Chapter 119 – Forced to Leave the House
After leaving Ruyi Hall, she left Zhou’s loud cries behind. Jiang Yishi looked at the sun above her head, so brilliant that she closed her eyes, watery mist welling up in her eyes.
The debt that Zhou owed from her previous life was recovered today.
Zhou is no longer in this family, even if he married, even if still lonely, Jiang Xun will not have to worry about his life, right?
Jiang Yishi folded the silver cheque and stuffed it into her purse, then tucked the purse into her bosom. She didn’t go back to the Scorched Courtyard, but walked towards the garden.
The flowers in the garden were still blossoming recklessly, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the swing under the tree swayed in the wind.
Jiang Yishi sat on the swing and gently rocked.
She was just about to fall asleep when Jiang Yirou’s voice came.
“Second sister, you made me look for you.”
Jiang Yirou held the swing rope and squeezed onto the swing. And whispered into Jiang Yirou’s ear, “My father was just called back from the barracks by my grandmother, as if something had happened to my great-uncle mother, coveting a large amount of your dowry …….”
Jiang Yishi said, “I know, she coveted my dowry is a small matter, but also bribery of officials, tampering with the deed, these two is a big deal. If you make a scene, not only will you be beaten, you will also be exiled ……”
Got to reinforce the perception that Zhou was punished not because of dowry greed.
Jiang Yirou was so shocked that her mouth opened wide, her eyes were red, and she was so angry that she pulled her handkerchief.
Jiang Yishi knew that she wasn’t angry that Zhou had committed a major crime, but was afraid that Zhou’s affair would affect the marriage she was talking about. There are already two elders who are interested in Jiang Yirou at the Peach Blossom Banquet, and the third master and his wife are inquiring privately.
Although they didn’t say which two families, but Hua Hua has already heard, respectively surnamed Qin and surnamed Han, not the Wei family in the previous life. The time for the marriage proposal has been brought forward by half a year, so perhaps Jiang Yirou’s fate will be changed.
Jiang Yishi added, “See grandmother and uncle’s meaning, do not want to make a fuss about this matter, I also do not want to make a fuss about the impact of younger siblings, will be disposed of privately ……”
Jiang Yirou breathed another sigh of relief.
The two sisters said a while of whispering, before hand in hand back to their respective yards.
As soon as they returned to the Searing Courtyard, they saw Hua Hua rolling on the ground.
Shui Qing complained, “Girl, I don’t know what kind of madness Hua Hua had, like drunkenness, meowed non-stop, and went up the room and climbed the tree, and now rolled …….”
Hua Hua climbed up and jumped into Jiang Yishi’s arms, meowing, “I heard it, Big Witch Zhou is going to be repudiated, and I won’t be able to see her anymore …… “.
What Hua Hua hates most is not the person who wants to kill her, but the person who calls her ugly.
Jiang Yishi carried the flowers into the house to write a letter, let Shui Ling to Jiang Da, so that Jiang Da tomorrow morning to Huzhuang to find Wu Da Bo to bring back the deed, and on the way to take the flowers to the countryside to play for two days.
The next morning, a powerful news suddenly spread all over the Wuxiangfu. Zhou was unwise and unethical, repeatedly disobeying her mother-in-law and husband, and killing the Jiang family’s heir, so Uncle Jiang was furious and sent her back to her mother’s house.
The Zhou family had no objections and took Zhou away without a word.
Jiang Yiyan and Jiang Wen hugged and cried with Zhou, but Zhou was still dragged away by her mother-in-law.
Jiang Yirou had gotten the news from the third master, and quietly came to tell Jiang Yishi that the Zhou family didn’t want to accept Zhou, and would directly send her to a nunnery. Zhou did not know that she would be sent directly to the nunnery, half of her dowry was left for her children, and the other half was brought back to the Zhou family for their own use.
Zhou was also forced to leave the house, her mother’s door did not enter, the dowry was directly taken over by her mother’s family.
Jiang Yishi heart a burst of relief.
In the Scorched Garden, the spring sun shines brightly, and the begonias outside the window are gorgeous.
