Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 322 Exchange Conditions
Wan Chengyao slapped Wan Zhigao with a slap, and the pain hurt several people. First of all, the first one who couldn't bear it was old lady Wan. Old lady Wan stepped forward, hugged Wan Zhigao and cried bitterly.

Wan Baocai was originally sitting on a chair, but Wan Chengyao's slap made him stand up suddenly, pointing at Wan Chengyao tremblingly, wanting to say something, moved his mouth, but then bent down to hug him Wan Zhigao.

Jiang's eye circles were already red, and she wanted to go forward, but Wan Zhigao knelt in front of Wan Baocai. She would have been hugged by the old man and the old lady, so she could only hold Wan Cheng sobbingly. Glorious sleeves.

"Master, on this hot day, it doesn't matter if you broke your son. What should parents do if they want to have a good relationship? The son is just young and ignorant. Now he knows his mistake. We are all a family, and Zhiyuan is too To be more ruthless, for a mere few thousand taels of silver, I even sued my own elder brother, woo woo, is this still human?"

Seeing him, Wan Zhigao cried out, "Father, hit me, hit me to death, I want to kill myself too, I really don't want to live anymore, my life is a joke and a disgrace. If it wasn't for the fear of my grandparents being sad, I would have wanted to die a long time ago..."

After Wan Zhigao finished speaking, he slapped himself twice, which naturally caused the old lady to cry again.

Mai Xiang and Huai Ci watched this farce like two outsiders.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang rushed to Huaici angrily, and cursed: "Zhiyuan, thanks to you being a young master, you have read all your books to the stomach, so why don't you comfort the old lady at this time?" A few words from the old man, you are still sneering here, are you still human? Even if I treated you badly in the past, I still raised you up. Who is Zhigao? Zhigao is your only real brother. Father, what is the difference between you suing your own brother to the yamen and suing your father to the yamen?"

"Shut up, while you stay there, first tell me how your son met that Bei Zi." Wan Chengyao pulled Jiang Shi away and threw him aside.

"Father, the problem now is to get the second brother to withdraw the pleadings." Wan Zhigao talked about him.

"What else do you have to hide, tell me honestly." Wan Chengyao didn't intend to let this son go, he was too disappointed in this son.

"Grandpa, grandma, me, me..."

"Son, tell me how you met that master Bei Zi, and how did you think of working with him?" Wan Baocai asked.

Huaici only told him that Wan Zhigao had hooked up with a beige, but didn't say how. Wan Baocai questioned him a few times, but seeing that Wan Zhigao didn't say anything, he gave up, thinking that sending him to the academy would be fine. After we separated, who knows, it still made a big mistake.

At this time, Wan Baocai regretted it very much. If he hadn't cared about his grandson's face and trusted him too much, the matter might not have developed to the point where it is today.

"Say it, tell me quickly." Wan Chengyao also forced to ask.

"I, I, I met him when I ran away from home last time. He knew the reason why I ran away from home, and he laughed at my dignified young master of the Wan family for not being as good as a son born to a maid. Later, when he saw that I was pitiful, I want to help me, I have no other intentions, I just want to prove that although I am not as good as my second brother in school, I can also do business. I can be better than my second brother. I only believed his words because I was fighting for breath, how would I know what he did behind my back?" Wan Zhigao said lightly.

"That's all?" Wan Chengyao didn't believe it.

"that's it."

After Wan Zhigao finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Huaici, this action was discovered by Wan Chengyao.

"Zhiyuan, tell me." Wan Chengyao said.

"Me?" Huaici was taken aback, not expecting to be called by name.

"Don't hide it for him. It's over now. If you still hide it for him, you will hurt him." Wan Chengyao said through gritted teeth.

"Yes."

Huaici then told the story of his unintentional rescue of Wan Zhigao when he went to Beizi Mansion that day. As for what happened to Wan Zhigao in Beizi Mansion, Huai Ci did not see it with his own eyes, so he did not speculate wildly.

"Father, I just brought him out of Beizi's mansion. I don't know anything else. I don't know why elder brother hooked up with Master Beizi. I asked him, but he didn't admit it."

Seeing Huaici say this, Wan Zhigao breathed a sigh of relief, but Wan Baocai is not an idiot, if there is no plan, can Wan Zhigao be locked up by others?
Besides, although Wan Zhigao's appearance is not as handsome as Huai Ci's, but compared to ordinary men, he is fair and delicate, comparable to a woman.

"The family is unlucky, the family is unlucky." Wan Baocai's face was ashen.

"My poor grandson, what is this all for, what is it for, you have a good life, but you have to find your own sins, what should you do..." The old lady slapped Wan Zhigao while crying, Weeping and crying, the pain hit my heart, and I passed out.

