Rebirth of the group's pet poisonous concubine, the violent and cold king is too tempting
Chapter 73 Caught off guard
Jiang Hongtai didn't expect that before Mrs. Jiang had even spoken, Yuan Peishan was the first to stand up and refute him. This was simply not taking him, the head of the family, seriously.
He immediately looked at Yuan Peishan and said in a firm tone, "Whether you agree or not, I am determined to marry Fang! You will not be allowed to refute!"
"Jiang Hongtai! How could you humiliate me like this! I won't live anymore! Wuwu..."
Seeing Jiang Hongtai's serious look, Yuan Peishan felt a chill in her heart. Faced with Jiang Hongtai's toughness, she had no choice but to sit on the ground and roll around and throw a tantrum.
"How dare you, as the wife of the principal house, act like a spoiled brat. How can you behave like that?"
Madam Jiang was furious, and then she looked at Jiang Hongtai seriously and asked, "Are you sure you want to marry Fang as your co-wife?"
Originally, Jiang Hongtai was just blinded by jealousy, but now, after being disturbed by Yuan Peishan's disturbance, he instantly sobered up. However, in front of so many people, he had already said what he wanted to say, so he naturally could not go back on his word. He immediately nodded and agreed:
"That's right, mother. I ruined Fang's reputation and now she's been divorced. I couldn't bear to see a weak woman like her wandering around, so I had to find her a place to stay. I never thought that my drunken behavior would lead to such a disaster. Now that Fang is pregnant with my child, I naturally can't abandon them. I hope mother will grant my wish!"
Old Madam Jiang's eyes darkened slightly. She was extremely disappointed with Jiang Hongtai. She really didn't expect that Jiang Hongtai was such a lovesick man who would disregard the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. However, this matter was easier to handle.
"Just for her, you're willing to throw away the reputation of the Duke Dingguo Mansion? Is that right?"
Listening to Madam Jiang's words, Jiang Hongtai's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he believed that Madam Jiang would not do anything to him, it was difficult for him to answer such a question.
Seeing him so hesitant, Fang couldn't help but tug at his clothes slightly, her eyes full of helplessness!
Jiang Hongtai looked down at Fang's panicked expression and couldn't help but pat her hands to comfort her. Then he looked at Old Madam Jiang and said solemnly:
"Mother, the Duke Dingguo Mansion has a century-old foundation that is as stable as Mount Tai, and Fang Shi has nothing but her son. If her son abandons her, she's afraid she won't be able to survive!"
Jiang Hongtai knew that Madam Jiang had always been a sentimental person. Otherwise, she would not have given up her own life and resolutely married into the Duke's Mansion to take care of Jiang Mingxuan's daily life just to see the young Jiang Mingxuan without support. What he said would surely resonate with her, and Jiang Mingxuan was also a sentimental person, so she would definitely support him.
Jiang Hongtai's idea was good, but he didn't know that Jiang Hongtai's romantic affairs were already spreading throughout Kyoto. No matter where Jiang Mingxuan went, he could hear people talking about it, and the comments were very contemptuous. At this time, he was too embarrassed to see anyone outside and could only return to the mansion in disgrace.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never been so embarrassed. He couldn't help but feel resentful towards Jiang Hongtai. There were thousands of daughters from good families in this world. He really couldn't understand why Jiang Hongtai had a special liking for Fang!
At this moment, his dislike for Jiang Hongtai reached its highest point, and he immediately thought of finding him to ask for clarification. After all, the reputation of the Duke Dingguo Mansion could not tolerate such smearing.
When he arrived at Guiyan Hall with the people arranged by Old Madam Ye, Jiang Mingxuan couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw Jiang Hongtai being so cautious towards Fang. If he hadn't seen the relationship between the two with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Jiang Hongtai was such a sentimental person.
Seeing Jiang Mingxuan come in, Jiang Hongtai's eyes lit up. He believed that Jiang Mingxuan would definitely stand on his side and think about him. At that moment, he felt confident and said firmly to Madam Jiang, "I am an unfilial son and have failed my mother's expectations. I can't watch them die! I hope my mother will grant my wish!"
Listening to Jiang Hongtai's heartfelt words, Jiang Mingxuan couldn't help but frown. Without waiting for Madam Jiang's reply, he asked directly, "For the Fang family, are you willing to abandon the reputation of the Duke Dingguo Mansion?"
Yuan Hongtai naturally understood Jiang Mingxuan's character thoroughly and knew how to answer him in a way that would resonate with him the most. He immediately looked at Jiang Mingxuan and said sincerely, "Brother! Fang is pregnant with my child. How can I abandon her? I hope you will grant my wish!"
"Okay, okay! Since you love her so deeply, I naturally don't want to be the bad guy who breaks you up, but the reputation of the Duke's Mansion cannot be trampled upon. Now that we have a disagreement, let's put the matter of separation on the agenda!
After all, when my father passed away, these things should have been dealt with. It was because I couldn't bear to see the Jiang family fall apart that I persisted until now. Now that you insist so much, then it's up to you!"
When Jiang Mingxuan thought about others pointing fingers at him, he became even more determined. He couldn't just watch the reputation of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion being ruined in his own hands.
Jiang Mingxuan's words caught Jiang Hongtai off guard. He was completely shocked. He couldn't believe that Jiang Mingxuan would say such a thing. Shouldn't he feel honored that he was so kind and loyal?
Why did he suddenly think of splitting up the family? If he split up the family now, wouldn't everything he had done over the years be in vain? This was absolutely unacceptable. Jiang Hongtai looked at Jiang Mingxuan and said anxiously, "Brother, this is absolutely not possible now! Mother is still alive. There is no way we can talk about splitting up the family!"
Old Madam Jiang listened to Jiang Mingxuan's words, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. You know, she had this idea a long time ago, but because of the deep affection between the two brothers, it was difficult for her to intervene. Now that Jiang Mingxuan brought it up himself, it was exactly what she wanted.
"I'm old now, and I don't know how long I can live! Second brother, you don't have to worry about me so much. You are blood relatives. Even if your bones are broken, you are still connected by tendons. Even if you separate and set up your own households, the relationship between you cannot be severed! This matter is settled. I will ask the elders to prepare the relevant matters in a while, so that we can come up with a charter as soon as possible!"
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Jiang Hongtai couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He looked at Old Madam Jiang and said, "Mother, my third brother hasn't come back yet. We have already discussed the matter of dividing the family and setting up a household. I don't know if he will agree. Why don't we wait for him to come back and then we can discuss it in detail? What do you think, mother?"
"Don't bother with that! Mother, my husband is away from home all year round, and he has given full authority to his daughter-in-law to make the decisions regarding the third room. Just listen to your mother on this matter!"
