Chapter 21 Meeting Uncle 1's Family
In Jiang Nianwei's memory, her father was exiled and this family was not a good bunch.
It was mentioned in the plot that the great uncle Jiang Shen's family lived in Tongzhou. Since the rise of Jiang Yan, the family's glory has reappeared, and the fate of the Jiang family has also undergone earth-shaking changes. They began to show off their power and majesty. However, Jiang Yan knew nothing about this and thought that he was implicated by him, so he had to persuade his father to be careful of this family.
"Aunt, the roads are slippery on snowy days, please be careful. It doesn't matter if you fall, but please don't hurt dad."
Shen Xiangdi's sharp tongue never spared anyone. She curled her lips and said tartly, "Child, why do you say such unpleasant things? Haven't you already married into the Marquis's Mansion and become the envied Marquis's wife? How come I heard that you were divorced and exiled with him? The most important thing for us women is to please men. Look at you, which man would like your personality? No wonder you were divorced."
Jiang Nianwei refuted calmly, "Aunt, your statement seems a bit biased. Qin Ziqian and I divorced amicably, not because he divorced me. Besides, his current situation is probably even more difficult than our Jiang family's. Why should I try to please a man like him?"
Shen Xiangdi rolled her eyes at her awkwardly, "After all, you still don't have a man to rely on."
In her previous life, Jiang Nianwei had no interaction with her great uncle's family. But now she saw that he had a family, a wife, Shen Xiangdi, and two concubines. She felt a headache when she saw their family.
Jiang Shen had been troubled by the noise made by these women along the way and his face had already become haggard.
At this moment, when he saw his younger brother Jiang Shen, a hint of blame appeared in his eyes.
"Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan, why did you do such a thing and implicate my whole family? Otherwise, we would still be living a good life in Tongzhou. Why would we have to endure such suffering?"
His other five concubines would not run away and leave a mess behind.
Jiang Shen blamed all the blame on his brother, but never thought that if he had not behaved improperly, Jiang Yan's political enemies would not have had the opportunity to impeach him.
The uncle's children started to sneer as soon as they saw Jiang Lanxu, "They used to praise you for being so outstanding, but now you have ended up like us, being exiled here."
Jiang Lanxu just frowned. He usually didn't argue with others, and the current situation was indeed like this, so he didn't answer.
Jiang Mian, the cousin who was standing by, talked to Qiu Meixue. She sighed softly, as if she was expressing regret: "Cousin, you are actually pregnant. It is really a pity. Once this child is born, he is destined to be a poor person with a crime and will have to struggle in hardship. I see your belly is round and full, but it doesn't look like a sign of a boy. It's more like a girl. In such a situation, you actually insisted on giving birth to the child. It's really heartbreaking."
Although those words seemed gentle and soft on the surface, they actually contained sarcasm. Qiu Meixue was not a stupid person and could naturally detect the meaning behind them.
Jiang Lanxu felt unhappy when he heard this. Regardless of the gender of the child, they should be equally cherished and respected. "Boys and girls are both treasures of their parents, without distinction. Mei Xue has indeed endured a lot of hardships. I, Jiang Lanxu, will protect her well. You don't need to worry about it."
Jiang Mian covered his mouth and chuckled, mockingly saying, "You can't even protect yourself, and you're still protecting her."
Seeing that her brother was struggling in the verbal battle with her cousin, Jiang Nianwei took the initiative to stop him. "My cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time. I see that your originally white skin has become darker, your waist has become thicker, and your mouth has become more vicious. You must have suffered a lot on this journey, right? You have so many things to worry about, so you should take care of yourself first! As for my eldest brother's family affairs, that is his private matter. What does it have to do with you? Why do you have to waste your breath to point fingers at my eldest brother's life?"
Jiang Mian was speechless after hearing these words and was secretly surprised that her cousin who seemed like a fool on weekdays was now so eloquent that she was caught off guard.
Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she couldn't help but refute: "If it weren't for your family's affairs, how could I end up in such a situation and suffer so much."
"I'm afraid you know the cause and effect better than I do. Your father was also responsible for my father's impeachment. Your family was exiled, and it was not unjust."
Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Jiang Mian could only return to his mother in shame. The two of them whispered to each other, seemingly discussing Jiang Nianwei.
The cousin Jiang Hao was even more lewd. He came over with a wink and chattered, "Cousin, you brought maids with you when you were exiled. You are really a wealthy family, very impressive. Look at these two maids, they are so pretty, even prettier than my maid. Why don't you give me one, hehe."
Jiang Hao glanced at Taozhi and Chunyu, both of them felt a strong discomfort.
Jiang Nianwei immediately protected the two of them behind her, "They are no longer maids, they are family members, not someone a fat pig like you can get involved with."
When Jiang Hao heard this, his face turned red.
