It was daybreak, and the faint trace of paleness could be seen on the horizon.

Gu Zhiyin stared blankly at the beautiful girl reflected in the bronze mirror. The bright red wedding dress made her look even more gorgeous and eye-catching.

"Miss, the second young lady has had a quarrel with the Madam. She threatened to die if she refused to marry Prince Ming of Pingyang Prefecture. She urged the Master and his Madam to let her exchange marriages with you. She will marry the Third Young Master Shen, and you will marry into the Prince of Pingyang's mansion." The maid Ruyi came to report, panting, her face full of indignation.

Hearing this, Gu Zhiyin's eyes slowly brightened up, and then she smiled faintly.

It seems that she is not the only one who has been reborn.

Gu Jinse was also reborn.

Ruyi stamped her feet anxiously: "Miss, why are you still laughing? The second young lady has loved to snatch your things since she was a child. Today is the day you are getting married together, and she actually wants to snatch your husband. It's so..." shameless.

Ruyi did not dare to utter the last few words. It did not matter if she was punished for the insubordination, but she was afraid of implicating the eldest lady.

"If she wants to snatch it, then let her snatch it. I will marry into the Fu family and become the princess of the county. Wouldn't that be more honorable?"

If Gu Jinse wants to snatch it, let her snatch it.

Later she will find out that Shen Linzhou's high position and power in charge of military affairs is not because he is extremely capable and resourceful.

It was Gu Zhiyin who gave him advice and spent all her family wealth to enable Shen Linzhou to hold a high position in the future.

Gu Jinse really thought that she could become a phoenix by snatching a man.

"That being said, Miss, the Prince of Ming is not a good man. If you marry him, your life will be ruined." Ruyi said distressedly, "The Second Miss must have figured this out, and that's why she suddenly regretted not marrying him."

Isn't it harming others to push the man that even the second young lady doesn't want to marry to her young lady?

The Palace of Prince Pingyang sounds noble, but it is weak inside. What's more, Prince Ming is a well-known playboy who spends his time eating, drinking and having fun, and has no knowledge or skills. Not long ago, he had a fight with someone over an actor and almost caused a death. After Prince Pingyang finally suppressed the matter, he brought the person into the palace with great fanfare and made a big fuss.

“Life is long, and no one can guarantee it until the end!” Gu Zhiyin smiled faintly.

Aristocratic families have always attached great importance to rules. Men are not allowed to take concubines before they get married. As a result, those who are of equal status to the Fu family are unwilling to marry their daughters to them and suffer humiliation.

So the old princess lowered her standards. Family background was not important. As long as the man was clean, had a decent character and could stabilize the family, it would be enough.

So they chose the Gu family!

At that time, the Shen family, a doctor in the Ministry of Works, also sent someone to come and propose marriage.

Even though what Prince Ming did was so shameless, it was a good marriage that the Gu family could not find even with a lantern.

Gu Zhiyin is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, but her biological mother died early. Now Mrs. Gu is her stepmother, so such a good marriage naturally falls on her biological daughter, Gu Jinse.

In the previous life, Gu Zhiyin was arranged by her stepmother to marry into the Shen family, while Gu Jinse married into the Pingyang Palace.

Because the prince's favoritism towards actors caused unrest in the family, the Fu family knew they were in the wrong, so the old princess was particularly loving and generous to Gu Jinse. She gave her power to be the head of the household early on, fearing that Gu Jinse would be wronged in any way. She supported her in everything and granted her whatever she wanted. It can be said that after Gu Jinse got married, she almost walked sideways in the Pingyang Prince's Mansion and lived an extremely comfortable life.

Unfortunately, Gu Jinse was not satisfied with this. She fought with the actor every day, making the already chaotic palace even more chaotic. Over time, the old princess lost her patience, and the prince and the actor loved each other so deeply that he finally broke off relations with the Fu family for the sake of his beloved.

Prince Ming lost his mother at an early age and was raised by his grandmother. The old princess loved this eldest son and grandson very much. Now he was forced by Gu Jinse to leave the family for an actor. The old princess fell ill in anger and passed away not long after. Prince Pingyang hated Gu Jinse so much that he imprisoned her in the farm on the pretext of recuperating, making her live a life worse than death.

Gu Zhiyin married the third young master Shen. Although her life was not as good as Gu Jinse's at the beginning, Shen Sanlang was a hardworking man. He joined the army and was promoted from a small soldier to a deputy general in just three years. He was capable and resourceful, and his victories made him hold military power and become a general respected by the emperor. Later, he was even made a marquis.

Gu Zhiyin's wife became a prominent marquis' wife thanks to her husband's status.

However, within a few years, she died of poisoning.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back to the age of sixteen, on her wedding day.

Gu Zhiyin was happy, but also a little helpless. If it had been ten days or half a month earlier, she might have been able to cancel the engagement. However, even if the Pingyang Palace was a hellhole, it was better than the Shen family's den of wolves.

The old princess is kind and Prince Pingyang values ​​her. Even though she has a stepmother, she is very low-key. After she marries into the family, she will have the power to manage the household in her own hands. This honor is something many people cannot ask for.

Isn’t it just that the prince has a beloved woman?

In this life, she does not seek love. She doesn't care who Fu Yunjing favors. As long as the Fu family recognizes her, she will be the glorious Princess of Ming County.

"Sir, madam!"

Outside the house, people greeted each other.

At this time, Jiang was not in her own daughter's room, but ran to her. Without asking, you can tell that she must have been persuaded by Gu Jinse and now came to persuade her.

"Father, why is Mother here?" Gu Zhiyin looked at the two of them, asking knowingly.

Gu Yanqing felt very uncomfortable under the innocent gaze of his eldest daughter. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Yinyin, although you are not your mother's biological child, she has always treated you as her own. Your sister is even more dependent on you and regards you as the most important. It's just that there is no logic in love. Who would have thought that after you were both engaged, she would fall in love with the Third Master Shen? I originally wanted to make the best of a bad situation, but your sister really couldn't forget her, and dad didn't have the heart to break up the lovers, so I thought of letting you marry to the Pingyang Palace and your sister to the Shen family."

Jiang, who was standing by, smiled awkwardly and took Gu Zhiyin's hand: "Yinyin, you have always been considerate, gentle and caring. You don't want to see your sister suffer for the rest of her life because she can't marry the person she loves. The Prince of Ming is the only son in the family. After you marry him, you will be the Princess of the Prince. This honor is a blessing that many people cannot ask for."

Gu Zhiyin sneered in her heart. This was not what Jiang said in her previous life.

The Pingyang Palace was belittled as worthless, and the Shen family was praised as a flower.

Gu Zhiyin's face was gentle: "It's all up to my father and mother to decide."

She agreed so quickly that Gu Yanqing and Jiang were stunned for a moment.

Then the two looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

Gu Yanqing nodded repeatedly and praised: "Yinyin is indeed sensible. The Gu family will have to rely on you for more support in the future."

However, the next moment, Gu Zhiyin said, "Since we are exchanging marriages, shouldn't the betrothal gifts between the two families also be exchanged?"

"How can that be possible?" Jiang's face froze and she objected subconsciously.
