Chapter 168: A Lifelong Nightmare
It was only when they arrived at Jingzhaofu that Zheng Jing and Yuan Xian realized that the two were relatives. However, both of them were injured to the point of not being injured, and neither of them obeyed the other.
By the time Zheng Yu came to pick up Zheng Jing and Yuan Xian’s second uncle came to pick up Yuan Xian, the two sides had a private joint settlement.
Yuan Xian received the most beatings from Jiang Xun, his right arm was broken, and the two subordinates who protected him were beaten to internal injuries. He saw that Jiang Xun was only the nephew of Uncle Wu Xiang, and was angry enough to ask Lord Ma, the governor of the capital, to punish Jiang Xun.
Zheng Jing and Zheng Yu both disagree. Zheng Jing is grateful to Jiang Xun, and Zheng Yu is also grateful to Meng Zhimo and Jiang Yishi.
Lord Ma knows Jiang Xun because of the fire and has a very good impression of Jiang Xun. And Jiang Xun was clearly pulling the fight, how could he dispose of him.
Said, ”The fighting ones are united and solved, in what name to dispose of the one who pulls the fight? Since it’s a misunderstanding, it’s good to unravel it.”
The three groups of people went back to their own homes.
Because Jiang Xun found the right target to violently beat Yuan Xian, several of the most powerful subordinates mainly pressed him to beat him. Even with Jiang Da protecting him, he was still beaten badly, hanging from many places, his left foot was injured by a stone, and the doctor said he needed to rest for half a month.
Zheng Jing knew that if Jiang Xun did not come to help, he would have been beaten even harder than Yuan Xian. To him, he said, “Thank you, I’ll remember your kindness.”
Jiang Da felt that he had not protected his master and came early this morning to report to Jiang Yishi.
The one who pulled the fight was even more beaten than the one who fought, and Jiang Yishi was so angry that his liver ached. He asked again, “Will Xun’s feet be lame?”
Jiang Da said, “The doctor said only trauma, will not be lame.”
Jiang Yishi is still uneasy. Thinking, it is not good to take the light bead to directly irradiate Jiang Xun’s leg, so he must take some tear water to make food for him. Today, Meng Ruimo was there, so he would do it tomorrow.
Meng Ruimo let someone go to Fu An Hall to the old master and the old lady to explain the situation, the two of them hurriedly went to the Jiang House.
They arrived at the beginning of the sixth hour. The concierge said, Yichang Grand Princess House also came people, is Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Jing.
Mrs. Zheng’s nature is cold, the only hope and comfort is the son. After her son’s accident, she was very grateful to Jiang Xun and brought a generous gift to Jiang Mansion with her son to thank him.
Meng Zhimo and Jiang Yishi went directly to Jiang Xun’s courtyard.
Jiang Xun was lying on the bed, one foot was wrapped in cloth. Beside the bed sat Jiang Jin, Jiang Wen, Jiang Fei and a young man, who was Zheng Jing. Zheng Jing had many bruises on his face and neck, and one of his hands was wrapped in cloth.
Jiang Xun’s one eye was swollen into a slit and his nose was swollen. He laughed, “Brother-in-law, sister.”
Jiang Jin got up and gave Meng Zhimo a cupped fist, and Jiang Wen and Jiang Fei made a bow.
“Brother-in-law, second sister.”
“Brother-in-law, second sister.”
Zheng Jing also got up and bowed, calling out, “Big brother Meng, sister-in-law Meng.”
Jiang Yishi came to the bedside and took Jiang Xun’s hand and said heartily, “Let me take a look.”
Jiang Xun reddened, “Sister, I’m fine.”
Jiang Yishi complained, “You were beaten so badly and still say you’re fine.”
Zheng Jing was busy admitting his mistake, “Brother Jiang was injured because of me, it was my fault.” With a wound in his mouth, his speech was a bit slurred.
Just now, the two of them declared their ages, they were the same age, both fourteen, Zheng Jing was two months older than Jiang Xun, so he called Jiang Xun “Brother Jiang”.
Meng Zhimo was experienced in trauma. He examined Jiang Xun’s injuries and said, “No big deal, it’s just superficial wounds.”
