Chapter 2 Each with its own backstory



Although he was a man, he was also a scholar, and even with the combined efforts of several old women, he was still pushed and stumbled.

He was furious and wanted to call his men in to beat the old women to death.

The old lady went over and pulled him aside, whispering a few words in his ear.

Meng Junxian's face was a mixture of innocence and shame, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

They had no choice but to leave the two Li women alone for the time being and went back into the main room with his mother.

"Yan Nangui, what are you trying to do by causing such a mess? Can't we talk things out?" Meng Junxian's face was extremely ugly.

Yan Nangui was framed by the eldest princess, but Meng Junxian himself didn't like her either. In the two years since their marriage, he had only visited Taoran Residence a limited number of times.

In the past, Yan Nangui was arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable, so naturally he was not well-liked.

Therefore, even if Li and his mother had plotted against him, he didn't care at all.

In his heart, he naturally wanted to make his cousin his official wife.

Therefore, the wild geese that fly south will inevitably die of illness sooner or later.

Today, she caused such a scene, Meng Junxian only felt annoyed and angry, how could he possibly feel any regret?

Yan Nangui emerged from the inner room, her face expressionless, yet carrying a mocking smile.

Unlike before, he didn't fly into a rage at the slightest provocation, which left Meng Junxian puzzled.

The last time he saw her was seven days ago, after she had miscarried.

The drug was so potent that she nearly died. He only glanced at her and that was it.

In his heart, even if this Yan Shi died, so what? Her biological father was far away at the border, and when he returned, he would know nothing.

Back in the capital, her stepmother wished she were dead. Her grandmother was completely indifferent to everything.

However, these old women have appeared in the house today...

Yes, this must be someone from the Marquis of Xinyang's household. The Marquis of Xinyang's wife is Yan Nangui's maternal aunt. She is Yan Nangui's only direct sister.

This is absolutely insane! Even the Lady of Xinyang dares to challenge the princess?

However, he couldn't care less about that at the moment, and just said, "Just tell me what you want, don't make up any nonsense."

His words carried a hint of indulgence, as if to say, "I forgive you."

It's a pity that the more things are like this, the more disgusting it is for the migrating geese to return south.

It can only be said that this man is short-sighted, abandoning her, the legitimate daughter of a first-rank general, and choosing Li Shi instead.

Tsk.

“It’s simple, just sign the divorce papers. Pack up all my dowry.” Yan Nangui was no longer angry at this point.

"As for what you want, it's just a few letters. Don't worry, I'll give them to you."

Upon hearing the news, Meng Junxian's hand tightened.

I thought it was just a rumor, but I never expected to receive a letter.

Where do these geese come from to fly south?

He tried to get more information out of her, but Yan Nangui had already given him the order to leave: "Is three days enough? If not, I won't wait any longer. At worst, I'll live and die with your whole family."

Meng Junxian and his mother exchanged a glance, neither wanting to say anything more.

I have to leave first.

Yan Nangui smiled and said, "As for those two outside, if they don't kneel for a full day, then I can't guarantee that I'll give them all the letter."

Meng Junxian paused, but still went out.

Outside, Li and Yang were weeping uncontrollably, their faces pale, but they were too cold to get up.

The old lady was completely oblivious to them at this point. Meng Junxian felt a pang of pity, but he had no choice but to harden his heart and leave first.

The life and death of the Meng family are far more important than theirs.

If the two cried too loudly, an old woman would throw water on them.

I don't hit them, but that's even more unbearable.

Yan Nangui woke up after a comfortable nap and, under the trembling gazes of several maids, said, "Let's set out the meal."

Seven days have passed, and the feeling of an empty stomach has subsided. When she first arrived, she had stomach aches, felt weak all over, and was dizzy. Even more intense was the anger, grief, and heart-wrenching pain in her heart. The original owner of this body naturally had feelings for Meng Junxian. Even though the original owner was arrogant, that was something her stepmother had deliberately cultivated, not something she was born with.

She wasn't stupid; she understood everything before she died. That's why she was filled with hatred.

Seven days passed, and Yan Nangui was finally feeling less unwell. During those seven days, she hadn't just lay in bed; she had done what she needed to do. She was always a decisive person, and she realized she couldn't wait any longer.

However, we cannot neglect our health.

However, she is still not in good spirits and needs to take some supplements.

They used strong medicine; she bled too much during the miscarriage, severely damaging her health. Otherwise, she wouldn't have died.

If not properly cared for, I fear I may not be able to maintain good health in the future.

An old woman came in and said, "Miss, we are all ready and can leave at any time."

"Then let's leave first thing tomorrow morning. I imagine with so many people, they won't dare to stop us. We'll go to the estate in the western suburbs. I've already sent people to make preparations."

Of course, she couldn't go back to her parents' home; that was a den of wolves.

She couldn't go to her aunt's either, lest people gossip. She had several estates left by her mother, and was only staying there temporarily.

Yes, she wanted revenge and had already planned her future.

She has always been easygoing, and the past is all blurred in her memory. Since she is already a wild goose returning south, she will simply follow the wild goose's path.

As it stands now, all she remembers is an aunt who always cared about her, no matter what.

Bystanders...

It's pitiful that she has a biological father and two older brothers, but she can't rely on either of them.

As for the two younger sisters who were in the womb, the grandmother who clearly knew everything, and the cruel stepmother, what kind of relatives are they?

If only one goose had returned south, the Meng family might have resorted to desperate measures to kill her. But with twenty people coming from the Marquis of Xinyang's residence, could they all have been killed?

This was impossible, so in order to save their own lives, the Meng family had no choice but to divorce.

This is just the first step.

"And those two outside..." the old woman asked again.

"A day is a day, of course. There are twelve two-hour periods, and not a single one can be missing," Yan Nangui said calmly.

The old woman was taken aback, then responded, meaning she had to kneel down the next morning.

Tsk tsk, I'm afraid they won't survive.

“Oh, don’t water them at night. I want them to suffer a fate worse than death. If they really die, what a bargain it will be!” Especially Li Shi.

She's dying. Who will turn their love into hatred with the Meng family after she dies?

"Not only should we not water it, but if Li can't hold on, we should give her a decoction of ginseng," Yan Nangui said with a smile.

The old woman hurriedly agreed, thinking to herself that this young lady had changed.

But it's all for the best. In the past, he seemed arrogant and domineering, but unfortunately, he was always the one who suffered.

This is good now.

Master Meng, a high-ranking official of the second rank, was naturally serving as an official in the provinces. The old lady and Meng Junxian discussed the matter all night.

The outcome is still unknown.

Meanwhile, in Taoranju, Yan Nangui slept soundly.

The two kneeling outside developed high fevers before midnight, but they were still not allowed to get up. They were given ginger soup and ginseng soup, so they wouldn't die.

She fainted several times but was woken up each time.

My legs are so cold they're practically frozen.

Kneeling like that all night, even if you survive, you'll be half dead.
