Chapter 1115 The Eldest Daughter Who Was Rejected in the Engagement 1
"Sister, please stop crying," Aunt Tong said impatiently. "Didn't you see how furrowed Master's brows are? It's not that I'm criticizing you, but you really don't care about Master. You know he's busy to death outside every day, and all he wants to do when he gets back is have a hot meal."
"But sister, you've been crying non-stop since just now. Are you deliberately trying to make Master lose his appetite? Master always praises you for being sensible, so it turns out that all your previous sensibility was just an act!"
"I didn't," Madam Jiang quickly wiped away her tears, then looked at Mr. Jiang with a pitiful expression, "My lord, I really didn't. You know me, ever since I married you..."
"Alright," Mr. Jiang interrupted Mrs. Jiang impatiently, "If you were really sensible and cared about your husband, would you have been crying nonstop since the beginning?"
"And what right do you have to cry? As a mother, you can only cry and whine when your daughter is disobedient and unfilial. Tell me yourself, what right do you have to cry?"
"It was my fault," Madam Jiang quickly admitted, not daring to defend herself.
Mr. Jiang glared at Mrs. Jiang with dissatisfaction before sending someone to call Jiang Chunxi over. Then, looking at Mrs. Jiang with exasperation, he continued to scold her, "If it weren't for the fact that you've served me fairly well over the years, I really wouldn't want to get involved in this mess."
"Useless thing, letting your daughter bully you so much, you are truly unprecedented and will never be repeated."
"This humble servant..." Jiang's mother wanted to cry again, but looking at Jiang's father's irritable and impatient face, she forced back her tears.
“Master, please don’t be angry with my sister,” Aunt Tong quickly ladled out a bowl of soup and handed it to Mr. Jiang. “You know my sister’s temperament. She’s just too weak-willed, which is why she got so angry with the eldest young lady. Please forgive her for serving you so diligently all these years.”
Jiang's mother looked at Aunt Tong with gratitude, and Aunt Tong almost burst out laughing at her grateful gaze.
That's so stupid, it's outrageously stupid.
“The reason I’m angry is because I’m disappointed in her,” Mr. Jiang said with a dark face, glaring at Mrs. Jiang. “If I didn’t care about her, I wouldn’t bother getting angry, and I wouldn’t care if she was driven to death by her own daughter.”
Jiang's mother's eyes lit up, and she looked at Jiang's father with a mixture of excitement and surprise.
She finally got what she'd been waiting for. She knew that as long as she treated Aunt Tong well and didn't compete with her for favor, the master would definitely have feelings for her too.
Heaven rewards those who persevere. Her years of hard work have finally won her the master's heart. Now, even if she were to die right now, she would have no regrets.
Mr. Jiang was disgusted by his wife's affectionate gaze, but he was too lazy to say anything more. After all, if he continued to argue with a fool like his wife, given her current state, he would probably just be verbally abused and she would only feel good about it, perhaps even giving him an even more disgusting look.
After her father finished his dinner and drank a cup of tea, Jiang Chunxi slowly made her way to Aunt Tong's courtyard.
"You wretched child, kneel down!" Father Jiang threw the teacup he was holding at Jiang Chunxi.
Jiang Chunxi dodged the teacup her father threw at her: "Why are you so angry, Father? You're not young anymore. Getting angry is bad for your health. If you get so angry that you have a stroke and become paralyzed in bed, that would be a huge loss."
“So, I advise Father not to be so hot-tempered,” Jiang Chunxi said with a mocking smile. “Really, you’re so old, how can you still be so short-tempered? Aren’t you afraid that your grandmother will outlive her son, and that Aunt Tong and my mother will become widows?”
Jiang's father's eyes flashed with a chilling gaze, as if he wanted to pierce through Jiang Chunxi and kill his daughter on the spot.
Jiang Chunxi met her father's eyes with amusement, but she wasn't intimidated at all: "Why is Father looking at his daughter like that? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
“You! It’s one thing to be muddleheaded and incompetent, but how can you still have such a temper?” Jiang Chunxi sneered. “And you, a dog who favors his concubine over his wife, where do you get the nerve to act like a father to me?”
“You…you…” Jiang’s mother was both angry and incredulous. “How dare you speak to your father like that?”
“What wouldn’t I dare to do?” Jiang Chunxi rolled her eyes at her mother. “Am I not telling the truth? My grandmother taught me from a young age that one should be honest, so naturally I say what I think. I can’t go against my conscience and tell lies to deceive people. After all, I’m not like my father…”
Jiang Chunxi looked at her father defiantly: "Father, do you think what I said is right or wrong? Fooling a fool like my mother, does that give you any sense of superiority?"
"Tsk tsk! A real man resorts to such low-class methods, and these methods are even used on a woman as stupid as a pig. To be honest, I really despise my father from the bottom of my heart. After all, in order to fool a fool like Yan, my father has to go to Yan's room to sell himself from time to time."
“Jiang Chunxi,” Jiang’s father said, his face so dark it could drip water, “you really are something else. You don’t actually think that with your grandmother protecting you, your father can’t do anything to you, do you?”
"Young Miss, you should quickly apologize to the Master!" Aunt Tong said. "You really are something else. How can a daughter speak to her own father like that? Aren't you afraid that if word gets out, no one will dare to come and ask for your hand in marriage? After all, who would dare to ask for the hand of a woman who is disobedient and unfilial to her parents?"
"When Aunt Tong says this, you should first put away that gloating expression!" Jiang Chunxi sneered. "If parents are not kind, how can they expect their children to be filial? You are truly a lowly servant girl. What you say is really laughable."
"Guards! Drag this disobedient and unfilial brat out of here..."
"Let's see who dares," just then Madam Jiang rushed in and interrupted Mr. Jiang, "Let's see who dares to touch my granddaughter."
“Mother,” Father Jiang stood up, and Aunt Tong beside him also stood up, “that girl Chunxi is really outrageous. If I don’t teach her a lesson today, who knows what other shocking things that brat will say.”
"You haven't set a good example for your child, what right do you have to lecture her?" Old Madam Jiang said with a dark face. "Let me tell you, Jiang Yaoyang, as long as I, this old woman, am alive, you can forget about touching a single hair on my granddaughter's head. Otherwise, don't blame me for suing you for being unfilial, and see how you can continue to be an official."
