Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

The people in the palace follow their highness, and when it comes to doing things, there are only two words to describe them - efficiency.

After receiving the instructions from the two masters, yes, after Ah Fu's subtle reminders, everyone in the mansion tacitly agreed that Master Jiang would be their second master from now on!

The palace directly sent a team of guards to the Jiang Mansion, and asked the Su family to hand over the property under the judgment within one day as if they were collecting debts. No matter how the Su family members insisted or cried, it was useless.

When they encountered the two second-generation sons of the Su family making a big fuss, they didn't bother to talk any more and just broke into the room of the two elders like a group of bandits, dragged them up and took them to see the officials.

The two poor old men had just returned from the county government office to recuperate after being caned. Due to their old age, their wounds healed slowly, and after this beating, the two men, who were already half dead, were now even more dying.

The old lady fainted, but the old man was stronger and managed to hold on. He was dragged to the door by the bandit guards of the palace. He was so scared that he yelled at the people at home like a demon:

"What are you guys still standing there for?! Hurry up and gather all the things and give them to them, quickly!"

If he doesn't get rid of these plague gods, his life will really end today!

Several children were frightened by the methods of these guards. They were afraid that if they did not hand over the money, they would be dragged to the county government like dead dogs like their father.

With this in mind, everyone dared not delay any longer and hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to empty out the things in the house and handed them over quickly. As soon as the group of evil spirits left, they immediately closed the door, fearing that if they were a step late, these terrible bandits would come back to attack them.

The master of the Su family was helped into the room by his eldest son. His face became visibly pale, no longer as wealthy and comfortable as before.

Most of the family wealth was lost in a flash, and none of his children had any future. His health was already deteriorating, and he was beaten with thirty boards. He didn't have much time left.

Once he leaves, the Su family will have no one to support it, and I’m afraid it won’t be long before it completely declines.

Thinking of this, Master Su was suddenly overwhelmed with grief. He beat his chest desperately, his face full of regret and pain: "It's my fault, it's my fault!"

If he had not been greedy for a moment and wanted to use Fu Xuerong to win over Zhengchu's heart, the Su family would not have fallen into this situation today.

He regrets so much!

However, no matter how much the two elders of the Su family regretted, no one sympathized with them. Their children were taught to be selfish. After knowing that such a big thing had happened in the family, they all wanted to distance themselves from it and protect themselves. No one cared about the health of the two elders at all.

One of the largest merchants in Los Angeles completely fell apart not long after, and became food for other families to share.

However, the palace guards who were acting on orders naturally had no control over all of this.

After they successfully took the Su family's property, they followed Jiang Xin's instructions and put the shop and house up for sale at the pawnshop. They brought the other property back to the capital and then directly transferred it to the Jiang family, thinking that they would take the property of both families together before taking it back to the palace to avoid making another trip.

The Jiang family was not at peace at this time. Fortunately, Fu Xuerong was still in prison, and Jiang Zhengchu was a man who cared about his reputation, so he would not do anything to cause trouble. Even though he was unhappy in his heart, he appeared to be happy and paid all the compensation he owed.

However, when Jiang Zhengchu had the things delivered to the door, he saw many guards outside carrying a lot of boxes. Thinking of the fact that they had gone to the Su family before coming here, he finally couldn't help but frown.

Back then, he had thought about threatening Jiang Xin and kicking his son out of the house, but now, Jiang Xin's wealth is probably more than that of his father.

But now he didn't have the mood to be angry about these things anymore. His Majesty had already issued an imperial decree, and in a few days, he would go to the border with that vicious woman.

Although His Majesty did not explicitly state that he was being exiled on charges of crime, he should not have to travel in shackles and shackles like a prisoner. However, he had angered His Majesty after all, so the accompanying guards still had to be dealt with.

In just these few days, he has spent a lot of money, but it was all for his own benefit. As for that vicious woman Fu Xuerong, he doesn't care about her dying!

"Father..." Jiang Liangcai was in his mother's room. When he heard the guards from the palace coming, he hurried out.

However, the guards took the money and left happily, and now Jiang Zhengchu was the only one standing alone in the yard.

Jiang Zhengchu turned around when he heard Jiang Liangcai's voice, and showed a rare good look to this bastard, nodded and said: "We are about to set off, you go back and pack with your mother.

It's cold in the frontier, so let him prepare some extra clothes."

