C1 Jiang Family Ancestral Hall

The storm mixed with the dark clouds, causing the sky to darken after noon. This kind of weather was supposed to be a good day for sleeping, but the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall was filled with people.

Outside the ancestral hall stood two rows of servants of the Jiang Family wearing black clothes and holding umbrellas.

Seated on the seat of honor in the inner hall was the Jiang Family Elder Lady. Although her hair was white, the aura exuded from her body made the rest of the people in the inner hall hiss in fear. Four of his sons were sitting on the other four chairs. The eldest, Second, had his own children standing behind him. Lao Si had no children, while the youngest, Jiang Qianxue, was kneeling on the ground.

"Grandmother, I am willing to bear the consequences." Jiang Qianxue's delicate face had a palm mark on it, but her delicate body was standing straight. Her eyes stared unblinkingly at Old Mrs Jiang on the seat of honor.

"Humph!" Can you afford to take on a Blue And White Porcelain produced by a clear government kiln? " Before Old Mrs Jiang could say anything, her second son, Jiang Yunsheng, snorted coldly.

Jiang Qianxue did not reply, but bit her lower lip. Jiang Family was an antique family, and today someone had come to sell an official kiln Blue And White Porcelain, accidentally breaking it in the Jiang Family store she was in charge of, and the price of this Cyan Flower was at least around ten million.

This was not only meant to compensate the seller for the ten million, it was also seriously hindering the development of the Jiang Family. If they received this Blue And White Porcelain, their Jiang Family's antique position would definitely rise to another level and the profits they would receive would definitely exceed ten million.

Jiang Yuncai looked at his daughter and frowned. He wanted to say something but hesitated and eventually sighed and said nothing.

"In my opinion, we should take back all the stores in the three old Clans, and forbid them from interfering with any business with Jiang Family!" The boss seemed to be angry at heart, but anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell. He was happy, but there wasn't enough time to think, if this Pure Blue Flower was really taken from Jiang Yuncai's shop, it would be good for Jiang Family, but it would be bad for him, Jiang Yunmao.

"Don't go too far!" Jiang Yuncai said with a cold face. What's the difference between this and chasing them out of Jiang Family?

Second's Jiang Yunsheng said with sinister eyes, "I agree with Brother's suggestion."

"Alright, that's enough." Old Mrs Jiang's voice interrupted their argument, and after that she said with a cold expression: "I don't need to say that you all know the value of the Cyan Flower, but this time we suffered heavy losses in Jiang Family, we must be severely punished!"

"Take back the old three families' two stores and turn in the profits for one year!" After Old Mrs Jiang finished, Jiang Yuncai's expression changed as he pleaded, "Mom, it's too heavy."

"As the father, you should be responsible for the trouble caused by your own daughter." Old Mrs Jiang looked at Jiang Qianxue with an expressionless face. "Do you accept punishment?"

Jiang Qianxue looked at her father, who had a flustered expression on his face. She took a deep breath and replied, "I accept the punishment."

"What do you know!? If we take back the two stores, we still have one left. What will the two of you eat in the future? What do you want to drink? " Jiang Yuncai was furious. He slapped Jiang Qianxue's face. The slap print was exactly the same as the one just now.

Jiang Qianxue let Jiang Yuncai point at her nose and scold her. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she did not utter a single word.

Old Mrs Jiang had no intention of staying any longer. She stood up and was about to leave, but when she stood up, her eyes landed on the stone path leading to the ancestral hall.

A thin and weak figure limping through the torrential rain walked towards the ancestral hall. It seemed as if he would be hit by the torrential rain at any moment.

"What is this trash doing here?" Lin Jing was Jiang Qianxue's husband, but since he had joined Jiang Family, for the past four years, he had been working in the shop of Jiang Family. He was usually smart enough to avoid Jiang Family people, otherwise, he would be ridiculed and ridiculed whenever he met someone, because he had always been seen as the shame of Jiang Family. A crippled son-in-law, especially when his wife was still a beautiful woman, would always become the laughingstock of the entire city.

Furthermore, Lin Jing was not only physically disabled, but also had a poor family background. He was an orphan.

In order to become the president of the Antique Association, Old Mrs Jiang did not hesitate to marry Jiang Qianxue to Lin Jing. By making use of this to build up momentum, the benevolence and righteousness of Jiang Family did indeed gain a lot of popularity, and because of this, Old Mrs Jiang was elected as the president of the Antique Association.

But after that, Lin Jing became a thorn in the side for the Jiang Family people. If it wasn't for Old Mrs Jiang's agreement, they would have kicked him out of the Jiang Family.

