The Jiang family refused to admit that the child born to Chengyun was Zong Tianbao's flesh and blood.
As the saying goes, kissing once is half the price, but the Zong family couple couldn't bear to part with their little grandson.
"In-laws, for the sake of his death, we cannot let this little bit of his flesh and blood be left outside." Lord Zong said with red eyes.
"What about our A-Qing and Brother Xing?" Meng knew that this matter was of vital importance and she could not let go.
"My mother-in-law, don't worry, I will treat A-Qing as my biological daughter. Besides, Chengyun is just a concubine, and I can't go beyond A-Qing at any time." Mrs. Zong begged almost in a low voice.
Jiang Qing's attitude was even more resolute, and she followed her mother's words and said: "Master, madam, you were not at home when Cheng Yun was kicked out, but you also know why she was kicked out.
She has made trouble to my brother and me time and time again, and she wishes we were dead. If we let her come back, this family will never have peace!"
"Aqing, I know you feel bad. Don't worry, I won't let them stay in the house. They live in the village outside. I promise not to let you meet." Mrs. Zong said.
Jiang Qing smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "I think it's impossible for the master and his wife to disown the child. Now that they have recognized the child, it's impossible to drive away his mother.
After all, I'm just an outsider, and my arms can't twist my thighs. Mom and Dad, you don't need to say more. We can't let other people's bones and blood leak out, otherwise, if word gets out, our reputation will be damaged.
I'd better go back to my parents' home with Brother Xing in my arms! With my dowry money, it's enough for us, mother and son, to live a simple life."
When she said this, the Zong family couple was of course panicked. No matter what, Brother Xing was the eldest son, and he could not squeeze out the legitimate son just because the concubine came back.
But the children born in Chengyun were also protected by nature! They really couldn't bear to deny it.
Mrs. Zong was so anxious that she had no choice but to ask Jiang Nuan for help: "Nuan, please help Auntie quickly!"
Before Jiang Nuan spoke, Jiang Qing challenged her: "Jiang Nuan, what do you mean?! After all, you and I can be considered sisters.
Now that you brought that bitch and the bastard she gave birth to, you clearly don’t want to make things easier for me!
It is already pitiful for me to be widowed at such a young age, but you are making it even worse!
Everyone says that you are ignorant and kind-hearted. In my opinion, you are just pretending to be stupid!
You have always been resentful that I robbed you of this marriage, so you tried every means to add insult to injury!
Couldn’t we just let our mother and son go for the sake of God’s death?!”
Jiang Yinzhi and his wife also looked at Jiang Nuan with hatred. If it weren't for her current identity, Jiang Yinzhi would have come over and slapped her.
Before Jiang Nuan spoke, she glanced at Xu Chunjun. Xu Chunjun looked at her and nodded slightly, his eyes full of encouragement.
Jiang Nuan tried hard to calm down and spoke as calmly as possible: "You don't have to blame me yet. As the saying goes, there is a car first and a rut later. Everything today has a cause and effect.
I rescued Chengyun mother and son. It was really an accident. I didn't mean to cause trouble for you.
Perhaps it was God's will in the dark that would not allow the bones and blood of Tianbao to be lost outside.
In addition, there is no airtight wall in the world. You are really a little too bold and reckless. You know that my surname is also Jiang. If something happens to you in the future, I will also be implicated."
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Jiang Yinzhi pounded the table in anger, "You idiot! You only want to harm your own family! What shameful things have we done?! The incident between Tianbao and Aqing was just a conspiracy.
Damn it, now that Tian Baodu is dead, what are you holding on to?!"
Jiang Yinzhi didn't know about Jiang Qing's mother-daughter exchange, so he thought Jiang Nuan was referring to their plot to marry Jiang Qing to Zong Tianbao.
"Jiang Qing, I just want to ask you, whose child is Brother Xing?" Jiang Nuan turned to Jiang Qing and asked her.
Jiang Qing's heart skipped a beat, and then she tried her best to appear calm: "What do you mean by that?! Brother Xing is naturally the child of Tianbao and I!"
"You beast! How could you throw dirty water on your sister?!" Jiang Yinzhi was furious and threw his tea cup at Jiang Nuan, but it missed the target and fell on the leg of the chair, smashing it to pieces.
Then he said to the Zong family couple: "Although my Jiang family's family background is not high, the daughters they raise are all innocent. I dare to guarantee it with my head! Ah Qing has only one natural protection."
"Father, I didn't say A Qing had an affair with anyone else." Jiang Nuan said, "I just asked whose child Xing is?"
At this time, Meng was also panicking, and she knew exactly what Jiang Nuan was referring to.
It's just strange, it's been so long since this happened, how did Jiang Nuan know about it?
She glanced at Xu Chunjun next to her and thought that Xu Chunjun might have gotten a glimpse of something.
This daughter of the Xu family has a very strange mind.
Meng was not a light-hearted person either. She figured that even if Xu Chunjun and the others felt that something was wrong here, times had changed.
The relevant people were sent away. They wanted to track down the clues, but they were afraid they couldn't, so what they did today was probably to deceive them.
If they have a guilty conscience, they have fallen into a trap.
But as long as they refuse to admit it, there is nothing they can do!
Having made up her mind, Meng was no longer in a hurry, stepped forward and pulled Jiang Qing to sit down, and said to Jiang Nuan pleasantly: "Nuan, I don't know where you heard the news, but it must be a rumor.
Brother Xing was born to Ah Qing in the ninth month of her pregnancy. She exchanged a big life for a small life. This is absolutely true, but Cheng Yun, this little girl is not a simple character.
She was just transferred to serve Tianbao, and she climbed into Tianbao's bed within a few days. If you say that her tricks are useless, I don't believe it.
Tianbao's child has never liked to mess around with women, and his parents-in-law must know this best.
Later, she was carried to her aunt, and logically she should be at peace. But she just wasn't satisfied, and attacked Brother Xing several times.
Tianbao was still protecting her before, but then he couldn't stand it any longer, so he kicked her out. It was Tianbao's intention to drive her out of the house, and even though he is gone now, we can't go against his will."
"Mrs. Jiang, I never dared to offend my brother from beginning to end, let alone attack grandma. I was wrongly accused!" Cheng Yun cried.
"A Nuan, this...what is going on?" Mrs. Zong and Lord Zong didn't know why, but they had already sensed that something was wrong.
"Uncle and aunt, Tianbao kicked Chengyun out in the first place. The specific circumstances can be explained in detail by the parties involved." Jiang Nuan would look at Xu Chunjun every time before speaking, and Xu Chunjun always gave her encouragement with his eyes.
"What's so difficult about repeating it again?" Jiang Qing said angrily, "Although the natural protection is gone, the servants in this mansion are all here. Everyone has witnessed what Cheng Yun did.
Call the mother in charge and Brother Xing’s nanny over and ask them to explain it in detail, lest you don’t believe what I say!”
