LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 24:
The reason why I didn't speak directly was because I had just scolded him severely in the main hall that day, so I couldn't slap myself in the face again.
As a granddaughter, naturally you can't criticize your grandfather. Wei Hanshuang only points out, and Wei Hanzhang is not stupid.
She thought to herself that her mother had kept her at home for so long without telling her.
After chatting with Wei Hanshuang, who was about to be married, for a long time, he returned to Jingya Hall. He saw Jiang's most powerful nun standing outside the room with red eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
What happened again?
Seeing Wei Hanzhang come back, Grandma Zhou smiled slightly and lifted the curtain for her.
In the room, Mr. Jiang was sitting alone, with residual tears on his face. He had obviously cried.
Wei Hanzhang stepped forward and held her hand: "Mom, why are you crying again?"
Jiang looked at her blankly and murmured: "I just received a letter from Xuzhou. Your uncle was involved in the Jiangnan corruption case. Now your grandfather's family has been escorted to Beijing for trial.
As if she had regained consciousness, she suddenly cried out in pain: "Ran Ran, the Jiang family is going to be gone."
Wei Hanzhang seemed to have received a sap.
The Jiang family is gone?
Being in Xuzhou, even if I was raised in a boudoir, I had heard about the dangers of the Jiangnan Mo corruption case. Not to mention, the Cao family was overturned because of this case. No official who was involved in the case was safe.
She stood motionless for a while, and her first reaction was disbelief: "My uncle is just a fifth-grade official with no real power, how could he be related to such a big case."
Even if you borrow some courage from heaven and really want to be greedy for ink, you still have to have that ability, right?
It's not that Wei Hanzhang looks down on his uncle, it's actually that the Jiang family uncle is a man with great ambition and talent, but also timid and timid. Wei Hanzhang, the niece, doesn't know, but he is really lustful.
Of her three uncles, only the eldest uncle has the most concubines in the backyard. Fortunately, she married a good wife. Mrs. Jiang used strong methods to keep those concubines in submission, otherwise the backyard would have caught fire.
Such an uncle said that he would be involved in the Jiangnan corruption case. In terms of strength and courage, he was not qualified.
“Your uncle’s official position doesn’t mean he’s capable of that, but with your grandfather’s reputation, it’s hard to say.”
Speaking of her brother, Jiang's face showed disgust: "Such a naive person wants to be promoted to an official just because he is the eldest son in the family. Now he has brought trouble to the whole family, so what should we do?"
"Mother, don't worry," Wei Hanzhang suppressed his anxiety and comforted him: "Gu Yunran will arrive in the capital in a few days. His father is the governor of Xuzhou. He should know the inside story. Ask him then."
Jiang's expression did not look relaxed: "Your maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother are both nearly seventy years old. The journey was bumpy. I wonder if they were shackled when they were taken to the capital. If so..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang could no longer speak. He was worried about his parents at home and looked panicked.
When Wei Heng came in, he saw their mother and daughter looking like this. He was stunned. Before he could say anything, Jiang took a few steps over and said hurriedly: "Husband..."
As soon as he saw Wei Heng, Wei Hanzhang's confusion about Jiang's divorce in the original work finally dawned on him.
Logically speaking, Jiang has been married into the Wei family for more than 20 years and has given birth to a son and two daughters. Even if there are no children later, as long as the mother's family is still there, she should not be reduced to an abandoned concubine.
So, the Jiang family actually fell in the original work?
So much so that even though Jiang had been married for twenty years, no one could stand up for her when she was divorced.
In her ears, Mrs. Jiang was telling Wei Heng about the sudden changes in her family's family, and she asked her husband to help find a solution.
Wei Hanzhang stood aside and listened quietly, but he really couldn't listen anymore.
She knew the outcome and knew that Wei Heng would be at Yue's house. After the accidents of her legitimate sons one after another, she abandoned her legitimate wife regardless of the love they had had for many years.
After Jiang was divorced and homeless, he went to the Houfu family temple to stay with Wei Hanyue. Mother and daughter spent the rest of their lives in the Buddhist temple. This is the ending of the female supporting role in the original work.
Wei Hanzhang wants to change this outcome, but now he has no way to intervene.
A sister Wei Hanyue has been in trouble and she can't change it. The Jiang family has been overthrown, and she can't find a way to save her now.
The remaining younger brother Wei Yunpei will have an accident in this year's cold winter. It is an accident or artificial. It is not known. Only this matter is too late.
That night, Wei Hanzhang couldn't sleep, thinking about the Jiang family.
When she left Xuzhou, her eldest cousin's wedding was only less than ten days old. She didn't know whether the incident happened to the Jiang family after she got married or before the marriage.
It would be fine if they were married. It would not be a serious crime to genocide, and the married women would not be implicated. I am afraid that something would happen to the Jiang family before the marriage.
As the eldest daughter of her uncle, Jiang Zhixue is very likely to become the second Cao Xinrou.
Will she also join the Jiaofangsi and become an official prostitute?
…
On the second day, Wei Hanzhang, who had a severe headache, got up and went to Jiang's place to say hello.
Before the mother and daughter could say a few words, a maid from Liu's room came over and said they had a visitor.
Jiang was startled, but after asking carefully, she found out that it was the mistress of the Gu family who came to the door with her eldest son. At this time, she was already in the main courtyard to meet Madam Hou, Mrs. Liu.
"Gu Yunran is here?" Wei Hanzhang was slightly surprised, and then said: "When did he come to the capital, he didn't tell me."
"Don't accuse me unjustly. According to the schedule, the Gu family may only be in the capital for a day or two," Mrs. Jiang held her daughter's hand and said softly, "Let's go, I'll go see this son-in-law too."
Jiang's guess was right. The Gu family just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and today they came to the Wei Mansion to hand over a greeting card, which shows that they attach great importance to the marriage in the Hou Mansion.
Main courtyard.
Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Hou, and her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were greeting the Gu family together.
They have long known about the marriage between Wei Hanzhang and the Gu family. They also know that the Gu family master is returning to the capital on the orders of the prince. Not surprisingly, the Gu family will be the next upstart in the court.
The whole family could not be more satisfied with this marriage. Seeing that the Gu family also valued it so much, the smiles on their faces became even thicker, and the guests and hosts were completely happy for a while.
Before Wei Hanzhang entered the room, he heard Gu Yunran's reply and couldn't help but pause in his steps.
Jiang glanced at her sideways, pursed her lips and smiled, then opened the curtain and walked in.
As soon as she came, there was another greeting inside.
Jiang looked at the tall young man in front of her who was saluting her, and felt relieved. Sure enough, her petite daughter had good taste.
This son of the Gu family is handsome, with extremely handsome features and polite words and deeds. It is said that he has already been promoted to a high school at a young age. If he can go to high school in the future, he will not need to rely on family promotion to become an official. This is also true in the capital. A top-ranked son-in-law.
The mother-in-law naturally became more and more satisfied with her son-in-law as she looked at him, and she couldn't help but praise him a few more times.
Here, Wei Hanzhang also turned to Mrs. Gu slightly and said hello.
Mrs. Gu waved to her with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a while, but our facial features seem to have grown longer, and our stature seems to be a bit taller."
