Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune
Chapter 87 Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages
Qingshi Town.
Behind the county government office, there was a new residence called the Jiang Mansion.
It was bought a month ago, and people have only just moved in.
It is said that the woman who moved in was the concubine of a high-ranking official in the capital.
There was no housewarming celebration, and no one came to congratulate them.
They moved in rather sheepishly.
The day of the move was spectacular.
From masters to servants, everyone was soaking wet…
They looked like they had crawled out of a cesspool.
Qi Caiwei curled up on the bed, trembling.
Gritting my teeth with hatred.
She had bathed countless times, and her snow-white skin was red from rubbing.
Yet, a faint, unpleasant odor could still be detected.
"Madam, this old servant will go and fetch a doctor to examine you!" Mei Gu felt sorry for her as she saw her trembling.
Her master was clearly not cold; he was terrified.
"You're not allowed to go!" Qi Caiwei's voice trembled slightly.
Despite the sweltering heat, she was shivering with cold!
After drinking a large bowl of ginger soup, she finally recovered, but she still clung tightly to the bedding, her fingers turning white from gripping it so tightly.
She was unwilling to accept it, and she couldn't understand it...
Even though Lu Qingyao has become a discarded woman and the daughter of a disgraced official, how can she still be so arrogant?
How could he still enter the Cui family's gate?
She is not reconciled!
"Aunt Mei, have you asked around and found out who those two scoundrels were today, and why they were so arrogant?"
Could it be that Lu Qingyao bribed those two unruly servants?
Or perhaps it was a case of a treacherous servant deceiving his master; the old tutor and his wife had no idea she had been to the Cui residence, and the servants had not informed them at all.
But upon hearing Anita Mui's reply, she gave up hope.
"Madam, we've asked the neighbors. The man is Grand Tutor Cui's personal bodyguard, and the woman is from Old Madam Cui's household. They usually accompany the two elders when they go out..."
Qi Caiwei's heart sank.
Without even putting on her shoes, she got out of bed to pack her things. "Aunt Mei, quickly pack your bags. We're leaving Qing Shi Town first thing tomorrow morning...we have to leave before dawn..."
She has lost face in Qing Shi Town, and it is now impossible for her to see Grand Tutor Cui again.
She had to get out of here quickly...
"Madam, what should we do with this house? Are we going to sell it?" Mei Gu hurriedly picked up her shoes and chased after them.
She rarely saw her young mistress so flustered.
This humiliation was a great blow to her.
Although the young lady was born out of wedlock, she was pampered and raised by the head of the family.
I've never encountered anything like this before!
Qi Caiwei stamped her foot and stood there. "Why sell the house? This is my husband's house, the Jiang family's house... I want the whole of Qing Shi Town to know that anyone can live in the Jiang family's house, except for Lu Qingyao, the legal wife."
This house was originally bought for his son.
Originally, I thought that if Grand Tutor Cui took Pei'er in and kept her in Qing Shi Town, she would have a place to stay and servants to attend to her.
After this uproar, there's absolutely no need for them to stay.
As for the house, it would only cost a hundred or so taels of silver, but if it could embarrass Lu Qingyao, she would feel that the money was well spent.
A hundred or so taels, which was the amount of money she spent on a set of jewelry.
For Lu Qingyao now, it would probably take several years to earn that much...
The thought of her looking so poor and shabby today instantly made me feel much better!
Then he changed his mind again.
"Let's not leave tomorrow, let's go to Taoxi Village instead."
Mei Gu shivered.
Sending the money would be enough; why bother making the trip yourself?
Jiang Zijin was unhappy.
She hadn't even opened her bag; she had no intention of lingering here.
"Mother, let's not go to Taoxi Village, let's go back to the capital... If not the capital, Jiangzhou is fine too, why do we have to suffer this humiliation here?"
Jiang Zipei chimed in, "Yes, Mother! I don't want to become an apprentice, and I don't want to study here. Let's go back; this place is dirty and ugly..."
Qi Caiwei glared at the siblings, "What do you know?"
"Do you know why your father was impeached and reprimanded by His Majesty?"
“Because he allowed his concubine to kill his son…which means he allowed you to kill your elder brother and second elder brother…” Jiang Zipei blurted out in a daze.
Then, very quickly, her mother smacked her on the forehead.
Jiang Zijin sighed softly. Isn't it obvious?
