Chapter 185 Extra 4-Previous Life 2

Chapter 185 Extra 4-Previous Life 2

Ever since Yin Xu could remember, there had always been quarrels in his family.

My grandfather was a gambler, and all the valuable items in the house, big and small, were mortgaged by him.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to preserve the reputation of the Marquisate, he would probably have mortgaged the ancestral house and the servants and women in the family.

The ancestral sword was once pawned by my grandfather, but it had not been used for a long time and no one had ever maintained it. Outsiders could not even tell the name of the sword. They just thought it was a rusty piece of waste, not worth a few copper coins at all, and my grandfather took it back with a look of disgust.

Later, the grandfather died suddenly in the gambling house due to emotional excitement and old age, and the Marquis's Mansion finally had a chance to catch his breath.

By the time of Yin Xu's father's generation, although he was not as fond of gambling as his grandfather, he was not much better either.

When my father was young, he also had the idea of ​​reviving the family, but he had no talent. He had great ambitions but could do nothing.

There was no longer any shelter in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Yin's father even thought about taking the imperial examination himself, but he failed even the most basic test.

And the martial arts...

This was the skill that the ancestors of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's family used to make their fortune, but this generation can't do anything with it. They can't even wield weapons, let alone use it to gain fame and fortune.

Yin's father was depressed and frustrated, and until his son Yin Xu was born, he began to ask a teacher to teach Yin Xu.

Swordplay, horse riding...

The son must also learn the skills that his ancestors learned.

Even the rusty sword was taken out and maintained a little, so it no longer looked so shabby.

But the plan fell apart after a few years.

Yin Xu had no talent for martial arts, and the Marquis's Mansion had long been in ruins, with no money left to hire a martial arts master.

Even Yin Xu himself was afraid of pain and fatigue and didn't want to learn these things at all.

There is also a mother in the mansion who dotes on her children.

Father Yin finally realized that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was doomed to fail.

He was frustrated and began to drink all day long.

He was not in good health to begin with, and he drank heavily, so he died before he got old.

Before his death, Father Yin regained a little hope and passed on his last wish of revitalizing the Marquisate to his son Yin Xu.

From then on, Yin Xu knew that he had to revive the Marquis' Mansion!

But he encountered the same situation as his father.

He is neither good at literature nor martial arts, and his future is almost blocked.

At that time, his father still had some money, and with the help of the title of Marquis's Mansion, he was able to marry his mother.

But by this time, the Marquis's Mansion was too poor to have any money to maintain its reputation, and this was even known to everyone in the capital.

Even if the Marquis' Mansion was still there, Yin Xu was still a handsome man, and no family would be willing to marry their daughter into the Marquis' Mansion to suffer.

There is no way that the wealthy and powerful would be interested in a poor guy like him.

Those from the lower class who wanted to marry into a higher class looked down on him for having neither face nor substance. Even if they sent their daughters to other families to be concubines, it would still be better than having them be the mistress of his mansion.

Yin Xu has reached the age where he can get married, but not even one person has come to propose marriage to him.

Old Madam Yin was extremely anxious, and even her eldest daughter, who was already married, tried to get her younger brother married, but to no avail.

Just when Yin Xu thought he had no hope, he met Ye Qiongying.

Unlike him, Ye Qiongying was born into the Ye family, which has a really rich background.

The ancestors of the Ye family were very famous. They had been imperial tutors and ministers for several generations, and they had been generals who protected the country for generations. Both their connections and wealth were considerable.

Logically speaking, there was no way that Ye Qiongying, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, could marry into the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.

but……

An accident caused all the men of the Ye family to die!

She, a proud girl of heaven, suddenly fell into crisis and was surrounded by enemies.

Ye Qiongying saw that he needed help and proposed an exchange, and the two families became allies.

The Ye family helped him to revive the Marquisate. The Loyal and Brave Marquisate would become the support of the Ye family in the future and provide protection for the several female members of the Ye family.

Yin Xu agreed without hesitation.

At that time, Ye Qiongying had bright eyes and a burning gaze, like a blooming red peony. Even in the face of a disaster, she was able to bloom with a different charm that made people unable to take their eyes off her.

In order to revive the Marquis' Mansion, Yin Xu agreed to Ye Qiongying's conditions and wanted to use the Ye family's resources to achieve his wish.

But on the other hand, he had to admit that he was attracted to Ye Qiongying.

