BMECDAH 12

Chapter 12

Jiang Wei really didn’t know what to say. “So you forgive him?”

“Mm. It was I who blocked your father and the Second Concubine’s path; it’s normal for him to hate me.”

“Pfft! Bullsh*t!” Jiang Wei really wanted to kick this unfilial mother to death. “It was clearly he who married you for your wealth and status, he who swapped the older brother and caused your family to be torn apart, and he who murdered my maternal grandfather to steal his assets. Yet, you forgive that scumbag for the sake of your so-called ‘love.’ Aren’t you afraid your father won’t be able to rest in peace in the afterlife?”

Shen Peirong trembled at the thought of her stern father. “I believe your grandfather can understand my predicament. Don’t always speak ill of him; after all, he is your father.” She had her own hardships; why did no one understand her?

“Fine. I’m tired. You go back and be loving with your scumbag husband.” Jiang Wei pushed Shen Peirong out the door without another word. A second later and she really would have kicked her.

Shen Peirong looked around the room, which contained only a broken bed, and felt uneasy. “Xiao Wei, this room is so dilapidated. Do you need Mother to add some things for you?”

Isn’t the broken condition something you and Jiang Yan arranged? The original owner couldn’t enjoy this belated maternal love, and she certainly didn’t care for it.

Jiang Wei said, “Objects are unnecessary; I can sleep in this room for a few more days. Mother, if you truly have the heart, just prepare more money for me. I don’t want to go back to the countryside and keep eating soil.”

“Mother promises to prepare your dowry in a grand fashion.” Shen Peirong prepared to take out ten gold bars for her younger daughter.

“Ah!” Inside the room, Jiang Wei went crazy, thrashing at the air. They really were a scumbag father and a scumbag mother; may they stay shackled together forever.

Outside, the maid was smug—the Second Miss had been driven crazy by the First Madam.

In the hall, the Second Concubine and Jiang Yan had made excuses to leave. The vast hall was left only with Jiang Dahai and the gentle, virtuous Third Concubine.

Jiang Dahai, his heart aching, rubbed his temples. “Why are you still standing there? Go back and take care of the child.”

The Third Concubine beat his legs gently and obediently. “Master, I feel sorry for you.”

Jiang Dahai felt a bit flattered.

The Third Concubine, Chen Yiyi, was the illegitimate half-sister of the Second Concubine, Chen Xiaolian. Six years ago, when Chen Xiaolian was found to be unable to bear children again, she sent her half-sister to his bed to branch out the Jiang family. The Third Concubine was bland and uninteresting; usually, when she saw him, she trembled like a mouse seeing a cat. When they lay in bed, they might as well have had a river between them. As time passed, he gradually grew tired of her. He didn’t expect that she would say she felt sorry for him and take the initiative to beat his legs.

Lust stirred, and Jiang Dahai grabbed the Third Concubine’s hand. “It’s fine. Your master is strong. That rebellious daughter will be rolled out of the manor in two days, and we haven’t been intimate in a long time. Don’t you want to…”

“Master~” The Third Concubine delicately broke free from his grasp. “Master, I feel sorry for you because you are being deceived by Steward Zhao.”

“What do you mean?”

“Actually, some things shouldn’t be said by me, but I really can’t stand the things they do behind your back.”

“Who is behind my back?”

“It’s Steward Zhao. Actually, the rumors the Second Miss mentioned are all true. Steward Zhao has indeed admired my sister, but my sister chose to marry you even as a concubine. Steward Zhao wouldn’t give up, so he followed my sister into the manor. Not only does he harass her, but he also threatens my sister to call him ‘Master’ when you are not in the manor. If my sister refuses, he… he…”

“He what?!” Jiang Dahai was dying of impatience.

“He steals things from the manor and threatens to tell the First Madam that the Eldest Young Master was swapped. Oh, Master, why are you running…”

Watching Jiang Dahai’s furious retreating back, the Third Concubine went to the kitchen to fetch food and then went to find Jiang Wei.

“Second Miss, thank you for giving me the opportunity to take revenge on Chen Xiaolian and Steward Zhao.”

“It was the Third Concubine’s intelligence; I didn’t do anything.” Jiang Wei was focused solely on gnawing a squab.

