Liao frowned slightly and averted her gaze. However, at this moment, this was not the most pressing matter. "Yuyao, what exactly happened at your father's house? How did the life-transfer contract get cracked?"
Jiang Yuyao waved Liao Qianqian out to guard the door, then she hugged Liao's arm intimately and said softly, "Mother, this is all because of that stubborn old Yu. I didn't expect her eyesight to be so sharp that she could actually discover the secret hidden in the amulets worn by Hao Qingzhi and the others."
The old lady, who was separated by a wall, felt a little depressed and her eyes became more solemn when she heard her granddaughter, whom she had doted on for many years, cursing her behind her back.
In the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Yuyao has always kept her distance from Xu. In the past, she just thought that Jiang Yuyao did not want to disturb Xu's recuperation. Now it seems that what Jiang Songyi said is true. Jiang Yuyao has long known her life experience and colluded with her biological parents in private in an attempt to subvert the Yongding Marquis' Mansion.
When Liao heard what Jiang Yuyao said, her brows furrowed, "Yu? Was she the one who broke the life-transfer contract too?
She knew everything about Jiang Shu's family, the Yongding Marquis Mansion. How could that old woman Yu have such ability?
"It was Jiang Songyi who did it!"
"Jiang Songyi?"
Liao was even more surprised, "Why is it Jiang Songyi?"
How could an ordinary person break a life-transferring contract? Besides, Jiang Songyi had been growing up under her nose for over a decade, so Liao knew exactly how capable she was.
Jiang Yuyao also found this unbelievable. "Mother, didn't you say that even if the life-transferring contract was discovered, ordinary people couldn't destroy it? Although Yu Shi didn't tear it open, Jiang Songyi tore the contract to pieces with a single wave of her hand."
The surprise in Liao's eyes grew stronger. Suddenly, she remembered something, and her eyes became even darker. She couldn't help but whisper to herself, "Could this be the legendary Phoenix Fate?"
Jiang Yuyao couldn't hear clearly, "Mother, what are you talking about?"
"fine."
Liao lowered her head slightly, glanced at Jiang Yuyao beside her with soft eyes, and hugged her tightly with her arms, as if to pass all the warmth and protection to her.
No.
The jewel in her heart, Jiang Yuyao, is the true Phoenix Girl, destined to marry the future Supreme Being who will unite the four seas. Meanwhile, Jiang Songyi is just a lonely star, destined to be helpless and a burden to her family!
Whenever Jiang Yuyao thought back to the days when she had suffered all the injustices in the mansion because of Jiang Songyi, she couldn't help but confide her grievances to Liao: "Mother, why didn't you get rid of Jiang Songyi back then to avoid future troubles?"
Liao's eyes flashed with a cold light like a poisonous snake, "Jiang Songyi cannot die, she must live in pain."
Only if Jiang Songyi continues to live, bearing the name of the unlucky star, can Yuyao enjoy wealth and glory, becoming the mother of the world! If Jiang Songyi dies, her fate will automatically be reset.
Jiang Yuyao was indifferent to this. She thought Liao was too soft-hearted. She knew very well that only death could completely eliminate all possibilities. Torturing Jiang Songyi was far less safe than getting rid of her directly.
Liao Shi saw through Jiang Yuyao's dissatisfaction and comforted her, "Jiang Songyi was born without family affection. Even if she returns to the Marquis' Mansion, she will not be able to compete with you. You don't have to worry."
Jiang Yuyao disagreed with this. She was full of doubts in her heart. What about the weak family affection? It was okay that the sickly Xu only recognized Jiang Songyi as her daughter, but the old lady, second brother and aunt, who originally regarded her as their beloved, were now biased towards Jiang Songyi.
She felt that everything that originally belonged to her was being taken away bit by bit by Jiang Songyi.
"Mother, when can our family be reunited? I also hope to be by Father's side like Brother Yuan Xuan."
Since childhood, Jiang Yuyao envied Hao Qingzhi and others for being able to enjoy the love of their father. Although she was very much loved in the Yongding Marquis's Mansion, the Yongding Marquis was absent all year round, and he was unshaven and unkempt all day long. How could he compare with the handsome appearance of the Protector of the Country.
"Not long after. When the Yongding Marquis's Mansion collapses. Yuyao, no matter how good the Yongding Marquis' Mansion is to you, they are still a stumbling block to my reunion with your father." Liao gently stroked Jiang Yuyao's hair. Seeing her nod, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. "Jiang Shu is already seven months pregnant, right?"
Mentioning this, Jiang Yuyao couldn't help but chuckle, "Mother, Jiang Shu is now tormented by that evil fetus and has been vomiting all day. Last time, she even vomited in front of father, making him sick. She is already this old, and she still wants to give birth to a son for father. She is really shameless. Mother, you are really amazing. You gave birth to a brother in your first pregnancy. Unlike her, every other pregnancy is a daughter."
This is exactly what Liao has always been proud of, and her pride is beyond words.
With her status as the only heir to the Duke's Mansion and a daughter who shoulders the destiny of heaven, she skillfully grasped Hao Ren's heartstrings.
Liao asked, "Is she really taking the pregnancy-maintaining medicine I carefully prepared for her?"
Jiang Yuyao replied, "Indeed, she drank it. My father personally handed it to her, so how could she not drink it? Recently, she had an argument with my father over the life contract, and was taken back to the Marquis' Mansion by that immortal old Yu. I have been carefully brewing a pregnancy-preserving medicine for her."
Liao nodded slightly, a sly glint in her eyes. "Has Jiang Shu returned to the Marquisate? That's perfect! Let her unborn child be born in the Marquisate, triggering a bloody massacre. This ominous sign means the prosperity of the Yongding Marquisate will come to an end!"
As Liao spoke, she handed Jiang Yuyao an exquisite brocade bag, then whispered several secret orders into her ear.
Walls have ears. Although the old lady could not hear their specific plot clearly, she could feel that Liao was planning to use Jiang Shu's ghost fetus to harm the Marquis' Mansion. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Nanny Xi next to them also roughly understood their intention and was shocked.
No wonder the old lady wanted to stay secretly, it turns out Miss Yuyao had ulterior motives!
After the old lady quietly left through the back door, Nanny Xi followed closely behind her and whispered, "How should the old lady respond now? Should she hold off for now and return to the Marquis' Mansion to discuss countermeasures with the Marquis of Yongding?"
However, Madam Jiang just snorted coldly, left the back door, and led the waiting servants around to the front door.
At the front door of the Zen room, Liao Qianqian was dozing off like a chick pecking at rice, when she suddenly saw a group of people coming towards her in a mighty procession, and was startled.
When she recognized that the leader was the old lady who had already gone down the mountain, Liao Qianqian hurriedly stood up and wanted to inform Jiang Yuyao and Liao in the house.
However, at the old lady's glance, two servants came forward and covered her mouth.
Nanny Xi kicked open the door of the meditation room without any hesitation.
Inside the house, Liao and Jiang Yuyao, mother and daughter, who were having a long conversation, suddenly turned around and saw the old lady coming in aggressively with a group of servants.
Liao recognized the old lady of the Yongding Marquis Mansion at a glance, and her heart sank to the bottom.
Jiang Yuyao had long since learned her true identity from the Duke of Huguo, and under Hao Ren's arrangement, they had met at Rong'en Temple many years ago. Since then, Yuyao would stay at Rong'en Temple on the tenth day of every month, and they would have private conversations and express their mother-daughter love. All these years, the Marquis' Mansion was completely unaware of it.
