Chapter Six: Lu Wenbin's Revenge
"Silly girl, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Chen touched Xiang'er's little head in a funny way and said softly:
"You and my wife are not objects, but my family. How can family and affection be bought and sold? Don't listen to those bastard words with dirty thoughts in the future!"
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of candied fruit and stuffed it into Xiang'er's little mouth.
The little girl immediately blushed and narrowed her big almond-shaped eyes, which was both shy and sweet!
But Aunt Liu was furious after hearing what Jiang Chen said!
Crossing the water snake's waist, he shouted angrily at Jiang Chen:
"Who do you think has a dirty mind? You are so young that you are actually willing to marry a family man. I don't know what your intentions are. Could it be that you have some hidden illness?"
"That's right! He must have a hidden illness! Otherwise, with his appearance and ability to make money, if he can't marry any good young lady, why would he marry a poor man?"
Aunt Liu San immediately echoed.
"Huh? That makes sense!"
When Liu Mingjie and the ladies heard this, they all looked at Jiang Chen with strange eyes.
Well……
Jiang Chen glared at Liu Mingjie with a dark face, almost wanting to take her home to prove it.
Seeing this, his uncle quickly explained: "To be honest, Brother Chen and Yueniang have been engaged for a long time.
After Yueniang was forced to stay out of the house by the evil man, I thought that the marriage was a dirty one and I didn't dare to publicize it. Unexpectedly, in order to keep his word, Brother Chen took the initiative to come to the door and ask for the fulfillment of the engagement.
Alas, such honest people are so rare in ancient times!"
"Cousin, what you said is serious! If you don't trust someone, you won't be able to stand up! How can I break my trust just for the sake of a mere reputation?"
Jiang Chen's face was full of justice.
Well--
What the hell are you two talking about?
Auntie and Liu Mingjie looked confused!
Liu Yueniang and Xiang'er were stunned!
But all the girls believed it, and said to Jiang Chen with expressions of admiration: "Young Master Jiang keeps his word, I admire him!"
After saying that, all the girls looked at Aunt Liu Second and Third Aunt Liu with unkind eyes:
"You two, first spread the rumor that Mr. Jiang wants to sell his wife, and then spread the rumor that he has a hidden illness. It's an understatement to say that you have dirty minds. You simply have evil minds!"
"Yes, they are a pair of poisonous women!"
"One wants to pick up a beautiful and capable maid for nothing for his idle son; the other wants to find a virtuous woman to fill the mud pit for his prostitute-loving nephew.
You keep plotting against Yueniang and Xiang'er every day, and you don't think they are any good at all. Do you really think that we are stupid and can't see what you are thinking?"
"Hmph! Don't look at the virtues of your son and nephew. Are they worthy of being compared with Mr. Jiang?"
"Let me see, whoever follows your son or nephew will be betrayed!"
"..."
"Uh, you guys..."
Second Aunt Liu and Third Aunt Liu were so scolded that they blushed with embarrassment and anger. After glaring at the group of wallflowers with hatred, they picked up the wooden basin and ran away in despair.
They never expected that they would not reap the benefits but would ruin their reputation, and they were extremely depressed.
…
However, Liu Yueniang and Xiang'er, who had been bullied by them, saw it with joy and relief!
Jiang Chen also felt relieved. After taking out a pack of candied fruits to 'reward' the girls, he looked at Liu Yueniang with a look of pity and said, "Didn't I tell you to have a good rest at home? Why are you disobedient?"
"I……"
As soon as Liu Yueniang opened her mouth, Jiang Chen stuffed a piece of snowflake cake into it and said with a bad smile:
"This piece of cake is a punishment for your disobedience. You are not allowed to do these things again in the future!
Let’s go home with my husband!”
Jiang Chen shook his folding fan and walked forward in high spirits.
Well……
Liu Yueniang stared at him with a red face, not knowing whether to be embarrassed or happy.
When Aunt Liu saw it, she smiled ambiguously and said, "Husbands and wives should be close to each other. There is nothing to be afraid of or ashamed of. Stop being in a daze and go home with your husband!"
"Yes, you married such a capable person, why do you need to suffer like this again!"
"Come on, Yueniang, aunt will help you!"
"..."
The aunt and a group of women helped Liu Yueniang to the river bank with great affection, as if they were serving a pregnant woman.
This made the suffering Liu Yueniang feel uncomfortable and at the same time feel proud, and the corners of her charming lips could not help but curl up.
After turning back and taking a deep look at the women working hard under the river bank, she held hands with Xiang'er and followed Jiang Chen step by step.
…
After exchanging a few words with Fourth Aunt Liu, my aunt also pulled Liu Mingjie and her cousin, who was carrying rice and noodles, to follow.
Seeing Jiang Chen's cold attitude, he flattered Liu Yueniang and said with a smile:
"Yue Niang, brother Chen is now a respectable person, but he only has one suit of clothes that doesn't suit him. Why don't we buy a few feet of cloth and let's make a few more clothes for him together with Mingjie?"
Liu Yueniang understood her aunt's intention as soon as she heard it. She glanced at her and Liu Mingjie's swollen little hands and said softly to Jiang Chen, "I also have the same idea. What do you think, sir?"
"The lady is in charge!"
Jiang Chen said, looking at his aunt with a playful look on his face and added: "Just don't shortchange your aunt's wages, otherwise it will be known to everyone again!"
Well……
Auntie lowered her head in embarrassment.
Just when I didn't know how to explain it, a bald middle-aged scholar and several fierce-looking men suddenly rushed out of the roadside tavern.
…
"Jiang, you didn't expect us to meet again so soon, did you?"
Lu Wenbin shook his folding fan and stared at Jiang Chen with incomparable hatred.
"Old man Lu? You are really a piece of shit! I can see you wherever I go!"
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then he greeted him with a big smile and told his cousin: "Take Yueniang and the others back first."
My cousin nodded and was about to leave when Lu Wenbin shouted coldly: "Stop! No one is allowed to leave! Chief Wang wants to see you!"
Wang Baochang?
My cousin followed his gaze and saw a horse-faced man with a big black mole on the corner of his mouth sitting under the awning of the tavern with an arrogant expression on his face. His eyelids twitched involuntarily.
He hurriedly put down the rice noodles and leaned into Jiang Chen's ear to remind:
"This Wang Baochang relies on his uncle Wang Zhongke, who is Prime Minister Cai's father-in-law Taishan, to do all kinds of evil. Anyone caught by him will have his family ruined, and his children and daughters will be sold! You must deal with it carefully!"
Um?
Wang Zhongke? The eldest daughter married Cai Jing to fill a house, and the younger daughter married Qin Hui’s super father-in-law? Li Qingzhao’s fourth uncle? The one whose whole family is a traitor? Is he his uncle?
Jiang Chen secretly frowned.
Lu Wenbin, who had been observing his reaction, had a proud face and said with a low voice and a sinister smile:
"Let's go, eldest nephew! Go see what kind of surprises I have prepared for you and the little widow who dares to reject me! Haha..."
Amidst the laughter, Lu Wenbin grabbed Jiang Chen's arm and came to Wang Baochang, pointed at him and said: "Wang Baochang, this is that shameless villain Jiang Chen!"
