In that way, Jiang Tian's growth would not encounter many setbacks, and Madam Cui did the best she could.
Unfortunately, nothing really goes according to plan; at least for most people, plans can never keep up with changes.
And this is exactly the kind of incident that happened to Madam Cui.
In Mrs. Cui's heart, her life was already bitter enough, but she never expected that her husband was a devil.
Mrs. Cui and her husband had a business marriage, a marriage between two families to achieve common business goals. In a sense, it was extremely stable, since they couldn't divorce, otherwise the projects of both families would collapse, which would be a heinous crime.
Divorce is not an option; it's a constraint for one party, but not for the other.
Before their marriage, Madam Cui's husband was a notorious playboy with countless lovers, including nobles and commoners.
In his eyes, any beautiful woman is worth pursuing. He himself is outstanding in appearance, has high emotional intelligence, strong work ability, and the aura of a top aristocrat is also attached to him. In short, he is top-notch in every aspect.
Because of her philandering husband, Madam Cui was surrounded by provocations, and many people hoped that she would step down from her position so that they could take her place.
For them, becoming Mrs. Cui would be the best outcome, but for Mrs. Cui, it wasn't.
Her husband, that playboy, has a ridiculous affection for her. He says she is his ideal woman, that he liked her when they were young, and that he went through many hardships to marry her. So Madam Cui doesn't need to worry; his lovers will never be able to get her into the family, and they will definitely grow old together.
Mrs. Cui felt extremely disgusted.
In fact, she didn't like her husband at all, but her family had raised her so much that when the family needed her to exchange for benefits, she wasn't allowed to beg for mercy. Otherwise, she would have to give back everything she had enjoyed.
These are some of the harsh aspects that are sometimes imposed on aristocratic women. Madam Cui had no way to voice her opinions, nor could she resist them.
No one knew that she had a very good friend before her marriage, namely Jiang Tian's mother.
Mrs. Cui is heterosexual, but she deeply understands that it is completely impossible to communicate with her future husband. It is difficult for the spiritual worlds of two different genders to merge, and no one can understand her spiritual loneliness.
Because of this, she often felt lonely.
Later, she met someone who understood her; that person was the maid in her house.
The maid was an ordinary servant, but she was able to understand what Madam Cui was saying and offer her own ideas.
On the surface, the two were master and servant, but in reality, they were already good friends.
After Madam Cui got married, she brought this good friend to the Cui family.
Unexpectedly, what she thought was a way to protect her best friend by bringing her to her husband's house turned out to be a way of bringing misfortune upon her friend.
Madam Cui's husband was a paranoid man who believed that all his women should fall in love with him, and that any woman who did not fall in love with him must have been bewitched.
But his nominal wife didn't love him and surprisingly disliked him.
After conducting some investigation, he set his sights on Jiang Tian's mother.
In order to keep Madam Cui at home as his kept woman and prevent her from causing any more trouble, he forced Jiang Tian's mother to be paired with another person after she was fired—that person was a scoundrel, but Madam Cui's husband thought he had done a good deed.
Mrs. Cui was devastated by her friend's disappearance. After searching for a long time, she finally received a phone call and found out where Jiang Tian's mother was.
Only then did she realize that it was she who had brought her to the Cui family, which had brought her nightmares and ruined her life.
At that time, Madam Cui was mentally devastated, but both families were urging them to have a child.
How can we not have children? We absolutely must have them, otherwise how can the assets of both families be combined?
They need someone to carry on their legacy.
So, Mrs. Cui's husband forced himself on her.
Their relationship completely broke down.
Madam Cui particularly hated her husband and everything about him, but she was powerless to resist.
The more she suppressed her emotions, the heavier they became, until she was neither human nor ghost.
Later, she was even tied to the bed, just to give birth to a strong baby.
She also received countless injections to control her mania.
She really suffered a lot.
Finally, Cui Linye was born.
Cui Linye's birth was the hope of both families, a symbol of some kind of destiny; he was born a chosen one.
However, Madam Cui loathed her child to the extreme; if anyone brought their child to her, she would throw them away.
Who would dare leave such a fragile child in front of a madman? In the end, the two families stopped worrying about it and found someone to take care of him.
Later, Madam Cui secretly sponsored Jiang Tian, enabling her to grow up smoothly.
When Jiang Tian was five years old, she negotiated with her husband again, and they both compromised. She planned to take Jiang Tian into her home, hoping that Jiang Tian could grow up safely and healthily, whether to make amends or for other reasons.
When Mrs. Cui's husband saw that Jiang Tian was just an ordinary little girl, he nodded indifferently.
He had no affection for Madam Cui anymore. He had completed his tasks for both families, and now, apart from managing his daily affairs, he spent his time indulging in pleasure. To him, his so-called home was not even a hotel.
Madam Cui, however, was completely satisfied.
She took good care of Jiang Tian, dressed her in beautiful dresses, and decorated her room nicely. Even though Jiang Tian was just a maid on the surface, she actually received the best treatment that Madam Cui could give her.
However, her kindness also angered one person, namely—
Cui Linye.
Cui Linye knew from a young age what kind of family he was born into. He was very intelligent and knew very well where he would end up.
But no matter how smart a child is, at a certain stage of emotional development, they still crave their parents' love and care.
He longed for his mother's love, but unfortunately, Madam Cui would vomit whenever she saw him.
She truly loathed her child; if she could, she would strangle him to death.
If Madam Cui could treat everyone equally and be unkind to everyone, Cui Linye might not be so distressed.
No, there isn't.
Cui Linye discovered that although Madam Cui was very friendly to everyone, especially to Jiang Tian, her friendliness was to a degree that even Cui Linye could not understand.
Jiang Tian's expensive dresses, meticulously styled hair, and innocent smile in her eyes all annoyed Cui Linye.
Therefore, Cui Linye harbored a desire for revenge.
He couldn't take revenge on his family, but he could take revenge on Jiang Tian.
With his capital and power, he could certainly retaliate against Jiang Tian.
And so, not long after, Jiang Tian's miserable days began.
