It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Chapter 523 I really don’t want to die

Yuan Buwei walked across the straw-covered ground, slowly walked to Yuan Jinse, squatted down, and opened the food box.

Yuan Jinse, who was originally crawling, smelled the aroma of food and sat up suddenly.

But when she saw the person opposite her clearly, Yuan Jinse was suddenly stunned: "Yuan Buwei, why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me?"

Yuan Buwei brought out the dishes one by one, picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Yuan Jinse.

Yuan Jinse didn't answer. She stared at the food in front of her, her eyes full of vigilance: "You didn't poison the food, did you?"

"You can't even get out of this cell, so why should I bother?" Yuan Buwei handed the chopsticks to Yuan Jinse again, "You probably haven't eaten home food for a long time, try it."

Yuan Jinse originally wanted to pretend, but the food was so delicious, and every dish was her favorite.

In the end, she temporarily put aside the grudge with Yuan Buwei, took the chopsticks, and began to eat voraciously.

Yuan Buwei picked up the wine glass and began to pour the wine: "I used to wonder why you hated me so much, until I gave birth to a daughter and became a mother myself, then I knew why you hated me."

Yuan Jinse was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Yuan Buwei: "You, you have a daughter?"

"Well, her name is Mianmian."

Yuan Buwei handed the wine to Yuan Jinse: "In fact, you and I are both pawns used by our parents to make a profit."

"piece?"

Yuan Jinse shook her head: "Father, mother is so good to me, how could she treat me as a pawn? Yuan Buwei, you yourself are not liked by your parents, are you going to drag me down with you?"

"My parents are not from famous families, and they have no one to support them. They just want to rely on us to change their fate. Moreover, my father was extremely disappointed when he saw that I was a girl. My mother knew very well that if her second child was also a girl, my father would definitely take a concubine. That's why my mother bribed the Taoist priest and made up a lie. It seems that you can survive safely, but in fact, my mother did it for herself."

This time, Yuan Jinse did not refute, but narrowed her eyes, with a puzzled look on her face: "My mother is my father's first wife. Even if my father takes a concubine, the child born by the concubine will be under her name."

"If it's really as you said, then why do concubines still cause chaos? You must have heard a lot of such incidents when you were at home, right?"

Yuan Jinse was speechless and could only put rice into her mouth.

"Taking a concubine is like tearing a hole. You can take several and keep several outside. As long as father has many children, even if you are the legitimate daughter, you are just a decoration. It is precisely because mother took this into consideration that she killed this hidden danger in the cradle. But you and I are both normal people. They also know that I didn't grow up with them since I was a child and I have resentment towards them. They are afraid that after I come into contact with you, I will lead you astray. So when I was not around, they must have said a lot of bad things about me in front of you, right?"

"You mean, our parents deliberately created discord between us just to control us?" Yuan Jinse snorted and laughed, "This is ridiculous. There are so many sisters in the capital who are united. Yuan Buwei, don't slander your parents in front of me just because you hate them!"

"Yes, if we sisters were of one mind, when you saw what happened to me, would you blame your parents for abandoning me? Would you think that if you displeased them one day, you would also be abandoned by them? This is a big hidden danger. Your parents are afraid that you will be the second me, so they instilled those ideas in you." After Yuan Buwei drank a glass of wine, she saw Yuan Jinse lost in thought, "I said this not to erase the love your parents have for you, but you are deeply controlled by them. Do you know? After you died in the last life, your mother's attitude towards me suddenly improved. When I mentioned you, the look in your mother's eyes, I still remember it to this day, disgust, displeasure."

"Impossible, you're talking nonsense. My mother loves me the most. It's impossible for her to hate me." Yuan Jinse didn't believe it and her voice became hoarse.

"Because of your actions, the emperor was alarmed at the time. If you hadn't died in an accident, do you think Wan Ninghou would have let you go after lifting the ban?"

"I……"

"You and I are both pawns of our parents, tools to realize their life values. If we sisters were united, you would have run away with me long ago. All the efforts of our parents over the years have been in vain. In fact, the cost of raising a daughter is the lowest. Many families have risen to prominence by relying on the women in the family, but once something happens, it is the women who are responsible. It is really unfair." Yuan Buwei snorted and laughed, looking at Yuan Jinse who was gradually turning pale. "You can take my words as shit, but you can ask yourself, have you really lived for yourself until now? Or are you living for your parents and the so-called family reputation?"

The food in Yuan Jinse's mouth suddenly lost its flavor. She racked her brains and tried hard to think, but her mind went blank.

"I...I just want to marry a good man and be a rich wife, I..."

"Jiang Weiming was able to pass the imperial examination because I watched him study and learn to read. I even hired a teacher for him. Have you ever had that experience?"

"I didn't." Yuan Jinse shook her head and then reacted, "You mean, Jiang Weiming passed the exam in his previous life because of your help?"

"Jiang Weiming was not a good student, and he was not good at studying. If I hadn't coaxed him, how could he have studied hard? Later, when he went to take up his post, I helped him secretly every time, but he never thanked me. He was always dissatisfied with me because I was hanging out with those people from the underworld. He would quarrel with me at the slightest disagreement, and even hit me when the quarrel got too intense. I believe you have also suffered from him. When you told your parents, if they really cared about you and loved you, why didn't you go to the palace and tell the emperor about it?"

"Clap."

The chopsticks in Yuan Jinse's hand fell to the ground, and tears as big as beans rolled down from her wide eyes.

"I don't know, I don't know anything. I only know that you have a very good life in the Jiang family, you..."

"The glory is for others to see, but the sadness in the dark can only be felt by oneself."

"Why do they treat me like this? Am I not their biological daughter? Am I really just a tool to them?" Yuan Jinse asked loudly, "They clearly said that they would protect me for the rest of my life."

“Don’t look at what people say, look at what they do.”

Yuan Buwei stood up and looked at her crying sister with a hint of pity in her eyes: "Now you don't even have a chance to turn back."

"Sister, sister..."

Perhaps realizing that her life was really coming to an end, Yuan Jinse stopped eating and crawled towards Yuan Buwei: "You are the only one who can be saved right now. I don't want to die. I really don't want to die."
