Chapter 867 Shouldering 2 Rooms 1
Mrs. Wu looked grief-stricken. "Yes! It was a plague. The pain and suffering that Zhifei and his son suffered before they died was simply unbelievable."
Then Wu's expression turned full of hatred: "You are right. It would be too easy for the Second Branch family to die easily. Zhifei and his son should be tortured by illness before they die. They should also be allowed to taste the pain."
"Then let's start with the old lady!" Jiang Chunxi said in a deep voice, "After all, it's normal for someone of her age to have some headaches or fevers. Plus, there's the Crown Prince's Consort, who is such a good scapegoat. The Crown Prince's Consort killed so many people in the Second House as soon as she entered the house, so it's reasonable for her to also kill the old lady?"
"Also, you can also put the blame on the Crown Prince's Consort for Yan Zhihao's inhumane behavior. She's her nemesis? Then naturally any blame can be thrown on her," Jiang Chunxi laughed sarcastically, "My daughter-in-law just ran into the Crown Prince's Consort in the garden. I originally called her sister-in-law, but she scolded me about the order of rank and told me not to call her sister-in-law?"
"Look! Even Jiang, who just married into the family, dares to look down on our first wife. This is enough to prove that in the eyes of the second wife, we are just meat on the chopping board. It is not worth them to treat us seriously. That's why Jiang, who just married into the family, dares to be so arrogant in front of her daughter-in-law."
"Humph! Who is Jiang? If the Second House hadn't killed my Zhifei, would Jiang have gotten the chance to be the Crown Prince's Consort at the Yongzhong Marquis' Mansion?" Wu's face was filled with anger. "If she dares to act so arrogantly in front of you, it means she doesn't take me seriously at all."
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then let's make Jiang Yuanran's reputation as her nemesis even more popular! I want to see how rampant she can be if Yan Zhihao is convinced that it is Jiang who jinxes him and makes him inhumane."
"If mother takes action, Jiang Shi will no longer be able to act recklessly," Jiang Chunxi said with a depressed look. "It would be great if my daughter-in-law could have some of mother's abilities. It's because my daughter-in-law is too incompetent that she can only watch from the sidelines and can't help mother at all."
"But my daughter-in-law has already thought about it. It would be best if what my mother did was not exposed. But if it is exposed, I will bear the responsibility alone." Jiang Chunxi's voice choked up as she spoke. "This is the only thing I can do for Zhifei. Zhifei is no longer here, so I can only take his place to be filial to my mother."
Wu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chunxi with disdain: "Come on? Do you think you can take responsibility for me? If it weren't for the fact that Zhifei also appeared in your dream, I would have wanted to kill you too."
"Mother, just kill me!" Jiang Chunxi cried, "Zhi Fei is no longer in this world. Every day I live is just painful torture. If I can go down to the underground and reunite with Zhi Fei as soon as possible, I will be more than happy."
"It's just that I hope mother can tolerate me living a few more years, at least let me adopt a child for Zhifei from the clan, so that our eldest house will not be cut off from the incense. Otherwise, when my mother-in-law and I are gone, who will worship Zhifei and my father-in-law?"
"You're right. We can't let the family line of our first house end." Although if she avenged her husband and son, both father and son could be reincarnated, wouldn't that be a loss for Wu herself?
After all, Mrs. Wu was not sure that she would be reincarnated immediately after her death, so it would not be acceptable for the first wife to have no offspring. If the first wife had no offspring, then who would offer sacrifices and burn paper money for her after her death?
When Marquis Yongzhong returned home in the evening, he received the bad news that all his concubines' sons had died.
At nightfall, in the old lady's yard, Wu and Jiang Chunxi arrived late.
"Mother, why did you ask us to come here so late at night?" Mrs. Wu's face was pale and her voice was weak. "I'm not feeling well. I just took some medicine and was about to rest, but I didn't expect to be called to come here."
"Such a big thing happened in the mansion, don't tell me that you don't know anything about it." The old lady said with a sullen face:
"Of course I know," Wu said self-deprecatingly, "but so what? I still can't get over the grief of losing my husband and son. Do you want me to be sad about my brother-in-law's death of several illegitimate sons, or care about anything else?"
"You..." The old lady was speechless because of Wu's words, so she could only direct her anger at Jiang, "Jiang, what about you? Such a big thing happened in the mansion, and you..."
"Grandma," Jiang Chunxi interrupted the old lady, "It's not that my granddaughter-in-law is cold and indifferent, but what kind of person is she in this mansion? Ever since I married into the Yongzhong Marquis's mansion, I have never even seen the prince once. Which servant in this mansion has not secretly laughed at me?"
As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi sent a sarcastic look to Yan Zhihao on the opposite side: "So what do you want your granddaughter-in-law to do? If she really goes to the second house to show concern, she will probably just be scolded by the second aunt!"
"Mother, why did you ask someone to call us here? It can't be that you want to vent your anger on us because of the death of several illegitimate sons in the second house, or you want to blame us for the death of those illegitimate sons in the second house!"
"Sister-in-law, how can you talk to mother like this?" Liu said, "Such a big thing happened in the mansion, so of course we have to call you and your mother-in-law here. Let's have a good discussion as a family. After all, all of Su Ting's illegitimate sons died in one day. No matter how you look at it..."
"Oh!" Wu's sneer interrupted Liu's voice, "I heard from the people below that Aunt Chen cried and said that her son was killed by the Crown Prince's Consort, so what's so good about this matter? It's clear that your brother-in-law's illegitimate sons were killed by your daughter-in-law."
"Aunt, Aunt Chen is making false accusations. As an elder, it's fine if you don't make the decision for me, but why are you throwing dirty water on me too?" Jiang Yuanran said with an angry and anxious expression, her eyes red with anger.
"Is Aunt Chen really making random accusations?" Wu sneered at Jiang Yuanran, "Before you married in, your father-in-law's illegitimate sons were alive and well, but as soon as you married in, those children all developed high fevers and died within a day."
"Given the situation, it's hard not to suspect that you are a disaster. Of course, there is another possibility," Wu looked at Liu, "that is, this may be man-made. Sister-in-law, do you think I'm right?"
"If it wasn't Jiang who brought bad luck to your second branch, then we can only speculate on you. For example, you can't tolerate illegitimate sons, so you killed all of them in one go."
