Chapter 40: The Past
Jiang Moxi listened carefully to Mama Li's speech, but what she didn't see was that when Mo Guli heard what she said, "He is not an outsider", his eyes were full of light.
Then, I also listened carefully to what Mama Li said.
When the people who used to investigate came here, they originally thought that this was an incident that basically happened in every family, but later.
Because the original Mrs. Jiang was the wife, and Jiang Mu was the eldest son of the General's Mansion, even if the old man Jiang didn't like Jiang Mu's mother, then he shouldn't be so bad about Jiang Mu.
Old Man Jiang really doesn't like Jiang Mu's mother, even if the two have a child, they are still Old Man Jiang's favorite boy, and they can't have the slightest love for her.
Even with Eme, the eldest son who should have been smooth sailing from childhood to adulthood, he also suffered a lot.
I heard that there was someone in the heart of Mr. Jiang back then, and that person was the concubine after Jiang Mu's mother died.
The two people who should be happy with each other and grow old together because of Old Man Jiang's family were forced to not marry her as a wife.
Because of family reasons, Old Man Jiang had to marry a woman arranged by the family and he didn't love to become his wife, and this woman was Jiang Mu's mother.
However, to marry her, Old Man Jiang's condition is to let the woman he likes marry him as a concubine on the same day, a concubine, and he will always have to accept it in the future, and the people in the family also readily agreed.
In this way, Jiang Mu's mother kept the empty room alone on the wedding night, and her husband went to the concubine's room.
In this way, not only on the wedding night, but later, except for occasionally seeing Old Man Jiang's face once or twice, Old Man Jiang never stepped into her door.
But who cares, Jiang Mu's mother originally had a better choice, but she didn't hesitate to marry Old Man Jiang.
At that time, she was also a teenage girl, and it was the time to yearn for love, she felt that as long as she liked Old Man Jiang enough, then he would be moved one day.
Emu's mother has this kind of thought, and she will not hesitate to put out the fire for the sake of love.
But reality slapped her hard.
After she married into the Jiang Mansion, not only did the subordinates in the mansion worship the high and the low, but they knew that she, the lady of the main house, was an unfavored and easy soft persimmon, so naturally they were not respectful to her.
In the third year after getting married, this woman no longer yearns for love, and she is depressed all day long, but she still hides the love that can no longer be said to Mr. Jiang.
Until one day she didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly she had a thought, at that time, it was when the concubine was pregnant, although the old man Jiang did not go to accompany him day and night, but he was also often.
She found a time when Old Man Jiang didn't go, and spent two silver taels to let Old Man Jiang come over.
At that time, she naturally had silver taels, and the young lady from a large family brought enough jewelry to marry was enough for ordinary people to live for a lifetime.
No one will get along with money, the next person accepted the money and led the old man Jiang to her yard, Jiang Mu's mother had already prepared, put on the best dress, put on exquisite makeup, and sat in the courtyard to drink alone.
Unsurprisingly, Old Man Jiang had drunk some wine before he came, and as soon as he came in at this time, he was immediately amazed by her.
Jiang Mu's biological mother is naturally good-looking, just by looking at Jiang Moxi, you can know that the genes of this family are good.
So Old Man Jiang naturally entered her yard, and she also took the opportunity to drink wine with Old Man Jiang again, and she was drugged for that wine.
So after the two finished drinking, Old Man Jiang followed her into the house.
The woman originally thought that this was their beginning, and it would get better and better in the future, but who would have thought that when the old man Jiang woke up the next day, he saw her lying next to him, and got out of bed in anger.
Before she could react, Old Man Jiang had already slammed the door and left.
She didn't understand why she had come to this point, and Old Man Jiang's attitude towards her was still the same.
How could the innocent Miss Jiao, who was protected in the deep boudoir, understand, even if she had excellent appearance, as soon as Old Man Jiang saw her, he would remember that this was the woman he was forced to marry, and he had no ability to resist at all.
As soon as he saw her, it was as if he saw his own powerlessness, and naturally he didn't want to pay attention to her.
The Jiang Mansion is so big, and this matter quickly spread throughout the mansion, and everyone knew that the wife of the Jiang Mansion seduced the old man Jiang into her room, and the next day she was disgusted and slammed the door and left.
Since then, the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion have been more casual towards her, and they are perfunctory on their faces.
And everyone knows, so how can the woman who has always been held in the palm of Mr. Jiang's palm not know.
The concubine originally thought that as long as Mother Jiang stayed quietly all the time, then she would naturally not go over to embarrass her, but Mother Jiang was restless.
When she thought about this, she never thought that she was a concubine, and Jiang's mother was the main mother of Jiang Mansion and the wife of Old Man Jiang.
