Chapter 567: Drive Him Out of the Old House
"What is the plan of Auntie to do with Yi Yun? If he continues to stay in the old house, with his mindset, he might even approach Sister Jinglan and say some nonsense that would affect our sisterly relationship. Besides, after I expose his affairs, he will definitely find a chance to retaliate against me. It is not safe for me to keep him in the Jiang family."
Seeing Jiang Mubai say this, Jiang An naturally supported his daughter. Moreover, what Jiang Mubai said was not wrong. Yi Yun's continued stay in the old house did pose a threat to Jiang Mubai's safety.
"Mu Bai is right, sister-in-law. It would be very unsafe if Yi Yun continued to stay in the old house."
Everyone knew that Yi Yun was a scapegoat who took the blame for Jiang Jinglan and had to bear all these things. Chen Qingyu was naturally aware of this as well. Her original plan was to have Yi Yun taken away and give him a lighter sentence after the matter here was resolved.
After all, Yi Yun took the blame for her daughter so that others would not misunderstand Jiang Jinglan. Naturally, Chen Qingyu had to express her feelings to Yi Yun, but she did not expect Jiang Mubai to ask these questions to her face. Even if Chen Qingyu wanted to cover up for Yi Yun, it was impossible.
"What Ah An and Mu Bai said does make sense. It is impossible for Yi Yun to stay in the old house. I will personally lead people to drive him out. Mu Bai, don't worry. I promise not to let you see him in the old house again."
"That's fine. Since my aunt has said so, I feel relieved."
Yi Yun was destined not to stay in the old house any longer. Even if Chen Qingyu wanted to cover up for him, it would be impossible. She planned to give Yi Yun a large sum of money to ask him to help keep the secret and then leave.
Jiang Jinglan wanted to say something but Chen Qingyu grabbed her arm tightly and told her not to talk nonsense.
After this incident, Chen Qingyu began to look at Jiang Mubai in a different light. Not only did she clear herself of suspicion with a few words, she also pushed the blame on Yi Yun, an outsider, and even made Chen Qingyu owe Jiang Mubai a favor because of Jiang Jinglan's matter.
A trace of admiration for Jiang Mubai flashed in Chen Qingyu's eyes, but when she thought of her daughter being such a person, she immediately looked disappointed. She thought how great it would be if her daughter was as smart, brave and resourceful as Jiang Mubai. Chen Qingyu didn't know what sin she had committed in her previous life to give birth to such a debt collector who was more of a hindrance than a help. What happened at such an old age that she needed her, as a mother, to help clean up the mess.
"Let's go back. Jinglan's body is still wet, so let her go back and change her clothes. Remember to ask the family doctor to take a good look at her to see if she has any bumps or bruises."
"Jinglan, can you get up by yourself? If not, I will ask someone to carry you back."
"I can, it's okay, don't call anyone."
Afraid that Jiang Jinglan could not leave, Chen Qingyu stepped forward to help her up, and the two of them walked in front. Jiang An saw that there were still servants gathered here and immediately asked them to leave.
"Everyone, just do what you need to do and stop standing here and watching. Also, keep your mouth shut and don't let us hear you talking about this behind your back. If this gets leaked out, the old house won't be able to accommodate you anymore."
"Yes! We got it."
Jiang An did this for the sake of the entire Jiang family, not just to preserve Jiang Jinglan's reputation. Jiang Ping was very satisfied with his younger brother's approach. He had always seen what Jiang Mubai had done before, and now that everything had been handled, he couldn't help but look up to Jiang Mubai.
Now only Jiang Mubai and the two Jiang brothers are left here. Jiang Mubai pushed everything onto himself for Jiang Jinglan's reputation, so Jiang Ping has to repay the favor.
"Ah An Mubai, I'm so sorry. I apologized to Mubai on behalf of Jinglan. It's all your aunt and I's fault for not educating her well and causing her to become what she is now. I almost hurt the friendship between you two sisters. I'm so sorry."
"Uncle, please don't say that. Wasn't it Yi Yun who instigated Sister Jinglan to do this? Otherwise, how could Sister Jinglan, who doesn't know people well, be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives? This matter has nothing to do with uncle and aunt. I hope Sister Jinglan can recognize the true face of others before making friends next time."
Seeing that Jiang Mubai was determined to push the blame on Yi Yun, Jiang Ping naturally knew what Jiang Mubai meant.
"Yes, big brother, our family must not say those words. In the future, I hope that Jinglan will not listen to others and do such fratricidal things again."
"Of course not. Yi Yun is about to be kicked out of the old house by my aunt. After Sister Jinglan is no longer around this kind of person, my relationship with Sister Jinglan will definitely get better."
"Okay, Mu Bai is sensible. Let's go back. Today is the day you have to go to the ancestral hall to worship. This matter must not be delayed."
"Okay, let's go back and get ready and then go to the ancestral hall."
"Okay, everything will be fine as you say, uncle."
In the main house, Jiang Jinglan was taken back to his room by Chen Qingyu.
Jiang Jinglan saw that they were the only two people in the room, so she couldn't wait to ask: "Mom! You're not really going to send Yi Yun away, are you? He's been with me for a long time. Besides, he has nothing to do with my falling into the water. Don't think that Jiang Mubai is wrongly accusing him just because he said that."
Seeing Jiang Jinglan still begging for mercy at this time, Chen Qingyu was almost mad at her.
"Do you have a brain or not? Don't you know what Jiang Mubai meant by saying that? You really make me so angry. If you were as smart as Jiang Mubai, you wouldn't be speechless. She pushed the blame on Yi Yun just to excuse you. If you really care about Yi Yun, why didn't you explain for him when you were there just now? Why are you shouting now that you're back?"
"How can I admit that I framed Jiang Mubai when there were so many people around me just now? I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. If I say this, won't those servants just laugh at me for nothing?"
"You still know that you are the eldest daughter of the Jiang family? Did you give Jiang Mubai face when you were there just now? Who doesn't understand that you are wrongly accusing her from what she just said? Do you think that if she puts the blame on Yi Yun, the servants will believe it?"
"They have to believe it even if they don't believe it. I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. How dare they say bad things about me behind my back?"
"They don't dare to do that because of your status, but have you ever thought about how your reputation has been ruined after this incident? What will you do if this gets out?"
"No, mom, you can just warn those people. They won't dare to talk about me outside."
"I really can't understand what's going on in your mind. Didn't you promise this morning that you wouldn't bother with Jiang Mubai anymore? I thought you had really behaved yourself, but you caused such a big incident when I wasn't paying attention. I've cancelled the bracelet purchase I told you about, and you need to stay home and don't go out for the next few days."
