Chapter 507 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 34
In this life, Jia Lian met You Erjie through Jia Zhen's introduction, just like in his previous life. Just like in his previous life, he was quickly fascinated by You Erjie and rented a yard to secretly make You Erjie his concubine.
Zhang of Rongguo Mansion was completely unaware of this. She did not have the skills of a trader like Wang Xifeng, so she could not control Jia Lian, nor bribe the people around Jia Lian. She knew nothing about what Jia Lian was doing outside.
Since their marriage, Zhang and Jia Lian have given birth to two daughters. Because she failed to give birth to a son for Jia Lian, Zhang has always felt guilty, so she doesn't care about Jia Lian taking concubines.
However, Zhang's indulgent and cooperative attitude still won Jia Lian's dislike. When they first got married, Jia Lian still valued Zhang because she was his mother's niece. But as time went on, he began to feel that Zhang was too soft and a little boring.
Jia Lian still remembered to give Zhang face because she gave him two daughters and was also his cousin. However, Jia Lian really didn't care about his concubines at all.
He would take her in when he liked her, and forget about her just like Jia She when he got tired of her. Although Jia Lian is infatuated with You Erjie again now, the reason why he did not take her into his house but kept her as a concubine is because Jia Lian knows that You Erjie's background is not clean.
He is just lustful, not stupid. How could he not know about the affairs between You Erjie and Jia Zhen? It is okay to play with her, but it is not okay to take her back.
Unlike his previous life when Jia Lian was controlled by Wang Xifeng and could not play with women as he pleased, when he met You Erjie, who had a completely different personality from Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian was immediately attracted to her.
In this life, You Erjie's personality is somewhat similar to Zhang's. Even though she won Jia Lian's heart with her beauty, she still lacked something.
It was You Sanjie, who was different from You Erjie who was gentle. Her hot-tempered personality made Jia Lian unable to help teasing her every time he saw her, which made You Sanjie start to curse. The more You Sanjie cursed, the more interesting Jia Lian found it.
Because in this life Jia Lian became interested in You Sanjie again, the scene in the previous life where Jia Lian helped You Sanjie find a husband and found Liu Xianglian to act as a matchmaker and arrange the marriage did not happen.
While Jia Lian was entangled with the two sisters You Erjie and You Sanjie, his doppelganger in the palace, Wang Xifeng, was found to be pregnant. Judging from the time, this child was born at about the same time as the one that Wang Xifeng miscarried in her previous life due to overwork while helping to organize Qin Keqing's funeral.
"Could it be that the poor child has come back again?"
Wang Xifeng gently stroked her belly, feeling quite emotional. She couldn't help but regret when she thought about how in her past life she had to fight for those false reputations and face, and ended up killing the baby in her belly.
"My child, your mother will definitely give birth to you safely in this life!"
After living a new life, Wang Xifeng has grown a lot. Even though she still likes to wield power as always, she has read a lot of books and learned a lot of rules in this life. Naturally, she knows that the emperor will not like a concubine who is ambitious and likes to wield power.
In this harem, the emperor is the only master and everyone has to look at the emperor's face. Wang Xifeng was able to be "smooth and versatile" in order to please Lady Jia in her previous life, so naturally she can hide her ambitions in order to please the emperor in this life.
"As long as I can give birth to a prince, I can ascend to the position of Queen Mother. After the emperor dies, what power and status can I not obtain?"
No matter how many times Wang Xifeng is reborn, she is still the same Wang Xifeng. Deep down, she likes to stand in a dominant position and overlook the fate of others.
Just like what she did in her previous life.
It took Wang Xi more than a year to eliminate the kidnapping dens near the capital and rescue the poor kidnapped women. However, because this world is a world where human trafficking is legal, most of the transactions he encountered were voluntary, and Wang Xi was powerless to do anything about this situation.
After the people in the farms outside Beijing had gained their freedom and had the support to continue living, Wang Xi found the owner of the farm, left some silver for her, and left.
"You already have hope to continue living. You will be able to live better without me in the future."
"Are you leaving?" The owner of the manor was reluctant to let them go. Wang Xi was not only a benefactor to them, but also their spiritual belief and the living incarnation of the Virgin Mary.
"There are many other places where people like you are waiting for me to rescue them."
Hearing Wang Xi say this, the owner of the manor was reluctant but he knew he could not stop him. He could only express his best wishes to Wang Xi on behalf of all the people in the manor.
"Don't worry, we will not forget the purpose of the Virgin Mary. After you are gone, we will continue to help the poor women in the world like you did. This will be the home of all the poor women."
Wang Xi left them a lot of books, and under the name of the Virgin Mary, instilled in them a lot of ideas about helping each other and self-reliance among women. Many of the rescued women came from prominent families and knew a lot of things. They learned from each other and soon changed.
"Sometimes awakening only requires an opportunity."
"I want to be the 'first spark' of women's awakening in this world."
While Wang Xi was moving towards his goal, his clone Wang Xifeng in the palace was in crisis.
After the death of the retired emperor, the emperor finally decided to take action against the nobles. In order to paralyze them and avoid alerting the nobles to the fact that something was wrong and causing them to transfer their property, the emperor suddenly ordered the daughters of the three noble families of Zhou, Wu, and Jia to be appointed concubines. Among them, the daughter of the Jia family was naturally Jia Yuanchun.
She was canonized as the virtuous concubine by the emperor and was given the title of Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, which immediately elevated her above Wang Xifeng. This was where Wang Xifeng's crisis came from.
Although the Queen and others knew that Jia Yuanchun's position as a noble concubine was obtained in a strange way, the Emperor had his own arrangements, so the Queen and others had no way of contacting Jia Yuanchun to find out anything. They could only turn their attention to Jia Yuanchun's cousin Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng's pregnancy had already hurt the hearts of the palace concubines, and now they had an additional ally, the imperial concubine. All the concubines felt that if Wang Xifeng gave birth to a prince, the entire harem would become Wang Xifeng's world.
In order to prevent Wang Xifeng from becoming the next Concubine Zhen, everyone started to target Wang Xifeng's belly, and all kinds of harmful methods were used to make Wang Xifeng overwhelmed.
After Jia Yuanchun was named a noble concubine, the Rongguo Mansion outside the palace suddenly fell into a frenzy, and Mrs. Wang was extremely proud and smug.
"What's the use of being beautiful? After being in the palace for so many years and giving birth to a daughter, she still can't compare to my Yuanchun in the end."
"I said that my Yuanchun's birthday on the first day of the Lunar New Year was destined to be a great blessing."
Wang Ziteng was also regretting at this time. If he had known that Jia Yuanchun had such good fortune, he would have asked Wang Xifeng to help Jia Yuanchun no matter what. If she had helped, wouldn't he have the support of two imperial concubines now?
"I didn't expect Yuanchun to have this kind of luck!"
