Chapter 124: A letter of resignation
Where does Jiang Louyue have the time to pay attention to Jiang Shiqing's sarcasm at this moment, she is full of the safety of her mother, and she can't pretend to be anything else.
She followed Jiang Shiqing through the winding corridor and came to the ancestral hall of the Jiang family.
The ancestral hall of the Jiang family is very solemn and solemn, made of heavy black stones, the ancestral hall enshrines the tablets of the ancestors of the Jiang family, and there are heavy guards outside the ancestral hall, and flies can not fly into one.
"Young Master Qing."
"Young Master Qing."
When the guards of the ancestral hall saw Jiang Shiqing, they bowed their heads with unusually respectful expressions.
Jiang Shiqing let out a faint "um", and his expression was unruly.
He originally planned to take Jiang Louyue in, but the guard of the ancestral hall stretched out his arm and forcibly stopped Jiang Louyue's body.
"You can't go in!"
Jiang Shiqing glanced at the guard lightly and said, "She is the daughter of the sinner woman in the house, and she is also a member of the Jiang family." ”
The guard frowned and said, "Young Master Qing, this is not in line with etiquette. ”
The children of the same lineage, let alone enter the ancestral ancestral hall, even the gate of Prince Jiang's mansion is generally not able to enter.
The concubine is in the same line, and only the concubine and the concubine's wife are qualified to enter the family.
Of course, now this "wife" who is trained in the ancestral hall, if nothing else, will not be a "wife" soon.
Jiang Shiqing raised his eyebrows.
He really wanted to take Jiang Louyue in to see her mother's miserable situation, how could he do it if he wasn't allowed in.
"She is the daughter of a sinner, and most of the reason why a sinner makes a mistake is because of this girl's instigation and inducement, so this girl is the culprit, and this young master took her in for interrogation!"
Jiang Shiqing lied in order to achieve his goal.
At the end, another sentence was added: "This is what grandpa meant." ”
As soon as the guards of the ancestral ancestral hall heard that it was Prince Jiang's meaning, they no longer dared to stop it, and gave way to Jiang Louyue.
Jiang Louyue was so anxious that she immediately rushed in.
The Jiang family has a long history, and has existed since the founding of the Daqian Dynasty, so the ancestral ancestral hall is also extraordinarily large, and the ancestors enshrined are especially ranked.
Jiang Louyue ran to the door of the main ancestral hall, and saw hundreds of descendants of the Jiang family, all standing in the main ancestral hall, and in the center of the ancestral hall, kneeling were her mother Yin Xi and her father Wu Wenhou.
Sitting in the highest position in charge of interrogation was the elder Prince Jiang, whom she should have called "grandpa".
Sitting next to Prince Jiang were the two elders of the clan.
The Jiang clan is a big family, Prince Jiang is the patriarch, the main branch, and naturally there is a collateral line represented by the elders.
Because there were too many people in the main ancestral hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two kneeling people in the center, almost no one noticed Jiang Louyue's arrival.
"Jiang Li, are you guilty?"
Wu Wenhou's name is Jiang Li, which few people know.
"Child...... The child is convicted. ”
Wu Wenhou is a standard coward, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and extremely snobbish.
He was very afraid of his father, because he was the least favored son, and he was punished no less from childhood to adulthood.
Prince Jiang raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep and dark: "Do you know what crime?" ”
"Child...... The child should not be at the mercy of Concubine Xiao, forget the legacy of his ancestors, and set up Yinxi, a sinner woman, as his wife. Marquis Wu Wen trembled, and his voice trembled uncontrollably, "But the child is also forced to be helpless, the child's title is not high, and the person is soft-spoken, so he will be suppressed by Xiao Guifei." ”
Hearing these words, Yinxi, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but tremble slightly, turned his head sideways, his beautiful eyes were full of tears, his thin lips lost blood, and he couldn't stop trembling.
was forced into such a situation by the Jiang clan, and she was not afraid.
But now, being pushed away by her husband's presence is like a thousand arrows piercing her heart.
"Master Hou......" Yinxi's voice was a little choked and a little hoarse.
She had a lot to say, but it was all stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it or swallow it.
"Your biggest mistake was to marry this Qinglou woman back home thirteen years ago."
Prince Jiang's face was gloomy, he had been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and he had a bad aura on his body, not angry and arrogant, which made people dare not force him to look at him at all.
"Yes! It's the child's fault! ”
Wu Wenhou Cheng couldn't stop kowtowing in fear, and said, "It's because the child was young and ignorant in the past, his mind was not strong, and he was confused by the beauty of the Qinglou woman, and he made a wrong step, a wrong step, and when he woke up, it was already too late." The child is not filial, and he has entered the age of no confusion, and he has to let his father work. ”
The words were said very earnestly, and even burst into tears.
The two Jiang clan elders on the high seat couldn't help but feel compassion for Wu Wenhou.
"Patriarch, Jiang Li's attitude of admitting his mistakes is quite good, and if he betrays him, he will be punished lightly."
"Patriarch, the old man also thinks that Jiang Li's feelings are pitiful, and everything is the fault of that Qinglou demon woman. How about giving that Qinglou demon woman a holiday, scolding a hundred rods, and driving out the Jiang clan? ”
Prince Jiang didn't say a word, and stared at his concubine for a moment with a pair of burning eyes.
Seeing that Prince Jiang did not speak, Marquis Wu Wen couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart, knelt down and moved forward a few steps, his whole body was almost prostrate on the ground, and pleaded bitterly: "Father, please give the child a chance to mend his ways, let the child take a break from this sinner, and then drive him out of the house, and the child will voluntarily fast for three years, and pray for your father." ”
As he spoke, Wu Wenhou kowtowed three more times in the direction of Prince Jiang.
Then he suddenly got up, immediately took a pen and paper, splashed ink, sprinkled a letter of resignation, and wrote it out in an instant.
Oto-hee didn't move, she didn't cry, her eyes were hollow, and she just watched her former beloved man humiliate her on the spot.
Jiang Louyue stood at the end of the crowd, hiding in the shadows, also motionless.
Her face was extremely cold, and there was a bitter coldness in her beautiful eyes.
She didn't step forward to stop her.
Why did she stop it?
Such a man is not worthy of being her father at all! Not even more worthy of being her mother's husband!
It's good to be so strange.
She is confident that she can give her mother a better life.
"Take it, sinner!"
Wu Wenhou wrote the letter of resignation and threw it unceremoniously in Yinxi's face, "From now on, you are no longer my Jiang family, go back to your hometown, don't defile our Jiang clan again." ”
Otoki remained motionless, his eyes so empty that there were no tears, and he looked like a lifeless stone statue.
She loved him with all her life, and in the end she only got a letter of resignation and a sentence of "defilement".
She thought that she had been stained with Lou Yue's light, and she had no worries about food and clothing, but she didn't want a slave to be a slave after all, and the master could send you to hell with a casual word