He turned his head aggrievedly and threw himself into his mother's arms, "Mom, look at Jiang Nianwei, she actually called me a fat pig!"
Jiang Hao was not just fat, but his entire temperament was extremely terrible, and his shifty eyes were always staring at the women passing by.
But Jiang Nianwei knew that this cousin was best at pretending to be crazy and stupid.
Shen Xiangdi frowned, looked at Jiang Nianwei with dissatisfaction, and said contemptuously: "They are just two maids, what's the big deal. Back then, our Hao'er had more than a dozen maids serving in his yard. You guys really think you are some great people? Besides, Hao'er is your cousin, we are all from the same family. How can you be so narrow-minded? I'm afraid you are as narrow-minded as someone else."
Shen Xiangdi's eyes involuntarily glanced at Jing Qiudie. The two of them had always been at odds with each other at home. After setting up their own business, Jing Qiudie had lived a fairly comfortable life. Now, encountering this weird Shen Xiangdi, she was very angry.
Jing Qiudie said angrily: "Don't think that you can hide your hidden meaning from me. I know very well who used those despicable means. Look at your children, they are just a replica of you!"
The other party didn't care, and a smug smile appeared on his lips: "What's wrong with someone as smart as me?"
Jing Qiudie sneered, her tone full of disdain: "Humph, I think they are more like you, full of cunningness and no manners at all!"
The conversation between the two was full of gunpowder, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
And this uncle Jiang Shen sat on Jiang Yan's bedding without any hesitation and lay down on his side, "This is the treatment for exile."
Jiang Yan remembered the kindness of this elder brother who saved his life when he was a child, so he let him go without stopping him.
Chen Xiangdi rummaged through their clothes without hesitation, "Hey, you guys are from the capital, how come you don't even have a piece of thick, new-style clothing? This outfit is a little too shabby!"
Jiang Nianwei couldn't suppress the anger in her heart after hearing her words. She pulled Jiang Lanxu over and together, they drove the family out like ducks. "This is where our family lives. If you want to live in such a clean and spacious room, please bribe the police!"
Jiang Shen was pushed out of the door, staggered and almost fell.
He held his waist with one hand and cried out, "How can you be so ignorant, kid! I am your great uncle, how can you treat me like this? Jiang Yan, look at the good daughter you taught, how dare she be so rude!"
Jiang Yan wanted to speak up to stop her, but was frightened by Jing Qiudie's look and dared not speak again.
"We have always been kind to your brother and his family, and have never treated them badly. If they knew how to be content and abide by their duties, that would be fine. However, they are so ignorant and their actions are really disgusting. This is the place that Lixuan fought for for us, and they have made it a mess."
Jiang Yan sighed helplessly, with a hint of guilt in his eyes. Fortunately, he was a henpecked husband, so he finally chose to obey his wife.
Jiang Nianwei was afraid that he had some grudges in his heart, so she comforted him, "Dad, you have never treated my uncle's family harshly on weekdays, and you have helped them enough. I have heard that my uncle has a very bad reputation in Tongzhou. You don't have to feel guilty towards them. They are also responsible for your current situation. You can only say that it is your own fault."
"Nianwei, I understand." My father's voice was a little vicissitudes of life. "I am not old and my eyesight is blurry. I know right from wrong. But your uncle once saved my life. I can't turn a blind eye to them."
Jiang Nianwei felt strange when her father mentioned this. This uncle had always been competitive and indifferent to her father, never showing any concern. It was incredible that he risked his life to save him. Could there be another hidden story? But she could only slowly explore it later and persuade her father.
……
Shen Xiangdi originally had some expectations for her husband, hoping that he could change.
But as time went by, these expectations had long since vanished, and all hopes were placed on the two children.
Ever since she married into the Jiang family and became Jiang Shen's wife, she had already seen the true face of this man - he was extremely dissolute, indulging in alcohol and sex all day long, and had no ambition at all.
Thinking back to the time when her family betrothed her to Jiang Yan, Shen Xiangdi couldn't help but feel a little moved.
At that time, Jiang Yan was not favored at home. He was idle all day long and made no achievements.
As the eldest son, Jiang Shen was destined to inherit the family business. In order to help him, his family chose the eldest daughter of a wealthy merchant as his fiancée.
In Shen Xiangdi's eyes, Jiang Shen is undoubtedly a candidate who suits her better.
She used some tricks to hook up with Jiang Shen. Shen Xiangdi used some seductive tricks and easily climbed into his bed.
Three months later, she announced to the Jiang family that she was pregnant. Although it was not glorious, she got to marry Jiang Shen as she wished.
When Jing Qiudie heard that her fiancé was so absurd, she went to the Jiang family and made a scene, causing chaos in the Jiang residence. However, she finally chose to marry Jiang Yan.
