Chapter 284: Keep your distance
I saw Qi Caiwei bring out a box of banknotes.
Old Madam Jiang only felt a pain in her heart.
It's like cutting out her flesh.
If she were to say so, he should divorce her immediately.
After the divorce, Lu Qingyao could not take away any of the dowry or the house, so it all belonged to his son.
She stepped forward, grabbed the box containing the banknotes, held it in her arms, and refused to let go.
Looking at his son, he said, "Son, let's divorce Lu Qingyao, and then you don't have to give me the banknote."
Lu Qingyao: ...
Four years.
The old lady's expression hasn't changed at all.
The same stupidity, the same greed for money.
Jiang Yunze frowned, "Mom, I've already signed the divorce agreement. Please give me the box."
Of course he wanted to get the house back without spending a penny.
But in the current situation, they are at a disadvantage, so how can they talk about divorce again?
Twenty-five thousand taels of silver is a bit too much.
But most of the money was paid by Qi Caiwei, as the mother and daughter were more reluctant to leave the house than anyone else.
Speaking of which, Qi Caiwei caused him a lot of trouble.
Letting her pay this little money can be considered as compensation to myself.
Anyway, the thing that the Qi family has the most is money. Even the gifts that her stepmother gave to her granddaughter Jin'er were land deeds and shops.
From now on, this house will be completely owned by the Jiang family.
As for the money, he didn't believe that Lu Qingyao would not leave any of it to her son.
Eventually, I will return to the Jiang family.
Qi Caiwei looked at the old lady speechlessly. This was not her money, so why should she feel bad about it?
Although Lu Qingyao took advantage of the situation, it was not given away for free.
It seems that we are only one step away.
The accounts and property deeds will be available soon, so Lu Qingyao can sign the divorce papers.
But this old hag stopped me.
She took off the gold hairpin jewelry on her head and handed it to her.
"Mother, please give me the banknotes. These are all my gifts to you as a filial piety."
Old Mrs. Jiang naturally refused to give it.
She was greedy for money, but she was not stupid. This little concubine wanted to get rid of her with just a hairpin.
Treat her like a three-year-old child.
Jiang Zijin also stepped forward to persuade her, "Grandma, give us this money and go through the official paperwork. From now on, this house will belong to the Jiang family, and no one can take it away."
Old Madam Jiang was a little shaken.
But she just couldn't understand why he had to spend money when he could divorce his wife.
For the first time, Jiang Miaomiao had a concrete understanding of Old Lady Jiang's greed for money.
Look at the pearls and jade on her head and the jewel rings on her hands. I'm afraid many of them were looted from her mother.
Suddenly I felt that twenty-five thousand taels was too little for this house.
It seems that it is almost noon now.
She tugged at her mother's sleeve and said, "Mom, the house is not for sale anymore. Let's go eat. I'm hungry."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Lu Qingyao took the divorce papers, wrote her name on them neatly, and pressed her fingerprints.
He sighed to the others and said, "If the old lady doesn't want to buy this house, I won't force her. In three days, I'll have the agent come to take possession of the house. I made inquiries before I came. The houses in this area are in high demand, and there are many people who want to buy them."
"As for the items, furniture, and screen ornaments in the house, I had them registered. Don't take anything that doesn't belong to you when you leave. Otherwise, you'll be caught as a thief by the government and it will be embarrassing."
Madam Jiang loosened her grip on the box, her face flushing with anger. "You...you...you vicious woman."
Jiang Yunze snatched the box from her mother's arms and threw it in front of Lu Qingyao. "Leave the accounts and the banknotes with you, leave the Jiang family, and never set foot in this door again. From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other, whether we get married or not. We will not interfere with each other until we die."
Lu Qingyao counted the banknotes and said with a smile, "I couldn't ask for more. Take good care of your woman from now on. Don't bother us again, and don't try to take advantage of my child."
Jiang Yunze was delighted to see her receiving the money.
I felt inexplicably lost.
I remember that when we first met, it was the spring of March and he and his colleagues invited each other to go out for a trip.
He happened to meet Lu Qingyao who was riding a horse and passing by.
He had never seen such a bright and outgoing woman before. She was like the warm sunshine, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.
Other ladies all wore veils when they went out.
She is the only one who doesn't care about other people's eyes and acts independently.
She doesn't fit in with the daughters of wealthy families in the capital.
After further inquiries, he learned that she was actually the daughter of General Zhenbei, and he immediately made up his mind.
I must marry this woman in this life.
Although he approached her on purpose, it is undeniable that they appreciated each other and were attracted to each other at that time.
They also had a sweet time after their marriage.
But Qingyao is the proud daughter of a general. Standing under the sun, she cannot tolerate even a speck of sand in her eyes.
And he is the one who crawled out of the mud.
The more dazzling she is.
The more he was in front of her and the Lu family, the more ashamed he felt.
It made him feel like a clown, a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy from the Lu family.
When something happened to the Lu family, she took it upon herself to lose all her dowry and didn't care about her husband at all.
A Niang and Qi Caiwei framed her, but she refused to say a word in defense of herself.
Even if I asked her to go to Jiangzhou to reflect on her mistakes, she would go without hesitation.
He left so decisively, without any hesitation.
This woman is truly cold-blooded and heartless.
Qi Caiwei suddenly glanced and saw the loneliness in her husband's eyes.
My heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that she was seeing things? Jiang Yunze actually still had feelings for Lu Qingyao?
Jealousy welled up in her heart, and she called out to Lu Qingyao who was about to leave, "Where will my sister live after the divorce? A dilapidated temple or an inn?"
Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu were both a little confused. They looked at each other and didn't quite understand what she meant.
Jiang Miaomiao raised her little face, looking at someone stupid, "You're stupid, my mother is a rich woman, so naturally I can live wherever I want."
This woman must have watched too many plays.
She wouldn't think that women who divorced would have a miserable life.
Others may be like this.
But it doesn't exist for A Niang.
Qi Caiwei: ...
Yes, she almost forgot that this woman was not short of money.
But that wasn't what she wanted to say.
She looked at Jiang Miaomiao meaningfully, "Sister, I just want to remind you that you are still the daughter of a criminal. If you leave the Jiang family, you may not be able to protect yourself. Why bother taking care of two children?"
What does it mean? What is this woman planning?
Little Miaomiao leaned closer to her mother.
"That's okay." Lu Qingyao sighed, "Now that I'm leaving the Jiang family, I think there's no need to bring up some of your old stories. Let's just talk about it openly here."
"What old things? What do you mean?" Qi Caiwei always felt that Lu Qingyao looked at her strangely.
"Let's start with these account books." Lu Qingyao looked at Old Lady Jiang. "Old Madam, I guess you don't know what these things are?"
"These are all evidence that Qi Caiwei used the names of Jiang Yunze and Minister Qi to accept bribes and form a clique for personal gain in Jiangzhou. If this gets out, your son's hard-earned official career will be over..."
"Shut up... Lu Qingyao, stop talking." Qi Caiwei interrupted her.
Her mother-in-law treats her son like the apple of her eye.
Knowing that she almost implicated Jiang Yunze, he must hate her to death.
I'm afraid she will be tortured again in the future.
Lu Qingyao, this vicious woman.
