Chapter 908: Marrying on Behalf of Others 3
"Don't worry, mother!" Jiang Chunxi taunted, "My daughter would rather sever ties with the Jiang family than do something shameless like that. After all, if I really can't survive in the Wu Palace and go back to my parents' home for help, the Jiang family would probably wish that I would die sooner and be reborn. So do you think I would do something that would bring shame upon myself?"
"Oh!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "I'm not like your precious daughter who would do such a shameful thing as running away with someone. This shows that it's good that my mother doesn't like me. Otherwise, if I had my mother's careful teaching like my elder sister, I'm afraid I would be like my elder sister and run away with any man who seduced me."
Mother Jiang almost fainted from anger. She glared at Jiang Chunxi and left with her people.
"Miss, is it really appropriate for you to anger the Madam like this?" Xiaotang, the original owner's loyal maid, said worriedly:
Xiaotang had been serving the original owner since she was a child, and she was the only maidservant around the original owner.
To put it bluntly, the unfavored concubines in this mansion live better than the original owner's legitimate daughter.
"What's inappropriate?" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "I'm not afraid of death anyway, so I'll just do whatever I want. If I don't vent my anger before getting married, I'll never have another chance to vent my anger."
After hearing what her master said, Xiaotang didn't say anything else. Xiaotang had always seen all the grievances her master had suffered over the years.
She just couldn't understand why the lady was so partial to her. They were both born from the lady's womb, so why was she so partial to him?
Time quickly came to the day of Jiang Chunxi's wedding a month later. The ten miles of red dowry prepared by the Jiang family for Jiang Chunxi were all real, but they dared not do anything secretly.
There was no way, because Jiang's father and mother were really afraid of this lunatic Jiang Chunxi.
Prince Wu was drunk when he was helped to the bridal chamber. The bride, Jiang Chunxi, was supposed to sit on the bed, waiting for Prince Wu to lift the red veil on her head. But when Prince Wu came in, he saw that Jiang Chunxi had already washed and was eating leisurely.
The King of Wu shook his head, thinking that he was drunk and his eyes were blurry.
"Your Highness, are you going to stand at the door as a door god?" Jiang Chunxi rolled her eyes at King Wu while continuing to eat the noodles in her bowl. "If Your Highness wants to be a door god, then stand outside! Don't stand here and get in my way and affect my appetite."
The King of Wu is a mentally ill lunatic. If you treat a scum like him well, he will look down on you. Isn't the original owner's previous life the best example?
After marrying King Wu, she has always been gentle and virtuous, but what happened?
As soon as Jiang Zhihuan seduced him, he forgot all the kindness the original owner had shown him and allowed Jiang Zhihuan to kill the original owner and her son.
So, to deal with a scumbag like the King of Wu, you can't treat him well. Just look at how Jiang Zhihuan tamed the King of Wu.
"You... why did you change your wedding dress?" King Wu walked towards Jiang Chunxi with a shaky step, "Also, why did you change the red veil of the bride..."
"Your Highness," Jiang Chunxi interrupted the King of Wu, then took the handkerchief handed over by Xiaotang and wiped her mouth, then continued, "Your Highness doesn't like me, so why bother to lecture me on some rules? Anyway, the relationship between you and me is destined to be unhappy, so does it matter whether I lift my red veil myself or you lift it?"
"However," Jiang Chunxi frowned and looked at the Prince of Wu from head to toe, "Although the prince is a rough man, he is not bad looking anyway. Marrying the prince does not disgrace my sister. So I can't understand why my sister is willing to elope with a poor scholar instead of marrying the prince?"
"Of course this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that because the prince cannot hold my elder sister's heart, I am forced to take over the man my elder sister doesn't want. From childhood to adulthood, I have picked up everything my elder sister doesn't want, but I didn't expect that the man I married would still pick up the man my elder sister doesn't want."
"You don't want to marry me." King Wu's face darkened, but he didn't get angry after all.
Jiang Chunxi rolled her eyes at Prince Wu: "Don't you know, Your Majesty, that I tried to commit suicide in order not to marry you? Your Majesty, ask yourself, if someone forced something they didn't want on you, would you feel happy and willing to accept it?"
"I have picked up everything my elder sister discarded since I was a child. You could say that! The wedding dress I wore today was the first new dress I have ever worn since I was a child. All the clothes I have worn since I was a child were picked up from my elder sister's discarded clothes, and this is just the tip of the iceberg."
"Under such circumstances, do you think I should be happy that I am forced to take over the man that my elder sister doesn't want?"
"This... How is this possible?" King Wu frowned and said, "The Jiang family is a family of officials. Not to mention that you are the legitimate daughter, even if you are a concubine's daughter, there is no reason for them to treat you so harshly!"
After all, King Wu is now a man of honor and no longer the peasant he used to be, so he found Jiang Chunxi's words hard to believe.
After all, how could one be so harsh to a legitimate daughter? Even if it was harsh treatment of a concubine's daughter, she was not forced to pick up things that her legitimate sister didn't want from childhood to adulthood, and she wasn't even given a new piece of clothing.
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, why don't you send someone to investigate the Jiang family and you'll know," Jiang Chunxi rolled her eyes at King Wu again. "Besides, Your Majesty, do you think I have to lie to you? I didn't want to marry you, and I almost killed myself in order not to marry you."
"You can put it this way! When I married you, my lord, I never expected to be a couple who respected each other. I just hoped that we could stay out of each other's way for the rest of our lives and just be a couple in name only."
"Under such circumstances, do you think I need to lie to you? Besides, I'm not stupid. You can just send someone to the Jiang family to investigate what I said and you'll know if I'm lying or not. I would only lie to you if I'm mentally ill."
Prince Wu came to the chair opposite Jiang Chunxi and sat down: "It's not that I want to doubt you, but your words are too unbelievable. After all, you are the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. Even if your parents are partial to your legitimate sister, they shouldn't treat you so harshly!"
"Who knows?" Jiang Chunxi smiled bitterly. "Not to mention that the prince finds it incredible, I have never understood why my elder sister and I are in completely different situations even though we are both daughters of the same parents. Sometimes I even wonder if I am not a daughter of the Jiang family at all. Otherwise, how could biological parents treat their biological daughters so differently?"
"Your Highness," Jiang Chunxi looked at King Wu seriously, "What I just said came from the bottom of my heart. From now on, we should keep our distance from each other and just be a couple who get along well on the surface. Your Highness, don't think that you can get something from me that you can't get from my eldest sister. Just because you are the man my eldest sister doesn't want, it is impossible for me to have the slightest affection for you."