Who knew that things would change? After Jiang Yan married Jing Qiudie, he passed the imperial examination and became a Tanhua (third place in the imperial examination). He was highly valued and went to the capital.
On the other hand, she has been struggling in the trivial disputes in the backyard over the years, fighting wits and courage with the concubines, and her energy has almost been exhausted.
However, all this seemed insignificant in Jiang Shen's eyes. He even took a watching attitude towards it and enjoyed it.
At that moment, she began to feel regretful.
If I had chosen Jiang Yan at the beginning, would I not have to live like this?
Seeing Jiang Yan rising step by step to a high position in the government, and seeing Jing Qiudie, who came from a merchant family, suddenly becoming the envied wife of an important official, jealousy burned in her heart.
That position was supposed to belong to her.
Until her property was confiscated and she was exiled here, when she saw Jiang Yan again, she became more and more disgusted with Jiang Shen beside her.
At least she won one thing in the struggle in the harem. Except for the two children she gave birth to, the other concubines had never given birth to any children. Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on her two children.
Jiang Mian complained dissatisfiedly: "Mom, Jiang Nianwei is really stingy. We just gave them some things, but she drove us out directly. It's so cold here. Do we really have to sleep in the cowshed?"
"Just be patient for a moment, we will get what we want soon." A gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
As night fell and the wind was howling outside, Jiang Shen's family huddled in a simple woodshed, which had been arranged before they could live there.
Shen Xiangdi handed a pill to Jiang Shen and asked him to take it.
Jiang Shen took the pill and couldn't help but sighed: "Madam, you are always so considerate. Over the years, you not only take care of the household affairs, but also worry about my old health all the time."
Shen Xiangdi smiled slightly and said gently: "Master, what are you talking about? These are what I should do."
Jiang Shen swallowed the pill without hesitation. Soon, a blush appeared on his face. He wanted to put his arm around Shen Xiangdi, but she politely refused. "Master, I am old and ugly now. Since there are two concubines accompanying you in the mansion, you should go find them."
"You are virtuous and considerate, unlike them who are always jealous."
In a moment, Jiang Shen hugged his aunt, and an unbearable sound came from the room behind him.
Shen Xiangdi sneered, "Just abuse your own body!"
She couldn't wait to wish Jiang Shen would die of a stroke immediately, so that she could stay by Jiang Yan's side with a legitimate reason and no longer have to endure this unnecessary anger.
If she had chosen Jiang Yan at the beginning, could she have had such a wholehearted friendship?
Shen Xiangdi is now in her twilight years, but she still has to pave the way for her children. She believes that Jiang Yan will one day be valued by the court again.
As she was thinking this, a cold wind blew and made her shiver. Fortunately, she was prepared in time. She sold her jewelry along the way to bribe the officers, and she managed to arrive here safely, taking care of her children.
Judging from Jiang Yan's current situation, which is much better than theirs, she is determined to take back everything that originally belonged to her. Even if she goes to exile, she will cling to Jiang Yan tightly.
As for his children, Shen Xiangdi thought they were very easy to deal with and nothing to be afraid of.
Although Jiang Nianwei drove them out of the room, she still saw her uncle and his family every now and then.
Nanny Liu carefully prepared a pot of nourishing soup, intending to send it to Qiu Meixue to help her recover her strength.
Jiang Mian happened to see this scene. Her eyes lit up and she walked forward quickly. Smelling the tempting aroma, she said to Aunt Liu, "Aunt, your tonic soup is good, but it should be taken in moderation. My cousin is pregnant now. If she takes too much tonic, the baby will grow too big and it will be troublesome when she gives birth. In my opinion, leave this soup for me to drink."
"If you are craving for that delicious soup, why not cook it yourself? This bowl of soup was carefully prepared by me for the young lady. The third lady also said that this soup is nourishing and beautiful, and it is okay to drink more."
"In that case, why not stew some more?"
After saying that, Jiang Mian picked up the bowl and drank the nourishing soup in one gulp. It tasted so delicious that she even felt like she wanted more.
Nanny Liu was extremely angry. She spoke politely, but Jiang Mian pretended not to understand her and even cursed Qiu Xuemei for a difficult childbirth. She was really outspoken.
Jiang Hao hit a wall many times and was unable to get close to the two maids beside Jiang Nianwei, but he refused to change his bad habits, so his attention began to turn to Abei.
Although Abei is dressed like a man, his face is delicate and is no less beautiful than that of a great beauty.
While Abei was taking a nap, Jiang Hao quietly approached him, then suddenly stretched out his arms from behind, trying to hug Abei in his arms.
Although Abei's injuries have not healed, his strength has recovered a lot.
He felt a strange breath coming from behind him, and suddenly a sense of alertness surged in his heart.
Without any hesitation, he turned around, clenched his fists, and hit Jiang Hao's arm hard.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, Jiang Wei's arm was instantly broken by Abei's fist.
