Chapter 128: Plan
When Mrs. Wang first heard the words about letting Liu Xu die, she thought the girl was having a seizure again, but she soon figured it out.
It's not about letting the child die, it's about letting Liu Xu's identity die.
Didn't they originally prepare in the same way, changing their names and fabricating their backgrounds?
But since Yuer specifically brought it up, there must be a change in the plan, at least it is not the same as before.
That’s right, Jiang Xinyu meant to completely eliminate the identity of Liu Xu from the public’s view.
The usual routines in true and false Qianjinwen.
If the real daughter returns, she will surely use up her last bit of affection in various traps and become hated by everyone. But what if she never returns to that family?
Sometimes people are just particularly mean.
If you get it, you don’t cherish it. If you don’t get it, you will keep beautifying an imaginary possibility in your mind.
No matter how unwilling Mrs. Zhang is to accept the current Liu Xu, the lively and lovely Zhang Yu from childhood still has a place in her heart.
When Liu Xu returned, the family united to exclude this outsider who made them feel ashamed. But what if Liu Xu died?
Without external worries, can they still be stable internally?
Liu Xu can take revenge on her uncle and aunt, and on Zhang Yao, but she cannot take revenge on her parents and siblings. No matter how sad he is, the most he can do is to part ways with them and never see them again.
But Jiang Xinyu always felt unsatisfied.
Since she's going to be killed by a trick anyway, she might as well use some green tea tricks to maximize the benefits of Liu Xu's death.
A tearful suicide note, a tragic way of committing suicide.
If Liu Xu complained that Zhang's parents were unfair, the couple would not reflect on themselves. They would only think that the lowly people from Nanfeng Pavilion were ignorant and did not care about the overall situation.
But what if Liu Xu is sensible?
He did not blame his uncle and aunt who had maliciously kidnapped him, nor did he blame Zhang Yao who had taken his identity, nor did he blame his heartless parents and siblings. He only blamed his own bad luck.
His death will not defile the doorpost of the house or disturb the peace of the family. He only hopes that the family can live in harmony and good life.
He did not blame anyone, he just hoped that the river water could wash away the dirt on his body, and if there was an afterlife he could be reborn cleanly into his mother's belly and become mother and son again.
The living cannot compete with the dead.
She just didn't believe that the Zhang family could really remain indifferent to Liu Xu's death and continue to love and care for Zhang Yao's family.
After hearing Jiang Xinyu's plan, Madam Wang and Liu Xu looked at each other in bewilderment. Isn't this a bit too cruel?
Jiang Xinyu curled her lips in disdain, "Not cruel at all, if not, how would I avenge my cousin Yu?"
Even if I could take revenge later, why would I let that family have so much freedom for so long?
Moreover, this approach can once and for all confirm Liu Xu's death and remove you, my aunt, from all this.
It's not that I have a petty mind.
If my aunt only brought back the news of my cousin Yu's death, the Zhang family would not believe it or not. Even if they did believe it, they would probably feel resentment towards my aunt.
My method is still the best. Let Cousin Yu die because of the Zhang family and see how they can shirk the responsibility.
Aunt, you are not reluctant to see your cousin sad, are you? "
Mrs. Wang immediately said, "Why should she be reluctant? She cried herself blind and it was her own fault.
As long as she cared about the mother-son relationship, she would not defend Zhang Yao in every word, even if she did not recognize Yu'er as her ancestor.
I can't afford a cousin who can't tell right from wrong and measures family affection based on interests.
I think this arrangement is too troublesome for Governor Xiao."
Jiang Xinyu didn't take it seriously, "We are all family, so what's the problem? We are just looking for two actors who look similar to cousin Yu to go on a business trip and perform in a play.
It doesn’t matter what job you do, I’m not unwilling to give you benefits.”
Liu Xu frowned and clutched her sleeves, hesitating, "I'm sorry to trouble you. I can do it myself..."
Jiang Xinyu quickly made a stop gesture.
