old grace

"Who dares?!" Chen Xiu climbed out of the carriage, holding Chen Fu's tablet in her arms, and glared at Mrs. Jiang angrily.

Chen Xiu seldom deals with Madam Jiang, and doesn't take Madam Jiang seriously.

In his heart, he and Chen Qi are the only family in the world, and he and Chen Qi are brothers who crawled out of a mother's womb.As the saying goes, brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes. Clothes can be changed, but brothers can't be broken.What's more, Mrs. Jiang has no children and no blood relationship, so she is just an outsider living at home and can go out at any time.

"My elder brother's guard, I can't discipline it? But you, a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and a person with a foreign surname who is not sweet, come to my house to show off your power. I'm afraid it wasn't my elder brother who snatched you from Jiang's house, but only robbed you." Naked people, didn't you snatch the tutor?" Chen Xiu looked at the face of the general who was slapped, but couldn't hold back her chest tightness, and breathed sweetly at Mrs. Jiang.

Everyone in Xiangzhou knew that Mrs. Jiang was the daughter of a family that Chen Qi snatched from the Jiang family.The soldiers came to the city, surrounded and hired, and the Jiang family would never withdraw their troops if they did not accept the dowry.The Jiang family had no choice but to marry Mrs. Jiang.Although the three letters and six ceremonies are all in place, it is still out-and-out robbing the relatives.

This matter is not very glorious, usually no one dares to mention it.

Chen Xiu first scolded Mrs. Jiang for having no children, and then pointed out that she was a stolen woman, implying that she had no status in Xiangzhou, and Mrs. Jiang was completely angry.

"Bound." Mrs. Jiang stared at Chen Xiu coldly with a sullen face, "Whoever dares to resist will be killed without mercy."

The people Mrs. Jiang brought were divided into two groups, one group was her dowry maid, and the other group was the guards who followed Xie Qinghe's order.It's hard to say how powerful her maids are, but the guards are all elite.Before the two groups of people brought by Mrs. Jiang could react, Chen Li took the first step.

He backhanded the general who had just whipped him.

——Anyone with eyes knows that he is kind.

Mrs. Jiang never treats her servants as human beings, and she will be killed if she says she can die with a stick.As a survivor who was almost killed by Mrs. Jiang's stick, Chen Li also had some sympathy for this unclear general.They are all servants who obey orders, and in fact, they are not guilty of death.

However, that family will be smarter, take advantage of the situation and fall to the ground. After Chen Xiu is tied up here, how can Mrs. Jiang care about killing someone with a stick?

After Chen Li put down this general, he was going to arrest Chen Xiu.

A shocking scene happened.

The family that was knocked down straightened up a carp, stood up very coolly, and shouted: "Master Mo Dong!"

Chen Li: "..."

Wu Sui: "..."

The pink-faced Rong Gu rolled up her wide sleeves, took out a longbow and sharp arrow from the horse's rucksack, and shot an arrow with a hush.

In the middle of the family will forehead.

This scene made all the Chen family's children bloodshot at the corners of their eyes. Madam Jiang sent the guards to arrest Chen Xiu, or executed Chen Xiu's servants with sticks. No one would feel that it was strange.However, it was Mrs. Jiang's dowry maid who did the killing today, a real outsider.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Li quickly took Chen Xiu down, and ordered Chen Xiu's general and family boy: "If you strike the sword, you die!"

Mrs. Jiang was already offended, and she had the idea of ​​killing people.If Chen Xiu's servants dared to resist, there would definitely be a sea of ​​blood.

The twenty elite riders he brought all received his cue, they dismounted one after another and rushed at them, tying up all of Chen Xiu's entourage, never allowing the other party to resist and offend Mrs. Jiang in the slightest.

Chen Xiu was surprised and angry: "I'm a big brother and a fellow brother, how dare you take me?"

Mrs. Jiang went up to hold Chen Fu's spirit tablet, respectfully handed it to the accompanying elders, and said: "This is a strange thing. My father-in-law has three men and two women under his knees, but everyone goes to the ancestral hall to hold the god's seat of my father-in-law. Running outside, what do you want to do for the eldest son of the long branch who guards the shrine? Holding the father-in-law's god's throne is arrogant, and in the future, will you still hold the father-in-law's god's throne to go to the master to tell the superiors and inferiors? Call the people of the world Shame!"

The elders who guarded the ancestral hall asked Chen Xiu to carry the old Patriarch's tablet and run out, mainly because they were afraid of Chen Qi, thinking that it was Chen Qi's idea.

Now that Mrs. Jiang came out and reprimanded her, the elders knew that nothing happened at all, and that Chen Xiu was pretending to be a tiger and making her own decisions.They are all heroes who know the current affairs, and the truth of the world is of course inclined to the side with the bigger fist.Several family elders kept their promises and expressed their loyalty to Mrs. Jiang back and forth. They will definitely protect the tablet in the future and never let "anyone" take it away casually.

