Chapter 139: For the sake of my wife’s reputation
Jiang's eyes fixed on Aunt Du, and she took a step forward: "How do you know?"
"The person sent out by the servant earlier saw the master going to the Cheng family and followed him. He saw with his own eyes that the master recognized the eldest lady at the Cheng family!"
Aunt Du's gasping voice was still echoing, but Mrs. Jiang suddenly took two steps back: "Did he admit it? Did he see it with his own eyes?"
"I don't dare to talk nonsense. The people sent out will follow the master and the others all the way back!"
Jiang felt as if a large piece of brick had suddenly been stuffed into her throat, making it extremely difficult to swallow.
During the waiting time - or the longer time counting forward, Jiang didn't think that Lu Jia would suddenly come to her door one day. She also thought about what she should do at such a moment?
But he didn't expect that the real situation was that Lu Jia not only appeared suddenly, but also acted so quickly. In his absence, the father and daughter met first, and then met at the Cheng family where they had broken off their relationship for many years. noodle!
She didn't care that the dead girl was still alive. What he cared about was, what did the father and daughter say when they met? !
"You mean, the master is back?"
"I'm back, I'm back early! And as soon as I came back, Mr. Yang hurriedly sent Su Zhixiao to the study!"
"Mrs."
As soon as Grandma Du's voice fell, Long Xiang came in again, her expression even more frightened than that of Grandma Du: "The master has sent Su Zhixiao and his wife to lead people to the Cheng Mansion to tell them about the missing eldest lady. Back, the Cheng family found her”
Jiang's clenched hands snapped, and two nails that looked like onions were broken.
It turns out that the quick recognition of father and daughter in the Cheng family was not the most sudden thing. It only took half a day, and she was about to return home!
Lu Jie didn't even discuss it with him, he just made the decision on his own to take the person back!
"What else!" she asked.
Lunxiang opened her mouth, pinched her palms several times and said, "It was very smooth for Su Zhixiao to go to the Cheng Mansion to pick up people. Two quarters of an hour ago, Cheng Yushi and the eldest son of the Cheng family had accompanied the eldest lady on the soft shuttle sent by the Lu family. The sedan is back home!”
"..."
Jiang didn't know what to say anymore.
One after another, one after another, one after another, there is no room for her to intervene?
Where is the room for her to say no? !
Just two hours ago, she had believed with full confidence that Lu Jia would never survive. No matter how, Guo Lu's people would definitely let her die in Shawan, and they would also kill the Xie family. And press him to death to eliminate her future troubles forever!
"Madam, the master is here."
While the energy and blood in Jiang's body were fluctuating, another little maid came to report.
Just as Jiang gritted his teeth and looked intently, Lu Jie, who was still wearing a red official uniform, had already walked in.
"Mrs."
Jiang couldn't help but take two steps back. She didn't stop until Lu Jie stopped in front of her.
"Why is the master back now?" She pinched her palms to keep calm and met Lu Jie's gaze.
"There is something important in the house today, so I came here to discuss it with Madam. Madam is very busy right now?" Lu Jie glanced at the mother-in-law and maid in the room.
"I'm not busy. Master, tell me if you have anything to say." She raised her eyes and said.
It was such a "negotiation", everything was done, and I only came to inform you at the end. Is this a negotiation? !
"It's a great joy." Lu Jie said, "Sister Jia's not dead, she's back! Her uncle found her in Tanzhou Mansion. It turns out that she didn't die that year, but was adopted. Now she is her adoptive mother Do you think it's a good thing to take him back to the capital to find his relatives?" "Really?" Ms. Jiang twitched her lips, "More than ten years have passed, and she can still come back with all her hair and tail. It's really strange.
"I just don't know how the master can be sure that the woman found by the Cheng family is Sister Jia'er? The Cheng family and the master have been at odds for many years, and suddenly they claim to have found the eldest daughter of the Lu family. Isn't there a fraud in this?"< br>
"Madam, I thought the same thing. I was also afraid of some scam, so I ran over when I heard the news. But as soon as I saw that girl, I knew I couldn't be wrong."
Lu Jie paused for a moment when he said this, "Of course, after all, living outside for eleven years is definitely not comparable to the pampering I once had.
"She was raised by a merchant family, and most of the rules she learned back then have fallen behind. If outsiders knew about this, wouldn't it be ridiculous?
"As a stepmother, my wife, if I don't take her back to my house immediately after learning the news, shouldn't outsiders criticize my wife's kindness?
"So for the sake of Madam's reputation, I immediately sent Su Zhixiao to bring her back to the house. Madam shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Jiang's nails were already dug into his flesh.
For her reputation? !
Didn't he want to take it back?
She said in a cold voice: "They are the master's own flesh and blood, how can I object? What's more, the master is so considerate, so I have no reason to stop him.
"In order to live up to the master's thoughtfulness, why don't I go to the Cheng Mansion in person to pick her back up?"
"That's not necessary," Lu Jie seemed not to understand what she meant at all, "His uncle and cousin will send him back in person.
"But as your stepmother, if you don't do anything at all, you won't be able to show your love. Why don't you ask me to ask someone to clean out the Yixia Garden where she used to live, so that she can have a place to settle down when she comes back?" , let him be grateful to you for being such a virtuous mother.”
Jiang's throat went down and he swallowed again and again.
Otherwise, she would be completely unable to suppress the anger in her heart!
Not only did he kill her first and tell her later, but he also treated her like a mother-in-law and ordered himself to clean up the house of that dead girl?
She is Mrs. Lu, whom his matchmaker is marrying!
"Master, the eldest lady has arrived at the door of the house! Mr. Yang sent his servant in to deliver the message."
Before Jiang could say anything, the sound of announcement had already entered the room.
Lu Jie said: "Mrs. Lao takes care of everything.
"By the way, after Madam has finished your instructions, please take Sister Ying to the front yard. Everyone outside already knows that our missing eldest daughter has returned home. There are so many people and so many eyes. I'll just break the bones and connect them." Jin, even if there are some mistakes, he is also his biological father, so he won’t say anything about me.
"But I don't know how many eyes are watching Madam's actions. If Madam and Sister Ying are absent at such an important moment, I'm afraid someone will be blamed."
Ms. Jiang was so angry that she turned blue. He emphasized her identity as stepmother in his words. Was he showing consideration for her difficulties, or was he putting shackles on her? !
"Mrs..."
Luo Xiang saw that Lu Jie had already stepped out of the door first, and stepped forward to remind him in embarrassment. "People are already here, what should we do now?"
Jiang took a deep breath: "Go to Yixia Courtyard!"
