After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 2 Jiang Mianmian's Precognitive Dream

"Madam...Madam, something terrible has happened! The eldest young mistress has gone into premature labor!"

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian was sleeping soundly when a series of shouts disturbed her, making her head buzz.

She was so sleepy! She hadn't had a good night's sleep in ages, and now that she had finally fallen asleep, who was being so annoying and inconsiderate as to disturb her sleep!

Then, Jiang Mianmian got out of bed and stormed to the door, intending to scold the person who came. But when she opened the door, it was as if she saw the young Li Mama standing in front of her door.

Jiang Mianmian was stunned for a moment. Hmm, this person looks... how come... she looks like a younger version of... Granny Li?

Just as she was about to ask the person in front of her a question, she heard the younger version of Granny Li across from her say anxiously:

"Oh dear! Madam, something terrible has happened! The eldest young master just sent his servants to report that the eldest young mistress was accidentally bumped into while praying for blessings today, which startled her and caused her to go into premature labor!"

Suddenly, a little maid jumped out from the side; it was Shaoyao, the second-class maidservant of the eldest daughter-in-law.

She quickly added, "Reporting to the old lady, the eldest young master also said that the manor should send two midwives and a wet nurse to Xuanji Nunnery as soon as possible, because the eldest young mistress is about to give birth."

Oh, right, Sister Lily said we also need to bring the young master's or young lady's swaddling blanket, and a few other things.

After hearing what the two said, Jiang Mianmian's brain went completely blank. She was in a surreal and confused state. What were these two talking about?

"What are you talking about? Didn't Li Tingxue already have several children? Why are you sending them now? And what, she's pregnant again and has another baby? How come I didn't know?"

Jiang Mianmian's mind was still hazy, and she couldn't understand what they were saying.

When Li Mama saw that the old lady still looked bewildered, she thought that the old lady had fallen asleep and was confused, so she didn't have time to explain any further.

After all, childbirth is a rather urgent matter and cannot be delayed, so she relayed the instructions to the old lady.

Otherwise, she was afraid that if something happened to the eldest young mistress, the eldest young master wouldn't dare to do anything to the old lady, but they, the servants, would definitely die a terrible death!

Granny Li exclaimed in distress, stamped her foot anxiously, turned around, and hurriedly ran out of Songhe Courtyard.

After seeing Granny Li leave, Peony hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and quickly followed. The two of them ran together toward the cherry blossom courtyard of their eldest daughter-in-law.

In her heart, Granny Li sighed: "It's still her who, under the old lady's name, went to the Cherry Blossom Courtyard and personally instructed people to bring things, and to call the midwife and wet nurse!"

Otherwise, if the eldest young master finds out about this, his relationship with the old lady might become even more strained!

As she walked, she kept muttering to herself, "Oh dear! The old lady is really something. Even if she doesn't like the eldest young mistress usually, she still has to consider the timing..."

I stared at the departing figure of the younger version of Granny Li, and her muttered murmurs.

Jiang Mianmian seemed to be deep in thought. Oh dear, so last night was just a dream! But those things felt so real!

What Jiang Mianmian didn't know was that Yan Jun, worried about something happening to her, simply erased her memories again.

At this moment, she felt as if she were in a dream, thinking that the things in her mind were all things she had dreamed about.

The thought of seeing her granddaughter for the first time more than ten years later in her dream, and seeing her covered in bruises from abuse, breaks her heart. How much suffering has this child endured!

In her dream, she remembered insisting on kicking the fake heiress out of the house, and having everyone in the capital introduce her little granddaughter to prove her real granddaughter's identity.

But his eldest son and daughter-in-law disagreed and even argued with him. They said that the Marquis's mansion was not unable to support a child; it was just one more person to feed.

Even her grandchildren were thinking of using a fake heiress to stop her.

The eldest son and his wife disliked their biological daughter greatly, saying she was petty and lacked talent and virtue, and was weak and timid.

They said that even if she became a true heiress, she wouldn't be respectable and wouldn't deserve the title of the Marquis's legitimate daughter. They said she would bring shame to the Marquis's family if she went out.

In the days that followed, with the contrast between the real and fake heiresses, they looked down on the real heiresses more and more, saying that the fake heiresses were proficient in all the arts, and that she was a talented woman in the capital, a model of a noblewoman.

He gave the couple a good scolding, telling them that what they were saying was all nonsense. He said if they raised their real daughter with the same pampered care, they would see if she turned out like this!

Under such circumstances, the fake heiress either frames or harms the real heiress, and constantly uses malicious provocations to provoke her, making her increasingly extreme in her actions.

In the end, everyone hated the real heiress and wished they could kick her out of the mansion.

Even so, the fake heiress had no intention of letting the real heiress go. In front of someone who admired her, the fake heiress shed two tears and said a few ambiguous words.

The fake heiress's admirer plunged the real heiress into despair, hiring someone to kidnap her and torture her. Unwilling to suffer humiliation, the real heiress bit her tongue and committed suicide.

When the eldest son and his wife heard the news of Zhenqianjin's death, they didn't feel sad at all; instead, they breathed a sigh of relief.

He then instructed the servants in the mansion to bury the real daughter anywhere, and from then on, to pretend that she never existed.

After learning about this, Jiang Mianmian angrily cursed the two as inhuman, worse than pigs and dogs. She was so angry that she fainted and ended up being known as a wicked mother-in-law.

For some reason, she felt as if she had forgotten something, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

Jiang Mianmian couldn't remember and didn't want to think about it anymore. Then, she suddenly slapped her head:

"Oh dear, I remember now! Today in my dream was the day my eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to our granddaughter. I almost forgot!"

Jiang Mianmian then remembered the important matter in her dream! No, since she already knew about this in advance, she couldn't let her poor little granddaughter be switched by someone with ulterior motives.

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian ignored the younger version of Granny Li and, without caring about anything else, ran towards the gate of the mansion:

"Oh dear! Li Tingxue suddenly gave birth prematurely. She must be very scared right now. I have to go and see her myself, otherwise... my granddaughter won't be able to wait for her to come out!"

When Granny Li returned to report, she saw the old lady running out. She was stunned when she heard what the old lady said.

Once she realized what was happening, Granny Li could no longer stand still. With a cry of "Oh dear!", she quickly followed the old lady's retreating figure.

As she ran, she wondered to herself: What's wrong with this old lady? She seemed so indifferent just now, but now she's starting to get anxious!

Oh dear! Madam, you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You used the child as an excuse, but you were actually worried about the eldest young mistress! That's why you said that. It seems she really misunderstood Madam earlier.
