Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

Cao was extremely distressed and held Jiang Peilan's hand tightly:

"My dear Lan'er, you have suffered, but fortunately everything is over, all is over. As long as you live well, as long as you live, it's fine, as long as you live..."

Cao kept repeating this sentence, her tone full of relief for having escaped death.

Thinking of what Jiang Peilan just said, I still feel heartbroken.

As they talked about these things, the two hugged each other and cried bitterly again.

Cao continued, "Just now in the study, I saw the Prime Minister come out. What did he say?"

Speaking of Ji Yunzhi, Jiang Peilan burst into tears again.

"He...she wanted to divorce me, and my father...he agreed and forced me to sign the divorce papers. Now I have nothing to do with him anymore."

Jiang Peilan felt full of grievances.

"I have been with him for three years. Even if I have not done anything great, I have worked hard. He has no sympathy for me and insists on divorcing me. Why doesn't he think about what will happen to a woman like me? No one knows about that. He just needs to forgive me and pretend nothing happened."

When Cao heard these words, she sighed, hoping that her daughter could recognize the reality, and said:

"You were indeed wrong in this matter. To be honest, the Prime Minister has done his utmost to divorce her. He can actually divorce her. If he did, your reputation would be ruined. Now you can still save your reputation."

Jiang Peilan looked unhappy: "You are my mother, why are you still speaking in her favor?"

“You are my daughter, so I naturally support you in my heart. However, I tell you this because I hope you won’t make such a mistake again in the future. Otherwise, if you repeat the same mistake in the future, you won’t be so lucky next time.

"You don't know what the fate of a divorced woman is."

"But he, but he, he added insult to injury. I was in such a miserable situation, but he had no empathy at all.

"Coming to the Jiang Mansion to divorce at this time is deliberately embarrassing me and forcing me.

"If he didn't want to make things awkward, he should have been nicer to me before. If he had been nicer to me, I would never have done such a thing."

Jiang Peilan was angry. When she talked about Ji Yunzhi, she was full of indignation and unwillingness. The marriage she had worked so hard to get was gone just like that.

Seeing that she was very emotional, Cao did not try to persuade her anymore and could only agree with her.

In situations like this, she could teach her slowly later. For now, she just went along with her and made her feel better.

"The Prime Minister does have to take responsibility, as you said.

"But now that things have come to this, there is nothing else to say. Live the rest of your life well. Let the past be the past. Just treat it as a nightmare. Now that you have woken up from the dream, you can still live a good life.

"Mother also advised you at the beginning that the Prime Minister did not have you in his heart. Even if you forced it, you would not be happy. But you did not listen and kept hitting your head against the wall. Now you regret it."

Jiang Peilan was unhappy: "He delayed me. I treated him so well, but he didn't appreciate it at all. In the past three years, we didn't even have a meal together. He is so cold-hearted and cold-blooded. Now he is forcing me like this."

"Oh, forget it, there's no point in saying more. Next time, mother will pick someone who's right for you. Next time, you must be obedient."

Jiang Peilan's face was still full of anger, but after saying this, she lowered her head silently.

"I'm divorced, and those wealthy families are probably going to avoid me."

Cao choked.

Even at this time, Jiang Peilan still couldn't see the situation clearly and was still thinking about the wealthy and powerful.

She felt a sense of helplessness and despair towards her daughter.

But he had to hold back and advised:

"If you can't afford a high-class family, there are other options. Don't worry, your mother will definitely choose a suitable candidate for you. You are still young, find someone who loves you, have children, and live a good life."

Jiang Peilan lowered her head and said nothing.

Cao: "Write down the exact location of the place you went to and the people there. I will take care of the aftermath for you. It is best not to let anyone know what happened during this period. This way, you can live in peace in the future."

"They are all dead..."

"It's hard to guarantee that there will be fish that slip through the net. Only by handling it properly can we solve the problem once and for all. From now on, mother will ask you to leave the capital, far away, and mother will find a good family for you."

"Will my father agree to leave the capital?"

Cao's eyes dodged, "Of course I agree."

Hearing this, Jiang Peilan felt relieved.