The concubine knows what Old Man Jiang likes about herself, nothing more than that she likes her gentleness towards him and her attachment to him like a silk flower, as well as the deliberate pretending to be ignorant of the world, simple and kind.
She has always done a good job, but Jiang Mu actually wanted to rob her of people, so don't blame her for being polite.
The concubine first took the initiative to come to the door to ask Jiang's mother for peace, this was the first time that Jiang's mother married into Jiang's mansion in three years, Jiang's mother was alert to the fact that something was wrong, and treated her carefully.
The concubine naturally discovered this, but so what, no matter how cautious she was, she was prepared.
She let her maid wait outside for Old Man Jiang to go to court, and she provoked Mother Jiang.
"My sister may not know, my sister is pregnant with the eldest son of Jiang Mansion, don't be so surprised, if you die, I will not be the wife of Jiang Mansion."
The concubine said this, the smugness in her eyes and the delicate smile on the corner of her mouth made Jiang Mu feel scared and angry.
Mother Jiang didn't hold back her emotions and slapped the concubine room hard, but the concubine didn't dodge it, and was slapped raw, just when Mother Jiang didn't react, a slap with a fierce slap was slapped on her face.
The strength of men and women is naturally different, the slap that Old Man Jiang came in and slapped was ten percent heavy, and Jiang's mother's face was high and swollen, and there were blood stains on the corners of her mouth.
By the time she came back to her senses, the concubine in front of her had already pretended to be weak and fell into Old Man Jiang's arms and wept, and was comforted by Old Man Jiang and walked out of the door.
Before leaving, the concubine lay on Old Man Jiang's shoulder and glared at her fiercely, and the delicate and lovely person just now was not half gone.
And Jiang Mu sat on the ground in a daze, ignoring her provocation.
The gentleness of Old Man Jiang's treatment of the concubine just now was deeply rooted in her mind, which was what she had always wanted, and she had never obtained.
Soon after, Jiang's mother felt unwell and invited Lang Zhong to take a look, only to know that she was pregnant.
Mother Jiang almost cried with joy when she knew the news at that time, she had a common bloodline with the man she loved, Mother Jiang concealed this matter very well, her belly was not particularly big in the first few months, and she could easily cover up the past.
Later, everyone knew that she was pregnant, and she was already eight months old.
The child conceived by the concubine was only nine months old.
The biggest difference is that even if a boy is born in the concubine's room, it is still a concubine, and only the child born to the wife is a concubine.
Of course, the concubine will not be reconciled, and since then, she has tried every possible way to ask Jiang's mother to slip the fetus, but Jiang's mother is also cautious, until there is an inevitable time when the child is born prematurely.
No one in Jiang Mansion cared about their mother and son, even the old man Jiang, but fortunately, Jiang's mother spent her own money in advance to find the mother and Lang Zhong who delivered the baby, and gave birth to the child alone.
It is also their mother and son who have a big life, the child is less than a month old, wrinkled and thin, and the crying is not good, Jiang's mother once suspected that he would not survive, but fortunately he survived.
Because of premature birth, the child born by Jiang's mother became the eldest son after the child of the concubine's room, and the old man Jiang also went once during the period, and only threw down a sentence at random, "It's okay to call Jiang Mu." ”
After that, fortunately, she had a child, which brought a lot of comfort to Jiang's mother's life, but the concubine was holding her breath in her heart, how could she easily let go of their mother and son.
So in Jiang Mu's childhood, until he could remember, it was the old man Jiang who came over from time to time to beat and scold their mother and son, without the slightest appearance of a father.
Later, Jiang Mu grew up to be a teenager, so he was naturally unconvinced, and Jiang's mother only taught him that Old Man Jiang was his father and should not disobey his words.
Jiang Mu also complained that his mother's attitude towards Old Man Jiang was so cowardly, but after all, he was a mother who had relied on him for many years, so he had to be obedient.
Later, the concubine came over three times to find fault, and Old Man Jiang also connived at this.
Until one day, Jiang Mu went out, leaving Jiang Mu alone in the house, and when he came back, he was faced with his mother who was about to die.
Jiang Mu only heard the last words of his mother that he wanted to listen to Old Man Jiang's words, and he was sad and indignant, and immediately went to Old Man Jiang to sever the father-son relationship.
Old Man Jiang didn't stop him, he readily agreed, and warned him that it had nothing to do with Jiang Mansion whether he died or lived in the future.
This is the real reason why Jiang Mu broke off the relationship with Jiang Fu, not what was found last time and broke the family heirloom.
Jiang Moxi also misunderstood, she always thought that Jiang Mu was filial to her elders, and she would listen to Old Man Jiang when she came back, all of which she thought about a lot.
