Chapter 969: Wedding 2
However, Huo Tingfeng, who was rescued by the original owner, was not grateful to the original owner. Just because Jiang Jiaoxi shed a few tears to him, or even without saying anything, he believed that the original owner took advantage of the opportunity and snatched away the marriage that should have belonged to his sister.
Then he demoted the original owner's wife to a concubine and married Jiang Jiaoxi.
This was a huge shame for the original owner, especially since her mother repeatedly warned her before her death that it would be better to be the wife of a poor family than the concubine of a rich family.
But unexpectedly, the original owner became someone else's concubine after many twists and turns, and could not escape the clutches of Jiang Jiaoxi for the rest of her life.
That’s right, to the original owner, Jiang Jiaoxi was a devil.
After Jiang Jiaoxi married Huo Tingfeng, she continued to torture the original owner. However, when faced with the original owner being tortured, not only Huo Tingfeng, but also the other people in the Huo family turned a blind eye, completely forgetting that if it weren't for the original owner, Huo Tingfeng would have been dead long ago.
So, even though the original owner saved Huo Tingfeng, no one in the Huo family was grateful to her. After all, the original owner was just a concubine's daughter. A concubine's daughter should be grateful to marry Huo Tingfeng. Isn't saving Huo Tingfeng the right thing to do?
Therefore, when Huo Tingfeng proposed to marry Jiang Jiaoxi and demote the original wife to a concubine, none of the elders in the Huo family objected and they thought it was a matter of course.
This was not what the original owner hated the most. What the original owner hated the most was that one time Huo Tingfeng and Jiang Jiaoxi had a conflict, and Huo Tingfeng got drunk and broke into the original owner's room, forced her to have sex with him, and then the original owner became pregnant.
Jealousy drives people crazy, so Jiang Jiaoxi intensified her torture of the original owner, trying to make her have an abortion. However, the child in the original owner's belly was very tenacious. No matter how Jiang Jiaoxi tortured the original owner, the child stayed in the original owner's belly and was born.
When the original owner gave birth to the child, Jiang Jiaoxi was also pregnant. Then Jiang Jiaoxi used the excuse of having a miscarriage to make Huo Tingfeng come to the original owner angrily and throw the original owner's child to death when he was only half a month old.
After watching her child being thrown to death, the original owner went crazy and became a lunatic who could only smile foolishly. But even so, Jiang Jiaoxi still did not let the original owner go.
The original owner was secretly released from the house, and a group of beggars were allowed to rape her to death.
This made the original owner extremely resentful after her death. She wanted revenge, and would not let go of Jiang Jiaoxi, Huo Tingfeng, or even the Huo and Jiang families.
Jiang Chunxi sighed inwardly, there were too many people to be killed in this mission!
"Master," Jiang's mother cried and looked at Jiang's father and said, "Jiaoxi is our Jiang family's precious daughter. How can we let her marry a half-dead man? Given Huo Tingfeng's current situation, if Jiaoxi really marries into the Huo family, she will become a widow and her life will be ruined."
"Alas!" Jiang's father sighed heavily. "What should I do with you and your daughter? Jiaoxi and Huo Tingfeng have been engaged since they were young. If our Jiang family cancels the engagement at this time, how will the people of Beijing view our Jiang family?"
"And the most important thing is that the Huo family has decided to let Jiaoxi go to celebrate the wedding, so they will never agree to cancel the engagement." As he said this, Jiang's father looked at Jiang Chunxi, "Chunxi, if I let you marry into the Huo family in place of your younger sister, would you be willing?"
"Father, my daughter is only a concubine's daughter. Even if I am willing to marry into the Huo family in place of my legitimate sister, I don't think the Huo family would agree! Although Huo Tingfeng is only hanging on by a thread, he is the eldest legitimate son of the Huo family after all. Therefore, how could the Huo family be willing to let their daughter, a mere concubine's daughter, become the eldest legitimate grandson's wife?"
"Just tell me whether you're willing or not. As for whether the Huo family is willing or not, you don't need to worry about that," Jiang's mother said unhappily, "Chunxi, you should know that being able to marry Huo Tingfeng, a concubine's daughter, is a blessing you can't even hope for. If Huo Tingfeng's current situation wasn't good enough for your legitimate sister, would such a good marriage be for a lowly concubine like you?"
If they weren't afraid that that damn girl Jiang Chunxi would cause some trouble on the wedding day, there would be no need to discuss this with her. They could just let her get married in Jiaoxi's place.
"Since my stepmother has said this is a good match, I won't steal someone else's love," Jiang Chunxi said sarcastically, looking at Jiang Jiaoxi. "Huo Tingfeng is such a good husband, it's better to leave him to my stepmother! How can I, as her elder sister, snatch her fiancé away?"
"Jiang Chunxi, don't be shameless," Jiang Jiaoxi looked at Jiang Chunxi angrily, "I'm discussing this with you because I think highly of you. If you don't know what's good for you, then..."
"Shut up," Jiang's father scolded Jiang Jiaoxi, "How can you talk to your sister? You should know that it is you who is asking your sister for help now."
"Chunxi," Jiang's father then looked at Jiang Chunxi and said, "It is indeed unfair for you to marry into the Huo family in place of your sister. However, as a concubine's daughter, you can be considered to have picked up a great bargain by marrying into the Huo family. If you agree, your father will ask your mother to prepare a good dowry for you, so that you can marry into the Huo family with honor."
"But if you don't agree, then your father will not be involved in your marriage. No matter who your stepmother wants to marry you to in the future, your father will not interfere."
"Father, you don't have to threaten me," Jiang Chunxi sneered. "I'm just a worthless person. I can't make my own decisions about my own life, but I can still make my own decisions about my own life. The worst that can happen is that I can just hang myself with a rope and go directly to the underground to be filial to my aunt."
"Also," Jiang Chunxi looked at Jiang's father with resentment, "Father, don't forget that your life was saved by my aunt. If my aunt hadn't saved your life, you would have died young. But how have you repaid my aunt for saving your life?"
"When my aunt was alive, you allowed the Wang family and her daughter to torment my mother and me, and now you want me to marry into the Huo family in her place, Jiang Jiaoxi. You are such an ungrateful, white-eyed wolf, and your father is the perfect example of that."
Jiang's mother's surname was Wang, and Jiang's father relied heavily on the Wang family in officialdom. Because of this, Jiang's father was naturally biased.
But then again, Jiang's father was just attracted by the beauty of the original owner's mother, and he didn't really love the original owner's mother. Naturally, he would not slap his wife in the face for a concubine.
"How dare you," Father Jiang slammed the table. "You evil girl, you really think your father dare not do anything to you, right?"
"Oh!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "How could that be? I know too well how cruel my father is. If you didn't have any other concubines, based on what I just said, you would have ordered someone to kill me, your daughter. Why would you just slam the table in front of me?"
"Father," Jiang Chunxi sneered and looked directly at her father. "My daughter just said that I can decide my own life. Death is nothing to be afraid of. I am not afraid of those who wear shoes even if I am barefoot. If you want to threaten me to marry into the Huo family instead of Jiang Jiaoxi, don't dream on."
