Chapter 10 Something is wrong
Wu asked, "What's wrong?"
"I was squeezed." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, so sorry, it's mother's fault, mother's fault." Wu quickly grabbed Jiang Zhaoyue's hand and apologized to her while saying to Pei Jingzhou, "Jingzhou, don't mind it, Zhaoyue is just a little bit temperamental."
"Yes, yes, Jingzhou, please be more tolerant." Jiang Shihong agreed.
Oh.
The original owner was selfish, greedy, stupid and vicious, but she was not born that way.
Her mother died during childbirth, and her grandparents took pity on her, so they raised her and taught her to read and write and learn etiquette.
She grew up very well, was sensible and well-behaved, and could recite a lot of poems and songs.
Unfortunately, when he was just six years old, his grandparents passed away one after another.
She naturally came to her stepmother Wu.
Mrs. Wu took her to banquets everywhere, acting like she loved her more than her own mother.
After earning the reputation of "good mistress" and "good stepmother", they began to praise her to death.
If you don’t want to study, don’t study.
I don’t want to get up. I won’t get up.
If you beat or scold your servants, it is their fault.
As long as she likes someone else's things, they are hers.
If you don't like something, just scold the lady.
…
The three views and self-control that have not yet taken shape are gradually distorted.
She became selfish, greedy, stupid and vicious.
Wu would occasionally provoke her with light words, and she would immediately start making a scene regardless of the consequences, and her reputation gradually deteriorated.
Wu wanted to take the opportunity to destroy her marriage and replace it with her own daughter.
But the only useful weapon she has learned over the years is selfishness.
She never backed down from her marriage.
It just so happened that Pei Maokun insisted that she marry Pei Jingzhou, and she was lucky enough to escape from Wu's hands and entered the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
She married Pei Jingzhou smoothly... Jiang Zhaoyue traveled through time on their wedding night.
She remembered that the book described how the original owner married into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and the Wu mother and daughter were so angry that they were about to die. The next one or two chapters described how the original owner committed suicide step by step.
She traveled through time before she had finished reading the entire book.
She didn't know what would happen next, and she didn't care what would happen. She was the protagonist of her own world, and she had to eat well, drink well, and be in a good mood every day.
But she didn't expect that Wu and others had not given up yet and still wanted to destroy her marriage and replace it with her younger sister.
Jiang Shihong, that scumbag and stupid man, actually joined in.
She couldn't bear it any longer and said directly: "Mother, Father, Second Master is not an outsider either, why are you so hypocritical?"
Mrs. Wu was stunned.
Jiang Shihong asked doubtfully, "Zhaoyue, what do you mean by that?"
"Mom squeezed me, I just reminded her, did I do anything wrong?" Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Jiang Shihong and asked.
"No." Jiang Shihong answered directly.
"Mother can just say something to comfort me and it will be over, right?"
"yes."
"Why did Mother apologize and then call me petty in front of Second Master?"
"this……"
"Is this matter worth my mother's painstaking efforts to create a good stepmother image while solidifying my selfish, greedy, stupid, vicious, and lawless image?"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Shihong didn't understand for a moment.
Jiang Zhaoyue had not had any serious study since he was six years old. His brain was a mess. Not only could he not play tricks, he couldn't even understand the hidden meaning of other people's words.
Why are you speaking so logically and concisely today?
Wu was not used to it for a moment, but she quickly responded and said with a smile: "Yes, mother is wrong, but mother did not mean that, you -"
"I know mother is doing this for her daughter's own good." If Wu was allowed to continue quibbling, Jiang Zhaoyue, the stepdaughter with a criminal record, would inevitably be at a disadvantage.
She continued her straightforward style, exposing everything and putting an end to Wu's schemes. "It's just that my daughter is already married and represents the reputation of the Zhenguogong Mansion. Mother, please don't go around saying bad things about her like you did before."
Wu said: "I——"
"The universe is inherently imperfect, and so should humans. Mother, please be more tolerant towards your daughter in the future."
"I--"
"Isn't the mother willing to be lenient with her daughter?"
"Of course I am willing."
"A mother always loves her daughter." Jiang Zhaoyue directly took Wu's arm and walked into the hall.
