Chapter 275 â My Son Has Facial Paralysis (part 6)
In the old house of the Jiang family in Songyuan County, Jiang Hewen lay on the bed, recovering from his injuries.
âMaster!â The servant, Chen San, hurried in.
âSpeak!â Jiang Hewen opened his eyes and turned his head.
âThis servant has inquired about it. After the county princess divorced, she did not discuss a marriage. Instead, she adopted a child. Now, she took the child to Xishan to do some work. She claims that she wants to perform a ceremony for the soldiers,â Chen San quickly said the news.
Songyuan County was four or five days away from the capital, and transportation was inconvenient. Getting information was not very convenient.
Hearing this, Jiang Hewen felt a little relieved. âI see. You can leave and rest.â
After Chen San left, Jiang Hewen lay on the pillow and let out a long sigh of relief. It was fine if there was no marriage discussion. The fact that she only adopted a child showed that she still couldnât let go of him, which meant that he still had a chance!
This was probably the best news for him now.
Jiang Hewen was a smart person. He had long noticed that the familyâs attitude towards him had changed. He understood sending him to his hometown to avoid the limelight. When he first arrived, people from the capital would come to deliver things every day, and he had everything. At a glance, he knew that this was his motherâs doing. When his mother saw something good, she thought about him not having it and had someone bring it to him.
But recently, although there were still things coming, the time between deliveries was getting longer and the things that were sent were getting rougher. Jiang Hewen guessed something was going on.
He asked Chen San to inquire.
As a result, he guessed right. On the day he left, his mother found out that she was pregnant.
Was this because they saw that he had no more use and they wanted to change their efforts on someone else?
A gloomy look flashed in Jiang Hewenâs eyes. It was not surprising that his father thought so. His father was not his father. No matter how much he hurt himself, he must also take into account his eldest brotherâs thoughts. But his mother was his mother. Shouldnât she love him wholeheartedly? Now that she had a small one, didnât she care about him?
Ha ha! They dared to fight with him. Heâd see who had the last laugh!
On the Jiang familyâs side, Mrs. Jiang-Wang held her stomach and lay on the bed. She didnât dare to go anywhere. Because she was pregnant, the wet nurses from the Imperial Household Department did not dare to embarrass her much. They went back after three days. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, when she was walking in the garden, she tripped on the cobblestone. Although the maids rescued her in time, she still had pregnancy complications.
The doctor said that she had to stay in bed, otherwise she might have a miscarriage.
Jiang Wande and Mrs. Jiang-Wang were both frightened. Therefore, Mrs. Jiang-Wang was lying on the bed at this time, not daring to go anywhere.
âMadam, the peaceful foetal medicine is ready. Eat it while itâs hot.â Qinghe, the maid, came in with a bowl of peaceful foetal medicine.
With the help of Qinghe, Mrs. Jiang-Wangi finished drinking the peaceful feotal medicine. âItâs so bitter.â
âMadam, have some candied fruit. Itâs from Wufangzhai. The master bought it specially.â Qing He flattered Mrs. Jiang-Wang.
After Mrs. Jiang-Wang finished rinsing her mouth, she put a candied fruit in her mouth and smiled sweetly. The master was still very good to her. She made such a big mistake, and the master was demoted. The master didnât blame her. She was really lucky to have met him.
Suddenly, the sweetness on Mrs. Jiang-Wangâs face was replaced by pain. Qing He was taken aback. âMadam, whatâs wrong? Madam? Someone, call the doctor!â
After some time, the doctor announced that Mrs. Jiang-Wang had a miscarriage. Because Mrs. Jiang-Wang was already five months pregnant, and the miscarriage at this time was very traumatic, she probably would not be able to get pregnant again in the future.
Jiang Wande felt sorry for his wife, but he was more angry. How did she have a miscarriage?
After investigation and questioning, it was determined that Mrs. Jiang-Wang had a miscarriage after drinking the peaceful foetus medicine. Jiang Wande ordered someone to investigate. It was found that the wet nurse of both Jiang Hecheng and Jiang Hexian was the only one who had been exposed to the abortion drug. And she, too, had a motive.
Faced with such an outcome and the angry eyes of his eldest son, Jiang Wande could only choose to cover up the matter and drive the wet nurseâs family out of the house. Mrs. Jiang-Wang was very reassuring, she always trusted him and would not doubt anything.
However, his long-awaited son was gone.
Jiang Wande slumped in the chair, frustrated.
In Songyuan County, Jiang Hewen looked at the chattering people, covered the indifference in his eyes, and put on a warm smile. âIs your mother feeling better?â
âMadam is much better. Thanks, young master, for remembering. No, it is better to let this old servant come to Songyuan County to see you in person. Are your injuries better? You have been injured for a long time, so you have to take good care of your injuries! âThe one who came was Wet Nurse Liu, the one whom Mrs. Jiang-Wang trusted the most.
âYou donât need to worry about my injuries. Tell mother they are fine.â Jiang Hewen smiled.
After Wet Nurse Liu left. The smile on Jiang Hewenâs face quickly disappeared. They were still lying to him. Did they really think he didnât know anything?