Jiang Liangcai moved his lips, but his body did not move at all.

Jiang Zhengchu's face darkened, but after a while he suppressed his anger and said calmly, "That vicious woman Fu Xuerong is not worthy of being my wife. When we settle down in the border, I will make your mother my wife. From now on, you will be the only legitimate son of my Jiang family."

If it weren't for the imperial edict ordering him to stay with Fu Xuerong, he would have divorced this vicious woman long ago. Now he could only think of a way to demote her to a concubine and wait for the future...

However, before Jiang Zhengchu could continue thinking about the future, Jiang Liangcai suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Jiang Zhengchu, and then said with a fearless attitude: "I would like to ask my father to divide the family and allow my son to move out of the house with my mother to live separately. I beg my father to grant me permission."

Jiang Zhengchu's face turned dark, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say?!"

Jiang Liangcai pursed his lips, and mustered up the courage to repeat what he had just said. Then he lowered his head and whispered, "Father only knew that my mother was injured during childbirth, and he loved her very much, but he didn't know that my mother had also become ill from overwork over the years and was bedridden all day long."

His mother was taken into the mansion by Fu Xuerong's father when she was pregnant. She was a thorn in Fu Xuerong's side. How could he really let her live a good life?

Because she was a concubine and had a low status, Jiang Zhengchu also felt guilty towards Fu Xuerong and seldom visited his mother in her room.

On the day of delivery, his mother was truly in a life-and-death situation.

Even though the mother and child survived safely, Fu Xuerong felt unhappy. Before his mother was out of confinement, he made her do the rough work of a servant, such as washing clothes and emptying the chamber pot, and he ordered his mother around in various ways.

His mother was obviously a few years younger than Fu Xuerong, but after being tossed around like this every day, it didn't take long before she looked like she was ten years older than Fu Xuerong.

His mother originally won his father's favor because of her looks, but after her beauty faded, she naturally fell out of favor and lived a life similar to that of the servants in the Jiang residence, or even worse.

He used to try so hard to please Fu Xuerong and Jiang Xingyu, mother and son, and wanted so hard to marry a woman from a high-class family, just to make his mother's life in the Jiang family easier.

Now that Fu Xuerong is in prison, the pressure on his mother is no longer heavy, but his father wants them to accompany him to the bitter and cold borderland.

With his damn body, he couldn't make it.

Perhaps Jiang Xin's act of breaking off relations with his family gave him some courage. He didn't dare to be as tough as his elder brother, but he still wanted to fight for himself and his mother. After kowtowed several times, he saw his father's face becoming more and more gloomy, so he clenched his fists and said:

"Also, I feel that although His Majesty has issued an imperial decree, there is still hope for Dad's departure. I will work hard to pass the imperial examinations. If one day I am lucky enough to ascend to the imperial court, I will do my best to help Dad. I hope that we will have a chance to reunite in the capital."

Jiang Zhengchu's heart was moved. In fact, none of the pitiful words Jiang Liangcai said at the beginning moved him. He knew that this unfilial son loved his mother the most. He even thought that if this unfilial son was not obedient, he would sell that bitch to punish him for his rebelliousness!

Concubines were equivalent to slaves he bought, and if he wanted to sell them, no one could stop him.

However, Jiang Liangcai's last sentence touched his heart.

He didn't want to stay in such a bitter and cold place all his life, where he would have to deal with unruly people on a daily basis, so he wanted to return to the capital.

Even though he would face ridicule and mockery when he returned, he still wanted to return to the place closest to fame, wealth and power.

He no longer has any hope for Jiang Xin. Jiang Xingyu has the stain of his own mother, so he probably has no hope in this life.

Now there is only Jiang Liangcai left.

Jiang Liangcai's knowledge was quite good, but the child was a little clever. He was worried that Jiang Xingyu would be dissatisfied with him, so he always hid his knowledge and did not pass the examination to become a scholar.

However, when Jiang Zhengchu occasionally tested his studies individually, he found that he was quite hardworking on weekdays. If he worked harder, he might have a chance to get into high school.

If Liangcai had been admitted to high school, he would definitely not have watched his father suffer in the frontier and would have always tried to find a way to save him.

Jiang Liangcai is different from Jiang Xin, and he has not severed his relationship with him. Even if he doesn't want to save him, he can't do so. This is unfilial.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhengchu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and his expression towards Jiang Liangcai became a little gentler, and he said: "What you said makes sense. I am going to the border and the journey is long. It is indeed inconvenient to bring your mother with me. In this case, you should stay with your mother.

