After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family
Chapter 134: What a wonderful family ethics drama
A month later.
Shangluo Street.
Yunzhu followed Jiang Ruoli's advice and after inspecting all the perfume and powder shops in Kyoto, she rented a storefront on Shangluo Street, named it Linglongzhai, and started her own small business.
The scented powder and incense used by Kyoto women are very different from those used by Jiangnan women. Yunzhu understands pharmacology because of her talent in making poisons. She uses this as a selling point and produces a batch of products that use Jiangnan aromatherapy as a selling point and have medicinal functions for sale.
The shop had been open for only half a month, but its perfume powders and incense were widely praised, with returning customers coming in an endless stream, and ladies from Kyoto all coming to the shop to buy it.
Since there was nothing to do today, Mrs. Jiang suggested going shopping in the store.
Jiang Ruoli brought Mrs. Jiang to Linglongzhai.
Yunzhu had just seen off a group of guests.
Seeing Jiang Ruoli and Madam Jiang coming in, she hurried to greet them.
"Madam, Miss, come here."
Yunzhu greeted warmly.
"Chunyu, go and make a pot of good tea."
Mrs. Jiang patted her hands lovingly.
"Okay, stop being busy. Li'er and I will just take a walk."
At that time, Li'er brought Yunzhu home and told her about Yunzhu.
Mrs. Jiang had no prejudice against her and was very supportive of her opening a shop.
Yunzhu smiled shyly.
"Then take a look around and pay for the Yunzhu you like."
As the three were talking, a young couple walked in.
"Boss, I heard that your store has calming incense?" the man said.
Hearing the sound, the three turned around to look.
Then a handsome man walked in, supporting a pregnant woman.
They look like a couple.
The man was quite good-looking, except for a dark spot under his eye, which made him look a little weak.
It seemed that the woman should support him.
The man paused slightly when he saw Mrs. Jiang.
Then he bowed to his wife beside him.
"Aunt." They both spoke.
aunt?
Jiang Ruoli looked at Mrs. Jiang in surprise.
Mrs. Jiang nodded slightly.
"Wenzhi, Fangshi, you guys are out shopping too."
The tone was very cold.
Kong Wenzhi seemed not to hear the coldness in Mrs. Jiang's tone.
"Aunt, today is such a coincidence."
Jiang Ruoli looked at Fang's pregnant belly, then looked at the couple standing in front of her.
Something suddenly occurred to me.
【Wenzhi? Fangshi?】
[This family’s surname wouldn’t be Kong, right?! ]
Madam Jiang's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked with concern:
"Ms. Fang is pregnant now. It looks like your Kong family will have a happy event soon."
[It really is the Kong family! ]
Jiang Ruoli looked at the two people in front of her with a complicated expression.
Hearing what Mrs. Jiang said, Kong Wenzhi smiled.
"Yes, there have been many happy events in the Kong family recently. My sister-in-law just gave birth to a baby a few days ago, and they are holding a full-moon banquet at home today!"
His face was filled with joy, as if it was his child's full-moon party.
Jiang Ruoli couldn't help but twitching the corners of her mouth.
[Haha, this Confucius Mansion is really quite bizarre. ]
【Mr. Kong's concubine forced his first wife to death and took over, and married his first wife's daughter to a fatherless and motherless failed scholar. Unexpectedly, although the scholar was not a good student, he was good at business and made a lot of money in a few years.】
[The Kong family was jealous, so Mrs. Kong encouraged her two sons to hire someone to kill the scholar while he was out doing business.]
[The scholar died tragically, and there were no relatives left in the family, so the family property naturally fell to the daughter of the original wife. The two brothers seized the property in the name of helping her manage the family property, while the daughter of the original wife had a hard time living with her two-year-old daughter.]
[Hey? I remember that Mrs. Kong seemed to be my mother's close friend when she was in the boudoir? No wonder these two people call my mother aunt. ]
Mrs. Jiang was stunned.
Mrs. Kong was indeed her "closest friend".
Mrs. Kong, also known as Wan Zhaoru, was a neighbor of her mother's family in Jiangnan.
It's just that Wan Zhaoru has been competitive since she was a child, and she always wants to be better than her in everything. She really dislikes Wan Zhaoru's behavior, and the relationship between the two has always been full of tension.
It was not until she reached marriageable age that Mrs. Jiang married the famous Duke Zhenguo. Wan Zhaoru's jealousy towards her reached its peak at that moment.
Despite her family's dissuasion, she insisted on canceling the marriage arranged by her grandfather and resolutely came to Kyoto to find a good marriage.
Logically speaking, with Wan Zhaoru's family background and appearance, although she could not marry into a family as prominent as the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she still had a lot of options.
But she met Kong Bosheng.
Kong Bosheng was ten years older than her, and was just a small seventh-rank clerk in the Zhanshi Mansion. However, he was a romantic, eloquent, and handsome man, and he coaxed Wan Zhaoru into committing herself to him.
Later, Wan Zhaoru became pregnant. Kong Bosheng could no longer hide the fact, so he had to take her into his house as a concubine.
But how could Wan Zhaoru be willing to be a concubine?
Kong Bosheng's original wife was his first wife when he was poor, and he would not divorce her casually.
Wan Zhaoru used all means to force her original wife to hang herself. After her original wife's daughter came of age, she casually sent her away to a scholar who failed the imperial examination.
These things are nothing new in Kyoto.
Originally, Kong Bosheng had the hope of being promoted, but when this scandal in the backyard broke out, the emperor immediately rejected his petition.
The couple has been estranged from then on.
Mrs. Jiang is relatively familiar with the Kong family's affairs.
But the two brothers of the Kong family actually killed their brother-in-law?
There was a look of indifference in Mrs. Jiang's eyes.
[I remember that later, the daughter of the first wife learned the cause of her husband's death, but because she did not have enough evidence, she could not sue the authorities. She could not swallow this breath in her heart, so she exposed the scandal of the two Kong brothers at a banquet.]
[Could it be this full moon banquet?! ]
[The younger brother-in-law fell in love with his sister-in-law, but the older brother was having an affair with his younger brother's wife...]
[Tsk tsk tsk, what a wonderful family ethics drama! ]
[It would be nice if I could go and see it live...]
Mrs. Jiang's body paused.
What did Li'er say?
Brother-in-law and sister-in-law?
Big brother and younger siblings?
How come she couldn't understand these names put together?
Mrs. Jiang digested the food for a while and looked at Fang's stomach thoughtfully.
Could it be... that this child is not Kong Wenzhi's? !
Feeling Mrs. Jiang's strange gaze, Kong Wenzhi was a little confused.
But it was getting late, and they still had to go back home to prepare for the full moon banquet.
"Aunt, it's getting late. My wife and I will go back home first."
I can only buy Fang's calming incense another day.
After Kong Wenzhi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen your mother for a long time." Mrs. Jiang suddenly spoke.
Kong Wenzhi was stunned.
What does this mean?
Haven't the two of them always been at odds with each other?
Seeing that Mrs. Jiang stopped talking, Kong Wenzhi asked tentatively.
"Then...Aunt, do you want to go to the banquet at your house?"
"That's great!" Mrs. Jiang said happily.
Kong Wenzhi was dumbfounded.
He just asked casually, why did you really go?
"aunt......"
Just as he was about to find an excuse to refuse, Mrs. Jiang interrupted him.
"Then my aunt will go back home to prepare the gifts."
After saying that, without waiting for Kong Wenzhi to reply, he pulled Jiang Ruoli out.
Jiang Ruoli couldn't help but give a thumbs up in her heart.
【Mother, well done! 】
