Buddha-like Mrs. Lin
Chapter 23
At the same time, Jia Zhi received a letter sent by Jia Su.
Jia Zhi opened the letter and immediately frowned: "Eldest sister had a miscarriage?"
There were only three or four lines in the letter and there was no extra polite words. It only stated all the information that Jia Su knew. Jia Gu had a miscarriage and it was very likely that it was caused by her husband's cousin. Now, she had nothing left to live for.
Jia Zhi narrowed her eyes and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of her heart: "Because of a man, she actually doesn't want to live anymore?
She simply doesn't know what she's talking about! "
Because it was troublesome to go out and there weren't many trustworthy people in her husband's residence. During this period of time, they were all invested in the shop that she and Jia Su were preparing to open. She hadn't sent anyone to contact her eldest sister, Jia Gu, for a long time. Her husband, whose mind was filled with thoughts of his first wife and legitimate son, couldn't possibly pay attention to her maternal sisters. Thus, she still didn't know about Jia Gu's miscarriage.
If Jia Su hadn't sent someone to inform her, she was afraid that she wouldn't have known about it until something happened to Jia Gu or after she walked out.
Thinking of Jia Gu's expression of having nothing left to live for, Jia Zhi felt irritated: "Liu Xu, prepare the horse."
Soon, Jia Zhi arrived at Xiuguogongfu.
Because Marquis Jinyang's residence still had some status in the imperial court, Xiuguogongfu's people didn't dare to make things difficult for her. They directly led her to Jia Gu's room.
"Eldest sister-in-law personally came to tell me that mother had already sent someone to visit eldest sister."
Jia Zhi's mind kept replaying Jia Su's words and she sneered again and again.
When she arrived, Chunsheng went out to welcome her. After entering the room, she found that Jia Gu didn't have any other servant girls by her side.
It seemed that Madam Jia Gu's visit was really just a visit. She definitely didn't have the intention to vent her anger for Jia Gu, and it was even more impossible for her to warn Jia Gu's husband on behalf of her maiden family.
The attitude of Jia Gu's family often determined the kind of life a married woman could lead in her husband's family. Now Jia Shi had clearly expressed the attitude of Rongguo Province. No wonder Jia Gu's husband's family acted so carelessly.
It could be imagined that after this incident, Jia Gu's situation in Xiuguogongfu would only get worse and worse.
Thinking of something, Jia Zhi laughed at himself and said, "Maybe Big Sister's today will be my tomorrow."
Chunsheng, who was guarding by Jia Gu's bedside, moved her lips for a moment, but in the end, she did not dare to say anything.
Jia Gu on the bed still had no reaction.
Jia Zhi glanced at her and turned to ask Chunsheng, "Has Big Sister eaten during this period of time?"
Calculating the time, Jia Gu's miscarriage was only seven or eight days ago. If she had a good rest, how could her cheeks be sunken like now? The pair of hands on the quilt were as thin as firewood. They didn't look like the hands of a woman in her early twenties at all.
Sure enough, Chunsheng shook her head and said, "Eldest Miss hasn't eaten for many days. She only drank some sugar water."
Even the sugar water was forced by her to drink Jia Gu.
Jia Zhi waved his hand and asked Chunsheng and the others to leave. Then he said faintly, "Big Sister, why do you have to do this?
Women are not born just to give birth to children. "
Probably angered by Jia Zhi's casual tone, Jia Gu turned her face and looked at Jia Zhi with eyes full of sadness.
Her eyes were red, as if saying, "What do you know?"
Jia Zhi smiled. It was good that she had a reaction.
Jia Zhi's feelings for Jia Gu had always been very complicated. Jia Gu was soft-hearted. Because they grew up together and both of them lost their mother when they were very young, she directly treated her as her responsibility and was especially good to her.
However, Jia Zhi's personality was cold and tenacious. Most of the time, he couldn't stand Jia Gu's indecisive and cowardly personality.
For example, the families of the two of them married into were the same in all aspects.
The only thing she was better than Big Sister was that the person Marquis Jinyang really liked was already dead. Therefore, she still had some say in the family. She didn't have to bribe the kitchen with money just to eat the food she liked at home.
