Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 415 - 37: The General Mansion’s Cast-Off Cannon Fodder Wife

Chapter 415: Chapter 37: The General Mansion’s Cast-Off Cannon Fodder Wife

It was proven, sentence by sentence, that the Jiang Yu before her was indeed not her biological daughter, but a concubine’s child!

"You... you, how could you..."

Jiang Yu’s eyes were red, she had never imagined that one day she would truly be exposed. It wasn’t panic or anxiety; it was relief, and she let out a heavy breath.

Yes, she wasn’t the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion, wasn’t Madam’s daughter. It was Madam’s child that the Ministry of Justice wanted to kill, what did it have to do with her?

Her life was preserved.

At the cost of her status falling from the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion to an illegitimate one.

But so what, at least she didn’t have to die, now it would be Jiang Lai’s turn.

Just thinking that Jiang Lai would be beheaded made her feel that all the suffering she endured now was worth it.

Madam clutched her chest, nearly suffocating. She trembled as she pointed at Jiang Yu, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"You, you are actually born of concubine Zhao... My daughter, my daughter is Jiang Lai..."

How Jiang Yu wanted to laugh out loud now.

Yes, it should be Jiang Lai’s end.

The crime of colluding with enemies could not be washed away, how could Tie Yi jeopardize his own future for Jiang Lai? By then, she’d watch Jiang Lai’s head roll, the mere thought of it lightening her mood.

"Mother, I know nothing."

"You... you don’t know, concubine Zhao, concubine Zhao!! Your methods are impressive, letting me raise your child in vain all these years, no wonder, no wonder..."

No wonder concubine Zhao was so concerned about Jiang Yu, no wonder she could always send Jiang Lai out without hesitation to take the fall. So that’s why, she harmed her own biological daughter all along!

And herself, treating Zhao’s daughter like a treasure, nurturing her pamperedly into the most talented woman of the Capital City!

Madam cried in despair, when she saw Madam Zhao for a moment, her eyes shot out hatred as if she wanted to devour her.

"You made me part from my flesh and blood, made me personally push out my daughter, concubine Zhao, I curse you to a bad death!! If I survive this, I will certainly kill you!!"

Madam Zhao laughed coldly.

The words of a dying person, she naturally wouldn’t take to heart. Now she just wanted Jiang Yu to live well.

"Let’s see if it’s me who dies, or you and your daughter reunite down below!"

She turned to look at the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

"Sir, that’s how things are, Jiang Yu is my child and has nothing to do with her, should she be released now?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice nodded.

"Yes, you can release her."

Madam Zhao thanked him profusely and nearly kowtowed to him, as Jiang Yu was released, she didn’t forget to remind him.

"Her biological daughter Jiang Lai is the wife of today’s General of the Country, sir, your wisdom and intelligence won’t let you show lenience just because of your relationship with the General, right?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice glanced at her, then mysterious smile crept across his face.

"Naturally, but you are already the wife of a criminal official, henceforth you are no longer part of the Imperial Family, you and your daughter are now demoted to commoners, understood?"

Commoners...

Jiang Yu’s body stiffened, at this moment she wished she could just die here.

Becoming a commoner, she would no longer be the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, just an ordinary commoner.

How did things come to this, where did it all go wrong?

Madam Zhao took Jiang Yu by the hand and left.

From beginning to end, Jiang Yu didn’t turn back, that cold figure completely froze Madam’s heart.

After all, she had raised her herself, never thought that she raised an ingrate who, at the critical moment, abandoned years of nurturance without hesitation, desperate to flee for her life.

At this moment, she saw no hope in living, had no face to see Jiang Lai, determined to crash into a stone wall, simultaneously, an announcement suddenly came from outside.

"Report! Sir, it has been verified, those letters of conspiracy were all forged."

"Can you confirm?"

"Confirmed, they were all recently altered old writings."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice frowned silently, glanced back at the people in the Heavenly Prison, and ordered.

"Release them for now, seal off the Marquis Mansion and await the Emperor’s decision."

——

"Congratulations! The task is completed!"

Little Buding’s voice was excited, looking at the points surging crazily before him, he felt a surge of motivation.

Ten tasks, totaling ten thousand points, finally enough for his retirement!

Jiang Lai lay idly on the chair, hearing Little Buding’s unusual sound, she subconsciously smiled.

"You said back then, ten tasks completed means it’s over."

"Mm! I’ll report to the top right away, don’t worry, our agency keeps its word and won’t cheat you!"

Jiang Lai nodded, turned over and continued basking in the sun.

Ancient times were too boring, no entertainment activities, if it weren’t for Tie Yi being obedient and pleasing to her, Jiang Lai really wouldn’t want to stay here for another moment.

"Do you want to end the task early then?"

"Forget it, now that I’m here, might as well live a good life."

There are still many things to deal with after going back, better enjoy while it lasts.

"Alright, you enjoy, I’ll go offline for a while to process the paperwork, when you had enough, just call out a few times and I’ll hear you."

Finished saying this, Little Buding went offline.

Jiang Lai could feel a kind of connection in her heart suddenly sever, very curious, as if she’d gotten used to coexisting with this thing, now suddenly losing contact, she felt a bit hollow inside. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The Ministry of Justice released people the same day.

The controversy over the Marquis’s exclusion of dissenters was a done deal, the Marquis Mansion was sealed, but the marquis title preserved, the family was sent to a distant Gucheng from the Capital City to continue officiating, though it was a powerless, idle position, it was the Emperor’s greatest mercy.

With the title preserved, the lands were saved, and though powerless, clothing and food were not a problem.

Before leaving, Madam stood outside the General Mansion for a long time, until Tie Yi returned and saw her standing in the corner all along.

"Don’t tell Jiang Lai, I just... just wanted to stand here and have a look."

The Marquis’s affairs had become known throughout the Capital City, Jiang Yu and Jiang Lai were deliberately swapped at birth, resulting in illegitimacy mistaken for legitimacy, the true legitimate daughter being neglected and married off to the General Mansion, while the concubine-born illegitimate daughter enjoyed over a decade of luxury.

Tie Yi had also heard, but since Jiang Lai had no reaction, he didn’t ask much. After all, he cared little about legitimacy, he only wanted Jiang Lai.

"Please hand this over to her, I know Jiang Lai harbors resentment in her heart, I don’t have the face to see her now, as long as she lives well, I will be content."

As she spoke, Madam took out a bracelet from her bosom and handed it to Tie Yi.

"Please, Iron General, treat her well."

"No need to say more, it’s getting late, madam should set off early."
