Jin Shanzong's funeral was very grand, as the eldest grandson of the Jin family, people came to mourn one after another, and his red and white ceremonies were only one day apart, and they also became a gossip in Chang'an City.

Jiang Tang didn't go to the funeral, he didn't get involved in the slightest, he only heard about it from Fucui's mouth.

It stands to reason that for Jin Shanzong's funeral, her new wife should kneel by the coffin in linen and filial piety until Jin Shanzong is buried. But for some reason, no one came to call her from beginning to end, and even the red silk and big red wedding characters in her courtyard were not removed.

Jiang Tang wondered about this, Fucui only let her rest at ease, as Mrs. Jin said, she just stayed in this orphanage honestly.

On the third day after Jin Shanzong's funeral, Jiang Tang had breakfast and set up an easel in the courtyard as usual to paint, she loved painting since she was a child, her father was usually busy with business and couldn't take care of her, although the aunts didn't care about her, but the conditions that should be given were not harsh, if she really painted some famous halls, it would also add glory to the Jiang family.

But obviously, now that she has married into the Jin family and become a widow, this layer alone cannot be added.

The painting utensils were bought by Jiang Tang and Fucui, and she has never stepped out of the courtyard door these days, living a life as if she was isolated from the world.

No one came to her, and she was clean.

Today, Jiang Tang paints proud and cold plums, and she likes everything about Mei, whether it is external or internal.

Suddenly, there was a bang-

The courtyard door was kicked open, the door panel hit the wall and bounced back, squeaked back and forth a few times and then stopped, Jin Mu Du Peiyun stood at the door with her personal mother-in-law, her figure was a little terrifying.

She had just lost her child, dressed in a black jacket and skirt, her hair was tied in a simple bun at the back of her head, her lips were pursed, her old face was piled with a little horizontal meat, and her eyes were quenched and viciously staring at Jiang Tang.

Seeing this, Jiang Tang calmly put down the paint in his hand, wiped his hands with a towel, and bowed to her in a proper manner, "Big lady." ”

Du Peiyun's face sank in an instant, and she was held by her mother-in-law, and she crossed the threshold and walked towards Jiang Tang hurriedly.

Smack-

slapped Jiang Tang on the left side of his face, Jiang Tang deviated his head a little, a wisp of bangs hung messily on the tip of his nose, and red marks immediately appeared on his white and tender cheeks.

"What do you call me?" Du Peiyun gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang moved his parched lips, swallowed his throat, and squeezed out two words with difficulty: "Mother-in-law." ”

With a bang, Du Peiyun's arm swept and dropped Jiang Tang's paint plate, and the colorful water instantly spilled on the ground, splashing Jiang Tang's plain white skirt.

"You still know that I'm your mother-in-law!"

She didn't understand her hatred, tore off the half-made plum blossoms on the drawing board, tore them into pieces in three or two, and crumpled them into a ball and slammed them on the ground.

"My son just died, and the first seven years have not passed, and you still have the leisure to paint here? Jiang Tang, who gave you the guts! ”

Her eyes were full of resentment, and she slashed at Jiang Tang fiercely, and the fierceness in her tone came to her face when she spoke.

Jiang Tang only felt noise, and a sense of humiliation rose from his chest, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

On the ground, the torn proud Hanmei was stained with dust and mud, revealing endless desolation, just like the rest of her life.

Du Peiyun strode into the hall, sat down in front of the door, and looked at Jiang Tang with hatred, "Jiang Tang, don't think you are the daughter of the Jiang family anymore, since you married into the Jin family as a daughter-in-law, you have to recognize your own identity!" ”

Jiang Tang lowered his head, his fingertips clenched the towel in his hand, and he did not refute or answer.

"Come here today, I'm going to set rules for you, and when the time comes, you have to come to my courtyard and wait for me to get up, do you understand?" Du Peiyun only thought that Jiang Tang didn't dare to speak, and became more and more intense.

