Not only the servants in the main courtyard were trembling, but even Tan Yue was dumbfounded and couldn't recover for a long time.
As the mistress of the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang is very cunning, but she has always dealt with others in a polite manner. She is willing to let go of her power at will, and her relationship with her two daughters-in-law is also quite polite.
Tan Yue is young and does not know the past.
I have only heard the old ladies mention that the mistress of the Jiang family was very good back then. She could accompany the old general on the battlefield, she could also arrange the rear for him, she could raise a brave general who was good at fighting, and she could also treat people who were not related by blood. The bastard of relationship.
Mrs. Jiang's skill is indispensable for the Jiang family's stable status.
Even after receiving the news that the old general had died in battle, she was able to be calm and measured, advance and retreat appropriately, and organize the funeral in a beautiful and not extravagant manner, which won praise from Fengjing.
In Tan Yue's memory, Mrs. Jiang only got angry once, that is when she learned that her granddaughter was not her legitimate granddaughter and that when the real young lady of the Jiang family was living abroad, she quickly took back the Jiang Liao family's middle-age rights and tried her best to find her legitimate granddaughter.
This time, it's the second time.
Whether it was because she had been on the battlefield or because she had resentment in her heart, Mrs. Jiang's slap was so hard that a trace of blood suddenly appeared on Jiang Liao's face.
"Mother..." Jiang Liao said hoarsely twice, her voice unclear, "Mother hits me when she comes up. Have you ever thought that I am the general's wife?"
The word "legacy" weighs heavily on everything.
General Jiang is away at war, so he relies on his wife to take care of the back house, maintain relationships with him, and even manage money.
Men on the battlefield only work hard, bleed, and protect their families and country.
Mrs. Jiang had also hoped that Jiang Liao would take over her position a hundred years later, but now, she was only disappointed, "Ms. Liao, I thought we had a tacit understanding that the child we had worked so hard for four years to find would be yours." If you don’t have any preference, you still have to maintain a superficial appearance.”
"But how are you behaving? Are your actions a little calm and dignified like your legitimate wife? Are you worthy of your step-grandfather's entrustment, and worthy of your step-grandfather's war abroad?"
Perhaps because of the mention of her husband Jiang Jizu, Jiang Liao felt stunned for a moment.
"As a biological mother, she gave out a gift of fifty taels of silver, which is inferior to that of uncles and aunts, inferior to cousins, and she even withholds the gifts from her elder brother to her younger sister. Mr. Liao, what do you want me to say about you? Do you still look like a mother?" Mrs. Jiang raised her voice.
Jiang Liao came to her senses, her eyes suddenly turned red, she stood up staggeringly, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"Do you look like a grandmother? How do you treat Cheng Huan? How is the girl you have raised for eleven years different from your biological daughter? You must let others know that she is an adopted daughter. She is a fake. A good child is so thin. Bones, I almost lost my life.”
"The Jiang family is so big. The Jiang family is not short of money. Wouldn't it be good to have one more daughter? Whose way is it to have one more legitimate daughter? Why hurt her just because there is no blood relationship? What kind of wonderful thing is blood relationship? It makes you connect with each other. Eleven years of family affection are all in vain!"
She was hysterical, went crazy several times, and even shed tears when talking about emotional parts.
It can be seen that Jiang Liao really loves Jiang Chenghuan.
Just like Mrs. Jiang loves Jiang Sheng.
"You can hurt Chenghuan for your biological granddaughter, but I can also turn a blind eye to her. What's more, she disowns me as her mother first. Where did I go wrong? Where did I go wrong!"
Jiang Liao gritted his teeth and questioned.
So, did she treat Jiang Sheng like this to vent her anger on Jiang Chenghuan's behalf?
Mrs. Jiang swayed slightly and closed her eyes.
The road he had paved for Jiang Sheng turned out to be a stumbling block for Jiang Sheng. Only he knew the mixed feelings in his heart.
"Old madam, are you okay?" Tan Yue asked worriedly from the side.
Mrs. Jiang closed her eyes and said nothing.
Jiang Liao didn't know whether she was happy or sneered sarcastically, "I know my mother has a strong temper, and she can tell it no matter how much she makes excuses, so I don't do face-saving work. If I don't like it, I don't like it. If I can't do it, I can't do it. I will be rude to anyone who treats my Chenghuan badly in the future!"
On the surface, this is a falling out between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law over their beloved children.
This is not the case.
"Ms. Liao." Mrs. Jiang's voice was much older, "When you were so angry for Cheng Huan, did you ever think that Jiang Sheng was the child you gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy?"
Even Jiang Chengyuan knew how to make amends, knew how to treat everyone equally, and knew that both of them were sisters.
Mr. Liao, do you regard both of them as daughters?
Mrs. Jiang opened her eyes and seemed to have made up her mind, "You always want to protect Cheng Huan, and I always want to protect Jiang Sheng. I knew you would be partial, and I didn't even expect you to take care of her and make up for it. I just hope you can save your face." Do a good job, I just hope you will be a mother who has no merits and no faults."
"Just because there are things I don't want to say doesn't mean I don't know."
"Ms. Liao, do you want me to find Jiang Chenghuan's blood relatives?"
A fleeting word was enough to make Jiang Liao's smile disappear and his face turn pale.
"In other words, if you call your in-laws here, or your step-grandfather's brother-in-law who lingers in the brothel, you have to let other people's father and daughter meet and reunite their blood relatives."
Mrs. Jiang's face was expressionless and her tone was indifferent, "Or maybe we can talk about how Jiang Sheng was lost back then, whether it was your mother-in-law of the Liao family who hugged her, and who gave the order."
The... mother-in-law of the Liao family...
All the maids and servants in the main courtyard were kneeling on the ground. Even Tan Yue looked pale and trembling.
What secrets did they hear? Do they still have a chance to survive?
Jiang Liao was the most hasty. She took a few steps back without anyone to help her, and fell directly to the ground.
"Mother, I didn't...no." She squeezed out the words through her teeth, "No..."
But I just can't speak a complete sentence.
Mrs. Jiang looked at her condescendingly, "I shouldn't have any expectations for you. You are too ungrateful, Mrs. Liao. I will only make an exchange with you. If you want your beloved niece to live well, then seriously act as a fair person." Mother-in-law."
"Don't forget, it's still the child you gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy."
After saying this, Mrs. Jiang turned and left with Tan Yue.
Liujiang Liao clenched her fists, trembling and struggling, "No, no...no..."
Suddenly there was an exclamation outside the main courtyard.
It was Tan Yue, shocked but cautious, "Eldest Young Master, why are you here?"
Jiang Chengyuan is here?
How much did he hear?
Jiang Liao got up in a hurry, staggered to the door of the courtyard, but only saw a fallen long knife.
There was no sign of anyone else.
