Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder
Chapter 1106 The Eldest Daughter Who Was Rejected in the Engagement 2
"How dare you speak like that, you little brat?" Before An Chongli could even get angry, Jiang's mother was already furious. "You yourself are no match for Chunyun, and you can't even capture Chongli's heart. How dare you still have the nerve to scold Chongli like this?"
"You're so sharp-tongued, you never say a nice thing. No wonder Chongli doesn't like you and prefers your sister. Any man with a bit of sense would know who to choose between you and your sister. Chongli's choice of Chunyun only shows that he has good taste."
“Mother, you are utterly ridiculous,” Jiang Chunxi said, looking at her mother with disdain. “You treat your own daughter so badly, yet you dote on your illegitimate daughter like a precious treasure. No wonder Grandmother always says you are a clueless person. You probably can’t find another one like you in the entire capital.”
Honestly, Jiang Chunxi is speechless when it comes to her mother, who is so clueless.
Chiang's father had a beloved concubine, someone he cherished dearly, and that concubine was Chiang Chun-yun's biological mother.
Jiang's mother was a muddle-headed person with a severe case of being obsessed with love. Just because Jiang Chunyun's birth mother was the apple of Jiang's father's eye, she was willing to register Jiang Chunyun under her own name in order to please him. Not only did she make Jiang Chunyun, an illegitimate daughter, become a legitimate daughter, but she also treated her rival's daughter as her own.
It was because of her daughter-in-law's muddle-headed thinking that Madam Jiang took in the original owner's granddaughter to raise. Perhaps for this reason, Madam Jiang disliked her biological daughter, the original owner, more and more, while she schemed against her illegitimate daughter, Jiang Chunyun, more and more.
So, in the original owner's previous life, although Jiang Chunyun did not marry An Chongli, she still married into a very good family. Jiang's mother even gave most of her dowry to Jiang Chunyun. On the contrary, when the original owner's biological daughter got married, she did not give her any dowry at all.
"You...you dare to speak of your own mother like that? This is disobedience and unfilial piety!" Mother Jiang's chest heaved with anger. "Mother, this is the good granddaughter you raised. Look at what you've done to Chunxi. With such a disobedient and unfilial girl, tell me, who would dare to marry her?"
"No wonder Chongli didn't want to marry that brat. He must have seen through her nature long ago and turned to Chunyun instead."
"A mother who is not kind expects her son to be filial," Old Mrs. Jiang sneered. "If Chunxi were to be filial to you, a mother who treats other people's daughters like treasures and tramples on her own daughters, she would be betraying my teachings as her grandmother."
Then Madam Jiang looked at An Chongli and said, "Since Chunxi is also unwilling to marry someone as morally corrupt as you, then the engagement between you and Chunxi is off!"
An Chongli's face was very unpleasant, but since his goal had been achieved, he did not want to cause any further trouble. He clasped his hands together and said, "Then I thank you for your kindness, Madam."
An Chongli then looked at Jiang's mother respectfully and said, "Auntie, please tell Chunyun that I will have the elders of my family come to propose marriage as soon as possible."
"Alright, alright," said Madam Jiang with a loving expression. "I will talk to Chunyun and tell her to wait patiently for you to come and propose marriage."
Then, Mrs. Jiang happily saw An Chongli off.
Jiang Chunxi then signaled to the maid to carry the box out so that An Chongli could take it away.
“Your mother is truly beyond saving,” Madam Jiang shook her head and said. “I’ve always known she’s not very bright, but I never imagined she would be this confused. It’s fortunate that you and your brother didn’t leave her to raise you, otherwise she would have ruined all the children.”
Jiang's mother's father was an official at the Imperial Academy, which was why the Jiang family proposed marriage to her. However, they never expected that Jiang's mother would be so muddle-headed. In short, the old lady of the Jiang family was filled with regret for marrying such a confused daughter-in-law.
Therefore, when Chiang's mother gave birth to her granddaughter, she took her in and raised her. Later, when her grandson was born, she also took him in and raised him until he was five years old, and then sent him to his maternal grandfather's house.
Jiang's mother's family was known in the capital for their excellent education of their children, but no one expected that Jiang's mother would be such an anomaly. Before she got married, she was a perfectly normal person in her family, but after she got married, her brain seemed to have been filled with water.
It was also because of his daughter's behavior in her husband's family that Jiang's father felt very guilty towards the Jiang family. So when his grandson was five years old, he proposed to take his grandson with him and teach him personally, determined to make his grandson successful so that he could reduce his guilt towards the Jiang family.
Instead of fighting for custody of her two children, Jiang's mother harbored resentment towards them.
Of course! Jiang's mother also harbored resentment towards her mother-in-law and her own father. Then she showered extra love on the two children born to her husband's concubine, as if she could prove something in this way. It was so foolish that it was laughable and utterly speechless.
“Grandmother, that’s just how my mother is. Haven’t you gotten used to it already? Why bother getting angry with someone as clueless as her?” Jiang Chunxi said with a smile. “You should try to be less angry. Your granddaughter is hoping you live to be a hundred years old.”
In the original owner's previous life, Madam Jiang suddenly fell ill and died in the second year after the original owner got married.
It's impossible for the original owner not to suspect the cause of her grandmother's death, but at that time she was already married out of the family and faced difficulties in the An family, so even if she wanted to investigate the cause of her grandmother's death, she had no way to do so.
Therefore, the original owner had another wish, which was to ensure that his grandmother lived to be a hundred years old.
Actually, if it weren't for the sudden death of Madam Jiang in the original owner's previous life, the An family definitely wouldn't have dared to torment the original owner like that.
Yes, the original owner was essentially tortured to death by the An family.
After all, Old Madam Jiang was dead, and Father Jiang didn't care about the original owner, the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife. Mother Jiang was even less of a concern, not to mention the original owner's younger brother.
He has a mentally challenged biological mother, an extremely biased father, and a beloved grandmother who has passed away.
Under such circumstances, the original owner's younger brother was already struggling to make ends meet, so how could he possibly take care of his married older sister? Moreover, the original owner was already trapped in the An family at that time, and even her loyal maids could not leave the mansion. Therefore, she could not convey the suffering she endured in the An family!
"You! You're just good at making me happy," Old Madam Jiang was amused by her granddaughter's words, but then the smile on her face faded. "I really didn't expect that An Chongli and that girl Chunyun would dare to do such a shameless thing. I don't believe your father didn't know about this."
How could Madam Jiang not know how biased her own son was?
The son's beloved concubine was a maid in the mansion. She came to serve the son when she was eight years old. She was a cunning vixen, and she managed to keep it a secret from Old Madam Jiang.
By the time Madam Jiang realized what was happening, it was too late. Her son had already been drugged and threatened to kill himself, forcing Madam Jiang to spare the fox spirit's life.
