The military district guesthouse, Lu Shufen, with her swollen face, had been crying and cursing. Every time her cheek twitched, she occasionally hissed in pain.
"I waited so long for you, just to end up with this outcome. Had I known, I would have gone back to Beijing." She wouldn’t have had to suffer that shrewish wife’s beating, oh God, her face was no longer presentable, and she hurt all over.
Lu Shufen was extremely dissatisfied with how the recent farce had been handled, and what disappointed her most was that Jiang Conghe actually let those shrewish women off the hook so easily.
They were from the Capital, their family held power and influence, yet they were intimidated by people from the countryside, what a joke, she’d never heard of such a laughable thing before.
"Then what do you suggest we do about this?" Jiang Conghe’s face also looked very unpleasant.
He had arrived full of fury, but the first thing he saw was his wife and daughter being beaten to a pulp by others and being accused and pressured by a young company commander’s spouse, leaving them with no retort.
Such an inglorious outcome was simply too dreadful!
"What else can be done, of course, all those wicked barbarians must be thrown into jail!" Lu Shufen glared, questioning him, "You, a high-ranking commander, can’t even manage this, still a commander for what? Watching your wife and daughter being bullied and not standing up for them, what kind of man are you!"
Jiang Conghe darkened his face and said coldly, "If it hadn’t been for your move that caused that woman to miscarry, not to mention throwing them in jail, I could have had them immediately convicted."
Lu Shufen’s face changed, "What do you mean by that? Are you blaming me now?"
"Am I not speaking the truth? Without the moral high ground, how are we to argue our case? Does that make sense?" Jiang Conghe said irritably.
Lu Shufen shrieked, "I’ve never heard of such reasoning before, a bunch of nobodies among the common people arguing with us? Jiang Conghe, do you still think you’re the poor young man from humble beginnings? That’s so laughable."
Jiang Conghe said angrily, "You’re being completely unreasonable, beyond persuasion."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shufen cried even louder, and Chiang Tian had no choice but to go and try to console her. It was so annoying; they might as well go back to the Capital.
Chiang Qing suddenly opened the door, staring at them coldly, emotionless, and said, "If you’re going to argue, do it outside, don’t disturb my sleep."
The crying abruptly stopped, Lu Shufen lifted her head, staring blankly at her daughter, while Jiang Conghe also looked at her with a stern face.
He certainly hadn’t forgotten, it was this daughter who had undermined him just a moment ago.
