This Life, I'm Raising the Right Man

Su Yaoguang pondered.

A rekindling of old feelings?

When they broke up back then, it was quite unpleasant. Most importantly, Jiang Yihuan was caught in the act of infidelity by him. Any man with a bit of pride would never be entangled with such a woman in his lifetime. But, this Xiao Ci is not an ordinary man.

Today’s banquet did not invite the Wang Family, and naturally, Xiao Ci was not invited either.

This good play of old lovers reuniting can only be enacted another day, though today they had the spirit to interpret it. Unfortunately, the venue was not appropriate.

At this moment, inside the carriage, ’Mrs. Fang’, also known as Jiang Yihuan, was fiercely tugging at her handkerchief, her face as dark as overcast clouds.

The maid beside her dared not breathe.

This Second Madam is not like the First Madam. The First Madam appears stern but is kind at heart, hardly making things difficult for the servants. Even when a servant makes a mistake, her handling will still convince and win them over.

This Second Madam Fang is different. In front of the Marquis, she is gentle and tender, but once he is not present, her expression changes immediately.

Now, who knows what nerve she has struck wrong, her expression is sinisterly ugly, her gaze even more so as if she wanted to devour a person whole.

”Is the National Guardian General more powerful, or is our Marquis?”

The maid quickly said, ”Our Marquis’s title is hereditary, and it will be passed on to the young master. No matter how capable the National Guardian General is, he earned his position through his own efforts. The National Guardian General has no son. When he is no longer favored by the Emperor, the position of Great General will eventually belong to someone else. By then, the wife and daughter of the General Mansion will just be commoners, a far cry from our Marquis Mansion.”

Jiang Yihuan’s expression improved somewhat.

”Right, my Marquis’s title is hereditary, and in the future, I will be the mother of the Marquis,” Jiang Yihuan looked at the child in the cradle, her eyes full of ambition.

Before attending this banquet, she didn’t know that the wife and daughter of the National Guardian General were this mother and daughter pair. She saw Su Yaoguang first, so she could respond to her calmly.

She denied being Jiang Yihuan. With Su Yaoguang’s intellect, she probably couldn’t figure it out.

Jiang Yihuan died that day when she witnessed Xiao Yanci killing her own mother.

Xiao Yanci...

Just thinking of this man’s name made Jiang Yihuan tremble all over.

Previously Su Yaoguang said Jiang Yihui’s death was related to Xiao Yanci, back then she accused Su Yaoguang of deliberately sowing discord between them, until her mother disappeared, and she had accidentally witnessed her ’disappearance’. She dared not show up again, so she quietly left that county town.

But she, Jiang Yihuan, always had good luck.

After leaving the county town, she ran out of money and decided to beg on the streets. It was then she encountered Marquis Jing’an, Li Su.

Li Su was poisoned and needed someone to detoxify him, and she turned out to be the antidote.

This scenario was very similar to those romantic storybooks where a man and a woman meet due to some improper aphrodisiac, which entangles their bodies and leads to emotional entanglements.

The difference was that the male protagonist in her story was too old and too ugly. She had to close her eyes and endure the nausea to please him.

Sure enough, her effort was not in vain. She truly became pregnant along the way and successfully secured a place at his side.

He took her back to the Marquis Mansion. Initially, she was just a concubine, but after giving birth to the mansion’s only son and repeatedly whispering sweet words, she succeeded in becoming a second wife and ensured her son had inheritance rights.

”Second Madam, I heard the First Madam’s health has improved, and she is about to take over managing affairs soon,” said the maid beside her, ”The eldest lady who has been married off found her a doctor from somewhere, and that doctor’s medical skills are very impressive.”

”What’s that doctor’s surname and name?” She wanted to find out and then maybe bribe them with some silver. When that First Madam dies from illness, wouldn’t it be up to her?

”Seems like the surname is Jiang, and located at a shop selling cosmetics, called... Taohua Yao,” the maid said, ”Yes, that Doctor Jiang is the healer at Taohua Yao.”

Jiang Yihuan’s face turned ugly: ”Why is it them again? Are they holding a grudge against me? Why do I encounter them no matter where I go?”

”Madam, do you know this doctor? Do we still need to find her?” the maid asked.

”You don’t need to find her. There’s no use looking for her.” Jiang Yihuan, upon hearing that the doctor was Jiang Jing, knew her previous plan couldn’t be carried out.

Jiang Jing is skilled in medicine. She had to prevent her from treating that First Madam, otherwise her position as Second Madam truly wouldn’t be secure.
