Chapter 1280 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 2
Chapter 1280 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 2
But Zhang Zizhao had already properly handled this relationship.
Moreover, his new wife comes from a prominent family and is quite shrewd; she is someone you really can't afford to offend.
Zhang Zizhao also said that if the original owner was not well-behaved, he would make her family suffer.
The original owner had no choice.
She had wanted to accept her fate and just wanted to raise her daughter well.
Unfortunately, Zhang Shu died.
He died the following year.
She was pushed into the water and drowned by the daughter of the legal wife, and outsiders all said that she accidentally fell in.
The original owner went completely insane.
After turning to the dark side, the original owner abandoned all dignity and learned those seductive ways to seduce Zhang Zizhao.
Zhang Zizhao was indeed troubled.
Yes.
He married the first wife's father, but he couldn't stand the first wife's haughty attitude and her condescending and arrogant manner. He also couldn't stand her constant ridicule of his incompetence and lack of ambition.
Frustrated, Zhang Zizhao ended up hanging out with the original owner of the body again.
It's unclear whether Zhang Zizhao made any promises to his wife's father, but as long as her father was alive, he wouldn't dare take any other concubines.
but!
Isn't there one at home?
After spending a few days with the original owner of the body, Zhang Zizhao noticed that the wife's expression was particularly unpleasant, which pleased him.
He then began to whisper sweet nothings to the original owner of the body.
The first wife was furious and repeatedly harassed the original owner.
The original owner didn't care at all.
What's there to be afraid of? She's been through the same thing all these years, hasn't she?
Under Zhang Zizhao's feigned affection, the original owner gradually gained a foothold in the mansion, bought off people, and even tried to sow discord between Zhang Zizhao and his wife.
After several years of hard work, the results are finally in sight.
Just then, the wife's father died!
This is truly a cause for universal celebration!
The original owner immediately used provocative words and expressions of sympathy to persuade Zhang's grandmother and mother, who had suffered a lot of oppression from the first wife over the years, to arrange for Zhang Zizhao to take a concubine.
"Grandmother, in all these years, the lady of the house has had no children. My husband has not had a single son!"
“Father, offspring are of utmost importance. Are you suggesting that my husband should observe mourning for his father-in-law? You are still alive and well. Besides, if we do that, wouldn’t outsiders say that my husband is… a live-in son-in-law?”
"Mother, how well has the madam treated you all these years... Back in the countryside, my entire dowry was..."
In just a few words, every single one of them pinpointed the weaknesses of the Zhang family.
Soon, Grandmother Zhang and Mother Zhang brought several concubines into the house.
At the end of the year, one of the concubines became pregnant.
Without saying a word, the original owner used the child to wreak havoc on the entire Zhang family.
With the original owner's great help, not a single child in the Zhang family was able to be born safely.
The Zhang family panicked, all believing that the legal wife was behind it.
The Zhang family is in even greater chaos.
At the time, the wife was pregnant. She had to suppress the concubines in the household, manage the affairs of the household, deal with the difficulties caused by the Zhang family, and endure Zhang Zizhao's neglect...
There are too many things going on.
Seeing that she couldn't free herself, the original owner took the opportunity to drown her daughter in the pool and then planned to murder the child in her womb.
Unfortunately, this time the original owner was caught red-handed.
The previous events were also investigated one by one.
The original owner thus became a poisonous woman.
No one cares why she became like this; everyone stands on moral high ground to condemn, despise, and insult her…
But it doesn't matter.
The original owner eventually came to a realization.
While being punished in the ancestral hall, she laughed maniacally and smashed a memorial tablet, causing the wife to miscarry. Then she rushed forward and bit off two ounces of flesh from Zhang Zizhao's body.
"Hahaha~"
“My daughter is dead, and your Zhang family is not worthy of having any more children! I burned your old Zhang family graves to the ground a few years ago, so your ancestors are all buried underground, unable to be reincarnated!”
"Retribution, you all deserve it!!!"
After saying that, he smashed his head against the wall and died.
Thus, the tragic life of the original owner came to an end.
After reading it, Shu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, "The Zhang family is truly a den of wolves and tigers!"
"More than that."
003 scoffed lightly, "The original owner was favored, so her father was killed by Zhang Zizhao's legal wife, and her mother couldn't protect the huge family business and died as well. All the family's money went to the clan."
Otherwise, how could the original owner have gone completely insane?
She was truly ruthless when it came to harming people. In his later years, Zhang's father was paralyzed by her, several of his concubines died, and his children, not to mention those, could only live in the womb.
If it is born, it will be stillborn.
As for Grandmother Zhang and Mother Zhang, they were allowed to live on because they could cause trouble for the first wife.
But he also suffers from frequent minor illnesses.
When they fell ill, the two of them would go and torment the wife.
But it made the original owner very happy!
"So, was the original owner's target... her daughter, or her parents?"
Shu Jiao asked.
"Her daughter,"
003 explained, "She was demoted from the principal wife to a concubine, and her father helped her because of Zhang Zizhao's promise of protection."
An only daughter is an only daughter.
but!
Hasn't she already gotten married?
We've finally managed to get on good terms with this powerful figure, we can't let go of it.
What's wrong with the concubine?
As long as a concubine keeps her husband hooked, she might be even better than the principal wife.
Her father quickly calmed himself down.
Her father probably thought that if he kept two more mistresses, he could definitely have another son.
For a son who didn't even exist, he sent himself to hell. The original owner should be grateful he doesn't hate him, let alone hold onto the past?
And Shu's mother.
Although they disagreed, they remained silent.
What's the difference between that and agreeing?
"That's easy to handle."
Shu Jiao touched her chin, wondering what time it was.
At this moment...
The entire Zhang family, young and old, will soon be welcomed into the capital, won't they?
No!
She was not willing to go to the capital like this, only to be bullied by Zhang Zizhao and his new wife, all while being labeled a concubine.
Do you expect her to take care of the Zhang family all the way?
She couldn't bear this injustice!
Thinking back on everything the original owner had experienced, Shu Jiao closed her eyes. "I can't sleep. San'er, let's go, let's stir things up."
003:! ! !
"Okay, dear host sister, what are you planning to do?"
003 suddenly turned into a pinched sound, his voice filled with indescribable excitement.
Shu Jiao got up with a slight movement.
This house is located in Zhang Zizhao's hometown. It was newly built after the original owner married into the family, and the house is quite spacious.
This is not critical.
If you head west for less than 15 minutes and then climb half a hillside, you will reach the Zhang family ancestral graves.
What are we talking about?
Since the original owner of this body threatened the Zhang family by saying that she burned down the Zhang family's ancestral graves, then she has to help the original owner confirm it, right?
So Shu Jiao wandered out.
It was late at night, and all the lights in the houses were off. Apart from the chirping of cicadas and croaking of frogs, there was no other sound at all.
Shu Jiao's journey went smoothly.
"I must say, the air was really nice back then."
It looks natural.
Shu Jiao appeared relaxed and carefree, as if she were on vacation. Little did anyone know that she was plotting how to burn down someone else's ancestral graves!
"Host, the trend is in the west."
003 reminded.
If we're going to burn, we should burn against the wind; that way, it'll be faster and more accurate.
003 quickly pointed to Shu Jiao, "Host, don't be afraid of hurting innocent people. This whole area is the ancestral graveyard of the Zhang family."
The Zhang family is indeed a scholarly family.
However, they fled to Lijia Village due to famine and stayed there for generations. Their ancestral graves are buried on this mountain.
There are no external graves here at all.
The graves in Lijia Village are buried on other hilltops.
