Chapter 731 Public Affairs, Private Vengeance
When he learned that Liao Qingmo was looking for his sister again, Mr. Jiang, who was taking a cool and eating melons under the grape trellis in the yard, was about to speak out, but Yan, who was eating melons, advised, "Second brother, there are some things that our sister has to tell you in person, so that Liao Qingmo can give up. Why don't I go and ask my sister what she means to see if she wants to see?"
My brothers and sisters spoke, and Mr. Jiang would not refute her face. "Okay, please go to my brothers and sisters to ask."
Liao Qingmo entered the backyard of the county government office and bowed to Jiang Feng, who was carrying Jiang Wulang and Jiang Liulang to cool down under the grape trellis, and then walked into the wing where Jiang Pinglan lived with confidence.
Seeing his wife wearing a pomegranate soft silk shirt and a white jade hairpin on her head sitting leisurely at the table for tea, Liao Qingmo jumped up in anger. He sat at the table with anger and said, "Madam is in good health?"
Jiang Pinglan nodded, "It's much better."
"Mrs. But Yuan Dong was lying on the bed and couldn't move, so he covered himself with prickly heat, which was extremely itchy." After Liao Qingmo said that, he glanced at the ice basin in the room.
Jiang Pinglan replied, "It's just a few prickly heat. Just rub the bitter melon leaves into juice and apply it on."
Liao Qingmo frowned, "Yuan Dong is our son, how could his wife say such cold and ruthless words?"
Jiang Pinglan raised her apricot eyes and looked at her husband who condemned her, "I didn't say this, it was because I was pregnant with Ling and I was so impatient with heat and had a prickly heat on my back. Yuan Dong's grandmother said it."
Liao Qingmo's brows jumped, avoiding this topic, and continued, "Mrs. I'm much better, so let's go home with me. If I live here for a long time, it will be criticized. Even if my wife doesn't care about these things, she should think about our children. Yuan Dong and Chunling have grown up, so it's time to say we are kissing."
Seeing his wife looking at him quietly, Liao Qingmo suppressed his impatientness and said earnestly, "My second brother and others will be back to Kang'an after staying here for a few days. We still have to live together in the future. As the saying goes, everyone's words can destroy the bones. Many things are nothing in the eyes of Kang'an people, but we are not Kang'an here, so we should still care about it."
"In the past seventeen years, the wife has suffered a lot for her husband and children. She has seen and kept her in her heart. She is just busy with the yamen affairs for her husband. She is inevitably neglected and asked her to take more responsibility. During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, we took our two children to raft outside the city while the weather is cool. Then wait for two months, our third child will be born. The husband has given the child more than a dozen good names. When the wife returns home, she chooses one of her favorites. Is it okay?"
Because he tried too hard, Jiang Pinglan's finger joints holding the teacup were raised and turned white. "The adults have a bad memory. This one in my belly is not our third child, but the fifth one."
Liao Qingmo heard his wife's dissatisfaction. He raised his lips and smiled, "Madam, how can the concubine son be compared with the legitimate son? They are more than Yuan Dong to go for their husbands. Yuan Dong has more brothers and sisters to help him, so that the road will be stable in the future. We are busy, aren't it all for the children?"
Jiang Pinglan raised her eyes and asked, "Sir, please don't bother with your two concubines, it's also for the children?"
When is it now? She is still competing for Chi Cui! Liao Qingmo said impatiently, "Let's talk about these things when we go back. Although Yuan Dong is injured, he will ask his mother if he is back every day and he is in good health."
When Jiang Pinglan mentioned her son, her heart stinged. She lowered her eyes and said, "Sir, send Yuan Dong here. It's cooler here, and his injuries can heal faster."
What is this! Liao Qingmo said righteously, "There is not much silver in the county government account. I would rather let my son be warm than to use the public for personal gain. I would use the silver in the county government account to buy ice for him, otherwise the people of Taikang will poke the backbone of the husband."
After saying this, Liao Qingmo also turned his gaze on his wife's stomach, looking disagreeable.
Jiang Pinglan smiled, "Sir, I bought these ice with my own money."
