Chapter 24 Jiang Mianmian plans to run away with her granddaughter
At the same time, "Li Tingxue" not only resolutely divorced Shen Xiuyan, but also completely severed ties between the two.
Subsequently, she turned around and took her beloved adopted daughter with her, and remarried Situ Junwen, becoming his second wife.
Her beloved adopted daughter was renamed Situ Mengli and became Situ Junwen's legitimate daughter, and was even granted the title of Princess Chang Le.
Desperate to avenge her father, Le'an plotted an assassination attempt against Situ Mengli. Unfortunately, fate intervened, and the assassination failed.
Even more tragically, when Le'an's older brothers learned of this, they were enraged and beat her half to death, breaking both her legs and feet, saying that this was the price for hurting their sister.
They are both ridiculous and extremely cruel!
In that bitterly cold winter month, they heartlessly abandoned Le'an on the street.
Alone and helpless, Le'an slowly lost the warmth of life in the freezing cold, eventually freezing to death on the street and being devoured by wild dogs.
However, to their surprise, when it came time to discuss marriage, Situ Mengli did not choose any of the four of them, but was instead married to a handsome man who suddenly appeared.
The four watched as their beloved married another man in a wedding gown, but they felt no anger or resentment. Instead, they remained steadfast in their decision to silently protect Situ Mengli for the rest of their lives. In the end, the four could only spend the rest of their lives in solitude.
"My God, what kind of lousy plot is this?!"
What heinous crimes did Shen Xiuyan commit in his past life that led to his endless entanglement with Situ Junwen and Han Lanjiao?
Did he slaughter Situ Junwen's entire family, or did he desecrate Han Lanjiao's ancestral graves? No matter what, it's impossible to escape the insidious scheming of that couple.
At first, they tried to switch the baby but failed. Now, an even more bizarre case of possession has emerged! It's truly one problem after another!
At this moment, Jiang Mianmian felt completely overwhelmed. Faced with such a bizarre, fantastical, and illogical situation, she was truly at a loss!
Although she was the matriarch of the Marquis's household and regularly visited temples to devoutly pray for Buddha's protection, Buddha was far above and would never interfere in her family's trivial matters.
What should she do now that she's been possessed in this bizarre situation?
Should she send someone to a temple to invite a high-ranking monk to come out of seclusion and help, or go to a Taoist temple to find a virtuous person to subdue the demon?
Or perhaps they should send people to search for powerful sorcerers and capture Han Lanjiao in one fell swoop?
Jiang Mianmian paced back and forth in the room, racking her brains for a solution, but the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, feeling as if no matter what she did, she couldn't change Le'an's tragic fate.
Damn! How did she end up in this situation?!
She gritted her teeth and made a snap decision: since she couldn't solve the problem through conventional means, she might as well just give up.
Today, she decided to take Xiao Le'an back to her hometown in Ancheng, away from this troublesome place. As for what the father and sons did, she'd let them do as they pleased!
Once they leave this place, Xiao Le'an shouldn't be affected by them anymore!
Jiang Mianmian thought that as long as they could leave this dangerous place, Xiao Le'an could avoid being affected by those dangerous people.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling a little more relaxed.
Okay! That's it. She didn't care whether the father and his sons lived or died, since it had nothing to do with her and Xiao Le'an anyway.
Having made up her mind, it was time to put it into action. Quick as a flash, she decided to retreat and flee first, and hurriedly called to Qingyu and Granny Li, instructing them to immediately pack up her valuables!
At the same time, Jiang Mianmian solemnly instructed them not to make a fuss. They should leave the Marquis's residence quietly as soon as they finished packing, and they must not let anyone else know.
Most importantly, let the two of them pick up the most valuable items. After all, if the good stuff is left behind, who knows who will benefit from it?
She couldn't let others take advantage of all her good things! She wanted to take everything, leaving "her" with not a single hair.
After receiving the old lady's strange order, the two looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
Just as they were about to ask what had happened, they saw the old lady rush into her room and quickly start sorting through all her silver notes and gold.
The two sighed helplessly, but they could only do as the old lady said and pack up their valuables!
Inside the cherry blossom courtyard, Li Tingxue was weeping, tears streaming down her face. She kept asking Shen Xiuyan if her complexion had worsened after giving birth, or if her figure had deteriorated.
Shen Xiuyan continued to sweet-talk Li Tingxue until she stopped crying and started laughing.
Suddenly, he heard Li Tingxue say, "Husband, since the child already has a wet nurse, I don't need to breastfeed him myself anymore. If that doesn't work, we can hire two more wet nurses; it's not like we can't afford to."
Shen Xiuyan was stunned for a moment after hearing Li Tingxue's words, and asked her in surprise, "Tingxue, didn't you... agree before that our daughter would be breastfed for a few months, just like our previous sons?"
"How...how could you suddenly change your mind and not want to breastfeed your daughter anymore?"
When Li Tingxue heard the word "daughter," a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. She then lowered her voice and said:
"Oh dear, my husband, you have no idea! Every night my breasts are so engorged and painful! Also, I've heard that if you breastfeed all the time, your breasts won't be as firm. I don't want to become like that; it'll look awful, and you won't like it!"
As she finished speaking, she winked at Shen Xiuyan in a teasing manner!
Shen Xiuyan was surprised by this reason and asked with some doubt, "Really? But when your grandmother had her sons, didn't she only start weaning them after they were six months old, and then find a health care nanny to specially regulate your body?"
Why are you suddenly worried now? Don't worry, even if that happens, I won't dislike you.
After all, you gave birth to my children, so I don't think they're ugly at all. On the contrary, I think you've sacrificed so much for the children and are a great and wonderful mother!
"Hmph, you make it sound so nice, but nothing happened back then. What if you really despise me then?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Tingxue started crying again. In an instant, Shen Xiuyan felt that she had become a crybaby like Lin Daiyu, which made his doubts even greater.
She's here, she's here, and that strange feeling is back.
