Chapter 255 A Drama
early morning.
Qi Caiwei wakes up.
A little hesitant.
She couldn't understand why Pei'er was willing to give up everything to become a nun.
How old is he? Does he know what it means to become a monk?
When she saw the letter earlier, she thought Pearl was just blaming her for not saving Aunt Mei.
I'm angry with her.
I didn't expect that he would really become a monk.
How could he become a monk? Doesn’t he know that he is the support of his mother and sister?
How can that be?
Qi Caiwei found it hard to accept this, because he was her only son, her sweetheart.
If I had known this earlier, I would have brought him back even if I had to tie him up.
As soon as Jiang Zijin entered the room, she saw her mother holding her brother's letter and sitting in front of the dressing table wiping her tears.
She pinched herself hard and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
She went forward and hugged her mother, "Mother, my brother doesn't want us, but you still have me."
She was very surprised to hear the news that her brother had become a monk.
My younger brother in the previous life, no matter how untalented or cowardly he was, would never have thought of becoming a monk.
That's what a coward would do.
Forget it. A weak character like my brother cannot support the Jiang family. Perhaps the temple is more suitable for him.
What he wants is to live a miserable life.
My mother is still young, so if things don’t work out, she can always have another child.
Jiang Zijin held her mother's hand and said to her, "Mother, my brother has lived a life of luxury since he was a child. How could he really get used to such a poor life? He is just angry for a moment and will come back on his own in a few days."
Qi Caiwei looked up at her daughter and felt much better after hearing her words.
"That's right. Monks must abide by the rules and regulations. He can't endure such hardship."
Then he picked up the booklet and said, "Jin'er, didn't you say that all the evidence was destroyed? How did it fall into Lu Qingyao's hands and become a handle to threaten us?"
She knew that Jin'er couldn't be blamed for this.
When her child was just a little old, he started to help her solve her problems.
But this matter is of great importance and if not handled properly it may harm my husband and father.
"It's Madam Gong. She must have betrayed us." Jiang Zijin was very sure that there was something wrong with that person.
When returning to the Qi Mansion with A Niang, the mistress specifically asked them where Madam Gong had gone.
Judging from the looks of it, the mistress should be unaware of this.
But even if I am always on guard against Madam Gong, there are bound to be times when I overlook something. It would be a lie to say that I am not worried.
Qi Caiwei grabbed Jiang Zijin's hand and asked nervously, "What should we do? What is she planning? Will she hand over the evidence to the Dali Temple?"
"No, if she wanted to, she would have done it long ago. If she was Lu Qingyao's person, she would definitely not do it. Big brother and second brother are also Daddy's sons. If Daddy falls, what good will it do them?"
The grandson of a traitor and the son of another traitor, what future do these two brothers have?
In this matter, they are all in the same boat, and it will not benefit anyone if the boat capsizes.
Dad knew that Lu Qingyao didn't dare to hand over the evidence, but he still pushed the matter onto grandpa.
It means to play the role of a peacemaker.
"Mother, let's let father and Lu divorce. It's just a loss of some money, which is not a big deal." As long as Mother can be made the legitimate daughter, she will be the legitimate daughter, and finding a good home for her is the important thing.
After hearing Jin'er's analysis, Qi Caiwei felt a little relieved.
As for the evidence, she believed her father would find a way to deal with it.
She looked at the sun and realized that her husband should be leaving court soon. She pulled her daughter up and said, "Jin'er, let's go find your father now."
Jiang Zijin had already asked the maid to guard the door, but she saw that her father did not go to the study or come to her mother's yard.
She said cautiously, "Mother, Dad has gone to Aunt Tao's courtyard."
Seeing Qi Caiwei's expression change drastically, she quickly said, "Grandmother hates Aunt Tao and her son the most. Why don't we go see her? Daddy is the most filial."
"But your grandmother is still blaming me for bringing Tao Tao into the mansion. How could she be so nice to me?"
