Chapter 42: Laying Out Everything



Seeing that her parents completely believed her, Jiang Chuwei told them everything that happened in her dream.

Upon hearing that more than three hundred people from the general's mansion had been killed, the mother covered her mouth and cried.

Although it hasn't happened yet, just thinking about it is excruciatingly painful.

None of her three sons, her grandsons, or her daughters survived.

Although it was just a dream, the mother was heartbroken.

She couldn't imagine that if the children were all beheaded, she would probably kill herself by banging her head against a wall.

But her daughter said she would also be beheaded.

Although the father did not shed tears like the mother, his face was terribly gloomy.

In particular, the tragedy of the General's Mansion was actually framed by their carefully chosen son-in-law.

If there were no evidence now, General Jiang would have rushed over and torn Lu Yanke to pieces.

What a heartless bastard.

Jiang Chuwei felt bad seeing her parents' expressions.

Since her rebirth, she has had many thoughts of killing Lu Yanke.

But based solely on her memories from her past life, she knew she couldn't.

That would also cause trouble for the General's Mansion.

The father was so angry he went berserk: "No way, I have to beat him up to vent my anger."

"He is now serving the Emperor."

My father has a violent temper, and he can't get rid of this resentment until he gets his revenge.

Jiang Chuwei tried asking, "What reason did you have to beat him up?"

"He bullied my daughter, she deserves to be beaten," the mother said.

“Yes, he already has an illegitimate child, can’t I even beat him up? What if I take it to the Emperor?” The father just couldn’t swallow his anger.

The General's Mansion wasn't satisfied with the Emperor's incompetence; did it also have to suffer the humiliation of a down-and-out household?

"Alright, when he returns, Father will send someone to beat him up."

"I'll do it myself."

"Okay, daughter supports father."

Even the emperor couldn't interfere when his father-in-law was disciplining his son-in-law.

But Lu Yanke isn't in the capital, so no matter how angry I am, it'll have to wait until he comes back.

General Jiang then came to his senses: "You mean the Prince of Jin will..."

To prevent eavesdroppers, Jiang Zhongyong pointed to the sky.

Jiang Chuwei nodded: "That's right!"

The father's expression changed.

The maternal family of the Prince of Jin, the Duke of Zheng, guarded Dongning for many years.

After the Zheng family sent their daughter to the palace, they enjoyed unparalleled prestige.

To appease the Zheng family, the emperor showered Consort Zheng with affection.

Strangely, however, the emperor did not seem to care much about Consort Zheng's son.

Emperors are suspicious, even of their own sons.

He certainly didn't want his son to join forces with his maternal grandparents to bring him down from his throne.

The emperor had long ago established a crown prince, Lin Mujing, the empress's eldest son.

The empress's family background was not prominent; the marriage between the two was arranged by the late emperor.

This was also to prevent the empress from coming from a prominent family.

Regardless of which noble family the empress falls into, she will ultimately be a threat to the emperor.

Since the Empress's maternal family had no powerful roots, the Emperor could feel much more at ease.

If Lu Yanke gets involved with Prince Jin, the Emperor will tacitly agree that the General's Mansion has also joined Prince Jin's cause.

General Jiang would never do such a thing; the only person in the General's Mansion who has always been loyal to the Emperor.

But the Emperor didn't believe it!

In this way, the General's Mansion would become a target of the Emperor's suppression, and he would naturally take action to strip the Jiang family of their military power.

The King of Jin's move was truly vicious.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Zhongyong finally understood.

Since my daughter is so certain that what happened in her dream will happen, there must be a plan.

"Since the General's Mansion can't avoid cooperating with Prince Yu in the struggle for the throne, it's better to be on the same boat as Prince Yu."

"Prince Yu?"

"yes."

"As far as I know, he has no interest in that position."

"That was in the past, but from today onwards, Prince Yu will change his mind."

"Have you reached an agreement with Prince Yu?" General Jiang was extremely cautious about taking sides.

If they make just one wrong step, the Jiang family will still be unable to escape the fate of being beheaded in their dreams.

"Therefore, Father must do everything in his power to help Prince Yu."

"You and Prince Yu?" the mother asked, puzzled.

"Yes, I will marry Prince Yu in the future." Jiang Chuwei did not intend to hide it from her parents.

"In my dream, it was Prince Yu who avenged me, and it was also Prince Yu who collected the bodies of more than three hundred members of the Jiang family."

Jiang Chuwei was already in tears as she spoke of these things.

Even recalling it again, her heart still aches.

The mother gently hugged Jiang Chuwei: "It's alright, don't be sad. You have to believe that your father will protect us."

"To be honest, the Prince of Yu once came to propose marriage and asked me to marry you." The mother was a little guilty.

"When?" Jiang Chuwei sat up straight.

"On the day you came of age, he came to ask me in person." Jiang's mother was filled with regret.

She felt that her daughter's current situation was entirely her own doing.

"Coming of age?"

Jiang Chuwei remembered that there was a gift that day, sent by someone from the General's Mansion.

Because the materials used were too expensive and too special, Jiang Chuwei had not been able to find the owner of the gift.

She locked up the half of the jade hairpin.

In retrospect, it appears to have been a token of love given by the Prince of Yu.

Did he want to marry her back then?

The intention behind presenting a hairpin at the coming-of-age ceremony is crystal clear.

Jiang Chuwei thought it was someone's prank.

I was angry for quite a while.

Jiang Chuwei didn't just throw away such a fine jade; she planned to return it to its owner after finding him.

Later, she married Lu Yanke, and the matter was put on hold.

At her coming-of-age ceremony, he presented her with a broken hairpin, gave herself one half, and kept the other half for himself.
