Chapter 171: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 51
Yunxi returned home disappointed and began to think of other solutions.
Jiang Yueshu also began to investigate the incident of Jiang's mother's childbirth. Since it had been so long, the midwife and other servants who were hired at the time had disappeared, so there was no rapid progress for a while.
Yun Xi had planned to personally prepare some extra food for Jiang Yueshu, but he failed several times in a row.
On the surface, Jiang Yueshu not only has to take care of the affairs of the mansion every day, but also has to find time to manage the affairs of her mother's dowry shop, so she goes out almost every day during the day.
Yunxi felt helpless and jealous. She was envious when she thought of the huge amount of money in Jiang Yueshu's hands. Then she looked at Linglongxuan which had not had any income for several days, and felt even more depressed.
In addition, Yunxi encountered a bad thing.
Mrs. Du actually found Linglongxuan and asked for money for medical treatment.
Yun Xi then realized that ever since Yun Qingnan and Du Ping were injured, the Du family had been looking for famous doctors to treat them. With the treatment of various precious medicinal herbs, Du Ping was almost recovered, but his body was weaker than before.
As for Yun Qingnan, he was still the same, paralyzed in bed all day, unable to move. His temper got worse and worse as he was depressed for a long time. Being angry was harmful to his health, so his health was not very good.
As time went by, the Du family had less and less money, so they naturally set their sights on Yunxi and Jiang Xinghui.
When they arrived at Jiang's house, they were stopped by the servant at the gate.
Finally, it was Jiang Yueshu who met them. From her, they learned about Linglongxuan opened by Yun Xi and also knew that Yun was put in solitary confinement.
But they didn't care why Yunxi was put in solitary confinement. They only cared about the benefits, and the huge benefits brought by Linglongxuan, which was patronized by all the major mansions in the imperial city, attracted them more.
So, Mrs. Du took her two children to Linglongxuan, and happened to meet Jiang Xinghui who was being ridiculed by several ladies.
The three of them hid in the dark, watching the woman who had once harmed Du Ping being bullied by everyone. They were very happy and did not rush out, but hid nearby to watch the show.
After the ladies had vented their anger, the three men swaggered into the shop and explained their purpose.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Du Ping stared at Jiang Xinghui with vicious eyes, and the other two also looked at her with strange eyes.
Jiang Xinghui was already feeling guilty, and with the accusations from the other two, he lost his confidence and said weakly that he had no money.
Mrs. Du didn't believe what she said at all. Seeing that she was still unwilling to take the money, a few people looked around, looked at each other, and then had other ideas.
The three men pretended to send the servant away, then looted all the valuable jewelry in the shop, preparing to pawn them for money.
Jiang Xinghui tried to stop them immediately, but was defeated by Du's words one after another.
"Jiang Xinghui, you're the one who harmed Brother Ping. You even didn't let your cousin go?"
"And your mother. If it weren't for her, how could your uncle be paralyzed in bed and how could Brother Ping be injured?"
"If it weren't for you, how could the Du family lose all their money? It's you who harmed them. That's why the Du family has no money!"
"Your mother stole her elder sister's dowry, and in the end she couldn't make up for it, so she has to steal it from us, the injured?"
"How can you be so vicious? Ah? The Du family has no money, do you want to watch your uncle die?"
Jiang Xinghui listened to Mrs. Du's words in a daze, muttering to himself.
"No... No, it can't be like this..."
Even though she kept saying no, she knew it was exactly as her aunt said.
It was everything her mother did for her that led to all this tragedy.
Obviously she didn't have a bad heart, but she just hurt her cousin.
Her mother had indeed been worried about the dowry, and she thought her mother had made up for it from her side, but it turned out that her uncle's family also had a share.
Jiang Xinghui thought dejectedly and let the three people pack up the things in the shop without any intention of stopping them.
After the three of them finished packing, they spat at her, sneered, and walked away.
When the servant came back, he saw this mess.
Jiang Xinghui, however, asked him to tidy up the shop as if nothing had happened and left.
The servant saw that the boss himself didn't care about the shop. Although he was very curious, he suppressed his curiosity and cleaned up the shop quickly.
After that, the Du family never came again.
Jiang Xinghui conceded that he had repaid the favor he owed, and he didn't care about it anymore.
Until Mrs. Du had used up all the silver she had earned from the jewelry she had robbed last time, she prepared to go to Linglongxuan again by following the same method.
But what happened this time left them dumbfounded.
They saw with their own eyes that the prince of the Loyalty Marquis Mansion stood up for Jiang Xinghui and threatened and scolded the three ladies.
Looking at the girl with a very swollen face and blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, their thoughts had long since faded. Even though they were not too close, the three of them still held their breath involuntarily, fearing that they would be discovered by Lu Zhao.
It was not until Lu Zhao left that the three of them ran back in panic.
Because of this incident, the Du family was silent for a while.
Only after the rumors died down did they begin to quietly observe the situation in Linglongxuan.
But at this time, Jiang Xinghui was elusive and it was difficult to find her trace.
The reason they dared to rob openly before was, after all, because the boss Jiang Xinghui was present, and they took advantage of her guilt to do whatever they wanted.
But now that she is not here, the servants in the shop will not just sit there and watch them steal things.
