Chapter 227 The Evil Woman
Chapter 227 The Evil Woman
There was a famine that year and many people had nothing to eat, so they started selling their children.
Qi Daya's parents discussed selling her to a brothel so that they could buy white flour buns for their son.
Seven-year-old Qi Daya happened to hear this. She didn't want to be sold into a brothel, so she tricked her chubby brother out and sold him to a human trafficker.
He didn't tell his parents about the money he earned from the sale and secretly bought food for himself.
She thought her parents would treat her better without her brother, but she was wrong. Her parents still beat and scolded her.
Half a year later, her parents thought of selling her to a 50-year-old old man.
The money from the sale can be given to my uncle's family so that they can adopt one of their sons to continue the family line of the second branch of the Qi family.
Qi Daya then secretly set a fire at night, locked the door, and burned her parents to death.
After becoming an orphan, she ran to a strange place overnight. Without a household registration, she had to become a beggar.
This begging lasted for four years.
When he was 12 years old, he was knocked unconscious and kidnapped by human traffickers. After being starved for two days, he waited for an opportunity and escaped with Guo Yingying, a beggar girl who was also kidnapped.
Unexpectedly, just as they reached a safer place, Guo Yingying slapped her hand away with a look of disdain, "Get out! You lowlife! You're covered in dirt, and you dare to touch me?"
Qi Daya was furious. She looked at the girl who was about the same height as herself, and when she wasn't paying attention, she took a stone and smashed her to death, smashing her beyond recognition.
She already knew that Guo Yingying was the long-lost daughter of the defeated marquis's family.
Why do you, just because you're born into a noble family, look down on me because I'm born into a lowly family? If I hadn't saved you, you might have been sold to who knows where. What qualifications do you have to yell at me?
Since you look down on me, then I will take your place and become the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion!
Before entering the city, Qi Daya specifically inquired about everything about the Marquis' Mansion, including everything happening in the capital, and heard a general idea of it.
Perhaps because Guo Yingying was too young when she disappeared, no one in the mansion could remember her appearance. They didn't even question her and simply recognized her.
Everyone in the Marquis's mansion treated her very well, and the servants were also very respectful. The Marquis's wife also showed great care and affection, especially to the Second Young Lady, who was a bit too affectionate and gave her all the jewelry, clothes, and snacks she liked.
This is very wrong!
Qi Daya, who has never had a good day since childhood, was not dazzled by appearances.
She racked her brains and thought about it, and combined with what she had learned before, she figured it out. It turned out that the reason the Marquis' Mansion found their long-lost daughter was to have her replace the second lady of the Marquis' Mansion and marry the tyrannical general's son, Lu Heng.
No wonder, they say a seventh-rank official is in front of the Marquis's mansion. Even if the Marquis's mansion is in trouble, it's impossible for them to just let someone in without investigating anything, right?
Qi Daya figured it out and tried to escape. Unfortunately, no matter where she went, she was followed by maids and servants.
Finally, she found an opportunity and escaped. But not long after, she was caught again. After that, she never left the house again until she got married.
Not long after her marriage, she was tortured to death by Lu Heng.
"I really regret that I shouldn't have rushed to the Marquis' Mansion just for the sake of a moment's pride and wealth. As expected, once you enter the Marquis' Mansion, it's like entering a deep sea.
In this life, I don't seek revenge, nor do I want to beg anymore. I just want to have a household registration and live a free and happy life! "
"You really don't want revenge? The Marquis' Mansion knew you were a fake from the beginning."
"I won't report it. If I hadn't broken into the Marquis's mansion first, I wouldn't have gotten into all the trouble that followed. Ultimately, I brought this disaster upon myself."
"Okay then. In that case, I will give you a stable life in this life." After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.
At this moment, Guo Yingying was just crushed to death. The next second, people from the Marquis' Mansion appeared.
"Yingying?" The Marquis's voice was choked, and she looked like she had found her biological daughter and was crying with excitement.
Sheng Jiang: ...? ? Damn, the original owner didn't even plan to bother you guys, but you actually came to me in this life?
"Madam, you've got the wrong person! My name is not Yingying," Sheng Jiang refused coldly.
"No, you are my Yingying!" Madam Hou rushed over and wanted to hug Sheng Jiang, but she dodged her.
"Madam, you've been hiding back there for a long time, so you must have seen me kill someone. Are you sure that this murderer is your daughter?"
The Marquis's wife was startled for a moment, then reacted, "No, you didn't beat anyone to death. It was this slave who accidentally bumped into a rock and died."
Ginger raised his eyebrows, Oh?
The Marquis's wife thought to herself, she didn't know what was going on. The Marquis came to the palace, and the Emperor actually ordered the engagement to be advanced with the General's Mansion.
