Chapter 822 I haven't taken revenge yet
In the curling morning mist, the shadows of the Daphne odora flowers are mottled.
The lavender flowers clustered on the branches. Shi Anxia stopped in front of the flowers and reached out to touch a half-opened flower. It felt cool to the touch.
Her voice was cold and indifferent. "That's how your mother treated my mother. At that time, my mother had someone in her heart, just like you are now, waiting for her lover to come and discuss marriage. But your mother was instigated by your cousin Zhu Xiyao and framed my mother."
Tang Chuyue was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. But she knew that An Xia didn't lie to her.
Although she was young and ignorant, she could vaguely remember some fragments that she had deliberately forgotten.
She was still young at that time, and her mother and cousin would not often talk behind her back.
My cousin Zhu Xiyao often said to my mother in a coquettish way, "Aunt still loves me!"
Later, he complained angrily to his mother, saying, "That dead wood just won't take the bait!"
Later, she heard Zhu Xiyao crying and saying, "Aunt, that dead wood has married someone else again, what should I do!"
The mother comforted Zhu Xiyao, "Anyway, you've done what you should do. Just give up on it. There are more than one man in the world."
Shi Anxia reached out and plucked a flower, then turned around and said, "My mother married my father because of your mother's plan. Tell me, should I avenge her?"
Tang Chuyue opened her mouth, wanting to say something to defend her mother. But when the words came to her lips, thousands of words merged into one word: "It's your fault."
No wonder my eldest sister got divorced.
No wonder my elder sister has been reluctant to return to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion for so many years.
It was because her mother was cruel and married her eldest sister to someone she didn't love in an extremely destructive and shameful way.
Shi Anxia gently pinned the purple flower in her aunt's hair, and said in a gentle voice, "Just because of this matter, we are sworn enemies with your mother. Not to mention, she also swallowed up a lot of my mother's valuable dowry."
Tang Chuyue knew about the dowry. Some of it was hidden in her mother's private storehouse, some was given away, and some was pawned.
Among them, the two guqins named "Risuo Yuesuo" were given away by her.
One by one, one box by one, rare calligraphy and painting, jewelry, famous inkstones and pens, jade and jade wares, a long list was clearly listed.
My mother was so anxious that she said, "The house-guarding ghost only gave me one month to return all my belongings."
Yes, one month sounds like plenty of time, but it was actually a life-threatening ordeal. During that month, her mother went crazy, looking for people everywhere to get back the things she had given away.
Tang Chuyue was forced by her mother to ask for the ancient zither, including the Risuo Yuesuo, back. This was the direct reason why she had planned to destroy her niece.
In short, she had offended everyone she should have. Her mother paid back all the money she owed, and she was terrified.
Tang Chuyue's tears flowed weakly again, but she didn't know who she was crying for, "So, you poisoned my mother to death?"
"Did your grandfather tell you that?" Shi Anxia shook his head and denied it. "No, of course not. Poisoning your mother would be such an easy task for her. Besides, I don't want to be involved in the karma of killing. There will be retribution for my actions."
Tang Chuyue cried and didn't say anything, continuing to listen to Shi Anxia.
She believed that An Xia would not lie, nor would she bother to lie.
"I just told your mother the truth. I will make her live in fear every day from now on. I also told her, 'We will fight to the death.'"
Tang Chuyue couldn't help but shiver, and forgot to cry.
Winter is really coming.
Bone-chilling! The cold reaches deep into the bones.
Then An Xia's calm voice rang out, "I asked my mother to pretend to be my grandmother and ask your mother for a dowry and her grandson's life. You know, your mother used the bone-crushing powder on my aunt. My aunt's child was already formed when she died. It was a boy."
Tang Chuyue's throat became dry and she could hardly breathe.
"You just listened and you can't stand it?" Shi Anxia asked coldly, "Do you know how my aunt felt at that time?"
Tang Chuyue immediately recalled how her sister-in-law had handed her her mother's dowry list yesterday, and also recalled those generous boxes of gifts.
But the most precious thing is the gentle blessing from the eldest sister-in-law, "I hope you can live a happy and peaceful life after you get married."
Tang Chuyue suddenly squatted on the ground and started crying sadly.
I cried for my sister-in-law and the baby in her belly. I also cried for myself, why I have such a vicious and damnable mother!
Tang Chuyue knew that her sister-in-law wanted to touch her head yesterday, but she stretched out her hand and then retracted it.
She was very disappointed at the time. She had always wanted to get close to her sister-in-law and act like a niece and act like a spoiled brat in front of her.
But her mother killed the eldest sister-in-law's child. In fact, every time the eldest sister-in-law sees her, she will think of the child who was given the bone-crushing powder, right?
How heartbroken the elder sister-in-law must have been! The elder sister-in-law must have felt very sad when she saw her? Tang Chuyue's crying was filled with an inexplicable sadness.
Shi Anxia's eyes also turned red. She turned her head away, with her back to Tang Chuyue, and her voice was still cold and indifferent, "I told your mother that the dead child had a dream in which he said that his whole body was in pain. People who are poisoned by the bone-breaking incense will feel pain in every inch of their bones. Your mother knows that.
So I will let your mother taste the fragrance of broken bones. I will let her stay awake every night and hear the sound of her own bones crackling until she can no longer move.
I don't want your mother to die too quickly, I just want her to suffer the pain of broken bones day and night.
But she was lucky and died soon after.
In fact, I feel quite sorry for her. She shouldn't have died so soon. I haven't completely avenged myself yet."
Tang Chuyue was terrified. She sat down on the ground and continued to cry loudly.
When Shi Anxia turned around again, her eyes were already very calm.
She squatted down and gently lifted up Tang Chuyue's scattered hair. "Aunt, are you satisfied with my explanation? Do you know why I have to explain it to you so clearly?"
She paused, then answered her own question, "Because you are a coward and stupid, and you are no match for me. Even if I asked you to take revenge, you wouldn't know where to start."
Tang Chuyue: “…”
Bad girl! You bad girl! You look down on me!
Shi Anxia said softly, "Because you know how to distinguish right from wrong, you won't listen to your grandfather's words and marry the youngest son of Lord Liang's family, and then become my enemy and trip me up."
Tang Chuyue: “…”
Bad girl! You bad girl! You've said all the good and bad things!
Shi Anxia wiped her tears with a handkerchief and pulled her up from the ground. "Alright, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. The feud with your mother ends here. As for you, whether you are my aunt or my distant cousin's wife in the future, as long as you are well, your life will not be too bad."
Tang Chuyue stood up with a sob. Her feet were numb and she lost her balance. She threw herself on Shi Anxia's shoulders and hugged her tightly. Her tears soaked her clothes. "Xia'er, wuwu, Xia'er... why are you so good to me?"
