A Genius in a Second to Remember Love? The Internet provides you with wonderful novels to read.
If she had died in battle, she would have had peace. But who would have thought that she would have a second life?
Jiang Pengji had no sense of belonging to this world. Her life was forced upon her by the System without her consent.
But since she was alive, she would not seek death.
The federal soldiers could die however they wanted, but they could not commit suicide or lose their will to live.
That was the behavior of a coward.
So she chose to live well. She treated it as a retreat from the battlefield and a leisurely vacation.
Which one of the vacations did not pursue a happy mood?
If they did not like it, they would either completely destroy it or change it into something they liked. Why force themselves to get used to it?
"The world should change for me, not the other way around. Don't you think so, System?" Jiang Pengji asked with a smile.
The System was silent for a while, then complained, "Isn't it enough for you to go to heaven? Do you want to pierce the sky?"
If you have the ability to show off, come down here if you have the ability!
"The sky is not paper. How can it be pierced?"
Jiang Pengji pretended not to know and refuted the System.
She liked to see the System stomp its feet and complain. It was so cute that it could not do anything about her behavior.
The System endured the pain and said, "That's enough. If I talk to you again, I will have a heart attack and go back to the furnace to be reborn."
Jiang Pengji had a faint smile on her lips. She looked at the waterside pavilion in the courtyard. No one knew what she was thinking.
Night fell. The hustle and bustle of the day subsided. The quiet night shrouded the land.
The second lady rested in peace for a few days. She looked a little better.
However, she had been sick for many years. Even with the continuous supply of good medicine, she did not know when she would be able to recover the vitality she had lost.
She gritted her teeth and saw her "son" in name. The second lady's mood fluctuated greatly. Her eyes were full of malice.
Her mood fluctuated too much. When she returned to her bedroom, she naturally became even more ill. The maid hurriedly called for a doctor.
"You still don't like to drink medicine. Eat some candied plums."
Liu She entered the room and saw her covering her mouth in disgust. He could not help but be speechless. He took the box of candied plums from the maid.
The Second Madam took it and said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law knows me best. He knows that I don't like to drink those bitter medicines."
"It doesn't matter how much you know. You still have to drink. Otherwise, how can you take care of your body?" Liu She smiled. "Don't eat too much. You'll get sore teeth."
"Brother-in-law has always been someone who doesn't come to the temple for no reason. Since you suddenly came to my place today, you must have something to tell me." The Second lady didn't listen to his advice. Instead, she stuffed the candied plums into her mouth one after another. Only then did she suppress the bitter taste in her mouth. "Just say it."
Liu She couldn't help but sigh.
Although they were husband and wife in name, they did not have a physical relationship. Rather than husband and wife, they were more like brother and sister. Every time he saw the Second Madam, he would suddenly think that she was still the naive and clingy girl who liked to pester Ah Min.
However, it was different now.
Liu She, who had always been calm and steady, couldn't help but feel his hands itch when he thought of the culprit who had caused her to become like this.
"The Meng family is in trouble. Meng Zhan's County Governor's Office was burned and Meng County is filled with rioters. The Meng family's army is afraid that the news will be leaked. Instead of appeasing the people, they tried to suppress them with blood. This is making the people even more angry. If you want to step on them, this is the perfect opportunity."
The Second Madam was stunned when she heard the news. Then, she burst into laughter. Tears of laughter rolled down her cheeks.
"I was wondering. I thought the family couldn't bear to see me living a good life and purposely came to humiliate me. I didn't expect it to be like this. " The Second Madam laughed so hard that tears were rolling down her cheeks. Liu She's heart ached when he saw her. All sorts of feelings welled up in his heart. He didn't feel good at all.
"Brother-in-law, didn't you say that you'd rather tear down a temple than ruin a marriage?"
Liu She shook his head. "You hold a grudge. When did you say that? Before Ah Min left, the person she let down the most was you. I also owed you a lot. You are my wife's sister and my wife in name. If I don't protect you, am I supposed to protect Meng Zhan? "
He married her, but he couldn't fulfill his obligations. He made her live like a widow. That was his fault.
Liu She would always remember his mistakes.
The Second Madam lowered her head with a smile. "Brother-in-law, you make me feel ashamed. If you hadn't taken me in, I wouldn't have become the Madam of the Liu family. If we're talking about owing something, it's naturally me who owes you and brother-in-law. After all, this position belongs to my sister. "
Even if Liu She hadn't taken her in, no one would have dared to say anything. Liu She didn't owe her anything.
Marrying her had caused Liu She a lot of trouble for no reason.
His wife had died and he had married his wife's sister. She had been divorced and her reputation had been ruined. People who didn't know the truth wouldn't think too much.
The Meng family had slandered her and accused her of having an affair with Liu She. She didn't even dare to think about those days.
Liu She smiled bitterly. Was he really not responsible?
Meng Zhan was his classmate and good friend. He was also a descendant of a loyal family. His ancestor was famous. He was the Xia Dynasty's God of War, Meng Jing. Compared to the other candidates, Liu She naturally favored his classmate more. He was confident that he understood Meng Zhan and felt that he would be a good man.
However, the result was a slap in the face.
If he hadn't been blind to pick on Ah Min's brother-in-law, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
The Second Madam seemed to understand Liu She's thoughts. She sighed and said, "If not for Sister's pity, I would have been tortured to death by those servants long ago. Although I have a biological father, it is better than not having one. My deceased mother's status is low. Who in the Gu Residence cares about me? Only Sister is kind and benevolent. "
Gu Min was only a few years older than her, but she always felt like her sister had raised her.
"If not for Sister saving me from the well back then, would there be the Gu Zhen of today?"
The First Madam did not care about Gu Zhen's marriage. It was her married sister who helped her pick a good husband in private. She screened those talented and virtuous men carefully. They were all good husband candidates. However, Gu Zhen was blind and chose the worst one.
If she had not been stubborn and rebellious back then and had married the man her sister had painstakingly picked, her life now would be so comfortable that those noble ladies would die of envy.
However, her life now was pretty good. The Second Madam looked down and curled her lips up slightly.
She would be content with what she had. She would take good care of her sister's only child in this world. She would enjoy the blessings that her sister could not.
Now, she could recuperate in peace. The real good days were yet to come.
As for Meng Zhan?
It was as her sister said. Take revenge if you have a grudge, and take revenge if you have a grudge. Humans only live for a few decades. If you can be stubborn, why let yourself be sullen?
Every dog has its day. There will be a day when Meng Zhan will kneel at my feet like a stray dog, as lowly as an ant.
