Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1020

"Let's not talk about taking a concubine."

Watching him leave, Chu Xinyi's heart clenched. "Magpie, would you be willing to take care of my husband and child for me?"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Magpie said, "Madam, don't talk nonsense. You'll be alright. You can stay with the young master and the little master forever."

"I know my own body best." Chu Xinyi had a dream in which she wouldn't live past this year.

Her time is running out.

I only hope that someone can accompany Leng Yan for the rest of his life.

The person who accompanied him through the last days of his life in his dreams was not her, but Pei Fang.

Now, because of her, their marriage has been ruined.

Pei Fang will soon marry Gong Dian.

If she's gone, who will keep him company?

"Madam..." The magpie couldn't understand what she was saying.

Chu Xinyi smiled. "Have you heard of it? When a person is about to die, they see their past. I had a dream last night, in which he and Pei Fang were so loving..."

Pei Fang entered the palace and became a concubine. Just like now, because the emperor had no feelings for her, she eventually died on the battlefield. Originally, she was supposed to be buried with him.

But Leng Yan rescued her. Because he had rendered meritorious service in protecting the new emperor, he wanted nothing but Pei Fang.

And so Pei Fang married him.

They lived happily ever after and had a son and a daughter.

She was Leng Yan's first wife, who died young. She passed away less than a year after giving birth to her son. In the dream, she died because of a difficult childbirth, which damaged her health. She didn't take good care of herself and her health deteriorated day by day.

She is currently suffering from poisoning... and there was no complications during childbirth.

But the outcome is always the same. She won't live past this year.

"Madam..." Magpie was very worried about her.

"It's okay, I know it's all a dream."

Chu Xinyi smiled and didn't bring it up again.

......

Pei Fang was stripped of her title as county princess and cried incessantly upon returning home.

Gong Dian came to comfort her, "Don't cry, it's just a county princess, right? When we get to the Great Wei, I'll buy you a county princess."

purchase?

Pei Fang was stunned. "Can your Great Wei County Princess still buy it?"

"Yes, money makes the world go round. Fang'er, in the end, money and power are the main things in this world. But behind power, there is always the temptation of money. Isn't that what everyone fights for, even to the point of bloodshed? I think in the end, a life with money is more unrestrained and joyful."

"Don't be sad, I will help you get whatever you want."

Pei Fang sniffed. To be honest, she had never felt pampered like this before. In the past, she had been pampered by her parents and brother.

But I always felt that they were only so good to her because of their blood ties and because she was the eldest daughter of the Pei family. I thought that if she married the emperor, it would bring glory to the family.

Leng Yan said he liked her and treated her very well. He had always been there for her since she was a child, but loyalty was still the most important thing to him.

"Gong Dian, I'm asking you. Now you know what I've done. I'm so vicious and ruthless, do you still love me? Do you still want to marry me?"

Gong Dian laughed and said, "I knew that all along, but I don't think you're being malicious. You're pursuing your own happiness, what's wrong with that?"

"Your mistake was meeting the wrong person and being born at the wrong time. You were just a little less lucky than others."

"If others were in your shoes, considering your life and the circumstances you've been through, they might not have done as well as you. They call you vicious, but who have you actually killed? You targeted the princes and the empress; wasn't that your father's idea?"

Pei Fang's face turned deathly pale instantly. She hadn't expected that even she knew about this. It was indeed an eunuch left behind by her father who had instructed her to drug the prince's wet nurse that time.