I only have this one daughter who I raised with my hands, how could I bear to let her marry that cruel man?
Fortunately, the master got the news in advance and was determined to find his daughter who had been lost as a child. In this way, even if the emperor issued an order, his daughter would be there to deal with it.
The Marquis’s wife ordered the servants, “Quickly clean up this place!”
He pulled Sheng Jiang again and wiped his eyes, "My poor daughter! How much have you suffered over the years? Look at how you have become so thin?"
Sheng Jiang: Since you came here so eagerly, don't blame me for turning the mansion upside down.
"Madam, I want to ask, when I was lost as a child, did you ever look for me?"
The Marquis's wife looked embarrassed.
"It seems that there is no one. Since you have never looked for me, it means that you don't care about me as your daughter at all. Why do you have to pretend to be a loving mother?"
"How dare you!" the maid next to her shouted angrily, "How dare you speak to the lady like that?"
Sheng Jiang sneered, "Ha, what family's rule is it that the maid can interrupt the master when he is speaking?"
The Marquis's wife glanced at the maid angrily, "Qingju's words are rude, slap her 20 times!"
"My dear daughter, it's not that I haven't looked for you, it's that I haven't found you at all. For so many years, the Marquis and I have missed you day and night, and longed for you to come home every day. Fortunately, God has eyes and let me find you. Just come back with me, haha."
Sheng Jiang said nothing and quietly followed the Marquis's wife back to the mansion.
Madam Hou: I’ll deal with you slowly when I get back!
The Marquis' Mansion quickly announced that Sheng Jiang was the eldest daughter Guo Yingying who had been separated from them since childhood.
The Marquis had a loving face, and the young master of the Marquisate was also concerned about her well-being. The second daughter, Guo Yingshuang, even gave all her favorite jewelry to Jiang. Jiang accepted them all.
Soon, the emperor issued an edict for the marriage between the Marquis's mansion and Lu Heng, the son of the General's mansion. The marriage would take place when the eldest daughter reached the age of marriage.
People looked at Sheng Jiang with sympathy. Who didn't know that Lu Heng was the devil and the wolf from Zhongshan?
Ginger didn't care and continued to eat and drink as usual, and to collect whatever he liked.
Today, I took away Guo Yingshuang's favorite jade headpiece, and tomorrow, I took away Guo Bitchen's most beloved celebrity calligraphy and painting...
"Mother, look at it, this is my favorite bracelet. And that bitch took it away in the name of liking it," Guo Yingshuang acted coquettishly in the arms of the Marquis' wife.
"Shuang'er, she's just a beggar, she hasn't seen the world. She can't stay at home for two years anyway.
"When you marry her off, and she licks all the dowry as fake, then won't all these things be yours? Just think of them as being stored with her for now. Don't be angry, ha," the Marquis's wife comforted her distressedly.
"But that's still two years away! When will this end?"
"Be patient for now. Otherwise, you'll be the one marrying that Zhongshan wolf."
"Does our family have to marry into the General's Mansion?"
"That's what the Emperor meant. He needs to rely on the general to fight, but he's worried that the General's Mansion might have more help, so he turned to our declining Marquis' Mansion. My dear daughter, bear with it for the next two years, and I'll definitely find you a good marriage in the future."
After that, Sheng Jiang looted the mansion's belongings even more unscrupulously, including those of the marquis and his wife.
More than two years later, Sheng Jiang reached the age of marriage and was to marry into the general's mansion the next day.
The Marquis's wife took out some useless things as a show, and even wanted to seize the betrothal gift of Jiang.
Ginger pretended not to know and got married peacefully.
On the wedding night, Lu Heng didn't even lift the veil. "You know, our marriage was arranged by the emperor, and we don't have any feelings for each other at all. I won't lift the veil, and there's no need to keep me." After saying that, he left.
"stop!"
Lu Heng turned around and said viciously, "Shout? How dare you talk to me like that? I'm telling you, your father even spent ten thousand taels of silver on me. Even if I beat you to death tonight, your mansion wouldn't dare say anything!"
"Really? He used your money, so why are you going to ask him for it? Why are you telling me this?"
Lu Heng came over with his fist swung, and Sheng Jiang didn't dodge. He grabbed his fist and squeezed it like a stone, breaking it into pieces.
"If these hands are only used to beat women, they might as well be useless!"
Lu Heng's eyes were red with pain, "Evil woman! How dare you?"
"Do you dare? Aren't your hands useless?"
Lu Heng swung his other hand, but it was also crippled by Sheng Jiang, crushing both of his shoulders at the same time.
In the bridal chamber, Lu Heng's screams resounded through the air. The servants quickly informed the old lady. By the time Madam Lu arrived, Lu Heng's two legs were already broken.
