I fought back after reselling my engagement

Zhen Rong was taking care of the patient by the bed.

Old Madam Zhen had a headache when she thought about this. If she had known about the affair between the emperor and Su Wan, she would not have dared to plot against him even if she had ten guts. Over the years, the eldest son has been in the official career for more than ten years, and was promoted to a sixth-rank official a month after getting married. Now, seventeen years have passed, and he is still a sixth-rank official, neither promoted nor demoted, and has been working in the Ministry of Justice for nearly twenty years.

Zhen Yuan said: "Mom, you were fine yesterday, why are you sick now?"

Old Madam Zhen had a severe headache. Although she asked a doctor to check her pulse, she felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart. "Rong'er, go down first. I'll talk to your uncle."

"Yes." Zhen Rong responded and retreated.

Old Madam Zhen dismissed all the people around her, leaving only her trusted maidservant by her side.

"Zhen Zhen did something big behind our backs. During the banquet, she jumped into the lotus pond and was carried up by Prince Rong. Afterwards, she sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, but the Rong family did not respond. Yesterday, she made a scene at the Rong residence and had an argument with Miss Rong. She talked about how my mother and I plotted to get Su to marry her eighteen years ago.

Miss Rong said that when Su married into the Zhen family, she never had a real relationship with you. Jiarou is not of the Zhen family's bloodline, but... is she his flesh and blood?"

Old Mrs. Zhen heard it from her second daughter-in-law, otherwise, how would she know such a big thing.

The second daughter-in-law and her family were almost scared to death. They said that Su should have been the queen, but because Zhen Yuan ruined her reputation, she was forced to marry down.

Fear flashed across Zhen Yuan's eyes. On his wedding night, he was feeling proud and was about to enter the room when a masked man in gorgeous clothes said, "Zhen Yuan, you are so bold! Do you know that Su Wan is the one chosen by the emperor? The imperial edict to appoint her as the empress has been written, but you slandered her reputation and forced her to marry..."

When he heard this, he was already nine-tenths drunk, but was so frightened that all his drunkenness disappeared.

When I looked back, the man was gone.

He leaned against a tree and vomited violently.

He didn't believe it, but he was a little suspicious. Su Wan was sixteen years old, in the prime of her life, how could she not have an engagement? Not only her, but also Zhou Ting was the same.

Thinking about it this way, he understood that it was not that there was no engagement, but that the Su family wanted her to enter the palace.

He still wanted to get to the bottom of it, so he bravely entered the room, but he didn't dare to lift her veil. He was afraid that he would make the same mistake again. Even if he was bolder, he wouldn't dare to snatch the emperor's woman. "You... do you know the emperor?"

"Your Majesty?" Su Wan, wearing a bright red veil, said, "I recognize you."

"If it weren't for me, would you have married into the palace?"

"My father once told me that the emperor intends to marry me as his queen. This is what the emperor told my father." Su Wan's voice was gentle and pleasant, but such a moving voice was earth-shattering to him.

He didn't know what Su Wan was thinking, but she spoke calmly, not angry at his calculations, as if losing the position of queen was no big deal.

It was not until she was seriously ill and asked to see him that he entered her inner room. At that time, her room was full of the smell of medicine, which was a bit unpleasant. He knew that she was ill and she refused to take medicine. He deliberately poured the medicine into the flower pot in front of the window, and even the medicine was drowned by the medicine.

She wanted to die!

"You want to see me?" He felt guilty towards Su Wan. If it weren't for his selfishness, how could she have ended up like this.

Su Wan said, "I am leaving. I have told my parents, and they promised that after I leave, they will take Su Su to live with the Su family. Don't stop them then.

You stole the emperor's woman and you are still safe and sound. You guessed it, it was my plea. As long as you don't take bribes or pervert the law, you and other officials will be promoted.

In the past few years, you always asked me to speak well of you, but he always tolerated you. If you had the hatred of having your wife taken away from you, how could you let that man live..."

Zhen Yuan looked at Su Wan. Although she looked haggard, she was still beautiful. She was stunning when they first met, but now she looked thin, which made people feel even more pitiful. However, over the years, he didn't even have the courage to see her, and he didn't dare to get along with her.

"Susu's father is..."

"Don't ask. If you know too much about some things, you won't live long." She covered her mouth and coughed lightly. After coughing, her cheeks turned slightly red, and there was a bloodstain on the brocade handkerchief.

She was going to die, and she was dying from her illness.

"Master Zhen, I don't hate you, I really don't hate you at all. My parents said that I am too soft-hearted, and even if I enter the palace, I am afraid I won't live long.

But I didn’t expect that there would be so many people who were involved in plotting against me and harming me…”

He didn't understand why she mentioned so many people, but he thought that based on the calculations of mother and son, a person who was designated as the queen should not have gotten into trouble. But if she got into trouble, there must be other big shots involved.

That was the last time Zhen Yuan saw Su Wan. She only told him one thing, that he should not stop the Su family from bringing Su Su home. He really didn't want to see Su Su, because she wasn't his daughter, but he couldn't find out who Su Su's biological father was.

Su Wan passed away two days later.

He set up a mourning hall for her with the ceremony for his legitimate wife.

The woman who amazed him and made him fall in love with her at first sight, was gone just like that. She was less than 25 years old when she passed away, at the peak of her beauty. Even after her death, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

The 49th day after Su Wan's death, someone from the Su family came to pick her up.

He didn't stop it.

In Su Wan's heart, her husband is not him.

His wife was never Su Wan.

They have always been a nominal couple.

He woke up from a dream on his wedding night. In the following years, he walked to her bedroom several times. Once, he was about to enter the room, but was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, the masked man warned him: "Su is not your woman. She doesn't have you in her heart. If you dare to have improper thoughts, you will be poisoned and die after touching her!"

After being warned again and again and being knocked unconscious several times when he entered the room, he no longer dared to go.

But Su Wan later became pregnant. Of course he knew that the child was not his, but he could not say it, nor did he dare to question it. Should he tell everyone that he and Su Wan were nominally husband and wife? He also had the great crime of taking away the emperor's woman. There was a gleaming knife hanging over his head. Once it fell, he would lose his head and his life.

At that moment, Old Lady Zhen asked, "Yuan'er, are you talking?"

Zhen Yuan's voice trembled: "Mom, you have ruined my life."

Really!

Those rumors were all true.

It’s not that Su Wan can’t hold Zhen Yuan’s heart, it’s that Su Wan and Zhen Yuan have never been a real couple.

What did she do? She helped her son get the woman he wanted, but that woman turned out to be the empress that the emperor had chosen.

No wonder that mysterious woman said she wanted to help her?

That woman must have come from the palace.

Old Madam Zhen shouted, "It's not that you have to marry her, otherwise you would marry Yu. Is Yu worthy of you? Her family is poor, she is not worthy of you..."

“But over the years, although Yu is only a concubine in name, she and I have a husband-and-wife relationship.”

Everything is fate.

If it's not his, he can't get it even if he tries his best.

After marrying her, he didn't dare touch her in order to save his own life.

He was afraid of death and had been in fear of it for more than ten years.
