Chapter 82 Past Events
Beast Taming Sect?
There is actually a sect named "Beast Taming" in the world? No wonder she can tame any animal.
Xie Changan was very surprised. Could it be some hidden sect?
"Yeah." Just think of it as a hidden sect.
Jiang Li was afraid that if he said a few more words, he would be struck by thunder. Did this count as revealing the secret?
She gradually revealed her secrets in front of him, which showed that she was slowly opening her heart to accept him. Xie Changan felt very relieved and said solemnly: "Since it is your sect's privacy, I will never reveal a word to others."
Jiang Li rode Xiaohong home happily. When Aunt Lian heard that it was a gift from Lord Xie, she couldn't help but look at the two of them suspiciously.
Manager Liu was overwhelmed. Although he had a stable at home, a famous horse like the Ferghana could not be taken care of by an ordinary groom, so he needed to seek help from others.
Finally, Xiaohong was temporarily left at Xie's house.
Jiang Li was secretly happy, because now she could enter and leave Xie Changan's mansion openly.
After returning from Xie's house, Jiang Li was taken back to her room by Aunt Lian.
"Girl, tell me the truth, you and Mr. Xie..."
Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Jiang Li blushed and said, "It's just that I like him, and he likes me too."
When Aunt Lian heard this, she was shocked. She should have thought of it a long time ago!
The girl is so beautiful, and Lord Xie is young and handsome. They spend every day together, and it is normal for them to have feelings for each other.
If something happens, how can the girl get married in the future? What if Mr. Xie refuses to take responsibility and abandons her after having sex with her?
"Aunt, do you think so little of us?"
Jiang Li pouted, "He said that after I leave the palace, he would go through the three letters and six ceremonies, marry me formally, and bring me home in a sedan chair carried by eight men."
"Girl, don't make the same mistake as your mother!"
Aunt Lian's eyes turned red. "That's how your mother was fooled by that Jiang guy! How many officials are good people?"
Aunt Lian told Jiang Li everything that happened that year.
At that time, Jiang Xiuyuan was just a director in the Ministry of Works. He came to Jiangnan to inspect water conservancy. He met Fang Yi by chance on the Long Embankment of West Lake and was immediately struck by her beauty.
One was a handsome and romantic young official, and the other was an unparalleled beautiful girl from the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, sparks soon flew between them.
Jiang Xiuyuan was a man of the imperial examination system. He could write poetry and songs at will. He could write a passionate love poem every day. How could Fang Yi, a young girl waiting to be married, resist? She decided to marry him right away.
When Mr. Fang inquired, he found out that Lord Jiang already had a family in Beijing!
Madam Yu was from a prominent family. Although the Yu family had fallen on hard times, they still had some power in the capital.
Old Master Fang was firmly opposed to it. Although he was just a businessman, Fang Yi was his only beloved daughter, the apple of his eye. How could he be willing to let her become someone else's concubine?
But Fang Yi was determined to marry Jiang Xiuyuan, and Jiang Xiuyuan also vowed to marry Fang Yi as his equal wife.
The Jiang family was not doing well and they were often short of money. When Yu heard that the Fang family was very wealthy, she became interested.
She looked virtuous and generous, and readily agreed to Fang Yi's marriage as a co-wife. She was willing to follow the example of Ehuang and Nvying and call each other sisters.
Old Master Fang couldn't persuade Fang Yi, and seeing that the Jiang family was so sincere, he had no choice but to nod and agree.
In order to prevent Fang Yi from being bullied in the Jiang family, he even gave half of Fang's family fortune as a dowry, with a hundred miles of red makeup, which was extremely luxurious.
After Fang Yi married into the Jiang family, she and Jiang Xiuyuan did live a harmonious life for a while. After she became pregnant, Yu's true colors gradually revealed.
She colluded with Madam Jiang and secretly tortured the pregnant Fang Yi, causing her to give birth to Jiang Li prematurely. After struggling to give birth to her, Fang Yi became bedridden.
Yu secretly found a so-called "high monk" who said that the daughter born to Fang Yi was unlucky and would cause Madam Jiang and Fang Yi to become seriously ill from birth. She then forcibly sent the newly born Jiang Li to the countryside.
She also demoted Fang Yi to a concubine on the grounds that she gave birth to an "unlucky" daughter.
Fang Yi was already weak after giving birth. Her only daughter was forcibly sent away, and she herself was demoted to a concubine. She was so angry that she died of depression not long after.
Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang, who were in Jiangnan, were heartbroken upon hearing the sad news. They fell ill and died soon after.
In this way, the Jiang family not only swallowed up Fang Yi's dowry, but also wiped out the entire family. In the name of their granddaughter Jiang Li, they took over all of Fang's properties in Jiangnan.
"Then send me to the palace, so I don't have to pay any dowry!" Jiang Li sneered, "Yu is really calculating!"
"Girl, you must open your eyes and don't follow your mother's path!" Aunt Lian said, wiping her tears.
"So, all of Fang family's assets are under my name?" Jiang Li was thinking of something else.
"I don't know whether the ownership was transferred later. Anyway, the girl was still breastfeeding at that time, what could she know?" Aunt Lian said angrily.
"Where is my adoptive father? Yu was plotting against me and my mother, but he didn't say a word?" Jiang Li sneered.
Aunt Lian said bitterly, "He has no right to be your father! He dared not say a word when the old lady glared at him! When your mother died, although he cried loudly, not long after, he took in two concubines!"
"You have been in the countryside for so many years. Has he ever come to see you? Did he ever say anything when Yu wanted to send you to the palace?"
Jiang Li said coldly: "He still looks like he is deeply in love with her. He goes to worship my mother every year!"
"How did you know?" Aunt Lian looked at her suspiciously.
Jiang Li had no choice but to confess: "I took Mr. Xie to see my mother two days ago, and I happened to see him."
"You even took him to worship your mother?" Aunt Lian was speechless.
"Lord Liao is his adoptive father. On the day the government seal was sealed, we kowtowed to him, and Lord Liao gave me a big red envelope."
Jiang Li decided to go all out and confessed everything.
Now that both sets of parents have met, it’s up to you to do what you want.
Aunt Lian was almost mad and poked her forehead hard: "Do you want to wait until you have worshipped heaven and earth and entered the bridal chamber before telling me?"
Jiang Li's face flushed, and she hugged Aunt Lian and said coquettishly, "Aunt, didn't I have time to tell you? Brother Chang'an hasn't married yet, and he promised me that he would never take a concubine. I won't be like my mother!"
My brother has been called! Aunt Lian had a headache: "I want to see Mr. Xie and ask him in person."
"Ok."
Jiang Li stood up, ran to the backyard wall, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Chengfeng, tell Brother Changan that Aunt Lian wants to see him."
Aunt Lian's face suddenly turned dark. What a coincidence! This house was right next to Xie's house. It turned out that this was all planned!
After a while, Manager Liu welcomed Xie Changan in.
In front of Aunt Lian, he couldn't openly climb over the wall, so he had to pay her a visit honestly.
Aunt Lian suppressed her anger and brought Jiang Li to the front yard.
Jiang Li mouthed to Xie Changan: The truth has been revealed.
Xie Changan gave her a soothing look: I'll take care of everything.
Aunt Lian became even more furious when she saw the two of them flirting with each other in front of her.
