The Zhao family was even more ruthless. They directly spread the news that Zhao Qiuru had suggested the Zhao family to ruin Jiang Lin's marriage, and pushed all the blame on Zhao Qiuru. They even said that Mrs. Zhao came to Anyang Bofu to ask for an explanation but was severely beaten by Zhao Qiuru. She went back and lay down, unable to get out of bed for several days.
Thinking back to the past when Zhao Qiuru took away Jiang Lin's biological mother's dowry, Zhao Qiuru's bad reputation was completely confirmed.
The Zhao family was good at shifting the blame, so even though many people knew what kind of people they were, they still looked better on the surface.
Zhao Qiuru's bad reputation didn't affect Anyang Bofu very much, but it had a profound impact on Jiang Zhen.
Du Yuling told Du Yingying everything about how Zhao Qiuru harmed Jiang Lin and wanted to give Wei Yunzhao a concubine. He also said that Jiang Zhen's sudden appearance in the temple as a hero to save the beauty was actually a deliberate plan, and it was his mother who gave him the idea. Jiang Zhen and his mother wanted to make Du Yingying fall in love with Jiang Zhen so that he could use the power of the Du family to benefit himself. Jiang Zhen's mother was so cruel, and Jiang Zhen, as her son, must not be much better.
Du Yingying didn't like Jiang Zhen that much in the first place, and after being brainwashed by her brother, she began to think that Jiang Zhen was not a good person.
Of course, Jiang Lin played a big role in this. Du Yuling talked about the food made by Jiang Lin, saying that Zhao Qiuru had harmed Jiang Lin so much that if she married Jiang Zhen, she would never be able to eat the delicious food made by Jiang Lin again.
As a result, Du Yingying cut off contact with Jiang Zhen, and the Du family also told Jiang Zhen that they would never marry Du Yingying to him.
Jiang Zhen went from seeing hope to being completely shut out by the Du family and then to despair. The gap between the two was so obvious. He also resented his mother in his heart, he thought that she didn't care about her son at all. She knew that Jiang Lin had a good relationship with the Du family, but she targeted Jiang Lin before he married Du Yingying, thus ruining the marriage.
However, despite his resentment, Jiang Zhen didn't go to blame Zhao Qiuru directly. He only asked the servant beside him to inquire about her condition after she fell ill again. He himself didn't go to see her.
Her husband was at the vixen's courtyard, her eldest son refused to see her, and her youngest son hadn't been home for a long time. Zhao Qiuru lay sickly in bed, thinking about why she did all this, and missed her well-behaved and sensible daughter more and more.
It would be great if Yue'er was still alive, but there was a voice in her head that kept telling her that her Yue'er was dead and her good daughter had died long ago.
She was now a sickly person and unwanted. Her husband, son, and even her natal family, all hated her to the core. They all hated her and wished she would die!
Zhao Qiuru sometimes couldn't help but think that it would be better to just die than live like this.
But she couldn't bear it. She thought she couldn't die because she hadn't avenged her Yue'er.
Zhao Qiuru couldn't sleep all night long. Whenever she closed her eyes, it was as if someone was whispering in her ear that her retribution had come, and someone was urging her to die. She would be awakened every time she closed her eyes. The oil lamp in the room must be lit all night and couldn't be turned off for a moment
The bronze mirror in the room was also moved away, because Zhao Qiuru was afraid to see it.
The servants in Zhao Qiuru's courtyard felt that the lady was becoming more and more abnormal. She always said that someone wanted to harm her, and she often looked frightened. The maids were so scared that they started to have wild thoughts. She would only be quiet for a while after drinking the medicine. After so much trouble, the maids hoped that she could drink more medicine so that they, the servants, could have a moment of peace.
Jiang Lin, who had happily celebrated New Year's Eve, received news from Anyang Bofu on the morning of the first day of the new year that Zhao Qiuru had gone crazy.
