Chapter 1: Great Joy in the Marquisate

Chapter 1: Great Joy in the Marquisate

In the 21st year of Yongshou in the Great Qi Dynasty, the autumn wind was bleak, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and the impending cold winter seized the vitality of the earth.

Outside the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery in the capital was a sea of ​​bright red, a festive scene. The bright red sedan carrying the bride circled the city several times accompanied by music before arriving at the gate of the mansion. Behind it was a long string of rosewood boxes tied with red satin in the shape of flowers, which were filled with the bride's dowry.

"The new wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is really wealthy. Look at these sixty-four loads of dowry. It's comparable to the standard used by princesses to get married during the time of the late emperor."

"The key is that she found a good husband. It is said that the loyal and brave marquis almost lost his life for her."

"Oh, you mean the crazy woman in front of him? Tsk tsk, she is from a famous family, why is she acting like that? It's obvious that she has a bad lifestyle, but after being exposed, she actually killed her husband. Bah! She really disgraced the reputation of the Ye family!"

"The Ye family girl's dowry was much larger than this. Come to think of it... those boxes look somewhat familiar."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't all the dowry boxes of wealthy families look the same?"

……

In a remote courtyard in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Ye Qiongying sat on the ground with a pale face.

Her limbs were pierced by iron chains and were surrounded by dried blood. Looking at the chains and the red spots on the ground, as well as the thick scabs on the wounds, it was obvious that they were the result of repeated healing and struggle.

There was a faint noise coming from the front.

Ye Qiongying raised her head in a trance.

Marry a new bride...

Yin Xu finally got his wish and married Leng Qianqian in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

Ye Qiongying felt cold in her heart, but it was not because she couldn't express her love for Yin Xu, but because her husband now had a new wife, so she was heartbroken.

It was because he thought of his own miserable life and the Ye family that was implicated.

Initially, after her father and brother died tragically, she had planned to go to the border and rebuild the Ye family army.

Unexpectedly, my mother couldn't bear the blow and hanged herself to death. My aunt was also divorced by her husband's family. She took my little cousin back to the Ye family and practiced Buddhism at home.

My grandmother was very old and was devastated by the series of bad news. She fell seriously ill and could hardly speak normally.

Faced with this situation, Ye Qiongying could not leave.

She stayed, and after some planning, she chose Yin Xu, the loyal and brave marquis who had nothing at home.

At that time, after several generations of squandering, the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was only an empty shell. In a place like the capital, it had no reputation and no money, so it was extremely difficult to propose marriage.

But Ye Qiongying was attracted by the other party's situation. In addition, Yin Xu had some skills and his appearance was handsome. At least he was not an eyesore, so she agreed to his proposal.

It doesn't matter whether he likes it or not. What matters is that by promoting the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery personally, the Ye family will have one more person to rely on in the future.

Yin Xu is a man who values ​​his reputation the most. If he doesn't want to be accused of being ungrateful in the future, he will definitely not turn his back on others.

After marriage, relying on the Ye family's connections, Yin Xu climbed up step by step and finally achieved his current success.

However, what Ye Qiongying waited for was not Yin Xu's repayment of kindness and support for her mother's family, but betrayal!

Leng Qianqian, who appeared out of nowhere, completely took away Yin Xu's heart and made him lose his mind.

In order to be together openly, these two dogs who claimed to be in true love designed a good drama to slander Ye Qiongying for having an affair, just to make her give up her position as the legal wife to Leng Qianqian.

Afterwards, she took advantage of the power of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion to continuously attack the Ye family. She also kept throwing dirty water on Ye Qiongying, and step by step ruined her reputation, making her a famous mad woman in the capital.

Even at this point, Yin Xu did not forget to maintain his good reputation. He said that for the sake of the Ye family's ancestors, he would not divorce Ye Qiongying and would still keep her in his mansion.

But now she is suffering from insanity and is mentally ill. She is really not suitable to be the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, so he had to divorce her.

Outsiders only know to praise Yin Xu for his kindness and righteousness, but they have no idea what kind of life this divorced woman lives in her mansion?