Chen Xiu was still jumping, but Chen Li couldn't hold back no matter what: "You woman has ulterior motives. Now someone has malicious intentions to usurp eldest brother's position as patriarch, and I will cut off the root of the trouble for eldest brother, but you take care of each other with the villain! You So what do you want to protect the second child? You and the elder brother can't have children, and you can't usurp the Chen family business, so you want to support the second child instead? When did you hook up with the second child?!"

These words were fresh and refined, not only Mrs. Jiang was dumbfounded, everyone present was shocked.

"Gu Rong." Mrs. Jiang slowly pulled up her whip, "twist his tongue."

Chen Li felt that this was not a good thing, and quickly thought of countermeasures.However, in the face of the furious Mrs. Jiang, who can persuade her?Lord?Thousands of miles away.Mr. Xiaolang?It is impossible for Mr. Xiao Lang to come out now even if he is killed.Then... who else?

Wu Sui is Wu Cun's son, and he doesn't have the weight to intervene in this kind of matter. He looks around at this moment, pretending that he didn't hear what happened.

What annoyed Chen Li the most was that those elders were also busy wiping and boasting about Chen Fu's memorial tablet, looking very busy, and they didn't even think about protecting Chen Xiu, the serious Chen family. children.

Rong Gu had dismounted and walked in front of him, holding a dagger in one hand, looking into Chen Li's eyes.

This cannot be done alone.

After hesitating again and again, Chen Li removed Chen Xiu's chin and squeezed his mouth open.Rong Gu pinched Chen Xiu's tongue neatly, pulled it out, raised the knife and dropped it—only a small part of her tongue was cut off.Chen Xiu let out a roar.

Rong Gu quickly returned behind Mrs. Jiang, Chen Li covered Chen Xiu's mouth, and blood soon covered his hands.

"Sanlang, don't move. Don't move!" Chen Li warned in a low voice.

Useless.

Chen Xiu was too frightened and angry. He couldn't believe that in Xiangzhou, where his brother was in power, his tongue would be cut off.

Chen Xiu commanded his generals angrily, trying to make them resist and seek justice and dignity for herself.But this is the moment Mrs. Jiang was waiting for.At the same time that Chen Xiu sprayed blood and ordered to fight back, Mrs. Jiang turned her horse's head and ordered coldly: "Cut them all down."

The maids headed by Rong Gu drew out their long swords, cut the throats of the generals who were detained in place, and killed them all.

Except for the trembling family elders hugging the coffin, only Chen Xiu, who had her tongue cut off, survived and was taken back to the prisoner of the Chen residence.

Mrs. Jiang didn't go back to the mansion directly, she rushed to Chen Ji's mansion without stopping, the guards guarding the gate didn't dare to stop her, and she let Mrs. Jiang drive straight in.Chen Ji and Mrs. Chang had separated long ago, Mrs. Jiang first went to the main hall to be visited by Chen Ji, and after a while, Mrs. Chang also rushed over.

Before Mrs. Chang could stand still, Mrs. Jiang raised her hand and hit Mrs. Chang's face with a whip!

No one thought that Mrs. Jiang was still carrying a horsewhip under her wide sleeves, let alone that she beat people when she met. The servants standing at the door were shocked and no one dared to move. Double rejection with Mrs. Chang——

"do not move!"

"Do you tube!"

Looking at Mrs. Chang's appearance, Chen Ji felt distressed and embarrassed, and vented his anger on the servants: "Go down."

The servants guarding the door divided into three groups, and Mrs. Jiang's maid never looked at Chen Ji, but stood quietly by the side, motionless.Mrs. Chang's servants secretly looked at Mrs. Chang's face, and when they saw Mrs. Chang nodded slightly, they quietly retreated.Chen Ji's servants withdrew immediately.

"Sister-in-law, what is the reason for today? There are many more guards at the gate. If others believe that I am going to murder Cong'er, sister-in-law can't believe it, right? Wouldn't it take so long to ask questions in person?" Chen Ji asked cautiously.

Mrs. Jiang glanced at the two of them, and said: "You were forced to marry your father and concubine back then, so why are you still thinking about it? Do you want to die?"

Hearing the word "father and concubine", Mrs. Chang turned pale and bowed her head in silence.

Chen Ji frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, why bring up the story again?"

"It's not that I want to repeat the story, it's that your matter is too absurd, but if there is any trouble, it will be brought up! Today Chen Xiu went to the ancestral hall to hold his father's altar, and ran to you with the elders—if it wasn't Jun'er came to me for help..."

Before Mrs. Jiang could finish her sentence, Mrs. Chang had already asked, "Jun'er? He...knows about this?!"

