Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

"It would be best not to let Jiang Shuxue marry into the Zhong family. Otherwise, even if the Wei family falls on hard times, they will still have someone to rely on and a powerful backer. They will then put pressure on Princess Shouguang again," Qiao Lian'er said.

If Princess Shouguang is in bad shape, how can Xiao Lan be alright?

Pei Shijiu said, "I've found out these past few days that the reason the Zhong family agreed to this marriage is related to the astronomical dowry. The person Young Master Zhong most wants to marry is not Jiang Shuxue."

Qiao Lian'er was somewhat surprised to hear this gossip.

Indeed, coveting a dowry is not uncommon in any era, especially a dowry inherited from Princess Shouguang, which comes from the royal family and is even more enviable.

Young Master Zhong, for the sake of his dowry, was willing to marry a woman he didn't particularly like; wealth and riches are truly wonderful things.

"Once Xiao Lan returns and acknowledges her relatives, revealing the truth of what happened back then, Jiang Shuxue will lose the dowry that Princess Shouguang provided, and the Zhong family will find a way to annul the engagement." She tapped the tea table with a leisurely air.

“So, we’ll just have to watch how things develop.” Pei Shijiu raised an eyebrow.

Under the treatment of the imperial physicians, Jiang Shijing recovered day by day.

Instead of hearing the news that he had become demented, the Wei family heard that even Jiang Shijing had been cured.

This was another bolt from the blue for Wei.

"Impossible. Those poisons have been inflicted for years, and the damage is already done. There's no cure, so how could it possibly be cured?"

The poisoning began when Jiang Shijing was just a few years old. This is why, even after Jiang Zhongmao discovered that the source of the poison was in the teapot and summoned a royal physician from the palace, Madam Wei remained calm and unhurried.

Because it's completely useless.

However, given the precedent of Princess Shouguang's overnight recovery, Lady Wei still felt uneasy.

"Shuxue, quickly go to the eldest young master's courtyard and see if it's true." Madam Wei's voice was filled with panic as she pushed Jiang Shuxue.

“I also want to verify this properly,” Jiang Shuxue said. “Mother, it’s probably not true. It’s just Princess Shouguang spreading false information to scare us. How could someone who has been crippled suddenly return to normal? What’s the difference between that and being brought back to life?”

“But Princess Shouguang has indeed recovered. It is said that she was helped by the gods. Look at her now, she is so energetic and full of life. She could live for several more decades. I’m afraid that since God helped her, He will also help her son.”

"I simply don't believe such a bizarre thing could happen."

Jiang Shuxue left the courtyard and headed towards the eldest young master's place.

Whether it was Mrs. Wei's imagination or not, on such a hot day, she felt a cold wind blowing through the air and then into her sleeves, causing her to instinctively hug her arms tightly.

Jiang Shijing had a screen, table, fruit and snacks prepared in the courtyard, and he leisurely practiced calligraphy.

After several days of treatment, he is now "well".

Anyway, his mother regained her vitality overnight, which shocked the entire Jiang family. If one strange thing happens, there will be a second. He just needs to put on a show.

At this moment, Jiang Shijing was dressed in a white robe embroidered with green bamboo, his black hair tied up with a jade crown, looking handsome and refreshing. He held a brush in one hand and rolled up his sleeve with the other, writing on the rice paper with flowing, elegant and neat strokes.

Where is there even a trace of madness left?

Jiang Shuxue thought she was seeing things and checked several times.

It really is Jiang Shijing! I've never seen Jiang Shijing so dignified before!

She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Now that Jiang Shijing is doing well and can study for the imperial examinations, what chance do her two younger brothers have in the Jiang family? What will become of her mother in the future?

Jiang Shuxue still clung to a sliver of hope. Whether she had truly returned to normal after entering the courtyard could not be determined solely by her behavior; her speech was the true indicator of her authenticity.

"It's my sister." Jiang Shijing glanced at the person who came, smiled, and put down his pen.

"Sister, what do you think of my writing? Does it have the style of our father?"

Jiang Zhongmao was an avid calligrapher and one of the most renowned calligraphers in Beijing.

Jiang Shuxue stared at Jiang Shijing, and seeing the piercing light in his eyes and his composed expression, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. Her gaze fell on the words; the calligraphy was elegant and powerful.

Before his erratic and mad behavior, Jiang Shijing had also written some characters, but his writing, like him, was crooked, twisted, and unsightly.

In front of her was a perfectly normal, living person.

He was clearly a brilliant and talented young nobleman, with a dashing and debonair demeanor.

"Brother, what happened? Did those imperial physicians really cure you?"

This tone sounds more like an interrogation.

Jiang Shijing smiled and said, "The imperial physicians certainly deserve credit, but I think it's mostly thanks to God's blessing, otherwise I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

“Look at our mother, she recovered overnight. Some things are unseen and intangible, and no one can say for sure. We can only hold them in awe.”

Jiang Shuxue trembled all over, suddenly lost control and screamed, then turned and ran outside.

As Jiang Shijin watched his departing figure, the smile in her eyes gradually disappeared, and the corners of her mouth tightened, revealing a cold expression.

Princess Shouguang has already told him the secret, saying that she and her son will protect the real sister together so that she can return home rightfully.

This Jiang Shuxue is nothing more than a parasite born to Wei Shi, who took her sister's place and wanted to seize her sister's wealth and status.

How could we possibly let her succeed?

After so many years of good times, it's time to give it all back. Everything is preordained.

Jiang Shuxue stumbled and staggered as she ran, her heart pounding in her chest, until she stumbled into Madam Wei's courtyard.

"Mother, it's true. That crazy bastard is really cured. His words and writing are no longer problematic. He looks like a normal person."

Jiang Shuxue trembled.

Wei was trembling even more violently than her, and her face was completely bloodless.

Since Jiang Shuxue is going to marry into the Zhong family, to be honest, their interests are not that related. As long as Princess Shouguang doesn't know that she is not her biological daughter, she will still hand over her dowry.

But she wanted to stay in the Jiang family forever, and the well-being of her two sons was related to the rest of her life.

Now that Jiang Shijing's madness is cured, what will her two sons get?

All those years of planning have turned out to be nothing but an empty dream.

Mrs. Wei felt a surge of anger rush to her head, and her vision blurred with blood mist, making it impossible for her to see anything.

She suddenly clutched her chest, opened her mouth wide, and her body stiffened as she fell to the ground, causing the servants to scramble to her feet, pressing on her chest and pinching her philtrum until she finally caught her breath.

Madam Wei opened her eyes, stared blankly into the air for a long time, and then her eyeballs suddenly began to move rapidly.

No, she had to find a way to turn things around.

The best way would be to kill the bastard child just like she killed Ye Qiao, and then it would be over once and for all. She truly regretted not having gone all out before for safety reasons.

She wondered who would be willing to do this, and she thought of the Zhong family, who were after Jiang Shuxue's dowry.

"Shuxue, go to the Zhong family."