Liao Qingmo felt distressed when he heard this, "Silently cultivate oneself and frugality to cultivate virtue. The lady must know that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality..."
Jiang Pinglan couldn't listen anymore, "Sir, please come back, so as not to ruin your virtues by using ice and heat here."
Liao Qingmo was angry, "Madam, what is your tone? What is your husband's mistake? This is Taikang, not Kang'an..."
"There are many people who use ice and heat in Taikang! Don't talk about others, your favorite concubine Liu also uses ice when she is pregnant. Why can't I use it?" Jiang Pinglan said this, and her voice couldn't help but start to tremble, "You go, I don't want to see you again."
Liao Qingmo frowned, "You and I are husband and wife, we are one, you are still pregnant with my child in your belly. Whatever the wife says is angry, let the children listen to it and decide what's going on."
"I want to separate the childbirth from you!" After shouting this sentence, Jiang Pinglan calmed down, "Yes, I want to separate the childbirth from you, and take the children back to Kang'an! Whatever Taikang people think, what you think has nothing to do with me!"
Liao Qingmo was furious, "How can women and women separate themselves? Who gave you this idea? Is it Jiang Feng? Don't you know what his temperament is? Why do you follow him to mess around! Do you think he is for your own good? He wants to harm you and our children!"
"It's not my second brother, it's my own idea. You violate your oath and have broken your trust in my parents; you favor concubines more than your wife, and they are unfaithful to human ethics!" Jiang Pinglan said, "If you don't agree, I will go back to the ancestral home of the Liao family and ask the elders of the clan to open a ancestral hall to distinguish the truth."
Liao Qingmo laughed furiously, "Jiang Pinglan, I think you are crazy."
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Yan knocked in and said, "My sister also wants to raise her baby. Lord Liao please come back."
When Liao Qingmo saw Jiang Bao following Yan, he had to suppress his anger and said, "Madam is understandable. If you calm down and think about it carefully, you will understand that being a husband is for our future plans. You can raise your husband well and take Yuan Dong to see you tomorrow."
Liao Qingmo left the door, but was stopped by Jiang Bao, "Sir, my second master invites you to come over and eat melons."
Liao Qingmo clenched his fists and rushed under the grape trellis. Before he could ask Jiang Feng why he wanted to break up his home. Mr. Jiang Er threw a document on the table and said coldly, "In November of the sixth year of Jinglong, Lord Liao was transferred from Renman to Taikang. It has been less than two years since then. It would be fine if he made a small mistake, but there were thirteen big mistakes, which really shocked me!"
Thirteen items? Liao Qingmo's pupils shrank rapidly. He picked up the official document that was still emitting ink on the table and hurriedly argued, "I really want to blame you for being a crime. There are all counties with such mistakes."
"Oh?" Jiang Feng raised his eyes and asked, "Please tell me that besides Taikang, which county is like this in the twelve counties in the capital? I will write to the prefect, and send someone to check immediately."
Liao Qingmo said neither, nor did he say that he didn't say that, and pursed his lips and said, "You are taking personal revenge!"
"So you know that you treat my sister like that, because you have become enemies with my Jiang family." Mr. Jiang said lazily, "But I am not avenging my private revenge, but when I was ordered to inspect, I will settle the accounts of you and my sister. I will do my business. Lord Liao will take this document back, verify it one by one tonight, explain the whole story in detail, and hand it over to me tomorrow morning. You can also think clearly about my sister's family separation. Let me tell you whether you agree or not."
Liao Qingmo gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you think it will cause my wife to separate!"
Mr. Jiang nodded, "If you don't agree, it's easy to deal with it. My sister will write a letter to sue you to Jingzhao Mansion. The right and wrong will be decided by the prefect of the black and white."
"You..." Liao Qingmo was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Oh, it's wrong." Mr. Jiang smiled and said slowly, "This kind of case is not worthy of personal interrogation by the Prime Minister, so Deputy Yin Zhao will be tried. What the Prime Minister wants to personally inquire is your dereliction of duty and lazy government."
"You..." Liao Qingmo was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he didn't fall on the vegetable melon.
