She glanced around; it was quiet, and it seemed no one was coming.

Ji Qingyou closed her eyes again.

This time, she transmigrates into the body of Lian Qingyou, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhao's mansion.

She was the legitimate daughter, with an older brother. Although her father had two concubines, who also had two daughters.

But no matter what, it can't overcome her status.

Lian Qingyou is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family, a family with generations of meritorious service.

Lian Qingyou's grandfather, Lian Po, was a brave and talented commander. He was the one who pacified Beichuan decades ago when it was ravaged by invaders.

Although the country is now at peace, Lian Po is still very famous and respected both in and out of the government.

As the tide rises, so does the status of the Duke of Zhao's mansion, which is also highly respected.

After the pacification of Beichuan, there were no more battles. After returning to the capital, Lian Po handed over all military power to the emperor, who was very satisfied and gave the Lian Po family many benefits.

From then on, the Duke of Zhao's mansion enjoyed unparalleled prestige in the capital.

Lian Qingyou's father and brother are both doing very well.

My grandfather, father, and brothers were all so good, so Qingyou should be very good too.

Lian Qingyou had a deep crush on someone since she was a child. At a banquet, she secretly went to find him without saying anything.

He was rejected, saying that he had been alone his whole life.

Lian Qingyou felt a surge of embarrassment and annoyance, but due to certain circumstances, they would often encounter each other.

She tried every possible way to escape this situation.

Ever since she bumped into Shen Qianye on the street, looking at the elegant Shen Qianye, she had some thoughts in her mind.

She was so desperate that she wanted to marry Shen Qianye.

No matter how corrupt the Shen family is, her marriage into it is simply a way to fill the void.

But she wouldn't listen and insisted on marrying him, crying and shouting.

Her family disagreed and locked her up. Her half-sister, Lian Biyu, secretly let her out, and that's how she eloped with Shen Qianye.

The two had just escaped the capital when they were captured by the Duke's men.

Things had come to this point, and there was no other way but for the Duke's mansion to have Lian Qingyou marry Shen Qianye.

Speaking of Shen Qianye, his family was a noble family several generations ago.

In families like the Duke of Zhao, this was called hereditary succession. No matter how many times the position was passed down, their status and position would not change, and their power and authority would be passed on.

Even though Qingyou's grandfather has passed away, her father and her brother will inherit this honor.

However, in Shen Qianye's family, the hereditary title began to decline generation after generation.

Shen Qianye's title has been reduced from Duke of Liang to Marquis of Liang, and now it is only Earl of Liang.

Their family's titles kept declining, and they were mediocre in their official careers.

If things continue like this, sooner or later we'll descend to the last level and never be able to reach that height again.

The Shen family's status is naturally incomparable to that of the Lian family.

Lian Qingyou married into the Shen family, and although the Shen family outwardly hated this woman and said they would ignore her, they still did not pay attention to her.

But how could they possibly truly ignore it?

They are willing to do many things so that their daughter can live a stable life in the future.

The first step was to promote Shen Qianye in his official career, and soon he gained a place in the imperial court.
