Chapter 221 The Ungrateful Prince (Part 2)
Chapter 221 The Ungrateful Prince (Part 2)
When faced with an ugly man pleading for her help, Qingmo chose to ignore him, only resorting to 'killing him out of 'utter desperation'.
The original owner was different. She was a kind-hearted girl who couldn't ignore human life or stand by and watch someone die. So, she didn't run away alone.
Despite her hands being scalded and bleeding, she used all her strength and endured the pain to move the roof beam that was pressing down on Jiang Siyan.
The news that the eldest daughter of the Minister's family saved the heir of the Prince of Ruyang quickly spread throughout the capital. Both of them were handsome and beautiful, and the story of a beauty saving a hero became a popular topic of conversation, with people saying that the two were a match made in heaven.
Furthermore, it is said that the original owner destroyed both hands and was burned by fire, leaving her with crisscrossing scars and an ugly appearance. If the prince does not marry her, how will she live?
Rumors were rampant outside, and the original owner finally realized that a single wrong decision had put her in such a predicament. However, she was kind-hearted by nature and did not regret saving Jiang Siyan.
There is much speculation about whether Jiang Siyan will marry her or treat her with great respect for saving his life.
At this time, the Prince of Ruyang's residence remained silent, an attitude that inevitably led to much speculation.
Prince Ruyang was well aware of the stakes involved. If things went wrong, the reputation that his royal family had built up over the years would be ruined. But if he married Ouyang Ruoxue, all the rumors would be dispelled.
The problem arose precisely with Jiang Siyan. He only had Zhang Mengyuan in his heart and naturally did not want to marry the original owner of the body. The father and son were at odds, so the Ruyang Prince's Mansion did not immediately step forward to express its opinion.
However, the arm can't twist the thigh in the end, and in the end, Jiang Siyan compromised. The Prince of Ruyang's Mansion prepared generous betrothal gifts and went to the Minister's Mansion to propose marriage in a grand manner.
The original owner of this body was actually unwilling to marry Jiang Siyan. She had seen with her own eyes that he was affectionate with other women, so how could she possibly want to marry him?
However, the situation was pressing. On the one hand, they couldn't afford to offend the Prince of Ruyang's mansion, and on the other hand, her reputation was damaged and she had physical disabilities, so she was afraid she would have difficulty finding a good husband in the future.
Considering various factors, when her father came to ask for the original owner's opinion, she still agreed. She couldn't disagree; could her family really refuse the Prince of Ruyang's mansion? That would be utterly humiliating.
And so, the original owner married Jiang Siyan.
Originally, she thought that since Jiang Siyan had someone in his heart, she should be a dutiful and proper wife of the heir apparent, and it would be good if the two of them treated each other with respect.
She just didn't expect that married life wouldn't be as peaceful as she had imagined.
On their wedding night, Jiang Siyan tormented her like an animal, venting all his resentment on the original owner of the body.
He grabbed her by the neck and questioned her repeatedly: "Tell me, why were you there? Was all of this your conspiracy? You set the fire, didn't you? Ouyang Ruoxue, you really went to great lengths to marry me."
The original owner wept, shaking her head: "Cough cough cough, no, it wasn't me, husband, let me go, I didn't."
Jiang Siyan stared at her with red eyes, his grip on her still tight. He only released her when the original owner was about to faint.
"Ha, even if you didn't start the fire, you're still involved. Who asked you to save me? Did I need you to save me? You just want to take advantage of my kindness and force me to marry you."
"Hahaha, you all forced me, you all forced me to break my promise to Mengyuan. Let me tell you, Ouyang Ruoxue, don't think that you can get my love just because you married me. You don't deserve it. You're a slut, a slut who tries to please me."
As she spoke, Jiang Siyan tore the original owner's clothes to shreds without any mercy. As for what happened next, let's not go into details.
It can only be said that men are animals that think with their lower bodies.
He may say he hates you to death, and he may loathe you in his heart, but when he goes crazy, he does it all the time.
And he kept saying that this was my revenge against you.
yue...
Jiang Siyan hated the original owner of the body and never treated her as his wife. He not only tormented her in bed every day, but also showed her no respect in front of the servants.
The original owner was bullied by servants, harassed by her mother-in-law, and abused by her husband. All of this made her disheartened. Despite having the title of a prince's wife, she lived like a walking corpse.
Within three months, Jiang Siyan brought Zhang Mengyuan into the house. The two were already secretly pregnant, so it was no longer possible for her not to enter the house. Meanwhile, the original owner of the house had not conceived after three months of marriage, which made Princess Ruyang even more dissatisfied with her.
How could she have gotten pregnant when she was given the contraceptive soup every single day? She didn't believe the princess didn't know; she did know, but she still blamed the original owner of all the blame.
“Miss, the Prince of Ruyang’s mansion is going too far. Let’s go back to the mansion and tell the master so that he can stand up for you.”
The original owner shook his head: "The Prince of Ruyang's mansion is powerful. How can I tell my father and make him worry about me? I'm already in this state. If I implicate the Minister's mansion and my younger brothers and sisters, I will truly be a sinner for all eternity."
Upon entering the house, Zhang Mengyuan harbored even greater resentment towards the original owner for stealing her title as the heir's wife. Relying on Jiang Siyan's favor and the child in her womb, she constantly made things difficult for and framed the original owner.
The original owner wanted a divorce, but Jiang Siyan refused. He wanted to trap her in the Ruyang Prince's Mansion and let her die there.
There was no precedent in this dynasty for elevating a concubine to the status of a wife, so Jiang Siyan naturally wouldn't dare to do so. Therefore, even if he divorced the original owner, Zhang Mengyuan would not be able to take her place.
Rather than marrying another princess in the future, it's better to keep the original owner under control. At least Zhang Mengyuan's power in the mansion is equivalent to that of a princess.
Everyone treated the original owner as a mere decoration. They forbade her from giving birth to a legitimate son, and even more so from dying. They wanted her to suffer a fate worse than death, to be trapped and die a miserable life.
