Chapter 409: Golden Avenue
Jiang's face turned red with anger, and the hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly, and said, "Do you think you have paved a golden road for your son? Old lady, your son's official career was indeed smooth before, but his heart is... I have always been worried and worried that the evil things you have done will be revealed. He is your son, but you don't understand him. Come down. You said it all for your son's sake. In fact, you did it for yourself and for you to live a good life. You didn't hesitate to ruin Wang Juanniang, and you didn't hesitate to bring a bad name to your son. You even wanted to ruin it for your own granddaughter. Yes... Indeed, marrying your son is the greatest blessing in my life. I am very happy that your husband is talented, handsome and has a noble character. However, I hope that he can live a happy and relaxed life without so much helplessness in his heart. And last resort. If he lived a happy life, I would rather I didn't marry her. Now, he is suspended from his job and may even face jail time, but he is still unwilling to say that you did the evil things, but he actually took it on himself... …He, he is so stupid!”
As he said this, Jiang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and started crying.
When the old lady heard that her son was going to jail for taking the blame for her, she was so frightened that she trembled a little. He shouted, "Those things were caused by that dead girl Chen Afu. She hated me and our family, so she took her anger out on my son and brought out the old things of the past ten years. She wanted to destroy them." It’s Wang Juanniang who is the scourge of our family. How could she secretly have an affair with my son and create such an unfilial son? She’s harming my grandmother and my father..."
Mrs. Jiang wiped away her tears and shouted, "Old lady, please be polite when you speak. Wang Juan is your son's wife. It is a gift of human relations for them to have children. It is not as dirty as you said. It will destroy our family." It's you, old lady, don't blame others. Nowadays, Fu'er and the eldest son-in-law are doing favors, hoping to help your son clear his name, but you still insult her like this! Fu'er, your son, and our family are completely ruined."
The old lady became even more frightened. She straightened up suddenly, her cloudy eyes widened, and shouted, "That damn girl helped my son get rid of the charges. She won't take the opportunity to push me out to jail, right? That won't work, you go." Tell her that she will not only rescue my son intact, but also not push me out. If she dares to break her conscience and murder her own grandmother, God will not let her go. "
Jiang had never seen such a selfish mother. Whenever her son is in trouble, the mother's first reaction should be to sacrifice herself to save her son. But for this mother, her son admitted her sin out of filial piety, but what she wanted to protect most was herself. She scolded Chen Afu and her daughter so badly, yet she still felt so confident in wanting Chen Afu to save her.
Jiang didn't want to talk to the old lady anymore, even looking at her made her feel sick. This person is her mother-in-law after all, and it shouldn't be her who takes care of her. She shook her head and said in a deep voice, "God didn't even take it from you. It didn't have eyes at all. However, people always have eyes. Old lady, it's not that you don't want to repay it. The time has not yet come." Then she turned and walked out.
Chen Yuhui followed Jiang out and cried, "Mom, if something happens to my father, will my marriage with the He family change? If so, what should I do?"
Jiang turned around and said coldly, "What should you do? How do I know? You were the one who jumped into the lake, and you were the one who led the man to save you." Seeing Chen Yuhui's face, she looked like an old lady. Jiang frowned, and then said, "Go back to your own courtyard and copy the "Girls' Commandments" fifty times. Don't come out again, and don't come out to cause trouble again."
When Chen Yuhui saw Jiang's cold gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and walked quickly towards his yard.
She felt like the sky was falling. She was sixteen years old at the end of the year. If something happened to her father and the He family regretted their marriage again, what good family would want her, a woman who regretted her marriage twice?
It's Chen Afu's despicable and Jiang's vicious people who plotted their own good marriage and put themselves in this embarrassing situation... Grandma is right, God has eyes and will not let her go, and her.
Jiang asked someone to find out who had given the news to Chen Yuhui. It was soon discovered that it was a woman who took five taels of silver from Chen Yuhui and told her the news he heard on the streets. Jiang originally wanted someone to beat the woman half to death and sell her, but thinking about her husband's uncertain future, she felt that she should be blessed for him, so she sold her directly.
The days of waiting are the longest. The Chen family closed its door tightly, and the whole family lived in anxiety.
Chu Lingxuan came back seven days later, that is, on the 23rd of the winter lunar month.
Chen Afu has finished washing up and is about to lead Brother Yu and Brother Ming into the space. The two children also knew that their mother would take them to the most comfortable place at this time to play with their favorite brother Jinbao and their favorite sister Jinbei. They all said "ah, oh, uh" to Chen Afu. Shouting.
Suddenly I heard the voice of the girl in the yard, "Uncle is back."
Chen Afu was overjoyed and rushed out to greet him. Chu Lingxuan had already strode in.
Chu Lingxuan lost weight, and the green stubble on his lips also grew. His face was ashen, and he looked like he was working day and night. Chen Afu felt very distressed. Since Chen Shiying's accident, he had been running outside almost every day.
She personally took off Chu Lingxuan's coat, and he went to the clean room to take a bath.
Chen Afu wanted to go to the small kitchen to make the chicken sauce wontons that Chu Lingxuan liked, but the two children cried out of grievance, so Chen Afu had to hold them and feed them again.
After coaxing the children, Chen Afu sent the maid away and wiped Chu Lingxuan's hair.
Chu Lingxuan told the story of Chen Shiying. Because Chen Shiying was the biological father of Xiaoyi's adoptive mother, he was talented and had made great contributions to the court, and the emperor didn't want to punish him from the bottom of his heart.
But many censors and officials impeached him, and Chen Shiying's real handle forced the emperor to suspend him. Because there was no conviction, and there were memorials from Luo Xunfu to protect him, and many important officials to protect him, Chen Shiying was not detained, but was placed under house arrest in a small courtyard, guarded by the Imperial Guards. There was food and drink, and he could also go out for a walk.
Among the five charges against Chen Shiying, the third charge of "allowing the Zhao clan members to bully the neighbors" has been proven to have nothing to do with him, and he also returned the land occupied by the Zhao clan members in a just manner.
The first charge of "divorcing his wife after passing the imperial examination and remarrying" was not established because when he married, Wang had already married someone else for the sake of her unborn child. And "divorcing his wife" was also proven to be done by Chen's mother, and Chen Shiying was not aware of it.
