Chapter 283 Taken advantage of
Qi family.
It's the Qi family again.
This is the consequence of a failed assassination attempt.
Wild grass cannot be eradicated; it will grow back with the spring breeze.
It's unpleasant to have someone hold something against you, and you'll have to let them talk about it from time to time.
Qi Caiwei found it very offensive and didn't even have the confidence to refute it.
But this time it was Jiang Zijin who stood up to refute, and she said emphatically: "The assassination has nothing to do with the Qi family. Maybe it was General Lu's political enemies who disliked you and hired someone to kill you. After all, your Lu family embezzled military funds and made a fortune off the national crisis. There are many people who want you dead."
Qi Caiwei nodded repeatedly in agreement, "That's right, there are plenty of people who hate your Lu family. If you want to blame someone, blame your father who profited from the national crisis..."
"Crack...crack..."
Before they could react, they were slapped twice across the face.
After slapping someone, Xiuxiu stepped back and felt something strange on her hand. She raised the hand she had just used to hit someone and looked at it.
"Damn it, there's so much powder, it's all stuck to my hands."
"Pfft~~"
Little Miaomiao, who was drinking water from her small water bottle, suddenly spat out a mouthful of water.
My aunt was so funny, I couldn't help but laugh.
Looking at Qi Caiwei's face again, there was a large handprint on her face, which was covered with thick powder.
Very eye-catching.
The little girl burst into laughter, laughing so hard she almost choked.
Serves you right, who gave you permission to slander your grandfather?
If she had her aunt's fighting skills, she would also go up and slap her twice.
"You...you actually dared to hit me!" Qi Caiwei covered her face, her eyes wide with fury.
“Hitting you is too lenient. Uncle Lu was framed and is innocent. If you keep spreading rumors, I’ll cut your tongues out.” Xiuxiu had wanted to slap her earlier.
Unbearable, no need to endure.
Qi Caiwei looked at her raised hand again, shrank her neck, and took a few steps back.
He obediently shut his mouth.
Jiang Zijing, her eyes red and swollen, looked at Jiang Yunze with a pitiful expression, "Father..."
This woman is too arrogant; she actually dared to break into someone's home and assault them.
"Father, take a look." Jiang Yunze quickly stepped forward to examine his daughter's face.
Half of her face was red and swollen.
Qi Caiwei's face is... well, it's hard to describe.
Although the mother and daughter deliberately pick on people's sore spots, this is really too ruthless.
He looked at Lu Qingyao and said, "Look at the shady people you've been associating with. No wonder you've raised Miaomiao to be so unruly."
"What does this have to do with Xiuxiu and Miaomiao? The child was born, and you wouldn't even see her once. You were in a hurry to frame me and drive me out of the capital. Now she just doesn't want to acknowledge you. Why bother to give her such a stigma of being unruly and despicable?"
"Besides, as long as we haven't divorced, I'm still the matriarch of the Jiang family. Disciplining a concubine or illegitimate daughter is nothing; even a slap is too lenient."
She looked at Qi Caiwei with icy eyes and a warning in her tone, "Qi family, whether your father, Minister Qi, was behind the Lu family's current state is something we both know perfectly well. If you continue to slander my father, you and your mother will end up like this coffee table..."
"boom……"
Lu Qingyao slammed her hand on the coffee table next to her.
The coffee table cracked instantly with a hissing sound.
It split into several pieces.
When his mother got angry, Jiang Ziyan had already taken his younger sister to the side.
He hadn't seen his mother like this in a long time.
My maternal grandfather's family was already wronged enough, but now Emperor Xuan is stubbornly refusing to make it public.
The Lu family has suffered so much injustice.
Now, this Qi mother and daughter are still oblivious to their own mortality by mentioning their maternal grandfather. Their mother has been holding back and enduring it all, not killing them with a single blow.
However, this slap startled Jiang Yunze and Madam Jiang.
Lu Qingyao has been married into the Jiang family for over ten years. Although they occasionally bicker, they have never laid a hand on each other.
She was said to be the daughter of a military family, but she was also gentle, kind, frugal, and virtuous.
Almost no one knew she had this skill.
Jiang Yunze had always thought she only knew some fancy moves, but now he realized he had underestimated her.
He conceded a step, "Qingyao, a divorce is fine, and you can take Miaomiao with you, but you'll have to exchange those accounts and letters for her."
The child will always bear the surname Jiang, and no matter where he goes, he will always be a descendant of the Jiang family. This will never change.
What he's most anxious about now is the evidence he has.
Lu Qingyao would consider the child and the Jiangzhou branch of the family, but if the child fell into the hands of others...
But it’s hard to say.
It's always been a minefield.
He had to take it back and see what that fool Qi Caiwei had been doing in Jiangzhou, and whether it would implicate him.
If it implicates him, it implicates the Jiang family.
Keeping this person around is just asking for trouble.
"Okay, I'll give you everything." Lu Qingyao took the two boxes, one large and one small, from Xi'er's hands.
Even now, she considers herself to know Jiang Yunze quite well.
Such a person is selfish and narrow-minded.
He studied diligently for more than ten years with the help of his widowed mother.
He would absolutely not allow anyone to affect his career.
Seeing the accounts in the wooden box, Jiang Yunze and his daughter Qi Caiwei finally felt relieved.
Jiang Yunze immediately had someone bring out the divorce papers that had been prepared in advance.
Having been bombarded by court officials these past few days, he had long wanted to sever all ties with the Lu family.
He had been waiting for this day, waiting for Lu Qingyao to come to his door in person to beg for a divorce.
This divorce had to be proposed by Lu Qingyao.
Otherwise, those censors would criticize him for being ungrateful and heartless.
These old-fashioned folks can talk the living to death and even make the dead turn in their graves.
However, Lu Qingyao did not sign the divorce papers.
Instead, he took out the house deed from another small box and said, "Divorce is possible, but when will you move out of this house?"
"What kind of house are we moving to?" everyone asked in unison.
Qi Caiwei immediately sensed something was wrong and questioned Jiang Yunze, "Husband, what exactly is going on? Why is the deed to this house in her hands?"
At first, he thought the Jiang family was of low social standing and poor, but after seeing this house, he thought it might not be as bad as he thought.
Although the house was not large, it was in a good location and not far from the capital.
Doesn't this house belong to the Jiang family?
Madam Jiang looked at her son, "Aze, what happened? Tell me."
Even now, she can't read many words.
