Chapter 251: It seems there is nothing to be afraid of
Jiang Yilin knew that his grandmother was trustworthy.
Over the years, I have been protecting them mother and son in private.
So he said bluntly: "My mother wants to divorce me."
The old lady was surprised for a moment, then laughed: "This is something she can do."
The idea may not have come from the daughter-in-law, but she was able to do it.
Jiang Yilin tried to ask: "Do you support it too?"
The old lady smiled gently and said, "It's good to be able to leave the Marquis' Mansion."
Although the one who wanted to divorce was her own son, she did not feel angry at all.
Instead, he felt that his son deserved it.
After she gave birth to Jiang Jian'an, the old man took his son away and raised him himself.
Normally, she was not allowed to interfere in her son's affairs, and she could even see him less than twice a month.
Her son is not close to her and is always distant when they meet.
Even though she used to make clothes and cakes for him every month and cared about his life, he remained the same.
So she later became cold-hearted and stopped doing those things. Instead, she began to calm down and practice vegetarianism and chant Buddhist scriptures.
Therefore, she was not close to her only son and they did not have a deep relationship.
On the contrary, her two grandsons are very close to her. They often come to the yard to accompany her and have a real grandparent-grandchild relationship with her.
Jiang Yilin didn't miss his grandmother's expression, "So do you want to leave the Marquis' Mansion?"
The old lady was stunned, "Why leave?"
This place is like a cage that has trapped her for nearly forty years, so how could she not want to leave?
Jiang Yilin said as a matter of course: "Divorce your husband in the same way!"
"That old guy has never been nice to you over the years, so you just kicked him out."
The old lady smiled bitterly, "I am different from your mother. She had the confidence to divorce her husband, and someone accepted her after she left the Marquis' Mansion."
She sighed, "But I don't know where to go."
The old man married her mainly because her biological mother had passed away, her biological father didn't care about her, and her stepmother was in charge of the family.
She does not have a good relationship with her stepmother's younger brother, and he will not support her after he becomes the head of the family.
That's why they are so unscrupulous.
Back then, I went against the old man's wishes and forcibly handed over the housekeeping power to my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law's family came to my house and gave me a lecture.
Of course, she didn't bother to pay attention.
Now the daughter-in-law wants to divorce her husband, and someone is backing her up.
If she divorced her husband, not only would her family not help her, they would certainly try to persuade her, or even ridicule and scold her.
It is even more impossible to support and accept her return.
Jiang Yilin could see her thoughts and concerns.
He reached out and shook the old lady's hand, giving her strength, "Grandma, you still have us."
"Who says that after divorcing your husband, you have to go back to your parents' home?"
"My mother and we have your back."
"My mother also wants you to divorce your husband and get out of this stinking ditch of the Marquis' Mansion."
"After you divorce the old thing, you can move to the villa I bought. We don't want to go back to your parents' home."
"My brother and I can accompany you in the future, so go out and see the outside more often."
He emphasized, "If anyone from your mother's family dares to say anything bad about you or pick a fight with you, I will bring people to beat them up."
He and his mother have many similarities in personality, such as being arrogant and unbridled.
He used to have the nickname "Little Bully" in Beijing, which meant he would just kill anyone he didn't like.
He has basically been going out to sea in recent years and has faded out of everyone's sight.
This time he will stay for a year or so before going back to sea, and he also wants everyone to know that the little bully is back.
The old lady trembled and her eyes turned red.
My heart feels even warmer.
Her family is indifferent, her husband treats her coldly, and her son is indifferent to her, but she still has her grandson to support her.
As for her daughter-in-law, she was not too embarrassed to cause any more trouble.
She took a deep breath and made the most outrageous decision in her life. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"I divorced that old thing, too."
She is already this old, so it seems like there is nothing to be afraid of.
Divorcing your husband, just thinking about it makes me feel good!
Jiang Yilin has always known that his grandmother is a gentle person with a strong character. "Grandma is mighty!"
The old lady chuckled, and she seemed to be much more relaxed. "You!"
Jiang Yilin smiled and asked, "Grandma, does that old man have any secret relationship with the Second Madam?"
The old lady sighed again, and then replied: "When he was young, he wanted to marry Shui Qiulan's mother, but it didn't work out."
“I haven’t let it go all these years.”
"In order to fulfill his regret, plus the other party's hint."
"He is the one who did the disgusting thing of marrying two wives and letting your father marry the other's daughter."
This was something she hadn't expected.
At that time, she even went to find her son and persuaded him not to have a second wife, as this would make his daughter-in-law sad.
But her son obviously only listened to his father and told him to follow filial piety, so there was nothing she could do.
Jiang Yilin was not too surprised. After all, he had always felt that the old man was too partial to the second wife.
I have been busy going out to sea these years and have not had time to delve into it.
It turns out there is such a relationship.
He couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, have you always known about this?"
The old lady shook her head. “That’s not the case.”
"After I married into the Marquis's Mansion, the old man became very cold to me and would not tell me these things."
"After your father was born, he rarely set foot in my yard."
"If he hadn't been sent out to fight, the stewardship would not have been given to me."
She paused and continued, "I also found out about it on the day your father married his second wife and her daughter was born."
"That night, the old man suddenly came to my yard and talked to me in a friendly manner."
"I drank a lot more happily."
"He also said that his granddaughter is beautiful and will definitely be outstanding in the future, and he wants to find the best son-in-law for his granddaughter, such as a prince."
"I always feel like there's something wrong with him. Why would he be so happy that the second wife gave birth to a daughter?"
"Then he got drunk and fell as he was walking out the door, and the man who was waiting on him fell on the ground, breaking his arm."
"I took someone to send him back, but he refused to go back to his room and insisted on going to the study."
"I took him back to the study. He was too drunk to notice me."
"He took out a brocade box from a secret compartment in the study, and then he lay down on the couch."
"As he touched the brocade box, he whispered nostalgically, 'She really looks like you.'"
"I have a rare curiosity in my life."
"So after he fell asleep, I took out the brocade box and opened it."
"Then I found several paintings in the brocade box, all of which were of a woman."
"I met her before I got married. She was Shui Qiulan's mother."
"In addition to the paintings, there are also several letters that the woman wrote to him."
"There's nothing obviously romantic in the letter, but there are a lot of hints."
"Like suggesting that the old man treats me coldly."
"For example, let the old thing help her husband's family with some things to tide them over the difficulties."
"Like asking your father to marry her daughter."
"Now I know why the old man took the initiative to propose marriage to me and was so cold."
"Why did your father have to have two wives and favor the second wife so much?"
"I also reminded your mother to make sure she seizes the housekeeper position in the Marquis' Mansion and not let the Second House get involved."
"Tell her to be on guard against the second house, protect you brothers, and don't devote yourself too much to your father."
She pursed her lips and said, "I have been hesitant about whether to tell your mother about this."
