"He's coughing up blood again. I wonder if the guy in the house can survive this winter?"

"I don't think I can make it. It's better to go early so that we can return to the Marquis' Mansion and report to the mistress."

"The mistress is kindhearted and can treat this bitch who stole the title well. I just hope she dies soon and doesn't live until the end of the year. It's unlucky."

"that is……"

The voice of the nanny in the farm outside the house kept coming.

Bao Cui's eyes turned red when she heard these words, and she looked like she wanted to fight to the death, "This group of dirty and wicked people are actually making up stories about my lady. My lady is not even dead yet, how can it be the turn of that concubine to be the mistress!"

Yu Caiwei coughed several times palely, and blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth again.

Baocui burst into tears when she saw this. "Why are you vomiting blood again? Madam, just hold on for a while. Xiaozhao is going to call the doctor. This disease can definitely be cured."

Yu Caiwei smiled.

No one knows her illness better than her.

There is no better cure.

That year she had a miscarriage. In order to save Yu Caijiao's son, she jumped into the pond in the freezing cold, losing half her life and suffering from a chronic illness from then on.

Who could have imagined that Yu Caijiao's child was actually the one born out of an affair between her and her husband.

The miscarriage of her unborn child was also caused by Yu Caijiao.

With such a vicious heart, he has now become a living Bodhisattva in the eyes of others.

But her husband still treats Yu Caijiao as his own.

Yu Caiwei's eyes became moist twice.

Her life has become a joke.

"Baocui, I don't have much time left to live. You are the only person I can trust now. There is an old file in my dressing box. Take it to see the Marquis and tell him that I need him to come over for something. Ahem..."

Bao Cui shed tears, "I know, I will definitely deliver this file to the Marquis."

Yu Caiwei smiled.

The hanging tears finally fell.

"Don't cry."

Bao Cui's heart was broken, and she cried even harder. Why did such a good lady bear such a bad name and stay in this filthy place, living a life worse than death? Obviously, the lady was a very kind person, but she praised that concubine's daughter as the best person. Why?

Why!

Baocui rushed back to the mansion with the token in her hand.

Yu Caiwei looked at the empty room and heard thunder.

It is going to rain.

As the sun was setting and it was getting dark, Yu Caiwei failed to wait for Marquis Zhenyuan, but instead waited for Yu Caijiao.

Yu Caijiao, wearing luxurious brocade clothes and holding a handkerchief, walked in. Seeing that the person on the sickbed was extremely thin, she hurried forward and said, "Sister, you have suffered in Zhuangzi."

Yu Caiwei's eyelids moved, and her voice was hoarse, "Why is it you?"

Yu Caijiao had a sad face and took her hand. "Sister, please accept my condolences. Your maid met robbers on the road and was killed. The soldiers saw the token on her body and realized that she was from the Marquis' Mansion. That's why they came to inform me to claim the body. What a pitiful person! Those hateful bandits ruined that innocent girl..."

"boom--"

As thunder roared outside, Yu Caiwei's mind seemed to explode. She looked at Yu Caijiao with red eyes, "Did you do this?"

Yu Caijiao was shocked, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course they are thieves and bandits!"

Yu Caiwei's mouth was clogged with blood. "We both know who we are. Stop pretending."

After saying this, the shocked woman put away her expression and a hint of ridicule flashed across her face, "Honglian, all of you go out and guard the manor. I have something to say to my elder sister."

Honglian responded and drove all the people away.

Yu Caiwei and Yu Caijiao were the only ones left in the dilapidated house.

"We have been fighting for a lifetime. Now that you have won, why don't you let me go?" Yu Caiwei coughed violently.

Yu Caijiao turned her eyes and looked at her, "I should be the one asking this question to my elder sister. Why do you still bother the Marquis with those trivial matters? If you have anything to say, it's the same if you just talk to your younger sister directly..."

Yu Caiwei's pale lips moved twice, "My brother was imprisoned, and my sister was sent to Dongchang Prefecture to be a concubine. It was all your fault, right?"

Yu Caijiao smiled slightly, "Not bad."

Her eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and her breathing became more rapid. "Why on earth is this happening? I treated you well, Caijiao. That year you said you couldn't stay in the Yu Mansion anymore, and the people from the third house bullied you because you were a concubine. I took pity on you and took you to the Marquis' Mansion, but you climbed onto my husband's bed and took my position as mistress, causing me to have a miscarriage and no children. I have already handed over this Marquis' Mansion to you, just to give you a safe life, why... why are you still forcing me like this?"

"All of this should have belonged to me!" Yu Caijiao's voice was overbearing, her eyes glaring fiercely, "I was the first one to meet the Marquis! If it weren't for me, how would you have had the chance to save the Marquis! - You've treated me well? It's just a small gift of the title of legitimate daughter, and you want me to be grateful to you?"

Yu Caiwei felt so heartbroken after hearing those words.

She and Yu Caijiao grew up together.

Although she was the legitimate daughter, her mother died early and she had a hard life in the Yu Mansion. She and Yu Caijiao could be said to be in the same boat.

So even though her life was difficult, she still helped Yu Caijiao.

But here it turned out to be a grace that appeared between the fingers.

Yu Caiwei was completely disappointed. "What does this have to do with Zisheng and Caiyue? If you hate me, why do you want to involve them?"

Yu Caijiao curled her lips and said, "As long as it makes you unhappy, I will do it."

Yu Caiwei's breathing slowed down.

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Marquis that you caused my miscarriage and childlessness?"

Yu Caijiao patted the dust off her skirt and smiled nonchalantly, "Sister, do you think the Marquis doesn't know what I did in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Boom——

Thunder mixed with heavy rain rolled down.

Yu Caiwei was suddenly stunned.

Yu Caijiao turned and looked at Yu Caiwei, "Sister, the Marquis doesn't have you in his heart. So he knows everything I did to you. He married you because your mother's family is a salt household in Qinghe. The dowry is rich and can pay off the taxes owed to the court, so he married you."

"Do you think it was really me who caused your miscarriage? It was because he cared about your identity as a merchant mother and felt that the child you gave birth to was not worthy of being the legitimate son of the Marquisate, so he gave the medicine to me. It was not me who caused your miscarriage, sister..."

Yu Caijiao smiled, her smile was chilling and bone-chilling.

It was like peeling off the skin and pulling out the tendons, all the pain was sucked away from Yu Caiwei bit by bit.

"impossible……"

"how is this possible?"

Yu Caiwei had a blank look on her face, but she believed it to some extent in her heart.

Yu Caijiao smiled, "Don't be angry, sister. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. I won't stop you. I'm afraid you don't know that your maternal grandfather's family was reported to sell inferior fake salt, and it was the Marquis who did it all, in order to control the Qinghe Salt Mine in his hands."

Yu Caiwei's eyelashes trembled helplessly.

She already knew in her heart that Yu Caijiao had not lied to her.

There was a storm outside, with lightning and thunder.

Many people passed through Yu Caiwei’s mind.

She has worked hard for the Marquis's Mansion all her life, aspiring to be a model mistress of the house, but she has never been favored by her husband. Just because she was born to a merchant family, does that mean the child she is carrying is also of lowly status?

So what did her younger brothers and sisters, her maternal ancestors, and her maidservants do wrong?

Yu Caiwei's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and overwhelming hatred swept through her body, almost crushing her completely.

The blood rushed up, and she screamed with all her might, "You guys are so heartless, selfish and vicious! - Xiao Cheng, you are so heartless and you deceived me so much! You deceived me so much!"

With a "wow" sound, a large mouthful of blood spurted out. The thunder accompanying the last word ended, and she closed her eyes completely.
