Zhen Wan hurriedly retreated two steps, pretending to kneel on the ground in fear. Clutching her face, she pleaded, "Mistress, it's all Zhen Wan's fault. Zhen Wan shouldn't have looked down at the puppy and ignored Little Sister Tao's presence, causing her to fall into the water …"

First Madam was shocked. How did the once proud Zhen Wan turn into such a obedient and obedient Zhen Wan? He was still thinking of making her suffer a little more if she died without admitting her wrongs. Even if she was this obedient, she still wanted to punish her. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around and only Chun Ying, her trusted aide, was left behind. No one would know even if she was punished.

"Chun Ying, bring me a basin of water." First Madam instructed.

After a while, Chun Ying arrived in front of Zhen Wan with a copper basin full of water. She held Zhen Wan's head and pressed down on the copper basin.

"Cough, cough," Zhen Wan broke free from Chun Ying's grasp and choked on her saliva. "First Madam, Zhen Wan admits her mistake. Zhen Wan deserves punishment."

"It's good that you know the punishment." First Madam said sharply, giving Chun Ying a look before ordering her to continue.

Zhen Wan groaned inwardly. In her previous life, she was the one who fell into the water, yet she did not do so. Now, it was she who caused Zhen Tao to fall into the water.

Zhen Tao was the direct descendant of her own daughter, but she was merely the son of Straight Wife. In her previous life, she had been arrogant and proud, so even though no one dared to do anything to her, everyone wanted to see her embarrassed. Currently, First Madam had probably endured for a long time and did not have the opportunity to erupt …

Chun Ying pressed her head down and drowned her three more times. In her previous life, she had been flopping up and down in the water exactly four times. It seemed that she could not escape the cycle of karma no matter what. Zhen Wan thought to herself.

Returning to the brocade lotus residence, Zhen Wan endured the sweetness in her throat as she carefully recalled the events that would happen when she was ten years old in her previous life. When he met Cao Xian for the first time, he was saved by him. After that, it was Straight Wife and Jiang family died. When she was buried, he bumped into her spirit and was sent to the Qingshan Temple to meditate for three years.

First wife, second Straight Wife, fourth concubine … Her mother Su Lianji was Straight Wife, and Straight Wife was Jiang Bijian, General Jiang's eldest daughter.

In her previous life, Aunt Jiang had treated Zhen Wan extremely well. Other than her own mother, Aunt Jiang was the only one who treated her the best. Unfortunately, when she was ten years old, she gave birth to a baby boy.

Zhen Wan had thought of saving Aunt Jiang, but she knew it was too late. In her previous life, it was First Madam who added a flavor to Aunt Jiang's daily birth control medicine. It caused Aunt Jiang's body to become worse and worse, and she finally died from childbirth.

Now that Jiang Bijian was about to give birth to a baby boy in the ninth month of her pregnancy, she must have been taking the birth control drug for nine months. Zhen Wan could only sigh. First Madam's skills were superb, and she died in childbirth. Who would be able to find out anything about her?

But he couldn't let First Madam go just like that. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her flesh. She didn't know pain, but she thought to herself: Aunt Jiang, don't worry. Although Wan is unable to save you, she will definitely overthrow First Madam and take revenge for you …

Every day after that, Lili would go to Aunt Jiang to talk to her. However, after less than a month, she had obtained some incredible news.

After dinner that night, Zhen Wan discovered that she had inadvertently taken away the fan that Aunt Jiang used to fan her, so she decided to send it to her. However, when she arrived at the door, she heard the sound of something falling inside, so she didn't push open the door without thinking.

"Dead infant?!" Why was it only diagnosed when she was about to give birth! "Who did this to me? Speak — who did this to me!" Jiang Biwei threw the cup on the ground and shouted in excitement.

When the imperial physician saw this, he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

His servant at the side, upon seeing this, kneeled on the ground and advised, "Master, don't be angry. "Now that the labor is coming to an end, this servant has a plan …"

Jiang Biyao calmed down. Her servant's eyes were looking around, and she sensibly dismissed everyone, including the imperial physician.

"Using life in exchange for death. Mistress might as well return to the General's Mansion and have Madam find a woman who is also about to give birth, and exchange her child for the flesh and blood in your stomach." The servant looked at Jiang Bijian slyly.

Zhen Wan, who was listening in from outside the house, was shocked. The fan in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