Jiang Yishi and Jiang Yirou were doing needlework under the window, both of them were exceptionally happy.
From time to time, Jiang Yirou raised her head to tease and tease the chirps outside the window, and from time to time, she would say, “It’s very strange, I feel like my mood has lightened up all of a sudden.”
Jiang Yirou laughed, “Yes, you can eat at ease.”
Jiang Yirou’s voice lowered, “Second sister, do you think that eldest uncle will find another daughter-in-law?”
Jiang Yishi said, “I think it will, Eldest Uncle is still less than forty.”
Jiang Yirou covered her mouth and laughed a few times, “Great. In the future, the third sister will have a stepmother on her head, see how she still dares to bully.” She also regretted, “It’s a pity that second sister is getting married soon. If we could spend New Year’s Eve at home, we would be like the sisters in other families, drinking sweet wine and playing drums and flowers.”
This was one of her regrets, the games that other sisters loved to play on New Year’s Day, but her own family had never played.
Jiang Yishi teased, “By the time the third sister has a stepmother, the fourth sister will already be married off to her in-laws.”
Jiang Yirou reddened, put down the embroidery bandage to tickle Jiang Yishi’s armpit, Jiang Yishi was tickled to giggle.
While they were messing around, Jiang Yishan came.
This was Jiang Yishan’s first time to come to Scorch Garden alone, she had come with Jiang Yihui a few times when she was a child.
Jiang Yishi felt sorry for this little girl, who had been living carefully under the eyes of Zhou’s mother and daughter.
Getting up, she warmly greeted, “Fifth sister, sit.”
Jiang Yishan held an embroidery bandage in her hand and smiled, “I’ve come to find my sisters to embroider.”
Jojo saw another beautiful sister, fluttering her wings and called, “Flower, flower, there is a good person, in the water side ……”
Jiang Yisan childish nature, was amused and giggled. Do not want to do needlework, standing in front of the window to tease Jojo.
Zhou Yirou asked, “Fifth sister, where is third sister?”
Jiang Yishan mumbled, “I heard her crying in the house, I didn’t dare to get in the way.”
She and Jiang Yiyan lived two doors down.
Jiang Yirou skimmed her mouth.
Before dinner, Baozan went to all the courtyards to inform them that the old lady was sick, and except for the two lords, the third madam, and the first lord, all the other masters were eating in their own courtyards.
A few juniors quickly finished eating to go to Ruyi Hall to attend to the illness, but they were blocked back before they could enter the courtyard.
Jiang Yishi had just returned to the burnt courtyard, when Jiang Da was led by a granny from the outer courtyard.
Jiang Yishi got the deed and went to Ruyi Hall.
The old lady was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and the Grand Master, the Third Master, the Third Mistress, and Jiang Jin were standing in front of the bed.
The old lady heard that Jiang Yishi had sent the deed to her.
The old lady only opened her eyes when she heard that Jiang Yishi had brought the deed.
She transfers the deed to Uncle Jiang, “You personally go to Tangzhou tomorrow, thank those few officials who helped, and ask them to make sure to keep it a secret.”
Third Master enlightened, “Mother don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare to say anything about this. If they did, they wouldn’t be selling themselves short.”
Jiang Yishi hesitantly said, “Grandmother, great uncle, I don’t want the land and manor in Tangzhou, even if it’s sold cheaply, I’ll let the stewards sell it.”
The old lady responded, “Good, let ……” She wanted to say let Jiang Jin do it, but felt that the eldest house should avoid suspicion, and said to Jiang Third Master and his wife, “You let the proper steward go and sell the land, and then place some land around the capital. ”
The third master nodded his head and promised.
The old lady again pulled Jiang Yishi’s hand and said, “Zhou’s bad conscience, but the few children she gave birth to are all very good, don’t create a gap with them. Those who should be helped, should still be helped.”
The old lady was afraid that Jiang Yishi would take it out on Jiang Jin’s siblings after marrying into the Meng family due to her grudge against Zhou.
Jiang Yishi nodded her head very nicely.
