Quick Transmigration: Striving Every Day to Overcome Tribulation
Chapter 68 The princess is the one I married, she should be mine.
Kyoto is resplendent in gold, with rows of ornately decorated buildings radiating dazzling light. The streets are wide and clean, lined with shops selling a wide variety of goods, bustling with people.
The bustling scene was truly captivating.
Students dedicate their lives to studying, all in the hope of achieving success and fame one day!
At this moment, the largest courtyard in a house on West Street in the capital city appears exceptionally quiet.
Inside the room, Su Su stood quietly to one side, her head bowed, her expression full of worry. Meanwhile, the cries of an old woman and a young woman rose and fell, each one heart-wrenching and moving.
Beside their bed lay a man, none other than Su Su's elder brother, Su Lingyun.
Su Lingyun's eyes were bloodshot, and she kept pounding her legs with her hands, looking both pained and desperate.
"Husband, how could you be so miserable? Waaah!" The young woman, Lin San Niang, was in tears, her voice trembling.
Her face was filled with heartache and helplessness. Seeing her husband suffer such hardship, her heart felt as if it were being gnawed at by a million ants.
"What should we do? He finally passed the imperial examination and got an official position. He was supposed to marry a princess, but now he's ended up like this. Waaah!" The older woman, Madam Su, who was also Su Lingyun's mother, was also sobbing uncontrollably.
She cried as she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, her face filled with grief and regret.
Su Lingyun was getting impatient. He suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Enough! Now that my leg is broken, I can't marry a princess or become an official. Ten years of hard study have all been wasted!" His voice was full of anger and resentment, and his resentment seemed to envelop the entire room.
Su Lingyun's resentful eyes slowly swept over the three people in the room, his gaze lingering particularly on his wife, Lin San Niang, for a long time.
"Was it really you? I wanted to marry the princess, I made you my concubine, and you resent me for doing this!" His tone was full of suspicion and accusation.
"No, my husband. How could you think of me like that?" Lin San Niang quickly explained, her face full of grievance and sadness. Her eyes were red, and tears kept rolling down her cheeks.
But her mother-in-law, Madam Su, completely ignored her pain and reached out to twist the tender flesh around her waist.
Lin San Niang cried out in pain and begged for mercy, but Su Shi just sullenly said, "You little bitch, don't let me find out it really is you, or I won't let you get away with this."
His fierce appearance sent chills down the spines of anyone who saw him.
Su Lingyun's gaze slowly settled on Su Su, his eyes filled with complex emotions as he carefully examined her from head to toe.
"Mother, Mother, Mother. Quickly look and see how much my sister resembles me?" Su Lingyun's voice carried a hint of eeriness and anticipation.
"Oh dear! You two are twins, so naturally you look extremely alike. You're at least eight out of ten similarities." The mother sighed softly, her voice full of emotion. "It's just a pity for your sister. I was hoping that if you became the top scholar and married a princess, you could find a good husband for your sister too, but I never expected... Waaah."
At this point, the mother couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with grief and burst into tears.
Su Lingyun's brows furrowed tightly. "Mother, don't cry. Let me talk to you about this. You all need to leave!"
Su Su was ready to go out, but Lin San Niang stood there hesitant, her face full of confusion and unease.
At this moment, Madam Su coldly and harshly ordered Su Su to drag Lin San Niang out.
She absolutely could not let Lin San Niang stop her plan at this moment. She still wanted to become the top scholar in place of her so-called good brother and marry the princess in a grand and glorious manner.
In this small world, the male protagonist, Su Lingyun, also happens to break his leg at this time. However, the injury is still manageable, and with proper care, he will recover in two or three years.
Su Lingyun had always longed to marry the fifth princess of the palace, Jin Fengyue.
Although this fifth princess had no mother since birth and the emperor did not pay much attention to her, she was very lucky. She was raised by the Empress Dowager and thus gained some of the Empress Dowager's favor.
The current emperor places great importance on filial piety and shows the Empress Dowager the utmost respect. Therefore, becoming the Fifth Princess's consort would surely earn him the emperor's favor.
That is why, when the emperor subtly mentioned the Fifth Princess, Su Lingyun did not hesitate to conceal the fact that he already had a wife, and was determined to marry the Fifth Princess.
Moreover, Lin San Niang was originally their family's child bride, and in Su Lingyun's view, her existence could not hinder his path to success.
As long as the family doesn't tell anyone, no one will know this secret.
So Su Lingyun came up with a plan to have Su Su impersonate him and marry Jin Fengyue.
However, when it came time to consummate the marriage, he naturally took the lead himself.
In their daily interactions, the original owner always interacted with Jin Fengyue under the identity of Su Lingyun.
Originally, the servants in the princess's residence were managed by Jin Fengyue, but the original owner listened to Su Lingyun's words and tricked the fifth princess, Jin Fengyue, into handing over the management of the household to Su Shi.
Su Lingyun, meanwhile, hid in the back, enjoying the good food and drink provided for her, and happily recovered from her injury. Her foot injury healed quickly.
After completing the mission, the original owner was ruthlessly persuaded to leave the scene by Su Lingyun.
The original owner and Jin Fengyue got along very well, like sisters. Jin Fengyue was not arrogant and domineering like other princesses, but gentle.
Although the original owner was reluctant, she thought that the Fifth Princess was now her sister-in-law and they could interact with her regularly, so she switched back her identity with Su Lingyun.
However, the moment the identity was switched back, the original owner was locked in a dark room.
Su Lingyun ruined his reputation by impersonating his sister. If she were to marry, people would have leverage over her, bringing shame to the Su family. This made the original owner wish he were dead.
Every day, Lin San Niang would bring him a bowl of thin rice porridge to keep him alive, and the original owner had no way to escape.
The original owner begged her former sister-in-law, who was also her childhood playmate, Jin Fengyue, to let her go or at least give her a full meal.
Lin San Niang simply shook her head, saying only, "My husband has his reasons for doing this. As a wife, I should obey my husband."
Su Su's heart sank when she heard this.
Su Lingyun initially wanted to sell Lin Sanniang to prevent her from hindering his future as a princess. It was only after Su Su pleaded that Lin Sanniang was finally demoted from wife to concubine.
Su Su wanted to argue that Su Lingyun should give Lin San Niang a status as a distant relative, since she was no longer her sister-in-law but could still be a relative, and there was no need for her to be a concubine who could be bought and sold at will.
But that's exactly what Lin San Niang said back then.
