In early August, the city of Bianjing was filled with continuous rain and humidity.
"Zhu'er, being able to become the prince's woman and give birth to a child for him is a great blessing for you. You are my own flesh and blood. You have been living away from home for many years, so naturally I love you!"
A woman covered in jewels and gorgeous clothes sat in the main seat and said.
"Your sister is seriously ill and can't have sex. If it weren't for this, I would never have asked you to go and suffer with her."
Wen Zhu stood in the hall, staring blankly at the hem of Mrs. Wen's skirt, without saying a word.
She never expected that after such a long time, her wandering soul would return to the year when she was seventeen.
Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Madam Wen's tearful eyes flashed with impatience, and she made a direct decision: "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent. Tomorrow my sister will marry the son of the Marquis of Anguo, and you will go with her. As long as you give birth to a child for my sister, I will definitely make sure you live a peaceful and prosperous life."
After hearing this, Wen Zhu smiled faintly.
There was a gleam in her eyes, and when she looked up again, tears had already gathered in the corners of her eyes: "Mother, do you think this is true?"
Seeing this, Madam Wen's tone softened and she sighed deeply: "This matter is indeed unfair to you, but mother has no choice. Saving your sister is also saving mother."
"When you have a child, your sister will thank you. As for your adoptive parents, I will take care of them until they die. I will never let you suffer any loss."
Taking Wen Zhu's feelings into consideration, Mrs. Wen also took her adoptive parents into consideration, which can be said to be very thoughtful.
But Wen Zhu's expression remained indifferent.
In her previous life, Mrs. Wen also made the same promise.
At that time she believed it and did as she was told.
Because cicadas suffer from serious diseases, they should not be approached, otherwise their lives will be threatened.
The marriage was just around the corner, and it happened that she was found by her family at that time. The Wen family allowed her to marry into the Marquis' Mansion with Wen Chan in a concealed identity.
She suffered humiliation at Wen Chan's hands during the day and was forced to sleep with him at night.
After finally getting pregnant, she was locked up and deprived of her freedom.
Wen Chan gave her a lot of supplements, and every time someone had to watch her finish them, and she was not allowed to walk around.
As a result, when the fetus was too large and caused a difficult delivery, Wen Chan even ordered her belly to be cut open to remove the fetus!
At that time, she was too weak to struggle and could only let them cut open her body and take out the bloody child.
She later died, and her soul left her body and wandered around for unknown reasons.
Over the past few years, she first witnessed the death of her adoptive parents, who had treated her like a treasure, under the persecution of the Wen family. Then she saw Wen Chan recover her health, give birth to a child, and torture her son to death...
At that time, her child was only five years old!
Her child recognized Wen Chan as his mother, but Wen Chan actually sent someone to give such a young son to...
Taking a deep breath, Wen Zhu tried to calm himself down.
Now that God has given her a second chance, those who hurt her can’t escape!
She is going along with their wishes for now, but as for whether she will behave herself obediently or seek revenge in the future, that will no longer be something these people can control.
She sneered inwardly, but on the surface she remained calm and replied, "Okay, I believe Mother..."
As she spoke, a touching emotion appeared in her eyes, which softened Mrs. Wen's heart again. "Okay, you are tired too, go back and rest."
However, Wen Zhu did not leave as she wished, and continued, "Mother, I have lived in the countryside since I was young. I have never seen the prosperity of the capital, but there are many things I have never seen before, but—"
Wen Zhu nervously tugged at the corner of her clothes as she spoke, but her lowered eyes revealed a coldness that was completely different from her behavior.
Since you are planning to find a good home for yourself, you naturally have to make connections everywhere.
How can we do it without money?
There are also her adoptive parents who raised her with great difficulty, so she should give something in return.
Besides, the Wen family never raised her for even a single day, yet they wanted to use her as a pawn. Why?
Not to mention, things in bed are not as simple as just lying there and enjoying yourself, you also have to work hard.
Therefore, asking for money is necessary.
After hearing this, Madam Wen immediately understood what she was thinking: "Madam Zhang, go get a hundred taels."
Mrs. Wen's maiden name was Su. She came from a merchant family with a wealthy background.
Since marrying into the Minister of Works' residence, Mrs. Wen has been helping the Su family a lot, so the Su family gives her countless gold and silver every year.
These one hundred taels were nothing to her.
Nanny Zhang took the order and left. After a while, she came back with the silver note and handed it to Wen Zhu.
However, Wen Zhu's goal was far more than just the one hundred taels of silver.
She first clenched the banknote in her hand, then looked up at Madam Wen with a look of just the right amount of disappointment on her face: "It seems that in Mother's heart, my sister and I are indeed different..."
"That's right, my sister has been growing up by our mother's side, and I... I really can't compare to her..."
She looked extremely lost, and tears were almost falling, which made Mrs. Wen at a loss for what to do.
Aunt Zhang next to her reacted first and whispered, "Madam, you gave the eldest lady a token before. Did she find out?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wen suddenly understood.
Her expression suddenly became complicated.
She was a little disappointed that her daughter asked for money as soon as she got home, so vulgar.
However, she looked so pitiful, and Madam Wen still had to rely on her for work, so she smiled and comforted her: "You really think too much, this money is for your daily pocket money."
As she spoke, Madam Wen took out a delicate little token from her waist: "Since your sister has this, you must have one too, take it!"
Wen Zhu walked forward obediently.
Madam Wen smiled and handed her the token. "With this, you can access my mother's money at Zhenyuan Bank at any time. However, you can only use a maximum of three thousand taels per month, so you'd better be careful."
Hearing these words, Wen Zhu just found it funny.
I could spend three thousand taels a month, but I only wanted to give her a hundred taels...
In Mrs. Wen's heart, does she really look like a beggar?
However, since he had already obtained what he wanted, Wen Zhu no longer cared about it. He nodded obediently and turned to leave as Mrs. Wen wished.
Looking at the similar figures of Wen Zhu and Wen Chan, Mrs. Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Even I, as a mother, can't tell the difference, so it's even more impossible for the Prince of Anguo to find out.
As long as you are more careful in the future, this matter will definitely be foolproof.
Now I just hope Wen Zhu can give birth to a boy and make a contribution to the family.
In the room next to the front hall, a gorgeously dressed woman had a cold expression and stared at the departing figure with a pair of cold eyes.
He really takes advantage of the opportunity to make further progress.
"Miss, please don't be angry. She's just a peasant from the countryside. It's her honor to bear your child."
The maid Pearl saw that her master looked unhappy and hurried to comfort her.
"If I hadn't contracted this strange disease, how could it have happened to her? Once she gives birth, I will have a thousand ways to kill her."
Wen Chan looked at the receding figure indifferently and said arrogantly.
