They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Lin Hanlin was a weak scholar after all, and he was defeated by his wife's outburst. He angrily cursed "unreasonable" and then left in anger.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly asked someone to come in and help Lin Shuyan back to the room, and then asked someone to call a doctor.

Lin Shuyan suffered new injuries and old injuries and lay in bed unable to move.

Mrs. Lin couldn't help crying when she saw her son like this.

"If you really don't like the Wei family's daughter and want to cancel the engagement, can't you just talk to me and your father nicely? No matter how stubborn your father is, he will listen if you talk to him nicely. Why are you going to cancel the engagement on your own?"

After this incident, both families were embarrassed, but the Wei family had a high family background, so it was not difficult for them to find another marriage. On the contrary, Lin Shuyan had a ruined reputation, so it would not be easy for him to marry another wife from a high-class family.

The Lin family is said to be a family of scholars, but Lin's father is neither high nor low, and has only a name for himself, but in fact he has neither power nor influence, and his family is not very rich.

Lin Shuyan became famous at a young age. He passed the imperial examination and was awarded an official position at an early age, which caught the attention of those noble families.

After such a commotion, which daughter of a rich family would dare to marry into a wealthy family in the future?

Mrs. Lin was sad and worried, and she continued speaking while wiping her tears.

"Mother knows that you can't let go of Jiang's niece, but she is now the concubine of Prince Jing. You have to let her go no matter how difficult it is! If a man like Prince Jing knew that you were thinking about his people, our whole family would be in trouble."

Lin Shuyan moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Mrs. Lin was tired after crying, so she stood up and left with the help of her maids and old women.

Soon, Lin Shuyan was the only one left in the room.

He looked up at the ceiling of the tent, lost in thought.

The dream I had a few days ago kept appearing in my mind.

He dreamed that after something happened to the Jiang family, he persuaded his parents to bring Jiang Wanyue into the house, but due to time constraints, he could only let her stay in the Lin family as a concubine.

Later, his family arranged a marriage for him, and he could not refuse, so he married Wei. Wei was unruly and jealous, and she disliked Jiang Wanyue and often targeted her. She was the principal wife, and she wanted to discipline the concubines, and no one could stop her.

Seeing that Jiang Wanyue suffered a lot at the hands of Wei, Lin Shuyan had no choice but to ignore her in order to appease Wei's jealousy.

He thought he could have the best of both worlds this way, but he was too naive.

Lin Shuyan had known for a long time that the Jiang family had been wiped out, but he was worried that Jiang Wanyue would not be able to accept it, so he kept it a secret from her.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, Prince Qi's followers were purged. The Wei family escaped the disaster, but the Lin family was not so lucky.

Lin's father was demoted, and Lin Shuyan had to run around to make arrangements, and he did not return home for several days.

After finally finishing the matters outside and returning to the mansion, he saw Jiang Wanyue's cold body.

Wei came to persuade her hypocritically, saying that Jiang Wanyue knew about the extermination of the Jiang family, and was so upset that she suddenly fell ill and died.

Lin Shuyan regretted deeply and cried bitterly.

He knew that Wei was lying, but at that time Wei's sister entered the palace and was named Concubine Chen. The Wei family was extremely powerful, and he could not do anything to Wei, so he had to endure it.

After burying Jiang Wanyue, Lin Shuyan took advantage of the Wei family's power to climb up step by step and occupied an important position in the court.

In the dispute between the Concubine Chen and the Queen, he supported the Queen and the Crown Prince, and his relationship with the Wei family broke down.

Eventually, the prince ascended the throne, the concubine and the prince died, the Wei family was also implicated, and the entire clan was almost wiped out.

Wei couldn't bear the blow and hanged himself.

At that time, Lin Shuyan thought, I have avenged Wan'er.

But he couldn't feel any joy in his heart.

The prince was cowardly and was not a qualified monarch. After that, the court was corrupt and chaotic, with constant fighting. Lin Shuyan could not stand it and resigned early, going to the cemetery to accompany Jiang Wanyue to die.

The scenes in the dream are so real.

So much so that when Lin Shuyan woke up, he couldn't tell whether he was in reality or a dream for a moment, and he was in a daze for several days.

It was not until the day he went to the King of Qi's hot spring villa and saw Jiang Wanyue again that he was shocked.

The regret in the dream finally gives me a chance to change.

After returning from the hot spring villa, Lin Shuyan was sick for several days. Finally, he made a decision and took the initiative to serve Prince Jing.

In the dream, Prince Jing was able to defeat Prince Qi and ascend the throne under such unfavorable circumstances. It must be the same in reality.

If the Jiang family could be rescued and brought back to Beijing as soon as possible, perhaps the tragic situation of the Jiang family being wiped out could be changed.

Jiang Wanyue would not have died so early.

Lin Shuyan couldn't understand why he had such a dream.

Perhaps it was because he could not accept that Jiang Wanyue rejected him in reality, so he fantasized about her becoming his woman.

But if it was really as in the dream, neither he, Jiang Wanyue, nor Wei would escape a tragic ending.

In his dreams, he thought countless times how great it would be if none of this had ever happened.

After waking up, I realized that everything in the dream had never happened.

He thought, perhaps this was a warning from God to him, telling him not to dwell on the past and not to be cowardly and muddleheaded anymore.

So, Lin Shuyan made up his mind and went to the Wei family to break off the engagement.

What happens after this?

He wasn't sure.

Now, his only remaining thought was to see Jiang Wanyue again and apologize to her.

Lin Shuyan just lay there quietly, and no one knew when he fell asleep.

In the middle of the night he developed a high fever, fell into a coma, and kept mumbling incoherently.

Mrs. Lin took care of her son personally, and she felt very sad when she heard her son calling Jiang Wanyue's name from time to time.

What a sin this is!

Jiang Wanyue, who was in the palace, naturally didn't know all this.

After she gave some instructions to Cao's wife, she gave her some gifts and asked Xiuchun to send the person away.

Whether the Lin family and the Wei family cancel the engagement or not, it has little to do with her.

Prince Jing holds the upper hand, and a small Lin family will not affect the overall situation.

On the contrary, it was the Wei family that concerned her more.

Given the extent to which Prince Jing doted on Wei Fuxue in the previous life, once Prince Jing ascended the throne, the status of the Wei family would inevitably rise.

Others might be wary, but in Jiang Wanyue's opinion, this is an excellent opportunity.

The Lu family will definitely not tolerate the Wei family's rise in power. When the time comes and the two families start to fight, it will be the time for her Jiang family to benefit.

There are still more than two years before the emperor's death. Time waits for no one, so we must plan and prepare early.

And it is difficult for her to accomplish these things outside by herself.

Now Jiang Wanyue can only wait patiently for her family to return to Beijing.

Just like that, with all kinds of thoughts in my mind, New Year's Eve passed and New Year's Day arrived.

Early in the morning before dawn that day, Prince Jing brought the princess into the palace.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor would lead members of the royal family and hundreds of officials in worshipping heaven and earth and the ancestral temple. This would be followed by the worship of hundreds of officials and vassal states, and then there would be a palace banquet. In short, it would be a busy day.

During the Chinese New Year, it was the concubines like Jiang Wanyue who had the most relaxed time.

There is no need to visit relatives and friends, worship ancestors, prepare holiday gifts, or entertain relatives and friends.

This kind of excitement will continue until the seventh day of the first lunar month.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the annual holiday ended. At the first grand court meeting of the new year, the emperor issued an imperial decree of amnesty.

The Jiang family is on the amnesty list!

When the news came back, Jiang Wanyue was very excited.

Finally I get to see my family.
