Chapter 232 Jiang Wanqiu's Scheme
Chapter 232 Jiang Wanqiu's Scheme
After Jiang Wanqiu was reborn, her entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change.
She rarely saw anyone while she was ill, which only Liu and her personal maid found strange.
Jiang Wanqiu's gentle demeanor was only for outsiders; the maids and servants around her always knew that their second young lady was not to be trifled with.
Even if they could see through it, they dared not say anything, and simply became more and more careful in their actions.
Liu, on the other hand, didn't have that concern and asked directly. She felt that her daughter suddenly had an indescribable air of nobility.
She still looked the same, but she had even become a little thinner and more haggard from lying down for some time.
But she always gave people a sense of dignified and noble demeanor, which was exactly the same as the first-rank ladies she had met at the banquet a few days ago.
Jiang Wanqiu didn't hide anything from Liu Shi and told her everything about how she had regained her memories of her previous life.
Firstly, the mother and daughter have always been close, and her increasingly different behavior would only become more apparent to her mother.
It's better to be honest than to let your mother suspect you and create a rift.
Secondly, it's also for the convenience of doing things.
She is now just a young lady confined to her room, with no one to rely on and no money, even going out is restricted, and many things are inconvenient for her to do.
She also wanted to take revenge on Jiang Xinyu to avenge her husband, and she needed to convince her mother to unconditionally listen to her plan.
One's social background limits their horizons.
She gradually entered high society and gained access to higher levels of knowledge only after Zhao Chengye rose in status.
My mother's vision and schemes are too lowbrow; if I listen to her, I'll never be able to turn my life around.
Parents simply have a natural sense of superiority over their children.
No matter how much parents acknowledge their children's excellence, they always feel that their children are less knowledgeable than themselves when it comes to family matters.
Even if one is illiterate, one's children are highly educated.
She can only gain more influence by exposing herself and being reborn.
Her mother might not trust her as a young, sheltered girl, but she would not distrust her as a woman who had been a duchess for 50 years and was now living a second life.
Having been mother and daughter for decades, Jiang Wanqiu knew Liu Shi inside and out.
She not only gained Liu's trust, but even her mother's guarantee that she would follow her every word.
At first, Liu was naturally skeptical, shocked, and disbelieving when she heard about it, but as her daughter told her more and more, Liu had no choice but to believe it.
Regardless of the truth of those things, my daughter's composure and logical thinking are beyond what a teenage girl should have.
She had been living a very frustrating life these days, and when she heard something different from what she had experienced in this life, she cried and laughed at the same time.
Just say it!
How did things turn out this way when everything was planned so perfectly? It turns out that Jiang Xinyu, that little bitch, has been reborn.
There is calculation in mind but no intention.
Now that she knew what would happen next, it's no wonder she preferred to marry the old eunuch rather than Zhao Chengye.
After crying for a while, Liu's eyes gradually hardened. Holding Jiang Wanqiu's hand, she said bitterly,
"Qiu'er, now that little bitch has seized the opportunity and gained a high position, many people's fates are different from their previous lives."
"Your mother is ignorant, and your father is unreliable. Our family is now entirely dependent on you."
Jiang Wanqiu gently wiped away Liu's tears, but her words carried a deep chill.
"Mother, as you said yourself, we've been pushed to the brink of despair by a single move."
If we don't take drastic measures, I'm afraid I'll be bullied to death by that bitch sooner or later.
She's already died once, so no matter how much we give in, she won't let us go.
Don't be fooled by her seemingly relaxed approach; she's just playing cat and mouse, slowly tormenting us.
Just like Quan'er, the days she suffers from daily humiliation are worse than a quick and painless end.
I reckon the next one will be a daughter.
She won't let me have an easy time, nor will she let me die quickly. She'll probably find a place that looks good on the surface but is rotten inside and marry me off there.
She doesn't even need to lift a finger; a wicked mother-in-law and a thoroughly rotten playboy are enough to torment her daughter to the point of wishing she were dead.
Then it's Song'er's turn.
Mother, do you still remember the eldest daughter-in-law of Minister Li's family?
That Mrs. Yao didn't get along with her mother-in-law, but she didn't want to get a bad reputation.
Before her husband took up his post in another city, she introduced her unruly little cousin from her aunt's family to her brother-in-law.
The girl and her parents were living in another city, and no one knew whether she was good or bad. Everyone praised Madam Yao for being virtuous.
After all, her younger cousin came from a very good family and had a very generous dowry. At the time, she had her husband's family completely charmed.
But the result?
Her brother-in-law was so well controlled that even her mother-in-law was so angry that she was bedridden every few days.
She easily got her revenge while she was far away, without suffering any bad reputation.
If it hadn't gone too far and resulted in a death, everyone would probably still be in the dark.
Family scandals should not be aired in public, so Minister Li, fearing his in-laws, could only wrong his wife and children.
"Mother, Jiang Xinyu is now the Lady of the Marquis. If she were to act as matchmaker for Songdi, do you think Father would agree?"
Liu broke out in a cold sweat. "That goes without saying."
The master is now obsessed with clinging to that little slut and hoping that the old eunuch will promote him. He doesn't care about the life or death of us mother and children.
He doesn't concern himself with the affairs of the inner quarters; as long as his in-laws are powerful, why would he care whether the person he's marrying is a human or a ghost?
Jiang Wanqiu patted Liu's hand, "A daughter is going to get married. Whether she lives or dies is not in your mother's sight. Just pretend you don't see it and don't worry about it."
But if Songdi marries a disobedient and unfilial troublemaker, how will you live, Mother?
If the daughter-in-law's family had a higher status, the father wouldn't care whether you lived or died.
Just you wait and see, first it's Quan's brother, then his daughter, and then Song's brother.
Jiang Xinyu won't kill your mother easily; she wants you to watch your children be slowly tortured to death one by one.
If the mother doesn't go crazy after all this, then it's highly likely that it will be the maternal grandfather and uncles' turn.
"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit. Jiang Xinyu is a demon crawled out of hell; she's here for revenge."
The sinister words made Liu's face turn deathly pale, as if she could already see her miserable fate ahead.
But in reality, Jiang Xinyu didn't think that much about it.
It's true that they were slowly tormented, but they didn't really intend to go through that much trouble.
What's all this talk about finding a husband and getting married? In Jiang Xinyu's heart, this whole family is less important than hanging out with Xiao Yuan.
Instead of wasting her free time, she might as well find some good stuff and explore her husband's hidden ways of having fun.
Jiang Xinyu used to not understand why some female supporting characters were so obsessed with getting entangled with the male and female leads after they were reborn when she read novels.
Especially those melodramatic novels with tragic love stories and the tragic ending of the wife, where the reborn female supporting character is portrayed as mentally ill.
Do you think it's meaningful for a rich and beautiful heiress like you to go through all this trouble with some innocent, naive girl?
Everyone knows they had a tragic love affair, a deep and heart-wrenching relationship, and they went through so much trouble together. What's there to get involved in?
They won't be doing well even if you don't get involved, okay?
Why do you have to make yourself a part of their game?
Those two crazy people are like a pile of shit; anyone who gets involved with them will feel disgusted. Isn't it better to stay away from them and live your own life of extravagance and debauchery?
Even if you're being incredibly shameless and only like that male lead, can't we wait a few more years?
Love is a hormonal impulse.
The more the whole world opposes the male lead, the more he clings to the female lead like a madman.
Without you vicious female supporting characters interfering, if they were to live together like this, they might get tired of each other after a few years.
Anyway, Jiang Xinyu felt that her life was quite interesting, and she really didn't have that much free time to waste on Jiang Wanqiu.
