Chapter 284 Mrs. Gao’s plan
When Gao Shiheng found the inn, Shen Nanzhi had already checked out and gone to chase Shen Desheng. Everything here had been arranged, so there was no need to stay any longer.
Miss Shen is very busy.
Gao Shiheng felt lost and deeply regretful. Why did he leave so quickly?
Thinking carefully about Shen Nanzhi's appearance, it is really hard to imagine that she is a girl. She has heroic eyebrows, a tall nose bridge, lips of moderate thickness, and always has a lazy and gentle smile on her face. Her eyes are clear and moving. I dare not imagine what she would look like in women's clothes.
It was really because Shen Nanzhi's temperament was too romantic and free and easy, without any of the tenderness of a girl, so it was inevitable that Gao Shiheng would admit his mistake.
When they returned to the county government's inner residence, Mrs. Gao was not in her room. The maids were taking care of the children, and Zhao Jie'er was looking after her younger brother. She seemed a little unfamiliar with Gao Shiheng.
Gao Shiheng left Shen Nanzhi aside and coaxed Zhao Jie'er first, "I am your uncle, don't be afraid, I will protect you from now on and will not let you and your brother be bullied.
"My uncle brought you a lot of gifts. Do you like them?"
Gao Shiheng coaxed the child with exceptional patience and gentleness, and Zhao Jie'er gradually fell in love with this uncle whom she met for the first time.
Madam Gao went to Jiang's mother's room. At this time, she didn't know that the Jiang family had changed. When she saw Madam Gao, she opened her mouth and cursed: "You bitch, you killed my son, why didn't you kill me too?
Don’t think I don’t know. My son’s death must be caused by you, you bitch, you will not die well…”
Mrs. Gao listened to her scolding, and a deep coldness flashed in her eyes. When she was tired of scolding, Mrs. Gao sat down and said, "We have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for ten years. Do you want to hear my opinion of you?"
Jiang's mother was stunned for a moment: "What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that this is the first time in my life that I know of a woman who can use so many swear words, and her swearing is so disgusting, and her hideous face is like a ghost. I have never seen this in the first sixteen years of my life. You let me see the vicious side of women.
Not only is your face hideous, but your heart also makes me feel the most vicious woman's heart. You can curse me as much as you want, but I won't do anything to you."
Mother Jiang said proudly, "I am your mother-in-law. If you dare not be filial to me, I will go to the prefectural government to sue you. Let's see if you are afraid or not."
Madam Gao sneered: "I'm really not afraid. Regardless of whether you can get out of this door or not, I won't do anything to you for what you've done now, but I feel uncomfortable, and someone has to bear the consequences.
Who could it be? I heard that you care most about your niece from your mother's family and those two concubines? Then I can only vent my anger on them.
I can't learn to curse, but my former governess came from the palace. She used to pierce silver needles through ten fingers, and made people kneel on a cushion covered with porcelain pieces. There were so many punishments that I had never heard of. I would let them experience them one by one.
I forgot to tell you, my mother-in-law, that I have locked them up for attempting to disrupt the master's funeral. Tell me, how should I punish them?
Should we first send them to kneel in front of the master's grave for three days and three nights? Or should we send them to reunite with their family? After all, what they are looking forward to most is a family reunion!"
Mother Jiang was trembling all over. She saw the crazy cruelty in Mrs. Gao's calm eyes. "You, how did you know? No, if you dare to touch them, I will not let you go. Those two children are also the flesh and blood of the Jiang family. How can you be so cruel?"
"Haha..., flesh and blood of the Jiang family? What a joke. To this day, do you think I care? I gave birth to children for Jiang Qingyu and took care of the household chores. It was all a great blessing for him. He still dared to find a concubine and raise an illegitimate child. Did he really think I couldn't do anything to him?
If I hadn't done it for the sake of our children, would I have tolerated you until now?
Unfortunately, you regarded my patience as cowardice, and you actually wanted to kill me and my child? Mother-in-law, the last thing you should do is to hit me and my child. You killed your son!"
Jiang's mother was shocked: "You, what did you do? If you have anything to do, come to me, just let them go."
"No, no, how could I, such a filial and virtuous daughter-in-law, abuse my mother-in-law? If this gets out, wouldn't it be a violation of etiquette and a great act of treason?
My son will study for the imperial examinations in the future, and his reputation cannot have any blemish, so you don't have to worry, mother-in-law. I will take good care of you and support you for a hundred years, so that you can be comfortable as the old lord of the family.
But how others behave depends on how you behave. After all, they have nothing to do with me. Whether they live or die, whether they eat coarse food or meat and rice, all depends on your performance, mother-in-law."
"You, you threaten me!"
"You can think of it this way. The value of their lives is only this much. I don't care about their food, but if you want them to die, go ahead and curse them.
I forgot to tell you that my eldest brother is here. If you want to kill all the members of the Jiang family and your mother's family, just find a way to send them a letter.
