Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 445

Mrs. Jiang's good mood was completely dampened by Hua Ye's words. She was instantly furious. The anger that had been suppressed for a long time occupied her entire heart and rushed to her brain with great force.

With a crisp "slap" sound, Mrs. Jiang slapped Huaye on the face. Huaye was so stunned that he forgot to dodge, let alone the burning pain on his face.

She stared blankly at Mrs. Jiang who was retreating in panic, unable to believe that this timid stepmother dared to hit her.

Mrs. Jiang also acted impulsively in a rage. After the fight, she immediately came to her senses and regretted it. However, the long-suppressed frustration in her heart seemed to have found an outlet. For the first time, Mrs. Jiang felt so happy.

The little regret she had was quickly dispelled by the feeling of relief. It turned out to be such a wonderful feeling. Mrs. Jiang lowered her head and looked at her hands: From now on, it will be difficult to let myself down again.

"How dare you hit me?" Hua Ye's question was filled with disbelief, grievance, and endless anger. For a moment, she didn't know which emotion was more serious.

Mrs. Jiang raised her head and calmly looked at Hua Ye, whose eyes were wide open. "I am your mother, so what if I hit you? It is natural for a mother to teach her child. No matter what, is there anyone who would say that I am wrong?"

"My mother is a princess. Do you think you are worthy of being my mother?" Hua Ye screamed, looking very rude and crazy.

Hua Ye knew how to provoke Mrs. Jiang. This sentence was like a sharp knife that had stabbed Mrs. Jiang countless times. The reason why Mrs. Jiang had tolerated Hua Ye for so many years was also because of this sentence.

Mrs. Jiang laughed in anger: "Haha, I don't care if you don't recognize me as your mother. After all, I have good daughters and sons. But I don't know what your noble princess mother would think if she saw you in your current state."

".You are not worthy of mentioning my mother. My mother is a noble princess. You are all lowly things. You are not worthy of mentioning my mother."

Hua Ye's roar was heard clearly by Jian Yonghou who had just returned from outside. He paused, as if he realized for the first time that his daughter's hysteria was so unbearable to watch.

He regarded her as a treasure, the apple of his eye. Although she was a little spoiled, she had the capital to be spoiled.

Now, his beloved daughter was yelling at her stepmother like a mad woman, while her sister Jiang Yue stood quietly beside her mother as usual, shivering and aggrieved as if she was frightened.

Marquis Jianyong frowned. His daughter, who was going to be the princess, was so cowardly and timid. Once she entered the palace, how would she fight against the concubine who came in on the same day, not to mention the other concubine who came in later.

So, Marquis Jianyong scolded his eldest daughter for the first time and ordered her to go back to her husband's home and not come back to her parents' home to make trouble from time to time.

Hua Ye cried and smashed things in the room, most of which were Jiang Yue's dowry.

Mrs. Jiang wanted to step forward to stop it, but Jiang Yue held her back tightly and motioned for her mother to look at her father's expression.

So, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yue stood in the corner, saying nothing, watching Hua Ye go crazy.

After she had finished smashing things and crying enough, she realized that her father was sitting on a chair, looking at her coldly, with no more heartache and warmth in his eyes as before.

His eyes shifted to the side, where he saw Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yue huddled in the corner. There was fear on Jiang Yue's face, but when Hua Ye looked over, she smiled a triumphant smile.

The smile was faint and disappeared quickly, but Huaye would not be wrong. Jiang Yue was laughing at her. This home was no longer her safe haven.

Hua Ye left, leaving in a dejected and resolute manner.

Marquis Jianyong still felt distressed and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Mrs. Jiang, who pointed at the mess in the room and asked worriedly what to do.
The wedding was supposed to happen quickly, but purchasing the dowry now would take time, and money was also a big problem.

Marquis Jianyong could only stay and deal with the matters at hand and could not take care of Hua Ye for the time being.

Qin Cui sent someone to General Huo's residence to ask why Huo Jianguang left in a hurry. The explanation was the same as what he told Su, that he had to deal with important matters, but he didn't go into details.

Two days later, Xiao Chenyu returned home and explained to Qin Cui that Huo Jianguang had forced the Queen Mother to give in on the young prince's marriage, but also agreed to the Queen Mother's condition of leaving the capital immediately.

"Of course, this is the apparent reason for leaving, and even General Huo took the opportunity to leave."

Qin Cui knew that there must be more secret things and plans.

Xiao Chenyu did not hide the truth from Qin Sui, and whispered to her, "Du Ziren's aunt is the mother of Prince Su. This Prince Su has made his fiefdom prosperous without showing off. It is said that he has also raised a lot of soldiers."

"Is General Huo trying to restrain this person from returning?" Qin Sui whispered with her hands covering her lips. Such a big matter should be handled with caution.

Xiao Chenyu nodded slightly, and then sighed: "If I hadn't been able to access the secret report now, I would definitely not have known about this. Even the real reason why the general left was my guess."

"That is to say, on the surface, it seems that we took advantage of General Huo, but in fact, it was General Huo who took the initiative to give us the opportunity to take advantage of him. In fact, it can be said that we are the pawns."

"Maybe, it may not be so." Xiao Chenyu didn't dare to guarantee it, so he could only say something vague and ambiguous to comfort Qin Cui.

"That's what I was wondering, why did the Huo family's housekeeper say those strange things to my mother? It seems that these words were not meant for my mother, but for someone with ulterior motives."

The Su family and the Huo family are close, and this fact cannot be hidden from others, although they cannot find out the reason for their connection?
Now, everyone should say that Qin Sui and his wife are villains who used Huo Jianguang to achieve their own goals, causing Huo Jianguang to leave indignantly.

Of course, this is also what the Queen Mother and the Du family want to see. After all, not many people know that Huo Jianguang interfered in the young prince's marriage. The Queen Mother does not want people to know that she has lost in this competition and she is no longer the one who has the final say in this world.

Qin Cui felt a little headache, but she couldn't blame Huo Jianguang. After all, she was not innocent. She really wanted to use Huo Jianguang, so she advised Su to visit Huo Jianguang more often.

"Now I understand why the old general could become a great general without any background, and even defeat the powerful Ninth Prince back then."

Qin Sui asked again: "Why didn't the Ninth Prince go to his fiefdom, but stayed in the capital?"

"The princes who stayed in the capital were either very favored and the palace didn't want them to be too far away, or they were very unfavored and could just be given a mansion to stay. How could there be so many fiefs to give them?"

"Of course, the Ninth Prince is special. In the beginning, he didn't go to his fiefdom because he was favored. Later, of course, he was worried about leaving the capital. If we let him go, wouldn't that be like letting a tiger return to the mountains and leaving troubles behind?"
