Jiang Pengyue sat upright, motionless.
Through the red veil, she saw a rose-red bouquet on the bed...
The veil swayed back and forth.
Her chest heaved violently as an indescribable hatred, anger, and resentment surged through her, one wave after another. She managed to hold back from picking a fight with Xu Xiaofeng, but then Gu Jiajia suddenly appeared... only to be met with the most unfortunate Xu Manzhi.
I sat on the bed all night, plus half a morning.
She got up early to draw her eyebrows and apply powder. After putting on her red lipstick, she didn't eat a single thing for a whole day and night. Filled with anticipation, joy and hope for the future, no matter how hungry or angry she was, she kept herself steady and didn't get out of bed.
It is appropriate to send flowers to the deceased on a joyous occasion!
How can I tolerate this?
Jiang Pengyue stood up abruptly, kicked the bouquet to the ground, her hands trembling. She could no longer hold back, ripped off the veil, rushed to Xu Manzhi, and growled in a low voice, "Xu Manzhi, do you have a heart?"
Before the other party could answer, she was filled with grief and indignation.
“Xu Manzhi, I know you are a blood relative of the Jiang family and have always looked down on me, the adopted daughter. But I have lived in the Jiang family for over 20 years. My parents and three brothers have loved and cared for me. Just because you came, do you think I should leave? Why should I?”
"They are my parents, and my brother—"
"The day you were abandoned, you should have accepted your fate and not come back; that was the right choice."
Thinking back to the past, to those carefree days under the sun, she was once a simple, happy little girl who had never hurt or lied to anyone...
She is sunny and pure.
The future is promising.
Everything changed after Xu Manzhi returned to the Jiang family. She was ruined by her so-called biological children and lost everything!
“You should never have come back. Neither the Jiang family nor the Gu family wants you to appear. You are completely superfluous and should be hiding in the gutter to rot.”
"Let me tell you, I hate you, I hate you to death. If you try to ruin my happy life and prevent me from marrying Xiang Qun, I will become a vengeful ghost to take revenge on you."
Jiang Pengyue was filled with a fierce and ruthless aura.
Even though it was a "dream" initiated by a strange person, Xu Manzhi was brought back with nothing. On a dark day, she was sent to the Yan family, and there was no more word from her after that.
She couldn't understand how reality had completely changed.
Xu Manzhi truly fulfilled her grandfather's prophecy... She destroyed the Jiang family.
"If you didn't like these paper flowers, you should have said so earlier. I could have taken them back and returned them." Xu Manzhi picked up the bouquet from the ground and pinched her nose with a helpless expression.
She never expected that Jiang Pengyue hated her so much.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
"Xu Manzhi!" Jiang Pengyue trembled with anger.
She didn't know if the other person was genuinely stupid or pretending; their words and actions were extremely strange, sometimes frightening, but sometimes baffling, making it impossible to understand their bizarre behavior.
"Alright, I'm here to wish you well, not to ruin your wedding. It's a joyous occasion, so be sure to be happy. After all, you're carrying twins and will be a mother soon. Getting angry all the time could lead to a miscarriage," Xu Manzhi said.
She smelled two odors emanating from Jiang Pengyue's stomach.
It must be twins.
To be honest, Jiang Pengyue has been quite lucky.
In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, humans gradually lost their ability to reproduce. The people in the castle relied on artificial wombs, which, through genetic coding, eliminated inferior offspring and only conceived super babies with exceptional abilities.
Old Xu said, "Manzhi, if you meet your own MHC and choose the traditional way of human continuation, you might be able to give birth to a super baby. That is the real hope for humanity."
She's going to get pregnant with twins in one go... Aww, that would be so incredibly blissful!
We're doomed.
She really wanted to jump straight to having a baby with Yan Lin.
"What did you say? Nonsense! The old Chinese medicine doctor didn't say it was twins last time." Jiang Pengyue didn't believe Xu Manzhi's nonsense. She wasn't a doctor; she couldn't see through Xu Manzhi's belly with her naked eye.
"I don't know, I was just saying. I just went to see your second brother, he's already been taken to the execution ground, he'll be executed around 12 o'clock, I just wanted to let you know," Xu Manzhi said.
"you--"
"Aaaaaah, Xu Manzhi, are you even human? Why are you so cruel? You know I'm having a big celebration today, yet you insist on humiliating me so you can feel better, right? You're not just getting revenge on the Jiang family, you just hate me and want to see me make a fool of myself!" Jiang Pengyue was furious.
Everyone knows that Jiang She was executed today.
But everyone, including Gu Tongkai, shared the same attitude and tacitly kept quiet about it, as if as long as they didn't tear off this fig leaf, they could feel at ease as if nothing had happened.
Xu Manzhi insisted on bringing it up.
She just opened her mouth and said it without any regard for the consequences.
She's got a sharp tongue.
Every casually uttered word is like a saw, mercilessly tearing one's heart apart.
"No, I'm here to offer my congratulations, Zun Du Zun Du," Xu Manzhi said innocently.
The more she acted this way, the angrier Jiang Pengyue became.
"Go away, I never want to see you again, go away!" Jiang Pengyue shouted.
"All right."
Xu Manzhi awkwardly tossed her braid, took the red flower, and climbed out the window.
Feeling unlucky, Jiang Pengyue took out a towel and wiped the places where Xu Manzhi had stood clean before returning to bed and covering her head with the veil again.
The room fell silent again.
After Xu Manzhi came out of the bridal chamber, she threw the red flower into her spatial storage. Before she even left the courtyard, she heard the crackling sound of firecrackers outside.
She thought for a moment, then took out a piece of colored spice from her spatial storage, crushed it into powder, dissolved it in water, and mixed it into a black paste, which she then applied directly to her face.
A light shines on the water's surface.
