Side Story 2: the chaotic Jiang family
“Where are they? where was he? all of you, get out here!”
In the Jiang family’s old house, there was the sound of things being smashed, accompanied by the noise.
“What’s the commotion outside?”
bai xue had insomnia, so she couldn’t fall asleep at all after lying down. she was annoyed by the noise, so she put on her coat and came out of the room, only to see jin mountain, who was also woken up by the noise.
Since the day of the banquet at Yanyun Manor, Bai Xue had moved out of Jiang Xun’s courtyard and no longer lived together. Now, only she and Jin Hezi, who had been by her side and taking care of her, lived in this courtyard.
The noise was coming from the front yard.
This was not the first time.
after the jiang family’s power was gradually transferred to the hands of the younger generation, such a thing happened every two or three days.
it was mainly the jiang family’s eldest branch that was causing a ruckus.
“it seems to be the first madam. old madam, do you want to go and take a look?” it was always so noisy, jin hezi was already used to it.
She was afraid that white snow would be woken up, so she got up to check.
After all, taking care of Snow White was her job.
White snow was very Haggard, and her entire body was so thin that she looked like a skeleton. She did not look like a noble lady at all. She rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on,’it’s her again, there’s no end to this! was no one going to do something about it? where’s the old master? Where’s Jiang Zuo? where are the others?”
“the first few times eldest furen made a fuss, old master went to take care of it. now that it has not stopped for such a long time, one fear that old master is too tired to care. as for the first master, he’s been here with the first madam to make a scene, so he can’t care.”
speaking of this, jin hezi was a little impressed by kang zuo.
He was in a wheelchair, yet he still wanted to make a scene. He was not afraid that he would not be able to avoid the old man’s walking stick when it was raised.
“as for the others …”
“They’ve all gone to attend fifth Lord’s engagement party and haven’t returned yet,” Gold Mountain said hesitantly.
then, jin hezi saw white snow’s body sway a little, and her already pale face turned even paler.
it’s, it’s already this late. The banquet has already ended. I think they’re all wild and don’t want this family anymore!
It’s good that you understand. Why do you have to say it out loud?
during this period of time, the jiang family had been in a mess. not to mention the younger generation, even the third and fourth masters didn’t return to the old mansion often.
The Jiang family had already fallen apart.
of course, jin hezi would not say this in front of white snow.
Looking at white snow, Jin Hezi asked, “Old Madam, is it really okay for you to not attend fifth Lord’s engagement party?”
Her words hit white Snow’s sore spot, and she angrily said, “What do you mean go! no one welcomed me, so why would i go and become a joke? even the old master, his biological father, isn’t going, so why should i go?”
“i’m sorry, old madam. i misspoke.”
If you knew this would happen, why did you do it? what’s the use of regretting now? after doing so many hurtful things, he didn’t even have the face to ask for forgiveness.
White snow glared at him with her golden eyes before returning to her room and slamming the door shut.
Gold Mountain didn’t pay any more attention to the noise outside, and also turned around to return to the house.
even the main family didn’t care, so why would she, a paid helper, care so much?
In another courtyard, Jiang Zhi was also extremely annoyed by the ruckus.
“old master, zhenzhen doesn’t care about first madam’s trouble?” the butler asked carefully.
“care? How? She doesn’t even care about her own son and daughter, so why should I? Now, even Jiang Yun dares to give me attitude. Who would still listen to me?”
the butler did not dare to speak.
He was afraid of being blamed.
speaking of which, the reason why eldest master and eldest madam had started fighting was because of a phone call from eldest miss, who had been sent abroad by fifth master. otherwise, eldest master and eldest madam would not have dared to go out for fear of fifth master’s revenge. they did not even step out of the door, so how would they know what was going on outside?
however, with the young lady’s actions, even if lord fifth didn’t do anything, the other members of the jiang family would probably try to stop her from returning to the country.
