Traveling through ancient times.
Chapter 29: Keep the green hills alive
He teaches his son in public and his wife behind her back, so it is not an exaggeration for Ning Jianren to say that he has "no way of disciplining his children".
But Jiang Yizhou's heart was filled with a "screw your daddy" discipline. Besides my parents, who are qualified, other people want to point fingers at her at will? It's nothing.
"Ha ha--"
"Ning Jianren, you are going to lock me up in front of so many people? Are you going to let me go crazy and die suddenly after everyone leaves? Uncle Liu, uncles and aunts, you have seen that Ning Jianren is trying to control me now. While everyone is here, I beg you to bear witness for me. I will only take 500 taels of silver and move out of the Jiang family immediately."
"You take a rest!" He was unwilling to give this woman even a few hundred taels.
"Otherwise, let's report it to the authorities. Anyway, the family scandal has been exposed. It was me, Jiang Yizhou, who misjudged people and gave my true love to the wrong person. I am not afraid of being laughed at. I will ask the official to settle this family affair. By the way, let him carefully interrogate those dogs who set fire to me last night. I believe the government has plenty of ways to make them tell the truth."
"you--"
"Five hundred taels of silver, a carriage, and I'll leave immediately. Son-in-law, you can help my Jiang family run the business in any way you want."
Jiang Yizhou had to give in because this was her only chance to escape from Jiang's house and Ning Jianren.
It’s not that she didn’t want to take back the power of the head of the family, divorce, or even drive the other party out of the Jiang residence, but she simply couldn’t do it now.
The fire last night alone cannot break up their interest groups. Jiang Liu is the youngest son of Jiang Guanjia, and Zhou Da is the nephew of Xu Ma...
These were all from Ning Jianren's side, and she still only had two maids available.
The only ones she could punish were those servants.
Therefore, she can now take advantage of Liu Sichang and several elders to temporarily side with her and escape from this vortex.
Mr. Liu is just a local celebrity. He is here only to bear witness and does not have any legal or compulsory effect.
Now, all the servants and Ning Jianren have formed a collective interest group, together with those shop owners he conquered.
Even if the matter really reaches the government office, at most the "arsonists" will be killed, but it will not shake Ning Jianren's interest group at all.
Ning Jianren only needs to "drag" to show his loyalty to Miss Jiang and the Jiang family, and find some more people to testify and insist on not getting divorced. Who can do anything to him? !
This is similar to those cases of domestic violence and cheating in Jiang Yizhou's original world. They insist on not leaving, and what can you do?
As for Jiang Yizhou, she had no doubt that Ning Jianren would repeat his old tricks once these people left - it was not impossible to let these three women die suddenly.
In ancient times, many women hanged themselves when they were unable to figure out their problem. It is not known how many of them hung the rope around their necks themselves and how many were hanged by others.
Therefore, Jiang Yizhou decided to give the other party some "sweetness". She sent a signal to the other party: I already know your wolfish ambitions, and now I just want to save my life. From now on, this Jiang residence and the Jiang family business will be handed over to you, and I will no longer ask about it. But if you still refuse to give in, then we will fight to the death.
At this moment, Ning Jianren wished he could torture this woman to death and grind her to ashes.
Forget it, since she must leave now, let her do it.
The conditions on that farm were extremely poor, with wild beasts and mosquitoes running rampant, so it was no surprise that anything could happen.
Ning Jianren looked extremely distressed. "Zhou Zhou, I believe that I have treated you like the apple of my eye over the years. This is witnessed by everyone. But you suspected me because you heard the servants' words of discord. It's really chilling."
"I know you were not such an unreasonable person before. Since you insist on going to the manor this time, I will do whatever you want. Don't worry, I will have someone prepare things for you and send you there safely. You go and take good care of your illness. As always, I will do my best to take care of the affairs in the manor and wait for you to come back. I, you, and Yi'an, we are still a loving family."
There was a sigh in the crowd, and someone murmured:
"This son-in-law is really a man of friendship. He can still forgive and tolerate a woman who has gone so crazy."
"This woman is just too much. Tsk tsk, didn't you see that she just scolded her husband like she was scolding a dog? She's not even as good as an outsider. If it were me, I would have slapped her in the face and taught her a lesson as a wife."
"That's right, just wait and see. When the time comes, they will definitely beg to come back."
"Ah, thinking back to the time when Master Jiang was such a prominent figure, he gave birth to such a daughter who has no female virtues. It's really a misfortune for the family."
"..."
Jiang Yizhou ignored the discussions in the crowd, and did not pay attention to Ning Jianren's hypocritical remarks.
She said directly: "I will have someone prepare everything myself. You just need to send me the five hundred taels of silver."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, she added, "Don't tell me that my Jiang family's assets are tens of thousands, and you have only had them for a few months. Now you can't even take out a few hundred taels."
Ning Jianren took a deep breath and ordered Butler Jiang in a cold voice, "Go and get the banknotes as the young lady ordered!"
…Liu Sichang pulled Jiang Yizhou aside and asked, "Jiang's niece, are you really going to draw a line between you and him? Have you thought it through?"
Jiang Yizhou responded seriously: "Uncle Liu, I have thought it through. I didn't die last night because I was lucky and God had mercy on me. But I can't guarantee that I will have such good luck next time."
"You mean, it was really 'him' who did it? If that's the case, we old men will seek justice for you even if we have to lose face."
Jiang Yizhou was very touched that the other party always sided with her during the trial, no matter how she spoke or acted.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Liu. Just like what you just interrogated, I have no evidence. Moreover, he used to blame me for being too trusting and relying on him, which made everyone think that we had a good relationship. Now it has suddenly reversed. If he stirs up public opinion again, it will be very disadvantageous to me. Then I will be even more inseparable."
"But when you get to the village, it's remote and backward, and there's no one to take care of you... Besides, if you leave, it will be difficult to come back in the future."
"I have made up my mind. I really want to thank all of you uncles this time. When I return in glory, I will definitely repay you for your kindness."
...Liu Sichang sighed and said, every family has its own problems, so let her be.
When the time comes, he can have someone visit the farm occasionally and take care of it, which will be considered as repaying the help that Mr. Jiang gave him in the past.
On the other side, Butler Jiang brought the banknotes.
Jiang Yizhou counted the items in front of everyone, and then asked Yunxin and Yucui to pack up all the things in their rooms.
On the other side, Tao Junshan asked Tao Er and Liao Qi to rent a carriage.
Including the Jiang family's carriage, Tao Er and Liao Qi each drove a carriage. Amid the people's concerned, puzzled, or even contemptuous and mocking discussions, they drove out of the Jiang residence and headed towards the unknown distance.
Even most people, including those on Zhan Jiang Yizhou's side, did not understand or approve of her initiative to "give up her position".
I am the real master of the Jiang family, why should I give up my position to them?
If you leave, will there still be a place for you in the Jiang family? No! It can be seen that she is still too impulsive.
Jiang Yizhou wanted to say that what she cared about now was not whether she had a place in the Jiang residence that had been emptied by Ning Jianren and her cousin. She only knew that if she didn't leave, her life would be lost here.
Which is more important, life or false reputation in the eyes of others?
No matter what others think, Jiang Yizhou just wants to save her life now.
Both her body and her golden finger need time.
Yunshan Farm, five hundred taels of silver, two pottery shops, the indentures of a dozen slaves, the land deeds and house deeds of the Jiang family's ancestral home, these were the basis for the "safe haven" that Jiang Yizhou had fought for himself this time.
Just save your life and take your time to figure it out!