Because of the fear that the Ye family would make a comeback, Yin Xu tried every means to eliminate the Ye family line one by one, and even the maids and servants in the mansion were dismissed;

Since she knew Kung Fu, Yin Xu found someone to pierce her limbs and bones, and locked her in the woodshed day and night, leaving her to starve and suffer.

The wound healed and then tore again, tore again and then scabbed over, over and over again. No one treated it. Even on this cold autumn day, I could smell a strange odor.

And now, the couple who had gained all the honors by stepping on her Ye family were married.

"Hahahaha..." Ye Qiongying laughed a few times, but was choked by the cold air and burst into a series of coughs.

Just then, the door of the woodshed opened.

A figure in a red wedding dress walked in.

But it was Leng Qianqian who was supposed to be waiting for the groom in the bridal chamber.

Leng Qianqian took out a bowl of hot soup from the lunch box, walked to Ye Qiongying, saw the stains on her body, stepped back with some disgust, and then stepped on Ye Qiongying's injured ankle.

With this movement, the boiling hot soup in her hand spilled out and splashed onto Ye Qiongying's face, scalding her originally pale face and causing blisters to appear on it immediately.

"Oh... I'm sorry, sister, are you okay?" Leng Qianqian squatted down, "I didn't mean it, please don't blame me!"

Ye Qiongying bit her lips and did not scream even though her body was in pain. She just stared at Leng Qianqian's hypocritical face.

Leng Qianqian felt her back crawling under her gaze, so she turned sideways to avoid her sight and took out a new bowl of hot soup from the lunch box:

"Sister, it's a cold day, I made some hot soup for you, drink it to warm your body."

Having said that, he force-fed me a spoonful of it.

Ye Qiongying refused to drink it and spat on Leng Qianqian.

Leng Qianqian saw that her beautiful wedding dress was stained with soup, and her face suddenly became ugly:

"Sister, I'm telling you, with your personality, how could the Marquis possibly like you? He loves women like me, not tomboys like you.

By the way, today is the wedding day for the Marquis and I, and..."

Leng Qianqian touched her belly and said with a smile:

"We're going to have a baby soon, sister, aren't you happy for us?"

Ye Qiongying stared at Leng Qianqian's belly.

They had a child, but they killed my aunt's child!

God has no eyes! God has no eyes!

Leng Qianqian seemed to enjoy Ye Qiongying's miserable appearance. She covered her mouth and whispered:

"Actually, I don't want to compete with you. But the Marquis doesn't love you. True love is innocent. Who let you occupy this position and refuse to give it up?

I came from another world, and I was originally the heroine chosen by God, and the Marquis is my hero. Sister, you are too ignorant. You deserve such a fate for a vicious female supporting role like you. "

Ye Qiongying was shocked by Leng Qianqian's previous words, and was so angry that she laughed at what she said later.

vicious?

Who could be as vicious as these two?

He clearly robbed other people's things and destroyed other people's families, but this person can still calmly say that the victim is vicious?

Is this what Yin Xu said about kindness and cuteness? Ha! They really match each other, they are both so mean!

"Well, it's about time. I should go back and wait for the Marquis. Goodbye, sister... No, goodbye forever."

Leng Qianqian stood up, patted her skirt, and then shouted to the outside,

"Come in and see the lady off for the last time."

Several strong servants rushed in, took out a bowl of medicine from the food box, removed Ye Qiongying's jaw, and forced the medicine into her mouth.

"Cuckoo..."

Ye Qiongying opened her eyes wide, unable to struggle, watching the red figure walking further and further away. The severe pain spread throughout her body bit by bit, and blood kept gushing out of her mouth and nose.

Yin Xu! Leng Qianqian!

If there is an afterlife, if there is an afterlife...

The pain of suffocation made her vision dim. When her consciousness gradually faded, Ye Qiongying suddenly felt her whole body relax.

The next moment, the cold and hard ground seemed to become soft and comfortable.

And next to her finger, there seemed to be... a naked body? !