Qi Caiwei now doesn’t know whether it is right to bring the concubine back home?
Jiang Zijin held A Niang's arm, his eyes falling on the bracelets in her dressing box. "A Niang, you've forgotten that Grandmother loves gold jewelry the most. Didn't you just get a pair of solid gold bracelets inlaid with rubies from a pawnshop the other day? Grandmother must like them very much."
Few people wear this old-fashioned bracelet nowadays, but my grandmother liked it because it was made of gold.
It just suits her taste.
Grandma is actually very easy to please as long as you can cater to her preferences.
But this hobby doesn't come cheap.
Qi Caiwei nodded and ordered someone to find a brocade box to put it in.
This bracelet was originally sent by the pawnshop under her name, and she originally wanted to take it to a jewelry shop to have it altered in style.
Since the old lady likes it, it’s okay to give it to her.
Only by making Tao Tao suffer can we justify the anger she has swallowed.
Besides, her mother had told her to be patient and not to have a direct conflict with her husband.
No matter how her father plays the good guy, she has to play the bad guy.
The mother and daughter carried the brocade box and went to Old Lady Jiang's courtyard.
Sure enough, Old Madam Jiang was very fond of this.
She was originally angry, but after seeing the red gold bracelet in the brocade box, her gloomy face suddenly became happy.
After listening to Qi Caiwei's explanation, he was no longer angry.
"Mother, you are a woman, you must understand your daughter-in-law's difficulties. No woman is willing to share her husband with others. I am forced to do this. My husband is deeply in love with Concubine Tao. If you don't take her back, he will have to stay away from home all day."
"Forget it, just accept it, but I will never acknowledge her." Old Madam Jiang waved her hand.
She has always been brooding over what happened back then and still blames Tao Tao's parents.
Back then, it was Tao Tao's parents who looked down on the Jiang family and their son, and scolded her son for being a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.
Not only the Tao family, but also those scoundrels in Taoxi Village laughed at them and their son.
Now that Tao's father is gone, the family has nowhere to go and is bothering her son again.
But this kid Aze seemed to be drugged and dared to disobey her, which made her so angry that her chest hurt.
Qi Caiwei took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "Mother, I brought Aunt Tao into the mansion to vent your anger. When she was away from home, my husband didn't come home every day, and you couldn't do anything about her. But now it's different..."
Seeing Jiang Mu's face turn from gloomy to bright, I felt happy.
This old woman is very good at acting like a mother-in-law and she also likes to tease her daughter-in-law.
When Lu Qingyao's family fell into poverty, she had been bullied by him a lot.
Madam Jiang suddenly understood and looked at the old servant beside her, "Ask Tao Tao to bring Shu Shu over so I can take a look."
At this time, Tao Tao was persuading Jiang Yunze not to divorce Lu Qingyao.
"Brother Ze, just remember that Mrs. Lu gave birth to your children and the Lu family helped you in the past. Don't divorce her. Just divorce her as she wishes. That way, your two brothers won't resent you when they grow up."
She had seen Lu Qingyao and her son living in Taoxi Village.
Those days were so poor that even she felt pity for them, and then she heard what Lu Qingyao said.
She knew that the man would never return to the Jiang family.
Even if she is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, there is no need to kill her. The Brother Ze she knows is not such a ruthless person.
"Okay, I promise you, Tao'er is kind-hearted." Jiang Yunze touched her hair, and the depression he had felt for the past few days disappeared.
He just likes Taoer's kindness and simplicity of mind.
Unlike the noble ladies in the capital, who are scheming and calculating.
The two were being intimate in the room when they heard someone outside report: The old lady wants to see Aunt Tao.
"I'll go with you." Jiang Yunze was a little worried that his mother would make things difficult for Taoer.
"I...I'd better go by myself. Didn't mother say she wanted to see Shushu?"
Tao Tao was nervous.
But what is coming cannot be avoided.
