The county magistrate changed his career to selling private vegetables and sold them out

Jiao's mother said angrily: "Young lady, how shameless do you look like! Let's make a deal first this time. Don't quarrel with His Majesty anymore. There is a distinction between monarch and minister, so as not to lose your sense of proportion and be criticized."

"Don't worry, mother, I am a reasonable person, Your Majesty knows best! Tomorrow...in a few days, I have to prepare first, and I will go to the palace to thank you in a few days!"

Mother Jiao felt relieved.

When Fu Qiyuan came back in the evening, he told Jiang Shan some unfavorable news with a sad face. He was going to report to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow!
The emperor issued an ultimatum. If Fu Qiyuan doesn't agree, he will set the wedding date for two years!
As the Son of Heaven, you still have this bit of power!
Fu Qiyuan had to agree. The wedding date had been set for next autumn, and it was still more than half a year away. If the emperor interfered with it again, it would be far away!
He really can't wait!

Jiang Shan handed the dowry list to Fu Qiyuan to read, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is bleeding heavily this time, and you won't let it go if you don't get some money back! Maybe your father won't be able to escape!"

Jiang Shan was right. On the third day after Fu Qiyuan arrived in the Ministry of Officials, the emperor announced Fu Ting into the palace again.

As long as it was for the good of the country, Fu Ting almost didn't think anything about it.

But he still declined for a while, the reason is very simple, father and son are both officials in the Six Departments, it is too eye-catching, why not give him a spare job, let him go to Shengxue Palace to take care of his grandson... to be a master!
The emperor refused and immediately put down his cruel words: What nonsense!Do what I ask you to do!Whenever I don’t want you anymore, just get out of here!
For the sake of his daughter-in-law, Fu Ting could only endure it silently!
Fu Ting was in a bad mood and ran to the Taishi Mansion to seek comfort from his son, daughter-in-law and grandson.

After entering the door and turning around, the son was nowhere to be seen, nor was the future daughter-in-law, nor was the grandson.

Take a rest today, where have all the people gone?
He went to Jiao's mother's yard, and when he entered the door, he shouted carelessly: "Mei'er, aren't the teacher and Yan'er back? Shan'er and Huai'er aren't home either, where did they go?"

But Mother Jiao didn't reply.

After entering the main hall, I saw Jiao's mother waiting for guests, and it was his concubine who was waiting for her.

Seeing Cheng Lan, Fu Ting narrowed his cold eyes and asked unceremoniously: "Why are you here?"

Cheng Lan saw that Fu Ting was a little restless. When he heard what he said, the arrogance in his bones suddenly emerged, and he shouted in a high voice: "Why can't I come? I still use it when I come to my second uncle's house." Do you, an outsider, agree? What does it have to do with me coming to see my cousin? It’s you who abandoned your old wife, and now you want to renew your relationship with my sister? "

Mother Jiao glanced at Cheng Lan nonchalantly and said nothing.

Fu Ting lifted up his robe and sat down opposite Cheng Lan. He smiled faintly and said, "You are such a sister who rushes to throw dirty water on your sister? Mei'er, why do you let such a person in?" "

Cheng Lan's face turned pale and white for a moment, and she cursed with hatred: "Fu Ting, shut up! If you didn't have a dirty mind, would you still be afraid of being gossip?"

Fu Ting waved his hands and said in a low voice, "Come on, get this shrew out!"

"Fu Ting, this is the Grand Master's Mansion, how dare you!"

"I have been reinstated to my post. How can you, an abandoned wife of a lowly servant, insult a high-ranking second-grade official at will? Hold on! If you dare to speak rudely again, slap me!"

Someone immediately stepped forward to hold Cheng Lan and drag her outside.

Cheng Lan panicked, grabbed Mother Jiao, and begged, "Sister, it's my fault, I said something wrong, I didn't mean it, please forgive me!"

