Chapter 819 Adding Obstacles
In early August, Mrs. Liao came to the Anjun Prince's Mansion as a guest. Xia Zihan learned from her that Mrs. Liao had sent someone to send Zhu Qingtong to Jiangning City at the end of July.
Zeng Jing gave birth to a baby in August, and Mrs. Liao asked Zhu Qingtong to take care of her, her three children, and Liao Jingtang's daily life.
"Hey, if Zhu Qingtong doesn't go, she won't worry about her cousin, his wife, and their three great-grandchildren. Tell me, when did she really care about living the life of her cousin's family? If she really cares about it, in the past few years, she can earn a penny. He refused to take me there, and he looked down upon the boss and his wife and refused to allow them to help my cousin.”
When Mrs. Liao mentioned this, she felt sorry for Zeng Jing and his wife, but the other party was her mother-in-law, so she couldn't go too far.
Mrs. Zhuo hummed and said, "Your mother-in-law, she has been holding her breath in her heart."
Without Zeng Jing's licking and plugging, Mrs. Liao would not be able to close her eyes even if she died.
Xia Zihan also looked down upon Mrs. Liao.
If she has any issues with her own grandson, she can hold grudges for the rest of her life.
Back then, when Zeng Jing married into the Liao family, she never did anything to disgrace the Liao family. She even fainted from exhaustion while serving Mrs. Liao. Now, she has given birth to two more grandsons to the Liao family, and now she is about to give birth to a third one.
If she said she was sorry, it was because the Liao family was sorry for her. She had never been sorry to anyone in the Liao family.
Besides, the reason why there is any hatred between Zeng Jing and Mrs. Liao is that Zeng Jing did not go as she wanted in the beginning, and did not let the Liao family divorce her, and did not make room for Liao Jingtang to marry into a higher family. This made Mrs. Liao miss her.
Mrs. Liao kept an eye on Zeng Jing, always going against her and causing trouble for her. This petty-minded person was nothing like the old Mrs. Liao who was broad-minded.
This made Zhuo and Xia Zihan look down on her.
"By the way, you are right. My old lady has been thinking about it for the past few years. She has been thinking about the fact that my cousin abandoned his family for his wife." Mrs. Liao slapped her thigh and said in a loud voice. A few points higher.
Xia Zihan sighed and said, "It's better to hide cousin Jing's matter from my grandmother first, and don't tell her old man. She has just recovered recently, so she can't be irritated anymore."
Mrs. Liao hurriedly promised, "If you don't tell me, I won't dare to go to Chu's house to talk to her about this matter."
Mrs. Chu's body bones have declined drastically in the past two years, and everyone can see it. I'm afraid it's only been less than two years, and no one will be stupid enough to talk about some gossip in front of her.
"Hey, it's estimated that my cousin will arrive in Jiangning City in three or four days." Mrs. Liao was a little worried about Zeng Jing, "She's about to give birth. It's better not to be irritated when she sees her cousin."
Xia Zihan thought about her premature birth due to stimulation.
In the evening, Xia Zihan wrote a letter and invited a flying pigeon to come down. He rolled the letter into a small roll, tied it to the flying pigeon's leg, and let the flying pigeon fly to Jiangning City.
If you take a carriage, Jiangning City is about ten days' journey from the capital, but if you fly a pigeon, it takes one day and one night.
When Zeng Jing received Xia Zihan's flying pigeon message, Zhu Qingtong had not yet arrived in Jiangning City.
She opened the letter, took a look at it, and gave it to Liao Jingtang, who was taking care of her carefully behind her. "It's cousin Chu Yu, look."
When Liao Jingtang opened it, his face immediately turned as dark as ink, and there was a monstrous anger hidden in his eyes.
The letter not only said that Zhu Qingtong was here, but also bluntly stated that Zhu Qingtong had bad intentions and asked Zeng Jing to be wary of her. This was not a good intention. Xia Zihan didn't need to explain clearly. Both Liao Jingtang and Zeng Jing could guess what Zhu Qingtong's intention and purpose was.
"Jing'er, don't worry, I won't let her live in our house." Worried that this incident would affect his wife's mood and hurt herself and the child in her belly, Liao Jingtang tried to comfort her with a gentle voice.
"But she was called here by her grandmother after all. Wouldn't it be bad if we just let her live outside alone?"
Zeng Jing had no problem letting Zhu Qingtong live outside. She couldn't bear it. For a widow who coveted her husband, it was best to stay as far away as possible.
However, she was a little worried that Mrs. Liao would be mad to death if Mrs. Liao's actions were known to her.
Liao Jingtang was not worried. He snorted coldly and said with a bad look, "It would be bad if she lives at home."
A young widow who had just finished mourning her husband came to live in his house, and there were no elders in the family. It would not be nice to spread this news, and people with loud mouths would also gossip.
It would be better not to let Zhu Qingtong enter his home in the first place.
Liao Jingtang thought for a while and then told a housekeeper, "Go to the east of the city and rent a small yard. After you rent it, clean it up and arrange for your cousin to live in it."
Then, another housekeeper and two servants were sent to greet Zhu Qingtong at the city gate.
"Chu Yu's letter was written two days ago. She said three days, which is tomorrow." Liao Jingtang told the two boys, "You must guard the city gate tomorrow and don't miss your cousin." Whereabouts.”
"I understand, young master." the boy replied.
After giving instructions, Liao Jingtang helped Zeng Jing into the inner room and asked her to sit on a chair. He squatted down in front of her and gently massaged her swollen legs with his hands.
While rubbing it, he said, "I have to take a walk tomorrow. The meat on my legs is stiff."
Zeng Jing stared at him with a tender face, feeling sweet in her heart, but she still said, "Because of me, you haven't entered the Yamen for two days. You'd better go to the Yamen first tomorrow and see if nothing happens." Come back and don’t let people gossip and say you are neglecting your duties.”
"There's nothing going on in the yamen. If anything happens, Capt. Chen will come and tell me." Liao Jingtang was not worried about what happened in the yamen at all.
Jiangning City is very peaceful. It is a well-known civilized city. The leading families in the city are also from scholarly families. There are no local gangsters who bully good people and domineering women. There are not many people who come to file lawsuits. He came here to take office. It's been almost half a year, and I've only taken on three lawsuits. I have enough time to hatch eggs and give birth to babies.
"Just don't let people gossip. I'm worried that I will drag you down." After saying that, Zeng Jing reached out and held one of his hands, saying tenderly, "Husband, thank you!"
She thanked him for his wholeheartedness towards her, thanked him for his integrity, thanked him for his dedication, and thanked him for his gentle treatment.
In short, for Zeng Jing to be able to marry Liao Jingtang in this life, it must be because she burned high incense in her previous life and cultivated too many blessings in her previous life, so that she could meet him in this life.
In the afternoon of the next day, Liao Jingtang's servant and housekeeper met Zhu Qingtong at the city gate, who had arrived as scheduled.