“Back then, Chen Xiaolian tricked me into the manor under the guise of being ill, and Steward Zhao drugged me. They sent me to Jiang Dahai’s bed—a man older than my own father. Poor Zhuang-ge came to find me, but was beaten half to death by Steward Zhao’s men. The hypocritical Eldest Miss used the pretext of treating Zhuang-ge to threaten me into helping her do evil. If you hadn’t warned me that the medicine was problematic, I would still be kept in the dark by them. Second Miss, I beg you, please save me. I don’t want anything; I just want to take Xiao Tian away from this man-eating Jiang family.”

Chen Yiyi was only 20, the most beautiful age of a woman’s life, yet she looked as weathered as an old woman. Jiang Wei scolded her, “Stupid mindset. Why shouldn’t you want anything? Do you want to be ‘used for free’ by that scumbag old man?”

The Third Concubine blushed. “Second Miss, you are truly vulgar.”

“I’m from the countryside; vulgarity is my label.” Jiang Wei rolled onto the bed. “The government will soon implement a monogamy system. Instead of thinking about escaping the Jiang family, Third Concubine, you should take the opportunity to secure as much money as possible.”

“Really?” The Third Concubine wanted to continue asking, but Jiang Wei was already snoring with her head covered by a quilt.

The Third Concubine closed the door. “Thank you, Second Miss.”

Jiang Wei opened her eyes. The Third Concubine’s ending in the book was miserable. Once they reached Hong Kong, the Second Concubine feared the Third Concubine would threaten her status, so she exposed Xiao Tian’s true parentage. An enraged Jiang Dahai beat Xiao Tian to death and sold the Third Concubine to a powerful, depraved old man. When her body was discovered, it had been cut into pieces.

She hadn’t checked in yet today, so Jiang Wei opened the group box.

[Weiwei Qingcheng has joined the group chat.] [I Am Pregnant With Eight Treasures In The Beast World: Help! I just love reading beast world novels, but I don’t want to transmigrate into the beast world, and I definitely don’t want to run around naked! Which pretty sister can help me buy some clothes? Reward: Face-changing Pill x1.] [Weiwei Qingcheng: I have some.]

Jiang Wei accepted the task, picked out several sets of comfortable clothes and shoes, and flash-sent them to “I Am Pregnant With Eight Treasures In The Beast World.”

“Ding!” Host obtained task reward: Face-changing Pill x1. [I Am Pregnant With Eight Treasures In The Beast World: The clothes fit perfectly, love you mwah!] [In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man: Bubbling up~ Little sister, the Face-changing Pill can allow you to disguise yourself as someone else.] [Weiwei Qingcheng: Thanks for the tip, Brother.] She flash-sent the color-coded books she had drawn in advance to him. [In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man: Thanks for the mental sustenance, Sister Weiwei.]

“Ding!” [In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man] gifted host: Beauty Pill x1. Jiang Wei flash-sent the other two sets of BL paintings to [Apocalypse] and [Deskmate]. “Ding!” [Apocalypse Big Shot Always Staring At My Hook] gifted host: Dream-Stealing Space x1. “Ding!” [Deskmate Bullying Me After The Lights Go Out] gifted host: Super Strength Pill x1.

[Weiwei Qingcheng: Thank you big shots and Deskmate for the gifts, but I just wanted to share them with you purely out of kindness.] She was afraid they would misunderstand and think she was begging for gifts by sending things.

There was no response. Jiang Wei wiped cold sweat; they didn’t really misunderstand, did they? [In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man: The little zombie and the deskmate seem to be injured.] [Weiwei Qingcheng: Is it serious?] [In Ancient Times Sleeping With A Handsome Man: Quite… serious. They said they have to fast and stay in bed for a few days.]

It sounded very serious. Jiang Wei found two boxes of gold-wound medicine from the scumbag father’s supplies and flash-sent them over.

Exiting the Alliance Group, Jiang Wei swallowed the Illusion Pill, looked at the pot-bellied person in the mirror, and then pushed open the door.

“Second Miss, the Master has ordered… Master, why are you in the Second Miss’s room?” The maid doubted her own eyes, but the incredibly ugly person in front of her was indeed the Master.

“Stupid, how do you watch people? You don’t even know when I entered the room?” “Master, I was wrong!” She swore she had only closed her eyes for a split second.
