Chapter 220 Li Mingyue Regrets
Li Mingyue has not had a single peaceful day since she married Zhao Chengye.
The mother-in-law likes to put on airs and harass people, while the sister-in-law is overbearing and domineering, always thinking about her things.
Even her beloved brother Chengye was not what she had imagined.
All that glorious and gentle appearance is just an act.
The donkey-shit guy looks smooth on the outside, and apart from being eloquent and having a better appearance, he is not much different from those playboys.
The Ningguo Mansion was even more of an empty shell, with only the principal house and a few courtyards for entertaining guests decorated with flowers.
The more remote areas have been turned into vegetable gardens, and even the gold-painted beams have not been repaired.
The huge gap after marriage made Li Mingyue want to cry, and she finally understood why her mother repeatedly asked her if she would regret it.
I finally understood what it meant when I said: A woman’s marriage is her second reincarnation.
Some flowers can bloom beautifully no matter how harsh the environment is.
But she can't, she is just an ordinary flower like most girls.
It will grow well in fertile soil and abundant rain and dew, but will gradually wither in poor and dry places.
But she had already moved from her mother's garden to her husband's land, and the roots had taken root there and could not be pulled out.
Even if you manage to pull it up, it will be torn into pieces.
She had tried to change.
It's no use trying to please the mother-in-law or giving good things to the sister-in-law despite the pain.
Her mother-in-law has no idea what it means to return a favor, she only knows what it means to push for more.
The more submissive and humble she acted, the more severely the old woman tortured her.
People don't think that a filial daughter-in-law knows etiquette, they just think that you are timid and easy to control.
Her sister-in-law has learned the essence of her mother-in-law tenfold, and is now greedy and insatiable.
Even if she put all her dowry into it, it would not be enough to fill this bottomless pit.
Li Mingyue is not a very good-tempered person.
At first, she wanted to integrate into her husband's family in order to win back Zhao Chengye's heart, but she got angry when she found out that they were shameless.
Who says people have only one attribute? She is not only a love-brained person but also a mama's girl.
Zhao Chengye's inaction made her love-brain attribute retreat a little, and her mama's girl attribute took over again.
The reason why the mama's boy has a hard life is because the mother always wants to have a fight with her daughter-in-law.
But if the mother is more reliable, the baby girl will be very happy.
Mrs. Li didn't seem surprised to see her daughter come back crying. She just touched Li Mingyue's head lovingly and gave her some advice.
Reincarnation is indeed important, but it does not mean that you have to accept your fate after being reborn.
Some people may not live happily even if they marry into a wealthy family, and some may kill their way out of it even if they marry into a despicable family.
Isn’t Miss Jiang next door an example? With the support of Governor Xiao, she suppressed the Liu family.
He was rich and had plenty of free time, so no one dared to mess with him. When he went to a jewelry store, he could easily buy something worth several thousand taels of silver without blinking an eye.
When the daughters of two ladies she was familiar with offended Jiang Xinyu, she immediately went to apologize.
As a result, the gifts people casually sent back were all tribute materials appreciated by the palace.
Originally, the marriage was for her daughter Mingyue, but at that time, both mother and daughter felt like the sky had fallen.
In order to escape the fate of marrying a eunuch, she even considered the Ningguo Mansion, which she had originally disliked, as a good choice, and she planned a marriage exchange despite the risk of being divorced.
Now it seems that her vision is still not broad enough. She only saw that the Ningguo Mansion was not a good match and failed to see the advantages of Governor Xiao.
It’s a pity that it’s too late to say anything now. I can only try my best to help Mingyue live a good life in the future.
Li Mingyue went back to her parents' home and brought back a maid and a nanny. After returning, she had a huge fight with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
After Zhao Chengye was interviewed by the head of the Li family, he no longer dared to let his mother and sister act recklessly.
Li Mingyue tasted the sweetness and wanted less and less to be a good wife.
It's so nice to be a wife. You can punish me however you want, but I won't accept it.
