Chapter 35

The county magistrate finished his questioning, read the marriage certificate, finally gave a slap on the gavel, and ordered Rong Tiancheng and Jiang to be brought along.

Rong Lanxue could imagine the wonderful expression on Rong Tiancheng's face when he received the notice from the government, and he was secretly happy.But Mrs. Ye was panicked, fearing that Rong Tiancheng would blame him later, she was even more nervous than when she was beating the drums.

The official office is not far from Rong's mansion, so Rong Tiancheng and Jiang's came to the hall very soon, but one of them has an official position, and the other is ordered by the court, so they can't kneel like Rong Lanxue and Ye's. It's a bit noble.However, this nobility did not last long, because the county magistrate quickly came to a conclusion—Rong Tiancheng stopped his wife and remarried, sentenced him to divorce, and was punished ninety percent, but he could use his official position to replace the punishment.

The magistrate of that county obviously not only accepted Li Daren's benefits, but also expected Rong Tiancheng's filial piety, so although the verdict was made, it was not implemented immediately, but gave Rong Tiancheng time to consider, for a period of three days.Anyway, what Li Daren wanted was Jiang's reconciliation, as for Rong Tiancheng's punishment, he probably hoped for a lighter sentence, after all Ba Yiniang still depended on Rong Tiancheng to live.

After the county magistrate retired, Ye Shi was afraid to face Rong Tiancheng, so she shrank behind Rong Lanxue and moved out the door, hardly daring to raise her head.But how could Rong Tiancheng let it go, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the official office, he came straight to Mrs. Ye, with a face full of disappointment and sadness, and asked angrily: "Mother, you can do it when I'm married to you! "

Ye Shi hesitated to answer.

Rong Lanxue raised her head, pretending to be puzzled: "Father, Mother just wanted to be husband and wife with you, so she took out the marriage certificate."

Rong Tiancheng's resentment was blocked by these words, he was speechless, for a long time, he actually laughed, he didn't know if it was sincerity, or he was extremely angry: "Okay, okay, this is my good daughter."

Rong Lanxue showed a joyful smile: "They all said that Dad and I look the most alike."

Rong Tiancheng was taken aback for a moment, and actually looked her up. After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "Father is broken, what good will it do you?"

When you were prosperous, we didn't get along well, so what about your downfall?Rong Lanxue didn't take it seriously, but panic showed on her face: "Father, we just want to have a place to live, have food to eat, and not be bullied by others. We never thought of bringing you down."

Rong Tiancheng became angry again, and questioned: "When you didn't sue me, I also let you live in the mansion for your food and clothing!"

Rong Lanxue finally couldn't help showing a trace of sarcasm: "It's true that we don't have to worry about food and clothing, but we are locked in the bamboo pavilion and are not allowed to go out."

"That's not, that's not..." Rong Tiancheng probably also felt that it was inexplicable to blame Ba Yiniang's miscarriage on them, so he couldn't continue.

At this time, Jiang Shi came with Sister Qing, her face was pale but still graceful, the two walked up to Rong Tiancheng, bowed down and said decisively: "Master, let's just say goodbye."

This shouldn't be the attitude that a person sentenced to Heli should have. Isn't Jiang's intention to commit suicide?Rong Tiancheng felt a headache when he thought of the business dealings between the Rong family and the Jiang family, those unreasonable relationships, but he couldn't say anything in front of Mrs. Ye and Rong Lanxue, so he could only tell Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Taking it aside, he said, "Go back to your father-in-law's house first, and I'll pick you up after I've settled this matter."

Jiang Shi snorted coldly, and said decisively, "Master, don't you understand?"

Seeing her expression, Rong Tiancheng was stunned: "Understand what?"

Jiang suppressed her sadness and anger, choked up and said, "Master, do you think that as long as I'm still the wife of the Rong family, and Sister Qing is the eldest daughter of the Rong family, we'll be satisfied?"

"Then what do you want?" Rong Tiancheng was puzzled.

