After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

When Ye Qingwu regained consciousness, she saw a woman dressed in a bright red wedding dress rushing in.

"Mother! I want a marriage exchange!"

The woman's face changed upon hearing this. "Absurd! Today is the day you and Qingwu are getting married. The wedding procession is about to arrive. How can you change it just like that!"

"Besides, the Regent holds a high position and great power. If you marry him, you will not only become a princess, but you will also enjoy countless riches and honors. As for Jiang Wenjin, although he has a good talent for studying, he was born into poverty and has only passed the civil service exam so far. Whether he can become the top scholar and become famous in one fell swoop is still unknown."

"Qingzhu, please don't do anything foolish."

Su held Ye Qingzhu's hand and spoke earnestly.

She went to great lengths to make this marriage happen, for example, by having two old women hold Ye Qingwu down.

If this girl has any objections again, she will be knocked unconscious and sent into the bridal sedan chair. This brat will not be allowed to refuse in the slightest!

Ye Qingwu lay on the ground, listening to the conversation between the two, feeling as if a flood of information rushed into her mind.

Exchange marriage?

Is the Regent still Jiang Wenjin?

These words sound so similar to a book she'd read called "Life Swap".

and many more!

Ye Qingwu was shocked to see herself wearing the same wedding dress as Ye Qingzhu. She had transmigrated into a book!

The book tells the story of the original owner, who was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family. Her birth mother passed away when she was born, and not long after, her father married Su, who gave birth to her half-sister Ye Qingzhu less than a year later.

At first, the original owner genuinely believed that Madam Su was truly kind to her, but she never expected that on her wedding day, Madam Su, in order to ensure that her daughter would have a better life, would knock the original owner unconscious and send her to the Jiang Wenjin family's bridal sedan chair, while her half-sister would take her place as the regent's wife.

After regaining her senses, the original owner realized that the die was cast and supported Jiang Wenjin all the way, helping him rise from the top scholar in the imperial examination to the Grand Secretary. The original owner also became a Lady of Imperial Decree, while Ye Qingzhu, the princess, became a widow after less than seven days and was captured and forced to be buried alive with him.

But what's going on now? Why would Ye Qingzhu suddenly propose a marriage exchange? Could it be that she, like me, knows the plot?

Just as she was wondering what was going on, Ye Qingzhu suddenly became agitated. "Mother, I'm not being silly. I had a dream that in my past life I married the Regent, but who would have thought that the Regent was short-lived? He seemed to be living a life of great glory, but in reality he was just a nobody. I don't want to be buried with him!"

"What past lives and present lives? Qingzhu, I think you're confused."

Ye Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It seemed that Ye Qingzhu had not transmigrated into the book, but had been reborn. Although she did not know why this situation had occurred.

In her past life, she was a renowned healer who dominated both realms. With just a single silver needle, she could revive the dead and heal the wounded. No matter how difficult the illness, it was nothing to her.

Ye Qingzhu was buried alive just a few days after marrying into the family, so she naturally didn't know that Jiang Wenjin, as described in the book, was extremely ambitious, both self-deprecating and arrogant. If the original owner hadn't sought education for him and invited a reclusive tutor to teach him, how could he have achieved such high honors?

Since she's going to be transported into the book and her half-sister wants a marriage exchange, then let's grant her wish!

Madam Su was stunned by Ye Qingzhu's words. Just then, a maid's voice came from outside, "Madam, the wedding procession from the Prince's Mansion and the Liu family has arrived."

"Mother! If you don't agree, I'll kill myself right here!" Ye Qingzhu said fiercely, pointing to a pillar not far away.

Madam Su looked troubled, yet she was genuinely afraid of the truth her daughter was telling her. Indeed, there had been rumors over the years that the Regent had been in poor health since returning from the battlefield a year ago.

She took Ye Qingzhu's hand and said gently, "Qingzhu, you are my only daughter."

"This is as you wish."

A smile appeared on Ye Qingzhu's face, but when she looked up, she saw Ye Qingwu looking at her, her tone revealing undisguised smugness.

"Sister, this marriage contract was originally yours. I am not fortunate enough to enjoy it, so I will return it to you."

Once she marries Jiang Wenjin and becomes a first-rank imperial consort, she will be incredibly glamorous.

Ye Qingwu coldly looked at Ye Qingzhu's smug face and sneered, "You can change the engagement just like that? Did I agree to it?"

"what?"

Ye Qingzhu's expression changed, but she didn't expect that her elder sister, who was usually too taciturn to speak, would actually refuse.

"mother!"

Madam Su understood immediately. She came to Ye Qingwu and said with a smile, "Qingwu, I've thought it over. The marriage with the Regent was yours from the beginning, and now it's like returning it to its rightful owner."

"is it?"

"But I remember you didn't say that to Father a few days ago. Why did you suddenly change your mind? Otherwise, would I have gone to say 'Father' first?"

"Ye Qingwu!"

"Don't be so ungrateful!"

Ye Qingzhu gritted her teeth and raised her hand to strike her.

Ye Qingwu grabbed the woman's wrist. Seeing the old women trying to approach, she tightened her grip, and the sound of bones grinding could be faintly heard. She said slowly, "If you dare to come any closer, my dear sister's hand will be ruined!"

"Ouch...it hurts..."

Madam Su was anxious. The appointed time was fast approaching, and she couldn't bear the responsibility for the guests outside.

"Qingwu, let's talk this out. As long as you agree to switch the marriage, I'll give you whatever you want."

"Alright! Then return all twenty dowry items that originally belonged to me."

The dowry originally belonged to the original owner, but it was all added to Ye Qingzhu's dowry by Madam Su, leaving the original owner with only a few boxes of indecent fabrics.

"Mother, you must think carefully, the time is almost here!"

Ye Qingzhu was in so much pain that she almost fainted. Seeing that Su was still hesitating, she shouted, "Give it to her, Mother, give it all to her!"

"I don't care!"

Looking at the suffering Ye Qingzhu, and knowing that time was of the essence, if what Qingzhu said were true, Ye Qingwu, that wretched girl, wouldn't have many good days after marrying into the family.

"Okay! I promise you!"

Ye Qingwu then turned to Ye Qingzhu, who wiped her hands with a handkerchief in disgust, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Mother."

Just now, when she was pulling Ye Qingzhu, she was surprised to find that her personal space had also come along.

In this way, even if that prince were to contract some incurable disease, she could find a way to continue the lineage!

"Hmph! Ye Qingwu, don't be so smug. You'll see what kind of place it is once you get to the Regent's Palace!"

Ye Qingzhu gripped her aching hand, her face filled with malice.

Those twenty dowry items will eventually end up with Ye Qingwu once she's buried with her!

"I really don't know what the Regent's Palace is, but my sister's good days are yet to come."

Ye Qingzhu rolled her eyes at Ye Qingwu, "Do you need to tell me!"

After bidding farewell to their parents, the two boarded sedan chairs belonging to the Regent's Palace and the Jiang family, respectively.

"Oh oh oh."

Upon arriving at the Prince's residence, Ye Qingwu saw a steward holding an old hen.

The surrounding guests and servants watched all this quietly, none of them waiting to see a joke.

“Miss Ye, His Highness is unwell and unable to get up, so he asked me to use this rooster in his place.”

No wonder Ye Qingzhu acted so desperately in front of the Su family; there was even this stunt.