His so-called biological parents were nothing more than that. In this world, the most trustworthy person is yourself and only yourself. You would never fail yourself!
At the Huguo Temple in Xishan, Li Su also received news about the Jiang family. More importantly, Li Zhong also found out who the real murderer was behind the scenes.
âYou said it was Jiang Hewen who let someone put something in his motherâs peaceful foetus medicine, causing his mother to have a miscarriage? Why? Thatâs his own mother. At that age, a miscarriage hurts the body. What if something happened?â Li Su asked in surprise.
Li Zhong smiled, his county princess was still too simple. She did not know that peopleâs hearts were sinister. âWouldnât that child threaten his status? Although Jiang Wande has an ordinary career, he is a good businessman. He has more than a dozen shops in Jiangnan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his family is rich. The eldest son is weak. Jiang Wande has only one healthy son, Jiang Hewen.â
Seeing Li Suâs shocked expression, Li Zhong continued. âThis subordinate intended to send someone to Songyuan County to teach Jiang Hewen a lesson. This subordinate did not expect that Jiang Hewenâs plan would be discovered. This person is really cruel to watch his lover die in front of his eyes and also has the capacity to be cruel to his biological mother and unborn child. Fortunately, the general and his wife were able to send County Princess a dream, allowing County Princess to see his true face early on.â Otherwise, the county princess of his family would definitely be taken advantage of by Jiang Hewen!
Li Su was thinking about this matter. Was it mentioned? After thinking about it for a long time, she finally remembered it. There were a few words mentioning this. Not long after the original owner and Jiang Hewen got married, Mrs. Jiang-Wang became ill. It took more than two months for her to get better. Probably because of this event, the time was about right.
If Mrs. Jiang-Wangâs miscarriage was done by Jiang Hewen, how mad was this person?! Jiang Hewen was worried that he would become an abandoned child. She could both understand and not understand this. In the story, everything was smooth sailing for Jiang Hewen for a while. Everything was under his control, but he still did that to his own mother. It showed that that person was mentally abnormal, and would rather turn his back on the world than have the world turn its back on him!
How unlucky it was for the original owner was to meet a pervert like Jiang Hewen!
âUncle Zhong, youâre right. It was all because of my parentsâ blessing from the heavens. Uncle Zhong, it is better not to provoke such a person, so withdraw your people,â Li Su said.
Li Zhong was not afraid of a madman like Jiang Hewen, but he was afraid that Jiang Hewen would become mad and do something to implicate the county princess. After all, Jiang Hewen was a mouse, and their county princess was a jade bottle!
âYes, County Princess, I will have them withdraw.â
Unfortunately, it was too late. Jiang Hewen had already discovered their existence. Jiang Hewen was a smart person. After a little thought, he understood the origins of these people. Contrary to what Li Zhong thought, Jiang Hewen was smart and conceited. He thought that Li Su sent these people to check on his situation.
Jiang Hewen was very confident in himself. Since childhood, because of his handsome appearance, he had always been invincible among women. Mrs. Li grew up at the border. At the border were all warriors. She would have never seen such a talented and personable person! She must be deeply in love with him!
He had been to the Generalâs Mansion several times to deliver things during the past 3 years of Mrs. Liâs filial piety. Although he had only seen Mrs. Li twice, he could feel that every time he went to deliver things, someone was watching him secretly. Apart from Li, there was no one else.
Mrs. Liâs inability to let him go like this showed that what she did was only out of anger at the time. Now that her anger was gone, she regretted her actions but she didnât know what to do now.
Jiang Hewen was a little proud of being unforgettable to a woman. It was a pity that Ruxue died, so he couldnât really like Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li was just a ladder for him to climb up! Mrs. Li couldnât blame him. She owed him this!
Of course, these were all things for the future. For now, he was still thinking on how to salvage things with Mrs. Li.
If he wanted to reconcile with Mrs. Li, he had to get close to her first. If he stayed in Songyuan County all the time, how could he get close to Mrs. Li? He had to go back to the capital first.
âDonât you have to go to the government office?â Mrs. Jiang-Wang asked when she saw Jiang Wande.
Jiang Wande laughed at himself. He was now just a 6th grade official. What else was there to do? âItâs okay. You can rest. Iâll make arrangements.â
âMaster, I miss He Wen. I want to go to Songyuan County to accompany him.â On the one hand, Mrs. JIang-Wang missed her son, but on the other hand, she was a little scared.
Jiang Wande held her hand gently. âReturn to Songyuan County? Do you feel relieved leaving me alone? If you leave, I will accept seven or eight concubines to make you jealous.â
Mrs. Jiang-Wang rolled her eyes at him. âYou dare!â
âAs long as youâre here, I donât dare. Mother Yun, stay by my side and donât go anywhere, okay? When the children are older, they will have their own lives. We can only rely on the two of us for a lifetime.â Jiang Wande patted Mrs. Jiang-Wang on the shoulder. While he held her in his arms, he was wondering if he should bring Hewen back. That child was not bad by nature. If no one taught him well, it wouldnât be good if he learned bad things from others.