However, the relationship between the four princes and eight dukes was good. Even if the relationship faded after several generations, there was still some face. Moreover, the Jia Daishan was now very powerful. No matter how much Jia Gu's husband favored his concubine and neglected his wife, he wouldn't dare to do anything to her at the risk of offending Rongguo Province, right?
However, she couldn't stand up for herself. When she was bullied, she didn't tell anyone and just endured it. In the end, she was bullied badly by the people of Xiuguogongfu.
At first, Jia Zhi wanted to help. However, Jia Gu acted as if it was for her own good and advised her not to meddle in Jia Gu's family affairs.
After a few times, Jia Zhi could only let her be.
But now, seeing that Jia Gu had lost the will to live, she couldn't continue to let her be.
Jia Zhi glanced at Jia Su and faintly said, "The night I married Marquis Jinyang, I was told that I couldn't have children of my own in the future."
But what was wrong with that?
Because their relationship had been very good before they got married. On the day her eldest sister returned home, she told her what kind of character her husband was. On the day of their wedding, he was called away by his cousin to stay overnight. Haha …
How could she still have expectations for her husband?
Jia Gu had never heard Jia Zhi mention her life in her husband's family. She thought that although Jia Zhi's life wasn't good, it was definitely better than hers.
At this time, when she suddenly heard the completely opposite of what she expected, her whole body was stunned.
"Therefore, I treated Marquis Jinyang's only child as my own and thought for him in every way. After a year, my relationship with that child has become closer. Even Marquis Jinyang is treating me better."
"But I didn't expect that not long after, I would unexpectedly become pregnant."
Jia Gu's eyes widened. "Pregnant?"
Jia Zhi had been married to Marquis Jinyang's second wife for more than three years, but Jia Gu had never heard that she was pregnant, let alone that she had a child.
"If I didn't have this child, my life would be like this. It's no big deal."
Jia Zhi smiled calmly. "But since I was pregnant, I thought that since it was Marquis Jinyang's child, he couldn't possibly ask me to abort it, right?"
"Maybe it was because my previous attitude towards that child made Marquis Jinyang very satisfied. Later, when I found out that I was pregnant, I made a prompt decision to promise the old Marquis Jinyang's wife that I wouldn't take away anything that belonged to that child. So under the old Marquis Jinyang's persuasion, Marquis Jinyang unexpectedly agreed to let me give birth to the child."
"Then why …"
"I calculated everything, but I never thought that an accident would happen to that child."
After all, in the entire Marquis' Mansion, she had a good relationship with that child.
However …
"When I wasn't paying attention, he knocked me to the ground when the child was six months old."
Jia Gu clenched her fists. That child …
No wonder the relationship between Jia Zhi and that child was so strange that day.
"Maybe it was because I was in good health and the child in my belly was well taken care of. Although the fetus was affected, it was barely saved."
"Then why …"
"I don't know what rumors that child heard. He thought that I would abuse him after giving birth and steal his things for my child, so he found Marquis Jinyang and said that he didn't want a younger brother or sister.
“
Jia Gu suddenly sat up. Because she hadn't eaten for a long time, she was weak and panting. "What, what did Marquis Jinyang say …"
Jia Zhi smiled with a gloomy face. "Of course he wanted me to abort the child."
Jia Gu's gaze fell on Jia Zhi's belly. Her expression was blank. She never thought that in a place that she didn't notice, her younger sister had already suffered a more miserable experience than her.
She wasn't allowed to have children and was ordered to abort the child by the child's father after she got pregnant. How desperate must it be for her second sister?
She also had a miscarriage, but the person who caused her miscarriage was not the child's father. And after she had a miscarriage, no matter what happened behind the scenes, at least on the surface, her husband grounded the culprit for three months.
She wanted to comfort Jia Zhi. She moved her lips, but found that she couldn't say a word.
Because her second sister was very clear that she didn't need others to comfort her.
On the contrary, her behavior after the miscarriage seemed to be more in need of comfort than her second sister.
Jia Zhi looked at her coldly. "Is it fun to punish yourself with other people's mistakes?"
"But …" Even if she cheered up, wouldn't it be the same in the future? Could she only be reincarnated in a similar situation?
Jia Zhi sighed. "That's why I agreed when Third Sister invited us to do business."
She just didn't think of it before. But after Third Sister's reminder, she realized that the best way to get out of the current predicament was to jump out of it, instead of being trapped in it and breaking it from the inside.
