Su Xiaofei didn't know yet that some dreams are destined to remain just dreams.

At this moment, a cold and elegant woman with an ethereal appearance came to the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion.

It was none other than Kong Junli, the eldest daughter of Shangshu Kong and Shangguan Sinan's cousin.

Marquis Pingnan did not come out to entertain them, but directly asked the maid to take Kong Junli to Shangguan Sinan's courtyard.

"cousin!"

Shangguan Sinan was shocked when he saw Kong Junli. His cousin was not in good health and had been relying on medicine since she was a child. In fact, it was related to Shangguan Sinan.

At that time, Shangguan Sinan had just arrived at the Confucius Mansion. He was rebellious and naughty, and had no restraint at all. He climbed trees to rob bird nests and went to the lake to catch fish. He was not ambiguous at all, and the Confucius Mansion was in chaos.

Once, when Shangguan Sinan was climbing a tree to take out a bird's nest, his long-time attendant Xiao Anzi secretly tampered with the tree branches. When he was getting down from the tree, the tampered branch broke directly, and Shangguan Sinan fell down.

Mrs. Kong, who was nine months pregnant, happened to pass by. She was so scared that she rushed over to catch Shangguan Sinan.

However, the force of the lawsuit going south was still quite strong, and it directly stimulated Mrs. Kong to give birth prematurely.

Kong Junli gave birth prematurely.

Shangguan Sinan was also frightened.

This time, Kong Zhijing did not let Shangguan Sinan avoid it and interrogated Xiao Anzi in person.

Unable to endure the torture, Xiao Anzi finally confessed everything.

Shangguan Sinan is already six years old.

I understand everything I should understand.

It was also on this day that Shangguan Sinan's inner world collapsed.

After a month of silence, Kong Junli was one month old, and Shangguan Sinan had also changed.

Looking at his aunt, Shangguan Sinan's eyes were filled with guilt, regret and admiration.

Apart from my mother, my aunt was the only person who was willing to risk her life to save me.

However, when his mother passed away, Shangguan Sinan was too young. He only vaguely remembered his mother's gentle eyes and warm embrace.

Other memories have become increasingly blurred as I grow older.

"Ugh!"

A sigh came, and Shangguan Sinan's body stiffened. Is my aunt disappointed in me?

Shangguan Sinan looked at his aunt nervously, his little hands almost tearing his clothes.

"Nan'er, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Aunt, wuwuwu! I, wuwuwu..."

Shangguan Sinan was just a child after all. When he heard that his aunt did not blame him and was willing to speak to him gently, he immediately threw himself into his aunt's arms and burst into tears.

After Shangguan Sinan had cried enough, Kong Zhijing asked Xingping to take Shangguan Sinan downstairs to wash and change clothes.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Kong Zhijing walked over, gently hugged his wife, and sincerely thanked his wife. For the sake of his sister's only child, his wife really suffered this time.

Fortunately, mother and daughter are safe.

Fortunately, the lady came from a family of military generals and knew some martial arts, so her health was much better than that of the average woman.

Otherwise, the consequences are really unimaginable.

As for my daughter, she was born prematurely and her body is much weaker than that of other children.

But you're still alive after all, aren't you?

"Husband, it's okay. Just think of it as my way of repaying my little sister's kindness. It's really okay."

Kong Zhijing hugged his wife tightly. With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?

Fortunately, Nan'er finally came to his senses and turned back. He was worthy of his younger sister and his parents' temporary trust.

It will be better in the future.

When Kong Junli was one year old, Shangguan Sinan gave Kong Junli a wooden sword he carved himself.

There are two small words engraved on it - Junli.

"Sister, I will protect you forever."

This is Shangguan Sinan’s promise.

From then on, Shangguan Sinan took meticulous care of Kong Junli every day of her growth.

Shangguan Sinan has always treated Kong Junli as his most beloved sister, taking care of her and protecting her at all times.

Shangguan Sinan ignored the fact that they were not real siblings after all.

Therefore, after Kong Junli came of age, she began to fall in love with Shangguan Sinan, her childhood sweetheart.

Deep down, she had more than once considered Shangguan Sinan as her future husband.

But one day she heard her parents chatting.

It turned out that her body was too weak and she probably wouldn't be able to give birth to her own children in this lifetime.

At that moment, Kong Junli's world collapsed.

Kong Junli is kind.

She truly loves her cousin.

So, she couldn't let her cousin have no descendants.

From that day on, Kong Junli suppressed her love for her cousin deep in her heart and tried to care for Shangguan Sinan as if he were her brother.

Until a few months ago, news came back that my cousin had been attacked, seriously injured, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Kong Junli couldn't bear the blow and died.

Then, inexplicably, Kong Junli was reborn again.

It took a long time for Kong Junli to accept the fact that he was reborn.

Yeah.

Now that I have been reborn, I will help my cousin protect his beloved wife.

That kind and smart Su Xiaoya.

Unfortunately, her vicious cousin drugged her with saffron and poisoned her, causing her sister-in-law to die during childbirth. Her poor little nephew died in the womb before he could even see the world.

In this life, she is back. She must protect her sister-in-law, that gentle woman, and her nephew.

That is my cousin’s eldest son.

Because my sister-in-law had been abused since she was a child, her health was seriously deficient. It was only after my cousin searched everywhere for natural resources and took great pains to restore her health that he was able to recover.

It took eight years of marriage to finally have this child.

Thinking of this, Kong Junli secretly vowed to take good care of his body and protect Brother Nan's wife and children.

Who would have thought that when Kong Junli was concentrating on taking care of his health, news spread throughout the streets of Kyoto that Aunt Mo had an affair and was so bold as to confuse the heirs of the Marquis's mansion, and was eventually thrown into prison.

Kong Junli was completely confused.

This, this is different from what I remember!

In the previous life, although my cousin also inherited the title, it was my father who exchanged it with the Marquis of Pingnan using the evidence that Aunt Mo was a concubine.

The one who is engaged becomes the wife, and the one who runs away becomes the concubine.

What's more, she is a mistress who is not even as good as a concubine.

It is absolutely impossible for her to become a second wife.

Once exposed, even Shangguan Sibei would have no future.

You are a concubine, and you still want to have a future?

Ha ha!

Therefore, in order to preserve Aunt Mo's position as the successor and to preserve Shangguan Sibei's identity and future as the legitimate son, Marquis Pingnan compromised.

Shangguan Sinan inherited the title as he wished.

Afterwards, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion was divided.

Shangguan Sinan only kept the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, and all other properties were given to Pingnan Marquis and Shangguan Sibei.

It can be considered that everyone gets what he needs.

But, in this life, everything has changed completely.

This Shangguan Sibei is not actually the son of Marquis Pingnan?

Kong Junli thought about it carefully.

I heard that after the family split up, Pingnan Hou returned to his hometown to retire a year later.

Aunt Mo stayed in the capital and helped Shangguan Sibei marry the daughter of a fifth-rank official.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, although the Pingnan Marquis's family was divided, the current Pingnan Marquis gave all his family property to his younger brother born to his second wife. It can be seen that there is still affection between the two brothers.

So, did Pingnan Hou in the previous life really return to his hometown to retire?
