Chapter 873 Shouldering 2 Rooms 7
"My brother-in-law, what you said is not true," Wu said. "My mother is such a strong person. When the news of Zhifei and his son's death came, my mother didn't faint or have a stroke. So how could she be stimulated by these rumors and have a stroke?"
"In my opinion, the reason why mother had a stroke must be Jiang's fault," Wu looked at Liu and said, "But sister-in-law, how did you manage the household? You made such a big mistake. When I was in charge of the household, no servant in this mansion dared to disobey me and spread the affairs of the mansion to outsiders."
Without giving Liu a chance to speak, Wu looked at Yongzhong Hou again and said, "Brother-in-law, what is going on outside right now? What rumors are circulating that are unfavorable to our Yongzhong Hou Mansion?"
"Don't mention it," said Yongzhong Hou with a dark face, "Our Yongzhong Hou Mansion has become a laughing stock in the whole capital. If we had known that Liu was so incompetent, we should not have handed over the household finances of this mansion to her. Instead, it should have been managed by my eldest sister-in-law."
"Brother-in-law, please don't say such things anymore," Wu said calmly, "Your second branch is now in charge of the Yongzhong Marquis's Mansion. How can I, the eldest sister-in-law, take charge of the household affairs of the mansion without my younger sister-in-law's permission?"
"But what does my uncle have in mind about Jiang's calamity star? You know, even my mother is being afflicted by her calamity star. Who knows who will be afflicted next?"
"My Lord, Jiang's mother came today," Liu no longer cared about the anger of being slapped by her husband, "The Jiang family denied that Jiang was a disaster star, and said that it was our Yongzhong Marquis Mansion that was plotting against her daughter, and threatened that the Jiang family would not let this matter go."
"Hmph!" Wu snorted coldly, "As soon as Jiang came into the family, she killed so many of my brother-in-law's illegitimate sons. How dare Jiang's mother turn the tables on me? It seems that this matter cannot be resolved peacefully. The Jiang family is preparing to tear our Yongzhong Marquis Mansion apart."
"Sister-in-law, is Jiang really a disaster?" When saying this, Yongzhong Hou looked at Liu with suspicion, "Liu, tell me the truth, the deaths of those bastards were not caused by you."
"My Lord, how many times do I have to tell you before you believe me?" Liu felt that she was going to die of injustice. "I have told you so many times that if I really couldn't tolerate a concubine's son, how could I let my concubine give birth to children one by one?"
"Uncle, I don't think Aunt is lying," Jiang Chunxi said. "Think about it! Which mother in this world would do something to kill someone on her son's wedding day? Not only will it bring bad luck to her son's wedding, but isn't she afraid of retribution, and retribution will come to her son?"
"That's right," Liu said hastily, "My Lord, Zhihao is my only son, so how could I do something sinful and murderous on his wedding day?"
"My lord, Lord Jiang is here to visit." Just then a servant came in from outside.
"Why are there people from the Jiang family again?" Wu frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, Lord Jiang is not here to call for accusations. He wants to say that his daughter's disaster was a plot by our Yongzhong Marquis Mansion against his daughter."
"This is too much," Yongzhong Hou said angrily, "We didn't go to the Jiang family to settle accounts with them, but they did it. The couple took turns to come to our house. Do they really think that our Yongzhong Hou Mansion is afraid of them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Marquis Yongzhong turned and walked out, and just as he left, the imperial physician finished taking the old lady's pulse.
The result is obvious: the old lady's stroke cannot be cured and she will be paralyzed in bed from now on.
Meanwhile, in the front hall, the conversation between Marquis Yongzhong and Jiang's father was also filled with smoke, and they had completely torn their relations apart. Before leaving, Jiang's father made some harsh remarks, telling the Marquis Yongzhong's family to just wait and see, as there was no way they could plot against his daughter's reputation.
Of course, from beginning to end, Jiang's father never proposed to divorce his daughter and take her home. Not to mention that divorce would damage the reputation of the Jiang family, if he really let his daughter divorce and return home, wouldn't it be more convincing that his daughter was a disaster? Otherwise, why would the Jiang family take their daughter back?
In short, no matter how this matter was handled, Jiang's father never thought of letting his daughter divorce. If necessary, Jiang's father could even be cruel enough to let his daughter die. He would never let the family's reputation be dragged down because of his daughter.
Yan Zhihao did not return until the evening. When he came back, he looked like a lost soul, which was enough to prove what a devastating result he got when he went to see the doctor.
"Where have you been?" When Yan Zhihao came to the old lady's yard, Yongzhong Hou looked at his son with a gloomy face and said, "Such a big thing happened at home, but you are gone all day."
"It's my son's fault," Yan Zhihao said, perking up himself. "Father, how is grandma doing now? Is there really nothing we can do about it?"
Upon learning that his grandmother had suffered a stroke, Yan Zhihao came to check on her even though he was mentally devastated.
But compared to the death sentence the doctor gave him today, Yan Zhihao really couldn't feel sad at all about his grandmother's stroke.
"Zhihao, your grandmother will be paralyzed in bed from now on," Liu said while wiping her tears. "Your grandmother was harmed by that calamity star of Jiang family. If it wasn't for that calamity star of Jiang family, how could your grandmother have had a stroke out of nowhere?"
Yan Zhihao's eyes were burning with raging hatred.
That’s right, Jiang Yuanran is the disaster star, otherwise how can we explain that he suddenly became an inhuman waste.
"Alas!" Wu sighed, "What a misfortune for our family! Jiang is simply a star that brings bad luck to her husband's family. I am worried that the next person she will bring bad luck to is Zhihao. You know, Zhihao is the only male in our mansion now. If she brings bad luck to him, like Zhihao's half brothers, he will also lose his life because of her bad luck. Then our Yongzhong Manor will be extinct."
The hatred in Yan Zhihao's eyes deepened.
He has been defeated by Jiang Yuanran and turned into an inhuman waste.
"My Lord, what should we do?" Liu was frightened by Wu's words. "We can't let Jiang, that disaster, stay in our Yongzhong Marquis Mansion any longer. We have to divorce her immediately, otherwise our Zhihao might..."
"But..." Jiang Chunxi's voice interrupted Liu's words, "But will the Jiang family let us, the Yongzhong Marquis' Mansion, divorce Jiang? After all, the Jiang family doesn't agree with the saying that Jiang is a disaster star, so I think the Jiang family will never let the prince divorce Jiang."
"Chunxi is right," Wu said, "If the Jiang family allowed Zhihao to divorce Jiang, wouldn't that be indirectly admitting that their daughter is a disaster? Otherwise, why would they allow our Yongzhong Marquis Mansion to divorce their daughter?"