In the following years, with the help of the Ye family and Ye Qiongying's advice behind the scenes, the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery became better and better. He also successfully entered the court and began to have his own network of contacts.

When other people talked about him, they no longer called him a "poor guy" or a "poor fellow", but respectfully addressed him as "Lord Marquis".

There were also women who would blush at his handsome looks and see him in his gorgeous and heroic attire.

Yin Xu gradually gained confidence, his back straightened and his voice became louder.

And these are all the benefits brought by the Ye family.

Even if we put aside the interests, Ye Qiongying herself is beautiful and generous, and such a beauty also brings so many benefits. Who wouldn't envy him for having such a good wife? It's hard not to be moved when you are with her.

The two have agreed that they will continue to get along as a real couple, not just allies.

Just then, Leng Qianqian appeared.

She fell from the sky and landed right into Yin Xu's arms.

To be honest, Leng Qianqian was not as pretty and delicate as Ye Qiongying, and even among the noble ladies in Beijing, her appearance was not the best.

Yin Xu's first reaction was to throw the person out, but he couldn't help but ask about the other person's identity.

Leng Qianqian grabbed his collar, blinked, and suddenly showed a playful smile:

"I am a fairy that fell from the sky. I came here for you."

She was so weak and innocent, relying on him wholeheartedly, as if he was everything to her.

Not as strong as Ye Qiongying, it seems like it makes no difference whether he is there or not.

Yin Xu's heart was shaken.

He placed Leng Qianqian outside.

At first, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary. They just sat together talking and drinking tea.

Leng Qianqian has many strange ideas and likes to dress up as a man to go out with him. She makes a fuss about everything she sees and looks very cute when she exclaims.

She is a very kind girl who often helps others when she sees bad things happening on the street.

Marquis Yin Xu's identity was finally put to use. He had to listen to his mother and Ye Qiongying in the mansion, and to His Majesty and other officials in the court. He didn't dare to vent anything to anyone, and even in front of the servants in the mansion, he had to maintain his bright and kind image so as not to be looked down upon by the Ye family.

But now, he can reveal his identity, make those bad guys flee, and help Leng Qianqian achieve "justice".

In the eyes of others, he is a poor man with a bad situation, and a marquis who relies on his wife's family to rise to power.

In Ye Qiongying's eyes, he was an ally with common interests and a husband promised to be hers in marriage.

But in Leng Qianqian's eyes, he is a great hero, a marquis who holds power, and a great man of integrity!

Yin Xu became more and more fascinated by this feeling, and liked Leng Qianqian more and more for bringing her a sense of freshness.

The two finally crossed the last line.

The Yin family was not well off, so as a young master, he naturally did not have any maid to warm his bed.

After he became a marquis, his mansion became even poorer.

Since there is not even a girl willing to marry him, he doesn't dare and doesn't have the conditions to have a concubine.

After all, he no longer has any advantages. If he gets a concubine in his house, which girl would be willing to suffer injustice?

After getting married, everything in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion was obtained by the Ye family, and he was not allowed to take concubines.

But he and Ye Qiongying were just exchanging interests, nothing more happened between them. They had already agreed to become a real couple, but...

In short, Leng Qianqian was his first woman, and she made him appreciate the sweetness of her.

Leng Qianqian who worships and loves him, the kind and simple Leng Qianqian, the cute and playful Leng Qianqian, the weak but strong Leng Qianqian...

Each one of them is better than Ye Qiongying.

Yin Xu finally made up his mind.

He wanted Leng Qianqian to enter the Marquis' Mansion and become his wife!

As for the Ye family...

Now that he has his own status, even if the Ye family is gone, it will only be more troublesome.

Leng Qianqian was taken back to the Marquis' Mansion.

However, the Ye family is not so easy to deal with.

Yin Xu looked worried, but for some reason he felt relieved in his heart.

That might not be a bad idea.

Leng Qianqian can always be with him, and as long as Ye Qiongying is around, the Ye family will not abandon the Marquis' Mansion.

But not long after this happened, Ye Qiongying was discovered having an affair in the Shangshu's residence!

The reputation of the Marquis' Mansion has been ruined by this woman!

Of course Yin Xu knew that with Ye Qiongying's personality and upbringing, it was impossible for her to do such an outrageous thing.

Even if they really wanted to have an affair, with the strength of the Ye family, could it be discovered?

He also vaguely realized that this matter might be related to Leng Qianqian.

but……

He must protect Leng Qianqian.

And the Ye family...

