Chapter 135 Making trouble
Chapter 135 Making trouble
After Jiang Tian was born, Marquis Yongning and Aunt Zhao also planned to save a dowry for their daughter. Large items such as the bed and the dressing table had already been packed and stored, so that they would not be in a hurry when they got married. Since it was Jiang Tian's wedding, the Qiao family sent Aunt Zhao to arrange the layout of the Yongning Hou Mansion. It was also considered as a gift to the West, so that Jiang Tian could live in peace before getting married.
Qiao didn't expect that after being so generous and courteous to them, Jiang Tian would still make a scene and slap her in the face, saying that her aunt was unkind and gave her a small dowry. Previously, Marquis Yongning wanted to get more dowry for Jiang Tian, but Qiao refused with reason. He thought that the matter would be over, but Jiang Tian still got into a fight.
Mrs. Yongning Hou is not afraid of them, she just doesn't want to talk to them on weekdays, but this has fueled their arrogance and even stirs up trouble when she gets married.
Mrs. Qiao invited the senior elders of the Jiang family in Kyoto to come to the house, as well as her younger brother Cheng Guogong and her younger sister-in-law Ms. Cai, to explain the matter openly and honestly in the meeting hall;
Otherwise, people in Kyoto who don't know the truth really think that as the mistress of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Qiao treated the concubine harshly and embezzled the dowry of the concubine. This is a stigma that Ms. Qiao cannot bear.
Jiang Tian had already been controlled by Qiao's mother-in-law at this time, and he no longer had the courage to rush to the main courtyard and loudly reprimand his aunt for being unkind.
Jiang Tian's weak body trembled, tears streaming down her face, and she begged, "Father, my daughter got distracted and offended her mother. Please let her spare her life."
Marquis Yongning did not expect that his daughter, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, could make such a big fuss when she acted recklessly. He quickly stopped his wife, Qiao, and said, "Madam, this is a family matter of our Marquis's residence. There is no need to bother Uncle Clan and Mr. and Mrs. Cheng Guo to judge. "
The people who stopped Jiang Tian were all close old servants who had been serving her for more than ten years in the main courtyard of the Qiao family. They did not pay attention to the majesty of Yongning Marquis and only obeyed the orders of the Qiao family.
Qiao drank her tea slowly, without even looking at Jiang Tian. She ignored Marquis Yongning's words and only waited for the distinguished guests she invited.
Aunt Zhao quickly walked into the main hall, knelt down directly at Mrs. Qiao's feet, and begged in a low voice, "Madam, the eldest lady is still young and ignorant. Please spare her this time."
Jiang Tian deliberately came to the main courtyard to cause trouble, but Aunt Zhao didn't know about it at first. It was because Marquis Yongning found out and sent someone to deliver it to her that she came late.
Mrs. Qiao snorted coldly, "You're about to get married, and you're not too young."
When Marquis Yongning saw his concubine and his cousin kneeling on the ground begging, and his daughter Jiang Tian also looking weak and helpless, he suddenly became angry and threatened in a stern voice: "Ms. Qiao, do you have to be so merciless today?"
Most women who regard their husbands as their first priority would be shaken by the words of Marquis Yongning, but Qiao was different. The reason why she could stand firm without being favored by Marquis Yongning in Yongning Marquis's mansion was not just Marquis Yongning's respect;
Ms. Qiao herself was quite capable, she was the wife of a well-known family, and she was also the aunt of Duke Chengguo. She was not afraid of the verbal threats from Marquis Yongning.
Fortunately, there was no need for Mr. Qiao to reply. By chance, Uncle Clan and Mr. and Mrs. Cheng Guogong had already arrived at the main courtyard. Seeing the situation of everyone in the hall, they had suspicions in their minds.
Mrs. Qiao ordered people to take Aunt Zhao, mother and daughter Jiang Tian down to take care of them, and sent out all the people serving in the house.
After the five people greeted each other and sat down, Mrs. Qiao explained to everyone in detail the incident of Jiang Tian, the concubine, who ran to the main courtyard and slandered her aunt for treating the concubine's dowry harshly, regardless of her dignity and etiquette.
