Chapter 538: The plaque of Jinhua Hall was changed to Wuwei Residence
Kang Ning climbed up from the bed and struggled to run out to catch up with Marquis Yong'an. Jiang Yingxue quickly got up from the ground and went forward to support her.
"Mother! Mother, calm down! Mother, don't get excited, your health is important!" Jiang Yingxue pleaded while crying.
She could still stay in the Marquis' Mansion thanks to her mother. Her father now didn't even look at her and just let her stay here to take care of him. He didn't even bother to tell her to put her under house arrest.
She has no one to rely on but her mother.
She would rather live in the Marquis' Mansion than go back to the Northern Territory. She was afraid that she would die on the way back to the Northern Territory. How could she go back when she didn't even know where her home was?
However, how could Corning remain calm as she watched her dowry and countless boxes being carried out?
No money! No servants!
Now I don’t even have my mother’s home anymore!
What's the point of her living?
She cursed angrily, "Jiang Mingan, you sinister villain! Jiang Mingan, you useless person who can only rely on your daughter!" She threw away Jiang Yingxue who was supporting her and ran towards the pillar under the corridor.
Jiang Yingxue and the maids screamed in fear, and the few people who had not yet left the yard turned their heads to look over.
There was no time to rescue, but...
The "bang" was not as loud as expected. Corning, who wanted to commit suicide by hitting the pillar, seemed to be wrapped up by a magical force. Apart from feeling a little dizzy and falling to the ground, there was no sign of injury.
Not a drop of blood was shed, and of course there were no wounds.
Princess Cheng, who was already reluctant to leave, was walking at the end and closest to Kang Ning. She turned around and looked, and suddenly remembered what the Taoist had said.
You won’t die by hanging yourself or hitting your head against the wall, and you won’t die until your oil runs out and the lamp dies.
"You idiot, you still have no intention of repenting even in this situation. Your father and I have wasted our efforts. Now that you have made such a fuss... no one will come to see you again!"
Princess Cheng was furious and crying, but she reached out and slapped her ignorant daughter. Finally, she was pulled up by Prince Cheng and dragged out.
The coldness in the son-in-law's eyes was about to condense into a sword. If the old woman was allowed to stay here, Kang Ning would only think that he still had someone to rely on, and he would cry, make a fuss, or even threaten to commit suicide to force them to compromise.
The punishment has been decided. How can we understand that the situation is hopeless without suffering some pain?
Marquis Yong'an stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched everyone go out. He looked coldly at the person who was still sitting on the corridor and cursing like a shrew.
In the past, when I heard about “refusing to admit mistakes”, I thought it was just stubbornness and obstinacy, but now it seems that there are really people who would rather die than admit that they are wrong.
The energy of cursing the heavens, the earth, him, and Tang'er...
He did not say anything else to deliberately provoke others, and signaled the guards to close the gate of Jinhua Hall.
He took down the plaque of Jinhua Hall and hung up the wooden sign of "Wuweiju" that was nailed to the dilapidated courtyard on the day Yuntang just returned home.
This wooden sign with the words "Wuwei Ju" was given to him by Yun Xuanying after he came over today, asking him to replace the original "Jinhua Tang".
As a place of confinement, there is no longer a mistress or a princess here, and it is no longer worthy of the name "Jinhua".
The originally spacious and magnificent courtyard gate once had two gatekeepers, but now...
The courtyard gate was half sealed, leaving only half of the door open and closed. From now on, food or water would only be delivered to the door.
People outside can't go in, and people inside can't come out.
This is called confinement.
Corning left all the things in the room where she lived untouched. All the silver and money were taken away, but the ornaments and jewelry were still there. However, all the money, silver, jewelry and other ornaments in the warehouse were taken away.
Jiang Yingxue and her two servants moved in with Xue Xinyuan's luggage.
Except for the silver and money, all the books, pens, ink, daily necessities and even the piano that she used on a daily basis were taken in by her.
In addition, all the servants and storehouses of Xuexinyuan were cleared out, and the plaque of Xuexinyuan was taken down, leaving it as an idle courtyard to be dealt with later.
There was also Yuntang’s later courtyard, Tangfengyuan. Because Yuntang moved away, the imperially bestowed courtyard plaque was also taken to the Princess Huguo’s Mansion.
Therefore, the yard where Yuntang stayed in the Marquis' Mansion had actually been empty for a long time and became an idle yard.
Originally, because Yuntang returned to his ancestral home, the family should have been in harmony. Because Yuntang had so many powerful backers, the Marquis' Mansion would also have the prospect of benefiting from it.
However, before the New Year, there were frequent scandals such as discord between the real and fake daughters, discord between biological mother and daughter, and marriage substitution and cancellation of engagements.
We finally managed to hold a family dinner for the Lantern Festival, but it ended up being a big mess because of the old lady's harsh behavior.
Afterwards, in order to prevent the troublemaker from causing trouble for his daughter, Marquis Yong'an simply wrote a letter of severance, leaving no face for his mother.
Since then, their mother-son relationship has been at a stalemate, and neither of them is willing to give in.
Although he helped his daughter organize the grand banquet smoothly this month, his daughter also gave the Marquis's Mansion 300,000 taels of capital for purchasing property.
Just when he was happy and felt that there was light in his life, the wicked woman Corning reached a new level of evil again and was willing to sacrifice human lives in order to kill her own daughter.
Finally, she was willing to tell the truth about abandoning Tang'er, but she didn't expect that it would only expose her mean and heartless nature once again.
In comparison, what Jiang Yingxue, the adopted daughter, did was nothing.
But he had to send people to the northern border to investigate the couple who chopped wood that year. If they were still alive, they would know Jiang Yingxue's true birth date.
Now Jiang Yingxue still has Yuntang's birth date and time, which also causes her heart blood to have a strengthening effect on the curse.
This is also part of the causal relationship.
I'm afraid Kang Ning herself doesn't know when the child she took away on a whim was born. Just now she only said that the child had just been released from confinement.
Outside the courtyard, Princess Cheng saw that the plaque of Jinhua Hall had been changed to Wuwei Ju, and she was so sad that she collapsed, and went forward to fight with Marquis Yong'an.
"Even if she did something wrong, you are too cruel!"
"How can you hang up such a shabby sign? You've severed all ties with her, and what about the children? How can you let Ting'er, Xuan'er, Lang'er and the others face it?"
The Marquis of Yong'an allowed his mother-in-law to beat him, but when he heard these words, his eyes reddened and his voice was deep.
"On the day Tang'er returned home last year, she was placed in a run-down courtyard with only three rooms. There was no furniture or anything else. The maidservants were disrespectful to her."
"What she nailed onto the half-moon door with her own hands was this piece of 'Wuweiju'. If Xue'er hadn't used the old thing to intimidate Tang'er, there wouldn't have been any counterattack from Tang'er at that time."
"I got the news and rushed back, begging Tang'er to move to the big courtyard next door. Later, the emperor bestowed a plaque on the courtyard, and the name 'Wuweiju' was finally put away."
"Now that the evil woman can still get the name of 'Wuweiju' from Tang'er, she should be happy."
Princess Cheng stopped beating him, covered her face and started crying, saying "What a sin... retribution..."
Prince Cheng felt ashamed and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's do this. When we get back, we will re-count and re-register her dowry and divide it into four parts, giving them to Ting'er, Xuan'er, Lang'er, and Tang'er."
