Chapter 590 Jiang Rumeng Learned Some Secrets
Jiang Rumeng also rushed over after receiving the news. Faced with Jiang Rumeng's enthusiasm, Zhang Yumo felt very awkward. She tried her best to respond to the Jiang family's kindness, saying, "Second sister."
“Mother said you have amnesia. It’s alright if you have amnesia. We’ll think about it slowly. We’ll eventually remember everything from before. As long as you wake up, I, your second sister, am willing to shorten my lifespan by a few years. May the Bodhisattva bless you, may God bless you.” Jiang Rumeng sincerely prayed for her. In fact, for the past two years, she had been praying to God every day for Zhang Yumo to wake up.
Zhang Yumo became less talkative; she hadn't gotten used to her new identity yet.
Jiang Rumeng continued, "Did you know that your mother went to Huguo Temple to ask Master Wu to tell your fortune? Master Wu found out that your fate had been altered. Originally, it was a dead end with little chance of survival. I don't know who helped you and changed your fate, allowing you to live."
I used to disbelieve in fate; I only believed in myself, that I could change my own destiny. But since listening to Master Wu's words, I believe in reincarnation. We must do more good deeds and accumulate blessings so that Heaven will help us.
Zhang Yumo herself never expected that God would give her a second chance at life. Master Wu was able to calculate that her destiny had been altered, so he must also be able to calculate who helped her!
She said, "I want to go to Huguo Temple to thank Master Wu Zi, and also to thank the Bodhisattva for his protection."
"Yes, we are going. My mother and I made a wish at Huguo Temple, praying for the safety of our whole family. I am going to fulfill my vow. Sister-in-law, you should take care of your health first, and then we can discuss choosing an auspicious day to go together."
Suddenly, her face also turned gloomy. "If Ruan Ruan were here, she would be so happy that my sister-in-law woke up."
Zhang Yumo asked, "Is Ruan Ruan the same as the Third Miss Jiang Fenghua?"
“Yes, Yu Mo has forgotten about Ruan Ruan too.” Jiang Rumeng sighed. “I wonder what happened to her that made her run away from home with Lin Yu.”
"Did she run away from home? How could that be? Didn't she marry into the Heng Prince's mansion and become a princess?"
Jiang Rumeng was stunned when she heard her say that. "You still remember when Ruan Ruan became the Princess Consort of Heng, how could you not remember how you married into the Jiang family?"
Zhang Yumo pretended to say, "I don't know either. I remember some things, and I can't remember others."
"What do you remember?" Jiang Rumeng really wanted to know what memories Zhang Yumo had lost. She hadn't mentioned her older brother at all. Had she forgotten about him?
"I remember that Prince Heng married Miss Jiang the Third as his princess. I heard that she had a very bad life after becoming Princess Heng. She was often bullied by the concubines, and Prince Heng was even more indifferent and ruthless towards her. I think that given Miss Jiang the Third's personality, she probably wouldn't tell the Jiang family about these things!"
Jiang Rumeng's mind worked quickly. Xie Shang had always been good to Ruan Ruan. Even though he had married Su Tingwan as his concubine, Ruan Ruan was not someone to be bullied. Why did Yu Mo say that?
Jiang Rumeng, being cautious, smiled and asked, "Who told you these things?"
"Although our Zhangguo Duke's Mansion has declined, it is still considered a prominent family in the capital. The Su family, especially Consort Su, is backing up her niece, and everyone is trying to curry favor with Consort Su. They gossip in private, and my grandmother and I are often invited to various banquets. Occasionally, we hear someone say that Princess Heng is not doing well..."
She stopped there, suddenly realizing that she had been reborn in another world. Perhaps the Princess Heng in this world was doing well, after all, she was doing quite well in this world, and had even married into the Jiang family, and even married Jiang Jinyan.
Unfortunately, she died young, and she didn't know what happened to Jiang Fenghua afterward.
Jiang Rumeng felt something was off and tentatively asked, "What else do you know?"
Zhang Yumo shook her head. "I don't remember."
Actually, she remembered. She had been to the palace before. Her grandmother couldn't stand the Empress's mean and vicious attitude towards her daughter-in-law. She even said that it was fortunate that the Zhang family had fallen from grace, and the royal family would not want to marry a daughter of the Zhang family.
She could imagine how wronged Jiang Fenghua must have felt after marrying into the royal family. Her mother-in-law disliked her, her husband didn't love her, and she was bullied by the concubines. Logically speaking, the Jiang family's background wasn't very high, and they shouldn't have caught the Empress's eye at all. Yet the Emperor bestowed a marriage upon the Jiang family's daughter. It was truly unlucky.
Jiang Rumeng kept Zhang Yumo's words in mind. She never imagined that her younger sister had suffered so much when she married Xie Shang. Her sister always came back smiling, and Xie Shang even played along with her sister's act for them.
This led them all to mistakenly believe that their sister had married a good husband.
No wonder my sister and Lin Yu ran away from home. It turns out that the Emperor never truly cared for my third sister. None of the empresses in the palace had good intentions; everyone wanted to win the Emperor's favor.
My eldest brother wrote to say that he has found our third sister. Now that he has found her, why hasn't he brought her back yet? The whole family is worried about her.
When Jiang Rumeng saw her mother, she saw her burning incense for the Bodhisattva. It was unclear when Lady Feng had started to bring a statue of Guanyin to her home for worship.
How could a woman with her personality tolerate having to kowtow and burn incense three times a day? Jiang Rumeng was a shrewd person; she wouldn't want to add any more trouble to her mother.
She stepped forward, burned incense, and bowed, praying, "May Guanyin Bodhisattva bless my sister with peace and safety, and may my elder brother bring her back soon."
Feng Jingyuan's eyes were red, clearly she had been crying again.
"I'll accompany you to Huguo Temple to fulfill your vow another day. Yu Mo has woken up, and Third Sister should be back soon, so Mother doesn't need to worry," Jiang Rumeng comforted her.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with our Jiang family. Yu Mo has woken up, but she has also lost her memory. Jin Yan finally managed to develop a relationship with her and no longer felt guilty about the Xu family’s affairs. Now Yu Mo has forgotten your older brother. Why is your older brother so unlucky? Xiao Chu is so cute and longs for her mother, but her mother can’t remember her.”
Ever since Feng Jingyuan learned that her daughter was not in the palace, she often went to the palace with Jiang Huai to visit her three little grandsons. They were pitiful, as they had no mother by their side.
Fortunately, their maternal grandparents often taught them, and Xie Ziyan and Xie Hongyou were taught to read by their maternal grandfather at a young age.
She often argued with Jiang Huai about this, wanting the children to have a happy childhood and not to raise her grandchildren to be bookworms like their mother.
Feng Jingyuan felt that it was good that her second daughter had little education. She married into an ordinary family, was loved by her husband, and had both a son and a daughter. She believed that Jin Ji would not forgive her for taking a concubine.
However, her third son-in-law was the emperor, with a harem full of concubines, each one as fierce as a wolf. Poor, her beautiful daughter had to act like a nanny, disciplining the emperor's group of concubines.
Feng Jingyuan couldn't stand it, but what could she do but endure it?
When his third daughter first married Prince Heng, he didn't have any concubines in his household. Later...
Feng Jingyuan felt increasingly sorry for her daughter.
Jiang Rumeng quickly comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. Third Sister is the smartest in our family. She knows how to live her life properly."
