Chapter 1140 The Eldest Daughter Who Was Rejected in the Engagement 36
“No, I have to think of a way to prevent that bitch Jiang Chunxi from participating in the imperial concubine selection,” Jiang Chunyun said bitterly. “Otherwise, what if that bitch gets lucky and is chosen to marry a prince as a concubine?”
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chunyun led her maid to her mother's courtyard.
"Mother, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" When Jiang Chunyun arrived at her mother's courtyard, her mother was sitting on the couch by the window, wiping away tears.
“It’s all because of that Aunt Song,” Jiang’s mother wiped her tears with a handkerchief, “She’s been clinging to your father all this time, even now that she’s in her postpartum period, she’s still trying to get him to stay with her.”
"Waaah! Ever since Aunt Song came into the family, your father has never come to my place again. Not only that, but Aunt Song won't even let your father eat the meals I carefully prepared for him," Jiang's mother said, looking at Jiang Chunyun with a pitiful expression. "Chunyun! I'm so wronged!"
"Tell me, what exactly does your father like about Aunt Song? He only liked your mother before, which was fine, since your mother treated me, her older sister, fairly well. She wasn't as domineering as Aunt Song, who wouldn't even let your father eat the food I cooked. She wouldn't even let me go to her yard, or she would have your father break my legs."
“But Heaven has eyes, and that wretched woman, Aunt Song, has also received her retribution. She lost the child in her belly,” Jiang’s mother said, and she couldn’t help but shed tears again. “But why is it that even though Aunt Song lost the child in her belly and is in her postpartum period, your father still only wants to stay in her courtyard and doesn’t want to come here at all.”
"Waaah! What should I do? With Aunt Song clinging to your father like that, will he never come to me again and treat me like I don't exist?"
Jiang Chunyun's forehead throbbed as she listened.
I really want to slap that stupid Yan across the face and shut her up.
“Mother,” Jiang Chunyun said with great effort, managing to force a gentle smile, “you and Father are husband and wife, how could Father possibly treat you like you’re invisible? Besides, isn’t there my aunt?”
"Although my aunt has been sent to the estate, no one can replace her in my father's heart. Once my father calms down, we'll find a way to plead for my aunt and get her back from the estate. Then, let's see how arrogant Aunt Song will be."
"After all, Aunt Song was just a novelty to Father, but she couldn't shake the position of my aunt in Father's heart. Otherwise, why didn't Father punish Aunt Song when my aunt caused her to miscarry? He just sent her to the estate. In the end, it's because the person Father loved the most was still my aunt, and he couldn't bear to punish her!"
“Yes! You’re right,” Jiang’s mother, being so foolish, was quickly brainwashed by Jiang Chunyun’s words. “Your aunt’s importance in your father’s heart is irreplaceable. Aunt Song only has a bit of novelty for your father because she’s younger. She can’t compare to your aunt’s importance in your father’s heart.”
Jiang's mother wiped away her tears and immediately felt much better: "Once your father calms down, we'll find an opportunity to plead for your aunt and get her back from the estate. Once she's back, I want to see how that Aunt Song will continue to cling to your father."
"Sigh!" Jiang Chunyun sighed, feigning a worried expression. "Mother, you know that my sister has never liked my aunt. If my sister participates in the imperial concubine selection and is betrothed to a prince as a concubine, I'm afraid she will threaten Father and prevent him from bringing my aunt back from the estate!"
“That wretched girl,” Jiang’s mother immediately became furious, “she’s not a daughter I gave birth to, she’s clearly an enemy from a past life, she can’t stand to see her own mother doing well.”
“Yes! Not only has my sister never respected you, her own mother, but she also hates you very much,” Jiang Chunyun’s eyes flashed with a triumphant light. “So! If we want my aunt to come back from the estate, we must prevent my sister from participating in the imperial concubine selection and completely eliminate the possibility of her being betrothed to any prince as a concubine.”
“That’s right, we can’t let her participate in the talent show. We have to think of a way to prevent her from leaving the house on the day of the talent show.” Jiang’s mother agreed with Jiang Chunyun’s words, but she racked her brains but couldn’t come up with any solution.
Finally, of course, it was Jiang Chunyun who came up with a plan for her! It wasn't a very sophisticated scheme; it was simply to have Jiang's mother poison Jiang Chunxi under her real name, causing her to have diarrhea on the day of the talent show.
It wasn't that Jiang Chunyun didn't want to rack her brains to come up with some sophisticated plan, but rather that a high-end car would probably only ruin things for Jiang's mother, who was a fool. Therefore, it was better to use a simple and crude method.
Time flew by and it was the night before the talent show. That night, Jiang's mother brought a food box to Jiang Chunxi's courtyard.
Jiang Chunxi was too lazy to waste words with her mother. When her mother held up the bowl of bird's nest and told her to drink it quickly with a kind expression, Jiang Chunxi took the bowl, poured the bird's nest into her mother's mouth, and then asked someone to invite Old Madam Jiang over.
This matter no longer just made Old Madam Jiang angry, but enraged her so much that she sent someone to invite Mr. and Mrs. Yan over that very night.
When Yan's father and mother arrived at the Jiang family, Jiang's mother was already exhausted from diarrhea. She was shocked to learn that her daughter had drugged her granddaughter to prevent her from participating in the talent show, and that her purpose in doing so was actually for that Aunt Tong.
Honestly, Yan's parents were so angry they almost died on the spot. Although they were already well aware of their daughter's stupidity, they never expected her to be this stupid.
So when Madam Jiang suggested sending Yan to the estate, Yan's father and mother agreed without hesitation. They even demanded that they wait until their grandson got married before considering bringing their foolish daughter back from the estate.
There was no other way. They were simply too scared.
If a daughter can be used to harm her granddaughter once, then it will happen countless times. What if someone uses her to harm her grandson in the future, and the grandson isn't as vigilant as the granddaughter? What if this foolish daughter really does harm him?
Therefore, the best solution is to separate the daughter and grandson from the granddaughter, and then consider bringing her back from the village once the grandson has settled down and started his own family.
As for sending Yan to the estate, Jiang's father naturally had no objection. Although he disliked his legitimate daughter Jiang Chunxi, if his daughter were to participate in the imperial concubine selection and be fortunate enough to be betrothed to a prince as a concubine, it would be a great thing for the Jiang family.
But that fool Yan dared to openly drug her daughter. Jiang's father was so angry that he wanted to divorce her. How could he possibly have any objection to Old Madam Jiang's idea? He even wished he could send Yan to the estate overnight.