When it is still dark in winter, this is not a pure toss of people, what can it be?

But compared to asking her to give her life to Jin Shanzong's funeral, it couldn't be more merciful.

Jiang Tang nodded, "I understand." ”

"Do you understand? Don't feel wronged, who of us didn't do it from his daughter-in-law? Du Peiyun spoke again, always slanting at Jiang Tang with a sharp gaze, his eyes filled with contempt.

Jiang Tang didn't look up, only nodded in response: "I understand, I don't feel wronged." ”

"It was better to do so."

Du Peiyun snorted disdainfully, and sat upright looking at Jiang Tang's room, his eyes darkened obviously not to find any stubble and not plan to stop.

There was still a big red double happiness on the window, her face changed suddenly, she stretched out her fingers, gritted her teeth and said, "Go and tear those things clean for me!" ”

Jiang Tang lifted his eyes and looked in the direction of her finger, and his heart instantly understood.

She walked over unhurriedly with her feet raised, and raised her arm to remove the red double happiness letter.

She had already seen these happy words unpleasantly, and every joy reminded her of what happened to her, and reminded her of her unbearable night in the cave room.

It happened that Fu Cui came back from outside, and saw that the courtyard was in a mess, painting paint was sprinkled all over the ground, and Du Peiyun, who had a gloomy face, was sitting in the main hall, and suddenly rushed into the house with frightened eyes.

Poof, she knelt at Du Peiyun's feet without saying a word, and grabbed the black skirt tightly with both hands, "Big lady, please spare the young grandmother, the young grandmother just entered the house, and if there is something wrong, it is also Fu Cui's reminder, if you want to be angry, come to Fu Cui!" ”

Jiang Tang was about to tear off the fingertips of Double Happiness and froze there, looking at Fucui in a daze.

Du Peiyun was suddenly kneeled by Fu Cui, looked at Jiang Tang, and snorted in a weird way, "Jiang Tang, you have such a good means, you have only been in our Jin Mansion for a few days, and you have made the old girl in the mansion so loyal." ”

Jiang Tang lowered his arm, lowered his eyes slightly, and sneered at Du Peiyun as if she was farting.

Fu Cui was still holding Du Peiyun's skirt, her anxious face flashed with a hint of inspiration, and she hurriedly said: "Big lady, I just saw the second lady go to the old lady's courtyard, do you know that the old lady recently wanted to hand over the key to the warehouse, don't you go to see it?" ”

When Du Peiyun heard this, his face froze, and a sharp dark light flashed from the bottom of his eyes.

There is a struggle for power and profit in the backyard, and it is not a place of turmoil, whoever takes the key to the treasury is the housekeeper, and in this courtyard is the emperor of the soil.

It is true that Du Peiyun wants to clean up Jiang Tang, and it is also true that he wants to be the housekeeper and mother of the Jin family.

"Jiang Tang, you just let me stay in this courtyard honestly, don't think about anything!" She was unwilling, glared at Jiang Tang fiercely, and then hurriedly got up and left with her mother-in-law.

Jiang Tang lowered his eyes and didn't say a word.

Waiting for Du Peiyun's figure to disappear at the door, Fu Cui hurriedly got up and ran to Jiang Tang, "Grandma, your face ...... Was it the eldest lady who hit it? ”

Jiang Tang raised his hand and touched his face, his fingertips touched his cheeks, and there was immediately a stinging pain.

……

In the middle of the night, the deep ink sky is dotted with white pearls, and the moonlight covers the earth like frost.

The bright moonlight seeped into the room from the window, Jiang Tang lay on the bed and fell asleep, and the pain on the left side of her face from time to time made her unable to be stable in her sleep.

Squeak –

The door was slowly pushed open, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway, he was surrounded by cold, and he raised his feet and walked into the room step by step, the air suddenly cooled down with his appearance, and his figure pulled out a long dark shadow on the ground in the moonlight.

Eventually, he stopped in front of the couch and stared at the man in the couch by the moonlight like a statue.
