Chapter 398 I won’t let your mother take even one step towards the ancestral temple

Patriarch Jiang and the six elders had now escalated the matter to the level of a family crisis. Jiang Mingan reminded them that this was not a simple family matter but involved imperial power.

They also heard that the emperor was Tang'er's senior brother and treated Tang'er very well. If he knew that Tang'er was treated harshly by her grandmother at home, would he not be angry?

The Jiang family could not afford the consequences of the emperor's anger, so they certainly could not let a woman in the harem destroy the Jiang family.

After realizing this hidden danger, he no longer advised the Yong'an Marquis family to maintain harmony and not do anything that would hurt their reputation.

These old men can still tell which is more important, face or life.

Everyone agreed that Yong'an Hou should write a document to offer sacrifice to the ancestors, but of course it was impossible for them to take the initiative to hand the document over to the government office for filing.

Ultimately, this was a preventive measure to prevent Yuntang from being suppressed and bullied by his elders in the name of filial piety in the future. It was also a means of warning the old lady not to cause trouble for Yuntang again.

They made the choice on behalf of the family, and things went smoothly from then on.

Marquis Yong'an wrote down how the situation had turned out, as well as his concerns about hidden dangers that affected the family and reported it to the clan.

Then, Chief Jiang personally wrote down the harmfulness of the matter and agreed to Marquis Yong'an's request.

Finally, Marquis Yong'an, Chief Jiang and six clan elders all signed and sealed the document, which was then written and given to Chief Jiang to take back to the clan for filing.

This is not an official document to the outside world, it is just a preventive measure, so there is not much to say. Just let the old lady know the result of this matter later.

If there is anything missing, they can just write another one together with details of what happened and clear pros and cons.

After finishing this matter, Marquis Yong'an told them about Yuntang's birthday party and housewarming party being held together next month, and verbally invited them to have a drink at the Princess's Mansion that day.

After that, you have to write a note and send it to each household.

For such a big event, the dignitaries in the capital have to participate, and of course the Jiang family members have to participate too.

It is also a rare opportunity for the Jiang family to show off. Although there is no need to seek any benefits, just going to drink and attend the banquet is a very honorable thing.

Upon learning that Yuntang actually had her own princess mansion, Patriarch Jiang and the six clan elders were surprised and delighted. They did not make the wrong choice just now.

If they obstruct this matter, they might offend the Princess Protector of the Country. How can they meet in the future?

During the family reunion banquet, Yuntang even called them uncle.

Their Jiang family was not originally a noble family, but rose from humble origins. Therefore, the Jiang clan leader did not let Yuntang call him great uncle, but directly called him uncle to show his friendliness.

Before leaving, Chief Jiang pondered for a moment, looked at Yong'an Hou and said, "Ming'an, since we are here, we can't come in vain. Why don't we go to the ancestral hall and invite your mother to see us? We have to talk about her."

We didn’t meet in the front yard, and it was even less likely that we would meet in Songhe Hall, but in the ancestral hall.

The clan leader and elders came and accused a woman from the rear quarters in the ancestral hall. The consequences were very serious.

What is the woman's arrogance based on?

It is nothing more than being pampered, having status and position, that has developed a character that is arrogant and looks down on others.

But when a woman gets married, she will always worry about one thing, that is, not being recognized by her family. The consequence may be that she will be deprived of her identity, reputation and status.

For example, being expelled from the clan, being drowned in a pond, or not being allowed to be buried in the ancestral tomb after death...

I don’t know if the old lady is afraid of these things.

Seeing that the elders in the clan were willing to discipline his old mother, Yong'an Hou thought of another maid coming to report to him early this morning that the old lady had been upset and unable to sleep all night, and had an unbearable headache in the morning, and had been crying for half the night...

Since his mother was determined to force him like this, he hoped that someone would take care of his mother in order to avoid causing more trouble.

The court physician would go to Songhetang for follow-up consultations every morning. To know whether the patient was sick or not, could the court physician be a court physician and just eat and drink for free?

At noon, have a bowl of chicken stewed with gastrodia elata, wolfberry and red dates, or lamb soup with wolfberry and osmanthus; in the afternoon, have a bowl of bird's nest with rock sugar, or bird's nest stewed with pear; in the evening, there is also a lighter medicinal soup.

There are also two bowls of medicinal soup in the morning and evening to calm the mind and clear heat.

With such careful care, can she get sick if she wants to?

Marquis Yong'an did not expect that his old mother would become more and more unreasonable, and he was very angry, so he ordered people to go to Songhe Hall to invite the old lady to the ancestral hall and not let the clan leaders and elders wait.

But he stopped Chief Jiang and the others and sighed with a wry smile.

"Let's wait for the news from Songhe Hall before we go. I guess she will be even sicker and unable to get up or even faint on the spot, and she won't be able to go to the ancestral hall."

Hearing him say that, Patriarch Jiang couldn't help but frown. Even the patriarch couldn't do anything?

"Ming'an, if that's the case, your mother may not be suitable to go out for banquets anymore. Let her rest and recuperate in Songhe Hall."

Patriarch Jiang sat down again and spoke meaningfully.

"We can't just let her do what she wants. How dare a woman look down on our clan?" an elder said unhappily.

Even the emperor dared not ignore the clan and the ancestral temple. The world is based on people, and people are based on the clan.

Otherwise, how can we talk about "bringing honor to the family"? How can we talk about "supporting the family lintel"? Even ordinary people still talk about "establishing a household with a roof over their heads".

"Whether she goes to the ancestral hall or not, we have to pass on the message."

"As a noble lady, she doesn't want to follow the three obediences and four virtues, but she also wants to make the prosperity of the Marquisate the most important. If she dares to destroy the future of the Marquisate and hurt the family foundation, the family has the right to divorce her on behalf of her deceased husband and expel her from the family!"

"If this rich and glorious mansion can no longer accommodate her ignorant and careless heart, then please ask her to live in the family temple. Simple meals will help her return to her original heart and regain her sanity."

With just a few words, Patriarch Jiang determined the destination of the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion.

The other elders then quieted down, but Marquis Yong'an felt a slight pain in his heart.

He hoped that his mother could think through the consequences, but he didn't want to make a fuss about it. However, if his mother really refused to see the people from the clan today on the grounds of illness, this would be the consequence of offending the clan.

He didn't want his mother to offend the clan, but could his mother be so clear-headed? If she didn't even care about the clan, what else would she be afraid of?

He was also worried that the consequences were beyond his ability to bear.

After about a cup of tea, the servant came back hurriedly and said:

"When the old lady learned that the Marquis had invited the clan leader and elders to come and meet her in the ancestral hall, she became so angry that she cursed the Marquis for being an unfilial son and passed out."

Marquis Yong'an waved the servant away and sighed.

Chief Jiang and the elders all looked at him. It is true that no one knows a mother better than her son.

But seeing that Yong'an Hou looked unhappy and his eyes couldn't hide his grief, Jiang clan leader sighed and said helplessly: "I won't let your mother go to the family temple."

"Let's go back first. I'll ask my wife to come over this afternoon to pass on the message and visit the patient."

Although Clan Leader Jiang was very angry at the woman in the back house for her rudeness and her arrogance in ignoring the clan, seeing Jiang Ming'an like this, he didn't want to take things too far.

After all, the Jiang family and the Yong'an Marquisate were originally watching out for each other and were not enemies.
