"Why are you here!"
Facing her stepmother Gu's horrified scolding, Lin Yulan quickly knelt down and saluted, and said anxiously: "Mother, I came to find you. My sister insisted on going to the back mountain to enjoy the flowers and didn't allow me to follow her. I tried to persuade her in vain, so I had to report to mother quickly. What if..."
"Nonsense! How can you be a sister? What use do I have for you!"
Thinking of her own arrangements, Gu's face changed drastically. She said harshly, "I'll settle the score with you later!" and hurried away with her servants.
Lin Yulan looked at her hurried and anxious background and curled her lips, hoping that she would still make it in time.
When her younger sister Lin Yuwei sent Aunt Zhang away and warned her in a threatening manner to stay away from the back mountain, and she herself went straight to the back mountain with her maid Huaping, looking excited and eager, she knew that her younger sister had been reborn just like her.
It was the same in her previous life. Her stepmother took her and her sisters to Xiangshan Temple to burn incense. Nanny Zhang lured her to the back mountain to enjoy the scenery and suddenly pushed her into the water. There happened to be a few young men there enjoying the scenery, and one of them jumped in to save her. Later, she was forced to marry him.
Those men were all low-level leaders of the Five Military Commandery, the highest of whom was no more than seventh rank.
Many people never get promoted in their entire lives.
After all, she was the daughter of a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. For the sake of her reputation, Gu would never let her marry someone without an official position.
She would also not feel at ease letting her marry a juren or jinshi - what if he passed the imperial examination and became successful in the future?
Only the low-level leaders who are responsible for security patrols in the capital are almost destined to never get ahead in their lives and never be able to step over her head.
The Gu family has been planning for this day for a long time.
Everything falls into place.
However, what she never dreamed was that Meng Mingchi, who had rescued her from the water in her previous life, was actually the lost illegitimate son of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion!
The eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion had only one son, who was frail and sickly and died soon after.
The eldest son of the Duke of Rong's Mansion naturally did not want the title to fall into the hands of others, and after bringing Meng Mingchi back, he naturally became the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion and later the Duke of Rong.
Lin Yulan's status naturally rose with the tide.
Meng Mingchi respected his legal wife, showed up in front of the emperor, made several contributions, and rose to prominence. Who wouldn't envy Lin Yulan's good fortune?
The one who was particularly envious and jealous was Lin Yulan's younger sister, Lin Yuwei.
In her previous life, Lin Yuwei married the Marquis of Wuwei. If the two families had not become friends by chance when their elders were still alive, the Lin family would not have been able to have such a good marriage.
However, after Lin Yuwei got married, she did not get along well with the Wuwei Marquis and his wife. The relationships within the Wuwei Marquis's mansion were also complicated, and Lin Yuwei's life was extremely painful.
Later, Wuwei Marquis Shao Xun had an accident that crippled his legs, and then died in a fire. Shao Xun had no children, so the title naturally went to the second wife. Lin Yuwei filed for divorce and returned to her parents' home to live as a widow. She was depressed and sarcastic. From then on, she resented Lin Yulan day and night and tried every way to make trouble for her.
It seems that after her rebirth, she decided to marry Meng Mingchi and become the glorious wife of the Duke of Rong.
Lin Yulan looked at him with mockery. The Rongguo Mansion looked glamorous on the surface, but inside it was full of vicious struggles, secretive affairs and sordid affairs. Meng Mingchi was even more of a fool. She had spent countless efforts and painstaking planning to help Meng Mingchi establish himself.
This person is a heartless, cold-blooded and ungrateful person. In fact, Lin Yulan has not enjoyed any happiness. She seems to be doing well on the surface, but she is exhausted and unable to express her pain inside.
If she had not exhausted herself so much and suffered two miscarriages, which severely damaged her vitality, she would not have died of illness before the age of forty.
He died of illness... Well, he is finally free.
Perhaps God saw that she had suffered too much, so he allowed her to be reborn and gave her a chance to start over.
Lin Yulan took a deep breath. She couldn’t stay here for too long and had to catch up quickly.
Otherwise, it would be terrible if the stepmother got angry.
Lin Yulan and her maid Xiaoqu hurried back to the courtyard where they burned incense and rested. As soon as she entered, she heard a fierce quarrel between Gu and Lin Yuwei, mother and daughter, coming from the house, and she stopped in her tracks.
"You useless thing, are you trying to piss me off to death! That kid surnamed Meng looks so poor, and that's all he'll have in his life, why do you have to marry him? Are you going to have to eat coarse food with him? I told you, I'll take care of this matter, why do you have to marry him!"
"Mother, don't look down on a young man who is poor. Things change over time. Who knows which cloud in the sky will bring rain? I think Brother Meng is handsome and will become a great man in the future. Mother, please listen to my advice. My vision is definitely not wrong. I am optimistic about Brother Meng. He will definitely be a great man in the future! When your daughter is successful, you will enjoy the happiness too. I will definitely be filial to you!"
"You! You are so stubborn! You are so stubborn!"
"Mom, so many people saw Brother Meng hugging me, I have no choice but to marry him. Anyway, I think this is God's will! He is my perfect match!"
"what!"
Gu was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet, what a damn girl!
Lin Yulan wanted to laugh when she heard this. She could imagine how mad Gu was at that moment.
Lin Yuwei and her servant came out of the house. The two sisters looked at each other. Lin Yulan looked uneasy and uncertain, and nodded and forced a smile at her younger sister. However, Lin Yuwei raised her chin and hummed softly, like a rooster that had won a fight.
She walked up to Lin Yulan with a haughty look on her face, sizing her up, thinking that she had been reborn and could see through everything, which made her feel extremely superior to Lin Yulan.
"Sister, congratulations, I have a very good marriage for you."
"what!"
Lin Yulan's expression changed slightly.
Lin Yuwei giggled and pulled her sleeve affectionately, saying softly, "It's the marriage with the Marquis of Wuwei. I've decided to give it to you. There's order of seniority. For me, this marriage is the best in the world. I couldn't even get it on tiptoe before! When I become the wife of the Marquis of Wuwei, please remember my kindness and repay me!"
Lin Yuwei laughed happily, and before leaving, she looked at Lin Yulan deeply: This idiot, she doesn't know what she has missed in this life! The wealth, honor and dignity that originally belonged to her now all belong to her. Let her deal with the hateful and cunning old woman in Wuwei Marquis's Mansion, the vicious second wife and her family, and the cold-hearted, domineering and arrogant Wuwei Marquis Shao Xun who didn't treat her as his wife at all in this life.
She wanted her to experience all the sufferings she had endured in her previous life, twice as much in this life!
In this life, it is finally my turn to enjoy life.
Thinking of the profound heritage and overwhelming wealth of the Duke of Rong's Mansion, Lin Yuwei's eyes were excited and her heart was burning. All of this would belong to her!
How could she, a concubine's daughter who is inferior to me in every way, have a happier marriage than me?
