Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 410 - 32: The General Mansion’s Cast-Off Cannon Fodder Wife

Chapter 410: Chapter 32: The General Mansion’s Cast-Off Cannon Fodder Wife

In the beginning, Madam’s goal was to marry Jiang Yu to the future Crown Prince.

But the position of Crown Prince remains vacant, the future court affairs are ever-changing, and most importantly, Jiang Yu’s leg is crippled. Don’t mention dancing, even walking will be affected in the future.

Now, the best choice for Jiang Yu is to marry Tie Yi.

She worried that Jiang Yu would disagree, seemingly continuing to persuade her, unaware that the other party slowly raised her head and asked a question.

"What about Jiang Lai?"

"When the time comes and you go over, Tie Yi will know what to do. How could he possibly let her stay in the General Mansion?"

Jiang Yu gritted her teeth and said tightly.

"Isn’t this just taking my sister’s place... I can’t bear to do this to Jiang Lai."

Madam frowned.

"How did she treat you today? I feel like skinning her alive to relieve my anger! Yet you still think about having deep sisterly bonds with her!

Yu’er, in the future, no matter whom you are dealing with, you must always keep a few points of calculation, otherwise, sooner or later others will calculate against you.

Moreover, this position of General’s wife was supposed to be yours. It’s already her blessing that Jiang Lai has enjoyed it for this long."

Jiang Yu clenched her fist tightly.

She never expected that after all her planning, the best outcome would be the Tie Yi she initially disregarded.

But now it seems, Tie Yi is indeed quite good, not only in power and status but also in looks and appearance, all are excellent.

The main thing is she can’t bear to see Jiang Lai continue to act arrogantly.

"Mother, how about this, if Tie Yi divorces Jiang Lai, didn’t the Huangfu Family propose before... do you remember the betrothal gifts they agreed to?"

Upon hearing this, Madam suddenly became enlightened.

Yes!

There’s still the Huangfu Family! Although merchants have low status, they have money. When the time comes, after Jiang Lai is divorced, having her stay at the Marquis Mansion would be an eyesore. It’s better to make good use of her and send her to the Huangfu Family to earn a substantial betrothal gift for the Marquis Mansion.

That way, when Yu’er marries, this betrothal gift can be used as a dowry, allowing her to marry with great pomp and flair, causing a sensation throughout the city!

"You’re really sharp-minded, I almost forgot about the Huangfu Family."

"Mother, I’m not saying this for the betrothal gift, but for Jiang Lai’s sake. She is out of favor and cannot assist the Marquis Mansion. We cannot blame her. A woman who is divorced doesn’t have an easy life at her maternal home, so it’s better to help her once more, find her a good path to run, so she doesn’t have to waste her time being the Marquis Mansion’s daughter."

Madam was greatly moved upon hearing this.

"You’re too kind-hearted, otherwise by now you wouldn’t have..."

Jiang Yu looked at the candlelight in front of her and replied softly.

"Who made me the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion."

——

Chun Yue was preparing hot water for Jiang Lai’s bath, a square bath pool was set up behind the bamboo house with a natural spring left behind. The spring water was somewhat cool, so Chun Yue mixed it with boiling water. Jiang Lai lay at the edge of the bath pool, squinting her eyes, enjoying Chun Yue’s massage.

By her ears, Little Buding was repeating the phrase over and over.

"Jiang Lai, congratulations, you’ve been sold again."

The original owner faced this fate, selling one after another, summing up to be sold at a good price.

"Hmm."

"Did you already guess it?"

Jiang Lai remained with her eyes squinted, her expression calm, without any emotional fluctuation.

"Hmm."

Little Buding didn’t want to talk anymore, Jiang Lai was too smart, predicting everything in advance, making her role as the all-seeing and all-hearing feel like pure amusement for her.

"I did predict they would do this, but some details still need you to refine. Without you, what would I do?"

Upon hearing this, Little Buding’s initially gloomy mood brightened instantly, and he hummed quite helplessly.

"Yes, without me you would be waiting to be slaughtered!"

"Yes, indeed, thanks to you."

Little Buding, in high spirits, hummed a tune, full of energy.

Jiang Lai, drowsy, found Chun Yue’s hands suddenly exert more strength, the fingers became rough, increasing the intensity, which was more suited for her. Jiang Lai lazily curled her lips and said.

"Chun Yue, come down and accompany me for a while."

The hand on her shoulder paused for a moment, and soon there were sounds of water behind her, a hot temperature embraced her directly, holding Jiang Lai in the arms, a low, mellow voice came from close behind her ear, intimate and gentle.

"Is it alright if I accompany you?"

Jiang Lai did not turn her head, naturally leaned her body into his arms, her whole body softening.

Little Buding quietly closed the scene and turned on the sound barrier, leaning against a lonely chair looking up at the sky.

You damn heavens, when will love descend upon me?

By the end, the water in the pool had cooled down, but Jiang Lai couldn’t feel it, she was like being roasted surrounded by a large stove, from start to finish, sweat mixed with tears left her thoroughly exhausted.

Tie Yi had tried very hard to hold back, always paying attention to Jiang Lai’s feelings, occasionally losing control yet he was quite aware and let her grab and bite.

Water splashed all over outside the pool, Tie Yi wrapped Jiang Lai in his own clothes before carrying her into the room, patiently helping her dry her wet long hair.

The candlelight burned all night, and Tie Yi just watched Jiang Lai all night.

The next morning, a guard reported from outside the courtyard.

"General, Marquis Jiang invites you to the side courtyard for a talk."

Tie Yi directly refused.

"Go back and say this general is busy."

Jiang Lai had not yet woken up, and it’s good to accompany her now while work is not busy.

By noon, there was movement outside again, and Tie Yi opened the door to see Madam and Madam Zhao standing in the courtyard.

"Iron General, I have something to say to Jiang Lai, could you notify her?"

Tie Yi helped the bowing Madam up.

"She is unwell and resting, she was shocked after falling from the horse during the hunt yesterday and is not in a condition to receive guests, please return."

Madam Zhao couldn’t help but speak.

"I saw her lively yesterday, how come she’s unwell this morning? We’re her family, can’t we even see her?"

Tie Yi maintained a serious expression, standing at the door, looking down at the two.

"Whatever you have to say, wait until she wakes up."

Madam held back.

"Iron General, I know you’re still blaming our Marquis Family regarding the marriage. The Marquis and I deeply regret and feel guilty, feeling we’ve wronged the General. We’ve finally thought of a way to make amends, which Iron General will surely be satisfied with."

Tie Yi frowned, feeling impatient.

"Madam, speak straightforwardly, no need to beat around the bush."

"I know the General has always been dissatisfied with Jiang Lai, whom our Marquis Mansion married out. Now we intend to reconcile. Also, after understanding your deeds, Yu’er has high respect for you. She was saying yesterday how accompanying you would be her blessing if given a chance.

General, you and Yu’er are mutually affectionate, and the Marquis also admires the young and accomplished General. If you’re willing, let’s have a chat at the side courtyard."

Tie Yi’s brow furrowed tighter, almost not understanding what these two meant.

What do you mean mutually affectionate?

With Jiang Yu?
