Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 455

"Then what does father mean? Let me stay in the Du family and be bullied?" Hua Ye's tone was still aggressive.

Madam Jiang spread her hands and said, "So what are you going to do? Break up with the Du family, get a divorce letter and go back to your parents' home?"

"Why should I give him a divorce letter? If I want a divorce, I should divorce Du Ziren. This heartless guy actually ignored me for a concubine. Others may be able to swallow this, but I absolutely cannot."

"So, you humiliated his new concubine? To the point where she jumped into the river out of shame? You know, that was a living life, how come you don't feel any guilt at all?"

In the past, Mrs. Jiang only thought that Hua Ye was arrogant and domineering, but she was not a bad person after all. Now seeing that she was indifferent to a human life and was still worried about Du Ziren's attitude towards her as his wife, it can be seen how cruel and stupid this person is.

Thinking of what her daughter had said, that the Jiang family might be implicated by the Du family, Mrs. Jiang's heart moved, and she said, "Since you don't want to stay in the Du family, your father and I will go to the Du family to discuss it, and you two can get a divorce, how about that?"

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang's tone was quite serious, Huaye hesitated: "Actually, I want to take me back to my parents' home first. It won't be too late for me to come back after the Du family's matter is settled."

"I understand what you mean. Now that the Du family is in trouble, it was you who started it. So, you want to hide away for a while, and when the Du family has dealt with it, you can come back and continue to be your young lady, right?"

Huaye was not embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed. Instead, he generously admitted: "As long as you help me this time, I will be fine in the future and never cause trouble again."

In fact, even if these words were true, Hua Ye would never have said them before. In her world, whatever she wanted was justified, and her father's love was as deep as the sea, which she could use inexhaustibly.

However, in the past six months, she found that this was not the case, especially when Jiang Yue was able to marry into the royal palace as a princess. Hua Ye had already vaguely felt that perhaps her life was not as smooth as she thought.

When Mrs. Jiang saw Hua Ye surrender for the first time, she felt as refreshed as drinking ice water in June.

Of course, she knew that the purpose of her coming here was not to see Hua Ye surrender, but it was just an unexpected surprise.

"Well, we are all family. We prosper together and suffer together. Can we really ignore you?" Mrs. Jiang knew when to stop and followed suit with some heartfelt words that were touching.

Both of them were willing to cooperate, and their relationship improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Jiang said, "Let's go and meet your mother-in-law and see what her plan is."

"My mother-in-law doesn't want to see me. I'm afraid it would be in vain for us to go." Hua Ye looked indignant. Her mother-in-law had always been indulgent and kind to her. Her sudden change of attitude made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she felt even more aggrieved and dissatisfied.

"She won't see you, but she can't not see me. Let's go. As long as your father is still alive, as long as your father still has the military power, the Du family will have to give us a little face." Mrs. Jiang stood up, raised her chin slightly, the smile on the corner of her mouth was calm and slightly proud.

Hua Ye always felt that this stepmother could not be compared with her biological mother. She looked down on her stepmother from the bottom of her heart, and also looked down on the children she gave birth to.

Just at this moment, Hua Ye had a flash of inspiration, and she suddenly realized that this woman could sit firmly in the position of the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, her daughter could marry well, her son was steady, and she would be the head of the Marquis' Mansion in the future, so she could not be a presentable person.

Sure enough, Du's mother did not even make things difficult for Mrs. Jiang and immediately invited her in.

However, Du's mother did not look very happy. It was not entirely because she was showing displeasure to Huaye and Madam Jiang, but because the Du family's affairs were indeed a bit tricky. Du's mother had not been able to eat or sleep well for several days.

"My dear wife, your face is not looking good. You should take care of yourself." Mrs. Jiang said politely. "Alas, our old master always said that our family is an important official and a relative by marriage. There are so many eyes on our family. People's hearts are hard to see and guess. So, he always asked the family to be kind and cautious. But I never thought that I would be caught by someone."

Huaye frowned and opened her mouth to speak, but Mrs. Jiang grabbed her hand and spoke first: "Yes, if our Marquis had not been attracted by the good family tradition of the Du family, he would never have married Huaye to the Du family!"

"Haha, it's my fault too!" Mother Du smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "After she got married, I pitied her and indulged her a little. She acted unruly several times, and I didn't want to use my status as a mother-in-law to restrain her. I always thought she would be sensible when she was older. I didn't expect it!"

A sigh determined Huaye's guilt, and also expressed endless helplessness and regret.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but sigh. If her daughter-in-law had such a personality in the future, she would probably have a headache.

"It's because I, as her mother, didn't teach her well that you have been in so much trouble and difficulty. Don't worry, I'll go back and discuss with her father to see what to do next."

Mother Du smiled, glanced at Huaye who was rarely silent, and said, "I don't need to say much about how I treat Huaye. She naturally understands. I think you all know it very well too."

"We understand. Please take good care of my daughter. She has realized her mistakes after what happened. If she still doesn't obey, you can discipline her according to the family rules. Her father and I will definitely not interfere."

"Well, of course." Du's mother nodded, speaking vaguely, and then looked at Huaye: "Originally, this matter is easy to solve. We just need to hand over Huaye, but the old master is unwilling to do so. If so, our Du family will inevitably suffer some blame and difficulties. Therefore, I hope that the Marquis can help our Du family overcome the difficulties together."

Mrs. Jiang picked up the teacup and drank tea, lowering her eyes slightly to hide the disdain in her eyes.

If the Du family hands over Hua Ye, they can quickly resolve the current problem.

It’s a pity that we lost even more.

First, the power and dignity of the Du family will be completely destroyed. The Du family can even abandon their daughter-in-law, which shows that they are at the end of their rope. Moreover, it will terrify those who follow them.

Secondly, Marquis Jianyong would definitely become mortal enemies, so the Du family did not dare to take this shortcut.

Mrs. Jiang knew very well that Hua Ye's matter was just a breakthrough in the fight between the various parties, and what everyone cared about was never an arrogant woman like Hua Ye.

"We are in-laws, and my Lord Marquis has been taken care of by my in-laws in the past, so don't worry, my in-laws, no matter when, the Lord Marquis will naturally be of the same mind as the Du family."

Mother Du then showed a slight smile on her face, and found a reason to let Huaye go back first, as she wanted to have a private talk with Mrs. Jiang.

The two of them don't have a very good relationship, so how can they have any personal conversation?

But Hua Ye said no more at this time. He stood up, bowed perfunctorily, and then left.

Mrs. Jiang and Du's mother both watched her disappear before turning back to look at each other. Both of them had complicated emotions towards Hua Ye in their eyes, and they were both seen clearly by the other.

"Does my dear wife have anything for me to say to our Lord?" Mrs. Jiang put away her distracting thoughts and asked straight to the point.