If you dare to do this to me, I will hang myself. Let's see what you have to say to my family.
Since she became a wife, the sky has become bluer, the water has become clearer, the maids have become more pleasant to listen to, and her mother-in-law no longer dares to set rules for her all day long.
It's just that she fought for this benefit a little late, and she had to suffer for several months.
After Li Mingyue spent a long time in the Ningguo Mansion, she also got to know some maids and servants, and gradually learned some things that she didn't know before in the palace.
For example, the triangular relationship between Jiang Xinyu, Jiang Wanqiu and Zhao Chengye.
She was so blind that she thought Jiang Wanqiu was a good person. Who knew that the bastard had actually been having an affair with her brother-in-law?
Bah, so shameless.
Li Mingyue felt so angry when she thought of the time when she complained to Jiang Wanqiu that Jiang Xinyu was not worthy of Zhao Chengye.
She just thought Zhao Chengye was good-looking and had some little girl thoughts.
If they met, they would just greet each other and then quickly avoid each other. They never thought of having sex privately or taking the initiative to seduce each other.
As a result, Jiang Wanqiu acted like a female teacher and advised herself with words of advice and rules for women.
I was such a fool. I actually thought that the villain had a noble character and really cared about me and was afraid that I had taken the wrong path.
Now thinking about it, it’s really disgusting!
She says one thing and does another, and she is really good at playing the role of a whore.
Originally, these things could only be suppressed in Li Mingyue's heart. After all, the title of the Crown Prince's Wife sounded good.
She had no way out and no courage to completely break away from the Zhao family.
The Li clan may support her in her attempt to seize power in the inner house and compete with the mistress of the house, but they will not allow her and Li to bring shame to the clan.
There are some things you have to not give in to, but there are other things you have to turn a blind eye to.
Li Mingyue has grown a lot since she changed from a spoiled girl to the wife of the prince of the Duke's Mansion.
She used to act recklessly because her mother could provide support in her circle.
That’s no longer possible now. She has to find her position within the family’s rules of the game and various frameworks.
It is true that people cannot teach people, but experiences can teach people, and they will remember it when it hurts.
Li Mingyue's attitude towards Zhao Chengye is still enthusiastic, but the love in her heart has gradually decreased to 30% and is still decreasing.
Compared with her husband's favor, she values her own practical interests and status more.
The Ningguo Mansion was already poor, and Jiang Xinyu cheated them out of several thousand taels of silver, making them even more stretched.
The masters were living in poverty and the servants' lives were even more difficult.
In addition, there were no happy events in the mansion, and the servants hadn't seen any bonuses for more than half a year.
In order to keep track of Zhao Chengye's movements, Li Mingyue gave money to Zhao Chengye's personal servants.
How could these guys who have been poor for half a year not be bought?
Therefore, Li Mingyue knew that Zhao Chengye and Zuo Xiang had been in close contact for a period of time.
He also knew that Zhao Chengye and Jiang Wanqiu had rekindled their relationship, and vaguely mentioned that Xiao Yuan had died and Jiang Xinyu had become a widow.
At first, she didn't understand, but after hearing Zhao Chengye's nervous prayers to the gods and the news from the court, Li Mingyue also guessed it roughly.
She didn't have the political sense for the turmoil in the court, but she was able to keenly catch a signal.
If Xiao Yuan really died, Jiang Xinyu would become a widow and return to her parents' home.
This means that she will bring back a large amount of dowry.
The Liu family is in charge of the Jiang family's backyard, and since Jiang Xinyu has Governor Xiao as his backer, the Liu family dare not touch her.
If she returned home as a widow, her dowry would probably be taken away and given to Jiang Wanqiu.
No wonder Zhao Chengye got close to her again. He was planning to marry Jiang Wanqiu and use the dowry to fill the hole in his mansion.
Thinking of this, Li Mingyue couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Jiang Wanqiu, who had a large dowry, could not possibly be a concubine. If she wanted to be a wife, what would she do?
Was he divorced, or simply died of illness?
