Chapter 84: It's Wrong to Breathe Next to Him

Lu Xinran never thought that a scumbag could be so shameless.

He forced his wife to death, and on the day of her death, he had an affair with his mistress all night long.

Afterwards, he used his own daughter as a threat to force his father-in-law to give up investigating the cause of Yun's death.

She closed her eyes, and a wave of suffocation in her heart almost swallowed her up.

In her previous life, due to physical reasons, she had no chance to fall in love, let alone get married. She lived such a simple life that she never thought about the evil of human nature, that it could be so evil.

She continued to flip through the stories of several people mechanically, and then continued to watch mechanically.

【Zhao Jingtian never thought about why Yun died suddenly. Perhaps he had a vague feeling in his heart that Yun's death was strange.】

[But he didn't care and was too lazy to investigate. He just thought that she died a good death, died at the right time, and would no longer be a nuisance to him. ]

[In his eyes, Yun's family was the only shame for him and the Rong Enbo Mansion. With her death, the stain on their mansion was wiped out.]

[Tao didn't expect that she would be able to proceed so smoothly. In the second month after Yun's death, she found two fake Taoist priests and gave them a lot of money, asking them to find a way to meet Zhao Jingtian on the street.]

[She also told the fake Taoist priest some of the things she knew about Zhao Jingtian. The fake Taoist priest played tricks on Zhao Jingtian and convinced him that he was a hermit.]

[Tao asked the fake Taoist priest to tell him that his eldest son would be the Wenquxing Star who would bring prosperity to the Bo Mansion and would definitely help the Bo Mansion rise to a higher level in the future.]

[He also said that good news would come within the year, that the pregnant woman next to him was the mother of his eldest son, and the true mistress of the Earl's Mansion.]

【Zhao Jingtian believed the fake Taoist priest's words without a doubt. After she was almost ready, Tao kept taking medicine to induce pregnancy. Only half a year after Yun passed away, she became pregnant again.】

[After Zhao Jingtian learned that she was pregnant, he brought the fake Taoist priest to see her and asked him whether the eldest son of Wenquxing was in Tao's belly.]

[The fake Taoist priest who had already taken advantage of Tao naturally praised her to the highest level. Zhao Jingtian was so frightened by the two that he tried to persuade Qi to marry her back to the Marquis's mansion.]

[How ridiculous! He treated Yun, a girl from a wealthy family, like a piece of straw, while he praised Tao, who was born into a skinny family, to the sky and even stopped going to Zuichunlou for her.]

[When a man is unfeeling, even breathing next to him is wrong.]

The more Lu Xinran watched, the more depressed she became. She felt like she had been caught off guard and witnessed a human tragedy.

And yet, such tragedies may still be happening one after another.

Zhao's tears were almost dry. She suddenly stood up and knocked over the stool. She was about to run out like a madman, but someone grabbed her.

Zhao was crying so hard that her body was shaking. Several of her friends held her and patted her on the back to comfort her, signaling her to wait until her cries were completely over before going upstairs to look for Tao.

The sound of the stool falling to the ground spread into the next room, bringing the dazed Lu Xinran back to his senses.

She didn't know why the room suddenly became quiet and everyone had a heavy expression on their faces.

But she really had no mood to joke with them at this moment. Yun's experience made her feel like she was in the ocean, and the emotions in her heart were as suffocating as if she was drowning.

She gasped for a few times before regaining consciousness and reading the system again.

[After Tao successfully married into the Bo family, she successfully won over Qi by relying on her skills and the baby in her belly.]

[Qi, who was as vicious as a devil in front of Yun, treated Tao like her own daughter, always thinking of her, and even regarded Zhao Jizhen as her own daughter. ]

[Tao Shi still had some sense of shame and knew that Zhao Jizhen's identity as a concubine's daughter should not be exposed, so she would rather let her become an adopted daughter of the Bo family.]

[She just owed her daughter a lot of status, so she put a lot of thought into her material needs and training.]

[She found a nanny from the palace to take care of Zhao Jizhen, and also found the best female tutor in the capital, and vowed to raise her into a noble lady praised by everyone.]

[As for Zhao's daughter, born to her first wife, she wanted to poison her to death countless times, but she needed a good reputation and a reputation for being kind and generous, so that she could gain a firm foothold in the circle of noble ladies in the shortest possible time.]

【Since she couldn't kill Zhao, she decided to make her useless.】

[If you don't like to read and learn, then don't go to school. A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. The eldest daughter of the Earl's Mansion doesn't need to learn these things.]

[If practicing the piano is too hard, then just put the piano art aside. The eldest daughter of the Bo family does not need to learn these things to please others. ]

[She taught Zhao everything she had learned in the building, hoping to see frivolous and flattering behavior from her.]

[Unfortunately, Zhao was stupid, blind and incompetent, and could not learn anything she taught him.]

[After testing her many times, Tao found that she was indeed stupid and not pretending, so she felt relieved and put all her energy into taking care of her children.]

【Zhao family...】

Her inner voice paused here for a long time, and when everyone thought that this heavy melon had been eaten, her sigh appeared again.

[It can be said that fools have good fortune. If she wasn't so stupid, she wouldn't have been able to grow up safely and live to get married.]

[Her marriage with Lu Kangde was arranged by Yunhua's wife before he left Beijing and asked her grandmother to agree to it.]

【Ms. Zhao knew from a young age that she would marry Lu Kangde when she grew up, so she never worried about her marriage.】

[At that time, Lu Jinchuan was not yet the Minister of State or the Minister of the Inner Court, but was just an ordinary fourth-rank official. This marriage was not acceptable to Tao.]

[She had always thought that as long as she nurtured Zhao Jizhen well and made her behave like a lady from a rich family, she would be able to find a good marriage for her daughter.]

[As a result, when they both grew up and were looking for a husband for their daughter, she found that no matter how much effort she put in, no matter how outstanding her daughter was, the people in Beijing still looked at her family background.]

[Her precious daughter was only an adopted daughter of the Bo family, so she couldn't get close to any of the young talents she liked.]

【Only then did she realize what a good marriage Yunhua had arranged for Zhao.】

[She tried her best to hint to her grandmother, both openly and secretly, to change the candidate for marriage to Zhao Jizhen, but her grandmother ignored her from beginning to end. On the day when the marriage was finally decided, she smashed all the furnishings in the room to the ground.]

[Having long forgotten his skinny origins, Tao now had the thought of destroying Zhao.]

[However, Yun Hua, who had already found out the cause of his daughter's death, rushed to the capital with his son. In the name of reunion, he invited Zhao to stay at the Yun family for a while, and sent the maid who drugged Yun to Tao.]

[This is how Zhao's life was saved, and her marriage was also saved.]

[The Bo family, which had swallowed up all of Yun's dowry, was unwilling to give Zhao even thirty loads of dowry when she got married.]

[Yunhua still gritted her teeth and collected a dowry of 128 kg for her, allowing her to marry in style and live a life of luxury as the first lady of the Lu family for many years.]

[Yun Hua died not long after returning to Shu. His son Yun Qiong sold all the family property and changed his name and never came to the capital again.]

The Yun family, once a benevolent business family, was doomed to a tragic ending the moment it was targeted by the Rong En Marquis's Mansion.

However, this ending was far more tragic than Yunhua had expected.

The daughter he raised with great care died in the cannibalistic mansion of his uncle.
