Chapter 457: To no avail
Jiang Cheng wanted to pour a cup of tea for Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu, but she couldn't find a teacup anywhere. Finally, she took out two broken bowls and poured water for them.
"Okay, all is well."
Jiang Lianzhu glanced at Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang, who were huddled in the corner and shivering. "Okay, so what were they doing just now?"
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang were extremely frightened. They felt that they had shrunk out of Jiang Lianzhu's attack range, so they immediately got up and rushed outside, running away first.
They were afraid that Jiang Lianzhu would get angry and come out to beat them up again.
Jiang Cheng was embarrassed and tried to change the subject. "Your two brothers are useless, but they're not bad at heart. Tell me about what's going on in the capital. How are Dabao, Erbao, and Nanbao? Are they all okay?"
Let's change the subject first.
Jiang Lianzhu briefly told Jiang Cheng about the situation in the capital.
Jiang Cheng was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out. "What did you say? Dabao is actually Prince Xiaoxiang? A descendant of the royal Xuan family?"
"Yes, thanks to Governor Liao for rehabilitating Dabao and his children..."
Jiang Chengshi was totally surprised. "That's really the blessing of the Bodhisattva. Thank God."
After saying this, Jiang Lianzhu lowered her voice and said, "Mother, I have something important to tell you. Do you still remember that old sister you made friends with, Aunt Cheng?"
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile. "Of course I remember. Is it okay for Madam Cheng to go to the capital with you?"
Jiang Lianzhu winked at Liao Jiu.
Liao Jiu understood and went to the door to keep an eye on people.
Then, Jiang Lianzhu whispered in Jiang Cheng's ear, "Mother, don't tell anyone what I'm going to tell you next. This Madam Cheng and you..."
She explained in detail the identity of Nanny Cheng and her relationship with Jiang Cheng, as well as the previous events and consequences.
Jiang Chengshi is actually a person who can keep secrets.
Judging from the fact that she was able to keep Jiang Lianzhu's background a secret, even Jiang Qingcai and others didn't know that Jiang Lianzhu was not his biological daughter, Jiang Chengshi is not a gossipy person.
You can tell her about Nanny Cheng. She does have the right to know.
Although Nanny Cheng told her not to tell anyone for fear of implicating them.
However, Nanny Cheng was also a good person. She deserved to be remembered instead of dying in silence.
Such a good person, she should be missed.
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng burst into tears like a flood.
Choking with sobs, he said, "How could I be so stupid? I didn't recognize her at the time. I didn't even recognize her... where are her... ashes?"
Jiang Lianzhu took out a sealed small jar and said, "Here. I want to take her back to her hometown to bury her. What do you think?"
Jiang Cheng cried, "It's time to come back for the burial. I can still visit her every now and then. The burial is far away, and I can't go to burn incense. She's too lonely out there alone. You did a good job... She has protected me since I was a child. After I grew up, I often thought of her. From now on, okay, we two sisters will never be separated..."
"Mom, you can't tell anyone about this. Just keep it in your heart. That's her last advice."
"I know." Jiang Cheng agreed.
She was not very smart. Both Jiang Lianzhu and Nanny Cheng were smarter than her. She did whatever they told her to do.
"Then where should the ashes be buried? Mother, where is your old home?"
Jiang Cheng replied, "There's no one left in her old home. Her parents and brothers are separated. She'd be buried alone if she were buried there. Why not bury her in Wuli Town? It's close to me, so I can stay with her and visit her often. When I die, I'll be buried with her and accompany her."
Jiang Lianzhu thought about it and said, "That's fine."
That’s settled.
Jiang Lianzhu took out the several hundred taels of silver and jewelry that Madam Cheng had left for Jiang Chengshi and handed them to her. "These are Madam Cheng's inheritance. She said she would leave them for you."
Jiang Cheng cried even more sadly.
"Okay, mother, please take care of yourself."
Jiang Cheng pushed the things back into Jiang Lianzhu's hands and said, "Please keep them for me for now. I can't keep them, and they will all be taken away by others. When your two brothers grow up and need money to marry, I will come to you to get them back. I have already spent all the money you gave me last time."
Jiang Lianzhu was filled with murderous intent, "Mom, I'm going to beat them up again!"
Jiang Cheng hurriedly pulled her back and said, "That's enough, that's enough. It's enough that you taught them a lesson today. Beating them alone won't work. They have to wake up on their own. I believe they will wake up sooner or later."
Jiang Lianzhu felt a headache. "How old are they? Did they wake up on their own? Look at Jiang Qingcai, he's already old. Has he woken up?"
Jiang Cheng shed tears again, "Zhu'er, why don't you take a look at his leg injury? He's paralyzed in bed every day, which is really pitiful. I'm also very tired of taking care of him every day."
Jiang Lianzhu interrupted her directly, "Don't even think about it. I wouldn't treat Jiang Qingcai if I were to treat anyone else. Paralysis is his fate. It's retribution. He deserves it!"
Jiang Cheng didn't dare to say anything more.
Just sighed heavily.
It seems impossible for Jiang Lianzhu to reconcile with the Jiang family in this lifetime.
Yes, Jiang Qingcai and his men went too far in the past.
Jiang Lianzhu continued, "Mother, you don't have to worry about him anymore. Come back to the capital with us. You gave them a chance, but did they cherish it? They'll torture you just the same..."
Jiang Chengshi shook her head unwillingly, "Zhu'er, I appreciate your filial piety, but I still can't let them go like this. I can't do it. Don't worry about me, I'm fine, and you don't have to give me money. Dalang and Erlang are gamblers. No matter how much you give me, I'll give it all away. I'll just endure like this and see when they will grow up. As long as they don't let me die of exhaustion, I will wait forever. I can do some embroidery to exchange for some rice every day. I won't starve to death. Don't worry about me..."
No matter how much Jiang Lianzhu said, it was of no use to Jiang Cheng's stubbornness.
Jiang Lianzhu had no choice but to give up.
Everyone has their own aspirations.
She respects her ideas.
"I'll put the money in Wangjia Village. If you really need it in the future, you can ask Erya and the others who live in my house in Wangjia Village for it. If you really can't make ends meet, just write to me. I'll tell you my address."
A few instructions and warnings.
Jiang Cheng wrote them all down.
As long as she is not allowed to leave with Jiang Lianzhu, she is willing to do anything and will remember everything.
There's no way to force it.
***
Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu finished handling the affairs of Shili Town that day.
That night, he rode the golden eagle back.
After returning home, I made it in time for dinner.
The golden eagle's speed is more than twice as fast as before.
And flying is easy and not tiring.
