Chapter 281 Return to the Jiang Family
Jiang Yunze was wearing a crimson official uniform, and the room was empty.
But very personable.
But his face was very haggard.
He glanced at Lu Qingyao and her son calmly, and said calmly, "Let's go in and talk."
Then he went straight into the yard.
He summoned everyone in the family to the hall.
The divorce between the head of a family and his mistress is a major event that requires witnesses. Originally, the elders of the clan should be invited, but the situation of the Jiang family is special.
The Jiang family fled south during the war in the previous dynasty, and some died or scattered, leaving only my grandfather and his brothers. Now, only my cousin and Uncle Fu's family are left.
Because of what my mother did to my cousin, only superficial peace is maintained now.
At least that's what Jiang Yunze thought.
After all, my cousin also accepted the dowry gift for my niece.
I heard that Lu Qingyao had a good relationship with them. Since she was the one who proposed the divorce, he didn't have to worry about the tribe members.
After signing the divorce agreement, they submitted it to the government and changed their household registration.
There is no need to blame the tribe members.
It was the first time Lu Qingyao had returned to the Jiang family in three years, and she was still a little hesitant.
It’s ridiculous to think about it. This house was clearly the dowry given to her by her parents, but now that she is here, it feels like she is in someone else’s house.
As expected, no matter how nice the house is, it is not home without family.
At that time, Jiang Yunze, relying on his salary and selling calligraphy and paintings, saved up a few hundred taels over the years and rented a decent small house in the city.
With his age and talent, he is already outstanding among the poor students of the same period.
The future is limitless.
Because he was born with a good appearance, he was very popular at the time.
After all, everyone likes to see beautiful things, especially energetic and handsome young men, so it has also caused a lot of gossip and trouble.
Now that she thought about it, there must have been a reason why Jiang Yunze approached her and the Lu family.
Her father, who was the General of Zhenbei, was very protective of her daughter and was eager to get rid of the reputation of being a soldier and a fool. He always wanted to find a family of scholars for her.
But the family of the civil official, who was a good match for hers, looked down on hers.
Now that he has met a handsome and talented young man like Jiang Yunze, who is also his daughter's favorite, the father will also love him as well.
People who practice martial arts are not particular about trivial matters and do not have such a strong sense of family background. They treat their son-in-law like their own son.
But she and her father never imagined that Jiang Yunze was hypocritical and greedy, and not the handsome young man they saw.
Feng'er was only two years old when this man contrived to marry Qi Caiwei into his family, giving him the support of the Qi family.
What's funny is that Jiang Yunze clearly hated this woman from the bottom of his heart, but for the sake of power, fame and fortune, he still went to great lengths to marry her.
I don't know whether to say he is patient and tolerant or insidious and cunning.
After Lu Qingyao saw everything clearly, she felt relieved.
Looking around, she found that the house had not changed much and was still the same as when she left.
After all, she had spent a lot of time and money to decorate this courtyard. Even if the family didn't like it, they were reluctant to rebuild it.
She looked at the courtyard. For some reason, the courtyard that she had decorated according to her own preferences in the past now seemed boring to her.
Maybe this wasn't what she originally liked, but she was still young at that time and didn't understand what true love was, so she just followed the trend.
But even if we take back this house now, the children probably won’t like to live there.
Not the way they like it.
Jiang Miaomiao looked around the garden, but she couldn't see any trace of her mother at all.
A Niang likes large flat grasslands and big fish ponds.
You can raise animals, grow vegetables, barbecue, ride horses, play Cuju, go boating on the lake and fish. It's not just a beautiful garden with winding paths.
There's nothing to do here anyway.
The house in Jiangzhou is better than their current house.
In the Jiang family hall.
The whole family sat there neatly.
In addition to the two brothers who were unable to attend, there were also Jiang Zipei who was far away in Jiangzhou and Jiang Zifeng who had already gone to war.
Even the youngest Jiang Zishu was carried out.
Jiang Miaomiao looked at her.
