Shengjing Noble

But all this money was paid by Lu Wanjun.

But not anymore.

"Send this letter to Liu Ruyan. Now it's her turn to handle this mess."

Su Lanyin smiled and opened the letter: "Mother, you should read the letter first."

Lu Wanjun looked puzzled, then took the letter and started reading.

The letter was filled with common words, and she could barely understand it.

The general meaning is that when the old man of the Su family was alive, the family was poor and had received help from neighbors.

Then he promised that if the younger generation had boys or girls of marriageable age, he would marry them to continue the friendship.

The old man had signed it in black and white, and also put his fingerprints on it, specifying that the marriage was with the Su family's eldest daughter. This marriage could not be cancelled no matter what.

If I don't admit it, it would be a violation of Mr. Su's will. Not only would it be a heinous crime, but I would also be accused of being ungrateful by others.

If such a reputation were to spread, Su Yongcheng's precarious official position would probably be completely ruined.

In the previous life, this letter was also sent to this node.

At that time, Su Lanyin's reputation was completely ruined. Not only was she unable to get married, but she was also insulted and stabbed in the back by others.

Liu Ruyan took the opportunity to brainwash her, lying to her that the son of this family was a scholar, knowledgeable and capable, and would definitely pass the imperial examination in the future and make her proud.

Su Lanyin was just feeling hopeless, but hearing this rekindled her hope for the future.

In the end, she really married into this family instead of Su Lanxin according to the marriage contract made by her grandfather.

In her previous life, Su Lanyin was given a chronic poison by Liu Ruyan without knowing it. Not only was her body weak, but she was also unable to get pregnant.

Because Lu Wanjun gave her a generous dowry, the man treated her well at first.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. In less than three months, the man's true nature was revealed.

When he was young, he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. He then became conceited and began to drink and have fun everywhere, not doing his job properly, and forgetting all his knowledge.

Not only that, he was also greedy for sex and gambling. He found all kinds of ways to ask Su Lanyin for money. If she didn't give him money, he would beat her up and leave her covered with bruises.

The man's mother was also a savage and violent person. Not only did she force her to work, she also spread the word that she was a hen that didn't lay eggs and was good-looking but useless.

Later, Lu Wanjun was drowned in a pig cage, and her three brothers also met with accidents one after another, leaving Su Lanyin completely without a supporter.

The man showed his greedy face and tried to take away all her dowry. When she refused to give it to him, he broke her legs.

Because his leg bones were broken and he did not receive timely treatment, he had to amputate both legs to save his life.

She was paralyzed in bed with no one to take care of her, and Cuizhu had long been sold to a brothel by a man.

She didn't know how much time had passed in that daze, when Su Lanxin suddenly brought Liwen to the countryside to visit her.

In the dilapidated woodshed, she lay on a broken bed covered with weeds, looking at her elder sister, who had become the Crown Princess, coming towards her against the light.

Hope burst out in her eyes, thinking that she had finally been saved.

But who knew that Su Lanxin was here to see her off for the last time.

After drinking the bowl of bitter drug, she felt hot as fire. While she was in a daze, a group of dirty beggars squeezed in from outside the door. They were disheveled and emitted a disgusting stench.

Su Lanxin smiled lightly and gave her alms condescendingly: "She is yours now."

After saying that, he left the dirty woodshed with the help of Liwen.

However, Su Lanyin was not insulted by the beggars in the end. When they stripped off her clothes, they saw the maggot-infested wounds on her body and some festering and pus-oozing bedsores.

In addition, she had no legs and no one took care of her feces and urine, so they were all over the place.

Not to mention humans, even animals would probably have no interest in her.

The beggars simply beat her up, threw her on the ground and kicked her.

In the end, like her mother, she was branded as a prostitute and, in front of the entire village, she was put into a pig cage and sunk to the bottom of the river.

……

The past was too hard to recall. Su Lanyin felt her eyes warm up and tears were already streaming down her face.

Lu Wanjun was reading the letter with her head down and didn't notice it.

She wiped it quietly, then smiled and said, "Mother, Fifth Sister is so lucky. She was just worried about her reputation being ruined and she couldn't find a husband, and now there's a ready-made one delivered to her door."

"Really." Lu Wanjun's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "Such a good marriage is more than enough for her."

After saying that, she stood up and said, "I'll go give it to your father."

Looking at her mother's back as she ran out happily, Su Lanyin curled up the corners of her mouth into an evil smile.

Whether it was Su Lanxin and Liu Ruyan, or the scholar and his mother, they all had an irreconcilable hatred for her.

In this life, she will return the pain of her previous life double to each of them!

……

When Su Yongcheng saw the letter, he was so angry that he tore it into pieces.

He roared, "Dream on! A poor scholar from the countryside dreams of marrying my legitimate daughter. Why don't you take a piss and look at your own moral character?"

Lu Wanjun couldn't help but find his expression ridiculous.

Could it be that he had forgotten that he was once a poor scholar from the countryside?

Even poorer and more shabby than this family!

If she hadn't been blind, Su Yongcheng would probably have to farm in the countryside now. Not to mention being a legitimate daughter, it would be a blessing for someone to be willing to marry him.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still had to remain decent on the surface.

So she showed a worried look and said, "Husband, what should we do? This marriage was arranged by my father-in-law. We signed our names and stamped our fingerprints in black and white. If it gets out of hand and you are sued, it will have a huge impact on your career."

Ingratitude, demolition, breaking promises... If any of these offenses were reported to the emperor, he would face the risk of being dismissed from his post.

Su Yongcheng had a sad face and sat down on the chair, looking extremely depressed.

But suddenly, he thought of something and looked up at Lu Wanjun.

"Lanyin! Yes, our Su family has more than one daughter, Lanxin. At worst, we can let Lanyin marry him!"

Hatred flashed in Lu Wanjun's eyes, and her hands were clenched tightly in her sleeves, suppressing her inner anger.

At this moment, my temper has been completely controlled thanks to my daughter's teaching.

She curled her lips and smiled gently: "My husband is right, Yinyin can indeed get married, but the letter says that they want a legitimate daughter, but our Yinyin is a concubine's daughter. If we don't follow the provisions of the marriage certificate and marry the legitimate daughter, I'm afraid the other party will not let it go."

Su Yongcheng rolled his eyes a few times, and then said: "That's fine, after all, you are my first wife, but later I gave up the throne to Ruyan, so Yinyin is essentially the legitimate daughter."

Lu Wanjun smiled somewhat sarcastically: "Husband, didn't you say before that Yinyin, a concubine's daughter, would never be as good as a legitimate daughter? It seems that you have never acknowledged her status as a legitimate daughter."

"This is a different time. The Su family is facing this kind of thing right now. How can you dwell on the little conflicts in the past? Wanjun, you really should learn from Ruyan and consider the overall situation."

"If she hadn't come forward and confessed her guilt before, the Su family would have lost face! She, the daughter of a marquis, can sacrifice herself to this extent for the Su family. Why can't you give more for this family?"

"What's more, he is a scholar. He may become the top scholar in the imperial examination and bring honor to the family! Yinyin is a concubine's daughter, so she is barely worthy of him."
