Chapter 639: The Cannon Fodder Concubine Sister in the Story of the Concubine
"Okay, did you hear what I just said? You look so ugly when you cry!"
As soon as she opened her eyes, Jiang Yueshu was scolded.
She looked at the girl in front of her who looked almost the same as herself, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Start receiving memories.
The original owner, Jiang Yueshu, was an unfavored concubine's daughter in the mansion of the Minister of Rites in the capital. The mistress of the mansion was strong, the daughter was spoiled and arrogant, and the concubine was weak. She only hoped to find a good match as soon as possible and leave the mansion.
I don’t ask for wealth, honor or power, I just want my husband and I to live in harmony.
Moreover, with her status as a concubine's daughter and the oppression from her mistress, it was impossible for her to find a good marriage, so she took the initiative to look for a good family.
Liu Yuanbao, the son of a merchant in Beijing, is the one she has her eyes on.
The two of them had similar personalities and soon fell in love with each other. As soon as the marriage of the eldest daughter of the mansion, Jiang Yueyao, was decided, Liu Yuanbao went to propose marriage.
But within two months of the agreement, Jiang Yueshu was found by the mistress and forced to marry into the Pei Guogong Mansion.
There are two most famous sons in the Peiguo Mansion.
The first one was the eldest son Pei Xian. His mother died early, so he joined the army when he was young and achieved many military merits. Unfortunately, God was jealous of his talent, and his face and legs were disfigured when he returned to Beijing.
This instantly scared away all the noble ladies, making it very difficult for them to get married.
The second one is the second legitimate son Pei Yan, born to the second wife of the Duke's Mansion. He is proficient in both civil and military strategies.
After succeeding Pei Xian in the army, he made even more outstanding military achievements and became a sought-after figure among the noble ladies in the capital.
Unfortunately, Pei Yan brought a female doctor with him when he returned to the capital. After meeting the emperor, he offered his military merits in exchange for the emperor's grant of marriage, and declared that they would be together for the rest of their lives.
The person that Madam Jiang asked Jiang Yueshu to marry was Pei Xian, the eldest son of Duke Pei.
And all this is because of Jiang Yueyao.
When she and her good sisters saw the young general riding a horse parading in the streets, they fell in love at first sight and decided to marry him.
She tried every possible means to marry Pei Yan, but unfortunately he remained indifferent. In a fit of rage, she thought of marrying Pei Xian so as to trip up the female doctor and instantly hooked up with Pei Yan.
On impulse, she pretended to fall into the water, then rushed in front of Pei Xian, forcing him to marry her, or she would die in front of him.
Pei Xian didn't want to delay the daughter of a good family and had never thought about getting married, but he couldn't resist the urging of the old ancestor in the mansion, so he participated in the flower-viewing banquet.
As a result, he was scammed by Jiang Yueyao.
Thinking of his grandmother who was always worried about his marriage, he confirmed Jiang Yueyao's thoughts again and again and agreed to propose marriage.
But an impulse is an impulse.
After happily going to the Peiguo Mansion to propose marriage, Jiang Yueyao backed out again. She was unwilling to marry Pei Xian.
Unfortunately, the marriage had already been decided, and they didn't dare to cancel the engagement with the Duke's Mansion.
After much thought, Jiang Yueyao decided to find someone to marry her instead, and Jiang Yueshu, who was close in age and looked similar to her in the mansion, became her first choice.
They directly threatened Jiang Yueshu with her aunt, Aunt He, and Jiang Yueshu had no choice but to agree to marry in her place.
The two of them immediately found a sorcerer, who made adjustments to Jiang Yueshu's face so that she and Jiang Yueyao could share the same face.
It was told to outsiders that a concubine in the mansion was too playful and unfortunately fell into the water.
As for Jiang Yueyao, they gave her a new identity.
Some years ago, the wife of the Minister gave birth to twin girls, but they were harmed by a vicious midwife, whose younger sister was stolen away. Fortunately, they were lucky enough to find the second legitimate daughter, Jiang Yueli.
In this way, Jiang Yueshu married Pei Xian instead of Jiang Yueyao, and at this time, Pei Yan and the female doctor Ning Xuanxuan's wedding was also approaching.
Jiang Yueli was so desperate that she couldn't bear to see the two of them get married, so she came up with a vicious plan.
Taking advantage of the day when Jiang Yueshu was returning home, she asked Jiang Yueshu to poison Pei Xian in order to postpone the marriage at the Duke's Mansion.
Pei Xian always felt sorry for his wife, so he took great care of Jiang Yueshu in every aspect of the house. Although he was not the husband she had found before, Jiang Yueshu already regarded him as her husband.
Naturally, she was unwilling to poison, but Madam Jiang threatened her with Aunt He, so Jiang Yueshu had no choice but to pretend to agree, but in fact she was making excuses to delay.
