Chapter 125 The Best Mother-in-law's Handbook 47
Locked up in a dilapidated courtyard in the palace, Zhu Xiaotao endured the pain of being kicked and beaten by the prince, and swallowed the cold steamed buns with tears, thinking that she had only been married into the palace for less than half a year, so how could she become so miserable now.
The marriage she had been seeking with all her heart turned out to be so fragile and vulnerable in the face of reality.
Occasionally, she would think of her previous life, when she rushed to and from get off work every day. In order to save money, she ate fast food that cost a few dollars and wore clothes that cost no more than a hundred dollars. Even so, she still could not afford to buy a house in the prosperous city.
Accidentally traveling to this ancient world, she hated herself for not being a princess or a noble lady, but a poor peasant family who could barely afford to eat. Being born in the countryside in her previous life made her unable to hold her head up in front of her boyfriend in the city. She didn't expect that she could not escape this fate even after living her whole life again.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. She worked hard to learn embroidery and earned a lot of money, but she was not so stupid as to hand over all the money and gave a dozen cents to the government every month for the sake of her body.
Later, she learned from her adoptive mother that her biological father was actually the young master of the Duke's Mansion, and she became even more ambitious.
Later, by chance, she saved the prince of the royal palace who was being hunted. Just when she was about to understand, she suddenly realized that God had made her travel through time as compensation. She became the real-life version of the peasant girl prince's consort. Unfortunately, she guessed the previous story...
In fact, in her previous life, she did start off humble but ended up rising to prominence, and eventually became the mother of the country. She and her husband, who accompanied her all the way, became a loving pair of emperor and empress that later generations talked about with relish.
Zhu Xiaotao, who didn't want to waste time in the backyard, urgently needed to see her grandmother. She had some suspicions since her grandmother's temperament changed drastically, but when her grandmother finally came up with soap, a money-making tool, she knew that her grandmother, like her, was from the future.
She was scared at that time. She would rather do nothing and stay quiet. At the same time, she was waiting to see how her grandmother, who had come forward, would be dealt with.
But she didn't expect that it would turn out like this in the end. She, a modern person who has mastered countless ways to make money, would actually want to rely on a man to realize the value of life.
Ridiculous and sad!
"Someone, someone, come! I want to see the emperor, I have something to say... Wuuwuwu..." Let me go, you bunch of stubborn ancient people, let me go...
When Zhu Xiaotao woke up again, her mouth was full of blood. She was about to open her mouth to call for help, but she found that she could not speak complete sentences. She knew that her tongue had been cut off.
She suddenly trembled with fear. Just as she was about to report her grandmother, someone lynched her. She knew that someone was warning her to watch her mouth, otherwise, her life might be in vain!
Zhu Xiaotao, who had figured it out, never dared to speak ill of others again. She covered her bleeding mouth tightly with both hands, hid in the corner of the bed, and curled up into a ball with her legs curled up.
A man in night clothes approached the carriage not far from the palace at a rapid speed and said respectfully, "Sir!"
"Solved?"
"She won't dare to speak anymore, sir, don't worry."
"In that case, thank you very much!"
"You're welcome, sir. I'll take my leave!" The man in black came and went in a hurry. The coachman raised his whip and the carriage moved slowly.
The carriage circled around and left the inner city. When it stopped in front of Zhu's house, a girl, one adult and one child, were standing at the door.
Ji Changsheng jumped off the carriage, picked up his son who was dressed like a ball, and kissed his wife's cold hand with heartache, "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me? Don't you feel cold in this heavy snow?" He said the words of blame, but his hands did not stop moving, and he kept blowing warm air into his wife's palms.
The family of three snuggled up to each other and walked all the way from the front yard to the backyard, leaving two pairs of snuggling footprints in the snow.
…
Two years later, after receiving the bad news from the people of Shande Village, Fengwu and his family returned to Shande Village in a horse-drawn carriage.
Shande Village has been continuously improving over the years, and now it is completely different from what it used to be.
The family went straight to Mr. Wang's house without stopping.
As early as a month ago, Zhu Zhenmei had been buried. Her body was hastily wrapped in a straw mat and buried in the cemetery belonging to Shande Village. Zhu Zhenmei was a married woman who was divorced by her in-laws. According to clan rules, she was not buried in the clan land. Therefore, Zhu Zhenmei's grave was only next to the clan land, so she could not be considered a wandering ghost after her death.
Zhu Zhenmei died of complications during childbirth, and the official autopsy results showed that she died of natural causes.
Although women who died in childbirth were common in this era, Feng Wu still sent someone to investigate privately at the Wang Mansion. Sure enough, Zhu Zhenmei's death was indeed the work of the Wang family. She died because of the Wang family's scheming and her own ignorance.
From the old woman who took care of Zhu Zhenmei during her pregnancy, we learned that during Zhu Zhenmei's pregnancy, the Wang family deliberately raised the baby in Zhu Zhenmei's belly too big. Zhu Zhenmei was a country girl and had no idea about these secret methods. In addition, this person was lazy and loved to enjoy himself, which led to his own death.
According to this explanation, the government could not convict the Wang family. They could get away with it by saying that everything was done for the good of the pregnant woman. Feng Wu also had no intention of avenging Zhu Zhenmei.
This is the path she chose herself, and she will finish it even if she has to crawl on her knees.
After all, the Wang family never really took action against her. Even if they coveted the soap recipe, it was Zhu Zhenmei who took the lead. She was indeed a mean person.
To deal with a real villain, just use dirty tricks.
In order to prevent his wife from having to worry about insignificant people every day, Ji Changsheng took on the task without hesitation.
A few days later, news spread that the Wang family was robbed by a group of bandits in the middle of the night, and all the silver and money in the house and thousands of stones of grain in the granary were looted.
What's even more outrageous is that the eldest son of the Wang family was caught in the act by a dozen bandits while fooling around in a room with a man.
The Wang family has been responsible for all the entertainment news in Baipan Town these days.
The Wang family was severely damaged and its reputation was in disrepute. The old lady in the family fell seriously ill and the only grandson eloped with someone else. Mr. Wang was unable to support the family alone, and his collateral relatives took advantage of the chaos. The Wang family, which was once prominent in Baipan Town, gradually declined.
Feng Wu squatted in the flower field and ate several large melons in a row. Before going to bed at night, she pulled her husband aside to ask about the follow-up.
"...Hey, what happened to that prince who eloped?"
The man leaned against the bed, admiring the beauty by candlelight. He smiled when he heard the words, "Prince Wang's ideal husband has already run away with his private property, and he has also been sold to the Nanfeng Pavilion. From now on, there is no need to hide and conceal anything."
Feng Wu: "..." Why does she feel that the ideal husband is inseparable from her own husband?
