Aunt Fang was so frightened that her hair stood on end, and a chill ran down her back.
"Wen'er, this is all your father's idea. It has nothing to do with mother. If you want to take revenge, just retaliate against him. Don't drag mother with you..."
Aunt Fang was frightened and started pushing the pot. Jiang Wen looked at her panic, her eyes full of sarcasm.
How could she only see such a selfish person now?
Jiang Wen has never hated this family and her parents as much as she does now. If she could, she would rather not be born.
However, it's too late to say anything now.
…
Jiang Wen's experience is not a secret. Jiang Chuan can hide it from outsiders, but he cannot hide it from Chen.
Jiang Xuan is so busy with the women's conservatory these days that she can't even take care of her former rival.
She learned a lot from following Jiang Miao, and felt more and more that she was shallow and ignorant before. She didn't think hard about learning skills, and she was always jealous of her concubine, which only caused her status to fall, and made herself look disgusting.
But now that she has a career, she has become more cheerful, and Jiang Wen is no longer the same gnashing of teeth when mentioned again.
Today she came back from the women's hospital and brought the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she had just learned to the main courtyard for Mrs. Chen to taste.
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was sweet but not greasy, with a lingering fragrance on the teeth and cheeks. In addition, it was made by her own daughter. Mrs. Chen was so relieved that she ate several pieces before giving up.
"Mom, when can Jiang Wen be released?"
These days, she has witnessed another way of life for women in the women's hospital. Thinking of herself, a concubine seeking death, she feels that Jiang Wen still has a chance to correct herself.
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, she looked at her mother. Mrs. Chen's face turned pale and she almost crushed the osmanthus cake to pieces with her fingers.
She didn't know how to tell her daughter that Jiang Wen's fate was so tragic. Even though she had hated Aunt Fang and her daughter for many years, she felt that Jiang Chuan's behavior was worse than a beast.
As Jiang Chuan's bedfellow, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but feel cold. She also began to make plans for her two daughters. If Jiang Chuan made plans for Jiang Xuan and Jiang Lin in the future, would she be able to protect them?
Mrs. Chen had a lot on her mind, but she didn't want her daughter to know. She restrained her emotions and smiled at Jiang Xuan.
"She is sick. She is afraid of infecting others after the illness, so she has been resting in the house..."
"Really? She used to pretend to be sick from time to time, but now I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, dad is so partial to her, I'm afraid he won't let her suffer."
Jiang Xuan pouted, feeling that her worries were unnecessary.
Mrs. Chen gave a bitter smile, Jiang Chuan's partial favor was poison, and if the end of favor was like Jiang Wen's, she would rather her two daughters never get it.
Jiang Xuan came out of Chen's house, and the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong.
She knew how much Chen usually hated Jiang Wen, but this time her tone was not only not disgusting, but also pitiful.
How is this possible?
You must know that Jiang Wen's fate was something that the mother and daughter were happy to see. It was impossible for Ms. Chen to pity her, so there must be something else behind it that she didn't know about.
Chun Xing followed her, and Mrs. Chen rewarded her daughter with a lot of jewelry. Chun Xing walked carefully holding the sandalwood box, for fear of accidentally dropping her master's treasure.
Jiang Xuan stopped suddenly and she almost bumped into him.
"Lady?"
Chun Xing's face turned pale and she hugged the box in her hand tightly.
Jiang Xuan thought for a long time and decided to go and see for herself. Jiang Wen, this little white flower, must be pretending to be weak again!
"Let's go! Go to the West Cross Courtyard!"
She led Chun Xing to the west across the courtyard in an aggressive manner. The formerly lively courtyard now became desolate and ruined. There were no maids or women outside the door, but there were two handsome guards guarding the door.
"Who?"
They were hired by Jiang Chuan from outside, and they didn't know the female members of the Jiang family. Moreover, the only people who came to the West Cross Courtyard were rich men, and no young lady came to visit them yet.
Jiang Xuan was startled by the two people and took a step back. She didn't expect that these two people didn't even recognize her and dared to stop her.
"I am your eldest lady. Is Jiang Wen in there? Let me in!"
"laugh!"
Jiang Xuan originally thought that the two guards would respectfully let her in after knowing her identity, but unexpectedly, the two of them laughed and looked at her with an uncomfortable and vulgar look.
Jiang Xuan pinched her fingers. Chun Xing also noticed something was wrong and asked her worriedly.
"Madam, let's leave first..."
She always felt that these two people had bad intentions. They were not ordinary guards at all, but more like gangsters on the street. Their frivolous eyes made her feel sick.
"Well, go back."
Jiang Xuan glanced at the closed courtyard door, and the doubts in her heart became more and more serious. There was something strange about this west cross courtyard. Jiang Wen, a weak woman, did not need two strong guards to guard her, let alone this one.
The two guards didn't look like serious people at all.
It's not as if they are here to guard Jiang Wen, but rather like there is a secret in this courtyard, and they are trying to prevent the secret from leaking.
Jiang Xuan walked far away and looked back. The two guards looked at her unscrupulously for a long time. Jiang Xuan felt goosebumps on her skin, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
Just average, disgusting and terrifying.
The master and servant couldn't stay any longer and walked away very quickly, not wanting to stay here for a moment.
After the two left, the two guards looked at each other with frivolous desire in their eyes.
"So what about the eldest lady? The second wife of the Jiang family has become a little prostitute who is used by thousands of people. How can this eldest lady be so noble?"
Others don't know, how can they, Jiang Chuan's cronies, not know that Jiang Wen's guests were all let in by them, and the noise in the courtyard never stopped. They never knew that this noble young lady was called
She looks no less generous than the brothel prostitute.
I just don’t know if this eldest lady is the same as the second lady?
…
After Jiang Xuan returned to her yard, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
What are the identities of the two people in Xikuoyuan, and what is happening to Jiang Wen now? She feels like a layer of white fog is covering her eyes, and the truth is hidden in this white fog, making people want to clear it away to find out the truth.
She sat at the table for a long time, calming down her mood, and then called Chun Xing.
"Go and find out what's going on in Xikuayuan. Be careful and don't let anyone find out..."
Jiang Xuan also had a keen eye and knew not to alert the enemy.
She hasn't seen Jiang Chuan for a long time. She used to feel that she was not loved by her father, but now, she doesn't feel dissatisfied. Her heart is full of dark clouds, and the looming fear has been lingering around her.
Jiang Xuan felt that there was a huge secret in this family, and once it was revealed, her current life might be gone forever.
But she wanted to know the truth and didn't want to be kept in the dark.
West Cross Courtyard.
Another wealthy businessman came and left. Jiang Wen had long been accustomed to it. However, this time she did not pretend to sleep, but held him back.
