Jian Lihang understood everything as soon as he saw her expression.
It was really my mother who took action against Yang back then!
Mrs. Jian said: "Who is talking nonsense in your ears? How could mother do such a thing? Yang is my daughter-in-law and your wife, what is the benefit of me killing her?"
Jian Lihang said sadly: "Mother, Granny Li has confessed to the doctor and the maids who served her, and they have all been arrested and put in prison."
Mrs. Jian felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and the remaining blood on her lips was gone. If it weren't for the fact that her back was leaning on the bed, she might not have been able to straighten up.
Her face was full of fear and nervousness, "How could this happen?"
"Mama Li actually betrayed me!"
Anger appeared in her eyes, "I sold their whole family to those dirty places."
She trusted Aunt Li so much that she even promoted her son to be a steward in Zhuangzi, but Aunt Li revealed all these old things to her. Is she worthy of her?
"Lihang, go and bribe the prison bosses and silence them all." This matter must not be exposed, otherwise how can she gain a foothold in the capital?
She suddenly stretched out her hands and grabbed her son tightly, her face full of pleading.
"Mom, our family doesn't have the ability to silence someone."
That was the Jingzhao Mansion, not the Jian family. If he had such ability, would there be any need to marry the Yang family back then?
"Why did you do this? If you hate Mrs. Yang so much, why did you let me marry her in the first place?"
Mrs. Jian's voice was panicked, "I, I didn't want to kill her."
"It's just that Mrs. Yang is really hateful. Even though she has so much dowry, she is unwilling to spend more to supplement the family income, and she is still thinking about cutting expenses. She can't even give birth to a boy, so what's the use of collecting so much money? Our family is
Uncle Mansion, if you fall into the style of Uncle Mansion, I don’t know how many people will laugh at you.”
"Isn't it just because she was rich that I married her for you? Otherwise, how could she, a lowly merchant's daughter, be qualified to be the uncle's house filler? But she didn't know how to be grateful at all, and she even showed up to do business.
You’ve been working against me all day long.”
As if she wanted to defend herself, her voice was a little softer, "I didn't want to kill her at the time. I just wanted to make her sick for a while and change her temper."
And if she is ill, she will be able to meddle with her dowry and use money to make up for the shortfall in Jian's family's books.
"I didn't expect that she would fall ill...it must be because the people below did things improperly, which delayed her condition."
"I regretted it very much at the time, so I specially asked someone to light an ever-burning lantern for her in the temple. Over the years, I have often chanted sutras for her salvation in front of the Buddha."
"Lihang, believe me, my mother really didn't want to kill her. It must be because she couldn't bear the blessing of marrying into the uncle's house."
Jian Lihang chose to believe her words, "Then why did you drive Chunxi away?"
If Chunxi was raised in the house, she would not be separated from them.
Mrs. Jian pursed her lips and said, "Chunxi looks like Mr. Yang."
Yang had just died at that time, and she felt uncomfortable when she saw Chunxi, and she had nightmares for several days because of it. In addition, Yang's mother-in-law came to make a fuss, and she was annoyed and wanted to use this incident to suppress her.
The Yang family. Who knew that the Yang family would pick up Chun Xi directly.
Over the years, Mrs. Jian has not regretted why she said the words "horoscopes are incompatible" in the first place.
"Does Chunxi know about this? Isn't that why she came to the house today?"
When Mrs. Jian thought of this, her whole body became cold, and her hands like old tree bark began to tremble uncontrollably.
"If it doesn't work, then we'll just say that it's up to Aunt Li and the others to make their own decisions."
Apart from this, there is no other way.
Jian Lihang said: "Chunxi said she wanted to sever ties with us."
"How is this possible! She has the blood of our Jian family in her body. Is this blood relationship something she can break off if she wants?"
Jian Lihang said: "If she disagrees with this matter, she plans to make a big deal out of it."
Mrs. Jian opened her mouth.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "If she wants to leave, just leave. From now on, I will treat her as my granddaughter."
"I want to see if Su Yueling can protect her for the rest of her life? Su Yueling is just using her for fun. She will regret it sooner or later."
She clutched her chest and felt her chest hurt even more.
…
Because this matter involved Mrs. Jian's own reputation, Mrs. Jian urged her son to handle the matter.
Two days later, Jian Chunxi came back, accompanied by many guards from the princess palace.
This posture opened the eyes of the servants of Jian Mansion.
"The second young lady really wins the favor of Princess Wei."
"I don't know what the princess likes about her. The eldest lady is good at everything, but Princess Wei doesn't like her."
"Maybe it's because the second young lady has some advantages that we don't know about. In fact, the second young lady is also quite nice and treats us very kindly."
Because Su Yueling was involved, the servants did not dare to slander Jian Chunxi.
However, what happened next shocked the Jian family's servants.
Jian Chunxi used the reason that her horoscope was incompatible with Mrs. Jian and for the sake of Mrs. Jian's health, she was willing to leave the Jian family and completely cut off relations with the Jian family.
And Jian Lihang, the head of the Jian family, also nodded in agreement.
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
This was done in public, which meant that it was impossible to regret it.
Jian Chunyin, who didn't know the inside story, couldn't maintain the elegant manners of a noble lady of the uncle's house.
Chunxi, she really doesn’t even want to be the lady of the house. Is she so confident that she can live well after leaving the house?
What surprised her even more was that both her grandmother and father agreed.
Grandma didn't even say a word about this and had no intention of reprimanding Chunxi.
Jian Chunxi wiped her eyes with a handkerchief soaked in ginger water, "I hope you will take good care of yourself, Madam, and live a long life, so that you can live up to my love."
She added an accent to the four words "long live a hundred years".
Mrs. Jian subconsciously avoided her eyes - the look in Chunxi's eyes now made her feel cold.
She forced out a loving expression and said, "You should take good care of yourself when you are outside."
Jian Chunxi straightened her back, "Of course, I have to live a good life as well as my mother."
When she heard her mention her mother, Mrs. Jian's expression changed drastically.
Jian Chunxi glanced at them, turned around and left.
Jian Lihang still chased after him, "Chunxi, let's stop this matter."
Jian Chunxi paused and looked back at him with a sarcastic expression on her face, "I won't tell anyone about this."
Hearing her assurance, Jian Lihang breathed a sigh of relief.
Jian Chunxi continued to move forward and started her new life.
She wouldn't say it, but if Mrs. Xiao admitted it in front of others, it would be none of her business. She was waiting to see her retribution.
