Before Shen Yanqing took over Qiongzhou, Jiang Chuan was the local emperor of Qiongzhou City. Although Jiang Chuan did not dare to be arrogant due to Gu Danian's past mistakes, the officials in Qiongzhou were not flattering and fawning over him and praised him to the point of ecstasy. Now, Being executed suddenly, not to mention Jiang Chuan who couldn't accept this gap, even other officials in Qiongzhou City were shocked.
"How is that possible? Haven't you already been demoted to Li County?"
Several officials in the government office whispered, unable to understand Jiang Chuan's fate.
"I heard that he discovered a coal mine in Li County and wanted to collude with the local wealthy gentry to embezzle it. The Lord caught him and that's why he was sentenced to death."
"No wonder.……"
Although this is the reason on the surface, there are also well-informed people who know what Jiang Chuan did.
Although they would not publicize it in a big way, they spread it privately a lot, and the reputation of the Jiang Xuan sisters gradually deteriorated. Those who had previously thought of getting married to the Jiang family have given up the idea now.
Chen Shirao was mentally prepared, and immediately fell seriously ill after seeing this result.
Her body and bones had not been well maintained to begin with, and now she was bedridden.
Jiang Xuan accepted it quickly. She had no intention of getting married. She didn't care whether those people wanted to marry her or not.
Originally, Jiang Xuan was still feeling a little uncomfortable because of Li County. When Chen became ill, she was at the bedside to attend to the illness, so she didn't feel sad anymore.
Jiang Chuan had already been imprisoned, so Chen braced himself up and wrote a divorce letter, which was sent to the prison by Chen Wanzhang for Jiang Chuan to sign.
Shen Yanqing knew that Chen Wanzhang was angry, so he turned a blind eye and asked the prison guards to waterproof him. Chen Wanzhang gave Jiang Chuan a severe lesson. I heard that in the end, Jiang Chuan's face was bruised, purple, red and swollen, and everyone looked at it. No longer in human form.
But when he ended up like this, no one sympathized with him at all, and they wished that Chen Wanzhang would be more harsh.
After Mrs. Chen and Jiang Chuan made peace, the depression around them gradually dissipated, and they became much more energetic. They could get out of bed with the help of the maid.
Chen Wanzhang and his three brothers helped Chen pack her luggage and returned to Suzhou together when she was almost recovered.
The Chen family's business is inseparable from people. As the head of the Chen family, Chen Wanzhang's stay in Qiongzhou City for more than half a month has already reached his limit. Suzhou will be in chaos if he stays any longer.
Of course, Mrs. Chen also knew how difficult it was for her brothers. She also wanted to go back and see my mother. Before, she was so obsessed with her that she didn't even care about her relatives. Now Ms. Chen regrets it.
It just so happened that the day for Jiang Miao to go to sea was decided, which was on the third day of August.
Chen Wanzhang was grateful to her for rescuing his sister and niece, and sent a lot of good friends to her. These people had experience in going to sea. With them following her, Jiang Miao had more protection along the way.
When Shen Yanqing saw the Chen family taking to the road, his impression of them improved a lot.
It happened that the coal mines in Li County needed to be mined, Liang Duo was too busy, and Shen Yanqing also needed other helpers. The Chen Wanzhang brothers had a close relationship, and the Chen family had a good reputation in Suzhou, so they were a good partner.
Before the Chen Wanzhang brothers left, Shen Yanqing invited them to the study. When the three came out, their faces were red and their eyes were full of excitement.
"Master Shen values us so much, we must work hard!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that our Chen family would have the opportunity to go further. It's all thanks to Zhilan. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have the chance to make friends with Mr. Shen."
The three Chen Wanzhang brothers talked about it. With this business, Chen will be able to stand up even when he returns to Suzhou.
As their youngest sister, Chen Wanzhang was naturally willing to let her return to her parents' home after she had been wronged, but Chen Wanzhang and his brothers also understood this.
After all, Mrs. Chen is a harmonious person. They don't care, but that doesn't mean their daughter-in-law can accept it in her heart.
Originally, Chen Wanzhang was worried that Mrs. Chen would be wronged when she returned to her parents' family. Now that she has a coal mine business, Mrs. Chen is the hero of their Chen family. No one can say anything to her when she returns home.
"Zhilan is a lucky person."
Even Chen Wanqing couldn't help but sigh to himself. With his relationship with the Shen family, Chen had someone to rely on behind him.
Not to mention that Jiang Xuan is about to go to sea with Jiang Miao. In the eyes of others, their mother and daughter are Jiang Miao's cronies, and offending them is offending Jiang Miao.
"I also have a master who is good at reading the direction of the wind. I will send it to Xuan'er later. Let him follow me when we go to sea this time."
…
On the day they set sail, the city of Qiongzhou was in a state of excitement, and almost all the people in the city came to see them off.
Jiang Miao stood on the deck and said goodbye to the two little dumplings. After holding back the tears for several days, Jiang Miao still fell.
She lay in Jiang Miao's arms, her voice choked with sobs.
"Mom, I can't let you go, and dad can't let you go either."
The closer the separation came, the more reluctant the little girl was to let Jiang Miao leave.
"Mom is also reluctant to part with you, so I will come back soon, okay? After you know a hundred big characters, mother will come back."
Jiang Miao kissed Yingying's little face and coaxed her softly.
Yingying has recently started to learn to read, but she just can't sit still. Shen Yanqing is a strict person, but he is a slave to his daughter. He won't get angry if Yingying doesn't learn to read well, and just let her go.
Jiang Miao couldn't stand her daughter's lack of concentration. She made this promise because she wanted Yingying to concentrate on learning calligraphy.
Yingying's little face wrinkled up after hearing her mother's words. She knew those words, but she didn't know them. When she heard that she had to learn a hundred words from her mother before she came back, the little girl cried even more pitifully.
"Woo woo woo... You must study hard, mother will come back early."
When she returned home, she learned from her brother Han Yu. Compared with her mother, learning calligraphy was not too difficult.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Jiang Miao felt distressed and amused at the same time. She wiped her tears with her fingers and kissed her forehead.
"Okay, mom promises you, go ahead and go back with dad."
As she said this, she handed Ying Ying to Shen Yanqing. The man kept watching the two of them say goodbye, his eyes full of reluctance.
When Jiang Miao handed Yingying to him, her fingers touched his palm and the man grabbed her.
The palm of his hand was hot, and Jiang Miao was stunned for a moment.
"Ms. sir..."
There were still people watching on the deck, but Shen Yanqing couldn't care anymore. He stretched out his arms to hold Jiang Miao in his arms. Yingying was sandwiched between the two of them, with her little face buried in Jiang Miao's arms and unable to break free.
Shen Yanqing put his arms around her waist, and his deep voice rang in her ears.
"Be safe when you go out. My child and I will wait for you to come home."
"good."
Jiang Miao hugged back, and the two enjoyed a moment of tenderness.
However, parting is right in front of them, and they have no time to get along if they want to.
The mast was slowly raised, the sails were spread, and the ship was slowly sailing out of the coast.
Jiang Miao waved vigorously toward the shore from the deck. Her departure not only changed Qiongzhou, but also changed the history of Dayan.
