My husband is cold and heartless, we are reborn and divorced
Chapter 204: 1 Fire Starts
The Second Madam said so, but she didn't want Jiang Wan to really step on her head like this.
"Let me make it clear first, if you really want to do it, you can do it yourself, but I won't guarantee you this." The second lady said to Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu had a cold smile on his face, but he had already cursed the Second Madam in his heart.
She told her that she wanted her to do it, but she pushed it onto herself instead. She didn't want to take the blame, so she could just wait to be trampled under Jiang Wan's feet. Lin Qiu just wanted the Second Madam to do the work so that he could sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor, but he was caught by the Second Madam unexpectedly.
In the end, the matter was left unresolved.
But the second wife couldn't sit still. When she thought about her daughter marrying that clumsy Wang, her heart ached.
When Jiang Hong came back from court, she hurriedly followed him, wanting to plead for her daughter again, "Master, do you really want us to marry Wang Quezi? She is your biological daughter, whom we raised with our own hands. Are you willing to let her go?"
Jiang Hong sat on the couch and sighed. In just a few days, he seemed to have aged a dozen years. "Do you think I want to? I feel sorry for Ying'er, but think about it. If we don't do what Jiang Wan said, and she tells the emperor, then our whole family will suffer. Do you think Ying'er will be able to live a good life then?"
The Second Lady scolded, "Then you're just going to watch your daughter marry a cripple who's older than you! You coward!"
The two words Jiang Hong hated to hear the most were these two words. When he was just a small official before, he was always associated with the word "cowardly". Later, he was promoted to the third rank.
But no one ever said he was a coward again.
"Then tell me! What do you want me to do? Do you want me to sacrifice the lives of my entire family?"
The second wife vented her anger and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "I can't ruin the rest of my daughter's life myself!"
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Hong stood up, looking anxious, "You can't do anything stupid? At this point..."
"Why don't we kill her... Only the dead can't speak..."
The Second Madam was speechless, and Jiang Hong slapped her, "Foolish woman! You think you can kill anyone you want, that's why she took the divorce letter back home. If something happens in our mansion at this time, do you think we can escape! We will only die more miserably."
The Second Madam covered her face with her hands, her eyes reddened, "As long as we act cleanly and pretend that Jiang Wan was divorced by her husband's family, who would blame us?"
Jiang Hong pointed at the Second Madam with a trembling index finger, "I'm telling you! You must not have such thoughts, you will harm our family!"
"If you continue to be such a coward, you will harm our family!"
"I have nothing to say to you. In short, Jiang Wan cannot move! Just stay in your courtyard, I will take care of everything, and don't show up in front of Jiang Wan." Jiang Hong couldn't explain clearly to her, and he shook his sleeves and went to some concubine's courtyard.
The second wife was helped up by the servants beside her, and the old nanny brushed off the dust on her clothes for her. "Madam, at this time, you are still arguing with the master. Isn't this giving others the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"
"Bitch! They are all bitches!" The Second Madam said angrily, "That Jiang Wan, she shouldn't have listened to the master in the first place, she should have been eliminated earlier, maybe the emperor has already forgotten that Marquis Wu Ling still has such a daughter in the mansion."
The old nanny rubbed her back to calm her down. "Madam, what are you saying in anger? Since His Majesty will grant her marriage to Jiang Wan later, it means that His Majesty has never forgotten the daughter of Marquis Wu Ling. You should be even more grateful that you didn't kill her in the first place. Otherwise, if it is discovered, I'm afraid we will all be implicated."
The Second Madam was still unwilling to give in. "So we're going to let that little bitch trample us under her feet like this? We can't even scream? She's even going to sell Ying'er to that cripple! What a vicious heart!"
The old maid squatted beside her and dared not speak, "Madam, calm down."
"How can I calm down? Am I really going to have to watch Ying'er marry a man like that?"
The old nanny thought, "If you want to deal with Jiang Wan, then we have to plan this secretly and not let the master know."
The Second Madam looked at her and said, "What good ideas do you have? After all, this is in the mansion. If something happens to Jiang Wan, we will be the first to be suspected."
The old nanny came up to the second lady and whispered something.
In Zhuohua Courtyard, Jiang Wan looked at his own yard. After living here for a few days, he barely found the feeling of where he originally lived.
Most places are different from when I was a child.
I guess Jiang Ying made a lot of changes after she moved in.
"Miss? Are we going to start today? The rumors in the capital have almost spread. Now everyone is saying that you are being targeted by the Second Madam and Jiang Ying after returning to the Marquis' Mansion."
Jiang Wan ran her hand along the brocade handkerchief, still not used to the fact that the shovel was not by her side.
"The Second Madam must be getting impatient too, right?"
Jiang Wan looked at Nanny Feng, "Has Xia Quyan also agreed?"
"Yes, after she went out that day, I arranged for someone to send her to a good place. The girl offered a generous reward, so she was naturally willing to help the girl."
Jiang Wan had a handwritten letter in his hand, which was wet in several places.
Anyone who reads it would think that this was a letter written by a disheartened person.
Seeing Jiang Wan accept the letter, Nanny Feng instructed, "Then give it to Xia Quyan and leave it in Xia Quyan's hands. Protect Xia Quyan's safety during this period, and also be careful about the people she interacts with. She only cares about benefits, not people."
Nanny Feng took it and said, "Okay, I understand, but Miss..."
Madam Feng glanced at the Zhuohua Courtyard and asked, "Do you really want to burn down your house?"
Although this courtyard records Jiang Wan's bad past, she was also doted on by the Marquis's wife when she was a child, and this house was specially built for her.
Now, Jiang Wan wanted to burn it all down, but Nanny Feng still felt quite regretful.
Jiang Wan was open-minded. "Let's look back. Although this house is a memory of my childhood, it has been so long and traces of Jiang Ying are left everywhere. Rather than staying here with disgust, I might as well burn it down and reshape a new Jiang Wan, so that the true face of this family can be revealed."
Jiang Wan stood up and said, "The only thing I can't bear to part with is the memories of Nanny, my father and mother, but memories are just memories after all. People need to look forward, and I won't stay where I am."
Qiu Nu had just returned from Jiang Ying's side when she heard Jiang Wan say, "Miss, Jiang Ying doesn't want to eat."
Jiang Wan sneered, "Does she think she is still the beloved young lady? If she doesn't eat, she will just starve."