"If a crowd of people jumps into the river, someone will surely jump in to rescue them. Do you have the ability to swim?
Since Jiangnan is your sad place, you don't have to go there. They can fake their deaths there and you can start a new life here.
According to my expectation, if the plan goes well, Zhang Yao's family will definitely suffer retribution. If they are still fine after a year, I will personally avenge you.
Don't be polite to me.
You are my first friend in this world. I can't say I will stick my neck out for you, but I can at least stab others for you."
Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement, but she was a little worried that things would not go as smoothly as Yu'er expected.
Jiang Xinyu was quite confident, "I can probably guess what kind of person Zhang Yao is.
As long as my aunt sent a message early stating the arrival date and asked the Zhang family to send someone to pick her up, Zhang Yao would definitely be eager to interfere.
Either he would pretend to be sick and make trouble so that the Zhang family would not go to the dock, or he would instruct the servants to gossip. In any case, he would not let Cousin Yu have his fun.
The actors in Dongchang all have good acting skills. They find an excuse to cry at the dock and then pretend to leave a suicide note and jump into the canal.
The man was forced to death by the Zhang family. This matter has nothing to do with my aunt.
All you have to do is deliver the last letter to Mrs. Zhang in person and let them play out the rest of the play themselves."
The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more she felt that her niece's plan was feasible.
Jiang Xinyu was so delighted by the compliment that she began to draft her last letter. Recalling the sadistic lyrics she had read in modern times, she could not help but feel tear-jerking.
What's wrong with plain language? Liu Xu's character is not a genius anyway. It's enough as long as the emotions written are deeply tragic and pitiful, and Liu Xu's forbearance and understanding are reflected.
While she was writing the manuscript, Mrs. Wang was not idle either, and she forced Liu Xu to be her stepmother.
Even though the two of them were far away from each other and might not see each other again for many years, they were destined to be together, and Mrs. Wang also wanted her child to have some thoughts in her heart.
Liu Xu did not refuse and bowed to her stepmother obediently, secretly swearing in her heart that she would repay her stepmother and Jiang Xinyu's kindness in the future.
Knowing that he is as dirty as mud, people are still willing to pull him out of the quagmire and give him hope of living. This kind of love is not excessive.
Liu Xu became my aunt's son, and Jiang Xinyu called him his cousin more sincerely.
Of course, the name Liu Xu could no longer be used, and the name Zhang Yu was also discarded.
The three daughters discussed for a long time and decided to change Liu Xu's name to Wang, following Mrs. Wang's surname and given name Huan.
"Huan" means to be reborn and to be brand new, symbolizing the new vitality and vigor that emerges after experiencing setbacks.
The light flashed in Liu Xu's eyes again. He would live a good life and would not tarnish the name given to him by his stepmother.
The next day was a day off. Xiao Yuan came over in the evening. After hearing about Liu Xu's incident, he just smiled sarcastically.
This is human nature. He has become numb after seeing so much.
Especially those eunuchs, some of them worked hard in the palace for a lifetime and gave all the money they saved to their families, hoping that their nephews would support them in their old age, but when they really left the palace, they often did not have a good end.
Liu Xu was lucky enough, as she saw the truth and withdrew early. If she had returned to the Zhang family just for the sake of family affection, that would have been the beginning of her misfortune.
Xiao Yuan didn't care at all about his wife giving him jobs. His aunt's adopted son was also a relative, and it was a good thing that his wife was willing to rely on him.
While the two were chatting, Jiang Xinyu did not forget her business and handed the list given by Prince An to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan nodded after reading it.
He already knew who some of them were, so Prince An's list was quite honest.
After a night of romance, Governor Xiao spent the next day playing with his wife. Finally, he reluctantly returned to Beijing to continue his hard work.
Jiang Xinyu didn't tell him about Xu Qinglan.
Firstly, there was no point in talking about something that hadn't happened yet, and secondly, she also wanted to see if Xiao Yuan was a man who could make sense of things.
