Chapter 1120 The Eldest Daughter Who Was Rejected in the Engagement 6
When Madam Jiang returned to her courtyard with her granddaughter, she said with a worried expression, "Your father probably hates you, his daughter. I'm worried that he'll turn on you like a madman!"
“Grandmother, don’t worry! As long as you’re here, Father won’t dare to do anything reckless,” Jiang Chunxi said. “After all, Father can’t possibly kill his mother just to get rid of his daughter!”
Madam Jiang's heart skipped a beat.
The son might not allow the killing of his mother, but that wretched woman, Aunt Tong, might not be so. The main concern is that the son might condone Aunt Tong's actions and cause her death.
No, no, it seems I need to have my trusted confidants keep a close eye on what she eats, drinks, and uses from now on. I can't let her be drugged without her knowing, and let that bitch Aunt Tong kill her.
Madam Jiang had no doubt that Aunt Tong had the intention to kill her. If it weren't for the fact that she had always controlled the household affairs, she probably would have been killed by Aunt Tong long ago.
When An's mother returned to the An family home, she immediately sent someone to find a doctor, which shows that she had fallen ill from anger.
"What exactly happened? Why is Chongli's face injured like this?" When Madam An learned that her daughter-in-law had called for a doctor, she rushed over to ask about the situation. When she saw her grandson's injured face, she was quite shocked.
The trusted nanny of Madam An quickly recounted what had happened. After listening, Old Madam An said to her grandson with displeasure, "Are you crazy? You barged into your sister-in-law's boudoir. If this gets out, not only will your reputation be ruined, but the reputation of the An family will also be ruined by you."
"Just you wait! When your grandfather comes back and finds out what you did today, he'll punish you severely."
“Mother, it was all that bitch Jiang Chunyun who instigated it,” Mother An said through gritted teeth. “She truly deserves to be called a vile wretch born of a concubine. When she schemes, she can even scheme against her own fiancé. If the betrothal hadn’t already been arranged, I would never have let my son marry such a scourge into the family.”
“Mother, how can you blame Chunyun?” An Chongli naturally spoke up for Jiang Chunyun. “It’s clearly Jiang Chunxi who is to blame…”
“Shut up,” Mother An interrupted her son’s voice with a dark face. “How come I only realized today that you are a fool who would be blinded by a woman? You didn’t even realize that Jiang Chunyun was using you as a pawn, and now you’re even speaking up for her.”
“Your mother is right,” said Madam An. “Chongli! How could you be so muddle-headed and impulsive? You were used as a pawn, and you even spoke up for that Jiang Chunyun. Don’t you think that if Jiang Chunyun really cared about you, how could she let you barge into her elder sister’s boudoir in broad daylight?”
"But this also shows that Jiang Chunyun is stupid. Doesn't she realize that if today's incident really blows up, it could ruin you? Scholars value their reputation the most. If people find out that you barged into your sister-in-law's boudoir in broad daylight, your future will be completely ruined."
“Sigh! Your mother is right. That Jiang Chunyun is truly worthy of being born to a concubine. Marrying a woman like that will probably cause you countless problems in the future. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have agreed to let you marry Jiang Chunyun.”
“Of course! That Jiang Chunxi is no good either,” said Madam An with a stern face. “It’s all your grandfather’s fault. If your grandfather hadn’t arranged this marriage for you, why would you have to choose between the Jiang sisters? With your talent, you could have any kind of marriage you wanted. Why hang yourself on the Jiang family tree?”
An Chongli remained silent. It wasn't that he had taken everything Madam An said to heart, but rather that he was indeed somewhat resentful towards Jiang Chunyun.
Yes, An Chongli is now feeling terrified. If the Jiang family had really reported him to the authorities today, his future would have been completely ruined.
“Let me tell you, once that bitch Jiang Chunyun enters the house, I will teach her proper manners. You’d better not feel sorry for her just because she sheds a few tears and help her disobey me,” Mother An paused, trying to stop her chest from heaving so much. “You should know that I’m teaching Jiang Chunyun manners for your own good.”
"Unless you don't mind that bitch Jiang Chunyun dragging you down and making you always have to clean up her messes, then you can spoil that bitch as much as you want! Once she ruins your future by causing trouble, it will be too late to regret it."
"I understand, son." What could An Chongli say? After all, his mother was doing this for his own good.
Nighttime, at the Jiang family's residence.
"Master, my face really hurts," Aunt Tong's face was still throbbing after the medicine was applied, but it was much better than before, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken up now. "The eldest young lady is really too much. How could she let a rough old woman beat me?"
"Waaah! I have suffered such humiliation today. From now on, which servant in this manor will respect me as a concubine?"
"But that's true. To use Miss's words, a concubine is no different from a lowly servant, so..."
"Alright, stop talking," Mr. Jiang said, rubbing his temples in annoyance. "Don't I want to deal with that wretched girl? But Mother is protecting her, so what can I do?"
“The old lady is really going too far,” Aunt Tong quickly tried to soothe her, “She doesn’t care about you as her son at all!”
"Sigh! If only the old lady weren't here. Without the old lady as a mountain, the entire Jiang family would be under the master's control. Let's see how the young lady would dare to disrespect you, her father."
A cold glint flashed in Jiang's father's eyes, and Aunt Tong's lips curled up slightly.
That's great, maybe she won't even need to lift a finger, the master can help her send that old woman to her death.
Hmph! Just you wait. Once that old woman dies, we'll see how she teaches that bitch Jiang Chunxi a lesson. We'll torture her mercilessly, making her wish she were dead, before we can quell her hatred.
Although An Chongli was angry with Jiang Chunyun, his anger dissipated as Jiang Chunyun sent him letter after letter.
Now that the marriage was officially arranged, An Chongli frequently invited Jiang Chunyun out for trips, forgetting all about the punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days. He was only thinking about seeing his beloved and ignored his mother's admonitions.
This made An's mother hate Jiang Chunyun even more, and it also disappointed An Chongli's grandfather. However, the old master An did not intend to say anything to his grandson at this time.
Given his grandson's situation, the only effective way to teach him a lesson is to let him suffer a severe setback with a woman; that would be far more effective than any lecture.
Of course! It would be best if we could prevent our grandson from making a mistake with a woman.
In general, Grandpa An didn't really care about Jiang Chunyun, thinking she couldn't possibly have the ability to turn their grandson, whom the An family had carefully raised, into a fool.