Several people talked for a while, Jiang Yishi was about to go to Ruyi Hall to visit Mrs. Zheng, when one of Mrs. Zheng’s maids came over to call Zheng Jing.
“Madam has some chest congestion, please go back, Young Master.”
Zheng Jing got up to take his leave.
The Jiang brothers and Meng Zhimo and Jiang Yishi sent Zheng Jing to the outer courtyard. Madam Zheng was already waiting by the carriage, and Third Lady Meng and Great Grandmother Meng also escorted Madam Zheng here.
Mrs. Zheng’s face was pale, and she didn’t look well at first glance.
Zheng Jing hurriedly walked up and asked, “Mother, what’s wrong with you?”
Mrs. Zheng said, “It’s nothing, I just feel a bit stuffy in my chest.”
Her gaze slid across Jiang Yishi’s face and she turned around to be helped onto the carriage by her maid.
Zheng Jing clasped his fist at Jiang’s family and also got into the carriage.
Seeing his mother’s eyes closed, seemingly extremely uncomfortable, Zheng Jing urgently said, “Have someone go directly to the Imperial Hospital to invite the Imperial Doctor to the residence, so that Mother can see a doctor as soon as she returns to the residence.”
Mrs. Zheng shook her head and said softly, “No need, Mother will be fine after a rest.”
She had just realized that Jiang Yishi and Jiang Xun’s birth mother was actually Hu Mingya. That woman, although she had never seen her and had died long ago, was the nightmare of her life.
Earlier, she had heard from her mother’s family that Hu Mingya had married a low-ranking officer surnamed Jiang and died three years later. She thought that she would never cross paths with that woman, but she didn’t realize that the woman’s pair of children had so many ties to her. She could stop her own son from not socializing with her son, but she didn t dare to prevent the Grand Princess from liking and appreciating her daughter ……
She had just specifically asked Jiang Yixi about her birthdate, and then thought about the date of her husband’s departure from the capital before she put her heart down. No matter what, the Jiang family would not lie about this matter, much less tolerate their son wearing a cuckold and confusing his bloodline. That little resemblance was her own over-intention.
She opened her eyes and grasped Zheng Jing’s hand and said, “I just caught up with the Jiang family’s female family members for a while, and the Jiang old lady is coarse and short-sighted, and her descendants won’t be any better. In the future, you should minimize your dealings with the Jiang family, so don’t learn from them.”
Zheng Jing said, “I’ve heard Tingting and Brother Yu talk about the Jiang family before, saying that Jiang’s old lady and the big house aren’t very nice, and they don’t bully the orphans and girls in the second house much …….”
Mrs. Zheng said, “To be able to talk so badly about the elders outside, can see that those two in the second house are even worse.”
Zheng Jing defended, “It’s not what they said ……”
Seeing his mother glaring at him with a bad face, Zheng Jing only had to keep his mouth shut. He was in a difficult situation in his heart, Jiang Xun was bold and righteous at first glance, grandmother and cousin aunt, elder brother Yu and Ting Ting all said that Jiang Yishi was very good, surely their siblings were not coarse and short-sighted people. Originally agreed to visit Jiang Xun on the next Muzhu day, when Jiang Xun feet well invited him to go to the countryside to ride …… together.
He could not openly disobey his mother, but his grandmother’s impression of Jiang Yishi was very good, so in the future, he asked his grandmother to talk to his mother more about the good things about the Jiang family siblings. When his mother’s impression of Jiang Xun shifted, he himself would walk around with him more.
Sister Qin’s face looked very bad, Jiang Yishi thought she was worried about Jiang Xun and relieved her.
Jiang Yishi instructed Jiang Xun to take some precautions and went to Ruyi Hall with Meng Jimo to visit the old lady.
Except for the injured Jiang Xun and the grounded Jiang YiYan, all the Jiang family members were here. Just now when Mrs. Zheng was here, Uncle Jiang and Third Master were not good enough to come over. Once Mrs. Zheng left, they all came to pry for news.
The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, not at all worried about her grandson’s injury.
Jiang Yishi secretly grunted, the old lady must be happy because she received a heavy gift and is closer to the Grand Princess House.
The old lady had just looked at the gift list and was indeed happy because of these two things.
Thank you for the reward from the little boots of the troupe, and thank you for the pro’s monthly tickets.