Old Mrs Jiang sat back down and narrowed her eyes as she stared at Lin Jing, who was standing outside the ancestral hall. There was neither joy nor anger on her face.

"Is this a place you can come to? Get lost! " Jiang Yuncai was getting angry, so he shouted angrily when he saw Lin Jing.

Lin Jing walked to the entrance of the ancestral hall and kneeled down without even entering the door.

The Jiang Family brothers watched this scene with interest, waiting quietly for the next part.

"I broke the porcelain." Lin Jing lowered his head and said.

"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Get lost, this has nothing to do with you! " Hearing this, Jiang QianXun turned around and shouted. It was true that Lin Jing accidentally broke the porcelain, but he couldn't afford to pay for it even if he took his life.

Jiang Yuncai was stunned and he said joyfully, "Mom, he broke it. It was him who broke it. It has nothing to do with Qianxue."

"Ol 'Three, that's not what I said. Isn't he your son-in-law?" Second, Jiang Yunsheng said.

"Tomorrow, no, I'll divorce Qianxue now!"

The Jiang Family old lady looked at Jiang Yuncai with a face full of disappointment, how could a cripple compensate for it? Shaking her head, Old Mrs Jiang got up and left. She didn't walk far before she paused and said, "I'm the president of the Antique Association. Qianxue can't divorce him for one day."

"Mom!" "Mom!"

Ignoring Jiang Yuncai, Old Mrs Jiang continued to walk out of the ancestral hall, while the rest of the Jiang Family brothers looked at Jiang Yuncai playfully, then left as well.

Jiang Yuncai roared and rushed towards Lin Jing, who was kneeling outside the ancestral hall, and kicked him in the face. Lin Jing's frail body fell backwards as blood started to flow from his nose and mouth in an instant.

Jiang Yuncai still didn't stop. He continued to kick his head while cursing Lin Jing as a bandit. Jiang Qianxue stood up to stop Jiang Yuncai. She was afraid that her father would really beat Lin Jing to death.

Lin Jing was lying on the ground. The blood on his face was being washed away by the rain, and new blood immediately flowed out from his nose and mouth.

"Dad, I beg you, let him go, let him go." Jiang Yuncai looked at Jiang Qianlou with a dark expression and snorted coldly. Finally, he withdrew his hand and left.

Lin Jing looked at Jiang Qianxue, who was sitting in the rain, and said with a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

Jiang Qianxuewei frowned and suddenly became angry, "Thank me? Thank me! "Other than thanking me, you know what else to say!"

"Do you know why I haven't had any intention of liking you in four years? I've tried to like you myself, but I can't do it, I can't do it, do you understand? "

"I'm a woman. I also want to lean on my shoulder when I'm tired. There's someone protecting me when I'm bullied!"

Jiang Qianxue roared louder and louder until she seemed to have used up all her energy. She said tiredly, "From now on, I don't owe you anything. Your life or death has nothing to do with me."

With that, Jiang Qianxue stood up and left, allowing the torrential rain to hit her.

Lin Jing was lying on the ground, the rain was hitting his eyelids, and it was hard for him to open his eyes. Lin Jing was lying on the ground, the rain was hitting his eyelids, and it was hard for him to open his eyes.

Lin Jing had never blamed Jiang Qianxue, because he had never felt the feeling of being cared for by anyone, even if Jiang Qianxue did it because of guilt.

Lin Jing crawled up as if he was a homeless person wandering the streets. The past four years in Jiang Family had all flashed past in front of his eyes.

The first night he took in Jiang Family, he slept on the grass. In the middle of the night, when Jiang Qianxue covered him with a blanket, he closed his eyes tightly and his body trembled nervously. Jiang Qianxue thought he was frozen, but Lin Jing had already gotten used to this cold when he was nine years old.

Later on, although Jiang Qianxue was neither cold nor indifferent to him, he would always find a bowl of noodles in the kitchen when he woke up in the middle of the night due to hunger.

Once, he had a high fever and was almost unconscious. Jiang Qianxue carried him to the hospital. This was the only time Lin Jing had ever felt thin and weak. It was great.

"… …"

Unknowingly, Lin Jing's face was covered in tears. He walked to the end of the bridge and suddenly shouted: "God! In the next life, when I meet her, can you give me some skills! "

After saying that, a gust of wind blew over, and Lin Jing's skinny body accidentally fell into the river. A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and illuminated the river surface. Lin Jing floated a few times, then completely sank into the river.
