Chapter 112: Run to be a concubine

As soon as Jiang Zhengming raised his eyes, he saw Mrs. Wu. When he looked towards the hall, he saw Mrs. Yang's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

Mrs. Wei's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, as if someone had borrowed ten thousand taels of gold from her house and hadn't paid it back.

There was a man standing behind Mrs. Wei. The man lowered his head. Jiang Zhengming did not recognize who it was for a moment.

"Why are you here, Mr. Jiang?" Mrs. Du said as if it had nothing to do with her and said hello politely.

The maids and maids in the hall had strange expressions. Some looked down at their shoes, some twisted handkerchiefs in their hands, and some twisted the corners of their clothes. The atmosphere was strange.

The patriarch who came with him was about sixty years old. He glanced sharply at everyone, and then looked back at Jiang Zhengming with questioning eyes.

Looking at a room full of women and children, they didn't look like they were fighting. Besides, Jiang Jiaojiao, a girl, couldn't possibly start fights with others.

The clan leader and other clan members met Jiang Zhengming who came downstairs, and learned that Jiang Zhengming had not invited them over.

The clan leader heard that Jiang Jiaojiao had been beaten, so he followed him upstairs.

I asked the waiter downstairs just now. The waiter and the shopkeeper were hesitant when talking, saying that no one was fighting here.

Mrs. Wei knew she was in the wrong and saw the Jiang family looking like they were coming to hold them accountable.

She calmly bumped Wei Mingzhou behind her with her elbow, and then looked in the direction of going downstairs.

Aji hid on Wei Mingzhou's side and saw the eldest lady touching the young master from the corner of his eye. He immediately understood what the eldest lady meant.

Aji looked towards Yang and saw her walking towards Jiang Zhengming with aggrieved face.

Aji took the opportunity to pull Wei Mingzhou, "Master, let's find an opportunity to escape."

Wei Mingzhou thought his aunt was asking him to stand up and admit his mistake.

After being reminded by Aji, he suddenly realized that his aunt was the queen's mother and the wife of the current prime minister. How could he be asked to go out and admit his mistake? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the prime minister's house?

While everyone's attention was on Jiang Zhengming's face, Wei Mingzhou and Aji bypassed the crowd and slipped out from behind the servant woman.

By the time Yang heard the sound of people coming downstairs, it was already too late to call someone to stay.

"Sir, you are here. The Prime Minister's Mansion uses its power to bully others. Young Master Wei bullies men and dominates women. Our dear son's innocence was ruined by him...by him."

Mrs. Yang burst into tears as she spoke, crying so hard that her heart was broken. If someone didn't know the truth, they would really think that Mr. Wei San had done something evil.

Before Jiang Zhengming could speak, Mrs. Wei said sternly: "Ms. Yang, don't talk nonsense. Although Sanlang is a bastard, he is also a good son of our Wei family. If your daughter hadn't hooked up with him, could he have done what he did?"

The lady in the big house knows the truth very well, one will be prosperous and one will suffer. Even if she is not a bastard, she must actively protect her in front of outsiders.

"If your third young master doesn't ask out Jiao'er, she won't be able to come here."

Although Yang had also instigated her daughter to attract Wei Mingzhou's attention, at this time she wanted to insist that it was Wei Mingzhou's fault.

Mrs. Wu on the side blushed when she saw the argument between the two parties. She raised her feet and prepared to leave.

"Master Jiang, we must speak truthfully. My Sanlang did not force your girl. If you don't believe me, ask Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Du who are present."

"Mrs. Wu, don't leave. Why don't you stay and say something fair?"

Mrs. Wu was stopped by Mrs. Wei and quickly retracted her outstretched leg.

She turned back to look at the maid behind her, "I fell asleep just now. Do you know what happened?"

The two maids looked at each other, Madam asked, are they telling the truth or what they say.

Seeing the confused expressions on the two maids' faces, Mrs. Wu said seriously: "The Prime Minister's wife and Mr. Jiang are both sensible people. You just tell the truth whether you saw anything or heard anything?"

The little faces of the two maids turned red.

One of the slaves lowered his eyes slightly and said: "This slave heard the conversation between Young Master Wei San and Miss Jiang Er, talking about breaking off the engagement and proposing marriage, etc. The two of them didn't quarrel or make any fuss, and what happened next was..."

The maid was not married yet, her face turned red and she didn't finish the sentence.

What to say next, it's so shameful.

"The next two will be fine." Another maid added cheerfully.

After saying this, the maid felt very relieved.

If I encounter such an unlucky thing today when I go out, I will definitely use incense to get drunk.

After hearing this, Jiang Zhengming's face turned livid. The Jiang clan leader stepped forward and said, "What happened has already happened. There is no point in blaming anyone anymore. From my perspective, let's just let the two of us go."

The patriarch originally disliked the Yang family. If this matter got serious, it would be difficult for the girls in the Jiang family to discuss marriage. To take the overall situation into consideration, it was the best outcome for the two of them to get married.

Mrs. Wu saw that she really didn't have anything to do here, so she left in a hurry without even saying hello.

Mrs. Du found a comfortable armchair and sat down. She couldn't leave yet. She had to wait until she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get her daughter's wedding invitation before the marriage was completely called off.

"How to make it happen?" Mrs. Wei asked arrogantly without even looking at the Jiang clan leader.

"Your Sanlang hasn't gotten married yet, so naturally he married my Jiaoer in a sedan chair." Yang proposed her idea while the iron was hot.

"It's impossible. Since ancient times, parents have ordered matchmakers to hire her as a wife and take her as a concubine. If your daughter loses her virginity before marriage, it's impossible to give her the position of a head wife."

"Mrs. Wei, my Jiao'er is the legitimate daughter, and the third young master is a concubine. If Jiao'er is his first wife, it can be regarded as a lowly marriage, right?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei glanced at Jiang Zhengming and snorted coldly: "Mr. Jiang, if I remember correctly, your step-brother was raised by your aunt, right?"

"A daughter born from an aunt is noble when she becomes a legitimate daughter? If it weren't for Mr. Jiang's sake, this concubine wouldn't even have the status."

Jiang Zhengming was very afraid and did not dare to argue. The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely and he was speechless.

He was annoyed and angry. His favorite daughter had lost her virginity, and no matter how hard he tried to defend himself, it would be in vain.

The head of the Jiang family and his fellow clan members were all unhappy. The head of the Jiang family once advised Jiang Zhengming to marry another man, but Jiang Zhengming was obsessed with the Yang family.

In addition, he was aroused by what happened five years ago, so he straightened Yang without much time to think.

Everyone present understood that everything Mrs. Wei said was reasonable, and Jiang Zhengming naturally understood it too.

He cupped his hands towards Mrs. Wei, "Then the matter is settled. Mrs. Wei will send someone to Shangshu Mansion to pick him up as soon as possible."

Mrs. Wei flicked her sleeves, snorted coldly and led the servant girl away, along with Mrs. Du.

When Jiang Jiaojiao in the private room heard this, she collapsed to the ground.

She never dreamed that the marriage she had worked so hard to calculate would end up as a concubine.

Listen to the footsteps outside and walk away.

Caiyan helped Jiang Jiaojiao up with strength.

While arranging Jiang Jiaojiao's hair, Caiyan comforted her: "Don't be afraid, young lady, what's wrong with the concubine? As long as the third young master's heart is with you, you will not have the final say in the family when he lives in a separate house in the future."
