Over the past three years, he has climbed to higher and higher positions step by step with the help of Minister Jiang. The higher he climbs, the greater his ambition becomes.
The original owner was married to him for three years, and he never even touched her. But today, he divorced her on the pretext that she hadn't conceived in three years. How ridiculous and pathetic!
Jiang Jingyue looked up at her surroundings and, combined with the memories in the original owner's mind, quickly realized where she was.
If Jiang Jingyue wasn't mistaken, this scene was in the woodshed of the General's Mansion. Today was the day that scoundrel brought another woman back to the mansion.
The scoundrel said that only the position of the principal wife is worthy of the woman he likes, so he forced Jiang Jingyue to give up the position of the general's wife.
Jiang Jingyue disagreed. She wanted to stay and beg this man to help save her parents, but she had no idea that it was because of this man that her parents were imprisoned.
Her father was framed and imprisoned, and the person who framed him was her general husband.
When those people came to take her father away, her mother accidentally hit the soldiers in an attempt to prevent him from being taken away, and was thus also imprisoned.
As a woman who had always lived a secluded life, this series of events was devastating for her. She had no choice but to turn to her husband for help.
But she never expected that the affection they had shown each other for the past three years was all a lie. The man had only been speaking softly to her in order to advance his career. Now that he had gotten everything he wanted, he no longer wanted to hide it.
He already had a woman he liked, and after sending Jiang Jingyue's parents to prison, he couldn't wait to bring the woman he liked back to his mansion.
Today was the day the man was bringing the woman back to the mansion. Because they were worried that Jiang Jingyue would disturb them, they had her locked in the woodshed and prevented from going out.
Even inside the woodshed, Jiang Jingyue could hear the cheerful laughter outside.
She stood up and went to the door of the woodshed. She tried to open the door, but it was obvious that it had been bolted from the outside, and she couldn't open it from the inside.
Seeing this, Jiang Jingyue knew that she could only wait and see if anyone would bring her food. If they did, that would be her chance.
Jiang Jingyue waited for a long time, so long that she almost fell asleep, until she finally heard a noise at the door.
It seemed someone was coming, but Jiang Jingyue didn't run out immediately; she still had things to find out.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the door was opened, and a young maidservant came in to deliver the food. The moment she saw Jiang Jingyue, she looked at her with a face full of worry.
"Madam, I know you are heartbroken, but there is nothing I can do. The general has already married that woman, so you can only obediently go along with him."
If you listen to him, he might let you go, and you might even keep your position as the general's wife. Madam, don't be stubborn. If you apologize to the general, he will forgive you.
Hearing what the maid in front of her said, Jiang Jingyue sneered and slowly spoke.
"Put your things down and leave! I'll go find the general myself and explain things to him later."
Hearing Jiang Jingyue say this, the servant shook her head. It was definitely not possible to let Jiang Jingyue go to the front yard now. A wedding was being held there, and if the madam caused any trouble later, it would definitely be her fault.
“Madam, it’s not that I don’t want you to leave, but the general has instructed that you cannot leave the woodshed until he gives his approval.”
After saying this, the servant walked out and locked the door to the woodshed once again.
Bai Jingyue understood that in the current situation, it was impossible for her to go out and find that man. She could only wait for him to come to her in person, since she still had something that scoundrel wanted.
The scoundrel didn't keep Bai Jingyue waiting long. He had just married the woman he loved and couldn't wait to bring his new wife to Jiang Jingyue.
As soon as he arrived in front of Jiang Jingyue, the woman beside him spoke with a look of disgust.
"Oh dear, my husband, is this your wife, the legitimate daughter of the Minister's family? Why are you in such a sorry state? Didn't you say you were going to divorce her and take a concubine as your wife? Don't forget, I'm carrying your child now. I can wait, but the child in my belly can't."
When Zhao Hu heard what the woman said, his expression turned serious. He hadn't gotten what he wanted yet, so he couldn't divorce Jiang Jingyue now.
Zhao Hu looked at Jiang Jingyue with a cold expression and said somewhat anxiously.
"Jiang Jingyue, give me the treasure map, and I can guarantee you a worry-free life from now on."
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Jingyue responded with a cold laugh.
"Zhao Hu, I didn't expect you to still be so foolish even now. You don't actually believe that there is such a thing as a treasure map, do you? It's just a trick made up by people."
As soon as Jiang Jingyue said this, Zhao Hu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Impossible. If this were false, why didn't you refute it when I asked you about it? Why did you even tacitly agree to it?"
"Ah, General, do you know that at that time, the young girl was infatuated and only wanted to keep her beloved by her side. Nothing else mattered."
Zhao Hu's face turned ugly. He simply couldn't accept that the treasure map he had been so obsessed with was a lie. He suddenly went to Jiang Jingyue's side and grabbed her by the neck.
"Jiang Jingyue, tell me quickly, where is the treasure map? If you tell me, I can let your parents go, and they won't have to suffer in prison anymore."
Zhao Hu originally thought that Bai Jingyue would definitely tell him after he said that, but to his surprise, he still saw Jiang Jingyue shake her head.
Now, even if he didn't want to believe it, he had no choice but to believe it.
He knew better than anyone how much Jiang Jingyue cared about her parents. Even if he brought up her parents, he still couldn't get Jiang Jingyue to reveal the location of the treasure map, which meant that the whole thing was fake.
Zhao Hu subconsciously took a few steps back, and the woman next to him immediately supported him.
"General, since this is all fake, can't we just stop waiting and give her a divorce certificate so that our child can be born with a good status?"
As soon as the woman said this, Zhao Hu hesitated. Although he wanted to give his child a good status, he did not want the woman in front of him to be his general's wife.
