Jiang Pengyue was so dizzy and disoriented from the beating that she felt dizzy and disoriented.

Her belly started to show, but Zhou Xiangqun hadn't returned since the wedding. The rent for the courtyard had expired, but fortunately Yang Mei had given her some money, which was enough to make ends meet.

She wasn't exactly living a life of luxury in the Jiang family, but she had someone to take care of her meals and wash her clothes. All she had to do was receive an education and learn how elites managed their households; she didn't have to worry about anything else.

She could still tolerate trying to please Lao Zhou and Yang Mei.

But as she struggled to sleep each night, working tirelessly with no end in sight, she felt an unprecedented pain and despair.

After much anticipation, her husband returned and immediately began to question Xu Manzhi.

This can be described as killing someone by destroying their spirit.

“What does her marriage have to do with me? You know that we have nothing to do with each other anymore,” Jiang Pengyue said tearfully.

Zhou Xiangqun slapped him again.

He said with a look of disdain, "Since you didn't get the invitation and can't do anything for me, then let's get a divorce. Bring your household registration book with you. I'm not ashamed. As for the child, if I want to have one, why should I be afraid of not having a woman to give birth to it for me? Besides, who knows if the child in your belly is my son?"

Last time, Jiang Pengyue said she had consulted an old Chinese medicine doctor and that she was pregnant with a boy.

He was somewhat looking forward to it.

But that was because she was his mistress!

The wife is different.

"Zhou Xiangqun, are you even human? I lied to you, but you were also up to no good to me, using both coaxing and deception. We're both equally guilty. As for divorce, forget about it. I won't agree to it." Jiang Pengyue suddenly looked up, her face fierce.

She looks just like the wife in my dream.

He had the illusion that he had been struck by a dream.

A sense of levitation washed over him. In his panic, he grabbed Jiang Pengyue's hair and slammed her head against the wall, his eyes red and his lips blue.

Blood flew into his eyes.

A sense of vengeful pleasure welled up inside him.

"They're hitting someone! They're killing someone! Help!"

Jiang Pengyue roared suddenly, startling Zhou Xiangqun, but also activating an indescribable sense of pleasure in his heart.

He has found a new direction.

"What happened?"

Upon hearing questions from outside, Zhou Xiangqun fled.

When Jiang Pengyue woke up again, she was in the hospital.

"Holding up the moon—"

The shouts came, and she flinched, instinctively raising her hand to block, only to hear Gu Tongkai's voice: "It's me, Grandpa."

Gu Tongkai received a call from the hospital. He didn't want to come, but he was worried that someone would report him for being heartless, so he had no choice but to come and see.

The scene was too horrific.

Jiang Pengyue's head and face were covered in blood, a large chunk of her hair had been torn out, and her sleeves were ripped. She was still tightly protecting her stomach...

At that moment, he had the illusion that he was being used as a pretext for betrayal.

They were hoping that Jiang Pengyue would marry into the Zhou family and become a powerful figure for the Gu family.

His small goal has been achieved.

As expected, the Zhou family made arrangements everywhere, and Qingshu was promoted. However, the Zhou family also published a notice in the newspaper severing their father-son relationship with Zhou Xiangqun, completely breaking off relations.

He hadn't expected that Jiang Pengyue, who was forced into marriage, would be abused like this.

The neighbors said that the person who assaulted the man was Zhou Xiangqun.

This was completely unexpected.

“Since you two can’t make it work, you should get a divorce. Why force yourselves to stay together? He doesn’t have a place for you in his heart. You should wake up,” Gu Tongkai said.

Jiang Pengyue remained silent, as still as snow.

She seemed not to hear a word her grandfather said, and suddenly grabbed Gu Tongkai's arm, asking, "Is my child still alive? I want to have a son, to make this beast furious—"

One thought can turn you into a demon.

She had no way back.

Even if it means death, I'll drag Zhou Xiangqun down to hell with me.

The thought came from who knows where.

But once it took shape, she became obsessed, determined to achieve her goal.

"Why."

Gu Tongkai sighed.

After giving a few instructions, he said, "Xu Manzhi and Yan Lin are going to have their wedding. She will be marrying from the home of Regiment Commander Yan in the military region. The mayor and the secretary will be attending. It's truly a grand and wonderful occasion."

A noblewoman raised by a noble family is not as good as a girl raised by peasants.

Satire.

He never expected this.

Jiang Pengyue bit her lip until it bled, her eyes defiant as she said, "The one who laughs last laughs best. I'm pregnant with Zhou Xiangqun's son. Once the child is born, even if my in-laws sever ties with their son, they will still take care of their grandson."

What unrealistic dreams are you having?

Gu Tongkai suddenly realized that he was talking to a brick wall.

Jiang Pengyue has really gone mad.

She still cares about the Zhou family.

Are Lao Zhou and Yang Mei easy targets to fool?

They're very shrewd.

On the one hand, he severed ties with his son, and on the other hand, he secretly coaxed the Gu family, clearly wanting them to take care of Zhou Xiangqun. However, he did not want to cause trouble, so he used a decisive method to control the group of people in Haicheng.

"I can't be bothered to talk to you. Now that you're awake, I'm leaving."

Gu Tongkai left after he finished speaking.

Jiang Pengyue didn't want to waste money, so she turned around and left the hospital.

When she returned to the courtyard, she saw a familiar figure in the distance. Just as she was about to hide, a sudden thought flashed through her mind, and an evil idea took root.

"You've arrived."

Xu Guidao turned around and saw Jiang Pengyue wrapped in gauze. He was surprised, but the next second his eyes turned gloomy and he said accusingly, "You are Jiang Pengyue, our biological daughter. What else do you have to say?"

He said he would report Jiang Pengyue for abandoning her if she didn't give him money.

Jiang Pengyue looked around.

Seeing that Xu's mother, Qi Jin, was not there, he stepped forward and said affectionately, "Dad, I was wrong before. I didn't recognize your greatness. You wanted money, right? I can give it to you, but this money doesn't come easily. You have to do something for me, and then you'll enjoy endless wealth in the future..."

"real?"

Xu Guidao's eyes lit up.

He excitedly shouted, "Go on, go on!"

"Come inside with me, and I'll explain everything to you slowly—"

Jiang Pengyue led Xu Guidao into the house.

**

When no one was around, Xu Manzhi turned around and entered the space.

She discovered something amazing.

Thundercloud Orb is evolving!

In derivatives.

Not only has the area increased, but it has also sprouted many fuzzy flowers and grasses, birds, beasts, insects, and fish...

But each upgrade requires her to master a new skill.

For example, once she has mastered a certain medicine in her mind after learning medicine, a medicinal field will appear in her mind, filled with that medicine.

Learn how to prepare blood-activating and stasis-removing pills, and your medicinal field will be full of Panax notoginseng.

Learn how to make snake ointment, and your space will become a venomous animal garden...

She was incredibly excited.

At one point, I wished I could replicate Zhang Dayong's medical skills, toxicology, and incense techniques in one go.

She suppressed her greed.

Everything has a spirit.

Don't rush things.

For every additional medicinal field that appeared, another type of poison appeared in the space. She would personally make large quantities of ointments, process medicinal materials, and hoard them like crazy.

She had a premonition.

One day, these things will come in handy.