The old lady fainted, the old man couldn't hold on anymore, he also collapsed, but he didn't faint, he just said that his chest was tight, Huai Ci hastily sent someone to call for a doctor.

After the doctor left, the old lady woke up and turned her eyes. Wan Zhigao rushed forward, and the old lady grabbed Wan Zhigao's hand.

"Zhiyuan, he is your elder brother, you should withdraw the pleading paper." The old lady looked at Huaici and said.

"Grandmother, I am not the only one involved in this matter. The silk merchants in the whole capital are involved. I lost 3000 taels of silver by myself. There are dozens of them, and each of them lost more or less money. , I have to explain to others." Huaici said.

"We will pay the money, we will pay." Jiang said hastily.

"I have one more exchange condition." Seeing Jiang's opening, Huai Ci said.

"What condition?" Wan Baocai asked.

"I want to seek justice for me and my biological mother." After Huai Ci finished speaking, she stared at Jiang Shi.

"What? What do you mean? No matter how wrong I am, I am your mother. What do you want to do?" Seeing Huaici's cold eyes, Jiang felt something was wrong.

"That's all I ask. I don't want someone like you to be my mother again."

"Are you crazy? You disobedient and unfilial thing, do you really think of yourself as a person? You're just a child of a slut, a lowly stinky young man who was played to death by others. What do you think you are? You still want to climb on top of me..." Hearing this, Jiang yelled again, ignoring his usual self-cultivation.

"Madam, I advise you to keep some virtue in your mouth. My husband-in-law was forced to say it anyway, and he said it to save his father from being cheated by his cruel aunt. It's not my fault for saying anything, but you My precious son is different, we rescued him, and he was sent to the door, and even the money was sent to the door to be played by others, this is really self-satisfied and depraved, really cheap." Mai Xiang Said.

"Grandfather, there is no need to discuss this matter. Let's go and see you at the gate of the yamen." Seeing that the Jiang family did not save any face for him, why would he bother to save face for Wan Zhigao?

"Shut up, you crazy woman, do you really want to kill your own son?" Wan Chengyao slapped Jiang, and Jiang came to his senses.

The point now is not whether she will be divorced, but her precious son will be sent to prison, and his reputation as a scholar will be removed. In the future, his children will also not be able to take scientific examinations. What should I do?

"I agree to divorce my wife. This woman is too vicious. I want to divorce a long time ago." Wan Chengyao said.

"But, my two poor granddaughters are not married yet." The old lady said weakly.

"The younger sisters are already engaged, and the date of marriage has also been set, you can find an excuse yourself." Huai Ci pursed her lips after speaking.

"This?" The old lady looked at Wan Baocai.

Seeing the situation, Jiang quickly knelt down in front of Wan Baocai.

"Father, mother, my daughter-in-law has served you all these years. There is no credit but hard work. My daughter-in-law has broken her heart for this family. What I said just now was out of my mouth. It was not my intention. I was just confused by Zhiyuan's anger." , father and mother, you have to say something fair for me, there is no one in the family who does not have bumps and bumps, and they can't go to the gate of the yamen as soon as something happens, right? The Wan family will lose face at that time."

"Wan Zhiyuan, what do you want to do? The grievance between the two of us has nothing to do with my mother? No matter how bad my mother is, she is also your aunt. What did she do wrong that you want to treat her like this?"

Although Wan Zhigao didn't quite understand what Jiang did wrong, but Jiang was his biological mother, so he couldn't watch Jiang get angry.

"Okay, Wan Zhigao, haven't you been complaining that God is unfair to you all the time, and think that you are the most pitiful person? Let me tell you what I have experienced in these years. Thanks to your mother, my biological mother is here I was tortured to death when I was six years old. When I was dying, I only told me that I was not allowed to take concubines in this life. She didn’t want other women to experience her pain; I was released from the side courtyard when I was eight years old. Learning; at the age of 14, I was climbed into bed by a maid, just because my husband praised me for my high understanding, I can try it out, your mother was afraid, and took every precaution to guard against me; at the age of 15, I was cheated by your mother What did I get into Mr. Pei’s house, I wanted to escape again and again, I was caught and whipped again and again, until I couldn’t run anymore; half a year later, I finally returned home and entered the academy again, your mother I found someone to slander me as a broken sleeve, and I left the academy with a scapegoat. There was no academy to accept me. I had to leave Wanjia and change my name to seek a living outside, because I didn't know that I stayed and waited for my future. What else? Wan Zhigao, do you dare to say that God is not fair to you? What about me? What are my experiences in these years?"

After Huai Ci finished speaking, he tightly grasped Mai Xiang's hand. At this moment, he would never back down again, he had to seek justice for himself.
