Chapter 415: The purpose of this game is to attack the heart
Luo Jixun's body froze and it was too late for him to escape.
Everyone looked in his direction.
"Mr. Luo must be here to look for your mother, right? Quick, make way for Mr. Luo."
Everyone immediately made way for him. Luo Jixun hesitated for a moment, then ran forward and threw himself in front of Jiang.
"Mother! What's wrong with you, mother!" His voice was filled with concern.
Seeing her son being so hypocritical, Jiang felt sad again.
"Mother, no! Don't die! Your son doesn't want you to die!" Luo Jixun could only continue acting.
If, if people knew that he was the one who forced his mother to die to prove his innocence, he would be condemned by thousands of people!
"Mr. Luo, your wife is upset because of those rumors. Fortunately you are here, otherwise who knows what would happen. Please persuade your wife and don't let her learn short-sightedness." The old woman advised softly.
"Mother, please go home with your son." Luo Jixun helped Jiang up.
Jiang didn't know what consequences she would face if she returned to Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion alive.
However, with Luo Jixun present, it was impossible for her to die.
If she died like this, it would only push Luo Jixun to the forefront.
"Mr. Luo, you must persuade your mother more! She really did nothing wrong." The old woman seemed worried and shouted at the backs of the two men.
Luo Jixun suddenly increased the strength of his grip on Jiang's hand.
Jiang felt that her bones were almost crushed by her son.
"Madam, will Jiang be able to survive this time? Will the Zhenyuan Marquisate think of other ways to kill her?" Mianzhu asked his wife.
"Even if they want to, it's too late." Ji Chuhe responded softly.
As soon as Jiang left, people started talking.
"In fact, Jiang is quite pitiful. She seems to have married the second son of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion in a glorious manner, but in fact, she lives worse than the first wife of an ordinary family. Her son is already so old, but she still hasn't been given the right to manage the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion."
"Don't even mention housekeeper Quan. Think about it, which of the powerful families in the imperial capital would be willing to invite her to their banquets? They don't even take her seriously."
"Didn't those people not invite her because the Luo family betrayed them?"
"How could it be because of this? Use your brains to think about the reason!"
"Why are you talking like that? It's as if you're the only one with a brain! Can't you just say what you want to say?"
"Yes, yes, isn't that what everyone thinks all these years?"
"If those powerful families really felt that the Luo family was treacherous and disdained to have anything to do with them, why did they only target the Jiang family? Why didn't they target the Yuanhou Mansion directly? Why didn't other people in the Zhenyuanhou Mansion receive such cold shoulder? From this, it seems that they were not targeting the Zhenyuanhou Mansion, but only the Jiang family."
There was a sudden silence all around, and everyone was thinking about this question seriously.
Soon everyone came to the same conclusion.
That’s exactly what happened!
"So, General Luo may not really love Jiang that much. If he is willing to support his beloved wife, how could Jiang be treated so coldly outside? Even for General Luo's sake, others would have to interact with Jiang frequently."
"That's true!"
"That's right, that's right."
"Jiang was treated so coldly and targeted outside. One can imagine what kind of life she had in Zhenyuan Marquis's house. She probably didn't even dare to speak loudly. Otherwise, she would have no choice but to commit suicide after encountering such a small matter."
"Before, I always felt that she stole someone else's engagement and didn't like her, but now I suddenly feel a little sorry for her."
"The man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, it's just a piece of paper engagement, it's not a big deal! Besides, there is no rule that you have to get married once you have an engagement, and canceling an engagement happens from time to time. What really makes people angry is the way and attitude of the Luo family. General Luo brought the people back and concealed the facts. He also wanted to ruin the reputation of the Rongguo Mansion and let the Rongguo Mansion bear the responsibility of canceling the engagement."
"So, the Luo family should be blamed for what happened back then! As a result, everyone blamed Jiang, saying that she was shameless and seduced General Luo. General Luo was obviously also tough and would not marry anyone else but her!"
"Alas, Jiang is also a miserable person. Fortunately, she has a good son. Mr. Luo was so worried about his mother just now, so Jiang's suffering was not in vain."
"Yes, yes."
For a time, the difficulties and grievances of the Jiang family spread throughout the imperial capital.
Luo Jixun was even labeled as a filial son.
The reputation of this mother and son has never been so good.
The wife of Zhenyuan Hou fainted when she saw Jiang came back alive. She didn't know what happened afterwards. If she heard those rumors, she would faint again.
Jiang had her wounds bandaged by the court physician and she continued to live in her own yard for the time being.
The outside public opinion has made the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion wary and they cannot deal with Jiang casually.
Luo Jixun was called to the study by Marquis Zhenyuan to discuss the matter.
"This is a trap!" Zhenyuan Hou spoke slowly.
"Grandfather, who set up this trap?" Luo Jixun asked anxiously.
"I still can't guess who it is. I just see that it's a setup targeting the Luo family, but I can't guess what the purpose is at all."
"Is she the Crown Prince's wife? My mother wanted to harm her, and she gave her back in the same way!" Luo Jixun guessed.
"Not sure, let's wait and see what this person does next."
"Grandfather, what about mother?" Luo Jixun asked in a low voice.
"Let your mother rest well at home. Don't let anything happen to her."
"Yes." Luo Jixun nodded in response.
"Xun'er, did you really force your mother to commit suicide?" Marquis Zhenyuan suddenly asked.
Luo Jixun was a little nervous and a little guilty. He didn't dare to look his grandfather in the eye. He replied timidly, "Yes."
Marquis Zhenyuan was disappointed.
How could their Luo family produce such descendants!
He even gave up his own mother! What else can you expect from him?
"Grandfather, I am also thinking about my mother. For her reputation, she must die to prove her innocence. I am also doing this for my father's face and the face of our Zhenyuan Marquis." Luo Jixun wanted to explain.
"You can go down." Zhenyuan Hou waved his hand.
"Yes." Luo Jixun quickly retreated.
His back was soaked.
The contradictory psychology was like a raging fire burning his heart.
He actually let his mother die. This is something only a beast would do!
But he really wanted his mother to die!
He seemed to be split into two. This feeling of being separated caused him pain and made him struggle. However, he was like being trapped in a cage, unable to escape.