Mother Jiao raised her eyes and said quietly: "Sister, I told you that I am not a good-tempered person. Just now you scolded Yan'er for being unfilial in front of me, and you also hinted that Yan'er has no respect for his elders. I have tolerated it. You've been waiting for a long time! If you are sensible, go back quickly. My second uncle will attend the wedding of Yan'er and Shan'er with full authority on behalf of the Cheng family. I will take care of your children and grandchildren for you, don't worry!"

"No, Yuan'er is my son, he can't ignore me as his biological mother! Cheng Mei, you don't let our mother and son meet, you don't let me see my grandson, you are so vicious, you will be punished!"

Mother Jiao shook her head, "What I see now is that you are getting retribution! Even if you shout all over the world that Yan'er is disrespectful and unfilial to your own mother, you can report it to the emperor and see if His Majesty will do it this time. I will ask you to go to Longshan to re-cultivate the virtues of women just like your mother!"

Cheng Lan was so frightened that she shuddered all over, and closed her mouth sobbing.

When the servant threw Cheng Lan out, Jiang Shan was getting off the carriage with Jiang Huai, holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand and chewing on them.

But Jiang Huai was carrying his small backpack, and was still peeling sugar and fried millet seeds in his hand.

When Cheng Lan looked over, Jiang Huai was handing a peeled chestnut to Jiang Shan's mouth.

"Well, it's delicious! Dear son, you peel one and eat it yourself, it's so sweet!"

"Huai'er will peel it off for Mom to eat if she likes it!"

Jiang Shan smiled and lowered his head to kiss Jiang Huai, and when he turned around, he saw Cheng Lan.

Cheng Lan looked at Jiang Huai with shining eyes and stretched out her hand towards him, "Huai'er! Huai'er! I'm a grandmother. Be good and let my grandmother hug you, okay?"

Jiang Huai frowned, took a look at Jiang Shan, and took his mother's hand to walk around Cheng Lan.

Cheng Lan was anxious and grabbed Jiang Shan, "Shan'er, let me see Huai'er. He is my grandson. Can't I even hug him?"

Jiang Shan said softly: "Auntie, Jiang Huai doesn't like to be in contact with strangers, let alone hugged by unfamiliar people, let alone you, even the nobles of the palace!"

Cheng Lan pulled Jiang Shan tightly and said with tears: "Shan'er, I know I did something wrong, but I really like Huai'er. He is my grandson. Just let me hug him." Come on, aunt, please!”

Jiang Shan frowned, glanced at Jiang Huai, and said, "Jiang Huai, you go in first!"

Jiang Huai didn't suspect him, so he walked in without looking back.

"Huai'er!" Cheng Lan shouted desperately.

Jiang Shan bowed slightly, stared into Cheng Lan's eyes and said word by word: "Aunt, I might as well tell you the truth, Jiang Huai is not Fu Qiyuan's biological son, he is my... illegitimate son, you can give up on this idea. !”

"You're talking nonsense!" Cheng Lan shook his head and said fiercely: "Yuan'er went to Guyang County to look for relatives and left for more than half a year. Huai'er is his son. You can't lie to me!"

As if something exploded in Jiang Shan's mind, she immediately said: "I was already pregnant with Huai'er when Fu Qiyuan went to Guyang County, and the child is not his!"

Cheng Lan was unwilling to believe that Jiang Huai was not her own grandson even though she was beaten to death. She shook her head and said anxiously: "Yuan'er arrived in Guyang County very early, if it wasn't for his black-hearted concubine who poisoned him, He has long been... no, Yan'er has been poisoned by that kind of poison, and it will affect his children..."

At this point, Cheng Lan's expression changed drastically. She looked at Jiang Shan in horror and said incoherently: "It's impossible. Huai'er is Yuan'er's son. The poison in him has been cured, cured...!"

Cheng Lan was shocked, her eyes changed again and again as she looked at Jiang Shan, her lips were trembling and she was speechless.
