Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game

Just like a solitary pine tree, his calm and composed demeanor is not inferior even to that of a noble young man.

From that moment on, Su Yi's eyes followed him involuntarily.

During a few brief exchanges, the two young hearts quietly drew closer and eventually made a private lifelong covenant that was not blessed.

As the noble daughter of the Duke's Mansion, such an action was undoubtedly the first rebellion in her life.

It was also the only time I bravely followed myself.

Immersed in memories, Su Yi had a smile on her face that was both bitter and sweet.

It seems like a remembrance of the good old days, yet filled with a sense of remoteness and sadness.

And Su Rao's heart at this moment was filled with the name "Yin Taochen".

All the puzzles seem to have answers.

It turned out that in that past life, she and he had already had a chance to pass by each other.

Time flies, the imperial examination comes again, and this time, Shen Jinghong stands out.

The second place in the high school entrance exam, and the top scorer who won the first place was Yin Taochen.

With his outstanding appearance and single status, he quickly became a candidate for son-in-law that the powerful and wealthy competed for.

Among the many suitors, Mrs. Huo and Mr. and Mrs. Huo were particularly prominent.

Madam Huo, the younger sister of the Imperial Noble Consort, was promoted to Crown Princess when the King of Qi came to power.

Her status also rose and became more and more prominent.

Her daughter fell in love with Yin Taochen at first sight and dreamed of becoming his bride.

Everyone said that Yin Taochen had both knowledge and the support of powerful people, so his future was limitless.

But surprisingly, in the face of Mrs. Huo's favor, Yin Taochen flatly refused, insisting that he already had someone in his heart.

What is even more puzzling is that, since he had made up his mind, why did he not take any action and did not propose marriage to any family?

Mrs. Huo naturally felt that this was perfunctory and couldn't help feeling dissatisfied.

When the emperor came to power, Yin Taochen stepped into the core of power with his outstanding talents and became a member of the cabinet.

At that time, Shen Jinghong often complained privately that no matter what the matter was, Yin Taochen always seemed to be better than him.

In Su Rao's eyes, Yin Taochen is not only a man of extraordinary talent, but also a person worth making friends with.

She had planned to try to narrow the distance between him and Shen Jinghong by understanding his preferences.

However, Yin Taochen's official career was smooth and he was deeply trusted by the emperor.

But he always remained single in his personal life and never even thought of taking a concubine.

He is honest and upright, never forms cliques or abuses his power for personal gain.

Such behavior makes it impossible to find any flaws that can be exploited.

However, with the new emperor ascending the throne, Mrs. Huo finally found an opportunity to put her grievances against Yin Taochen into practice.

What is ridiculous is that this is an upright and incorruptible official.

He was falsely accused of corruption, stripped of his official position, and exiled to the frontier. The twists and turns of his fate are truly regrettable.

In her previous life, Su Rao was full of curiosity about the person in Yin Taochen's heart.

At this moment, looking at his determined and deep eyes, the curiosity in her heart became stronger and stronger, as if the answer was about to surface.

There is no need to guess any more, these are obviously two hearts that love each other deeply.

But they are helplessly bound by the shackles of fate and unable to stay together. This scene is truly heartbreaking.

At this moment when I was filled with melancholy, the wheels of the car suddenly stopped and the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.

That is the famous gate of the Su Mansion, majestic and solemn.

The grand reception at the Su Mansion was enough to make people astonished. Duke Su brought along all his children and concubines.

They stood in a row in the middle of the hall, all of them craned their necks, their eyes filled with eager anticipation for the person who was about to arrive.

As soon as Su Yi stepped over the threshold, he was surrounded by respectful bows.

Although these rituals are complicated, they reveal the majesty of a family.

Mr. Su's face was filled with an unconcealable smile, and he kindly asked Su Yi about the trivial daily life in the palace.

The conversation was full of social pleasantries, but his eyes seemed to deliberately avoid Su Rao.

Never gave her even a hint of attention.

Su Rao's eyes shuttled through the bustling crowd, eagerly searching for that familiar figure, and she felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.

However, no matter how hard she searched, she could not find any trace of her mother, and her brows unconsciously furrowed.

"Where's my little girl?"

she asked directly and urgently.

Hearing this, Duke Su said with a hint of impatience: "Who knows where she is hiding to slack off again."

Su Rao suddenly felt suspicious because it was the big day when her sister would come home.

How could my mother be absent, even if it was just with a glimmer of hope that she could return home?

Without waiting for more words, Su Rao turned around and walked resolutely towards the backyard, leaving behind Duke Su who cursed: "This girl is really becoming more and more lawless.

Seeing this, Zhang pretended to be concerned: "Princess, Rao'er didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

Wan'er once mentioned that the prince was devoted to Buddhism and stayed away from worldly affairs.

This made Zhang even more curious and gloating about Su Rao's experience.

Soon after Su Rao returned to the palace, she was treated coldly and even punished.

Perhaps it was because Su Yi had a soft heart that he brought this unknown sister back home.

Zhang was secretly delighted and hoped to find comfort in Su Rao's misfortune.

This proves how wise it was to leave the opportunity to enter the palace to Su Rao.

Su Yi's words carried a hint of triumph: "Rao'er is smart and filial, and is deeply appreciated by the prince. Yesterday, I went to the palace to meet the queen, and the queen specifically asked about Rao'er's situation and gave her a high evaluation."

After these words were spoken, Mr. Su looked slightly embarrassed.

Zhang's expression suddenly became extremely ugly, full of disbelief and jealousy.

Su Rao's pace gradually quickened as she walked towards the depths of the courtyard.

She had walked this road countless times, but it had never felt as long and heavy as it did today.

My anxiety was burning like a fire. Why didn't my mother come to greet me?

Was there an accident?

She couldn't help but worry, would someone take the opportunity to bully her mother while she was away?

Filled with worry, she couldn't help but quicken her pace, almost turning it into a sprint.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. It was Chun Shao, with tears in her eyes.

She held Su Rao's hand tightly with both hands, choking with sobs, "Miss, it's really Miss! I'm not dreaming! Miss, please save Auntie quickly, she...she can't hold on for much longer."

When Su Rao heard this, she was extremely anxious and immediately ran to her mother's residence.

On the way, from Chunshao's intermittent narration mixed with sobs, she gradually sorted out the whole story.

He suffered a severe punishment of thirty strokes of the cane without any relatives or friends, but Zhang was so stingy that he didn't even want to hire a doctor!

Su Rao recalled her previous life, when her mother also suffered innocently. She was forced to crawl out of the dog hole just to seek medical treatment.