Heartbroken, she didn't bother to scold Sheng Jiang and quickly helped her son up, "My son, who is that bastard!"
At the same time, he asked someone to quickly call a doctor.
"You little whore! You've caused such trouble on your first day of marriage! It seems that my Lu family is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you! Let's ask the Marquis' Mansion to come and pick you up tomorrow morning."
"I won't leave!" Sheng Jiang jumped up. "It was your Lu family who married me, not me who insisted on marrying you! It was your son who made the first move, not me!
Besides, it was the Emperor's order. You want to send me back to my parents' home. Could it be that Madam Lu is dissatisfied with the Emperor?"
Madam Lu was furious. "Okay, okay, what kind of daughter-in-law are you? How dare you speak to your mother-in-law like that? How dare you use the emperor to pressure me? In that case, even if I can't send you back, don't blame me for being rude to you in the future!"
Ginger ignored her and went to sleep.
The next day, the maid beside her pushed her awake for a long time, "Miss, it's already 9 o'clock, we should pay our respects to the old lady."
"Why are you saying hello? It's only 9:00 PM. Call me again at noon and get up and have lunch. I'll sleep in a little longer."
Mrs. Lu waited for the whole morning, but Sheng Jiang never came to pay his respects.
The other relatives sat in the room, talking a lot.
"This bride really doesn't know the rules!"
"That's right, sister-in-law, you have to set some rules for her later."
Madam Lu said to the old maid beside her, "Go! Go and invite them yourself! I don't believe any bride would sleep until noon without offering tea to her mother-in-law."
Not long after, the nanny came back limping with two big circles under her eyes, "Old lady, you have to make a decision for me. That bitch said I disturbed her sleep and beat me up too."
"what?"
The old lady was furious and took a group of relatives to seek revenge.
When we arrived at Shengjiang's yard, we found that she was eating and drinking as if nothing had happened.
"This is absolutely lawless, absolutely lawless!"
Ginger didn't even glance at her. "Your son is already paralyzed. Instead of caring about your son, you come to me first? As expected, I am more important than your son."
"Someone! Capture this vicious woman!"
The servants rushed forward to catch Sheng Jiang. Sheng Jiang picked up the barbed whip beside him and whipped everyone to the ground in a short while.
The old lady was so frightened that she sat on the ground, "I want to report to the police!"
"I want to go to the palace and meet His Majesty!"
"Old man, I'm waiting!"
That night, the old lady came running over triumphantly, "Hmph! The Marquis's family is incompetent in educating their daughter, and they're corrupt and accepting bribes. The Emperor has already issued an order to execute the entire family! Little whore, without the Marquis's family's support, I wonder if you'll ever be so arrogant again?"
Ginger's expression was blank.
The Emperor had never had a favorable impression of the Marquis's Mansion. He granted Lu Heng the marriage because he didn't want the General to have more power, in case he might plot something malicious in the future.
Now that Lu Heng already has a new wife and has been beaten half to death, the General's Mansion has nothing to worry about.
Since the old lady had come to complain, it would be a good idea to do her a favor. After all, General Lu was still fighting at the border. So, we took the opportunity to confiscate the Marquis's mansion.
The old lady's happiness didn't last long before she was pinned down by Jiang and beaten up again.
The beating left her unable to get out of bed for a month.
In order to make it easier to take care of her, Sheng Jiang moved the old lady and Lu Heng into the same room. He also told the maid, "Just eat one meal a day. As long as she doesn't die, you can take care of her however you want."
The maid bowed her head in agreement. "This new lady is too cruel. The old lady and the young master are already like this. Not only does she refuse to treat them, but she also beats them up every day. It's better not to provoke her in the future."
A month later, the old lady was able to get out of bed, and the first thing she did was to go to the palace again.
After a long and tearful plea, the emperor finally agreed to the general's idea of divorce.
Sheng Jiang held the divorce agreement, looking sad but happy in her heart. The money from the Marquis' Mansion and the General's Mansion is enough for me to spend in my lifetime.
Besides, the general would soon be returning to the capital. It wouldn't be long before the emperor would order the execution of his entire family for their achievements.
If you don't run now, when will you wait?
Sure enough, not long after, no one in the general's mansion, from top to bottom, was spared.
At this time, someone who was well-informed reacted, "That young lady from the Marquis' Mansion, is it because of good fortune? She just married into the General's Mansion, and the Marquis' Mansion was ransacked; just after she got the divorce letter from the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion was ransacked."
"Yes, yes, she always brings good luck and avoids misfortune. What else could she be but the reincarnation of a lucky star? No, I need to spend more time with her. May she bless me with a smooth life.
Or, I can ask her to tell my fortune."
In this way, Sheng Jiang inexplicably got a new business, fortune-telling!