"Whether he knows, I'm not sure yet. However, this matter is not a secret. The elders in the family know it very well. Didn't you ever think that you would be ashamed of your children and grandchildren after you did such a scandal? A windy wall." Mrs. Jiang said indifferently.

"I just ask you, what do you want?" Mrs. Jiang turned to ask Chen Ji.

Chen Ji opened his mouth and said, "What? How?"

"When Zhan Xuanji returned to Xiangzhou, Chen Xiu wanted to take advantage of this to ruin you completely. You have to know in your heart that if you want you to be as beautiful as a flower, you will ruin yourself completely, and you will never be able to get back up again. No one will pick you just now. Your old affairs, poke your sore spots. If you don’t want to rot into the mud again, you can simply give up your beauty, or let go of your wife, or let her die violently—when a person dies, the blame is settled. This Is the reason simple?" Madam Jiang asked.

For Chen Ji and Chang's, this incident was a disaster without reason.

Before anyone took the opportunity to support Chen Ji and attack Chen Qi's legal status, Chen Xiu jumped out first and wanted to cut off potential risks for Chen Qi.As Mrs. Jiang said, Chen Ji must not be supported further by the rotten wood, and is too rotten to give opportunities to those who are interested. Otherwise, as Chen Qi's power increases, there will always be villains stabbing him in the back.

Regardless of whether the Chen Clan's world was brought down by Chen Qi or not, Chen Ji has natural grievances. He is a legitimate son, and he failed to inherit the family business.

However, there are many reasons why Chen Ji was deprived of his right of inheritance. Even taking advantage of his superiors and talents could not erase his grievances from his first son. There was only one crime that could wipe out all of Chen Ji's legitimacy—being a father and concubine.

When Chen Fu was alive, the family scandal was not allowed to be publicized. When Chen Qi was in Xiangzhou, no one dared to reveal this matter. It can be seen that the Chen family did not want this matter to be leaked.

Mrs. Jiang was so straightforward and tough when she dealt with Chen Xiu because she knew her father-in-law and husband's thoughts very well.

This matter is not allowed to be known by outsiders, and it is not allowed to make a fuss.

"I made peace with Ji Lang." Madam Chang said.

Mrs. Jiang didn't look at her at all, she just stared at Chen Ji: "Would you let your wife go?"

"In order to hire you as my wife, I broke up with my father and made my mother mad. Is it because of your flirtatious reconciliation today? Where are you going when you leave me? If someone wants to provoke my relationship with my eldest brother, where are you going?" They can't find it? Can you let Jun'er go?" Chen Ji asked rhetorically.

Mrs. Jiang showed a cruel smile, she had understood Chen Ji's decision.

Chen Ji walked up to Mrs. Chang, and gently stroked the welt marks on her face with his fingertips: "These days, you control the guards at the gate, control my daily necessities, and mess with my daily routine, don't you?" Very proud? Jun'er picked up Cong'er and backed you up, so you turned over and made the decision?——This is Xiangzhou, and Xiangzhou's surname is Chen. I like you, you are the noble lady, I don't like you, "

He lifted Mrs. Chang's chin, looked at her handsome face, and said in an indescribably gentle voice, "You are a lowly maid."

Mrs. Chang's color remained unchanged, and there was still a trace of contempt in her eyes.

Chen Ji stood up with a smile, and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Sister-in-law, strangle to death."

Mrs. Jiang stood in the hall, looking down at Mrs. Chang.Mrs. Chang was not very happy to look at her, she turned her head to look at the screen on the wall.Chen Ji waited for Mrs. Jiang's servants to come forward and strangle Mrs. Chang to death, but she didn't know that the servants didn't move. Mrs. Jiang took two steps forward, knelt down beside Mrs. Chang, and gently held her hand: "Are you still stubborn?"

Madam Chang burst into tears, and plunged into Madam Jiang's arms: "Woooooo..."

What the hell? !

Chen Ji was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell off.Don't you two have a very bad relationship?

Mrs. Jiang would slap Mrs. Chang's face every time she met, so Mrs. Chang didn't dare to go to her house to see her. Some people thought that they had a deep hatred. Look, it seems a bit small, right? !

Mrs. Chang cried a few times in Mrs. Jiang's arms, and Mrs. Jiang rubbed the back of her neck to comfort her silently.

After Madam Chang cried for a while, the servants skillfully came up to wipe Madam Chang's tears, Madam Jiang immediately took Madam Chang away.

Chen Ji was left in the house puzzled.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be... that Mrs. Chang's seduction of him was the shocking trap planned by Chen Qi and Mrs. Jiang?But that doesn't make much sense either.After all, who would have imagined that he dared to openly hire his father and concubine, even at the expense of falling out with his own father?

So... what is the relationship between them?Mrs. Jiang came to rescue her in such a hurry?
