Jiang Yu was embraced by Jiang Tian, as if she had returned to the time when she was a little girl.
The heart that had been hurt by Wei Wenxuan has regained its warmth.
Seeing Wei Jinxiu holding her hand and looking at her with worried eyes, Jiang Yu forced a smile: "Mother is fine."
If she were alone, Wei Wenxuan's words would be enough to become a nightmare that strangles her in her dreams.
But with her sister watching over her and her daughter by her side, after leaving the house that had given her a chilly feeling, Jiang Yu felt less distressed after crying.
Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Tian and suddenly said, "Sometimes I think, if Wei Wenxuan had died when we were deeply in love, I wouldn't be so heartbroken."
Watching your former lover change his mind and then having children with him is tantamount to being slowly tortured to death.
Jiang Yu asked Jiang Tian, "Were you very sad when your brother-in-law passed away?"
Everyone said that Jiang Tian and Xu Changsheng were a perfect couple. Before his death, Xu Changsheng even deliberately arranged for Jiang Tian to remarry, which became a popular story among the people.
Wei Jinxiu also perked up her ears with curiosity.
In her past life, when she was a young girl, she greatly admired her aunt and uncle's love.
I heard that my uncle hasn't taken a concubine in ten years, and the two of them have been childless for ten years, but they have lived a peaceful and stable life.
Until his death, my uncle was still scheming for my aunt.
If one could find such a soulmate, one's life would surely be worthwhile.
Looking at the curious gazes of the mother and daughter in front of her, Jiang Tian smiled calmly: "I'm not sad at all, I wish I could set off firecrackers."
With just one sentence, Jiang Yu and Wei Jinxiu both widened their eyes in unison.
Jiang Tian looked at them and said calmly, "Before Xu Changsheng died, he and I had already become a pair of resentful lovers."
In the next hour, Jiang Yu and Wei Jinxiu learned the truth behind the so-called beautiful story.
Jiang Tian's expression was very calm: "Xu Changsheng and I are a perfect match. I chose him after much deliberation, and we made a promise that if he wanted to marry me, he couldn't have any other women. He agreed."
"For the first three years of our marriage, our relationship was quite good, and he was very considerate to me. In the fourth year, his servants sent him a woman from the Hu region. She was incredibly beautiful, and after drinking some wine, he accepted her with a smile, albeit reluctantly."
“He secretly kept her outside, thinking I didn’t know. In fact, I found out a few days later and took the initiative to bring her in.”
"Seeing that my complexion was normal, he frequently lingered in that woman Hu's courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu was already furious: "How dare that beast!"
Wei Jinxiu's face also showed indignation.
Jiang Tian smiled and continued nonchalantly, "A few days later, he went to war. I spent some money to have his father sign the divorce papers on his behalf, and then I took my people and dowry and headed back."
"Halfway through the journey, he caught up with me with a ferocious face, forcibly tied me to the horse's back, and took me back. After we got back, he tried to do something indecent to me, so I vomited all over him. He also found the divorce papers and tore them up completely."
"From then on, he imprisoned me in the general's mansion, forbidding me to leave, wanting to break my bones, since I didn't really have any backing. But I may not have anything else, but I'm tough. When he came into my room, I would vomit. If he forced me any further, I would cut my neck with a dagger. As soon as he left, I would hang myself. Later, there were no more sharp weapons left in my room."
“After tormenting each other for months, he killed the pregnant woman from Hu, knelt down and begged me for mercy, saying that everyone else was just a plaything and that I was the only one in his heart, and begged me to return to my original self. I stabbed him.”
Jiang Yu and Wei Jinxiu remained silent; they couldn't imagine how Jiang Tian had endured those days.
“Because my father was a meritorious official, the palace would send a batch of gifts to the Northwest every year. He was afraid that I would inform the chief eunuch and ask the emperor to grant me a divorce, so he had all the servants who had followed me since I was a child tied up. If I said a word more, one of them would die.”
So I had no choice but to shut up.
“I’m not a stone. I have people I care about. He threatens me at every turn, and I can only be controlled by him.”
Jiang Yu suddenly realized why her eldest sister had sent her so few letters in those years.
“We tormented each other for ten years. I wouldn’t let him into my room, and I brought in a lot of people for him, but he didn’t want them. Every time, he wanted to kill me. How hypocritical.”
"Later on, he went to fight alongside the emperor, saying that the higher his position, the harder it would be for me to escape. Unfortunately, not long after, someone stabbed him in the heart, and he couldn't save his life. Then he told me to remarry."
She looked at Jiang Yu and Wei Jinxiu: "I originally wanted to live a quiet life on my own, but after thinking about it, I was unwilling to do so. This time I came to the capital, I need to find a man."
