Spring 1952

Lucheng Capital Jiangfu

"Jiang Wei, you have to marry her even if you don't want to. She is your mother Xiaoyan. It was you who competed with Xiaoyan for nutrients in the womb, which caused her to be weak as soon as she was born. She can only be fed by ginseng and bird's nest.

In the past, the Gu family was well-dressed and well-fed. Xiaoyan could still eat ginseng and bird's nests after she married into the Gu family. Now that they have taken the wrong path, not only will they be exiled to the countryside, but Gu Da is also vomiting blood and is not only a sickly person, I don't want Xiaoyan to become a widow after she marries into the Gu family."

The emotionless words made Jiang Wei open her eyes suddenly, and in front of her was an antique Chinese-style hall.

There are two pear blossom chairs with exquisite carvings, and sitting on them are a middle-aged couple wearing a black Zhongshan suit and a black cheongsam with gold edges respectively.

They were Yuan Yu's parents, Jiang Dahai and Shen Peirong.

The one being comforted by Shen Peirong holding her hand was Jiang Yan, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Yuan Yu's twin sister.

Speaking of twins, Jiang Wei glanced at the biased Shen Peirong sarcastically, and then his eyes rested on the jade pendant on Jiang Yan's neck.

Jiang Yan stopped wiping her tears and pressed the jade pendant guiltily.

Chen Peirong didn't like the way her little daughter looked at her, "Jiang Wei, it was my idea to let you marry in place of Xiaoyan, why are you glaring at her?"

She didn't like her little daughter who was sent to the countryside when she was young. She asked her to return to the city just to replace Xiaoyan and marry the dying sickly man of the Gu family.

"Oh~" Jiang Wei deliberately dragged out the last word.

At the beginning, Shen Peirong gave birth to her first child very quickly. However, when she gave birth to her first child, she suffered a difficult delivery due to the overdevelopment of her first child. She could no longer have children.

As the head mother of the family, Shen Peirong could not have a son. She blamed all the mistakes on the original mother.

It happened that a fortune teller said that Yuan Yi's fate was to bring disaster to his father, mother and sister, but the eldest daughter, Jiang Yan, was holding a jade in her mouth. If he stayed away from the young lady, his family would be smooth and his father would have good luck.

Jiang Dahai and Shen Peirong sent the baby, who had never been fed, to the countryside without a second thought and found a random family to foster him.

Yuan Yu's adoptive parents... let's not talk about them.

Jiang Dahai was furious when he saw his little daughter was so unruly. "This wild girl from the countryside doesn't know any manners. Jiang Wei, how can you talk to your mother in this tone?"

Shen Peirong felt better when she saw that the master spoke for her.

Over the years, she always felt sorry for not giving him a son, but he did not despise her for it. Instead, he cultivated Xiaoyan with all his heart and found the eldest son of Chief Gu to be his son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Chief Gu did something wrong and was about to be demoted to the countryside. She could only let Jiang Wei, who was fostered in the countryside, return to the city and let Xiaoyan marry the sickly man of the Gu family.

"Father, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt. My sister is used to being straightforward and free, so it's understandable that she has no feelings for mother.

If it really doesn’t work, let me get married. I’m weak and it doesn’t matter if I die sooner or later. Cough, cough, cough…” Jiang Yan said as she coughed up bright red blood.

"Oh my dear, why are you vomiting blood again? You must be mad at Jiang Wei.

My dear, stop talking nonsense and drink the soup. This is the ginseng chicken soup that your mother specially asked the kitchen to make for you." Chen Peirong quickly rubbed her back and fed her the soup herself.

Jiang Yan gave Jiang Wei a smug look without leaving a trace.

Jiang Wei responded with a big nose. Looking at the deep love between mother and daughter, she almost died of laughter.

“Oh, Master, the eldest daughter cannot marry.

Not to mention the hardship of life in the countryside, just talking about Gu Da who can spit out two bowls of blood in one breath, I heard that he is a bloodthirsty person and eats human flesh, so the young lady can't marry him... Oh my God, this is going to kill the young lady."
