Chapter 67 Cousin, Your Cousin Will Help You Manage the Family Business 6
The Jiang family has now settled down in Yucheng.
Liniang gave birth to a son, and now her heart is entirely devoted to him.
They no longer cared whether they returned to Jiangnan or stayed in Yucheng.
Anyway, my family is all here, so this is home.
Jiang He is currently learning needlework, embroidery, dance, and the guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither), all things that young women usually learn.
Jiang He studied diligently.
Girls in ancient times would all learn these things.
She didn't know how to do it before and didn't dare to touch it, but now that she's learning properly, she won't be afraid of being exposed in the future.
And these things are quite fun and good for passing the time.
Juanniang moved to Jiangnan, and I thought my sister would come to visit soon, but half a month has passed and I haven't seen her.
Juanniang was afraid that her sister didn't know she had come, so she sent someone to the Jiang residence to deliver a message.
Unexpectedly, the Jiang residence was already deserted, and my sister had moved out long ago.
It's been a year since I last came back.
Juanniang didn't believe it, so she came herself.
As a result, there was only an empty house left.
When asked about her sister's whereabouts, she simply said she didn't know.
He wasn't a servant who used to work here; they had all left. He was just a gatekeeper and didn't know the previous owners, let alone where they had gone.
Juanniang couldn't find her sister, so she had to give up.
She couldn't possibly spend a lot of time on her sister.
Now Juanniang has regained control of the household.
When Magistrate Hua arrived, he was to entertain the other local officials.
Juanniang found a fault in Aunt Zhao's house and took the opportunity to seize control of the household.
After all, they had to entertain other officials and their families.
If this is done wrong, it would be an insult to Magistrate Hua.
Juanniang was quite experienced in handling this matter, so the housekeeping authority was returned to her.
Juanniang has regained control of the household and is now enjoying a period of great success.
They were trying to find ways to suppress the concubines in the backyard.
Unfortunately, the more Juanniang suppressed him at home, the more Magistrate Hua indulged in his pleasures outside.
There are many beautiful women in Jiangnan.
Magistrate Hua frequented brothels and saw many beautiful women.
Each one of them was more beautiful, more charming, and more delicate than Aunt Zhao.
Magistrate Hua was so infatuated that he rarely even went to the backyard anymore.
I'm getting tired of the food at home; nothing beats the aroma of what's served outside.
Even Aunt Zhao couldn't keep her husband.
Magistrate Hua goes out to drink and carouse every day, sometimes returning with a strong smell of perfume and lipstick stains on his clothes.
Juanniang was so angry at home that she smashed countless things.
They mocked Aunt Zhao, saying she was old and faded and couldn't keep any more men.
Aunt Zhao is now teetering on the brink of collapse due to Magistrate Hua's favoritism, and she no longer clashes with Juan Niang.
Only the master's favor matters; everything else is secondary.
One day, Magistrate Hua brought back a woman from a brothel.
Juanniang was furious.
Having fun outside is one thing, but bringing people back is another.
The girls he brought back before were all decent women, but this time he brought back a whore.
The woman entered the mansion with her chest and shoulders exposed and wearing only a light veil.
It's truly indecent and disgusting.
Juanniang and Magistrate Hua had a big argument, and Juanniang smashed things in public, injuring people.
Magistrate Hua was furious and locked Juan Niang in the courtyard, forbidding her to come out.
The power to manage the household was also handed over to Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao agreed with a smile and even arranged a courtyard and maids for the girl, Shenyan, whom Magistrate Hua had brought back.
Miss Shenyan didn't care about any of that; she only touched the master's scratched face with heartache.
Magistrate Hua's favorite thing was that Miss Shenyan only had eyes for him.
Magistrate Hua immediately took Miss Shenyan to his courtyard.
He ate and lived with Miss Chenyan.
When Juanniang found out, she smashed everything in the house.
He was constantly cursing Shenyan.
"Master, Yan'er should go back."
"Where is Yan'er going? Yan'er is mine, and I won't let you leave me."
"Yan'er doesn't want to leave Master, but Yan'er doesn't want to make things difficult for Master. Madam doesn't like me. Actually, Yan'er doesn't care if Madam scolds me."
I don't know how many times Yan'er has heard these words.
However, Yan'er didn't want the master to be scolded as well.
The master is a good man, and the luckiest thing Yan'er has ever done in her life is to meet him.
But Yan'er will cause the master to get scolded.
If leaving would prevent the master from being scolded, then Yan'er would be willing to leave.
As long as the master still comes to visit Yan'er occasionally, Yan'er is content.
The girl, Chenyan, said this with red eyes.
His eyes were brimming with tears.
After she finished speaking, tears fell.
"Yan'er, I won't let you leave."
You are mine, and you will always stay by my side.
Don't worry, no one will dare to scold you.
Magistrate Hua took his whip and went to Juanniang's room.
He gave Juanniang a severe beating.
If Hua Wenhao hadn't intervened, Magistrate Hua would have really beaten Juan Niang to death.
Jiang Qingyun felt a little regretful when she received the news.
Why not just strangle them to death?
Shen Yan was someone Jiang Qingyun rescued from bandits. To repay Jiang Qingyun, she took the initiative to approach Magistrate Hua and get rid of those people.
Seeing that his father had taken action himself, Jiang He left the opportunity for revenge to him.
Jiang's father must have hated them to death too.
However, Jiang He gave Chen Yan a loyalty pill so that she wouldn't betray them.
They also gave Shenyan some torturous medicine, colorless and odorless poison.
The encounter between Shen Yan and Magistrate Hua was also pre-arranged.
Before that, he observed all the types of girls that Magistrate Hua liked.
The girl, Chenyan, possessed all the talents of everyone, and Magistrate Hua was captivated at first sight, unable to leave her side.
Even disregarding the fact that Shenyan was a courtesan, he spent a fortune to bring her back.
Shenyan glanced coldly at Hua Wenhao, who had suddenly rushed out.
If it weren't for him, she would have already taken care of one.
But since he's going to break through, let's take care of him first.
Miss Shenyan lowered her head, concealing the coldness in her eyes.
"Master, master, please stop! Stop hitting him!"
"Madam, Madam will die. Master, please, don't do anything foolish."
Magistrate Hua calmed down after being persuaded by Miss Shenyan.
Finally, pointing the whip at Juan Niang, he said, "If I ever hear anyone gossiping about Chen Yan again, I will never let you get away with it."
Magistrate Hua took Chen Yan back to his courtyard.
Juanniang was beaten to the point of near death.
Hua Wenhao went to see a doctor. His mother was badly injured and needed to rest in bed for a long time.
Moreover, when Magistrate Hua was whipping his wife, he didn't care about anything else; he even whipped her face.
Juanniang's face will probably be scarred.
Knowing that her face was disfigured, Juanniang hated Chenyan even more.
The master had never treated Aunt Zhao like this before.
To kill Yan, a whore actually confined her to her quarters and whipped her.
Previously, when she scolded him, he would just walk away without ever saying a word. This time, however, he directly attacked her.
Next time, I'll just kill her.
The ashes must absolutely not be left behind.
However, Juanniang couldn't get out, so she instructed Hua Wenhao to make sure Chenyan was driven out.
Otherwise, they will certainly not have peace.
Now she's treating Shen Yan like this.
If Chen Yan has a child in the future, Hua Wenhao will probably be eliminated as well.
Hua Wenhao witnessed his father's madness and his mother's disarray today, all because of Chen Yan.
He knew his mother was right; he had to get rid of Chenyan.
