Chapter 104 Losing to His Own Daughter
"You...you..."
The third wife looked at all this in disbelief: "It's all you..."
Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, he actually instigated her daughter to do such a thing. The third wife never thought that she had been on guard, but she lost to her daughter!
The third wife could no longer bear it, and vomited a large mouthful of blood, but no one in this family would pity her anymore. The Duke of the State wrote a divorce letter for his son with a big stroke of his pen, and asked the third wife to pack up and leave the Jiang family completely.
On the Queen Mother's birthday, everyone was happy to celebrate for the Queen Mother, but Jiang Ruoting was deliberately waiting for the emperor to get drunk and go to the side hall to rest, and shamelessly climbed onto the dragon bed to recommend herself. Historically, concubines were selected or directly canonized into the palace. Even if it was the canonization of palace maids, they were also named by the emperor to have this honor.
She was silent, and when she woke up, she found that someone had slept with the emperor in reverse, and she was the daughter of a guilty minister. How could the emperor not be angry?
The emperor was very suspicious of the young lady from a noble family who was so shameless. After understanding Jiang Ruoting's identity, he immediately reduced the charges against Mr. Jiang Sanye. When he saw Jiang Ruoting's grateful thanks, the emperor saw through everything. Only Jiang Ruoting was still complacent about herself, and even began to comfort herself that she was young and beautiful, and might be favored, and might even become a favorite concubine.
Jiang Ruohua asked for leave from the palace academy, determined to clean up the mess of the Duke's Mansion first. After Princess Shangyang knew about this, she specially asked the eunuch to send a message.
"Don't worry, Miss. His Highness said that you can handle your affairs without worrying about the little things in the palace. You don't have to worry about it."
Jiang Ruohua smiled and nodded: "I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness. Please go back and thank me for me."
"Miss, you're too polite. I'll go back first."
Jiang Ruoting has become a thorn in the emperor's heart after entering the palace in this way. He can't remove the thorn himself, but there are many people in the palace who can share the emperor's worries.
Cai Nu is the lowest-ranking concubine in the palace, but she is only slightly higher than a palace maid. When she enters the palace, she is only served by two palace maids and one eunuch. Even concubines who enter the palace through the selection, with a better family background or dignified appearance, can also be named a talented person. With Jiang Ruoting's family background, she can even be directly named a concubine or a concubine when she enters the palace. The emperor only gave her the position of Cai Nu, which is obvious.
As expected, since then, Princess Shangyang would send her news every now and then, telling her which concubine had troubled Jiang Ruoting today, and who would punish her to kneel tomorrow. Since the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the Emperor never thought of her again, and let her kneel and make trouble in front of the Emperor, but the Emperor ignored her.
On the day when Mr. Jiang San was exiled, Jiang Ruohua brought a bag of silver to see him, and gave him the bag of silver, saying: "Uncle San, we are uncle and nephew, and I can only do this for you, take care."
This heavy bag of silver was stuffed into Mr. Jiang San's hands in front of the officers and soldiers escorting the prisoners. It seemed to be Jiang Ruohua's kindness, but in fact it was a death warrant she gave to Mr. Jiang San.
Most of the officers and soldiers who escorted the exiles had offended someone, so they had to do this kind of hard work. There was no money, the monthly salary was low, and it was even more tiring. Moreover, the people they escorted were all criminals. The officers and soldiers didn't care whether these people were dead or alive on the road. Anyway, they either arrived alive or were buried on the spot. The superiors didn't care what happened, as long as they didn't let the people go.
These officers and soldiers have always been very violent, like wolves and tigers. Any valuable things on these criminals would be plundered by them. It was common for them to treat their female relatives as prostitutes and defile them. What's worse, they would also attack thin men and boys. Jiang Sanye didn't have any female relatives with him, but this bag of silver was heavy and not a small amount. The moment it was handed to Jiang Sanye, the eyes of those officers and soldiers were straight!
Before December, we got the news that Jiang Sanye's bag of silver was robbed, but the officers and soldiers still thought he had some hidden money. Those details that sounded horrifying were not known to be true or false. It was said that some officers and soldiers suspected that Jiang Sanye hid the silver in his body, and used some means to force him to take money. Gradually, he became a new object of entertainment. Jiang Sanye, who had always been arrogant, was treated like a prostitute. The great pain in his heart must have made him live a life worse than death!
He was crazy. Those officers and soldiers who didn't take enough silver directly dissected him and turned his body over to look for it, but they couldn't find the silver they wanted in some parts. They buried him boringly and continued their boring escort life.
Jiang Ruohua hoped that this was true. After all, if she died more easily than this, how could she relieve the hatred in her heart?
Her father had such a tragic end in the dream. She remembered Jiang Sanye's ugly face after becoming a Duke anyway!
Wasn't he arrogant? Then I must crush his ridiculous arrogance. Only by dying in this most humiliating way at the end of life can Jiang Ruohua feel that the pain of losing her father and grandfather has been mostly healed.
It's a pity that she didn't see it with her own eyes, otherwise she would have ridiculed Jiang Sanye fiercely in his ear, and used the words that Jiang Sanye least wanted to hear, to tear apart his hypocrisy and trample him underfoot!
Iron-cast swords hurt people, but swords made of words can hurt the heart. Jiang Sanye's death may not relieve hatred, but a humiliating death will be very satisfying!
But no matter what, this made Jiang Ruohua very happy, so happy that she even cleaned up the Duke's Mansion smoothly. She cleaned up the connections that the Third Lady had accumulated over the years, replaced them with the old people who had been brushed off before, and the Royal Merchant Wen family also sent a few capable servants to help. Within a month, the entire Duke's Mansion was completely renewed.
During this period, the Li family invited a matchmaker to come and exchanged birth dates, and the marriage between the second son of the Li family and Jiang Ruoqi was settled.
The third room suddenly lost two masters, and the women in the room didn't know where to go. Jiang Ruohua counted the number of people and found that Jiang Sanye had many women, but there were no men to serve them in the Duke's Mansion now, so there was no reason to support them for free.
Jiang Ruohua gave women who had not given birth two choices: one was to take the severance pay and their own indentures and leave, and have no relationship with the Duke's Mansion from then on; the other was to stay as a servant, work in the mansion, or go to work in the farm and shop outside.
Those who had a place to go chose the former, and those who had no choice chose the latter, and all were arranged by Jiang Ruohua.
As for the birth mothers of several young ladies in the mansion, they were still raised according to the specifications of concubines, and they also needed to teach their daughters.
The third wife's son was brought to the Duke's side to be educated personally, in order to urge him to correct the bad habits inherited from his parents as soon as possible.