I will leave some money and two shops for you and your daughter. Your mother is weak, so you should take good care of her."

Jiang Liangcai was delighted when he heard this, and quickly kowtowed again and said, "Thank you, father."

Seeing that his son was still respectful to him as always, Jiang Zhengchu nodded with satisfaction, paused and said, "Whether I can return to Beijing or not, your mother will always be your father's only legal wife."

We should give this child some sweet treats so that my son will be more devoted to his work.

Jiang Liangcai paused, kowtowed again, and respectfully thanked his father, but he sneered in his heart.

At this point, who would care about this man's position as his wife? Didn't his father really know?

*

Jiang Zhengchu's injury had not yet healed, but at the urging of the officials, he packed his luggage and followed the team escorting Fu Xuerong to leave the capital.

Before leaving, he dismissed the servants in the house, sold all the remaining shops after the confiscation for silver, and left the Jiang Mansion to Jiang Liangcai and his son.

As for Jiang Xingyu, he wanted to take this rebellious son away with him, but this rebellious son seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth in the past two days. He did not return home and no one knew where he had gone. Until the two of them left, they had not seen him again, so he had to give up.

On the day Fu Xuerong was exiled, it was unknown who ordered her to walk through the busiest street in the capital.

Seeing the woman lying in the wooden cage, covered in blood from beatings, with her right leg bent awkwardly, the people who came to watch couldn't help but ask questions out of curiosity.

After this inquiry, the Jiang family's old stories could no longer be hidden.

Some people who originally felt sympathy for Fu Xuerong because of her appearance suddenly spat in disgust: "Bah! She looks so pitiful, but I didn't expect that she is actually a vicious woman with a heart as vicious as a snake and scorpion!"

"I was wondering how this muteness could be cured suddenly! It turns out that the eldest son of the Jiang family was not born mute, but was harmed by this vicious woman. No wonder!"

"It's God's will that this woman didn't succeed, otherwise Mr. Jiang would be so pitiful!"

"I heard that Master Jiang is very smart. The colored glaze that has been very popular recently and that the rich and powerful are scrambling to buy is the one he invented!"

"It's a good thing I didn't get killed by this woman, otherwise we wouldn't have the blessing to see such beautiful Liuli!"

"She deserves it! In my opinion, such a vicious woman should be executed in the street. Sending her to the frontier is too lenient!"

"That's right! The wife of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice committed a crime. Shouldn't she be punished more severely?!"

"Correct!"

"..."

For a moment, the emotions of the crowd were aroused. No one knew who started it and threw a vegetable leaf in the direction of the wooden prison. Immediately, more rotten leaves and chicken offal were thrown at it one after another.

Fu Xuerong was lying there drowsy when she was hit by a rotten vegetable root. She subconsciously shrank to avoid it, but the moment she looked up, she saw Jiang Xin, who was looking into her eyes, in the crowd.

She immediately slammed the wooden cage with her relatively intact hands like a madman, staring at Jiang Xin with her eyes, and roared unwillingly: "Ah! Ugh! Ahhhhh!"

Jiang Xin just wanted to take advantage of his free time today to check out the few shops he had just acquired, but he didn't expect to run into Fu Xuerong leaving Beijing. He was pushed to the front by the crowd and took a look at her. Seeing the other person's crazy look, he just found it a little funny.

He was a mute for two lifetimes and he never went crazy, but Fu Xuerong went crazy before him.

Jiang Xin didn't know what he was feeling at the moment. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Agui get a basket of vegetable leaves from somewhere and stuff it into his hand. He said excitedly, "Sir, here you go!"

Jiang Xin: “…”?

"Your Highness asked me to prepare this!" Ah Gui winked at Jiang Xin and whispered, "Your Highness knows that today is the day Fu Xuerong is leaving Beijing, so he specially asked me to bring you here to relax!"

Actually, Xie Ze originally planned to bring Ah Xin here himself, but since he was still under house arrest, he had to leave the matter to Ah Gui.

Jiang Xin glanced at the excited Agui, then looked at the basket of rotten leaves, vegetable roots and pig offal in his hand, and immediately he was "..."

He was wondering why His Highness was so easy to talk to today. Was he relaxing like this? !
