Chapter 462 1 Shoulder 2 Room 7
"You...you..." Cheng's mother was very angry, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart that what Jiang Chunxi said seemed to make some sense.
"Mother, please don't be angry anymore," Jiang Chunxi continued, "You are already ill. If you get even more angry, won't your illness get worse?"
"Madam Second Young Master, it's time for you to take your medicine." Just then, the trusted nanny who served Cheng's mother brought in a bowl of medicine.
"Give it to me! Let me help my mother drink the medicine." Jiang Chunxi stood up and took the medicine from the nanny's hand, then sat down on the bed, scooped out a spoonful of medicine, blew it to her mouth, and then fed it to Cheng's mother.
Cheng's mother did not refuse and drank the medicine with a dark face.
After seeing her mother drink it, Jiang Chunxi scooped out another bowl of peony soup and said, "It's already this hour, I guess my husband will soon bring his new bride to pay respects to mother. Mother is already ill, and I don't know if her illness will suddenly get worse after seeing the new bride."
"Alas!" Jiang Chun sighed in mock manner, "My daughter-in-law is really worried about my mother!"
"That's enough," Cheng's mother couldn't bear it any longer, "You have to curse me to be happy, right? How can you be so vicious? Cursing your own husband is not enough, now you even want to curse your mother-in-law."
"Jiang Chunxi, you don't really think that we dare not divorce you after we get married!"
"How could that be possible?" Jiang Chunxi smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law really believes that Cheng Jia can divorce me. After all, if he divorces me, no one can compete with your niece. But mother cares so much about her niece that she doesn't mind risking her life."
"Tsk tsk! What a touching love between aunt and niece. Why am I not so lucky to have an aunt as good as my mother?"
"Madam Second Young Master, is there any daughter-in-law like you? Do you want to piss Madam off to death?" Madam Li, Cheng's mother's trusted nanny, looked at Jiang Chunxi angrily.
Jiang Chunxi looked at Li Ma Ma with disdain: "Li Ma Ma, do you, a servant, have the right to speak to the master? Don't take advantage of your age and seniority and think you are something."
"You unruly old thing, if this happened in our Jiang Mansion, you would definitely be dragged out and beaten to death. It's only because mother has a good temper that she keeps an old thing like you by her side to serve her."
"It's not your turn to teach a lesson to the people around me," Cheng's mother really wanted to slap Jiang Chunxi, but she had no strength left. "You will kneel in the ancestral hall for two hours right now, you disobedient and unfilial thing. If I don't punish you severely, do you really think no one can discipline you?"
"So starting today, you will go to the ancestral hall and kneel for two hours every day. I want to see what disobedient and unfilial words can come out of your mouth again."
"Alas!" Jiang Chunxi sighed in a pretentious manner, "I knew it would be like this. My niece is finally married into the family. As an aunt, can you not help your niece suppress me, your daughter-in-law? Torturing me is just the first step of your mother's plan! Then I'm afraid she will want to kill both of us."
"Mother," Jiang Chunxi smiled and looked at Cheng's mother, "You are really cruel. For the sake of your niece, you can even kill your own grandson. To be honest, you are so cruel and ruthless that it is impossible not to admire you."
"But my daughter-in-law is not the kind of person who will be bullied by others," Jiang Chunxi showed Cheng's mother a provocative look, "You don't think I'm so stupid that I would let you scheme against me and torture me even though I know you want to kill me!"
"Believe it or not, if you dare to make me kneel in the ancestral hall today, within an hour, the whole capital will spread the news that you are torturing your niece for your niece. You have been married into the Cheng family for more than 20 years, but you still turn your arm out. In your heart and eyes, only your natal family is the most important. Otherwise, you would not help your niece to torment your own daughter-in-law. Aren't you just trying to get rid of me, the roadblock, so that everything in the Cheng family will fall into the hands of you two, aunt and nephew, in the future?"
"Oh! That's right," Jiang Chunxi smiled sarcastically, "I guess my mother must have embezzled a lot of money while helping my aunt manage the household over the years! I just wonder if the money she embezzled was sent back to her parents' home."
"You...you..." Cheng's mother was so angry that she was shaking all over, and the finger that was pointing at Jiang Chunxi was trembling, "You are so nice that you dare to slander me."
"Whether my daughter-in-law has slandered me or not, I know it best," Jiang Chunxi handed Yao Wan to Le Lei, "but don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your embezzlement of money. Although we are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, we still have to follow the principle of "I am good if you are good, and everyone is good if you are good."
"We can't just expose the conflict openly, otherwise it will be a joke to outsiders, right?" Jiang Chunxi smiled mockingly, "So, mother, do we still need to let our daughter-in-law kneel in the ancestral hall?"
Cheng's mother felt very aggrieved!
His face turned red with anger.
Jiang Chunxi had threatened her like this, so how could she dare to let Jiang Chunxi kneel in the ancestral hall? After all, if word got out that she was torturing her son's daughter-in-law for her niece, then her reputation would be ruined.
The most important thing is that Jiang Chunxi was not wrong. Her housekeeper had indeed embezzled a lot of money over the years.
"Madam, the Second Master and the eldest young master's wife are here to pay their respects to you." Just then a little maid came in to report, and as soon as her voice fell, Cheng Wenxuan and Yao Wanpei walked in from outside.
When Cheng Wenxuan walked in and saw Jiang Chunxi, he was surprised for a moment, and then his expression became visibly gloomy. After all, he was still angry with Jiang Chunxi.
"Aunt, what happened to you? How did you get sick so suddenly?" Yao Wanpei came to the bedside with tears in her eyes and said to Cheng's mother with worried eyes.
"Oh! You're still calling me aunt?" Jiang Chunxi stood up from the bed and said, "Cousin, don't forget who you are now. By calling me aunt, aren't you indirectly telling others that you only recognize mother as your aunt, and never recognize her as your cousin's aunt now?"
"Chunxi, what are you doing?" Cheng Wenxuan said very dissatisfiedly, "Wanpei is your cousin's wife now. You are so disrespectful to her. It's really disrespectful. Do you still care about your husband's family?"
"Oh! You're protecting me right away," Jiang Chunxi sneered at Cheng Wenxuan, "Men's words are really deceiving. Fortunately, I no longer believe what you say. Otherwise, if I had foolishly believed what you said, I would probably die without knowing how."
"You keep saying that you only treat Yao Wanpei as a responsibility, and that you will always love me in your heart, but what happened? In the blink of an eye, you protect Yao Wanpei."
"Tell me the truth, have you two been having an affair for a long time?"