That's good.

As long as Jiang Shuo agrees, he can protect her, and according to her status as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she can also marry a good man.

By then, she will be far away from the capital, and no one will know what happened to her. She can still be a high and mighty lady.

Jiang Peilan relaxed, looked around, and asked:

"Mother, why do you live here? Where is the original yard? Is it being renovated?

"No matter what, you shouldn't live here. This yard is too small. When I came in just now, I saw that it was still a bit shabby. It's incomparable to the previous yard.

"You are the mistress of the Jiang family. Living here will bring shame to the Jiang family. As the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, it will be inappropriate for me to stay here from now on. Mother should move back as soon as possible."

Cao's eyes changed, and for a moment she didn't know how to explain to Jiang Peilan what had happened.

She looked at the nanny beside her, and the nanny stood up and explained the matter briefly.

Jiang Peilan had an unbelievable attitude:

"How is it possible? How could it be possible? My mother is the mistress, how could she become a concubine? If my mother is a concubine, then wouldn't I become a concubine? No, absolutely not.

"What do you think, father? Mother has been managing the Jiang residence for these years and has done everything well. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard.

"Now, just because of a few words from outsiders, my mother is demoted to a concubine. How can my mother face people when she goes out in the future? How can I face people when I go out? My father is really old and confused."

Cao was horrified when she heard this.

He quickly covered Jiang Peilan's mouth.

Seeing this scene, she was extremely worried that Jiang Peilan had not made any progress at all.

How can she feel at ease in the future with her like this?

"It's not your father's fault. Jiang Qingyue has been very aggressive and even killed someone in someone else's house. If your father doesn't punish her, it will be difficult to explain to the outside world. If he is impeached by the censor, it will be a big trouble."

Jiang Peilan was furious after hearing this:

"Jiang Qingyue, it's Jiang Qingyue again.

"This Jiang Qingyue is really haunting us. She won't be satisfied until she harms us, right? How can she be so evil? A concubine should be dead, but she wants to take revenge on others and make her life uneasy. How can there be such a vicious person?

"Mother, why don't you report her to the authorities and let them investigate her? People like her should be thrown into death row and suffer all 108 punishments to relieve their hatred."

Cao also said bitterly: "Now she is so arrogant and has won the title of princess, we can't do anything to her. Nothing lasts forever, and nothing lasts forever. When she loses power in the future, I will definitely return to her ten times and a hundred times what we have suffered today."

"Yes, mother, you must not let her go."

"Forget it, Jiang Qingyue, we'll talk about it later. It's not worth mentioning. Now the main thing is you. I have to settle you down."

Jiang Peilan nodded: "I will follow my mother's arrangements."

"Good boy, that's right. This time, mother will definitely choose carefully for you."

Jiang Peilan yawned, "Mom, I'm a little sleepy and want to go back and have a rest. I haven't had a good sleep or eaten well these past few days. I'll talk to you when I wake up."

She originally wanted to eat, but when she just returned to the yard, she wolfed down a lot of snacks without even washing up.

Eat up all the snacks in the house.

I wasn’t hungry this time, so I just wanted to take a nap and have a good rest.

Cao thought of how she looked when she saw her just now, and nodded with a look of heartache:

"Okay, wait a moment, mother will have someone clean up the side room."

"Side room? What side room? Yours? Yours is so small, so shabby, and so old. It's not suitable for me to live here."

Cao looked embarrassed: "You should live here for now, so you can be closer to me. I will tell you in detail later."

Jiang Peilan asked unhappily:

"Why don't you let me go back? It doesn't take much time. Is anyone living in my yard now?"

Cao hesitated a little: "No one lives here."

Jiang Peilan yelled, "Then why don't you let me live there? Is it because my father thinks I'm embarrassing that he won't even let me live there?"

Cao said nothing, her face looking conflicted.

Jiang Peilan: “That’s true.

"Why...? I am his daughter after all, but he won't even give me a room. How will people view me as a young lady? How can I face people when I go out?"

After hearing what she said, Cao followed her words with difficulty:

"It's not bad to not be the eldest daughter of the Jiang family."

