Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuxue's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"It's all because Princess Shouguang is incompetent. Not only did I receive tremendous benefits, but my two older brothers will also inherit this huge family business in the future. Unlike the eldest son, who is crazy and useless, a mother like Mother is the one who truly plans for her children."
Lady Wei sneered: "Yes, it's not that I'm malicious, it's that Princess Shouguang is incompetent. If she has anyone to blame, it's only herself for being useless."
Upon hearing footsteps, Madam Wei immediately stopped speaking and gestured to Jiang Shuxue.
"who."
She and her daughter talked about their innermost thoughts in the room, leaving no one in the main hall outside.
The long-term plan is about to succeed; we can't afford to fail at the last minute.
The footsteps stopped outside the main hall, and a voice said cautiously, "Madam, it's me."
"Peach, come in."
Taozi was a confidante of Lady Wei. She was assigned to serve Princess Shouguang in her early years, and over the years, Taozi has helped her accomplish many things.
Taozi entered the inner room and saw Jiang Shuxue sitting in front of the dressing table, leisurely playing with a hairpin, while Madam Wei stood to the side, applying floral yellow powder to her daughter's forehead.
It was truly a harmonious and happy mother-daughter relationship, a situation that Princess Shouguang could never hope to achieve in her entire life.
“Madam, Princess Shouguang seemed a little off when she got up just now.”
"What's wrong with it?" Jiang Shuxue asked.
"He seemed distracted, as if he had suffered some kind of shock and his spirit had completely collapsed."
“That’s normal. A dying person is weak and prone to nightmares.” Mrs. Wei didn’t take it to heart.
"Mother, I'm a little worried. We haven't received the dowry yet. What if Princess Shouguang dies prematurely? Her dowry will have to be handed over to the public treasury, and I'm afraid I won't get it all." Jiang Shuxue said with some concern.
Mrs. Wei's expression turned serious, and she muttered, "It seems the drug was administered a bit too aggressively."
"Peach, reduce the amount of food added to Princess Shouguang's daily diet. It was a bit risky to plan to kill her after a month. Now we can give her two months of extra time. Don't ruin her prematurely."
"Yes." Peach went out.
"Mother, I still want to go and see her." Jiang Shuxue said, "I'll pretend to care and say a few words to put Princess Shouguang at ease, so she won't overthink things and feel that her daughter is not close to her, which is not good for her health."
She looked at Madam Wei as she spoke, afraid that Madam Wei might have objections.
Madam Wei nodded: "She is going to die, but she has to die at the right time. Shuxue, you need to make your act more convincing. After all, from Princess Shouguang's perspective, you were indeed too cold to her earlier."
Jiang Shuxue rolled her eyes: "Fine. Why am I cold to her? She's not my mother. The position of the legal wife should have belonged to my mother, but she insisted on marrying my father and taking everything that belonged to my mother. What she's suffering now isn't even a tenth of what she owes for her sins."
Ms. Wei wore a faint smile and offered no explanation.
In fact, Jiang Zhongmao's marriage to Princess Shouguang was partly due to her instigation; what she coveted was Princess Shouguang's incredibly valuable dowry.
When Jiang Shuxue marries into the Zhong family, even if she keeps 20% of the dowry, it will still be something that many wealthy families could only dream of for eight lifetimes.
It's fair to say that it's a win-win situation for both mother and daughter. This game has been going on for almost twenty years, and it's been incredibly worthwhile.
Qiao Lian'er sighed upon hearing this. Indeed, the filth of wealthy and powerful families was unbearable. Only by going deep into their homes could one truly feel even a fraction of it.
This is a huge bombshell.
As she was heading to Princess Shouguang's courtyard, the old nanny beside Madam Wei asked, "Madam, the bastard child has been raised in the Qiao family for a while and his health has almost recovered, but he has suddenly disappeared. Could it be that the Qiao family has secretly hidden him somewhere? What if the bastard child remembers something? I'm afraid it will be bad for you, Madam."