Uncle Jiang is only a few years older than Marquis Yongning, but because of his seniority, the Jiang family often asks his uncle to judge on matters in Kyoto;
After listening to Mrs. Yongninghou's story, the clan uncle glanced at Yongninghou and kept twirling his beard in a contemplative manner.
After hearing this, Duke Cheng and his wife expressed their anger directly on their faces, expressing their displeasure towards Jiang Tian and Marquis Yongning.
Duke Cheng Guo had long been dissatisfied with Marquis Yongning's behavior of pampering his concubines. If Qiao had not begged him not to interfere, he would have forced Marquis Yongning to get rid of Aunt Zhao who seduced his brother-in-law more than ten years ago. "Does the Marquis make a decision?"
Duke Cheng Guo no longer calls Marquis Yongning "brother-in-law" for a long time. He usually calls him by his title when he sees him. When Marquis Yongning saw that everyone was looking at him, he cleared his voice and said in a deep voice: "It is Tian'er's fault. The dowry given by Madam is the official rule, and there is no deduction. Let Tian'er kowtow to Madam to apologize."
After hearing what Marquis Yongning said, Duke Cheng Guo sneered with a merciless "Haha": "Master Marquis, are you taking things for granted?"
Seeing that her husband was agitated, Lady Cai, the wife of Duke Cheng Guo, quietly tugged on Duke Cheng Guo's sleeve and said, "Master Marquis, the eldest lady of your house disrespects your aunt's mother and slanders the mistress in her yard and spreads rumors to cause trouble. If Without severe punishment, where would Mrs. Hou’s dignity be?”
Ms. Cai is a scheming person. She is very puzzled that her eldest sister Qiao can tolerate a concubine climbing over her and dominating her for more than ten years. She feels that Ms. Qiao is too soft-hearted.
Marquis Yongning and the upright Duke Cheng Guo could still exchange a few words, but it would be difficult for Marquis Yongning to refute his wife and sister-in-law Cai's soft knife.
"Uncle, madam, Duke Cheng, younger siblings, Tian'er's wedding date has been decided and she will get married soon. It's best not to make any announcement about this matter."
The uncle of the Jiang family was mainly thinking about the interests of the Jiang family, and also considered that this matter would harm the reputation of the Hou Mansion, so he echoed: "Niece-in-law, this is a family matter, and I also think it is better not to cause any complications."
Duke Cheng Guo was afraid that Mrs. Qiao would be soft-hearted, so he urgently advised: "Sister, are you being insulted by a concubine in vain? How will you be the mistress of the house in the future, and what will be the prestige of our Duke Cheng Guo's house?"
Lady Cai, the wife of Duke Cheng Guo, also did not agree with letting this matter go easily, and whispered to Lady Qiao: "Sister, please don't be confused anymore."
For a moment, everyone in the room turned their attention to Mrs. Qiao, waiting for Mrs. Qiao's reply.
Mr. Qiao had already considered the pros and cons of this matter before inviting a few people over, and nodded in agreement with his uncle's opinion.
Uncle Clan and Marquis Yongning were very pleased with Qiao's generosity, while Duke Cheng and his wife were a little disappointed with the eldest sister Qiao's behavior.
At this moment, Mrs. Qiao ignored the thoughts of the people in the hall and solemnly said to Marquis Yongning: "Master Hou, I can bear a little injustice in this matter. In order to end future troubles forever, the eldest lady Jiang Tian must sign an agreement with me. ”
Qiao ordered someone to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a "letter of dissolution" by hand, stating that Jiang Tian's prosperity or poverty after her marriage had nothing to do with Mrs. Yongning Hou and her children.
When Duke Cheng and his wife saw the content of the divorce letter, their hearts dropped, and they all sighed inwardly: "The eldest sister finally knows how to protect herself."
Uncle Jiang and Marquis Yongning looked at it with the divorce letter, frowning and saying nothing for a long time.
After a long time, Marquis Yongning asked: "What is the difference between Madam's move and letting Tian'er exterminate the clan?"
