"Fourth Miss, I want to ask you, are you going to get married or not?" Li, the legitimate mother, pinched Chi Yunzhi's chin and asked viciously.
Su Linran felt a pain in her head, and the memories of the original owner came flooding back.
"Tongzi, what's going on?" Su Linran asked with narrowed eyes.
"Host, the original owner was the fourth daughter of the Minister of Revenue of the Longxing Dynasty, named Chi Yunzhi..."
The Minister of Revenue had two daughters, the second daughter named Chi Miaoyan, and the fourth daughter named Chi Yunzhi, who was her.
Originally, Chi Miaoyan was engaged to General Song, but General Song fell into the enemy's trap and was poisoned with a kind of heir-destroying poison that was incurable.
After hearing this, the second young lady cried and refused to marry him, so her stepmother Li came to threaten Chi Yunzhi and asked her to marry Song Tingyue instead of Chi Miaoyan.
"Are you going to marry me or not? If not, believe it or not, I will make Madam Zhou die accidentally tomorrow?" Li's eyes and eyebrows were full of cruelty.
Aunt Zhou is Chi Yunzhi's biological mother, but she is timid and doesn't fight for anything, so she is ostracized everywhere.
Although the original owner hated Aunt Zhou, her humble status caused her to be treated coldly by others.
Chi Miaoyan was the only one in the house willing to take her out to play, so she thought it was good for her.
So she willingly followed her, and as for the words that Chi Miaoyan used to mock her, she pretended not to hear them at all.
Yunzhi is spoiled, willful and ignorant of the overall situation, while Miaoyan is well-behaved, sensible, dignified and polite.
Yunzhi gets a headache whenever she sees a book, while Miaoyan is well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Comparing the two, the upbringing of legitimate and illegitimate children is clear at a glance.
Seeing that she was slow to respond, Li's patience ran out.
Chi Miaoyan chimed in, "Sister Yunzhi, if you marry the general for me, I'll have Daddy give you your favorite Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains screen."
This was another naked bribe. The original owner liked the screen placed in Li's room the most.
Li has absolute power in the Chi family's backyard.
"I will marry! Don't hurt my mother!" Chi Yunzhi spoke immediately.
Although Chi Yunzhi didn't like Aunt Zhou, she was really good to her.
As soon as Li brought up Aunt Zhou, Chi Yunzhi compromised.
"That's great, mother. I don't have to marry into the general's mansion and live as a widow! And father doesn't have to be embarrassed. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"Mother Miaoyan is really smart. Your father will definitely praise you if he knows."
After the mother and daughter finished their business, they left immediately as if there was something dirty here.
"Yunzhi, it's because mother doesn't have the ability to save you. Mother is incompetent." Aunt Zhou's eyes were red from crying.
"Go away, I don't want to see you. You are the concubine of the Chi family. Over the years, your noncompetitive nature has made me suffer with you."
"If you had just been more motivated, I wouldn't have to..."
"Forget it, what's the point of saying all this." Chi Yunzhi cursed, leaving Zhou stunned.
She had cursed people before, but at most she had called her a coward. This was the first time she had been so blunt.
Chi Yunzhi was scolding her on purpose. Now that she was gone, only her aunt was left.
She wouldn't even know she was being bullied. To be honest, she was really scared.
Seeing the anger between her brows gradually disappear, Zhou walked forward and hugged her in her arms.
"Mother understands, my little Yunzhi is worried about me, right? It's okay, mother will protect herself." Zhou's voice was as gentle as water, reminding her of every night when she cried and fell asleep listening to the songs she hummed softly.
Chi Yunzhi turned her head away, but did not break free from her embrace. She responded softly, "Yeah."
When Minister Chi heard about this, he knew that she was willing to marry for Chi Miaoyan, so he praised her highly and actually gave her the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains screen.
It's just an old thing that the lady has worn out, so just give it away.
As always, his wife knew what he was thinking. Before he even opened his mouth, she had already made all the arrangements. She truly was his good wife.
Miaoyan is well-behaved, cute, well-educated and well-mannered, so he is reluctant to push her into the fire pit.
As for Yunzhi...
Forget it, just send more dowry.
Three days later, the wedding took place as scheduled.
However, the bride had changed from Chi Miaoyan to Chi Yunzhi. When Song Tingyue lifted the veil, he found that the person he was marrying was not Chi Miaoyan, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
He knew that he was disabled and not qualified to marry Chi Miaoyan, but he carried Chi Yunzhi over silently, his heart filled with anger.
However, the two of them had already paid homage to heaven, earth and their parents, so the ceremony was considered complete.
"What's wrong with you, husband?" Chi Yunzhi looked up at him in confusion.
"You, the Chi family, are so capable that you replaced your legitimate daughter with a concubine's daughter without even telling a single word!" Song Tingyue said dissatisfiedly.
Chi Miaoyan is a legitimate daughter with both talent and beauty, while Chi Yunzhi is just a notorious concubine's daughter!
There is a world of difference between the two.
Seeing his reaction, Chi Yunzhi lowered her eyebrows and tears welled up in her eyes.
The aunts, grandmas and young people who were watching the fun around noticed something was wrong and looked at each other in confusion.
Song Tingyue's mother, Qian, was originally full of joy, but when she saw Chi Yunzhi sitting on the bed in her red wedding dress, the smile froze on her lips.
"Oh my God! This is so unfair! We, an orphan and a widow, are going to be forced to death!" Qian lay on the ground and howled.
The aunts and sisters-in-law all tried to persuade him and helped him up.
They didn't know why Qian's face, which was originally full of joy, changed when she saw the bride.
Qian had met Chi Miaoyan and Chi Yunzhi several times before and knew that the two sisters were very different.
Now, when she saw that the person she married was Chi Yunzhi, whom she looked down upon, she almost fainted.
The Chi family is really bullying others!
How could such a willful, capricious, talentless and immoral woman be sent here?
Isn't this looking down on the Song family?
Someone in the crowd recognized the notorious Chi Yunzhi and immediately guessed the reason.
More than a dozen of them gathered together and whispered.
"The banquet is prepared outside. Please come in, ladies and aunts." Song Tingyue finally regained his sanity. He asked these women to leave, and then pulled his mother up and helped her sit on the chair.
After hearing such shocking news, the aunties and grandmas immediately dispersed and went to find people to gossip.
"Madam Song, what do you mean by this? Will our young lady's marriage to your family bring disgrace to the Song family's reputation?" Zhuyin, the maid who came with the dowry, couldn't help but scold.
"Zhuyin, shut up. The Chi family was in the wrong for letting me marry in place of my sister. It's understandable that Madam Song, oh no, my mother is dissatisfied. I just hope that my husband will love me." Chi Yunzhi looked at Song Tingyue with red eyes.
Qian cried and wailed relentlessly, from the time her husband died on the battlefield to the time she raised her only son alone, to the time when the orphan and widow were bullied by her brother-in-law and his family.
Every detail is so heartbreaking.
But this is too unconstrained in a new house.