It was a small creature, with dark eyes rolling around as it looked around curiously.
The chubby little hands and feet were waving vigorously, and he was babbling.
It seems like he wants to get down to the ground.
But Tao Tao held her little daughter tightly, coaxed her with a stuffed doll, and refused to let her go to the ground.
The little baby was still a little unhappy holding the doll, with a pouty mouth, struggling in her mother's arms.
Tao Tao had no choice.
From time to time, he would look up and glance at Old Mrs. Jiang.
Originally, she shouldn't have come and didn't want to come. She just wanted to take care of her daughter quietly in the backyard.
I don't want to bother with these trivial matters.
Because she now understands that as long as Old Lady Jiang and Qi Caiwei are around.
She has no say in this family.
Whether they divorce or not, she will never be the mistress of the Jiang family.
But Old Mrs. Jiang insisted on letting her come.
Tao Tao knew clearly that the old lady just wanted to use Lu's divorce to warn her.
I want her to see how miserable it is for a woman to be despised by her husband's family.
How miserable...
It wasn't like she hadn't seen it in Taoxi Village.
With dilapidated houses and furniture, the daughter of a wealthy family became a peasant woman.
She must be sick to like seeing people in misery.
But now she saw that he was not that miserable. Instead, he looked rosy-cheeked and full of energy.
Especially the little girl next to Lu Qingyao, she didn't look like she came from the countryside at all, but rather like a daughter raised in an aristocratic family.
I'm afraid it will be a terrible thing in the future.
There are also Lu Qingyao's two sons, who are already scholars at a young age.
Scholar!
Her deceased father took exams for most of his life, but he was still just a student.
How can this be called miserable? It's just something that makes people extremely envious.
Lu Qingyao walked into the room and didn't care whether Old Lady Jiang was upset or not. She just found a place to sit down with her child.
There is no formality or anything like that.
Before Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Yunze could speak, Qi Caiwei said, "Lu, you haven't even left the Jiang family yet, and you're so disrespectful to your elders and your husband. Do you even have your mother-in-law in your eyes?"
Lu Qingyao raised her eyebrows. "Yes, I haven't left the Jiang family yet. A concubine is also a concubine. Shouldn't you and Sister Jin bow to us?"
In front of Tao Tao, Qi Caiwei felt a little embarrassed.
She usually regards herself as the legal wife.
She was so embarrassed that she said angrily, "Lu Qingyao, who do you think you are? A girl from the general's mansion? You are the daughter of a criminal. What right do you have to tell me what to do? Without the Jiang family, you are nothing but a despised abandoned woman."
Lu Qingyao laughed: "Oh! So you mean you don't want me to divorce and continue to be the mistress of your Jiang family?"
Qi Caiwei was speechless, regretting what she had just said. She shut her mouth and endured it.
Jiang Zijin pulled her mother, speechless.
The purpose today is to make Lu Qingyao leave the Jiang family completely.
But her mother couldn't help but talk nonsense again.
Tao Tao wanted to laugh, but didn't dare show it on her face.
This is the first time I see Qi Caiwei being humiliated in front of others. Lu Qingyao is really amazing!
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Lu Qingyao. She was not as destitute as she had imagined. Instead, she looked brighter and a little depressed.
She didn't like this daughter-in-law from the beginning. She never said a word to her and was reluctant to show her filial piety. She was extremely stingy.
Jin Yuan didn't point to Lu Qingyao to salute her, but he was still waiting for his grandchildren to salute him.
After all, he is her son's flesh and blood. Even if he is not close to her, he is still her grandson.
As a result, the two little bastards simply ignored her existence and didn't even know how to call out to her.
Old Mrs. Jiang's face turned green with anger. She blamed her son, "Aze, look at the good son and daughter you raised. Do you still have any rules?"
Jiang Yunze couldn't bear to make his mother angry. He looked at the mother and her two children and scolded them, "Qingyao, how have you taught your child all these years? Don't you even want to acknowledge your biological father and grandmother? How can such an unfilial person become an official in the future?"
