Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist
Chapter 131 New Mission
At this time, a middle-aged woman beside him stepped forward and suggested to the old man, "Mother, please go back and rest first. I will send someone reliable to take care of my sister until she gets better. It won't be too late to visit again."
The old lady who was recognized gave her some words of advice before leaving, and then lowered her head and said to her with concern: "You should lie down for a while longer. If you need anything, remember to tell your aunt immediately."
He nodded slightly in agreement with a somewhat weak feeling, and after watching everyone leave, he pretended to fall asleep.
"Provide me the original host's memories immediately, system."
[Upon receiving the instruction, all of his past life experiences will be presented to you for review.]
Soon, a huge amount of information flooded into the depths of her consciousness. Shen Muxue felt as if her head had been hit hard, and her brows were furrowed.
The old woman beside her asked with concern, "Miss, you seem very unwell. Do you need to report this to the lady?"
Another old servant beside him shook his head and said, "It's only been half a day. The ladies just left. Aren't you asking for trouble by calling them back?"
The old woman in front still looked worried: "But didn't the old lady instruct us not to make any mistakes?"
The old servant sneered and said, "After all these years, you still haven't noticed anything? It's enough for the woman in the bed to be alive. Don't really treat her as the eldest daughter in the family, thinking that she can really bring glory to the family in the future."
The voices of the two people gradually became quieter, and finally Shen Muxue could no longer hear anything. She was completely immersed in the memories of her past life and present life.
According to her memory, her mother came from a merchant family, the Song family, one of the richest families in Wenzhou.
This family rose to prominence through the salt industry, and after several generations of operation, they accumulated an industry comparable to the wealth of a country.
Legend has it that half of the land and shops in Wenzhou City belonged to the Song family, so local people jokingly called it "Half Wenzhou".
Despite this, the status of business was relatively low among the four major classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans at that time. Even if one had a fortune as rich as the Su family, he would still be looked down upon by scholars.
In order to improve his family's status, the previous owner of the Song family, the original owner's grandfather, strongly advocated marrying his daughter to a family of scholars, hoping to gain a better position and change his appearance.
So, they spent a huge amount of money on betrothal gifts to make their daughter the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Shen family. The Shen family was a family of officials for generations. The person in power in the family was a high-ranking member of the Hanlin Academy. He had many disciples throughout the court. It could be said that they were a real aristocratic family.
Logically speaking, this marriage should have been a win-win and happy outcome, but the good times did not last long. The girl from the Song family who married into the Shen family passed away shortly after giving birth to a daughter, and the beautiful vision of this marriage was shattered from then on.
The Song family, who did not profit from it but instead lost their beloved daughter, planned to demand the return of all the betrothal gifts they had given.
However, how could one easily spit out something that had already been swallowed?
Therefore, the Shen family responded immediately: they quickly arranged a marriage for the young Shen Muxue. In this way, when the child grew up, the dowry that originally belonged to his mother would naturally be handed over to the bride and used as a new gift.
Of course, the Song family, as smart as they are, already had a plan in place. All the real estate stores are still firmly controlled and managed by their own people, and the ownership has not actually been transferred.
In other words, the Shen family, which nominally accepted a gift of property worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, actually only enjoyed the right to collect rent from the above-mentioned assets on a regular basis.
As for important documents such as land deeds and property certificates, they are naturally all kept by internal personnel of the Song family.
Because she was brought up by her grandmother, she was full of prejudice and disgust towards the business that her grandparents and uncles and aunts were engaged in. They rarely communicated with each other and almost cut off contact.
Thus, a strange situation was formed: on the surface, everyone in the big family was deliberately trying to please and protect this girl, but behind her back, they made things difficult for her, ridiculed her, and excluded her.
She was once ignorant and naive. In her previous life, she naively believed that these were all out of the care and love of her elders.
Little did they know that the truth was often just a cruel, cold, and merciless lie. Only before their death did they suddenly realize everything...
According to her recollections, she also had an aunt who married Marquis Jingcheng and gave birth to an only son named Wei Zixian.
And this Wei Zixian was the man she had been engaged to when she was a child.
Back then, in order to keep the huge treasure in their own hands instead of falling into the pockets of outsiders, and also to ensure the continuation of this precious marriage relationship, the Shen clan chose to tie the lonely little Mu Xue to her childhood sweetheart and fiancé's cousin to form a Qin Jin marriage.
The innocent heroine has always considered him her future partner, and every time they meet, she would smile foolishly and show a happy expression for a long time...
Her mother was just the daughter of a merchant, and she herself had no special talent or fame. How could she have the blessing to marry into the Jingcheng Marquis's Mansion and become the wife of such a prominent prince?
In her previous life, she loved so humbly and deeply that even in the face of the prince's repeated cold treatment, she still gave everything without reservation.
Later, she became pregnant. When she was giving birth, a large group of people from her family came to see her. At that moment, she felt that her status had been raised unprecedentedly.
When she was struggling on the brink of life and death, her cousin Shen Lingwei, her aunt's daughter, walked into the delivery room.
She leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Sister, does it hurt? If you are sensible, you'd better get rid of it sooner rather than suffer like this."
Shen Muxue was in so much pain that she could hardly think. She had no idea what her usually docile sister meant by this.
"Sister, childbirth is such a painful process. I can hold on. In order to leave offspring for the prince, I will stay strong."
After hearing this, Shen Lingwei couldn't help but burst into a crisp laugh. She looked at her sister with pity and said, "Don't you really understand? The reason I've doted on you all these years is all because of your family's generous dowry. I let you marry cousin Zixian so that the property would remain in the family and not flow into the hands of others. After all, as the heir to the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion, how could he tolerate a wife like you standing by his side? So today will be your end. Once you pass away, I will marry Zixian in your place and inherit everything that belongs to you."
If a married woman dies, her original family has the right to claim back her dowry.
Just like how the Song family had previously tried to ask the Shen family to return their original property rights.
After Shen Muxue got married, those items were officially transferred to her name. If she unfortunately died in an accident, it meant that the Shen family no longer had to worry about the Su family claiming the inheritance.
From this point of view, the Song family's assets were easily transformed into the Shen family's wealth, and the only price was the sacrifice of Mu Xue's life.
