Chapter 365 Family Temple
Looking at the crazy Wang, everyone was shocked. She actually did all these things.
"Third brother!"
At this time, Tanchun suddenly knelt down and said, "Third brother, please spare mother's life. She was wrong. She will never do that again!"
Seeing that Jia Cong did not respond, Tanchun kowtowed to Baochai and Daiyu again and said, "My two sisters, this is mother's fault. Please spare her life for the sake of our past friendship!"
Baochai looked stunned. Her own aunt wanted to harm her like this? How pitiful, sad, and lamentable!
Daiyu stared blankly ahead, her eyes dull. Her mother passed away at a young age, a pain she could not get rid of. However, she never expected that this was all caused by her aunt...
Jia Cong looked at Wang who had fallen into madness, stood up, walked straight forward to grab Baochai and Daiyu, and then walked outside.
"Third sister, get up!" When they were about to go out, Jia Cong said lightly, "Old lady, let's build a family temple!"
Afterwards, Jia Cong was too lazy to pay attention to the mess and directly left the room with Baochai and Daiyu.
In the peach forest, Jia Cong hugged the crying Daiyu and the silent Baochai. The three of them were silent, and no one spoke! After a long while, Jia Cong wiped Daiyu's tears and said, "Sister, don't be sad. In fact, I didn't want to reveal this matter, or at least I should have kept it from you, but you are my aunt's daughter, so you have the right to know."
There is no need to doubt Daiyu's intelligence. Jia Cong even suspects that Daiyu already has other guesses in her mind. Instead of letting her keep thinking about it, it is better to give her an answer directly, so that she won't have to keep this matter in her heart.
"Besides, sometimes death is easier, and living is a torment! It's not difficult to kill that evil woman, but it would be too easy for her. I will let her watch me marry you, and let her watch my aunt's daughter be happy. This is the greatest punishment for her."
"After we go back, I think the old lady will know what to do. A family temple is where she will be confined for the rest of her life. In this small place , letting her regret for her previous mistakes is the greatest torture for her!"
"Sister, there is no need to grieve. What happened back then is in the past. I have been investigating because I don't want my mother-in-law to be upset. Now that the truth has been revealed, after we get married, we will go to Jiangnan together to burn incense for my mother-in-law."
"My sister was protected by my uncle and aunt before, but from now on, I will protect you for the rest of your life."
Daiyu burst into tears even more when she heard this, and Baochai beside her also shed tears silently!
…
The trip to Qingxu Temple finally came to an end. I had originally planned to have fun for the whole day, but suddenly something like this happened. How could I still have the heart to play? Therefore, not long after, Yuanyang came over and said that the old lady asked everyone to prepare to return home.
The grand procession set off, as if no different from when they came, yet as if something had changed.
After returning, Jia Cong took Daiyu, Aunt Xue, Baochai and Baoqin directly back to the East Palace. As for Wang's matter, it had come to this point and it also involved Jia Min's life and death. It was believed that the old lady would not show mercy.
"It's getting late today, so Aunt and Sister Bao should rest in the house and go back in two days." Letting the two of them stay would give them peace of mind.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you for one night!"
"Aunt, we are all family. Even if the West Mansion is inconvenient, how could the East Mansion be inconvenient?" Jia Cong said with a smile, "Aunt, go and have a rest first. I will host a banquet later. We can have a good meal and don't need to worry about trivial matters."
"Sister Lin, I have sent a message to my uncle. I will send you back tomorrow."
Daiyu also nodded slightly. She was feeling sad and uneasy, so naturally she didn't want to go back.
Jia Cong returned to the East Palace, and Yuanyang, Youshi, Keqing and Xiao Xichun naturally followed him back. Compared with the calmness of the East Palace, the atmosphere in the West Palace was somewhat solemn and chaotic.
Everyone gathered in the old lady's room, and Mrs. Xing, who stayed at home, also rushed over. Although she didn't know what happened, she could guess from listening to everyone's words that it must be the smart sister-in-law who did something again, and it was obviously a big deal.
Otherwise, how could Jia Zheng be so angry that he wanted to write a divorce letter? Moreover, since they went together, they would naturally come back together. Why didn't the people from the East Palace come over, but went straight back to the palace?
Everyone present was sitting upright, except Tanchun, who was still kneeling on the ground and crying.
After a long silence, the old lady turned to an old lady beside her and said, "Old sister, you can handle this matter!"
This old nanny was sent by the Shi family. The trust in her was three times greater than that of Lai Mama. Moreover, it was not appropriate to let Wang Xifeng handle this matter. The relationship between Wang Xifeng and Wang Shi was secondary. It was not reasonable to let the younger generation arrange for the elders.
The old nanny nodded slightly. She had lived in a wealthy family all her life and had seen such things before.
"I remember that there was a row of small courtyards on the north side of the back building, against the west wall. The southernmost courtyard was cleaned up and the surrounding walls were built up, leaving only a small gate. Then two old maids were left in the courtyard to take care of it, and no one else was needed." Grandmother Jia spoke slowly.
After hesitating for a moment, Grandmother Jia said again, "Baoyu can visit once a month, but the rest of you are not allowed to come in or out without my permission!"
"Grandma, I am willing to accompany you and take care of you!" Tanchun kowtowed in tears.
Grandmother Jia sighed, "I know that Tan'er is a filial daughter, but now that the Second Madam has done something wrong, she should be punished. Otherwise, won't there be no rules in the mansion in the future? However, since you asked for it, you should go with Baoyu every month when he goes to visit."
Upon hearing this, Tanchun began to cry and kowtow to Lady Jia!
Did Tanchun have feelings for Wang? Of course she did. In this era, the stepmother was the biological mother. As a concubine's daughter, she had to be close to Wang no matter from the legal point of view or from any other aspect. In addition, Tanchun also felt miserable about her future life. With such a mother who made a big mistake, what hope could she have for a future marriage?
Not to mention marrying into a good family, being able to get married successfully is a luxury!
So, how could Tanchun not be sad at this moment!