"What? Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. If you say you don't want to do it, then don't do it."

"It's not that I said I wouldn't do it, but you did something like this, so you have to be punished. Otherwise, if everyone in your clan follows suit, how can your father win the support of the people?"

"Isn't it not revealed? No one knows. As long as you don't say anything, who will know?"

Cao's face was full of bitterness: "Lan'er, mother will definitely fight for you if she can. Right now is the best result. As a young lady, you have your share of good deeds and bad deeds. Now that you don't have this identity, you are even freer. The world is big and you can fly freely."

Jiang Peilan cried in grievance: "Mother doesn't want me to be the eldest daughter. What does she want me to do? Are you going to kick me out of the Jiang Mansion?"

"Your grandmother has a distant niece. Mother originally wanted to let you go there, but now she is really worried, so she wants to keep you by her side for now."

"Haha, stay by your side? In what capacity? You are a concubine now, so what position can I take to stay by your side?"

"You will be my maid. Don't worry, it's just a title. You don't have to do any maid's work. Your life will be similar to that of a young lady, except you won't have these empty titles."

"Haha, mother, is this what you said? You actually asked me to be a maid. Hahaha, what an empty title."

Jiang Peilan laughed angrily and looked at Cao.

"I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and the former wife of the prime minister, but now mother wants me to be a maid. Haha, mother, have you ever thought about how the people around you will laugh at me? Have you ever thought about how those ladies I used to know will look at me if I meet them in the future?

“If I had known that I would have to be your maid when I returned, I would have died in that village.

"You just said you wanted to find me a good family and a good marriage, so do you mean to find me a servant, or a groom, or a farmer?

"You are such a good mother to me. What do you think of me, Jiang Peilan?"

Jiang Peilan burst into laughter and looked at Cao with resentment in her eyes.

"Lan'er, calm down first. This is just a temporary solution. If you don't want to, you can go to your distant aunt and just say you are her cousin..."

"That's enough. Stop talking." Jiang Peilan interrupted her and turned to walk out. Cao was anxious and stepped forward to hold her back: "Where are you going?"

"Where can I go? The Jiang family has already disowned me. I'll go and beg the Prime Minister. We are husband and wife, and he will definitely not sit idly by. Besides, even though the divorce letter has been written, it doesn't count as it hasn't been stamped with the official seal.

"I would rather be a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion than be a servant by your side. I would even rather go to a place where I am not familiar with and be a cousin to an aunt I don't even know.

"If they are not doing well, I won't be doing well if I go. If they are in a high position, they will definitely look down on me if I go without knowing the reason. It won't be good for me whether I go or not, so why should I go?"

"The Prime Minister won't take care of you. I'm the only one who can take care of you now."

"You're talking nonsense. How do you know he won't? You just want to control me, to make me listen to you, to make me stay by your side and be your maid."

"If I could go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I would at least be a master. But when I come to your side, I can only be a servant."

Cao looked at her and felt so angry that her heart ached.

"What if he disagrees?"

"No, as long as I kneel down and beg him, he will definitely agree. At worst, we will die together. No matter what, I will stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

At this moment, a maid came in and reported:

"Oh no, oh no, the Prime Minister went to the Jingzhao government office, removed the eldest lady's name from the household register, and then hung the divorce agreement at the gate of the Jingzhao government office.

"Now, I estimate that half of the people in the capital know about it. There are already many curious people waiting at the gate of our Jiang Mansion, trying to get information."

"Asshole, asshole, go and drive those people away."

"I'm afraid we can't drive them away. There are more and more people coming, and there are already rumors that the eldest daughter eloped with the groom and got pregnant with his child. The rumors are so convincing."

"Catch those people and report to the police. Report to the police immediately."

Cao shouted loudly, but the people below did not dare to move.

Jiang Peilan on the side was also stunned.

How could it be… How could it be, does he really want to divorce me? Is he so impatient to remove my household registration and stamp it with the official seal?

She has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for three years, but he has shown her no mercy at all.

She went back to Beijing with such difficulty, just thinking of him in Beijing. But...

He has such a cruel heart.
