Chapter 153 Jiang Li intends to promote Liang
Liang knew very well what kind of personalities the two children raised by Da had. In the past, the three of them, mother and son, would have made trouble in their own house, but now they had even gone out to embarrass themselves.
Cheng Kang angrily pointed at Heng Ge'er and said, "Mom, it was him. He kicked me in the stomach. It hurts so much~ wuwuwu——"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Da pointed at Jiang Li angrily and said, "Well, I never thought this was your family's way of entertaining guests. If anything happens to my Kang'er, my master will definitely not forgive you."
"Da!" Liang shouted angrily.
Seeing that Liang didn't even protect her own child, Da was furious. "Madam, Kang'er is also your child. Although he didn't come out of your womb, he still calls you mother. Now that our child has been bullied by outsiders, shouldn't you, as a mother, stand up for your child?"
Liang was furious at Da's moral theory. Before she could say anything, Que Ge'er spoke first, "It was clearly him who started it. He insulted my brother with rude words, and he was the one who wanted to fight my brother."
Heng Ge'er remained silent. At times like this, his mother was there, and he would just stand there obediently unless the adults asked him any questions.
Jing Ge'er nodded: "That's right."
When Mrs. Da heard that the children across the street were pointing all their accusations at her son, she was completely unhappy: "Nonsense!"
"Brother Que, how can you speak to outsiders? Brother Kang is your cousin after all."
Liang was so infuriated by Da's shamelessness that she rolled her eyes. "Da, you were so disrespectful in your noble family today. As the mistress of the household, I wanted to give you enough face. Now, you're even trying to bring yourself up with the noble family's son. Do you think I, Liang, don't have a temper?"
Que Ge'er then said, "I have nothing to do with him. Don't try to claim any relationship with me. Heng Ge'er, Jing Ge'er, and An Ge'er are my brothers."
When Jiang Li heard this, she raised the corner of her mouth with relief, thinking that this child was not raised in vain.
Da's face turned pale with anger, and she looked at Jiang Li with a hissing sound: "Noble? How can a peasant working in the fields be considered a noble?"
"How dare you!" Yuan Niang shouted angrily, "Who gave you the audacity to insult our island master?"
Island owner?!
Da's breath, which was stuck in his throat, suddenly choked.
It turns out that the island owner that the master praised many times and admired in his heart was actually Jiang?
How is it possible? She is just an ordinary woman. How can she have the ability to dominate an island!
Da has always been quick-witted, but now he secretly hated his own reckless behavior and was thinking quickly of ways to make amends.
Suddenly, Kang Ge'er in front of him covered his abdomen and wailed, "Mom, my stomach hurts so much——"
The words of her beloved son once again made the devoted Da Madam lose her mind. Although she was afraid in her heart, she said indignantly, "Madam Li, no matter what the truth is, my Kang'er was injured by your child. You must give us an explanation for what happened today."
Liang was about to speak out again to stop Da's stupidity, but Jiang Li smiled faintly, held Liang's hand, and silently comforted her.
Then he asked slowly, "Explanation? Today, for the sake of Deputy General Cheng and Madam Liang, I've given you the dignity of a concubine. Why do you think you can act arrogantly in front of me?"
"Don't even mention whether I'll give you a concubine to explain today's incident. I'll ask Deputy General Cheng later. But my Changsheng Island seems easy to bully. Any cat or dog can enter my territory. I also want to ask Deputy General Cheng how he dared to let a concubine flaunt outside."
Liang was listening and felt so ashamed that she couldn't even raise her head in front of Jiang Li. She hated Da even more in her heart.
"You, what right do you have to say that about our Cheng Mansion? Even if you are the owner of this island, do you really think that this lady can come here?"
"Madam?" Jiang Li laughed: "I said the Cheng Mansion needs to be tidied up."
"Somebody come!"
Soon, Ming Ye came over with two guards: "Your subordinate is here."
"Immediately go to Yanzhou City and report today's events to Deputy General Cheng."
"Yes!"
"There's more!" Jiang Li thought of something and held Liang's hand a little tighter. He turned around and met Liang's ashamed look, and his expression eased a little.
"If you want to pass on my words again, then tell me that Madam Liang and I hit it off right away. We're very compatible. Today, Madam Liang and I have become sworn sisters, and from now on, we'll call each other sisters. If my sworn sister, as the head of the Cheng family, is constantly being bullied by a concubine, how am I supposed to cope?"
"Yes!"
Liang was stunned when she heard this, and was shocked.
She never expected that Lady Li would actually stand up for her. For a moment, Liang seemed to see her deceased sister. When her sister was still alive, her mother-in-law and Lady Da would still restrain themselves.
Ever since her sister got into trouble, Mrs. Da, relying on the support of her mother-in-law, has become increasingly disregardful of her as the eldest lady.
If it weren't for her two children, Liang Shi wouldn't want to live such a humiliating life for even a single day. Of course, Liang Shi probably guessed that Jiang Li was protecting her so much because of Que Ge'er.
Thinking of this, Liang's eyes couldn't help but feel warm again.
Da's eyes widened in disbelief. She looked angrily at Liang, then at Jiang Li: "Madam Li, you really are so arrogant."
Before Da could finish her words, Jiang Li interrupted her coldly: "Whether it's grand or not depends on who you are dealing with."
Jiang Li's cold words inexplicably made Da shudder in her heart.
Jiang Li finished speaking, turned back and held Liang's hand: "Sister, don't blame me for being abrupt."
Liang was flattered: "How could it be? It is my honor to be able to become sworn sisters with Lady Li."
"Today's incident happened suddenly. I think my sister needs to go back to the mansion to deal with important matters. How about I send someone to take you and the child back to the city?"
"it is good."
After this incident, Liang Shi also wanted to return to the city as soon as possible. In the past, she had been able to endure it again and again, ultimately because of the pressure from her mother-in-law. Now that the world was in chaos and the master was busy with official duties, she didn't want to distract him from the inner affairs.
What respect for elders and filial piety? Liang had torn her face off today. Born into a military family, she endured humiliation for the sake of her two in-laws, but she didn't expect to embolden some people.
Da naturally saw the viciousness in Liang's face, but she was not afraid at all.
Although she was a concubine, she had been raised by her aunt since she was a child, and she and the master had been childhood sweethearts. For so many years, Liang had always been suppressed by her. What was the Liang family? What was Changsheng Island? Behind closed doors, everything in their family was decided by her aunt.
She didn't think that just because she became a sister to a scoundrel, she could turn the tables in the mansion. She would definitely ask her aunt to stand up for her and her son after Kang'er suffered such an injustice today!