The Jiang family tightened Sister Qing's hand, as if to borrow some strength: "Master, you stop your wife and remarry. You actually want to expose such a big matter, and let me pretend that nothing happened, and I still manage the house for you. You discipline those concubines?"

"I, I..." Rong Tiancheng was speechless.

Jiang's face was full of tears, sobbing choked up. After many years of honor, it turned out to be a deception.

Sister Qing looked at Rong Tiancheng, and said softly: "Father, if this matter can be resolved privately, mother may not be so heartless, but the matter has already escalated, what face do you want her to stay in the mansion in the future? So, it's better to just reconcile and go back to Grandpa's house."

Rong Tiancheng was really upset, he didn't know how to appease Jiang Shi at the moment, and when he was going to plead with Ye Shi, he didn't know how to speak, he was really worried.

After a while, someone from the Jiang family came to pick up the Jiang family and Sister Qing. Rong Tiancheng wanted to keep Sister Qing, but he was ashamed, so he could only watch them leave.

What can he do now?Heli was sentenced by the magistrate of the county, and there is no room for maneuver, but he can divorce Mrs. Ye and marry Mrs. Jiang again.It's true that Mrs. Ye is his wife now, but the county magistrate didn't say that he couldn't give up?After thinking about it, Rong Tiancheng felt hopeful again, so he went to discuss the matter of the ninety sticks with the magistrate in high spirits.

At this moment, Mrs. Ye was at a loss and could only ask Rong Lanxue, "Xue'er, what should we do now?"

Rong Lanxue was in a happy mood, and said, "Naturally, we should go back to Rong Mansion, it will be our home from now on."

Mrs. Ye was terrified: "Your father hates us, why don't you drive us out."

Rong Lanxue said with a smile: "Father and the Jiang family reconciled, but the county magistrate personally settled the case. If he kicked us out, it would be a disgrace to the county magistrate. He will still do business in Linjiang County in the future. I don't dare to offend the magistrate too much after thinking about it."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Ye thought it made sense. Besides, they had nowhere else to go except Rong's mansion, so she followed Rong Lanxue and prepared to go to Rong's mansion.They hadn't walked a few steps before they saw Li Daren driving over in a carriage, inviting them to get in the carriage, saying: "How can Madam and Eldest Miss go back on foot, hurry up and get in the carriage."

Mrs. Ye was about to go up, but Rong Lanxue didn't appreciate it, and whispered: "Mother, Mrs. Jiang is gone. From now on, you will be the mistress of Rong's house. How can you get too close to my aunt's family?"

Ye suddenly came to her senses, declined Li Daren's kindness, and walked back home with Lan Xue.Li Daren followed them all the way, but he didn't see any sign of them changing their minds, so he couldn't help being extremely disappointed.

Jiang Zhiyuan stood in front of the gate of Rong's mansion, he frowned deeply, and paced back and forth in front of the gatehouse, while the gatekeepers were talking in groups of three and five, and no one paid any attention to him.Rong Lanxue went up to say hello to him, and Mrs. Ye invited him in, thinking that if there were outsiders around, Rong Tiancheng might not be able to punish her because it would be a hindrance to her face.

It was the Jiang family that Jiang Zhiyuan cared about, as soon as he saw them, he asked, "I don't know how my cousin is?"

Rong Lanxue didn't tell him about Jiang's defendant, but said: "She took Sister Qing back to her mother's house."

Jiang Zhiyuan stopped asking, thanked him, turned around and left, probably going to Jiang's house.

Rong Lanxue continued to pull Mrs. Ye to walk in. The porters looked strange when they saw them, and some of them stretched out their hands, as if they didn't know whether to stop them or not.Rong Lanxue didn't look sideways, and walked with her head held high, the servants finally stretched out their hands, and some even saluted.

Unexpectedly, there was an oilcloth trolley in the door, as if it was prepared for them.Rong Lanxue was wondering, when she saw the aunt came up to meet her, knelt down in front of her, kowtowed her head loudly, and thanked them repeatedly for avenging her.

