Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 274: The Concubine’s Daughter Defies Heaven and Changes Fate (14)

Prime Minister Jiang was biased towards Xia Qingzhu in his heart, and he was sorry for her after all. However, no matter how much he owed her, it would all disappear in a flash in the face of time.

Xia Qingzhu lay on the bed of nails, covered in wounds, her eyes fixed on Prime Minister Jiang. Tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't know whether she hated herself for not being able to protect her daughter, or hated Prime Minister Jiang's indifference over the years.

The servant boy felt sorry for her, and although he knew that Aunt Xia's presence in the mansion was not strong, he still spoke with sympathy.

"Sir, Aunt Xia at least had the merit of giving birth to the young lady. If something really happened to her, what would happen if the news got out?"

Prime Minister Jiang acted as if he hadn't heard anything and said coldly, "It's just the status of a concubine, how can it be important? You are someone close to me, so why are you now interfering in the affairs of the backyard?"

These words seemed like a test. In short, when Prime Minister Jiang said them, the servant boy dared not speak anymore.

"You once said you would never let me down, but later, for the sake of your career and future, you demoted me to a concubine. Jiang Wang knows that I don't ask for much, just that my beloved is safe and sound.

But you broke her pride and made her a humble dowry. I hate you in my heart.

But as long as you are willing to help me and Qingqing, I am willing to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. I was wrong, I made the wrong choice back then!"

When Prime Minister Jiang heard such heart-wrenching words, he felt even more distressed and didn't know what to say.

But Aunt Xia's words seemed to have cut her heart open, and he didn't know how to make Xia Qingzhu shut up.

"What happened back then was already many years ago. You're holding on to it just to make me feel guilty. Jiang Qingqing has fallen into depravity and wants to be a concubine. How can I control it? Besides, I only have Yu'er as my eldest daughter. Jiang Qingqing's fate is like duckweed. She is destined to have no good destiny in this life. I will not give her the slightest chance no matter what."

Xia Qingzhu finally gave up, and the light in her eyes gradually faded. Decades of pain were only made more desperate by Prime Minister Jiang's words.

"Prime Minister Jiang is right. You are a high-ranking civil servant. What does the life and death of mother and daughter matter to you?"

She endured the severe pain, walked down from the nail bed, and headed towards the lotus pond not far away. It was summer, and the lotus flowers were in full bloom. Their delicate and beautiful appearance made people sigh.

Those lotus leaves were the lotus flowers that she and Prime Minister Jiang had planted with their own hands when they got married. At that time, Prime Minister Jiang had also planted a mountain of camellias for her.

But later, the fragrance of the lotus in the lotus pond faded, and the camellia flowers were cut down, no longer showing their former beauty.

Just like the friendship between husband and wife in the past, some things can never be returned.

Wanting to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and carry wine together is not like a young man's journey.

The breeze blew across Aunt Xia's cheeks, and tears overwhelmed her. She had endured the pain for many years, but all the suffering was brought by the man she once loved deeply.

Jiang Xianyu sat in the pavilion, eating soft and glutinous snacks, watching Aunt Xia's actions not far away, as if watching a play, with a sneer in her eyes.

Xia Qingzhu would never think that her father would be fooled by her self-torture. Men's friendship is the most indifferent. Once they stop loving someone, they will never look back.

Princess Changping's eyes were filled with sneers. "Oh, after all these years, she's finally stopped pretending. Does she think she can still win her husband's favor? How ridiculous!"

Xia Qingzhu didn't want to listen to too much talk. She closed her eyes and jumped into the lotus pond without any reluctance. If the gods knew, she would never marry Jiang Wangzhi.

There was only a splash, and the water in the lotus pond splashed everywhere. The maid not far away didn't know what was going on and said excitedly.

"Oh no, someone fell into the water."

This news shocked the maids of the Jiang family. Some of them wanted to know the inside story. They asked around many times but did not get a satisfactory answer.

Prime Minister Jiang stood there in a daze, unable to believe that Xia Qingzhu would disregard her life and jump into the lake to commit suicide. He suddenly lost his composure and kicked the servant beside him.

"Why didn't you stop me just now!"

The book boy said, “…”
