Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...Destroy them swiftly. The Ming family has done too many evil things and they don't deserve to live.
If others can't destroy it, let him do it!
"You are too polite." Grandma Wuxu waved her hand. "It's just a saying. Maybe there will never be a day when I need you. It's getting late. Your daughter can't stay outside for long. After all, she is a spirit body and the impact is great. You should go back!"
Ming Zhaoyuan said nothing, with tears in his eyes, as he comforted his daughter: "Juan'er! Just listen to grandma and take care of yourself. Daddy will take care of the rest."
Ming Juanjuan wanted to cry but had no tears. She reluctantly turned into a wisp of white smoke and went into the talisman.
Ming Zhaoyuan was so heartbroken that his once lively and intelligent daughter had now become a wronged ghost.
What did he do wrong? Why did the Ming family torture his wife and daughter like this? Torture him? A good life was ruined just like that.
My father is simply a devil. I can't bear to see him live a good life for a few years.
After coming out of the private room on the third floor and returning to his own room, Ming Zhaoyuan felt so dizzy that he didn't even know how he got back.
He sat there quietly for a long time, crying silently. Thinking of his wife living in fear with the devil every day, he felt heartbroken.
He sat there until it was dark, then he calmed himself down and slowly got up and went back to Ming's house.
The Ming family is very large and has many people. The side branches, clan branches, and main branches basically all live together, occupying a large area of mountain land.
The main branch lives at the foot of the mountain, the side branches live on the sides of the mountain, and some people live halfway up the mountain.
Behind the bamboo forest is a mountain, where my father raised a demon.
It doesn’t matter what kind of gods, demons or monsters he raises, as long as they don’t hurt his wife and daughter. He doesn’t want to ask about it.
Yet his father killed his wife and daughter, knowing full well that they were his lives, and he did not hesitate, showing that he did not take his life seriously.
The carriage brought him to the door. As soon as he got off, the doorman told him, "Fifth Master! The master is waiting for you in the study. Please go to the study to see him as soon as you come back."
"oh!"
He agreed, walked into the door without saying a word, and turned to go to his father's study.
You don't have to guess what his father wants him to do. He must want him to marry the fourth daughter of the Yue family who divorced and returned home.
It has not been half a year since his wife disappeared and his father mentioned it once, but he did not agree. It seems that he will have to force him to agree this time.
The fourth daughter of the Yue family, Yue Zhenzhen, married the son of a tribal leader. The two had different personalities and often fought.
Yue Zhenzhen relied on the fact that she was the eldest daughter of the Yue family and was arrogant and domineering. She acted like a spoiled child, was disrespectful to her parents-in-law, and was unfriendly to her aunts and uncles. She did whatever she wanted. The couple would fight whenever they disagreed, and the fight became a big mess.
It has been three years since I finally divorced and returned home.
How ridiculous, he tried his best to make money for his father, but his father was scheming for his position as the legitimate wife. Did he think that without Jiang, he would have the right to arrange his own marriage?
If that were true, why would he work so hard to earn money for the Ming family?
When they arrived at the study, Ming Hui, the head of the Ming family, was reading a book. Ming Zhaoyuan was standing outside the door, staring at him for a few breaths, then went in and saluted him.
"Father calls his son here, is there something wrong?"
The head of the Ming family put down the book in his hand and asked coldly, "How have you considered letting you marry the fourth daughter of the Yue family?"
Ming Zhaoyuan sneered in his heart, but showed an embarrassment on his face. He said nothing and just stood there quietly.
"Say something! Are you mute?"
After waiting for a while and getting no answer, the head of the Ming family became very angry. He walked up to Ming Zhaoyuan and pointed at him.
"Look at you, you look so bitter and resentful. Who are you showing this to? Your aunt is gone, so I, as your father, have to worry about your marriage."
Ming Zhaoyuan: "......"
You're worried about me? I think you have bad intentions. My wife was doing well at home, but because of your ambition, you kidnapped her and sent her to take care of that demon.
His son remained silent, and the head of the Ming family looked even darker: "Don't look down on the fourth girl of the Yue family. She has been divorced and has a bad temper, but she loves you."
"She is in love with me? How is that possible?" Ming Zhaoyuan sneered, "She is the legitimate daughter of the Yue family, and I am the illegitimate son of the Ming family. The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children has always been clear, so how can she be in love with her son?
Let's forget it, shall we? My son is already grown up, so I won't delay the Fourth Miss of the Yue Family. Father! I don't agree with this marriage."
"Asshole!"
The head of the Ming family was extremely angry and raised his hand to hit Ming Zhaoyuan. But after thinking it over, he let him go. After all, he still had to rely on him to earn money for the Ming family.
If you hit him, you will lose his face and make him alienated from you.
This son was actually more capable than his four legitimate sons. He was a good businessman and managed the Ming family's business in an orderly manner.
He also developed a lot of new industries. The three states and six prefectures will soon be returned to Dongsheng. The Ming family will lose a lot of money as a result, and all of this will have to be squeezed back by him.
It was good to turn stone into gold, but the deadline was only one year. The gold that he had used all means to sneak into the treasury would be exposed. Fortunately, he had done a good job of concealing it, and no one would find out that the gold came from the Ming family.
To be honest, I have to thank my fifth son for this. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known that the trick of turning stone into gold was fake and had a time limit.
"Yes, my son is indeed a bastard." Ming Zhaoyuan admitted stubbornly, "I don't want to marry again in this life. I just want to put all my energy into the Ming family." Destroying you is my only wish from now on.
The head of the Ming family looked at his son, then sighed and softened his attitude: "Father knows that you have deep feelings for Jiang, but she has disappeared, and she will probably never come back, so why do you have to wrong yourself?
"As the son of the Ming family, am I going to remain a virgin for the daughter of a merchant? Wouldn't that make people laugh?"
Joke? What kind of joke is this?
Ming Zhaoyuan felt that what his father said was a joke. He was the one who kidnapped the people and did the good things he did, but he was treated like a fool by others.
What is missing? Why is he missing? Doesn't he know? How dare he say that?
He really despised what his father did.
"The fourth daughter of the Yue family admires your ability very much. She has told her father several times that she would marry you if she wanted to." The head of the Ming family persuaded Ming Zhaoyuan earnestly, "The head of the Yue family agreed. The fourth daughter's dowry must be more magnificent than when she first got married."
Ming Zhaoyuan smiled bitterly, and then asked in return: "Father, are you planning to sell your son for a good price? I am in charge of the Ming family's assets, would I care about a woman's dowry?
How much gold and silver has flowed through my hands? Is my son the kind of person who is blinded by money? My son just doesn't want to delay Miss Yue Si's youth, so he should refuse it! "
"You, how can you be so stubborn?" The head of the Ming family was so angry at his son that he gritted his teeth, "Don't you understand? The Yue family doesn't just want to marry a fourth girl in, they want to form an alliance with our Ming family.
The Ming family needs to form a marriage alliance with the Yue family. You have to marry the fourth girl whether you want to or not. You have already sent out your engagement letter, and the wedding date is set for the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month."