Mrs. Ye was in a daze all the time, so Rong Lanxue had no choice but to stand up and said coldly: "We sued my father for our own sake, and it has nothing to do with you. We can't bear this."

The aunt didn't take it seriously, she knelt on the ground and said: "Actually, the master sends money to the wife and the eldest lady every year, but it was embezzled by the third uncle. I have brought him back, and let the wife and the eldest lady dispose of him. "

miss?Rong Lanqing was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about her.Rong Tiancheng seemed to have mentioned the matter of the third uncle, and it was for this that Aunt Ganqing went to Rong's Village.However, everyone in this mansion only cares about themselves, and Rong Lanxue didn't believe that she had such kindness, and said with a sneer, "If I'm not mistaken, my aunt originally brought third uncle to Linjiang to have a personal ID card. How about suing my father? It’s a pity that we snatched it up and the plan fell through, but anyway, the result is the same, and your wish has been fulfilled. Now that the third uncle is no longer useful, let’s go along with the flow and send him away. Come to us as a favor, don't you?"

The aunt was stunned, neither admitting nor denying it.

Rong Lanxue stared at her with a stern tone: "If you think that we come from the countryside and don't understand anything, so we can handle it and bully you, then you are wrong, no one is a fool, don't think you are smart. But— —" She calmed down, and said: "We only ask for little, but stability, and we don't want to harm anyone, as long as you abide by your duties, you will have a good life."

The auntie kowtowed heavily: "Miss misunderstood, I really came to thank you, the revenge of killing my son was so painful, and now I have finally avenged my revenge, I am grateful to the two of you, even if you don't appreciate it, I will thank you for this love." I also wrote it down, from now on, as long as my wife and eldest miss give orders, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate." Then, he stretched out his hand towards the oil truck: "Madam, eldest miss, please get in the car, all the aunts are waiting in the hall I'm going to say hello to you."

Such a big battle?The Jiang family was the first to leave.Are they looking forward to this day for too long, or are they too adaptable and don't care who is in charge?Rong Lanxue was slightly surprised, but she didn't refuse the auntie's overtures, and helped Mrs. Ye get into the car—she didn't want to get too close to these aunts, but she didn't want to get stiff either, after all, she would be under the same roof in the future next life is not it?
The aunt did not get into the car with them, but followed behind the car with her head half down, respectful.

The small oil truck stopped in front of the hanging flower door, and women and maidservants immediately came up to greet them, those holding benches took benches, and those holding umbrellas held umbrellas—even though there were only a few sporadic rains in the sky, it couldn't wet the hair at all.

Rong Lanxue walked out of the car with the arm supported by the maid, thinking that the treatment was really different.After entering the Chuihua Gate and walking up the Chaoshou verandah, the one leading the way was Qiu Li who guided them the way the day they entered the mansion.Probably because she was afraid that they would settle old scores, Qiuli was very cautious, and Rong Lanxue almost walked along the sidelines when she saw her several times.

In fact, this girl is not bad, but she was forced by the situation of a high-ranking person, so when Rong Lanxue stepped into the main room, she smiled at her, but who knew that Qiuli was even more nervous, which really made her laugh and cry .

As soon as he stepped into the hall door, a servant girl came forward to greet him, saluted respectfully, and said: "Madam, eldest miss."

Rong Lanxue raised her eyes and couldn't help laughing. This person is not the usual high-spirited Lianxiang, but who is it?At this moment, she withdrew her sharp edge, lowered her eyebrows and looked down, as if she had changed herself.Rong Lanxue suddenly remembered that just now at the gate of the official yamen, when Jiang boarded the car and left, she brought Lu Zhu'er to wait for a few maids, so she asked casually, "Why didn't you go with Jiang?"

Lianxiang probably thought she was looking for trouble, but she trembled all over, tried to smile and said: "The ones who followed her are all the original companions. I am the maid of Rongfu, so I stayed." After finishing speaking He hastily added: "Previously, the servants were disrespectful to the wife and the young lady, all at Jiang's instigation, and the servants were also forced to do nothing. I hope that the wife and the young lady will be large enough to spare the servants..."
