Her head, which was already slightly tilted, turned even further away, almost completely facing away from Xu.
His body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and his already tense jawline looked even colder and harder.
The bone-chilling cold brought by the Sang family mother and daughter seemed to still be frozen in the air of the main hall of the Yongding Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Xu was helped back to the inner room by her daughter Jiang Songyi. The anger and sorrow that she had forcibly suppressed under her dignified demeanor finally broke out and turned into bursts of heart-wrenching sobs.
She held her daughter's hand tightly, her nails almost digging into Songyi's flesh.
"Songyi...your brother...he will..." Mrs. Xu's voice broke and choked in her throat, "And the Sang family! That girl from the Sang family!" Her eyes were red, "What kind of look was that in her eyes? What did she say? She thinks she's some royal bride! Even if my son Jinzhao is disabled, she can't look down on him! If the Marquis hadn't been here, I wouldn't be..."
She couldn't continue speaking, her body shaking violently.
Jiang Songyi said nothing, but just held her mother's cold hand tighter, using her own warmth to convey silent support.
"Mother," Jiang Songyi's voice was filled with a chilled calmness, "This woman is cold-hearted and unworthy of being my match. It's a blessing that I saw through her so early."
Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes. Her daughter's calmness strangely soothed some of her boiling anger, but another deeper worry rose in her heart.
"Lucky thing? It's such a despicable person, and he's gone! But mother is really confused! Last time you were talking to me in your heart, saying that Sang Wenyin would run away with Jiang Yuyao's brother Liao Lingxi and cause some scandal! But look at this..."
She pointed outside, her voice filled with incredible anger and great confusion, "She's still here! Making trouble in my mansion! Where's the slightest sign of her trying to elope? Did I remember it wrong? Or does your 'precognition' not always work?" Xu
At this moment, Shi was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it. The scandal of Sang Wenyin that her daughter in the previous life had "predicted" did not happen as expected, which seemed to be a mockery of her great disappointment at the moment.
Jiang Songyi was startled by her mother's question. In her previous life, Sang Wenyin and Liao Lingxi's elopement had undoubtedly occurred on the eve of her and her brother's wedding, a scandal that rocked the city. Why, in this life, at this point, was there no news?
Could it be that my rebirth really triggered some unknown variables?
Just as her heart was trembling, a maidservant lowered her head and stepped in to report: "Madam, County Master, Madam Sang and Miss Sang said that since they have visited Madam, they also want to go to the study to see if the young master is well and pay their respects in person."
When Mrs. Xu heard this, the tears on her face had not yet dried, but her brows were already furrowed.
Go see Jin Zhao? Let Jin Zhao see Sang Wenyin's face right now? No way!
She was about to refuse outright, but was stopped by her daughter's look.
A strange light flashed in Jiang Songyi's eyes, and a vague thought arose: variables? Maybe it might not be what she thought?
She raised her head and said to the maid, "Please wait for a moment, Madam Sang and Miss Sang. Mother and I will change our clothes and then we will go to the study together."
Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter in confusion. Jiang Songyi only whispered, "Mother, my brother may not want to see them. But we must make this come to an end."
She needed to give up completely, also for her brother's sake.
The Sang family is using the excuse of visiting the sick as an excuse, so let them tear this hypocrisy apart completely!
When Mrs. Xu and Jiang Songyi tidied their appearance and came to the courtyard corridor leading to the study, Mrs. Sang and Sang Wenyin were already waiting in the corridor.
Mrs. Sang wore a smile that was overly warm yet tinged with a subtle hint of embarrassment. Sang Wenyin, on the other hand, frowned slightly as she stood two steps away from her mother, her side facing a clump of withered bamboo branches in the courtyard.
The wind blew, and the light blue skirt swayed slightly, making her waist look unnaturally thin. One hand unconsciously covered the front of her lower abdomen, as if to cover something.
She still had that aloof demeanor, but besides the inherent coldness and arrogance, there seemed to be an elusive hint of irritability between her brows.
Jiang Songyi's gaze fell on Sang Wenyin, and the feeling of disharmony resurfaced in her heart. Why didn't the elopement happen? Was it because the time was not right, or... was this person in front of her unable to leave at all?
Boom——!
A silent thunderclap, powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth, exploded in Jiang Songyi's mind.
It turns out that Sang Wenyin is pregnant! And the child is Liao Lingxi's!
The timing... just before my brother was seriously injured!
The amount of information was like a flood that instantly broke through Jiang Songyi's defenses, and her face turned pale in that instant.
Almost at the same time, Xu suddenly stopped.
When Xu was helped up by her maid, she drank a sip of hot tea to save face. Now, she could no longer bear the impact of this earth-shattering secret. With a "plop", all the scalding tea in her mouth splashed out, looking extremely embarrassed.
The tea dripped down her chin and collar, and even sprayed directly onto the skirt of Mrs. Sang who was a little closer.
"Mom!" Jiang Songyi suddenly came back to his senses, and supported his mother who was choking and coughing violently and in a mess, his heart pounding.
Oops!
"Ah!" Madam Sang was so startled by the scalding hot tea and Xu's sudden loss of composure that she jumped up and hurriedly moved away. She looked down at the dark brown tea stain on her delicate skirt with distressed eyes. She looked at the panting Xu with shock and suspicion: "Madam Hou! You...what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Even Sang Wenyin, who had been standing sideways, was startled by the chaotic commotion and turned around in surprise.
When her gaze fell on Xu's awkward and choking appearance, her beautiful eyes instantly flashed with undisguised contempt and disgust - the wife of the Marquis of Yongding was so rude and disrespectful!