Fortunately, the mother and daughter only mentioned it once, on the day of returning to the parents' home, and never mentioned it again. They just let Jiang Yueshu go back to visit her aunt from time to time.
Jiang Yueshu then let down her guard, but not long after Pei Yan got married, Pei Xian suddenly fell seriously ill and his health deteriorated day by day.
After holding on for three days, he finally collapsed.
Jiang Yueshu had only been keeping vigil for three days when her family came looking for her again.
Jiang Yueli actually asked Jiang Yueshu and the ancestors to propose that Pei Yan should inherit both branches and leave a descendant for Pei Xian.
At that moment, Jiang Yueshu understood Jiang Yueyao's thoughts. It turned out that everything she did was for Pei Yan.
Jiang Yueshu was heartbroken and refused directly, but Jiang Yueli actually planted a traction Gu in her, which directly controlled her words and actions.
The old ancestor thought about his eldest grandson and after thinking for a long time, he finally agreed to this matter, but was strongly opposed by Pei Yan.
Seeing that her plan failed, Jiang Yueli found an opportunity to send Ning Xuanxuan away. With the help of Jiang Yueshu, she asked the ancestor to drug Pei Yan. She then took the opportunity to enter the mansion and offer herself to Pei Yan.
Afterwards, she moved into the Duke's Mansion openly. On the surface, she let Jiang Yueshu take the blame for her, but secretly she seduced Pei Yan again and again until he became pregnant.
She had found a way to control Pei Yan, so she killed the original owner with one knife.
Recalling this, Jiang Yueshu moved his fingers slightly and felt the veins on his wrist.
The pulse is stagnant, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, with no regularity.
Obviously, she has been poisoned by the traction Gu.
Now it is the third day of the wake, and I didn’t expect that she would plant a Gu in the original owner at this time.
"Sister, I will obey your orders. But..."
Jiang Yueshu lowered her eyebrows and wiped away the tears on her face, then she hesitated and stopped talking.
Jiang Yueyao got angry when she saw this face that looked exactly like her own. Seeing that she was hesitating and not saying anything, she immediately lost her temper.
"Just what just? If you can't speak, why don't I let Chunxiang teach you?"
Chunxiang was a maid given by the Jiang family to Jiang Yueshu as a dowry, but in the end she was there to monitor her.
Asking her to teach me would be nothing more than a slap in the face.
Jiang Yueshu had experienced this kind of thing many times in her memory, so she was not unfamiliar with it.
"I, am not." Jiang Yueshu pretended to be scared and shrank back, which instantly made Jiang Yueyao feel much more relieved.
"Sister, today is only the third day since Pei Lang passed away. If I go to find my grandmother now, I'm afraid it will be bad for the Jiang family's reputation. It doesn't matter if Yue Shu's own reputation is ruined, but if it affects my sister, mother, father, and the Jiang family's reputation, then Yue Shu will feel guilty..."
She covered her face and sobbed.
Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting in the back, had a flash of light in her eyes. She quickly pulled her daughter closer and whispered.
"Li'er, don't be impulsive. That girl is right! Her behavior is really bad for our Jiang family's reputation."
"Mom, but Pei Yan——"
Jiang Yueli pouted, unwillingly.
Pei Yan and Ning Xuanxuan are a loving couple and have been married for several days. If things drag on, when will she be able to be with Pei Yan?
Known daughter Moruomu.
Madam Jiang knew what her daughter was thinking. She gently patted her shoulder and explained to her, "Li'er, mother is doing this for your own good. You can't just focus on the present, you have to look at the long term. If you really become a concubine in the future, will you still want to keep your reputation?"
Jiang Yueli was stunned.
Only then did he realize that Jiang Yueshu's current reputation was equivalent to her future reputation.
If she acted impulsively today, even if she became the concubine of the emperor as she wished, her reputation would be ruined.
"Okay, mother, then when do you think it's appropriate? If it's too late, won't that little bitch Ning Xuanxuan seduce Pei Yan to death?"
Jiang Yueyao spoke angrily. Whenever she thought about the fact that the man was not as good-looking as her but still occupied Pei Yan, she felt more and more unhappy.
"Don't worry, Mom must be worried about you."
Patting her daughter's shoulder comfortingly, Mrs. Jiang persuaded Jiang Yueyao to leave.
Pei Xian had just left, and it would be a long time before half a year or a year had passed, so it would be ugly if this matter was exposed. But she also knew that if she said this, Li'er would definitely make a bigger fuss.
She can only take one step at a time.
What's more, they also put a pulling Gu on her, so she wouldn't dare to disobey!
"Okay, Yueyao, you don't have to take Li'er's words to heart. There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion recently, so you should take good care of your late husband first, and don't do anything against the rules!"
After giving the other party a few warnings, Mrs. Jiang left leisurely.
Before leaving, he specifically told Chunxiang some instructions, apparently asking her to keep an eye on the man and report any problems promptly.
