Jiang Yuzhu transmigrated into a book, becoming Xie Zhao's early-deceased original wife. The story begins with a bang: the original owner is on her way to commit adultery, a scheme orchestrated...
Jiang Yuzhu was skeptical about what Zhao Fendie said.
It was not until after dinner that Chen took a carriage back to the farm.
Jiang Yuzhu went to the front yard to pick someone up and complained softly, "Mom, you just arrived in Sucheng today, why didn't you accompany your daughter for dinner?"
It had been a long time since they last met, and Jiang Yuzhu had a lot to say, so she didn't have time to ask about the situation at home.
"Thank you for inviting me to dinner. I have to give you this honor."
Chen visited the Xie residence today and was welcomed by everyone in the Xie family.
When the female relatives saw her, they praised her endlessly, from the moment she entered the mansion until she left Xie's house, and they almost lost themselves in praise.
"I asked around before I came here. I heard that the Xie family's eldest sister-in-law, Sun, has a mean temper and is difficult to get along with. Why is she so polite to you?"
Chen thought that it was all related to her daughter.
In order to entertain Chen, the Xie family specially invited a chef. It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. Chen also wanted to reminisce with Shen, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
"Maybe it has something to do with Xie Wei."
As the month progressed, Jiang Yuzhu was running out of energy and didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li came to cause trouble on his own initiative. If a scumbag came to her door, she would not be polite.
In Su City, it is not yet the Li family's turn to run wild.
“No wonder.”
When Chen came to the house, the Xie family did not mention it at all, but their attitude was very sincere.
Apart from the flattery, it was clear that the Xie family genuinely wanted to make friends.
For this reason, Chen felt a little sympathetic towards Sun and sighed, "Sun loves her daughter and is grateful to you. If you put yourself in her shoes, I can understand her."
"Yuzhu, you and Yuanhe have been married for many years, haven't you ever given him anything personal?"
Chen suddenly thought of something and frowned slightly.
Jiang Yuzhu felt something was wrong and asked doubtfully, "Mom, what should I give him?"
Xie Zhao was an important official in the court. He received a monthly salary and rewards from the palace, so he had no worries about food and clothing.
Liang An has always been in charge of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
In the past, Jiang Yuzhu never worried about it and was too lazy to ask.
Chen sensed something was amiss and wanted to scold her daughter, but she couldn't bring herself to do so. So, she softly discussed with Jiang Yuzhu, "Yuzhu, why don't you make some purses and handkerchiefs for Yuanhe?"
It wouldn't be too much trouble to make it a personal item and then have the maid use it to burn incense.
"If you feel you lack energy, just embroider a simple pattern. It won't take more than a day."
It just so happened that the caravan had not left yet, so Chen gave her daughter two days.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu said reluctantly, "Mother, why does a man like Yuanhe carry so many purses and handkerchiefs?"
Buy a fake one, or find a maid to replace it, as long as the intention is there.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't like to use needles and thread, so most of the small clothes she made for the twins were made by the maids.
Having finally stopped working as a hard-working worker, she wants to enjoy the happiness of the exploiting class.
Chen observed her expression and continued to persuade her, "Yuzhu, I used to teach you to love yourself more, but now I think you are too biased."
Seeing that her daughter still didn't understand, Chen simply revealed the truth, "Yuanhe was cold to you before, and I really didn't like him. But now that I see he's devoted to you, I've changed my mind."
The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and Chen became more and more satisfied with Xie Zhao.
Apart from anything else, someone had to deal with Jiang Fulu's temper. In the past, Chen had to fight alone, but now she was optimistic about Xie Zhao.
"If you didn't send Yuanhe embroidery work, how many letters did you write to him?"
Chen asked again, and Jiang Yuzhu blinked guiltily and said perfunctorily, "Several."
"Yes, just a thin piece of paper."
Chen paused, her face a little serious. "Many times, I've seen Yuanhe secretly taking out the letters you wrote and reading them over and over again. The folds on the letters are worn away. And he keeps the purse and handkerchief you gave him with him every day, often stroking it in his hands."
Chen asked, and Xie Zhao's eyes were full of affection as he replied, "This was given by Yuzhu. It's as if she were right next to me."
Chen couldn't help feeling sad after hearing this.
The letter was indeed written by Jiang Yuzhu, but the handkerchief was a trick sent by Chen's maid to deceive people.
Xie Zhao didn't know the truth and loved her very much.
"Anyway, you're always right to listen to your mother. When a husband and wife are together, how can one person only make sacrifices?"
Chen left no room for negotiation and said directly, "The past is the past. You and Yuanhe have a son and a daughter now. You must support each other in the future."
Chen only said half of the sentence and swallowed the rest. Her age meant that she would not be able to accompany her daughter to the end.
Xie Zhao is not without flaws, but compared to other men, he is the best.
Jiang Yuzhu was incredulous and was stunned for a long time before she asked angrily, "Mom, is my daughter your biological daughter?"
After a few months of separation, Chen's attitude towards Xie Zhao changed drastically.
Jiang Yuzhu wanted to struggle, but she said dryly, "You and Daddy wrote a letter to my second brother, and it only had two words!"
"You girl, can it be the same?"
Chen was embarrassed, as she had her own way of educating her son.
More than twenty years have passed, and although Jiang Huaida and Jiang Huaiqing have not achieved much, they have not gone astray.
"Yuanhe always shows off the things you gave him. Even your father feels that he is being treated unfairly."
Jiang Fulu and Chen had different stances when it came to sending gifts.
Chen had been thinking about this all the way and persuaded her daughter to at least do her best on the surface.
Jiang Yuzhu listened for a while, then realized, "Mom, you and Dad have been deceived by Yuanhe!"
"The affection in Yuanhe's eyes is not deceptive."
Chen was very persistent. She was an experienced person and could tell at a glance whether Xie Zhao was sincere to Jiang Yuzhu.
In the past, Xie Zhao acted indifferent, and Chen did not regard Xie Zhao as a son-in-law, and it was better for them not to have any contact.
"Mom, he did it on purpose for you to see!"
Jiang Yuzhu blushed. Xie Zhao was such an introverted person that he rarely showed his emotions.
Even as his bedmate, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"Everything he showed was intentional!"
Jiang Yuzhu suspected that Xie Zhao had some ulterior motive, otherwise why would he rub his purse for no reason and have to let others see it?
The person who usually comes and goes without a trace suddenly shows up, he must have ulterior motives!
"No, you and Dad have been fooled!"
Jiang Yuzhu was furious. Xie Zhao had also learned to pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy, and it really worked against Chen.
"I am your biological daughter. Why do you sympathize with him? He didn't turn a blind eye to my daughter's life when she was a widow for three years."
Jiang Yuzhu pulled Chen's arm and acted coquettishly, feeling very jealous.
Her parents are hers, no one can take them away from her!
Chen hesitated for a moment, then thought carefully and said, "Yuanhe did do it deliberately."
"He's very cunning!"
Xie Zhao's letters were always very long because he was writing storybooks.
Jiang Yuzhu couldn't write anymore, so she just talked about her recent situation.
"Yuzhu, you need to think about this carefully. You and Yuanhe are husband and wife. He can't find the few things you gave him. And you have to go to such great lengths to calculate it. It's really not easy!"
Chen couldn't help but sigh, and her heart slightly leaned towards Xie Zhao.
Jiang Yuzhu stood there staring, her head dizzy. How could this happen?
