Chapter 101 The Old Lady's Fake Illness Becomes Real
Mother Qi fell on her butt, but the first thing she did when she got up was to comfort her master. She also knew that she couldn't really break off relations with the Jiang family at this time, so she quickly covered Zhang's mouth and consoled her.
"Second Madam, please stop scolding. The master is furious now. If you continue to scold, even the old lady will hear your words. Then we will really have no room for maneuver. After all, they are mother and son, and you are just a daughter-in-law. Don't let a concubine and a concubine ruin the relationship of so many years! Think about our second daughter, she is about to give birth, and there is also our cousin, isn't it said that she should go to Xijing City in the next few days?"
After all, she was Mother Qi, who had been with her for many years, so her words of comfort immediately calmed Zhang down. Of course, she also knew that now they needed the Jiang family more than the Jiang family needed them, so she could not let this matter ferment any further.
So he stood up, dusted off the dust on his body, then grabbed Mother Qi's hand and asked somewhat helplessly.
"What should we do now? Big brother is kicking us out of the house. Doesn't that mean he's going to sever our relationship with my second wife? Even if I shamelessly go and beg for mercy, I'm afraid Big brother won't even let me into the house."
Mother Qi is older and usually has a lot of bad ideas. After thinking for a while, she suddenly thought of something and said it immediately.
"Second Madam, let's find a place to stay outside for the next few days, and then we can talk after the old lady and the others go north. After all, you have been serving the mother-in-law for so many years. You have worked hard even if you have no merits. If the Jiang family really wants to break up, then let the old lady go to the Jiang family and ask for a divorce letter! I don't believe it. The eldest daughter is getting married soon, and they will let such a thing happen in the family. If they find someone to spread the news, the Jiang family's reputation will really be trampled on the ground!"
Speaking of this, Zhang took a few deep breaths, then glanced at the gate of the Jiang family with resentment in her eyes, and then saw the old women packing up a few luggages and said tremblingly.
"Please forgive me, Madam. It's not that we want to be hard on you. We just have to listen to our Lord. Please bear with me."
After saying that, he threw the luggage in front of Zhang and hurried in. As soon as he entered, the servant quickly closed the door, as if he was afraid that Zhang would come and break down the door!
Seeing herself being chased out like a bedbug, she was so angry that she was about to smoke, but Mother Qi comforted her and finally did not let the situation get out of control. She then picked up the luggage, hid the valuables close to her body, and then took the veil hat and put it on the second wife's head before explaining.
"It's so late, we can only stay in an inn, but the Second Madam is the mother of the Crown Prince's wife, so it's better not to be recognized at this time."
After saying that, he also bought one for himself.
After checking that there was nothing wrong, the master and servant reluctantly left the Jiang family.
A few streets outside is a lively place, so settling down is not difficult. After a while, Zhang and Qi Mama stayed at the Fulai Inn. Because they were relatively low-key and said they were coming to stay with relatives and friends, they did not attract any attention and the night was relatively quiet.
The next day, when Mrs. Jiang heard the news that her second daughter-in-law was kicked out of the house, she was so angry that she fainted. This fake illness turned into a real illness!
Mother Du, who was taking care of the old lady in the hospital, was at a loss for a moment, and hurriedly asked someone to send a message to Jiang Huaishan. When he first heard the news, he felt it was a bit fake, because the visitor really looked anxious and did not seem to be acting, so after careful consideration, he decided to go there specially.
The doctor was also invited and said after a careful examination.
"The old lady is just angry and anxious. She can take care of herself after she wakes up. However, she is old now and her body is not as strong as before. So she should take better care of herself to avoid regrets in the future."
Hearing this, Jiang Huaishan sighed again and again. After the doctor left, Old Madam Jiang woke up faintly. When she opened her eyes, she saw her eldest son frowning. She didn't care about anything else and asked a question.
"You drove away the second son's wife?"
"Ah."
"Are you crazy? Not to mention that she has served me for so many years and has long been a member of our Jiang family, she is just a woman and I don't know where to go at this late hour! You have become so cruel as an official! You don't even care about your relatives at home? Or, in your eyes, only those in Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion are your relatives, and the rest of us are just obstacles?"
Madam Jiang coughed twice, and spoke so anxiously that she coughed as well.
Mother Du said soothingly while she was calming her down.
"Don't be anxious, old lady. If you have anything to say, just talk to the master slowly."
She wanted to speak slowly, but her son didn't give her the opportunity. It was her second daughter-in-law who suggested that she pretend to be sick. Now, the person who suggested it was driven away. Wouldn't she be alone in the backyard?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he looked at his eldest son with dissatisfaction.
Jiang Huaishan knew the result would be like this, so he was too lazy to say anything, fearing that his mother would keep nagging. If she was burdened with filial piety at that time, it would be really troublesome.
So he calmly opened his mouth and said something.
"Mother, take more rest. I will come to see you when you are better. You don't have to worry about Zhang's affairs. She knows all the bad things she has done in the backyard over the years. In the past, I thought that mother was deceived and confused, but from now on, I will make my own decisions on everything! Just rest assured and recuperate."
After saying this, she asked Mother Du to take good care of the child. After bowing deeply, she left the yard where Old Madam Jiang was and never cared about the matter again.
Old Madam Jiang was so angry that her eyes turned red, she really didn't expect that the child she raised would eventually turn away from her. However, she had no support and no connections in Xijing City, so it was really difficult to ask someone to find her second daughter-in-law, and in the end, it had to be left unresolved.
But what she didn't expect was that a few days later, the Zhang family came to her door.
It was another sunny afternoon. Ever since Xiang gave birth to a daughter, everyone in the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion walked very cautiously when approaching their courtyard.
Although the child was a premature baby, he still fed with force.
Little by little, every day was better than the day before. The old women and maids took turns to help, and with the presence of Madam Pei and Old Madam Wang, everything was relatively safe.
