The old lady is reborn

Chapter 33 Can I Still Cancel the Engagement?

Jiang Muwan made up his mind, endured it all the time, showed weakness everywhere, and even tried to please his father, hoping to get a little sympathy.

But in the end, I was abandoned like a lamb to be slaughtered. If I don’t say anything today, I’m afraid I will die silently and no one will know.

So she said, "Because your mother, now the wife of Marquis Xiaoyao, was originally just a concubine of your father, and you were also originally a concubine.

My mother was the legitimate wife of Marquis Xiaoyao.

My father, Xiaoyao Hou, doted on his concubine, your mother Bai Su. He said that your mother was gentle, pure, innocent and kind.

You are weak, so you can slap me a dozen times and feel that your hands hurt?

Pure, without a matchmaker or engagement, having an affair with a married man, not even as a concubine, is that purity?

Naivety, is it the kind of naivety that makes me pretend to be stupid and feed poison to my mother while she is drinking it thinking it is powdered sugar?

Kindness, is it the kindness that you boasted countless times that you let me live so that I can have children for you, and then let me die?"

When Jiang Nianchen started talking, he got furious and asked the nanny beside him to come over and slap her in the face, but was stopped by Yu Min.

Yu Min said, "Let her finish first, then you can speak. You are both daughters of the Marquis' Mansion, and she is not your servant. How can you let a servant slap her in the face?"

Jiang Nianchen was extremely angry and said without thinking: "What kind of lady is she? She is just a servant."

The onlookers couldn't help but look sideways when they heard this.

Song Ying asked Jiang Muwan, "Is Ye Xuan, the former wife of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, your mother?"

Jiang Muwan said: "Ye Xuan is my mother, she was killed by Bai Su when I was eight years old.

My father knew it, too.

Before my mother was murdered, my father secretly brought Bai Su and Jiang Nianchen, mother and daughter, into the house and lied to my mother that they were the descendants of an old friend and that he wanted to take care of them.

My mother is truly kind. She sympathizes with the mother and daughter and treats them sincerely.

It turned out that they were having an affair and that the child was actually their daughter, who was even two years older than me.

My mother proposed divorce in anger, but Bai Su said that divorce was worse than being widowed.

She said that as long as my mother left the Marquis' Mansion, the fact that Bai Su was a concubine and Jiang Nianchen was a concubine's daughter would no longer be concealed.

My father will also have the reputation of favoring his concubine over his wife.

With my father's connivance, Bai Su poisoned my mother to death. Afterwards, Jiang Nianchen used my name and took my place, becoming the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family.

They gave me the name Jiang Muwan and registered me as a maid, making me a concubine's daughter.

My mother was said to have contracted an epidemic and died suddenly. She was hastily buried without any funeral rites.

A year later, my father remarried, marrying Bai Su. In fact, she had already lived in the Marquis's mansion.

Bai Su originally wanted to kill me, so she sent someone to drag me over and started to kill me, and she let her two maids pull the hemp rope around my neck from the left and right.

I was almost dying. My father came and stopped them. I thought he had some father-daughter affection for me, but it wasn't true.

He said to Bai Su, Nian Chen has just replaced my identity. My mother also took me out of the mansion before. Many people have seen my appearance. Two people have died in the mansion. If someone recognizes me, it will be bad when there is still a 'living' person in the mansion.

He asked Bai Su to wait for a few more years, and during that time he didn't allow me to go out. Jiang Nianchen only said that I should observe mourning for the first one or two years, and not go out to see people too much. Slowly, the child will grow up, and his appearance may change a little. "

Jiang Muwan trembled all over when he said this, and tears fell again: "These are the words my father said in person when I was almost strangled to death."

Jiang Muwan continued, “Three years later, news came from Jiangnan that my uncle was still alive and had been found, but for some reason he became a monk.

My father and Bai Su originally thought that my mother's family had all died out, but when they heard that my uncle was still alive, they let me live first.

Jiang Nianchen, who is two years older than me, has never had her period. She started seeing doctors for this disease when she was thirteen, became anxious when she was sixteen, and now she is nineteen, and it still hasn't been cured, and she has never had her period.

The doctor and the nurse said that she would probably never have a child. Then they turned their attention to me, asking me to have a child and then die.

If my uncle becomes a monk all his life, the family property of the Jiangnan Ye family can be inherited by this child. As for whether this child will live or die in the future, it depends on whether it is necessary.

They planned to have one or two maids around me wait on me and watch me give birth. If I died, I would have this child and the old woman who was my dowry as a witness, which might be useful when I seize the Ye family's property.

The servants in my yard have not been allowed to leave since Jiang Nianchen took over my identity. Over the years, only those who died in Xiaoyaohou Mansion have not been released.

There are also two old people who have already surrendered to Bai Su and can come in and out.

Most of the servants in the entire marquis' mansion were my father's men. After my mother died, some of the few servants who were originally there turned to Bai Su.

But before my mother died, she knew something was not right and she could not leave the house. In addition to writing a letter in blood to explain everything to me, she also made some arrangements to try her best to protect me.

So there are still some servants in the mansion who are loyal to their old master and inconspicuous. They try every means to make my life easier, and constantly report the news about the mother and daughter to me, so that I can be on guard. It's hard for these servants.

Jiang Nianchen and her daughter looked down on me enough, and they didn't really want to hide many things from me. I was only eight years old at the time, and they said they liked to see me trembling with fear day and night, not knowing when I would die. "

After Jiang Muwan finished speaking, Wu Siyu, who had been sitting with the female guests and came along, regretted in her heart: If what this girl said was true, her son would be marrying a concubine who couldn't even have children.

Can I still cancel the marriage now?

Jiang Nianchen said: "You are a bastard born by a girl climbing into bed, have you gone insane?

Is it because your mother, who was a concubine, was beaten to death that you slandered the current Jiang family mistress and your elder sister? "

Jiang Muwan said: "You are the one who is talking nonsense! My mother is Ye Xuan, your mother is Bai Su, who was born from a concubine's family, and you are a concubine's daughter.

Your identity and age are all fake, you used mine. You are not seventeen this year, you are nineteen.

If you want to verify the truth of her words, you can find out now by asking a doctor or a female doctor to treat her. "

Wu Siyu was somewhat tempted after hearing this. If the female doctor now confirmed that it would be difficult for her to have children, could she cancel the engagement on the grounds that her in-laws had deceived her first?

Just as she was thinking about this, she heard Jiang Nianchen say, "Nonsense! Even if the doctor said that I would have difficulty in having children, how can you say that all those nonsense you made up are true?"

Jiang Muwan said: "Everything can be verified, just one of them first. Everything I said is true, I am not afraid even if I report it to the police."

Wu'er suddenly bowed to Yu Min and said, "Madam, Wu'er is a servant of the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion. Can Wu'er say a few words?" Yu Min had obviously begun to take charge of the situation.

Song Ying intended to let Yu Min take the lead and ask for advice on everything, while he himself stepped back. Wu'er understood what he meant.

Yu Min said: "Just say it."

Wu Er said: "Wu Er feels that what the second young lady of the Jiang family said is more credible.

Because Wu'er heard the maid of the eldest lady of the Jiang family asking what to do with the big box in the bridal chamber?

The eldest daughter of the Jiang family replied that life and death were up to her, and no one should worry about her. Living has its uses, but death is death.

I was surprised by what he said, so I asked someone to carry the box out."
