Old Madam Qi was extremely satisfied when she saw Jiang Luo, who was calm and composed from beginning to end. The admiration in her eyes was about to overflow.
If only she had such a smart granddaughter... When the old lady thought of this, her eyes suddenly dimmed.
Unfortunately, she won't have it.
All this is thanks to that bitch named Qin.
She glanced at Madam Jiang behind them, hatred in her eyes, and thought to herself: This bitch has left me alone and helpless, so I will make her suffer for the rest of her life...
Old Madam Qi regained her former fighting spirit. Seeing Qin's rogue behavior, which was quite similar to that of Old Madam Jiang back then, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of sneer at the corner of her mouth.
She sneered, "Tsk tsk... The little girl ran away in a hurry, and you said she didn't know etiquette. The third young lady was rude when she came late, and you said it was because of her. Now people explain the cause and effect to you clearly and logically. You have nothing to say, and you want to die in front of your ancestors..."
"Hey, if I were the ancestors of the Duke's Mansion, I would crawl out of my grave and ask Jiang Zhou to divorce you, a hypocritical and ignorant woman." After she said that, she glanced at Madam Jiang opposite her with deep meaning.
As soon as Mrs. Qi finished speaking, everyone present shut up.
Even Qin was stunned.
She had never been scolded so bluntly before. This old hag was not only unlucky for her aunt, but also for her.
Why on earth did she come back?
Doesn't she like quietness? Why did she come back to the Duke's Mansion? Why didn't she die on that mountain...
Fortunately, she was in the Duke's Mansion today, and she could still control the people in front of her. If she was outside the mansion, wouldn't the words of this old woman send Qin to the eighteenth level of purgatory? The reputation she had accumulated for more than ten years was over.
It's really abominable and hateful...
Old Madam Jiang did not notice the look in Old Madam Qi's eyes, but when she heard the word "divorce", her eyes rolled up in anger and she almost fainted.
She immediately let go of Jiang Yin's shoulders and walked towards Old Lady Qi, muttering, "Who do you think you are... Divorce my wife, you..."
However, her legs and feet were not nimble enough, and Liu discovered her intention. Liu quickly gave Jiang Miao a look, and the two of them carried her to the side, one on each side.
Oh my God, these two are almost our ancestors, they can’t fight.
Jiang Zhou looked at the messy house and immediately felt a headache.
One was his aunt who had been awarded a chastity memorial by the late emperor, so he dared not speak of her. The other was his biological mother, so he could not speak of her either.
What seemed to be a matter between two young daughters suddenly turned into a matter between two elders.
Hey……
Jiang Yin, who was standing by, saw that Old Lady Qi not only scolded her mother, but also wanted her father to divorce his wife. Thinking that all this was caused by Jiang Luo, she immediately glared at Jiang Luo in anger.
Jiang Luo just glanced at her lightly and then looked away.
Old Madam Qi swept her sharp eyes over the people in front of her, especially Jiang Zhou.
He thought to himself: Although his elder brother had won the title of Duke for his military exploits, his family was poor after all. By the time it came to his useless son, the family was already in decline. Alas...
Jiang Zhou felt a little embarrassed when she stared at him, so he looked at her for help.
Old Mrs. Qi looked at the nephew in front of her, who didn't look like her brother's nephew at all, and she didn't feel the slightest bit of softness in her heart.
She glanced at Madam Jiang and Qin, then turned to look at Jiang Luo and asked, "Little girl, my great aunt believes you. If you have anything else to say, just say it. If your father doesn't want to send someone to investigate, I will."
Hearing this, Jiang Luo smiled sweetly at her, as if he was going to continue investigating: "Luo'er, thank you, Grandma, for making the decision for me."
Qin was a little flustered when she heard this. She looked at Jiang Zhou for help. Jiang Zhou had no good way to end this farce, so he could only scold Jiang Luo: "It's groundless, what's there to investigate? Jiang Luo, are you going to be disobedient and unfilial?"
Jiang Yin knew something about Lin Wen, but she had always kept it to herself and never mentioned a word about it.
Because she knew that only if Jiang Luo married Lin Wen could she legitimately replace Jiang Luo, fulfill the marriage contract between the Duke's Mansion and the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, and marry her beloved brother Xun.
As long as it was about her and Ling Xun, she always kept her mouth shut.
Now that she heard that she was going to investigate the matter, she became a little anxious.
The tribesmen standing by took in their expressions and roughly understood what was going on, but still no one would speak for Jiang Luo.
Just when everyone was getting anxious, Jiang Luo said, "Since father doesn't want us to investigate, then let's not investigate."
Jiang Zhou was relieved to see that she was so well-behaved and obedient, and nodded.
Qin was truly relieved.
Jiang Yin was a little unconvinced, but she didn't dare to say anything more, and just walked towards Old Madam Jiang.
Everyone thought it was over, but then they heard that cold voice: "Although mother is willing to die in front of our ancestors to prove her innocence, your daughter dare not let you die. How about this, father and mother, in front of my great-aunt and all the elders, promise your daughter one thing. This will not only clear mother's name, but also stop the gossips..."
"Jiang Luo, don't push your luck, you..." Jiang Yin hadn't finished her words when she was glared at by Old Lady Qi, so she swallowed them back: "Little girl, keep talking."
Jiang Luo smiled and nodded at her, and continued, "My daughter only wants my father and mother to promise that no matter what the reason is, as long as I cannot marry into the Ningyang Marquis's mansion to become the Crown Prince's wife, my future marriage will be decided by myself. My father and mother can choose for me, but they must give their approval, and the rest will be the same as before."
She knew that it would be impossible for her to have complete control over the matter.
This is the way the world is. Children are the interests in the hands of their parents, and women are stay-at-home people under the wings of men.
She couldn't be a maverick, she just wanted to buy as much time as possible for her future marriage.
In her previous life, she had been trapped in the backyard, living a life worse than death. In her new life, she didn't want to marry anyone, she just wanted freedom.
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly fell silent.
When Mrs. Qi heard her words, her eyes suddenly turned red. She seemed to see her former self through the graceful little girl in front of her.
If she had been as clear-headed as the little girl in front of her and worked hard to fight for herself, wouldn't she still be alone until now...
Then, someone started a discussion in the room.
"Make the decision yourself? Marriage is a big matter and is decided by parents. How can you make the decision yourself?" someone whispered.
"yes……"
"What can a girl from the boudoir do on her own? That's so shameless." Someone else said angrily.
