Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Ch.30 - Previous Life

Cheng Yujin brought the food box and walked out. She had just stepped out of the building when she encountered Xheng Yumo on the corridor.

Seeing Cheng Yujin,　Cheng Yumo was stunned. Since Jingyong Marquis manor came to propose her marriage, even if both sides said they didn't care, the two sisters' relationship still visibly went cold. Cheng Yumo said that she was doing it for Cheng Yujin's own good. But when caught off guard, Cheng Yumo's first reaction upon seeing Cheng Yujin was dislike.

Cheng Yumo couldn't help thinking about her previous life, when she was forced to see her sister marry her beloved man. At that time, she was ill. Staying alone on her sickbed, she listened to the lively hustle and bustle outside, with firecrackers and the sound of people coming and going. However, she seemed to be forgotten by the world, staying alone in a lonely room. Because she was ill, she couldn't even go out to mingle with the happy crowd.

That feeling, even after two lifetimes, Cheng Yumo would never forget.

Even if these things wouldn't recur in this life, Cheng Yumo still didn't feel relieved. She couldn't help thinking: if only Cheng Yujin didn't lie to replace her position, she and Huo Changyuan would not experience those ups and downs.

Heaven knew how painful Cheng Yumo felt when she saw her sister standing side by side with Huo Changyuan in her previous life. When Cheng Yujin and Huo Changyuan came to Yichun Marquis manor for the first visit after marriage, Cheng Yumo sat on the table with other family members and had to listen to everyone praising Cheng Yujin and Huo Changyuan's legendary marriage tale, saying that the two were a fated couple. Cheng Yumo's heart was as if being cut by a knife. Each and every word was stabbing her heart, piercing into her flesh and dipping it in blood. What utterly crushed Cheng Yumo was seeing Huo Changyuan smiling at her sister, carefully picking up Cheng Yujin's favorite dishes.

At that time, Cheng Yumo couldn't stand it anymore and almost rushed over to shout: you have got the wrong person, the one who saved you is me, is me! Perhaps, Cheng Yumo's expression was too obvious and was seen by Old Madam Cheng. The Old Madam said nothing, but quickly ordered a Mama to take her away. After that, each time Cheng Yujin and Huo Changyuan came to visit, the Old Madam would separate Cheng Yumo for various reasons.

Cheng Yumo went through the most painful months of being misunderstood, betrayed, and forgotten. Her heart gradually died. She thought, maybe this was her fate. Her sister robbed her of nutrition when they were still in their mother's stomach, resulting in her being born weak and sickly. Growing up, because her sister was adopted by an aunt with noble status, she had to pick her sister's leftover every time. Yes, even her marriage was robbed and used for her sister's stepping stone. Perhaps, heaven let her born just to make her a foil, allowing her sister sucked her blood and scraped her flesh.

Cheng Yumo was about to admit his fate when news came that Cheng Yujin was pregnant. Even after this long, they still refused to let her go, and stabbed another knife into her numbed heart. Cheng Yumo also heard that Huo Changyuan was very happy with Cheng Yujin's pregnancy. Everyone in Jingyong Marquis manor had to concede to the pregnant Marchioness. Even when Cheng Yujin wanted to invite her family over to accompany her, Huo Changyuan quickly agreed.

When Cheng Yumo came to Jingyong Marquis manor, she saw Cheng Yujin clad in luxurious clothes and was provided with every best thing to raise her fetus. Everyone in the manor treated Cheng Yujin respectfully. Cheng Yumo listened to everyone complimenting the Marchioness for being smart, beautiful, and capable. She also saw how they were eagerly looking forward to the child in Cheng Yujin's stomach. Several times, Cheng Yumo almost couldn't bear it. These are obviously hers, and Cheng Yujin clearly was the impostor who seized her life-saving grace!
