Chapter 104 The Zhang Family Curses Jiang Wude

After two coughs, Xuan knew someone was coming and immediately behaved better.

The people from the Zhang family did not notice this side, but became excited when they saw Jiang Huaishan coming over. But before they could say anything, they were stunned by the beauty of Jiang Shiyuan next to them.

Especially Zhang Yunmeng.

She claimed that she was a beauty in Xuzhou, and that the other girls around her did not have such good looks and talents as her, so she was a little arrogant in her bones.

But after meeting the legendary "eldest daughter of the Jiang family" today, her confidence of more than ten years was shattered in an instant. She took a step back and a look of worry appeared on her face.

Old Madam Zhang reacted quickly and immediately said something with a smile.

"I, an old woman, have come to trouble Lord Jiang with my family. Please don't look down on our poor relatives. Could this girl be the eldest daughter raised in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan bowed politely and then spoke.

"That's right. Ah Nian greets Old Madam Zhang and everyone else."

The people of the Zhang family had never learned any etiquette, so when returning the gifts, they all had their own way of doing things. Compared to Jiang Shiyuan's calmness and composure, they seemed a little at a loss, especially Zhang Yunmeng, who lowered his head when he saw this.

It can be said that it was an unprecedented blow.

Jiang Huaishan didn't want to play along with them, so he stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation. The father and daughter sat down, and Madam Zhang asked with a little curiosity.

"Where's your mother? Why isn't she here? And why isn't my daughter here either?"

"Mother has been ill since the seventh month and can't get up now, so it's not easy for her to come out to entertain guests. As for my second brother and his wife... they moved away from here a few days ago, so they're not here either."

"Move out? How is that possible?"

The faces of the Zhang family were not good. They had written to urge them to come soon a few days ago. How could they move out? Apart from other things, such a house is so comfortable to live in. Why move out? Besides, in the current situation, if they come, won’t they have no excuse to seek refuge?

For a moment, everyone was in a dilemma.

Zhang Xingchun looked at Jiang Huaishan with a little caution, and then asked a question.

"That shouldn't be the case. My sister contacted us a while ago and told us that she wanted us to come. How come she moved out all of a sudden? Could something have happened in the mansion? Lord Jiang, please don't hide it from us."

"Come to think of it, your guess is not entirely wrong. Something did happen. I guess my second brother and his wife were driven out by me."

"what?"

This sentence was even more frightening than the previous ones. "Kick her out!" What crime had Zhang committed that necessitated the expulsion of someone? All of a sudden, everyone in the Zhang family was annoyed and angry, and they immediately started to rage.

"Master Jiang, my sister became a widow at a young age. She has been serving her mother-in-law and raising children in the Jiang family for so many years. Even though he is not her biological son, he is still registered under her name. How can you, the Jiang family, turn against us so suddenly and even drive her out?!"

His voice was loud to begin with, and today's great joy and great sorrow were too intense, so he suddenly became anxious and started to scold with a very bad attitude. Old Madam Zhang was older, so she was naturally more reasonable in her actions. She spoke in a cold voice.

"Xingchun, speak properly."

Although Zhang Xingchun was dissatisfied, he seldom disobeyed his mother, so he could only swallow his anger for the time being and then listened to what Madam Zhang said immediately after taking over the conversation.

"Master Jiang, I know that my girl is impatient and sharp-tongued, but she has a good heart. If she has done anything wrong, you should be more tolerant of her because she has been a widow for many years and raised Jin'er. How can you just drive her away? She is a woman and she doesn't have a man to rely on. How can you let her live?"

As he was talking, he started to cry. I thought he was being bullied.

The Jiang family has seen too many dramas like this between father and daughter in the past six months. It has to be said that old lady Zhang's acting skills are not as good as Second Aunt Zhang. At least when she was crying for her daughter, there was more sincerity in her eyes.

Unlike this photo of the old lady, who appears to be wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she is actually secretly observing the movements of the father and daughter.

Since Jiang Huaishan dared to do it, he naturally dared to admit it.

He waited until Madam Zhang had cried for a while before he spoke calmly and told her everything one by one.

"I have always known that it is difficult for my second brother's wife to be a widow, so I am also trying my best to help. A few years ago, when my second brother and I separated, Madam Zhang was also present. Because I am the older brother and have a good reputation in the government, most of the family property was given to my younger brother. I can't say how much it is, but the family can make do with it and have no problem eating and drinking."

Having said this, Madam Zhang was speechless all of a sudden. After all, she had deliberately helped her daughter to fight for the family property back then, so she knew the ins and outs of it very well.

Jiang Huaishan saw her guilty conscience and continued without any tolerance.

"After my second brother passed away, my wife thought about the difficulties of their family, so she brought them back and treated them well. Even though my wife passed away, I still provided them with adequate food and clothing, including Jin'er, who was like my own daughter. Do you agree with this?"

When the people from the Zhang family heard these words, they no longer had the attitude of arguing as before. After all, these things happened in Xuzhou, so they naturally knew about it. Moreover, it was rare for an uncle to do so much for his niece, so they certainly couldn't speak carelessly.

"But I didn't expect that a little rice can bring about gratitude, but a big rice can bring about hatred. People's hearts cannot be tamed, and their desires cannot be satisfied. My second brother's wife actually allowed Jin'er to plot Ah Nian's marriage, and then begged Ah Nian to cancel the engagement, so that she was able to marry into the palace. Just based on this, am I wrong to drive her out?"

The Zhang family members' faces turned blue and white, and they felt a little embarrassed by being scolded.

They only knew bits and pieces about what was going on here, but that did not include Old Madam Zhang. The letter Zhang wrote to her told the whole story, so she pretended to be innocent and explained it.

"I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding here. I don't think the eldest lady is the type to care about it. It's been so long since this happened, and Jin'er has a daughter from the palace. We should...we should forgive them both. After all, we are a family."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan, who had been silent all this time, chuckled, then stared at the guilty Madam Zhang and replied in a calm tone.

"Madam Zhang is really well-informed. She even knows that the Crown Prince's wife is pregnant."

Old Madam Zhang was speechless. Xuzhou and Xijing City were far apart, and they were not the kind of people who could send a letter at an express speed of 800 miles. Therefore, the fact that Old Madam Zhang knew about this matter showed that they were in close contact. Therefore, to say that it was a misunderstanding was full of mistakes and omissions.