The censor's memorial clearly states it; her mother is trying to deceive the child again!
But that only works on my younger brother.
"Pei'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Who told you that?" Qi Caiwei looked at her silly son speechlessly.
Jiang Zipei said awkwardly, "Grandmother said so..."
Qi Caiwei cursed inwardly...
That old hag has spoiled her children.
"Your grandmother is lying. She embezzled the money your father gave to your eldest uncle and even had him beaten up. That's why your father was impeached. It's all her fault..."
She only found out by overhearing Jiang Yunze and his mother talking.
My mother-in-law was, after all, a countrywoman from a rural background, and her knowledge was limited.
He caused his own son to be impeached, demoted, and branded with the infamy of ingratitude, all without realizing it.
Foolish country bumpkin!
Jiang Zipei was stunned. Wasn't her father her grandmother's biological son? How could he harm him?
He scratched his head, unable to figure it out no matter what.
Jiang Zijin's lips twitched.
She also found her grandmother's face utterly repulsive.
But in my previous life, there was no such thing as my father being impeached.
After Lu Qingyao and her two older brothers died, her mother was elevated to the position of legal wife and became the true matriarch of the Jiang family...
After my maternal grandfather retired and returned to his hometown, my father became the Minister of Rites through his recommendation.
She herself became the eldest daughter of the Minister's family.
He then became the princess's study companion.
Then she entered the Eastern Palace.
She met the Crown Prince and became his consort.
She naturally became the empress...
All the best.
But in this life.
Everything has changed; nothing is going according to plan!
No, she must go back to the capital.
We have to go back!
"Mother, you shouldn't get involved in what Grandmother did. You're already too busy taking care of yourself, why bother with such trivial matters?"
Qi Caiwei didn't like hearing that.
"What trivial matter! Your father instructed me to go to your uncle and ask for a handwritten letter to prove that what the censor said was unfounded, so that your father can be reinstated..."
Jiang Zijin felt that her mother was being too naive.
Those censors were clearly doing this intentionally, acting under orders; they could turn white into black.
Father's reinstatement won't be that easy...
But her mother's personality is such that she's a bit stubborn and inflexible...
They won't turn back until they hit a brick wall.
"Mother, what do you want to do?"
Qi Caiwei gained confidence instantly when she saw her daughter's support.
"I'm planning to give this house to your uncle in your father's name. He might be so happy that he'll write the letter!"
The key point is that this will also alienate Lu Qingyao from her cousin's family.
After all, there aren't many people who would rather live in a small, dilapidated house than live in a big mansion.
"Alright, Mother. If you really want to go, then make sure you do it properly. Not only should you give them the house, but you should also pay back the hundred taels of silver you owe your eldest uncle's family. Only then will your good deed be considered complete!"
Jiang Zijin raised her small face, looking as if she had everything under control.
It's not enough to just put on a show; it has to be done properly.
"We also need to send some cloth and rice..."
Although Qi Caiwei had a lot of money, she couldn't bear to waste it like this.
"What? Not only do you want the house, but you also want a hundred taels of silver! And cloth and rice too!"
They simply assumed it was their daughter's innocent remark.
"Jin'er, you don't think your mother's money grows on trees, do you?"
Jiang Zijin's face was serious. "Mother, I'm not joking with you. If we want to restore Father's reputation, we have to be sincere. And we have to let everyone know that what happened before was done by Grandmother behind your and Father's backs, and you were completely unaware..."
"And you, on behalf of Father, have come to personally visit Uncle and apologize to them..."
Qi Caiwei nodded unconsciously, "What you said makes some sense!"
Jiang Zijin continued, "It's also good to let everyone know that you are the matriarch of the Jiang family, and that woman is nothing..."
In that case, the woman and her family will probably have a hard time in the village from now on.
After all, people are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm.
She was absolutely certain of this.
Qi Caiwei looked at her daughter in astonishment.
These words actually came from her eight-year-old daughter!
She felt that her daughter had become a completely different person after the New Year; at such a young age, she had the mature and composed demeanor of an old man.
The innocence and naivety of a young girl have completely vanished...
This made her feel somewhat unfamiliar and uneasy.
But she also felt that her daughter's words made a lot of sense, and many of them were things she hadn't thought of.
She nodded.
"Jin'er, let's do it your way!"
