NOVEL NEXT Chapter 47 Who would accept to be humble?
Still the same half face as before.
This slap made Jiang Zhi's swollen face even worse.
Yang Qiongxiang stood there, holding the table with one hand, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
She didn't expect... she didn't expect that one day even her biological children would attack her with the issue of identity.
Her daughter said she was humbled...
Yang Qiongxiang could no longer hold back her tears and slipped from the corners of her eyes.
Are you willing to be humble?
Who would be willing to be humble?
Who doesn’t want to marry someone else and be their wife?
When she became Jiang Su's concubine, Jiang Su was not a high-status person, and she was just a seventh-rank official at that time.
She is the daughter of a good family. Her brother works as a servant in the county government, her parents tend the crops, and she and her sister-in-law do needlework at home to support the family.
Originally I wasn't talking about marrying into a wealthy family, but I didn't have to worry about finding someone who could make a decent living.
With luck, you might be able to find the scholar.
After one hardship after another, I might be able to become the wife of an official in the future.
Just like Shen Yun.
Shen Yun is the wife, she is the concubine...
Yang Qiongxiang fell into her chair when she thought of this.
Doesn't she want to be a wife, a serious and upright lady?
She wanted to, but she had no chance.
Her brother had been a yamen servant for more than ten years and had no chance of promotion. He wanted to make a career, so he gave her to his superior officer, Jiang Su, who was their parent's official at that time.
When Yang Qiongxiang's brother presented Yang Qiongxiang, Shen Yun was in the third trimester of pregnancy. Jiang Su couldn't bear the loneliness and took Yang Qiongxiang as his concubine.
Shen Yun had not been married to Jiang Su for a long time at that time, so she was naturally sad about it, but no matter how sad it was, Jiang Su had the bad nature of an ordinary man, and it was impossible for him not to keep a concubine for Shen Yun.
So there is no difference if he accepts it early or later. The only difference is that Shen Yun gives up on him earlier.
Jiang Su and Shen Yunchu got married. They were young and handsome.
Yang Qiongxiang was also opposed to being a concubine at first, but after meeting Jiang Su, she was no longer so opposed.
What's more, Jiang Su still has an official position!
Jiang Su is still very young and will definitely not be trapped in their small place in the future.
In the future, he might be promoted to a second or third grade official.
This is something ordinary people like Yang Qiongxiang and others dare not think about.
As the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister.
A gatekeeper at the prime minister's door is worthy of a seventh-grade official, let alone the aunt in the backyard of a high official?
There are naturally more benefits to be gained.
The first is that she doesn't have to stay up late doing needlework for a living, the food and supplies will be good, and there will be people to take care of her.
There must be extra money to subsidize the mother's family.
That's what Yang Qiongxiang thought at that time.
But when Yang Qiongxiang actually became a concubine, she realized that it was not like that.
Concubines are destined to be inferior to others. Concubines are not worthy of publicity, and even the children they bear are looked down upon by others.
In the future, even discussing marriage may not be accepted by good families.
In fact, these were things she couldn't achieve when marrying an ordinary person.
But people's desires will expand.
She originally thought that if she found someone with an official position and a promising future, she would no longer have to worry about three meals a day or how many pieces of cloth would be added to the house every year. But she actually became a concubine for someone. After getting all these easily, she felt I don’t think so anymore.
She married Jiang Su, and as she gave birth to a child, and as Jiang Su moved up step by step, her character changed.
She would unconsciously compare herself with Shen Yun, and compare her children with Shen Yun's children.
She would feel that she was also Jiang Su's woman, why could she not be on the stage and be invisible to others, so why should Shen Yun be able to show up outside and get envious looks from others.
She would also think, why should her children be inferior if they are both Jiang Su's children? Their mothers are different, but don't they have the same father?
Because of these unwillingness, the thoughts of fighting began to arise.
Not only did she want to fight for those children who did not belong to her, but she also wanted to climb into a position that did not belong to her. To do this, she did not hesitate to stain her hands with blood and her mind was dirty.
But I didn't expect...
She never thought that one day she would be scolded by herself for "she is willing to be humble..."
It’s such a good sentence to accept one’s humble status...
Because of this sentence of self-denial, even if Jiang Zhi's face was slapped into a pig's head, Yang Qiongxiang had no intention of comforting her.
Jiang Zhi regretted what she said, but her regret disappeared when Yang Qiongxiang slapped her in the face.
Without any trace of regret, Jiang Zhi looked at Yang Qiongxiang resentfully for a while, then covered her face and ran away sobbing, back to her yard.
The maid next to Yang Qiongxiang watched, worried and wanted to chase her, but she hadn't completely chased her out yet. As soon as she called out "Second Miss" twice, Yang Qiongxiang stopped her, "Don't worry about her," she raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes. tears and tiredness in her voice.
But he didn't feel sorry for Jiang Zhi.
"Auntie," the maid looked at her wiping tears sadly.
Yang Qiongxiang raised her head slightly and stopped the tears in her eyes.
Then he smiled miserably, "She was right, I was willing to be humble."
The maid quickly said, "Auntie, you... don't say that."
Maid girls are basically sold to others by their families, but they can understand Yang Qiongxiang: "Second Miss, Second Miss is still young. She doesn't understand you, but she will understand you in the future."
"She will understand that you can't help yourself."
Yang Qiongxiang's collapsed mentality has been adjusted in this short period of time. After adjusting her mentality, Yang Qiongxiang showed a self-deprecating smile at the corner of her mouth, "You are almost at the age of hairpins, and you are still not sensible?"
"Then when will you become sensible?"
Then, without waiting for the maid to speak, Yang Qiongxiang said again: "Ignore her," she put her hand on her belly with a gloomy face, "What she thinks is not the most important thing now. What is important now is the child in her belly..."
Yang Qiongxiang's face became increasingly gloomy as she spoke.
Mrs. Wei just said in the side hall that when the child in her belly is born, she will put it next to Shen Yun to educate...
Thinking about it, Yang Qiongxiang's hand on the table clenched into a fist instantly.
dream.
If this child is placed next to Shen Yun for upbringing, won't she be in vain?
The children he raised around him still despised his identity.
If this child is raised under Shen Yun's knees and has the dignity of being raised by his legitimate mother in the future, will the child be close to her?
So what's the point of preserving the fetus now that she's working so hard to conceive?
Working hard to provide Shen Yun with a way to support him in his old age?
Don't even think about it.
Yang Qiongxiang thought angrily in her heart, and said with a gloomy expression, "That old godly woman asked me to put the child in my belly next to Shen Yun to raise. Humph, she is really trying to please Jiang Fu and her daughter. Do whatever it takes.”
"However, I won't let her plan succeed."
She stroked her belly, her shrewd eyes full of calculations, "It's impossible for the old woman to help us now."
"Now I'm the only one left," she touched her belly, a sad look began to appear on her face. Because of her pregnancy, her whole image was really worrying.
