He shouted, "Where's the medicated oil? Bring the medicated oil quickly." Someone brought the medicated oil that he had just given to the third wife to smell, and he waited for his mother to smell it.
"Mother, please don't be so angry." Mr. Jiang said worriedly.
"Where's the family law? Get it from the family law!" The old lady beat her chest and stamped her feet and howled in a low voice, "It's because I didn't teach the children well. It's because I feel sorry for the old man who died."
"Mother, mother."
A second-class girl hurried over holding a ruler tied with a red string and timidly shouted, "Old madam, I have brought the family law."
"Bring it, bring it!!" The old lady moved down from the couch, stumbled over with support, and held the ruler tightly in her hand.
She slapped San'er on the back with her ruler, "You little beast, I would rather you go out and never come back to Beijing, and then do something like this as soon as you come back to Beijing."
"If you bring back a brothel girl, what are you doing to your family's reputation?"
"How will the powerful and wealthy families in Beijing view our Jiang family in the future? Do your daughters and nieces still want to marry into a good family in the future??"
"Your eldest brother has been mediating everywhere for you, and finally transferred you back to the capital from your exile. You are just ungrateful, and you have caused such a thing. How do you want outsiders to see our Jiang family, and how do you want outsiders to see your eldest brother?
Do you still want that official reputation??"
The old lady was so angry that she kept yelling and cursing, and then the ruler fell on San'er. Her face turned blue with anger, and her eyesight turned black.
She really didn't expect that this useless thing could actually do such a thing.
If the Jiang family really accepts this brothel girl, they will lose their century-old reputation as a clean and elegant person. If others don't say it to their face, they may laugh behind their backs.
A hint of hatred flashed in Liang Xiaomei's eyes, and she suddenly let out a cry and threw herself at the old lady's feet, crying, "Old lady, please don't punish Saburo. All the mistakes he made are Xiaomei's fault. If you want to punish him, please do it."
Beat Xiaomei. Xiaomei is willing to take the punishment for Saburo."
The old lady sneered, put away the ruler, and asked someone to help her sit down, "Who do you think you are? I blame myself for beating my son, so you have no role to speak here."
She was so angry just now that she beat up San'er in front of all her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and now she secretly regrets it in her heart.
After all, beating the third child in front of all the children is too disrespectful to the third child.
But she was really angry!
If the third child, a confused person, was half as smart and witty as the elder brother, he would not have been an official for so many years and still be just a small editor.
"Old lady." Liang Xiaomei wiped her tears and knelt down in front of her, crying, "It's all my fault, old lady, please don't beat Sanlang anymore. I only have a sincere heart for Sanlang, even if I am a slave."
I am also willing to be a maid."
The old lady sneered, "Our family in the Jiang Mansion has been a scholarly family for generations. Logically speaking, a person of your status cannot even enter the Jiang Mansion's gate."
"If you know the truth, I can give you a sum of money and leave on your own. If you keep pestering me, I won't be able to cure you!"
"Old Madam." Liang Xiaomei fell to the ground and cried loudly, "Please show some kindness. Although I am a lowly person with a fate like catkins, the child in my belly is the flesh and blood of your Jiang family."
The old lady sneered again, "No need to be pretentious."
