Chapter 684: Let her kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect
Jiang Mubai was so upset that she couldn't sleep when she returned to her room, but due to her physical condition, she could only force herself to lie down, close her eyes and rest for a while.
Jiang Mubai closed her eyes but her mind was very active and she was thinking about things all the time and couldn't calm down. It was only a matter of time before Chen Qingyu and Jiang Ping knew about Jiang Jinglan. The impact of this matter was beyond imagination. Jiang Mubai believed that it would alarm the entire Jiang family, and then she and Jiang An would be the enemies of the entire Jiang family.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mubai couldn't help but sigh. Jiang Mubai was very determined to deal with Jiang Jinglan. She couldn't just let Jiang Jinglan go. The other party wanted to put her to death. Jiang Mubai had nothing to say. Moreover, she knew in her heart that Jiang An was thinking the same thing. Knowing that she still had someone supporting her, Jiang Mubai felt a lot more relieved.
"I still have to deal with those people later, so I'd better take a rest and recuperate first."
Jiang Mubai forced herself to calm down and stop thinking about those things. After a while, the speed at which her eyelids blinked slowed down a lot until they stopped moving. After being busy for most of the night, Jiang Mubai was indeed tired.
When the servants in the old house saw Jiang An wait for Jiang Mubai to leave and follow him to the ancestral hall without saying a word, they were worried that something might have happened, so they immediately went upstairs to report the matter to Jiang Ping and Chen Qingyu.
Chen Qingyu and Jiang Ping had already gone to bed. When the housekeeper knocked on the room door, Chen Qingyu was very annoyed because it disturbed her beauty sleep. Jiang Ping's body had just recovered a little and his knee was still swollen. Although he could move on his own, his movements and speed were very slow.
He was also woken up and saw that Chen Qingyu looked very impatient, so he thought about getting up and checking out the situation himself. After all, it was so late and the servants were knocking on the door, which meant something must have happened.
Jiang Ping's movement to get up was noticed by Chen Qingyu. She turned over and sat up on the bed to stop Jiang Ping.
"Let me go. Your legs aren't fully healed yet and I'm faster than you. Just lie down."
After Chen Qingyu finished speaking, she turned over and got out of bed. When Jiang Ping saw this, he didn't say anything and didn't lie down. Instead, he sat up and leaned against the head of the bed to listen to the movement at the door.
Chen Qingyu opened the door and saw the housekeeper standing outside with an anxious look on his face. "What's going on so late?"
"Madam! The eldest daughter was taken to the ancestral hall by the second master. No one knows what happened and no one dares to ask. So I came to tell you about this right away!"
Seeing the housekeeper say this, Chen Qingyu immediately perked up, "What do you mean? Why are they not sleeping at this late hour?"
"We don't know either. We only know that the second master and the two young ladies came back from outside the old house. We don't know when they left and why they came back so late! Not only them, but the second master also brought a lot of bodyguards back and went to the ancestral hall. It looked like a scary scene."
Jiang Ping, who was sitting on the bed, also heard what the housekeeper said at the door, "Aan is back? He is in the ancestral hall now, right? Let's go over and see what happened. Why did I hear the names of Jinglan and Mubai?"
Jiang Ping struggled to get off the bed. Chen Qingyu came back to help him after hearing the noise. She told the housekeeper at the door, "Go and ask someone to push Ah Ping's wheelchair over. Wait for me to go to the ancestral hall with him to check the situation."
"Okay, ma'am, I'll arrange it right away."
After receiving Chen Qingyu's instructions, the housekeeper immediately turned around and went downstairs. After a while, she appeared in Chen Qingyu and Jiang Ping's room with people and a wheelchair.
Jiang Ping was carefully placed in a wheelchair by the people brought by the housekeeper, and was brought downstairs safely. Chen Qingyu stood by and did not need to help. She was worried about Jiang Jinglan's condition, so she went straight to the back of the ancestral hall. The housekeeper and the servants pushed the wheelchair from behind and helped Jiang Ping to the ancestral hall at the back.
The Jiang family ancestral hall was brightly lit again. Jiang An had Jiang Jinglan forced to kneel on a cushion on the ground and asked her to reflect on what she had done in front of the Jiang family's ancestors. Jiang Jinglan was unwilling but was held down by Jiang An's men and could not struggle.
Wen Nuohan was not a member of the Jiang family so he didn't have to do this, but he was also brought to the ancestral hall by Jiang An. Now he was being watched in a corner of the ancestral hall and couldn't escape either.
After finishing these things, Jiang An just stood quietly aside without doing anything. He was waiting for Chen Qingyu and Jiang Ping to come over. The noise just now had alarmed the servants in the old house. Jiang An knew that someone would go upstairs to report this matter to his elder brother and sister-in-law, so he was waiting here for his elder brother and sister-in-law to arrive.
Chen Qingyu acted quickly. She arrived at the Jiang family ancestral hall before Jiang Ping. Seeing her daughter being forced to kneel on the ground by Jiang An's men, Chen Qingyu immediately rushed over and tried to pull Jiang Jinglan up.
"Hurry up and get up. What are you doing to my daughter? Don't you know that she is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family?" But Jiang An's people had received his orders in the morning not to let Chen Qingyu pull the person up.
Seeing this, Chen Qingyu pointed the finger at Jiang An, "An, what do you mean by this? After making your brother kneel in the ancestral hall, is it now Jinglan's turn? Will you force me to kneel in the ancestral hall like this too?"
"I didn't mean that, sister-in-law."
"If that's not what you meant, then what are you doing now? If you hadn't asked people to treat Jinglan like this, wouldn't I be unable to help her?"
"Jinglan did something wrong and should be punished. I was just teaching her a lesson so that she knows she was wrong."
"What a lot of words! Don't I have the right to ask if my daughter has done something wrong? Besides, this is my daughter and you, as an uncle, have no right to do this. No matter how wrong she is, we, as parents, have not said anything and it is not your turn to educate her."
Seeing Chen Qingyu defending herself like this, Jiang Jinglan immediately shouted: "Mom, you have to save me! Uncle won't let me go so easily, you have to save me!"
Jiang An's brain was about to explode because of the quarrel between Chen Qingyu and Jiang Jinglan. Now he finally understood why Jiang Jinglan became like this. It would be strange if Jiang Jinglan could be educated well with a mother like Chen Qingyu.
As soon as Chen Qingyu arrived, she wanted to pull Jiang Jinglan up from the ground without asking the reason. With a mother who protected her so much, it was no wonder that Jiang Jinglan acted so boldly and recklessly. But there was no way out this time. Jiang An had promised Jiang Mubai that he would help her get justice, and Jiang Jinglan was an adult and should be responsible for what he had done.
Seeing that Jiang An was unmoved, Chen Qingyu immediately ordered the servants working in the old house to help, "Come over and help me pull the young lady up from the ground so that these people won't touch her again!"
Seeing that Chen Qingyu was going to use force, Jiang An was not polite either: "Let's see who dares! The people I brought are all professionally trained. If they fail to control their strength and hurt you old bones, I will not be responsible."
The servants of the old house were frightened by Jiang An's words and stood still for a while, not daring to move. Chen Qingyu was furious when she saw this: "What did you hear? Do you still want to stay in the old house?"
