Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1216: Chapter 1185

She found that they not only seized her property but also ordered her around as if she were a maid.

Without food or drink, frequently beaten and scolded, facing such a pack of ”Evil Wolves,” she had to escape... Last midnight, she finally found a chance to escape from the den and reach this place for temporary refuge.

Chunxia intended to flee the slum directly, but she was too hungry and cold, lacking strength. Moreover, not long after she escaped, she heard voices searching for her behind.

”Haven’t found her yet?”

The speaker was a frail, haggard old man with a head full of white hair.

”No,”

replied a middle-aged man.

Upon hearing this, the old man who first spoke frowned deeply: ”Where can a woman like her run to? Keep searching!”

”What’s the point of finding her?”

The elderly woman sitting nearby glared at the old man: ”Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting!”

”You old hag, you must speak with proof; don’t slander me in front of the descendants!”

The old man was Jiang Hongfa’s half-brother, known as Second Master Jiang. Initially, it was his eldest son, Jiang Bowen, who responded to Second Master Jiang.

The old woman was undoubtedly Second Master Jiang’s long-time wife.

Having lived a pampered life for most of her days, Wang Xinlan never imagined she would one day live in the slum. But the reality was, she had been living here for quite some time.

If not for the fear of death, she didn’t know how many times she might have already ended her suffering. Yet, despite life being so harsh, Second Master Jiang still wasted his time gambling.

There aren’t any luxury casinos in the slum, but there’s no shortage of places to gamble.

From the beginning, to avoid being tempted, Second Master Jiang sold two of his concubines who were over fifty to wealthy people as maids. Next, he set his sights on his eldest son Jiang Bowen’s three daughters. However, Jiang Bowen’s wife was a tough woman who directly picked up a kitchen knife to protect them, ensuring that the three daughters were not sold.

To prevent Second Master Jiang from having any further wicked intentions, Jiang Bowen’s wife ran away with the three daughters, leaving the husband (father) alone by Second Master Jiang and his wife’s side.

Nonetheless, whether it was Jiang Bowen’s wife or two of the older daughters, they became lovers to wealthy old men, undeniably aiming to live a better life.

Jiang Hongfa was well aware of these matters, but he did not intervene.

Everyone walks their own path. He had driven the second household out of the manor, but the second household met their current fate through their own doing.

Repeatedly attempting to take Boya’s life, not to mention Jiang Hongfa couldn’t tolerate it; any father would likely find it hard to endure Second Master Jiang’s family’s schemes.

Therefore, no matter what Second Master Jiang’s family intended or what they wanted to say while in the slum, Jiang Hongfa wouldn’t pay attention.

After Jiang Bowen’s wife left with the three daughters, Jiang Bowen seemed to lose his spiritual support, completely collapsing, waiting at home alongside Second Master Jiang for their aging mother and younger brother Jiang Boxuan to provide for them.

Wang Xinlan felt frustrated, but to survive, she had no option but to find work to earn a living, especially as she had two grandsons from her second son to care for.

Speaking of this second son, he was the mastermind of the initial scheme against Boya, named Jiang Boxun. After he was arrested, his wife forcefully divorced him, leaving the two sons behind and walking away without a care.

At that time, the second household had some assets; in other words, Jiang Boxun’s wife managed to obtain some money from the second household when she divorced.
