Chapter 327 Unrecognizable
The melons from the Jiang family.
One after another, they came.
Abandoning wife and children, betraying family for the greater good, murdering her own husband...
Even though Jiang Yunze repeatedly ordered that the servants in his household be strictly forbidden from discussing it.
But the wind that was meant to be exposed still didn't diminish at all.
It's said that in the grand mansions of the capital, there are many wives and concubines, and undercurrents of intrigue and deceit are commonplace.
But in families like the Jiang family, where there was only one wife and one concubine, some divorced and some died, leaving only a newly brought-back mistress.
Still the only one.
I heard that the mistress's family was also convicted of a crime.
I always felt that Jiang Shilang's wives and concubines were cursed; none of them had a good ending, either having their homes confiscated or being exiled.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that there was something strange about the Jiang family.
Maybe it's the Yue family that's at fault.
Those who had originally intended to target Minister Jiang also gave up, since no one wanted to be the fourth to have their property confiscated.
To put righteousness above family ties, to put it nicely, is to be upright and incorruptible.
In reality, it's selfishness, callousness, and ingratitude.
Anyone who knows Jiang Yunze will find that he appears gentle and refined on the surface, but is actually sinister and hypocritical.
I guess he's just too good at disguising himself; almost everyone who suffers a great loss at his hands only discovers his true colors.
But the price of knowing the truth is always cruel.
Think it over carefully.
The tragedy of Qi Caiwei and even the Qi family began the moment she looked down on Jiang Yunze and slandered him.
His revenge was more terrible than a storm.
Let them make mistakes, ruin their reputation, and wear down their will until they become his tools.
Before becoming Jiang Yunze's concubine, Qi Caiwei had never actually experienced any real hardship.
She has parents who truly love and care for her, and they have never lacked for her food or clothing.
She was practically pampered and spoiled growing up.
The only hardship she ever endured was the cold shoulder and harsh words spoken to her by her own sisters.
Even so, she was still better off than most illegitimate daughters.
If I hadn't met Jiang Yunze.
She might still marry down, and Minister Qi would most likely find a favorite student and have his daughter married in a grand sedan chair carried by eight men.
No matter how much she admired Jiang Yunze, she would never let her daughter become his concubine.
Qi Caiwei never understood why she hadn't died at the hands of her rival, Lu Qingyao.
Instead, he was ruined by the person next to him in bed.
Hanging himself in front of Madam Jiang's door was probably the greatest revenge he could take against Jiang Yunze.
The robust old woman was a devout believer in ghosts and gods, and this time she was truly so angry that she fell ill.
Bedridden.
Jiang Yunze doesn't care about many people in this world, but Grandma Jiang is probably the only person he cares about the most.
As for children, they may have some, but perhaps not many.
For him, there is only one mother, but he can have many children.
That night.
As soon as Xiuxiu got home, she pulled her older sister aside for a late-night chat by candlelight.
Jiang Miaomiao went to bed early. She got up in the middle of the night to pee and found that the candlelight in the outer room was still on.
She overheard it.
Then I heard my mother ask Aunt Xiuxiu: What's the situation with Qi Caiwei's mother?
"Sister, you don't know, after Hu returned to the Jiang family with her daughter, she found out what Jiang Yunze had done. She was so angry that she slapped him a few times. Old Madam Jiang couldn't bear to see her precious son being beaten, so she stepped forward and started fighting with Hu. I heard that Old Madam Jiang is very fierce. She slapped Hu so hard that she knocked her down and slammed her onto the table."
Lu Qingyao's mouth dropped open.
No one understands Grandma Jiang's fiery temper better than she does.
She used to torment and harass the servants quite a bit.
She can still hide.
But Qi Caiwei's mother was delicate and frail, and was no match for her.
She pursed her lips and said, "Xiuxiu, do you know why Grandma Jiang insisted on accusing me of disrespecting my mother-in-law and wanted to kick me out of the Jiang family?"
"Wasn't it her and Qi Caiwei who framed you?"
“Not entirely.” Lu Qingyao pursed her lips and said, “The old lady and I got into an argument. She tried to slap me, but I dodged it. As a result, she tumbled off the covered bridge and fell into the lake.”
"They actually didn't kill her!" Xiuxiu suppressed a laugh.
But on second thought, it doesn’t seem right.
If she had fallen and died, Jiang Yunze would probably have accused her of murdering her mother-in-law.
Lu Qingyao continued, "And then what happened? Hu Shi was killed just because of that collision?"
"They weren't killed in the crash; they were dragged to death. Jiang Yunze took the mother and daughter to a manor in the suburbs without even calling a doctor for them. They were dragged to their deaths. When I arrived, they were already cold."
"So you released Qi Caiwei?" Lu Qingyao knew that Xiuxiu wouldn't stand idly by.
“Sister, this is not my fault. I let her out so that she could cause a scene and let the world know Jiang Yunze’s true colors. I never expected her to be so foolish as to try to kill Jiang Yunze.”
Xiuxiu had a very vague impression of her parents and couldn't understand Qi Caiwei's behavior at all.
Her mother is already dead, why would she go and die for nothing?
They were truly blinded by hatred.
Lu Qingyao didn't know what to say.
These women in the capital, though seemingly as delicate as paper dolls, are actually more cunning than a sieve.
Unexpectedly, without their support, they were even more fragile than paper dolls.
But I also understand her quite well.
If she were in that situation, she would definitely tear that ungrateful wretch who harmed her parents to pieces.
But understanding does not equate to sympathy.
She couldn't feel sympathy, so she had no sympathy for the person who had once wanted to kill her and her child.
The night is deep.
Jiang Zijin tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Even after seeing her mother off on her final journey, she was still somewhat dazed.
I never expected my mother to die so suddenly.
His funeral arrangements were also handled hastily.
She herself lost her mother before she even reached marriageable age.
I used to feel that my mother was a burden to me.
But now I feel empty and lonely, and my eyes welled up with tears without me even realizing it.
She has no mother.
No matter how foolish or biased her mother was, she was still her only mother.
My maternal grandmother has also disappeared without a trace; we don't know if she's dead or alive.
No one in her family was willing to tell her.
The estate where her mother and maternal grandmother were sent was not recorded in the household accounts. If it had been, she would surely have known about it.
Her father was truly cunning; even she was wary of him.
It's impossible for her to say that she has no resentment or hatred towards her father.
Selfish, cold-hearted, sinister...
He has it all.
He brought ruin to the Qi family; he harmed his mother and maternal grandmother.
But he was so adept at strategizing and even cunning that she had no choice but to willingly submit to her father.
No matter how many times she is reborn, she is still just a young girl who has not yet reached marriageable age.
She dared not delve deeper, nor dared to ask further questions.
You can only turn a blind eye.
But she was also confused, even somewhat lost.
In her previous life, she had such a smooth life; her parents were alive and well, and her family was happy.
She was the daughter of a high-ranking official, then the daughter of a minister, and eventually became the mother of the nation.
Everything went smoothly.
If she hadn't been so soft-hearted and unable to let go of that unfaithful man, she would have become the Empress Dowager, the most honored woman in the Great Liang Dynasty.
They wouldn't necessarily die.
I always thought so.
Heaven gave her a second chance at life.
It's about giving her another chance, allowing her to avoid the mistakes she made in her past life and take fewer detours.
But how did things become so unrecognizable?
She couldn't figure it out.
If you want her to take a different path, why bother letting her have those dreams and see her past self?
How can I let go of the past after seeing it?
This is so cruel!
