At first, when Grandma Jiang saw that Grandpa Jiang had his leg broken while fighting over a woman, she felt like the sky was falling. She wondered what would happen to her and her young children without Grandpa Jiang.

But later, Linlang and her husband came to comfort her, which lessened her fear considerably. She thought that the Qinghe Dowager was not dead, her husband was not dead, and she could continue to live in the Prince's Mansion. If she continued to live in the Prince's Mansion, her elder brother and sister-in-law were nice people, and she didn't have to worry about the elderly, weak, women and children in her family being bullied. So she didn't have to worry. After all, the mansion would take care of her food, clothing and shelter, and if no one bullied her, she would be satisfied.

And there was something that pleased her even more.

Previously, Master Jiang's salary naturally went to him, and she had nothing to do with it. But now that he's in this state, his salary naturally goes to her, the head mistress of the third branch of the family.

The person in charge knew that from now on, Grandma Jiang would be in charge of the third branch of the family. Even if Grandma Jiang was timid and might not dare to manage the third branch at first, as time went on, Grandpa Jiang would be paralyzed in bed. He just wanted his salary and wanted to control it himself. Grandma Jiang would see that he was unable to move and that he was holding onto the money and not letting her and the children use it. Over time, she would definitely become unhappy. In that case, she would definitely have the person in charge collect Grandpa Jiang's salary on his behalf and then give the salary to Grandma Jiang.

What if the person in charge doesn't give it to her, or what will happen to Master Jiang? ...

While the Prince's residence might still have some control, once the Princess Dowager Qinghe is gone and the family separates, it will be Granny Jiang who will be in charge. If Third Master Jiang wants his salary but Granny Jiang refuses to give it to him, what can he do while lying in bed? He can just treat it as a dog barking.

Don't even mention that Master Jiang has manpower; Grandma Jiang could easily replace all his manpower with hers. Without manpower, who else can help Master Jiang?

Even if Grandma Jiang can't replace his men, he's paralyzed in bed, and Grandma Jiang has sent his men away. What can he do?
Therefore, Grandpa Jiang's salary will definitely end up in Grandma Jiang's hands.

Taking all this into consideration, the person in charge was willing to do her a favor, so he collected the salary on behalf of Third Master Jiang and handed it over to Third Madam Jiang.

Since I'll have to pay it sooner or later anyway, I might as well pay it sooner and do someone a favor.

As for what Third Master Jiang wants in return for his salary, if he can't get it, he can complain to the Dowager Princess Qinghe. The Dowager Princess Qinghe will force Third Madam Jiang to give the money to Third Master Jiang. That's a matter between their masters. As stewards, they only need to hand over the money to the person in charge of the Third Branch who can manage the household.

This was the first time Grandma Jiang had ever received so much money; her hands were trembling.

Before, she had no money except for the monthly allowance given to her by the manor. Now that she has such a large sum of money, how could she not be excited?

Grandpa Jiang wasn't asking for money right now, because his leg had just been broken and was still in excruciating pain. He estimated he would need to rest for at least a few months before the pain subsided, and only then would he be in the mood to bring up his salary.

Whether Grandma Jiang will give him a salary at that time is uncertain.

I'm afraid they won't give it to you. After all, once people have the money in their hands, who would be willing to give it away?

If Third Master Jiang were to complain to the Dowager Princess Qinghe, and the Dowager Princess Qinghe were to feel sorry for her son and force Third Madam Jiang to hand over her salary, that would be unwise. After all, she is old and will die sooner or later, and her son will need Third Madam Jiang's care. If she forces Third Madam Jiang to hand over the money to her son now, after she dies, Third Madam Jiang will take her hatred for her and retaliate against her son, and her son will be in trouble.

Therefore, a wise person should stop paying attention to Third Master Jiang's complaints. However, considering that the Dowager Princess Qinghe looks down on Third Madam Jiang's background (she looks down on Linlang's background as well, so of course she would look down on Third Madam Jiang, who comes from a humble background), and also looks down on her abilities (she thinks that the new daughter-in-law is not as capable as the previous daughter-in-law), it is indeed possible that such a thing could happen.

After all, she was an arrogant and domineering person, and given her love for her youngest son, she would definitely do this.

There will definitely be conflicts with Grandma Jiang San at that time, and when she dies, Grandpa Jiang San will have to pay the price for her actions.

But that's all for the future. Right now, Grandma Jiang received the money and was in a good mood. She suddenly realized that Grandpa Jiang's accident might not be a bad thing. At least she had an income, unlike before when Grandpa Jiang spent all the money and she got nothing in return.

If it weren't for the fact that the monthly allowance in the manor was meager and that Third Master Jiang didn't care about such paltry sums, he might have even taken her monthly allowance.

Besides this incident, other things happened in the third branch of the family. For example, the women in Jiang Sanye's backyard who had no children saw that Jiang Sanye's leg was broken and the doctor said that the leg could not be cured and that he would have difficulty walking normally in the future and might be paralyzed in bed. Some of them had the idea of ​​leaving after hearing this.

After all, they were still young, and most of them didn't want to be with Master Jiang on their own initiative; it was Master Jiang who forced them. Now that Master Jiang is in this state, they can't spend their whole lives on the paralyzed Master Jiang, so they want to leave and remarry.

When Master Jiang was in good health, they didn't dare to leave, fearing he would cause them trouble. Now that he's in this state, they're no longer afraid of him and naturally want to leave.

Don't think that they live in the palace now and have no worries about food and clothing. Why should they leave to get married? If they marry someone badly, they might live even worse than they do here.

If they weren't stupid, they would all understand that this life of comfort was only temporary. Once the Dowager Princess Qinghe passed away and the third branch of the family moved out, their income would be insufficient to support so many of them. They would either have to endure hardship or be sent away.

Rather than being sent away when they're too old, it's better to leave now. They're still young and can still marry into a good family.

When Grandma Jiang saw that they were about to leave, she consulted with the Dowager Princess Qinghe, who gave her permission, and then left with them.

Of course, when the Dowager Princess Qinghe first heard these women say they wanted to leave, she was naturally unhappy. She felt that those women had previously clung to her youngest son, and now that they saw how her youngest son was, they wanted to run away. She thought they were really despicable and didn't want to let them leave.

It was Grandma Jiang who dared to offer a word of advice, saying that since the Third Master was in such a state now, if these concubines wanted to leave, but the Dowager Consort was holding them back, what would happen if they told others about this? Wouldn't people outside say some unpleasant things about the Dowager Consort?

The Dowager Consort Qinghe knew this was the reason. Knowing that her son had become like this, she still wouldn't let the women he had forced into becoming concubines leave (in fact, she wasn't stupid; she knew what was going on, but she just didn't want to admit that her son was bad). Outsiders would definitely say that she was mean and ungrateful, which is why she reluctantly agreed to let the concubines leave.

Seeing that the Dowager Princess Qinghe had agreed to let them leave, more than half of the women in Third Master Jiang's harem left instantly. (End of Chapter)
