Chapter 1108 The Eldest Daughter Who Was Rejected in the Engagement 4
This is why the household affairs were always managed by Old Madam Jiang, so the news of Madam Jiang's absurd behavior did not spread. Otherwise, with a mother like Madam Jiang, what good reputation could her biological daughter possibly have?
Of course! This is also why Aunt Tong is willing to cooperate with Madam Jiang. After all, her daughter is registered under Madam Jiang's name. If Madam Jiang's foolish and absurd behavior gets out, her daughter's reputation will definitely be affected.
Moreover, some things are best kept to oneself; there's no need to spread them around. It's like the saying "don't flaunt your wealth." Aunt Tong wasn't that foolish to publicize how Jiang's mother served her and treated her like a concubine just to show off.
“Master is coming home for lunch today,” Madam Jiang said, getting up quickly. “Then I must hurry to the kitchen to prepare.”
Watching her mother leave in a hurry, Jiang Chunyun revealed a disdainful smile: "Mother, tell me, how can there be such a foolish woman in this world? Sometimes, when I see Madam's foolish appearance, I can't help but feel sorry for her."
"Who says otherwise?" Aunt Tong revealed a mocking smile. "Having such a foolish mistress makes even me, as a concubine, feel a bit frustrated. After all, I can't use any tricks to fight against such a stupid person!"
“Mother,” Jiang Chunyun said with a slightly somber expression, “How could that bitch Jiang Chunxi give up her engagement with Chongli so easily? I just don’t believe that she really doesn’t care at all that Chongli has fallen in love with me. Her own sister stole her sweetheart, yet she doesn’t break down at all. Why do I feel so uneasy about this?”
"Alright, stop acting all innocent after getting such a good deal," Aunt Tong rolled her eyes at her daughter. "Isn't it a good thing that Jiang Chunxi gave up the marriage to you so easily? Otherwise, if she had stubbornly refused to give up on this marriage, would your grandmother have agreed to let you and Chongli get together?"
"You need to understand that as long as your grandmother doesn't give in, the An family will never agree to Chongli marrying you. After all, the An family values face the most, and they can't let their grandson have his way. So, it's a good thing for you that that little bitch Jiang Chunxi is smart enough to give you the marriage."
"Do you really want that little bitch to make a scene and force Chongli to fulfill his marriage agreement?"
“My daughter knows this too,” Jiang Chunyun pouted, “but isn’t this a bit of an unfair victory? It really doesn’t feel right.”
“And that old hag, Grandmother,” Jiang Chunyun said with a look of dissatisfaction. “We are all her granddaughters. I don’t think I’m any worse than that little bitch Jiang Chunxi. But that old hag, Grandmother, only has eyes for Jiang Chunxi and her brother. She doesn’t care about me and my brother at all.”
Aunt Tong also had a son and a daughter, but her son was only five years old. This was because Aunt Tong had damaged her health when she gave birth to her daughter and it took her many years to recover before she was able to conceive a son.
That's why Aunt Tong allowed Jiang's mother to give birth to a legitimate son. After all, the doctor had said that whether she could recover and conceive again depended on fate.
Although Aunt Tong was ambitious, she truly loved Mr. Jiang. Therefore, when she was unsure if she could conceive again, she had no choice but to reluctantly let Mrs. Jiang give birth to a legitimate son. However, when she became pregnant again, Aunt Tong regretted it.
But it was too late for her to regret it then. After all, Madam Jiang had already given birth to a legitimate son and sent him to study at the Yan family. Moreover, the household affairs were in the hands of the old lady, so even if Aunt Tong wanted to do something to Madam Jiang's son, it would be difficult. That's why she could only watch helplessly as Madam Jiang's son grew up.
The Yan family is the maternal family of Jiang's mother. Jiang's mother's son is fifteen years old this year, three years younger than the original owner of the body. He passed the county-level imperial examination last year. Although his ranking was so-so, he is quite talented in studying. He should have no problem getting a second-class degree in the future.
Oh! By the way, Jiang Chunyun and the original owner were only two months apart in age. Jiang's mother had a miscarriage while pregnant with the original owner and gave birth prematurely at seven months of pregnancy.
Without a doubt, it was Aunt Tong who did it. After all, Aunt Tong would never allow Jiang's mother to give birth to a child before her. The eldest grandson of the Jiang family had to be born from her womb. However, what Aunt Tong did not expect was that she and Jiang's mother both gave birth to daughters.
Of course! Madam Jiang found out that Aunt Tong had laid a hand on Madam Jiang. But despite Aunt Tong's viciousness, Father Jiang was determined to protect her and refused to allow Madam Jiang to punish her.
What's even more ridiculous is that Madam Jiang had told her about Aunt Tong's actions towards Madam Jiang back then, but Madam Jiang actually thought that Aunt Tong was just too fond of her husband, which led her astray and caused her to have malicious intentions. Instead, she begged Madam Jiang to give Aunt Tong a chance to admit her mistakes and correct them.
That's why Old Madam Jiang made the decisive decision to take her granddaughter into her care. She was truly shocked by the unusual way of thinking and stupidity of Jiang's mother, and was afraid that if the child was left with her, she would spoil the good child.
“That old woman has always seen me as a thorn in her side. If your father hadn’t threatened me with his life, I would have died at her hands long ago,” Aunt Tong sneered. “So naturally, she despises the children I gave birth to.”
"Hmph! Just you wait, one day I will definitely get rid of that annoying old woman. Everything in the Jiang family in the future will belong to your brother. If that old woman lives a long life, who knows what kind of trouble she will cause, and how your brother will inherit everything in the Jiang family."
"Mother always favors my brother," Jiang Chunyun said unhappily. "Why does everything in the Jiang family belong to my brother? They all came from Mother's womb. Is it because I am a daughter that Mother's heart is biased to the point of favoring my brother?"
“You silly girl, you have no conscience saying such things,” Aunt Tong poked her daughter’s forehead with her finger. “It’s true that I’m more biased towards your brother, but isn’t that only natural? After all, girls are going to get married.”
"Even so, didn't your mother do everything she could to plan for you? Otherwise, would you have been registered under the madam's name and gone from being a concubine's daughter to a legitimate daughter? And about your affair with An Chongli, didn't your mother also give you advice and whisper in your father's ear to get him to tacitly approve of you stealing Jiang Chunxi's marriage?"
“But you brat, you don’t appreciate all the things your mother has done for you. Instead, you blame me for favoring your brother. Don’t you think that after you get married, you’ll need your brother to support you? So what if your mother favors your brother? Only by letting your brother inherit everything from the Jiang family can you stand tall in your husband’s family and not be looked down upon.”
