Chapter 476: 1 Shoulder 2 Rooms Completed
The most amazing thing is that Mo Haixiu also died the next day.
Now there are all kinds of rumors in the capital.
Some said that Yao Wanpei, the black widow, had a very evil fate, and killed three members of the Cheng family in a short period of time. Others said that Yao Wanpei had turned into a fierce ghost and wanted to kill the Cheng family, and maybe it wouldn't be long before all the people in the Cheng family would die.
The eldest master was naturally devastated and fell ill after his wife's death. Now the only one who could be in charge of the Cheng family was Jiang Chunxi, as for Cheng Wenxuan's two half-brothers.
With a legitimate son around, it is not the turn of a concubine's son to interfere in family affairs. Although Cheng Wenxuan is ill, he is not dead, so the power of the entire mansion will fall into Jiang Chunxi's hands. After all, they have a son. Even for the sake of his son, Cheng Wenxuan has to be on guard against his two concubines.
For half a month, Jiang Chunxi was busy all the time, and finally she managed to take care of the funeral of the old lady, Cheng's mother and Mo Haixiu, so that the three of them could rest in peace.
In order to give herself a break, Jiang Chunxi did not send away the eldest master, the second master and Cheng Wenxuan immediately.
Of course, he did not do nothing during this period, but he took every opportunity to brainwash Cheng Wenxuan, so in just two months, Cheng Wenxuan's two half brothers were separated from the family by the second master.
After solving the last problem, Jiang Chunxi began to prepare to deal with the last three members of the Cheng family.
Therefore, in the following period of time, there were constant rumors of ghosts in the Minister of War's Mansion, and the conditions of the eldest master, the second master, and Cheng Wenxuan became worse day by day.
Of course Jiang Chunxi had to put on an act, for example, she invited many Taoist priests and monks to come to the house to perform rituals, but it was of no use at all, and Jiang Chunxi became extremely haggard.
Anyone who saw it would know that she was exhausted because of the haunting in her house, and no one would doubt her.
Of course, with the inherent thinking of ancient people, no one would doubt Jiang Chunxi. After all, women in ancient times depended on men to live. In addition, Jiang Chunxi's son was still young. Who would have thought that she would kill all the people in her husband's family.
Half a year passed, and the Minister of War held another funeral. This time, three people were sent off at once. The eldest master, the second master and Cheng Wenxuan were all sent off by Jiang Chunxi at once.
After the funeral, Jiang Chunxi ordered the removal of the plaque of the Minister of War's Mansion in the mansion and replaced it with a plaque with the words "Cheng Mansion". Then she took her son to live in a farm outside the city.
Naturally, no one doubted Jiang Chunxi's behavior. After all, so many people had died in this haunted house. If Jiang Chunxi and her son did not move out, would they be waiting to die?
Jiang Chunxi's son passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar at the age of eighteen. Because he was as handsome as Pan An, he was favored by the emperor's most beloved Princess Ten, and was thus granted marriage to become the Tenth Prince Consort.
In this way, Jiang Chunxi finally returned to the capital from the farm outside the city and lived in Cheng Mansion again.
As for the son, he naturally lived in the princess's mansion. The son and the tenth princess wanted to bring Jiang Chunxi to live in the princess's mansion, but Jiang Chunxi refused.
Her son married a princess, which, to put it bluntly, was no different from marrying into the wife's family. She didn't want to live in the princess's mansion and make herself uncomfortable. It would be better for her to live alone in Cheng Mansion. In fact, if she didn't want people to spread rumors that her son was unfilial, she would have wanted to continue living in the farm outside the city.
That's how the world sees things! Even if Jiang Chunxi feels comfortable living in a manor outside the city, others will not see it that way. They will only think that he is an unfilial son, living in the princess's mansion in the capital and enjoying a life of luxury, but leaving his biological mother to suffer in a manor outside the city.
So for the sake of her son and the princess's reputation, Jiang Chunxi had no choice but to move back to Cheng Mansion from the farm outside the city.
Of course, the reason why Jiang Chunxi and her son have been able to live such a stable life in the past few years is naturally all due to the protection of the Jiang family. Otherwise, an orphan and a widow with such a huge family fortune would be like a child carrying gold bricks across the street. Who wouldn't be worried?
Let's take Cheng Wenxuan's two half brothers for example! Can they not be jealous and have bad ideas?
But it was precisely because of the Jiang family's protection that no one dared to target the mother and son.
In short, just as Jiang Chunxi had expected, the Jiang family was not a rotten family to the core and would not think of using their daughter to wipe out the entire family. Even when Jiang Chunxi's son reached school age, the Jiang family took him to the Jiang Mansion to study.
Anyway! Although Jiang's father and mother cannot be said to be competent parents, overall they are still good to their daughter Jiang Chunxi.
.....................
"Chunxi, I plan to marry a second wife." Jiang Chunxi had just put down the knife and fork in her hand when the man sitting opposite her said this.
Jiang Chunxi didn't say anything immediately, but picked up the goblet on the table and took a sip of red wine.
This time she was finally not traveling to the ancient world, but a modern world that was not much different from the 21st century.
If there is any difference, it is that in this world, as long as a man has money, he can marry up to five legal wives, and the laws of this world are extremely unfair to women. If a woman files for divorce from a man, not only will she not get any property, but she will also have to give all her dowry to the man.
In general, women in this world have a very low social status.
The original owner and her husband met in college. He pursued the original owner for half a year before he finally got her. When he proposed to her, he promised her that he would only have her as his wife for the rest of his life.
It is worth mentioning here that the original owner had a very good family background, and of course her husband's family background was not bad either. After all, their family backgrounds were too different, and the two could not get married. In this world, girls' marriages are controlled by their parents, and it is impossible to get married without their parents' permission.
This is the case for ordinary people, let alone the wealthy and powerful families, who require their children's marriages to be well-matched.
Of course, this requirement only applies to women. It is different for men. The first wife a man marries must obey the arrangements of his parents, or get his parents' consent.
But if you want to marry again, your parents will not interfere, and you can choose to marry a second wife, a third wife, etc...
Such a result is naturally very unfair to the wife of the first wife, because many of them are family marriages, and the man naturally will not have any feelings for his wife. Many men give birth to children with the wife of the first wife, and generally do not spend the night with the wife of the first wife. This also leads to the fact that the children born by the wife of the first wife are not loved by their father.
Once a father's heart is biased, the child will suffer a lot of unfair treatment when he grows up, and it will even lead to many tragedies.
