Chapter 149 Jiang-shi's Secret II
Currently, Jiang Mengrou was lying on her bed in her own yard. When she closed her eyes, it was as if
she could see those things that happened that year. She didn't know how long it's been since that time,
but she knew very clearly in her heart what kind of place that person had in her heart.
Unable to forget, unable to erase, a memory carved into her bones and engraved in her heart.
That was a dream when Jiang Mengrou was a young girl, but that dream, in the end, was mercilessly
destroyed. She become a daughter of a criminal and was heartlessly trampled on by others. The one
that extended a helping hand to her was precisely her current husband, Su Ming.
When Jiang Mengrou thought of this, the glistening tears rolled down from her eyes.
Su Yun, Su Yun, at the time, if only you could have given me another glance, I wouldn't have ended up
with no choice but to become a concubine like now.
Jiang Mengrou closed her eyes. Past memories seemed to surge violently like the tides.
20 years ago.
When Jiang Mengrou was still a sheltered young girl, at that time, the Jiang family was still one of the
top wealthy families within Diqiu. Everyone when mentioning the Jiang family's eldest daughter, were
all praising her beauty. She was equally as famous as the Jing Marquis manor's Ning Siyao.
"Big sister, what are you looking at?" Jiang Mengrou was staring at a figure outside the window, blankly
lost in thought, "Could it be that you've taken a fancy to some family's young master?"
Hearing her little sister making fun of her, Jiang Mengrou turned her head around and gently slapped
her on the head, "What nonsense are you saying, little sister."
When Jiang Menghan followed Jiang Mengrou's gaze and looked over, she just happened to see Su
Yun riding on the back of a horse, returning from battle in victory.
At that time, the twenty year old Su Yun had already made a name for himself in his youth. He was the
man everyone in the entirety of Diqiu wanted to marry. And she also from that glance thoroughly fell for
Su Yun.
Jiang Mengrou didn't notice the mischievous glint in Jiang Menghan's eyes. Afterwards in a moment of
carelessness, she was offhandedly pushed by Jiang Menghan. And just like that, she directly fell from
there.
Hearing a sudden scream, Su Yun immediately flew over and caught her at once, preventing her from
getting intimate with the ground.
Su Yun was a martial artist, he didn't think it was too strange, but Jiang Mengrou at the moment was
already red in the cheeks, "Many thanks young master Su for saving me."
Su Yun looked to the young girl standing in front of him and scratched his head, "It's nothing." With that
said, he turned and left.
Su Yun didn't know, but that glance was already long-lasting. Jiang Mengrou, from that moment
onwards, couldn't walk out from Su Yun's nightmare anymore.
Jiang Mengrou rarely listens to her father speak of the matters of the imperial court, but when her
father was mentioning the imperial court matters, she unexpectedly heard about his marriage.
He said, Su Yun wants to marry Piaoji* General, Luo Guancheng's, eldest daughter, Luo Bing, as his
wife.
(*T/N: Not a very significant translation explanation but the title 'Piaoji' translates to 'solider on a white
horse' where piao = white horse and ji = mounted soldier. Just thought it was interesting.)
Luo Bing, this noble family young lady, she was still very clear about. In the capital, she was the only
young lady waiting to be married that didn't know the feminine arts*, everyday only knowing how to play
with weapons. She felt Su Yun wouldn't marry this kind of girl as his wife, and even more so, wouldn't
love her.
(*T/N: Refers to embroidery, needlework, etc.)
That man didn't hope for his own wife to be able to be hardworking at running the household, nor did
he hope for his wife to be gentle like water, but Luo Bing was infamous in the capital as the 'demon*
girl'. No matter big or small, as long as it was something she couldn't stand watching, she would
interfere.
(*T/N: Actually it references a very specific demon, the original term was 'Luo Cha' which is a demon in
Buddhism. This demon would play tricks on monks in the temple and has a taste for their food.)