This is a good opportunity to get rid of Ye Qiongying, occupy the moral high ground, and continue to use the Ye family, isn't it?

The plan went smoothly.

Ye Qiongying was smart, but she was too well protected by the Ye family and was too naive to actually believe in the covenant. She never thought that Yin Xu would go to such an extent.

If they wanted to isolate Ye Qiongying, they had to deal with the few remaining living people in the Ye family first.

The old woman, who was already in poor health, was so easy to attack that a serious illness could take her life.

Mrs. Hua’s weakness was so easy to find. Once the little girl died, she went crazy.

The other few people in the Ye Mansion who had a say were either poisoned or assassinated.

The identity of Ye family's son-in-law is really a good tool.

Ye Qiongying went from being an unfaithful criminal to losing all her family members, and finally being trapped in the marquis' mansion, while also gaining a reputation as a lunatic outside.

On the contrary, the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion won a lot of praise by stepping on the flesh and blood of the Ye family.

He also began to gather the Ye family’s resources.

However, he was not a true descendant of the Ye family, and had never come into contact with many things. What he got was only one tenth of what the Ye family had.

But that's enough.

Yin Xu became wealthy and bought some betrothal gifts. He also gave Ye Qiongying's generous dowry directly to Leng Qianqian as a dowry, giving Leng Qianqian a grand wedding.

then……

Ye Qiongying is dead.

He was poisoned by Leng Qianqian and died on the spot.

By the time Yin Xu found out, Ye Qiongying's body was already cold.

She looked very thin, her face was pale and her clothes were tattered. She was no longer the blooming peony she used to be.

Yin Xu was inexplicably afraid to look at it. He hurriedly fled from the woodshed and had the body buried. He waited a few more days before holding a funeral for Ye Qiongying, in order to avoid the death of someone on the wedding day, which would arouse suspicion on him and Leng Qianqian.

He did a great job.

Ye Qiongying had lost all her family long ago, so naturally no one came forward to help her find out the truth.

Yin Xu thought that the days would just pass by like this and that the future would be bright and smooth.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty inexplicably thought of the Ye family.

The trouble caused by the second house and the eldest sister actually implicated the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

The whole family was slaughtered!

When the result came out, Yin Xu's legs went limp and he wanted to escape, but the door was full of guards.

Leng Qianqian was also very scared and said that she was deceived and had nothing to do with the Ye family.

Later, she even said that she was not from this world, that she wanted to see His Majesty, and that she knew many magical things, such as gunpowder that could kill armies, transparent glass that could be used as windows, delicious food, and beautiful cosmetics...

But the guards outside the door remained unmoved.

However, the news of His Majesty's death arrived first.

A new emperor comes to power.

Yin Xu had no time to care about Leng Qianqian's previous madness. He thought that the Marquis' Mansion was about to usher in a new life. After all, when a new emperor came to the throne, he would usually grant amnesty to the whole country.

No.

Because dealing with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion was the last will of the late emperor, and Your Majesty, no matter what, would never become a disloyal and unfilial person in history just for the sake of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion.

The marquis was sent to the execution ground.

Click!

The first to be beheaded was the second wife.

Heads were chopped off one by one and rolled over here round and bloody.

Yin Xu was so frightened that he was stunned.

Leng Qianqian was so frightened that she screamed and hurriedly distanced herself from the Marquis' Mansion.

Old Madam Yin was so frightened that she fainted.

Then, it’s the eldest sister.

Next, it's their turn.

Old Madam Yin lost her life before she even woke up.

Then, it was Leng Qianqian's turn.

Perhaps knowing that she could not escape death, she finally stopped begging for mercy and glared at Yin Xu with hatred:

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how could I have been beheaded! What I regret most is meeting you! I won't die, I won't die! I will return to the modern era. I am different from you ancient people, hahahaha..."

Before her laughter ended, the head had been chopped off, and blood covered Yin Xu's head and face.

Finally, it’s him, the Marquis.

Yin Xu lowered his head and looked at the blood on the ground.

For some reason, he saw a bright smiling face in the bright red blood, and the man asked him:

"Are you Yin Xu? My name is Ye Qiongying. I have a deal. Do you want to hear it?"

Yin Xu thought: Do you regret it?

But before he could come up with an answer, he felt his body shake, and then he saw a blurry shadow, and then he saw the sky above.

Oh, it turns out that his head was chopped off. This was the last scene he saw before he died.
