Chapter 474 1 Shoulder 2 Room 9
"That's enough," the old master slammed the table. "I called you back from the farm to take care of your grandmother's funeral, not to denounce Wenxuan. Besides, what did Wenxuan do wrong? He didn't know Yao Wanpei's fate was that of a deadly star."
"That's right," the second master also said dissatisfiedly, "If there is any fault, then you are the one who is wrong. Since you have already noticed that there is something wrong with Yao Wanpei's fate, why don't you do something practical, such as taking Yao Wanpei's horoscope to a monk for calculation like your mother-in-law and aunt did."
"But you, on the other hand, only know how to yell that Yao Wanpei is a jinx. Your behavior only makes people think that you are just jealous of Yao Wanpei. So, let alone Wenxuan, even the servants in the mansion will think that you are malicious and want to force Yao Wanpei to death."
"Oh! So it's all my fault, isn't it?" Jiang Chunxi was so angry that she almost laughed. "It's really hilarious. Even if I want to give Yao Wanpei's horoscope to someone else, the question is, will you elders tell me Yao Wanpei's horoscope?"
"After all, you all think like Cheng Wenxuan that I am slandering Yao Wanpei and trying to force her to death?"
"Chun Xi, just consider it as me begging you, please stop talking, okay?" Cheng Wenxuan said with a regretful tone, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault that my grandmother and mother were harmed. I, Cheng Wenxuan, deserve to die. Is this all right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" The eldest master looked at his nephew with concern. "How can you be blamed for this? In the end, it's all because of our carelessness as elders that you married a jinx like Yao Wanpei."
"Of course it's your fault for being careless as the elders," Jiang Chunxi pouted, "Forget about Cheng Wenxuan, but what about my cousin? My uncle and aunt are my cousin's biological parents, but you guys, just because Yao Wanpei is my brother's wife's niece, you didn't even figure out something as important as her horoscope, and you arranged for your son to marry Yao Wanpei."
"Humph!" Jiang Chunxi snorted coldly, "Although my cousin was killed by Yao Wanpei, it was actually you as parents who really killed him. Of course, my mother-in-law was also responsible. Just because Yao Wanpei was her niece, she overlooked the most important thing. Before discussing marriage, all the prominent families in Beijing would calculate the woman's horoscope again and again, and they would make very strict sure that there was no problem between the woman and their son's horoscope before they would finalize the marriage."
"But when my cousin and Yao Wanpei were discussing marriage, did they have someone calculate their horoscopes?"
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "No! I remember that my mother-in-law just asked someone to simply match the horoscopes of my cousin and Yao Wanpei, and my uncle and aunt didn't say anything, and they just fooled around with such a serious matter."
"So, my cousin's death in battle was entirely caused by my uncle and aunt. Not only did you harm your own son, but you even harmed your own nephew. But what you never expected is that Yao Wanpei is not an ordinary unlucky star. She is the black widow who will kill our entire family."
"Wow!" The old man burst into tears, "Son! It's all your father and mother who killed you!"
After hearing what Jiang Chunxi said, the master felt so remorseful that he wanted to go to the underworld to atone for his son's sins.
The second master glared at Jiang Chunxi fiercely, then looked at his eldest brother and said, "Brother, don't listen to what Wenxuan's wife said. If there is anyone to blame for Wenyong's death, then it can only be blamed on Wenxuan's mother."
"It's all that bitch's fault. Wen Yong wanted to marry any noble lady he wanted, but it was because of that bitch that Wen Yong fell in love with that unlucky Yao Wanpei."
Wen Yong is Cheng Wenxuan's cousin.
The gap between the Yao family and the Cheng family is too big. Even if the eldest master and his wife care about their younger brother's wife, they can't let their son marry a daughter-in-law whose family background is so much worse than theirs.
So Cheng's mother cleverly created opportunities for her niece and made Cheng Wenyong fall in love with her niece, which made the marriage come about.
The second master's words made the eldest master cry even more painfully.
It was indeed his sister-in-law who killed his son, but the problem was that his sister-in-law had brought it upon herself. Even if he wanted to blame her, he didn't know where to start.
So didn't this make the master even more uncomfortable? It was as if there was a breath stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down, and he was almost dying of discomfort.
At the same time, on Yao Wanpei's side.
"I'm done for. I might even lose my life," Yao Wanpei said while breaking down and crying. "If I'm divorced as a jinx, my parents will definitely not let me go back to my parents' home. Even if they are willing to accept me as their daughter, how can I, a divorced and abandoned woman, live in this world?"
Yao Wanpei never imagined that after she married into the Cheng family and had not yet made any effort to get rid of Jiang Chunxi and her son, she would face the fate of being divorced.
How could this happen? She was unwilling to accept it.
Yao Wanpei has been determined to become a superior person since she was young, but fate always seems to be against her. Whenever she is full of confidence, it always gives her a blow.
"Madam, there must be a way," Nuanfeng also cried, "I don't believe that the Second Master can be so cruel as to divorce you."
"Yes! Madam, the eldest young master," Nuan Yan said in a choked voice, "I can see that the Second Master still likes you very much, so I think that the Second Master will definitely not be so cruel as to leave you a way out."
"You don't have to comfort me," Yao Wanpei wiped her tears and said, "Compared to my own life, a woman I like is nothing. What's more, Cheng Wenxuan is not deeply in love with me. Didn't he promise Jiang Chunxi that we would be together for the rest of our lives? But in the end, he still married me."
"Nuanfeng, Nuanyan," Yao Wanpei said to the two maids, "I will return your indentures to you and give you a sum of money. In the future..."
"Madam, I will never leave you," Nuanfeng and Nuanyan knelt on the ground, and it was Nuanyan who spoke first, "I have been serving you since I was a child, and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Please don't chase me away. I want to live and die with you. Even if I become a ghost after death, I will still serve you."
"It's the same for me," Nuanfeng also said, "I was sold to the Yao Mansion by my biological parents when I was six years old. In my heart, I have no relatives. If Madam doesn't let me serve you, where can I go in the world?"
"Woo woo!" Yao Wanpei and the two maids hugged each other and burst into tears, once again angry at the injustice of fate towards them.
Why was she destined to be an unlucky person? Yao Wanpei really didn't want to believe that she was destined to be an unlucky person, but a series of events that happened in her family made it impossible for her to defend herself.
