Chapter 80 Return to Jiangzhou
Capital city.
The rear house of Jiang Mansion, Xilan Courtyard.
There was a sound of something being smashed.
The cries of women and children could be heard.
Two children, a boy and a girl, hugged Jiang Yunze's legs, one on each side, crying and snotting.
"Daddy, this is all our fault. Please don't be angry with Mom. We are scared!"
Jiang Yunze was pulled by the two children and couldn't move, and he immediately became furious.
He yelled at the maids and servants, "Are you all dead? Hurry up and take the young lady and the young master away!"
Then he looked at Qi Caiwei, "And you, you always use the child as a shield, are you still worthy of being a mother?"
Qi Caiwei sat aside, lowering her head and wiping away tears. "Why are you so angry at me? It must be those imperial censors who are gossiping about me. How can I just listen to their one-sided story?"
She didn't expect that the news from that place, which was so far away, would be reported back so quickly.
It must be that little bitch who hangs around the door all day.
She had someone investigate and found out that the bitch was indeed Jiang Yunze's childhood sweetheart, but she was separated from him by the Tao couple and married into another wealthy family.
And now, that bitch is married, but she is just a middle-aged woman.
And she is a rustic and vulgar country woman.
Jiang Yunze would not look down on her. Instead, he should hate her family even more.
Why not... let her take the blame...
Thinking this, Qi Caiwei hugged Jiang Yunze and begged, "My husband, I really didn't mean to harm my sister and the children. It must be that Master Tao who took the opportunity to take revenge. It must be Madam Tao who reported it to the censor. You have to believe me!"
Jiang Yunze's heart trembled, and he looked at Qi Caiwei, "What Madam Tao?"
"It's Tao Tao from Taoxi Village, Madam Tao!" Qi Caiwei said as she observed the changes in his facial expression.
"Her father, in collusion with the kidnappers, abducted Feng'er and Wu Yatou, and was detained by the county magistrate. They then tried to pin the blame on me. Now that the matter has been exposed, they and their family want to drag you into this as well..."
"He came to the mansion a few days ago to threaten me, and I refused to help. I'm afraid he went to find the censor later..."
Seeing Jiang Yunze gritting his teeth, his expression became even uglier.
She knew her words had worked.
At this moment, he probably hates the Tao family and Tao Tao to the core.
Even if that woman were standing in front of Jiang Yunze now and told him everything, she probably wouldn't believe it.
But she miscalculated...
Jiang Yunze, a poor scholar from a remote village, was able to sit in his current position and marry women from wealthy families as his wives and concubines.
How can you be fooled with just a few words!
He collected his thoughts and put away his angry expression, putting on a gentle and affectionate look. He pulled Qi Caiwei to sit beside him and put his hands on her shoulders.
"Wei'er, I was just too anxious. You should have heard the news of my demotion. I was just upset and couldn't get over it, so I got angry at you. Do you blame me?"
Seeing that her husband had returned to his usual gentle and elegant self, Qi Caiwei's anger subsided for the most part.
She looked at Jiang Yunze with tears in her eyes and said coquettishly, "Wei'er doesn't blame you, but how can we calm down this storm right now? Does my husband have any ideas?"
She didn't want to be pointed at by others every time she went out.
"There is a way, but I'm sorry to have to put you in an awkward position..." Jiang Yunze said lightly.
"My dear, you said that as long as His Majesty can reuse you, I will do anything for you."
Things have come to this, and as long as it doesn't alienate them as a couple, she is still willing to do what she can.
Jiang Yunze held her hand and said, "Wei'er, go back to your hometown in Jiangzhou for a while and come back after the storm has subsided..."
"What?" Qi Caiwei jumped up in shock. "Husband, tell me again, where do you want me to go?"
"Jiangzhou, Qingshi Town... You can stay there for a while. If you can get Qingyao and your cousin to write a personal letter proving that the censor's impeachment is false, that would be the best..."
It was announced to the public that his concubine Qi Caiwei was punished by being sent to his hometown in Jiangzhou to reflect on her mistakes.
It can be considered as treating everyone equally.
It can not only shut up the gossips of the people, but also avoid offending the Qi family.
His official reputation can still be preserved to some extent...
"I won't go!" Qi Caiwei was so angry that she jumped up and down, looking at Jiang Yunze in disbelief.
"Jiang Yunze, are you crazy? You actually want me to go to that remote and desolate place!"
That’s Qingshi Town!
That bitch Lu Qingyao and those brats are all there, how can she go?
Isn't it about getting close to her and asking her for revenge?
Jiang Yunze actually wanted her to ask for a handwritten letter.
Crazy, must be crazy!
Jiang Yunze had a sad face. "Wei'er, you have to understand your husband and consider my reputation. You don't want to be known as a vicious woman, and you don't want to delay the marriages of your children, do you?"
There was a moment of silence.
"I'm not going!"
Qi Caiwei shook her hands and sat back on the couch with a pout.
She would rather die than go.
She had heard from those who had returned about where the Jiang family was and what kind of family they were.
It was a place so poor that no one could even lay eggs.
How could she, a lady from a famous family in Beijing, go to such a place?
As for the two children, with their biological grandfather around, they have no worries about not having a good marriage.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunze decided to change his approach.
She held Qi Caiwei's waist and said softly, "Wei'er, our family can't compare to those dukes, marquises, and earls who have titles to inherit..."
This really touched Qi Caiwei's sore spot.
Not only did she not inherit the title, but her child was also born out of wedlock.
She is unwilling to accept it!
We cannot let our children be inferior to others like ourselves.
Concubine!
After all, she is still a concubine.
Unless... unless she becomes the second wife and is made the first wife...
Seeing her wavering, Jiang Yunze continued to add fuel to the fire, "Yan'er and Pei'er are the same age, and Yan'er has already passed the examination to become a Tongsheng... As for Pei'er, it's time to find a famous teacher to teach him, so that he can pass the imperial examination in the future..."
Hearing the two words "Yan'er".
Qi Caiwei felt unwell and her face darkened.
This kid Jiang Ziyan actually passed the examination to become a Tongsheng student at the age of seven, leaving her Pei'er far behind.
How can I make her not angry?
A smile appeared on Jiang Yunze's lips.
Yan'er's talent is so great that even his father feels inferior to him, but Qi Caiwei insists on comparing Pei'er with him.
Naturally, he hoped that all the children in his family would study under famous teachers, pass the imperial examinations, and bring honor to the family.
But among the three sons, Pei'er's talent is surprisingly poor, even worse than Feng'er.
If he couldn't become a disciple of Master Cui, he could only enter Donglin Academy.
Of course, he would not say this to Qi Caiwei.
He just said: "Wei'er, I heard that the former Grand Tutor Mr. Cui has retired and returned to his hometown, and he is returning to Qingshi Town in Jiangzhou. On this trip, you should take Pei'er to visit him."
Jiang Yunze didn't need to say the rest.
Qi Caiwei also understood.
She never dreamed that she would be fooled by her husband so easily.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, I'll go!"
