Chapter 907: Marrying on Behalf of Others 2
Jiang Chunxi didn't wake up until the next day.
Of course, she did this on purpose.
In fact, Jiang Chunxi hit her head and it was bleeding yesterday. It seemed that the injury was serious, but in fact she had control over her strength and could not hurt herself at all.
So she was just pretending when she fainted yesterday.
When Jiang's mother learned that her daughter had woken up, she came to the yard where Jiang Chunxi lived with a gloomy face. But she didn't expect that as soon as the maid opened the door, she saw Jiang Chunxi preparing to hang herself, with her neck already wrapped in the hanging cloth.
"You...you..." Jiang's mother was shaking with anger, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get the second young lady down."
Jiang Chunxi didn't struggle. After getting down from the chair, she sneered at Jiang's mother and said, "Mother, if your daughter really wants to commit suicide, do you think you and father can really stop her?"
"Let's take a step back. Even if you can stop me from committing suicide, can I just let you control me? At worst, I will assassinate King Wu on the wedding day. By then, no matter whether King Wu is dead or not, our Jiang family will still be in great trouble."
"You... you unfilial daughter," Jiang's mother pointed at Jiang Chunxi, wishing she could beat her daughter to death. "You are a beast. The Jiang family gave birth to you, but you want to drag the Jiang family to death. How could I give birth to such a cold-blooded beast like you? If I had known this would happen, I should have just used a bowl of medicine to abort you when you were in my belly."
"Oh!" Jiang Chunxi laughed sadly, "If mother could have aborted me with a bowl of medicine, I would have thanked you very much. The greatest tragedy in my life is that I was born as a daughter of the Jiang family."
Mother Jiang covered her chest with her hands, looking furious, but she had to soften her tone: "What do you want? What's wrong with the King of Wu? Besides, if you can marry the King of Wu, you will be the high and mighty Princess of Wu in the future. So I really can't understand why you don't want to marry the King of Wu."
"If marrying the King of Wu is really that good, then why did my elder sister run away from marriage?" Jiang Chunxi sneered. "Besides, since I was a child, I have been picking up things that my elder sister discarded. The clothes and jewelry I use are all picked up from my elder sister's discarded clothes. Even my shoes are picked up from my elder sister's discarded shoes."
"Forget about the clothes and jewelry. Anyway, as long as I don't care, even if I picked up the things that my elder sister didn't want, it's not unbearable. But shoes are different. My feet are bigger than my elder sister's. Walking in the wrong size shoes every day is such torture for me. Doesn't my mother know this?"
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "Mother naturally knows, but you just don't care. Because in your heart, I, your daughter, am just an eyesore. You are so happy to see me in pain that you don't even have time to care about what kind of torture I am enduring?"
Jiang Chunxi wiped the tears from her face and said, "Forget about these. It's my fault that I don't deserve your and Dad's favor. You didn't starve me to death, so I should be grateful. But why do you force me to have a man that Jiang Zhihuan doesn't want?"
It's weird, isn't it? As the second daughter of the Jiang family, the original owner had used things that her elder sister didn't want since she was a child. Jiang's mother had never even taken her out to socialize. This led to the fact that everyone knew that the Jiang family had two daughters, but no one had ever seen the second daughter of the Jiang family.
"So what do you want?" Jiang's mother's tone turned cold again. "No matter how badly the Jiang family treated you, they never let you starve. They raised you well. The Jiang family owes you nothing for giving birth to you and raising you. You are trying to commit suicide and want to drag the Jiang family down with you. Aren't you afraid of going to hell after you die?"
Jiang Chunxi didn't say anything right away, but was silent for a while before she spoke: "If you want me to marry the King of Wu, you can give me all the dowry you have prepared for my eldest sister since she was a child."
When the original owner married the King of Wu in her previous life, the dowry that the Jiang family prepared for her was just some ugly things. There were not many valuable things, not to mention any money to keep as a treasure.
But when Jiang Zhihuan married King Wu, the Jiang family gave Jiang Zhihuan a dowry of ten miles of red makeup. The reason why Jiang Chunxi made such a fuss was to get Jiang Zhihuan's dowry.
"Mother, since I have put forward the conditions, I have made them clear. The dowry prepared by the Jiang family must satisfy me. If you and father dare to play tricks on me and make me suffer any loss, don't blame me for being determined to drag the Jiang family down with me again."
Mother Jiang was so angry that her face almost turned the color of pig liver, but she had to grit her teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you, the Jiang family will prepare a ten-mile red dowry for you, and give you all the dowry that originally belonged to your eldest sister. I will also prepare an additional 50,000 silver notes for you as a deposit, so you will finally be satisfied, right?"
To be honest, if there was a suitable concubine's daughter to choose from in the mansion, Jiang's mother would definitely kill her daughter, and then let the concubine replace the Jiang family's second daughter and marry the King of Wu. Anyway, Jiang Chunxi, the daughter, has never been out to see people since she was a child, so it is too easy to secretly manipulate her identity.
Naturally, Jiang's father had concubines' daughters, but the oldest of the three concubines was only thirteen years old. There was no concubine's daughter who was of the same age as Jiang Chunxi, otherwise Jiang's mother would not have been controlled by Jiang Chunxi.
"One hundred thousand silver notes," Jiang Chunxi said loudly, "You only want to use fifty thousand silver notes to get rid of me. Mother, are you looking down on the Jiang family's financial resources, or are you simply unwilling to give me silver notes? Otherwise, she wouldn't be so reluctant to give her only fifty thousand silver notes as a last resort."
Mother Jiang clutched the clothes on her chest tightly, her heart aching with anger: "Okay, okay, you are really fine. With such a big appetite, you are not afraid of eating yourself to death."
"My daughter is not afraid of any kind of death. Hasn't your mother seen it all?" Jiang Chunxi said sarcastically, with a bitter smile on her face. "So do you think your daughter is afraid of being stuffed to death? Otherwise, your daughter will perform a suicide by cutting her wrists for you. I believe that after seeing this, your mother will never say such ridiculous things to her again."
"You are so cruel," Jiang's mother said with a grim face and gnashing teeth, "You are just a lunatic. I am waiting to see what kind of end a lunatic like you will have in the future."
"Don't worry about that, mother," Jiang Chunxi said, "After all, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. After I marry the King of Wu, I will no longer be considered a daughter of the Jiang family. Therefore, I really don't need you to worry about what will happen to me in the future."
"A daughter who is married off is like water that has been poured out," Jiang's mother frowned, her heart aching from anger again. "I hope you remember this. Don't marry the King of Wu and run back to your parents' home to threaten us to back you up after you are wronged in the King of Wu's mansion."
