Chapter 299 Let Grandma be Reborn
Chapter 299 Let Grandma be Reborn
Shi Yao's empty eyes gradually focused on the focus, and the warmth that once existed in her eyes gradually turned into coldness.
I see.
She pinched her thigh hard, her eyes filled with tears. She raised her red eyes and asked with a sob, "Grandmother, how could it be Xie Jibai? Did you and grandfather mention it to the emperor? How should we explain it to Master Xiao Tang?"
The lady could not answer.
She could have married Jiang Miao, a man of outstanding talent, or Tang Zhan, who had a promising future. But in the end, she was married to Xie Jibai, a dandy young man from a merchant family.
The gap was so huge that even Shi Yao couldn't bear it.
"Yaoyao, Master Xie is a very good man," the lady stretched out her arms and hugged Shi Yao tremblingly, thinking that Xie Jibai was a playboy, so even if he was pretending, he had to pretend to be a good son-in-law for her. "No matter who you marry, grandma won't let anyone bully you. As for Tang Zhan, your grandfather told him about the marriage this morning, and he has accepted it."
Shi Yao smiled suddenly.
Anyone, including Shi family members?
In this family, how many people have never bullied her?
Only her nephews, who were younger than her, of lower generation, less favored and less valued than her, had never bullied her.
She buried her face in the dowager's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Was it my elder sister? Was it she who told the emperor that the Shi and Xie families have a close relationship, and that my seventh brother and the second Miss Xie missed a good match, so she made up nonsense and arranged a marriage between me and Xie Jibai?"
The lady froze.
Shi Yao's words were like a sharp arrow, piercing her heart directly.
The pain was heart-wrenching.
"Yaoyao, the Shi family has severed all ties with her. From yesterday on, your elder sister is no longer a member of the Shi family."
Shi Yao thought to herself, as expected.
She smiled desolately, and her tears soaked the lady's neck. The cold tears chilled the lady's heart and Shi Yao's heart.
"Grandmother, I came to the capital from Jinling, and you always told me that you would help me find a good family. I am unfamiliar with the capital, and I can't even tell the directions when I go out.
In this family, the eldest master and the eldest mistress want to plot my marriage and marry me to a fool;
The second master and the second wife, as well as the third master and the third wife, also plotted my marriage, using me to exchange for family and personal interests;
My eldest sister is so arrogant that she wants to be the only daughter of the Shi family. She has repeatedly used vicious tricks on me and she wishes I would die.
In order to make their older sister happy, my brothers framed me, insulted me, and excluded me. My sisters-in-law also treated me coldly.
My grandmother was the only one who loved me and made decisions for me time and time again. I trusted her with all my heart. No matter who my grandparents told me to marry, even if I didn't know them, I would try my best to get to know them and choose the one I thought was suitable from the ones my grandparents had chosen for me.
It doesn't matter even if it's an arranged marriage. After all, my surname is Shi. My grandparents raised and protected me, and I just repay their kindness.
Marriage is a big matter, and it is decided by parents and matchmaker. In this family, I am a person without parents, and I listen to my grandparents in everything.
I thought I would marry the husband you and grandfather chose for me, but, grandmother, I never expected that the person who would decide my marriage would be my cousin from the next room.
Until today, I realized that I have no parents, nor grandparents... Grandma, if I had known this, I would not have come to the capital. If I had known this, I would not have been reincarnated."
The lady listened to every word without interrupting Shi Yao. Tears fell down her cheeks. Her throat seemed to be blocked by a rough stone. She spoke tremblingly, "Yaoyao, I'm sorry for you."
Shi Yao closed her eyes, tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks, she couldn't stop crying.
It was just fake crying, which made the old man feel so distressed for her.
But only when she got to this point did she realize that she had suffered so much injustice.
After all, the Shi family is not her home.
Whenever she and Shi Mingzhu are put on the same scale, she is always the loser.
No, no matter whoever of the Shi family is placed on the other end of the scale, she will always lose.
At this moment, her legs were weak, her mind was in a mess from crying, and she didn't want to walk, so she fell down softly.
The lady held her tightly and screamed in panic: "Yaoyao! Yaoyao! Someone, come quickly!"
The maids and servants around rushed over, someone brought a spring stool, and everyone worked together to carry Shi Yao back to Guanju Courtyard.
The lady followed him all the way, crying all the way, feeling ashamed and sad all the way.
Not until the doctor came to take the patient's pulse and left a prescription for calming the nerves did the noisy Guanju Hospital gradually quiet down.
Shi Yao woke up only after making up for last night's sleep.
Banxia sat on the kang, her eyes red, sobbing softly, "Girl, let's go back to Jinling!"
Shi Yao sighed and said, "I can't go back. That's the imperial decree. Running away from marriage is disobeying the decree and I will be beheaded."
Banxia cried so hard that her shoulders trembled: "That girl can't marry a playboy like Xie Jibai! How could the emperor be so cruel? He granted the marriage by imperial decree, but how could he marry the girl to such a despicable person!"
"Hush! Don't talk nonsense about the emperor." Shi Yao put her index finger on her lips and pointed at the copper basin beside her. "Soak the handkerchief in cold water. I'll put it on my eyes."
Seeing that she was calm, Banxia wiped her tears and quickly soaked the cold handkerchief.
Shi Yao applied a cold towel to her swollen eyelids and ordered with a faint smile, "Stop crying!"
"Girl, how can you still laugh?" Banxia scolded.
"What should I do if I don't laugh? Will I continue to cry?" Shi Yao rubbed her temples. "Let's call them the Xie family. They have endless money. They are businessmen, and I am an official. Our life will not be bad."
What she was worried about was that the Xie family had a low status and the elders of the Shi family probably would not do anything to her again, but her brothers and Shi Mingzhu might not let her go.
The grudge is too deep to let go, so we can only fight to the death.
Banxia complained with sobs: "How can life be good? No matter what, you are still the daughter of an official. In the past, we were in Jinling. Although we could not be said to be dressed in fine clothes and eat delicious food, or to be rich and noble, the prefect would still give you some concessions when he saw you. Now, look what has happened. You have gone from being an official's daughter to a merchant... You are not wronged, but I am wronged for you..."
Shi Yao quietly plugged her ears with her thumbs, blocking out Banxia's complaints, and said in her mind: [Book of Merits, come out!]
Merit Book: [Merit Value: 996
Respawn Points: 3
Please choose the target of rebirth, it can be yourself or someone else. 】
Shi Yao thought about it and felt that people like the old Duke could not be reborn. They were hard-hearted, murderous, and had deep-rooted family values. If things went wrong, they might really kill her to eliminate all hidden dangers that would hinder the family's progress.
After all, the original owner was a queen in her previous life.
As a precaution...
