Chapter 226: Chapter 222: Taking a Concubine_1

Translator: 549690339

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Jiang family traveled with two horse carts to Zhang Village.

As expected, Zhang Jia was not there, even Yukan who was visiting Uncle Zhang did not know where his father had gone.

The older brother of the Jiang family immediately took everyone to the county town, to Jiang Yunniang’s place.

As they rushed into the house, they found Zhang Jia holding a little over one-year-old toddler, sitting at the table having a meal with his young mistress, as if they were a picture-perfect family.

Seeing the members of the Jiang family bursting in, the woman screamed and flung herself into Zhang Jia’s arms.

Zhang Jia also looked flustered, hugging his beloved woman and the child tightly, shouting, “What are you doing?”

Jiang Sanlang sneered and pointed at Zhang Jia for Jiang Yunniang to see, “Elder sister, are you seeing this? This is the honorable son-in-law of yours.”

Jiang Yunniang looked at the couple clinging to each other, her tears streaming down.

Hearing about it was one thing, but seeing them all cozy was a completely different matter.

Jiang Yunniang wanted to ask Zhang Jia why he deceived her so much, but the words choked up in her throat, and she could not speak a word.

Her husband was always telling her that he had been lured into a trap and was unable to escape, hence he had to spend money to buy peace.

But what about this scene? It was not about being seduced, it was clear that they were both deeply smitten with each other.

Jiang Sanlang asked, “Elder sister, do you want to continue living with him or get a divorce?”

Not waiting for Jiang Yunniang to answer, he continued, “You can continue to live with Zhang Jia, but don’t expect us brothers to help you anymore. If you choose to divorce, you can come back with us, you can even bring your children along. We will take care of your and the children’s lives from now on.”

Jiang Dalang also said, “Yunniang, this kind of man is not worth it. He not only deceives you, but also abandons his own children. If he had any conscience, he wouldn’t have sold the family shop to strangers.”

After being silent for a while, Jiang Yunniang said, “I’m not getting a divorce.”

She’s not willing.

Why should she give place to others just when she had been his wife for more than ten years, served him half her life, and even bore him children?

Even if he has a new love, there are plenty of men outside with concubines.

She’s the main wife, and as long as she doesn’t leave, she’s the mistress of this house. No one, including this vile woman and her two biased children, can overstep her.

If he’s unkind, then she won’t be righteous.

Jiang Sanlang knew early that his elder sister would make this choice, and he was not surprised. Instead, Jiang Erlang and Jiang Dalang were furious.

“Yunniang! Are you possessed!” Jiang Dalang wished he could smack his sister to wake her up.

Jiang Yunniang only hung her head in silence.

Jiang Sanlang’s glare at Zhang Jia was ice-cold, “Zhang Jia, who is this woman? And who are these two children?”

Zhang Jia, seeing that Jiang Yunniang didn’t want a divorce, instantly cheered up. He let go of the delicate woman, stood up, adjusted his clothes arrogantly, and said, “Who she is, is none of your business.”

Jiang Yunniang suddenly spoke, “She is the new concubine taken by my husband. As for those two children, they are burdens brought with her.”

The woman, upon hearing this, again threw herself into Zhang Jia’s arms, whimpering, “My lord…”

Zhang Jia, while holding the delicate woman, pointed at Jiang Yunniang and yelled, “Jiang Yunniang! What nonsense are you talking about?”

Jiang Yunniang wiped her tears, calmly saying, “My lord, how am I rambling? Isn’t she the lowly concubine I bought for over two hundred coins?”

“Nonsense!” Zhang Jia’s face turned red as he swore at Jiang Yunniang, “When did you spend two hundred coins to buy her?”

Jiang Yunniang responded coldly, “My lord, you surely forgot. Last year, the over two hundred coins I handed you intermittently, didn’t you use them to buy this person?”

Zhang Jia: …

“I didn’t buy her.” Zhang Jia roared, “The money was spent on her.”