She didn't like this kind of girl, so she felt Su Yun would absolutely not like this kind of girl either.
But unexpectedly, about a month later, when she was with her servant girls out on the streets shopping,
she saw that familiar figure. That person was precisely Su Yun. Just when she wanted to go up and
greet him, she saw the other woman at his side, and that woman was precisely--Luo Bing.
"Bing'er, if you like these things, get someone to buy them for you, why trouble to come yourself." Su
Yun was holding a handkerchief and helping the young girl in front of him wipe away the sweat on her
forehead.
Luo Bing felt the gentle chill come from her forehead and blushed, "Father and mother said, in month
will be our wedding day. If I don't find the chance to come out and play now, in the future I'm afraid I
won't have the chance anymore.
"If you marry me, wouldn't you be able to see me everyday." Su Yun said as he grasped Luo Bing's
hand, "It's all my fault, all this time accompanying my father out in the battlefield and neglecting you."
Luo Bing casually held onto Su Yun's arm, "That's why I hope to spend more time with you! In the
future, I'm someone who'll accompany my husband into battle."
Su Yun was a bit amused by Luo Bing's words. He pulled Luo Bing along towards the next vendor.
When walking pass Jiang Mengrou, it was as if he'd never met this girl before.
And at this time, Jiang Mengrou finally knew, that seemingly valiant young man of the battlefield
actually also has such a gentle side. It was just, that girl standing in front of him wasn't her.
After Jiang Mengrou returned home, she told her father her thoughts. Her father knew that she was
having her first awakening of love, and for her to walk out of it, was probably a very difficult. So he still
mentioned this matter to General Su.
But this matter was rejected by Su Yun. Moreover, he even rejected it so determinately.
He said: 'In this lifetime, I'll only have Bing'er as my only wife. I'll never take concubines.'
Those were such dazzling words. This life, he won't marry anyone else but her.
When Su Yun and Luo Bing married, she didn't go, because she knew that even if she went, there
wouldn't be any good results. It was nothing more than just adding salt to her wounds.
Afterwards, the Jiang family fell. She was saved by her father by sending her away. But after being
tossed from person to person, she ended up entering the Su manor. No one knew she was once the
Jiang family's eldest daughter, even Ning Siyao didn't know.
Jiang Mengrou married Su Ming. She married Su Ming with the status of a concubine. She married into
the Su manor she'd always dreamed of.
In the manor, she neither fought nor competed. She also never made it difficult for Ning Siyao. Thus,
Ning Siyao naturally didn't bother to deal with her. Towards this concubine, she'd also never bothered
to get involved with either.
Later, when she learned that Luo Bing was pregnant, she began having wicked thoughts. She wanted
Su Yun to never have a good life in this lifetime. She also wanted Su Yun to live in guilt for all his life.
Afterwards, she decided to use poison, bit by bit, over a long period of time, she fed the pregnant Luo
Bing poison. But she didn't expect that not only did Luo Bing not die, she even healthily gave birth to
Su Qingyan.
But after that, she finally learned, when Luo Bing was pregnant, those toxins all were passed onto NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Qingyan in the womb. All passed onto the daughter she painstakingly gave birth to.
Jiang Mengrou didn't like Su Qingyan and didn't want to see that face that was a bit similar to Luo
Bing's. She once thought of a way to say bad things about Su Qingyan in front of Ning Siyao.
Eventually, Ning Siyao decided to raise Qingyan at her knees, and thus raising her into that personality.
But who knew that everything afterwards weren't as she'd imagined. Everything was all progressing in
another unknown direction.
"Yiniang*, third miss has come, said she wanted to meet Yiniang." Liang Chen's voice sounded by
Jiang Mengrou's ears.
(*T/N: How concubines of a household are addressed as.)
When Jiang Mengrou heard it was Su Qingting, her lips overflowed with a smile. Although she didn't
have any feelings towards Su Ming, towards her only daughter, she was still very good to.
Yet no one knew, the secret she had hidden in her heart.