Jiang Shihong didn't know what was going on, but seeing the mother and daughter being so close again, he was very happy. He turned to Pei Jingzhou and said, "She's different after getting married. She's much more sensible and closer to her mother."
"Wasn't Zhaoyue close to my mother-in-law before?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
Jiang Shihong just said it out of courtesy.
After he handed over all the matters in the rear house to Wu, he never asked about them and did not know the true situation between Wu and Jiang Zhaoyue.
Pei Jingzhou's question stumped him. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Close, close, even closer now."
Pei Jingzhou saw through Jiang Shihong's guilty conscience, and he suddenly thought of some of the things Jiang Zhaoyue said when they quarreled today.
"Jingzhou." Jiang Shihong called out.
Pei Jingzhou came back to his senses.
"Come in and sit down."
Seeing that Jiang Zhaoyue and Wu had already walked to the entrance of the hall, Pei Jingzhou said, "Father-in-law, come in."
The two walked forward together.
Jiang Shihong always felt that it was not good that he did not understand his eldest daughter, so he took the initiative to tell Pei Jingzhou about Jiang Zhaoyue, who he knew: "Zhaoyue was very cute when she was a child."
"What do you mean?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"When she was born, her mother died. Her grandparents felt sorry for her and brought her to live with them. She grew up to be a smart, lively and lovely girl."
"Oh?" Pei Jingzhou asked in surprise, "My grandparents have always raised me."
"When she was six, her grandparents passed away one after another. But she was so adorable and endearing that they couldn't bear to let her go. On their deathbed, they left her a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry, fearing that the Chengning Marquisate would treat her poorly."
"And then?"
"Later, without the restraint of her grandparents, this child, for some unknown reason, became more and more willful, more and more..." Jiang Shihong also disliked his eldest daughter. Just as he was about to say a few words, he suddenly noticed Pei Jingzhou frowning, and he quickly changed the subject: "Now that she's married, she's grown up. It's great."
Without her grandparents to restrain her...she became more and more willful, more and more...
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhaoyue.
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately turned his face away.
Pei Jingzhou seemed to hear her angry "humph" and felt inexplicably guilty. He reached out and touched the tip of his nose, then followed Jiang Shihong and others into the hall and presented Jiang Shihong with a list of gifts.
According to etiquette, Jiang Shihong could only open the gift list after Pei Jingzhou and Jiang Zhaoyue left, so he just happily took it and said, "Jingzhou is thoughtful."
"It's my duty to respect my father-in-law."
Who is Pei Jingzhou?
The second son of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion!
He can be the top scholar in literature and fight on the battlefield in martial arts!
He is the second-in-command of the Ministry of Personnel at such a young age!
Now that he has become the son-in-law of the Chengning Marquis's Mansion, Jiang Shihong felt particularly proud when he said "I respect my father-in-law". His back was particularly straight, and his face was full of smiles. He personally introduced the young men and women in the mansion to Pei Jingzhou.
"This is my son Jiang Junyi." Jiang Shihong turned around and said, "Junyi, come over and meet your brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law! Please give me your guidance in the future!" Jiang Junyi immediately saluted.
Pei Jingzhou returned the greeting silently.
"This is Junyi's twin sister Jiang Wanxue." Jiang Shihong called out, "Wanxue."
Jiang Shihong is handsome, Wu is pretty, and their child Jiang Junyi is average-looking, but Jiang Wanxue is pretty.
Although she is not as beautiful as Jiang Zhaoyue, she combines the advantages of Jiang Shihong and Wu. Her skin is white, beautiful and charming, and she has a soft feeling that easily makes people want to protect her.
She slowly walked up to Pei Jingzhou, looking at him with a blush on her cheeks, bowed softly and gracefully, and said in a soft voice: "Hello, brother-in-law."
"You're welcome." Pei Jingzhou's face was as calm as water.
"Yes, brother-in-law." Jiang Wanxue slowly raised her eyes, staring at Pei Jingzhou with affectionate eyes, marveling at Pei Jingzhou's handsome appearance in her heart.
It was supposed to be her who married him, but Jiang Zhaoyue took advantage of him. She was unwilling to accept this, and when she slowly stood up, she deliberately tilted her body and fell towards Pei Jingzhou.
