Chapter 282 Harmony
Disrespectful to brothers and unfilial.
That's a serious crime.
Jiang Yunze knows how to manipulate people.
Jiang Ziyan had no choice but to step forward, greet his father and grandmother, and then retreat to his mother and sister's side.
She did give birth to him after all.
Anyone can pretend to be a dutiful son and grandson in front of others.
I learned this from my father.
Little Jiang Miaomiao wouldn't have it.
No matter how you look at it, these people have nothing to do with her.
She's a master at playing dumb.
She huddled in her mother's arms, her eyes quickly filling with tears. "Mother, they're so mean. Let's go home. We can't stay here."
"Alright, Mother will take Miaomiao back now." Lu Qingyao said, getting up to get up.
"You can't leave!" Qi Caiwei was anxious. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; how could she just let her go like this?
Jiang Yunze was furious. He walked up to the little girl, put his hand on her shoulder and said sternly, "Jiang Miaomiao, look carefully. I am your father, and the woman above you is your own grandmother."
He absolutely refused to let Lu Qingyao take the child away today; look what she'd done with the child!
He doesn't even recognize his own father and grandmother.
Xiuxiu was afraid he would hurt the child and wanted to step forward to stop him, but her older sister shook her head at her.
He went back.
Then, Xiao Miaomiao bit the back of the person's hand hard, and said in a cute but fierce way, "You're not, I don't have a father."
What kind of person is he? Even if it were her own daughter, there would be no reason for her to acknowledge him.
A father who gives birth but does not raise his child is unworthy of being called a father.
Jiang Yunze frowned, covered his hands, and began to feel disgusted with Jiang Miaomiao.
What a waste of such a handsome face! So shrewish and stubborn, what will become of her in the future?
Jin'er is still the best raised child; she is gentle, quiet, and well-educated.
Qi Caiwei may not be good at much else, but she's quite skilled at raising daughters.
He made up his mind that Miaomiao should be placed by Qi Caiwei's side so that she could learn properly from her older sister Jin'er.
Thinking this, he sat back down and said kindly, "Qingyao, I still stand by what I said: a divorce is fine, but the child must stay."
In this great Liang dynasty, no woman has ever divorced while still having children.
But he also realized that Lu Qingyao wouldn't give up easily; this woman has always been stubborn.
Then he saw the square-faced woman glaring at him fiercely, even daring to warn him with her eyes.
What a joke! He's a grown man, why would he be afraid of a woman?
Even though she knew some martial arts, she didn't dare to beat up an official of the imperial court.
“Yes, you can’t take my grandson away,” said Grandma Jiang.
We can do without the little girl; she'd be a waste of money if we took her. But we can't let her take our grandson with her.
After she followed Lu Qingyao and changed her surname, that old man of hers will be turning in his grave.
Qi Caiwei also said in a cheeky tone, "Sister, you can go with peace of mind. I will take good care of Miaomiao for you and raise her to be a well-bred young lady like Jin'er."
Jiang Miaomiao turned her head, "...No, Third Sister is a bad person, she wanted to push me into the pond."
"No, that's not true, Fifth Sister is just talking nonsense," Jiang Zijin quickly explained to her father.
A lady of such high social standing as her must not have any blemishes on her person.
Xiuxiu clenched her fists, wanting to punch someone.
This family is despicable; they even tried to snatch the child. They're dreaming!
And this old woman, she has such a mean and sarcastic look.
Look at Tao Tao, she's lost so much weight and looks so haggard. She's nothing like the arrogant person she was when we first met.
Now she's acting like a submissive, humble wife, not daring to utter a sound.
Hearing their words, Lu Qingyao smiled, pulled her little girl into her arms, and looked at Jiang Yunze, "You forgot, Miaomiao hasn't had time to be added to the family register yet, so she's not considered a daughter of your Jiang family. As for Feng'er and Yan'er, they're both grown up now, and they can decide for themselves where they want to go."
Jiang Yunze was stunned. Because of the trouble the Lu family had gone through, he had forgotten to write to Uncle Fu and ask him to put the child in the family genealogy.
But didn't Lu Qingyao just come back from Taoxi Village?
"You...you did this on purpose? You planned this all along?"
Lu Qingyao nodded. "That's right. Miaomiao must come with me. As for Yan'er, he will be setting off to return to Jiangzhou to study in a few days. I'm sure you don't want to ruin his future, do you?"
Yan'er is with Grand Tutor Cui, and Jiang Yunze would only let him return to the Jiang family if he were crazy or stupid.
This……
Jiang Yunze glanced at his son and was truly speechless.
After all, the Jiang family's reputation still depends on Yan'er.
This child is the most promising member of the Jiang family in this generation. Now that he has become a disciple of Grand Tutor Cui, his future achievements will likely surpass those of his father.
He said gently, "Yan'er, then you should learn well from Grand Tutor Cui."
Qi Caiwei was green with envy, but there was nothing she could do; it was all because his Pei'er was so disappointing.
Jiang Zijin had no objection.
They are all descendants of the Jiang family, so there's no way to count on their younger brother.
If Jiang Ziyan becomes successful, the Jiang family will gain a good reputation, which will also benefit the marriage prospects of the sisters in the family.
A woman's glory often stems from the achievements of her father and brothers, and she was clear about this.
So she held her mother's hand tightly, begging her not to speak again.
Although Grandma Jiang didn't know how capable Grand Tutor Cui was, she didn't say anything more after her son agreed.
But where was her eldest grandson? She asked Lu Qingyao, "Where's Feng'er? Why can't I see Feng'er?"
Of her three grandsons, Feng'er was her favorite.
He is honest and kind, and listens to her the most.
The second son, Jiang Ziyan, was clever and mischievous, and never respected his grandmother.
The fourth brother, Jiang Zipei, is a blockhead, a real blockhead.
Jiang Ziyan stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, Father, my eldest brother has joined the army. You probably won't see him for at least three to five years."
The brothers from the Jiang family in Jiangzhou can acknowledge each other, after all, they still have the ties with their uncle and grandfather's family.
But let's forget about the Jiang family in the capital.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunze slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Lu Qingyao, how could you be so heartless? Feng'er is so young, and you're willing to send him to his death? Don't you know how dangerous the battlefield is?"
"What a great opportunity! Why give up a promising career in government and choose to abandon literature for military service?"
This slam of the table startled Xiao Zishu.
She looked at her fierce father and burst into tears, crying louder and louder.
"Take her out. What are you doing bringing the child here?" Jiang Yunze glanced coldly at Xiao Qingmei.
A wave of sadness washed over Tao Tao, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She grabbed her daughter and ran out the door.
Jiang Yunze actually yelled at her.
She willingly became a concubine, enduring her mother-in-law's torment and Qi Caiwei's difficult behavior.
It's all because of the man in front of me.
I'm somewhat disappointed now.
Lu Qingyao didn't expect Jiang Yunze to take his anger out on her childhood sweetheart, so it seems he didn't like her that much after all.
Otherwise, why would she have been put in this situation?
After the baby left, the hall became quiet; you could hear a pin drop.
Old Madam Jiang glared fiercely at Lu Qingyao, "You poisonous woman, give me back my grandson! I shouldn't have let you take him away in the first place."
Lu Qingyao sneered at these hypocritical faces, "You weren't so fond of him back then. It's just that he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar that you can't bear to part with him?"
“What’s wrong with joining the army? My brother was already on the battlefield when he was Feng’er’s age. He was also protecting the country and was also my good son, Lu Qingyao. If he doesn’t join the army and become stronger, does he expect the Qi family to come and kill him?”