The young miss was really asking for trouble.
she probably wouldn’t have the chance to return to china in this lifetime.
“go and tell her that if she continues to make a scene, i’ll directly throw her eldest branch out of the mansion and let them make a scene on the streets!”
the butler acknowledged but did not leave immediately.
” old master, zhenzhen is at fifth master’s engagement party, ” he said doubtfully. ” if you and old madam aren’t present, you can use the excuse that you’re not feeling well and can’t go out. if you don’t even prepare a congratulatory gift, people will gossip about it. do you really not need to prepare a gift? if you want to prepare a gift, there is still time to prepare it. ”
“what gift?”
The Butler was shocked.
“the jiang family has already been torn apart by him, and he still wants a congratulatory gift? He doesn’t treat himself as the son of the Jiang family, so do I have to rush to curry favor with him? he’s just an ingrate. if i didn’t value him and train him at such a young age, would he be where he is today?”
The Butler didn’t dare to answer.
he knew very well that even without the old master’s nurturing, the fifth lord could still grow up to be very outstanding. after all, the old master had noticed the fifth lord and was willing to nurture him as his successor because of his outstanding performance.
If fifth Lord was here, the Jiang family would probably be the most powerful family in the capital by now. The Jiang family wasn’t even considered a first-class family in the capital, but a second-class one.
Why?
“Old, old master, why don’t you call third young master back? i overheard second master and third young master quarreling that day and got some news.”
“what news? jiang yu isn’t a good person either!”
the butler didn’t want to argue with him about whether jiang yu was good or bad. if the main family developed well, people like them would have better lives too. he wished for the jiang family to do well.
without master five, master didn’t care about business, second master wasn’t cut out for business, he couldn’t count on the eldest and second miss, and third miss hadn’t grown up yet, so there was only third master left.
” i heard second master and third young master arguing about whether third young master was related to green city’s dark cloud. they asked if third young master was the mysterious third young master behind dark cloud, and third young master didn’t deny it. ”
jiang yao directly stood up from the sofa, ” “what did you just say? qingcheng?”
he had such a big reaction. he was excited and shocked.
As the previous head of the Jiang family, after Jiang che returned the power to him, Jiang Qi had the most say in the Jiang family. Even though the Jiang family didn’t have much business dealings with Qing city, he was clear about the situation in Qing city.
qingcheng was very chaotic, with seven parties in power, and feng xiao was one of them. It was said that the person in charge of clear sky was a mysterious man known as “third young master,” and no one had seen his true face.
now that green city had lost its original power, it was ruled by six parties, and feng xiao’s status in green city was even higher than before.
as far as he knew, chen xiao had only appeared in qingcheng about ten years ago.
How old was Jiang Yu ten years ago?
fourteen? Fifteen? Or sixteen?
What a University professor who only focuses on academics! The Jiang family’s most indifferent person to fame and fortune!
“Yes, Qingcheng. second master asked third young master if he was the same third young master from shang xiao, and third young master did not deny it. Since then, second master has been locked up in his room, so it should be true.”
“Old master, do you want to invite third young master back?”
“Please? he would come back if she invited him? That day at the banquet at Yanyun Manor, he didn’t give me any face at all. He even said that he didn’t rely on the Jiang family for a living. The person behind the Green City’s Chen Xiao really doesn’t need to rely on the Jiang family for a living!”
he was able to get to where he is today, step by step, in a place like Qingcheng. He’s not necessarily a good person. I hope he’s like that ingrate, Lao Wu, who turned around and attacked the Jiang family before he invited the person back!
The Butler was silent.
he sighed in his heart.
how could he not know about this? however, he still had a little hope.
forget it. At most, he would resign and go home to retire. He was not young anymore anyway.
” i’ll go send first madam off. it’s getting late. old master, you should rest early. ”
after the housekeeper left, jiang xun didn’t go back to his room immediately. instead, he sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time. he seemed to have aged.
