How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 103 I'll tear her mouth apart right now
Three days later, Jiang's army gained a masked soldier.

Although the masked soldier looks thin and weak, he is very good at fighting. Not only is he good at fighting, but he can also heal wounds, and his healing skills are quite high.

Soon, the masked soldiers gained a foothold in Jiang's army.

The Duchess of Jin was asking her mother for medicinal herbs when a maidservant came in to announce the arrival of the Second Madam. The Duchess of Jin's second brother's wife's surname was Sun.

The Duchess of Jin was the eldest daughter. She had a good relationship with her brothers' wives.

When Grandma An heard that her second daughter-in-law had arrived, she let her in.

After entering, Madam Sun first comforted the Duchess of Jin for a few moments, then dismissed all the servants. "Eldest sister, have you been staying home a lot lately?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

After hesitating for a moment, Madam Sun told him what she had heard. "I heard that a child went to my brother-in-law, saying he was his son. When my brother-in-law found out, he sent Jiang Cheng with a thousand men to take the child away. After taking him away, he also put the wounded soldiers under his care. He is not even ten years old yet."

"What?!" The Duchess of Jin could hardly believe her ears. She was here asking him for medicinal herbs, and he had given her an illegitimate child.

Old Madam An glared at Madam Sun. "Why are you telling your eldest sister this? Don't you think your eldest sister is upset enough?"

Sun didn't want to say anything, but, "Mother, it's all over the capital. I told my eldest sister so she could be prepared. Besides that child, there's another young general in the Jiang family army who wears a mask."

"Although the young general was wearing a mask, everyone said he looked a lot like the guard who took the child to find his brother-in-law. After the masked young general appeared, the guard disappeared."

"Also, although that masked young general started as a private, he was personally sent there by my brother-in-law's strategist."

"Everyone says...everyone says...everyone says..."

The Duchess of Jin wiped her eyes. "What were they saying?"

Sun gritted her teeth. "Everyone says that the young general wearing a mask is probably also my brother-in-law's son."

Given Gou Sheng's past record, the fact that the Duke of Jin's strategist had taken good care of Dong Laoqi, and the fact that Dong Laoqi was wearing a mask, people couldn't help but overthink things.

Dong Laoqi didn't want to wear a mask either, but being a soldier was different from other jobs. Soldiers trained every day, and training made them sweat a lot.

Under the impact of the Great Khan, all pretense will be exposed.

The Duchess of Jin was so angry she could hardly breathe.

Madam Sun quickly tried to soothe the Duchess of Jin. "Elder sister, calm down. If you get angry, it will only benefit that woman outside and those two illegitimate children."

Madam An quickly added, "Yes, you mustn't get angry. You have to stay calm. Even if the Duke of Jin promotes them, they are still illegitimate children."

Mrs. Sun: "I'm telling you this so you're aware of the situation and won't be caught off guard by that woman and those two children. I'm not trying to upset you."

Madam An: "What if you anger your grandson to death? Your grandson is still so young."

Thinking of her grandson, the Duchess of Jin patted her chest. "I'm not angry. You're right, if I die of anger, it will only benefit that woman outside and her two sons."

Mrs. Sun breathed a sigh of relief. "You're right to think that way. You scared me to death just now."

"Feel sorry."

“It’s alright, we’re family. Big sister, what are you planning to do next? I heard that as soon as your husband got injured, he sent Chen’er to transport grain.”

The Chen'er mentioned by Madam Sun is the second son of the Duchess of Jin, whose full name is Jiang Ruichen.

The Duchess of Jin wrung out the handkerchief in her hand. "I thought he was worried about Chen'er's safety, but it turns out he was just making room for that woman's child outside."

Madam Sun hadn't expected the Duke of Jin to be this kind of person; it's true what they say, you can know a person's face but not their heart. "Eldest sister, what are you going to do? Chen'er and Qi'er aren't married yet. Even if they were, who knows when they'd have a son. Why don't you just make Yu-ge'er the grandson?" The Yu-ge'er Madam Sun was referring to was the child born to Jiang Yuxin, whose full name was Jiang Chengyu.

Lady of the Duke of Jin: "This..."

Madam An: "Your second sister-in-law is right. Chen'er is still too young to be anything special, let alone Qi'er. The Duke of Jin is clearly trying to elevate those two concubines' sons. Once that masked concubine's son achieves some military merits, the Duke of Jin can ask the Emperor to make him the heir apparent. If he becomes the heir apparent, what will happen to you and your children?"

Sun: "Yes. That's why I told you."

The Duchess of Jin gritted her teeth. "I'll write to him right now and ask him to request an official title for Yu-ge'er."

Madam An: "You alone are not enough; you need to bring your mother-in-law along."

Sun: "Yes, bring your mother-in-law along."

The three of them discussed it for a while and then went to the Duke of Jin's mansion.

While Madam Jiang was chatting with her third son, a maid came in and said that Madam An and Madam Sun had arrived.

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang quickly went out to welcome Madam An in.

After the servants served the tea, Madam Jiang asked them to leave.

Madam Jiang felt that Madam An's sudden visit must be due to an urgent matter. The two had been in-laws for decades, so Madam Jiang asked directly.

As it turned out, Madam An actually said there was no urgent matter.

"That?"

Looking at Madam Jiang with a stern face, Old Madam An said, "I'm here to congratulate you. Congratulations on having two more grandsons."

Old Madam Jiang was completely bewildered. "Mother-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

"Hmph!" Old Madam An snorted coldly.

Madam Sun: "Old Madam, please stop pretending. It's all over the capital. The Duke's illegitimate son went to see the Duke, and the Duke admitted it."

"An illegitimate child?!" Old Madam Jiang was convinced that someone was trying to smear her son. "Who said that? I'll tear their mouth apart right now."

Third Master Jiang also felt that his elder brother couldn't possibly have an illegitimate child. "Yes, let's go now."

Madam Sun smiled. "That's what Princess Xuan said. You may go."

Madam Jiang: "..." Although Princess Xuan loved to gossip, she never spread rumors.

Third Master Jiang: "..." No way? His older brother really has illegitimate children? Two of them? His older brother really hid them well.

Old Madam Jiang took a deep breath and looked at Madam Sun, asking, "What exactly happened? Tell me. If your brother-in-law has wronged your sister, I'll break his legs."

"it is good."

After Sun finished speaking, Old Madam Jiang really wanted to break her eldest son's legs. "Don't worry, I won't let those two children into the house."

After hearing her say that, Madam An picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea. "Besides talking to you about the two children, I also wanted to discuss with you the matter of requesting an official title for Yu'er."

Madam Jiang initially thought it was her eldest son's fault for being confused, but upon hearing "request for official appointment," she realized it wasn't that simple.

Madam Jiang looked at Madam Sun and asked, "Aren't there quite a few people who think we should request a title for Yu'er?"

Thank you for correcting my mistake, darling. Wishing you a happy mood every day! (￥A￥) Congratulations on your fortune! (*з)(ε｀*) Mwah~
