Chapter 980: Wedding 3
Jiang's mother died two days later. When Huo's mother received the news, she was quite shocked. After all, a healthy person was gone just like that. How could she not be shocked?
The news that the four members of the Jiang family were seriously ill had not spread, so when they learned that Jiang's mother had passed away, not only was Huo's mother shocked, but everyone else was also quite shocked, especially Jiang's father and two sons who were also seriously ill in bed.
This further confirmed the rumor that Jiang Jiaoxi was her nemesis. Otherwise, how could one explain why the whole family fell ill, while Jiang Jiaoxi was the only one who was fine?
"This is retribution!" Mother Huo said with relief after being shocked. "This shows that we should not be too immoral. Otherwise, God is watching us. Isn't God watching us?"
"Madam, I think that bitch Jiang Jiaoxi might really be a disaster. In the past, because the eldest young lady was in the Jiang family, she was able to block the evil spirit of Jiang Jiaoxi that was killing her father, mother, and brothers. But with the eldest young lady marrying into our general's mansion, no one can block Jiang Jiaoxi's evil spirit anymore. So the Jiang family fell one by one."
"Just wait and see! In a few days, someone in the Jiang family will surely die again. You know, there are still three seriously ill people in the Jiang family."
"Hmm! What you said does make some sense," Mrs. Huo nodded. "It seems that Jiang Chunxi's fate as a concubine is quite peculiar. But then again, if it wasn't for her peculiar fate, how could she have successfully made Tingfeng a successful man?"
"Give orders to the servants in the mansion to show some respect to the Madam. They must not treat her with disrespect."
The miserable situation of the Jiang family made Huo's mother shudder. She was afraid that if she treated Jiang Chunxi badly, something bad would happen to their Huo family.
Of course, Huo's mother did not give up the idea of asking Jiang Chunxi to protect her son from disaster. What's more, Jiang Chunxi is her son's wife. This woman regards her husband as her heaven. So, isn't it natural for a wife to protect her husband from disaster?
At the same time, in the courtyard where Jiang Chunxi and Huo Tingfeng lived.
"What?" Jiang Chunxi said in disbelief after hearing the servant's report. "How...how is this possible? My stepmother has always been in good health. How could she just die like that?"
"Madam, Madam Jiang is indeed dead. The Jiang family has already announced the funeral. Even if I had the courage of heaven, I would not dare to lie to Madam about such a thing!"
"Okay, you can leave now!" This was Ye Qiu's voice.
After the maid who reported the matter left, Ye Qiu ordered people to make preparations quickly. After all, someone in the Jiang family had died, and the person was the mistress of the house. As a concubine's daughter, Jiang Chunxi naturally had to go back to her parents' home to mourn.
"Madam, logically speaking, as the son-in-law of the Jiang family, the eldest young master should accompany you to the Jiang family to pay his respects, but the eldest young master's current situation..." As he spoke, Ye Qiu frowned and looked at Huo Tingfeng who was lying on the bed.
"Given my husband's current condition, he naturally can't accompany me back to the Jiang family," Jiang Chunxi said with a look of disbelief. "This is really strange. How could my stepmother die so suddenly?"
"You don't look sad at all." Huo Tingfeng said to Jiang Chunxi, and he was also quite shocked when he learned the news of Jiang's mother's death.
Of course, he couldn't help but think of Jiang Jiaoxi. Although he hated Jiang Jiaoxi, she was the woman he had loved for so many years. How could he just stop loving her?
Otherwise there wouldn’t be the saying: Without love, where does hate come from?
Jiang Chunxi sneered, "Why should I be sad? My aunt and I suffered so much torture in the Jiang family that we lived worse than dogs. What's more, my aunt was tortured to death by that vicious woman, Wang Fengshu. So Wang Fengshu's death only makes me feel happy. How could I be sad because of that vicious woman's death?"
"It's just a pity! It's a pity that I didn't avenge my aunt with my own hands. Before I could do anything, that vicious woman Wang Fengshu died."
Huo Tingfeng's face was filled with displeasure: "Is this what you, as a child, should say? Even if Madam Jiang is wrong, she is your mother after all. How can you, as a concubine's daughter, say such treasonous and unfilial words?"
"My dear husband, don't you find it ridiculous when you say that?" Jiang Chunxi said with a bitter smile, "You don't feel pain unless the knife is stabbed into your own body. But it's also true. After all, my dear husband loves his younger sister so much, so naturally he can't bear to see a concubine say such words."
"You are simply unreasonable," Huo Tingfeng said with a dark face, "Forget it, I am too lazy to bother with you, but as the son-in-law of the Jiang family, even if my legs are inconvenient, I still have to go to the funeral, otherwise I don't know what outsiders will say about me."
"This..." Jiang Chunxi frowned fiercely, "Husband, mother will definitely not agree, you should..."
"Jiang," Huo Tingfeng interrupted Jiang Chunxi harshly, "Who are you to interfere with my words? Remember, although you are my wife in name, you are not qualified to be my real wife. So from now on, don't give me the courage to refute anything I say, otherwise, if you really make me angry, the consequences will not be something you can afford."
"Yes." Jiang Chunxi naturally didn't dare to say anything else, but Huo Tingfeng wanted to accompany her back to the Jiang family, so she naturally had to report this to Huo's mother.
Of course, Mrs. Huo did not agree with her son going to the Jiang family, but she couldn't help but let her son go!
So what could Mrs. Huo do? She could only helplessly watch her son and Jiang Chunxi get into the carriage.
Oh! By the way, because of Huo Tingfeng's leg problem, a wheelchair was built for him a long time ago.
Therefore, when he and Jiang Chunxi arrived at the Jiang family, Huo Tingfeng was pushed into the Jiang family in a wheelchair by the servants.
There were naturally many people who came to the Jiang family to mourn. When they saw Huo Tingfeng appear, those mourners couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Mother, why did you leave so suddenly!" As soon as she entered the mourning hall, Jiang Chunxi threw herself in front of the coffin and burst into tears.
Seeing Jiang Chunxi like this, Jiang Jiaoxi was about to get angry, but was stopped by her aunt.
To be honest, if it weren't for her good relationship with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang really wouldn't want to care about this idiot Jiang Jiaoxi.
Don't you see what's going on now? There are so many outsiders watching. If this idiot Jiang Jiaoxi makes a scene at her mother's funeral, what will outsiders say about her?
Jiang Jiaoxi was stopped by her aunt, and of course she was very unwilling, but she was not stupid after all. She knew that quarreling with Jiang Chunxi now would only be disadvantageous to her.
Then Jiang Jiaoxi looked at Huo Tingfeng with tears in her eyes. Her mother's death dealt a great blow to Jiang Jiaoxi. She now urgently needed spiritual comfort to calm her uneasy heart.
And Huo Tingfeng, the man who once loved and spoiled her, suddenly became Jiang Jiaoxi's life-saving straw.