Jiang Qingyu's death did not eliminate much of my resentment. After all, he died so easily. Every time I think of it, it feels like there is a fire burning in my heart. The only thing that can put out this fire is the blood of their two families, haha..."
Jiang's mother felt like she was like a madman now, and even her smile was so creepy. It turned out that the most heartbreaking thing was not vicious abuse, but destroying the things you care about and making you live a life worse than death.
Jiang's mother was really scared. "You, don't retaliate against them. I will listen to you. Don't do anything to them. I beg you."
"Oh, I don't deserve it. How can my noble mother-in-law ask for help? You have raised a promising son, which is great. Everyone will flatter you. If you want to enjoy all the glory and wealth, you must live well.
I am not happy at this moment. I will go and have a good talk with my husband's beloved mistress. Come, bring the brazier. If I am not happy looking at that face, destroy it."
"You can't destroy her. Let her go. She is innocent."
"No, since she knew that my husband married me and gave birth to a child, she tried to kill me and take everything from me. She is not innocent and is as hateful as Jiang Qingyu."
Mrs. Gao ignored her desperate pleas for mercy and took her people to the woodshed.
"Add ten more people to serve the old lady in the yard, and provide her with delicious food and drinks. Don't neglect her at all. She is the mascot of our family.
But if she dares to act like a demon and say something I don't like, you can whip that woman with a whip to let her know that there will be retribution for her dirty words. "
The sinister smile on Mrs. Gao's lips made the servants silent. Such a lady was so scary.
The old lady has been domineering for so many years, it's time for her to pay back.
The concubine's surname is Yu, and she is a pretty beauty. She has a weak and helpless temperament, like a little white rabbit. She is really pitiful. It's a pity that Mrs. Gao is not a man and cannot appreciate this beauty.
"Hey, look at you, you are a beauty after all, wouldn't it be good to be someone's wife? You have to be a concubine, are you a lowly person at heart?"
Yu stared at her with resentment, "You are the bitch. You relied on your good family background to force your cousin to marry you. We are childhood sweethearts and promised to be together for the rest of our lives. You are the bitch."
Mrs. Gao remained calm and said, "You didn't tell me about this. When we were engaged, my family asked him if he had a marriage partner or a sweetheart. He chose the power of the Gao family and gave up you. If you want to blame someone, you should blame him for being greedy and vain and betraying your agreement.
For so many years, you have been enjoying Jiang Qingyu's support, but you probably never thought that everything you eat, wear and use were all my, Gao Yulong's dowry. Why didn't you say I was cheap when you used them?
I am too lazy to tell you more. In your next life, reincarnate as a legitimate wife, and don’t be someone’s concubine. "
"What do you want? Release my children. They are all descendants of the Jiang family. You can't disown them."
"Who can prove it? Even if you come to the mansion as a concubine, I will not tolerate you. I will not need your food, clothing, and other expenses. But a mistress has no name or status, and your child is also a bastard. Why should I adopt a few bastards to disgust me?
Do you regret it now? You will regret it even more in the rest of your life. Your children will be slaves for the rest of their lives, and your descendants will be pariahs. This is all Jiang Qingyu's fault. A hundred years later, you can settle the score with him."
Mrs. Gao came to see her to make Yu give up and make it over. In the future, their existence would only be used to threaten Jiang's mother.
After Jiang Mu died, a criminal slave would be assigned to her, so that her descendants would have to be the lowest class of untouchables, unable to get enough food, and never be able to turn over a new leaf.
After Mrs. Gao had dealt with them, she asked Gao Shiheng to deal with them. The Gao family had so many farms, and Yu and the children were sent to the farthest and most difficult farm. If Jiang's mother wanted to see them, she could reunite with them.
I think Jiang's mother is enjoying the good life in the mansion and is reluctant to accompany them. Jiang's mother is selfish in her bones and will make the choice that is best for herself.
Even if someone doubts the cause of Magistrate Jiang's death in the future, no one will doubt Mrs. Gao. After all, she has been supporting Magistrate Jiang's mother for more than ten years. She truly loves Magistrate Jiang. Even though he is dead, she still loves him and is filial to his mother-in-law. How can she be a bad person?
In the future, when the children grow up, they will only see her good side. All the conspiracies and calculations will no longer be verifiable. She will always be the most loving and gentle mother.
Mrs. Gao wanted more than that. Before the new county magistrate took office, she personally stepped forward to take over the subsequent disaster relief matters, and even spent all her family wealth to help more people. With the operation of the Gao family, after the disaster relief was over, the emperor conferred the title of county lord on her.
With the title of county lady, Mrs. Gao can live independently without being looked down upon, and her son can also live with dignity.
Mrs. Gao did not rush back to the capital. Instead, she bought a new house and settled down in Zhao County. No wealthy gentry in the county dared to offend her. Even every county magistrate would pay a visit to Mrs. Gao before taking office. She was the local emperor of Zhao County.
