Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 26: The Cousin of the Prince in the House Fighting Novel (4)

In the evening, when Anguogong He Tongguang got off duty, Old Lady He did not allow separate tables for men and women, but only asked for a large round table to be set up, and the family sat together to have a reunion dinner. After the banquet, they gathered in the house to talk for a while, and then everyone left.

Lin Xi brought her maid Xue Yun back to her own courtyard with a lantern. The maids helped her wash up, and she lay on the bed to receive the plot.

"As the younger sister of Concubine Cen, Cen Yan was spoiled from childhood. Her parents, brothers and sisters found everything she wanted. She thought she would live a smooth and carefree life until she met Cui Xu at the Spring Banquet when she was fifteen years old."

"'The man on the street is like jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world'. The moment she saw Cui Xu under the flower tree, Cen Yan finally understood what it meant to be a gentleman who was as bright as a jade and as polished as a jade. She fell in love with Cui Xu at first sight, and in order to pursue him, she was willing to throw away her face and pester him relentlessly.

"However, Cui Xu was always indifferent to her. Even though he finally married her under pressure from Concubine Cen, the two of them always treated each other with respect after marriage.

"Cen Yan thought that this was how her life would be. She no longer desired Cui Xu's love and just wanted to raise their child. However, she never expected that one day, there would be a palace coup, and Cui Xu would join forces with Prince Cheng to seize power. Not only did he wipe out her entire Cen family, he also threw their child, who was less than one year old, to death in front of her.

"Mei'er and I are in love with each other, but you relied on the power of the imperial concubine to force me to be with you. Every moment I was pretending to be with you over the years, I felt extremely disgusted. Now that your entire Cen family has been executed, there is no need to keep this evil offspring."

Cen Yan knelt on the ground, listening to the words that her former lover said to her, which made her feel heartbroken. Her concubine sister leaned tenderly in her husband's arms, while the maid beside her lifted her child up high and threw her to the ground.

Her eyes were bloodshot and she rushed over like a madman, picked up the lifeless child, sobbed and cried, and finally slammed into the stone pillar and died.

However, Cen Yan did not expect that when she opened her eyes again, she was reborn back to the day before the Spring Festival when she was fifteen years old. In her new life, she was determined to kill the scumbag and the bitch by any means necessary to protect her family. "

"You have already met the second male lead this time. He Lanting was born in a noble family. He has been a gentleman since he was a child. At the Spring Banquet, the reborn heroine was ridiculed by other ladies. He rescued her out of kindness and was later attracted to the heroine and gradually fell in love with her.

But the heroine had someone she loved, and after getting her revenge, she got together with General Huan Chen, who had always liked her. Helan Ting was unable to get the love she wanted, so he could only indulge in the mountains and rivers, write books, and eventually die of old age in the mountains. "

After watching the story of the hero and heroine, Lin Xi couldn't help but complain to the system, "A young lady from an aristocratic family, who risked her life for a man in her previous life and killed her entire family, can she suddenly become smart after living a new life? It's not like she just changed her brain."

"Host, don't worry about these details. Anyway, she and we have no conflict of interest. We are going for the second male lead." The system felt a little guilty and quickly changed the subject. "Host, given your identity this time, it will be difficult for you to capture the second male lead."

Lin Xi, however, looked calm and unconcerned. "It's challenging only when it's difficult. I'm tired of playing the role of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman. This time, it's a good opportunity to change my tactics."

That's right, although the identity assigned to her by the system this time is still the cousin of the second male lead, this cousin is already married. As for why a married cousin would appear in the Duke's Mansion, the story has to start from half a year ago.

The original body's mother, Xie Jingshu, was the half-sister of Lady Xie Lingyi, the wife of Duke Anguo. Although the two were not born from the same mother, Xie Jingshu's aunt died early, and the little Xie Jingshu could be said to have been basically raised by Xie Lingyi, so the two sisters naturally had a very close relationship.

Unlike Xie Lingyi, who is smart and capable, and always wants to be strong in everything, Xie Jingshu has been quiet and elegant since childhood, and does not fight or compete. Their personalities are very different, and the marriages of the two sisters after they came of age are also completely opposite.

Xie Lingyi married the Marquis of Anding, who had unlimited potential, but Xie Jingshu fell in love with Lin Huaian, the son of a fourth-rank civil servant who was honest, dull and humble.

Although Lin Huaian did not enter the official career, he was an expert in calligraphy and painting and was well-known for his talent. He and Xie Jingshu were considered a good match. The couple had similar personalities and lived in harmony after marriage. Within a year, they gave birth to a daughter, Lin Xi.

Lin Xi had been quick-witted since childhood. When she was young, she was known to have written beautiful poems about snow. Her appearance also combined the best of both Xie and Lin. By the time she was fifteen years old and came of age, she had already become a beautiful lady.

Seeing their daughter's appearance, the couple knew that if she married into an ordinary family, her husband's family would not be able to protect her. So they worked hard to plan for her, gave her a generous dowry, and arranged a marriage with Wang Zhuo, the seventh son of Wang Xi of Langya Wang family.

Although Wang Zhuo was not as talented as his father Wang Xi and his brothers, he was also good at calligraphy and had a handsome appearance, which made him a perfect match for Lin Xi. Soon after their marriage, Wang Zhuo was appointed governor of Kuaiji County and given the title of Right General, so he took Lin Xi with him to take up the post.

However, the two people who were thought to be a match made in heaven became increasingly incompatible after marriage. It turned out that although Wang Zhuo was in his prime, he had become fascinated with ghosts and gods at an early age. He ignored mundane affairs all day long and devoted himself to burning incense and worshiping gods.

Last year, rebels in Kuaiji were rioting, burning, killing and looting, and were about to attack the city gates. Officials asked Wang Zhuo to send troops, but he did not care. Instead, he said to his subordinates: "I have prayed to God. God sees my piety and has sent tens of thousands of ghost soldiers to guard the various pass fortresses. I will make sure that the rebels will not return."

Because of his inaction, the rebels advanced straight in and were about to break into the city. Lin Xi, as the wife of the county magistrate, saw what her husband had done and first sent people to seek reinforcements. When the rebels were at the gates of the city, she resolutely put on armor and went into battle, killing several enemy soldiers with her own hands. Just when she was exhausted, reinforcements finally arrived and captured the rebels. When everyone carried the bloody Lin Xi back to the county magistrate's mansion, they found that Wang Zhuo was still kneeling in front of the statue with his eyes closed and muttering to himself.

When the news reached Jiankang, it caused an uproar. Lady Xie Lingyi of the Duke of Anguo was so angry that she smashed the cup and shouted angrily: "In the world of heaven, there is Wang Lang!" Also, not long after Lin Xi got married three years ago, her parents had an accident while traveling and both died. Therefore, as Lin Xi's only relative in the world, Xie took the initiative to send a team of people to Kuaiji, forcing Wang Zhuo to sign the divorce agreement, take Lin Xi back, and place her in the Duke's Mansion.

When Lin Xi traveled through time, the original owner had just been taken to the Duke's Mansion. After receiving the original owner's memories, even though she was a modern person who came from thousands of years later and had read countless novels with heroines in mind, she couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for the original owner.

She is talented in writing poems about snowflakes and capable of killing bandits in martial arts. Who says there were no shining women in ancient times?
