
Unable to curse anymore, he sat on the chair and glared at the two of them.
"I say you two are like dead pigs that are not afraid of boiling water. It's useless to say more. I'm too lazy to scold you. Just let yourselves die."
Liu Yu Niang patted her butt and prepared to leave, but she still felt unsatisfied, so she walked a few steps and turned back.
Pointing to the big blue brick and tile house next door, he said, "See? That's Qingyao's house. Don't even think about taking the fruits and vegetables on the wall. I have a dog, so don't expect me to sympathize with you. I won't give you any of those fruits and vegetables, even if they rot on the ground."
After saying this, he walked away.
This really made Jiang Yunze and his mother very angry.
They thought that the house next door belonged to a wealthy family that moved in from somewhere.
Actually...
It turned out to be Lu Qingyao's.
The house is empty, but they are forced to live in this rubbish. How hateful!
Before the two of them could come to their senses, Uncle Fu spoke up, "Brother Ze, how could you be so blind? You lost such a good wife and son. If you hadn't treated them badly, the two children would have brought honor to the family. The Jiang family might have become one of the most powerful families in Jiangzhou. With such a capable wife and such good children, so many people would envy you. What a pity!"
“What a pity!”
Uncle Fu sighed deeply.
The glory that should have belonged to their Jiang family was ruined by this kid.
