After being reborn, I went on a killing spree in the imperial court.

On the day of the wedding.

The Xue residence was brightly decorated, filled with a festive atmosphere. However, despite the large number of guests and the lively atmosphere, it still lacked the grandeur of Cao Yuan's wedding day.

When Cao Yuan got married, the scene was extremely luxurious, with the magnificent decorations making it seem like one was in a royal palace. While the Xue residence is also beautifully decorated now, it lacks a certain grandeur.

Cao Shang stepped down from the bridal sedan chair and walked into the Xue residence step by step. She was overjoyed. Cao Yuan was dead, and she had finally achieved her wish to live happily ever after with her Xue Lang.

Little did they know that these were all just part of Cao Ji's plan.

People in the crowd were discussing it at the entrance.

"The Xue family is truly blessed to have married two princesses!"

"Although she married two princesses, how can this Princess Huafeng be compared to Princess Huayang! She was the first princess of our Great Wei to have military merits!"

"Princess Huayang has only been dead for a short time, and he's already getting married!"

"What a pity that Princess Huayang died for her country and ended up like this!"

Cao Shang and Xue Xinian tied the red silk ribbon together to perform the wedding ceremony. Xue Xinian's face was devoid of any smile or joy.

The couple has just finished their mutual prayers.

"I haven't been back for so long, why is the Xue residence so lively!"

Upon hearing the sound, a fleeting joy flashed in Xue Xinian's eyes.

Cao Yuan, dressed in a red battle robe with a wide black belt around her waist, exuded a heroic and dashing air.

Upon hearing the voice, Cao Shang lifted her veil, exclaiming, "You, how come you're still alive!"

Xue Xinian stood there, stunned, as if he had seen a ghost. He rubbed his eyes, thinking it was all just a dream, but it turned out to be real. His joy, radiating from within, was evident on his face.

“Ah, Ah Yuan, you’re not dead! I knew you wouldn’t die so easily!” Xue Xinian walked up to Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan rolled her eyes at him. Was he pretending to be affectionate again?

She won't eat this.

Cao Yuan strode into the inner hall and shoved Xue Xinian, who was blocking her way.

"If I die, you can live happily ever after? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"Cao Yuan, Xue Lang and I are getting married by imperial decree! Are you here to cause trouble again?!"

Cao Yuan sat down next to Madam Xue. "Today is the day our Xue family takes a concubine. As the legal wife of the Xue family, I should be here."

"Who are you calling a concubine! Let me tell you, our marriage was arranged by the Emperor! What right do you have to call me a concubine?" Cao Shang was furious and completely disregarded all decorum, behaving no differently from a shrew on the street. In the past, she had always paid the most attention to her demeanor.

"Just because I'm still alive, I'm not only your elder sister, but also the legal wife of the Xue family."

"Somebody come!"

Jinzhu brought in a tray covered with a red cloth.

Everyone was curious about what it was.

Cao Yuan lifted the red cloth, "Since you are a concubine, you should know the rules. Concubines cannot wear red when they get married; they should wear pink. This was specially prepared for you!"

"Jinzhu, aren't you going to help the imperial sister change her clothes!"

"Cao Yuan, how dare you humiliate me like this! I'm going to tell my father."

Cao Yuan smiled, no longer afraid at all. "Royal sister, I just returned from Chen Kingdom. Do you think Father Emperor cares more about you or me?"

“Ah Yuan, we’re all family. I know you’re still angry with me, and this will only make things worse for both of you,” Xue Xinian comforted her.

"Xue Xinian, you dared to take a concubine behind my back, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet."

Madam Xue held her head, thinking, "With two princesses in the household, I can forget about having any peace and quiet from now on."

"Everyone, tell me, isn't that right!" Cao Yuan shouted.

"Yes, Princess Huayang entered the family earlier than Princess Huafeng, so she has to wear pink."

"Princess Huayang escaped by sheer luck, and she must be furious that her husband turned out to be her own sister!"

"Have you all said enough?! Shut up!"

Everyone sided with Cao Yuan, which made Cao Shang even angrier.

Seeing this, Madam Xue quickly went to Cao Shang and whispered, "Princess Huafeng, be careful not to upset yourself. There are so many people here, let's hold back and talk about it after the guests have left!"

"If people find out, it will damage your reputation, Princess."

Cao Yuan's brow furrowed slightly. Hmm?

Could she be pregnant?

Seeing how Madam Xue treated Cao Shang, Cao Yuan seemed to understand why her father, the Emperor, had so hastily issued the decree for the marriage.

Cao Shang was even angrier when she heard this, because her child did not exist at all. She was suppressing her anger, especially in front of Cao Yuan, and she could not bear it.

"Someone, help the princess take off her wedding dress!"

Several maids entered and rolled up their sleeves, ready to strip Cao Shang of his clothes.

"How dare you! I am a princess, Cao Yuan, I will kill you."

"Strip him!"

Xue Xinian tried to step forward but was stopped by Jinzhu. "Your Highness, the affairs of the manor are handled by His Highness. Do you have any objections?"

Soon, they helped Cao Shang change into her pink wedding dress.

Cao Shang knelt on the ground, glaring at her resentfully.

"Your Highness, it's perfect that you're kneeling! Guards! Serve the princess some tea!"

"What do you mean!"

"Isn't it normal for you, as a concubine, to serve me tea?"

The maid Anping brought over a cup of tea and said with concern, "Princess! Please bear with it!"

"Your Majesty, please have some tea." Cao Shang knelt down and offered the tea to Cao Shang, his back teeth practically grinding to powder.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Cao Yuan took a sip of tea.

"Since you've served me tea, we're now family. So I should give you a wedding gift in return!"

Cao Shang knew she had ill intentions and refused directly, "I don't want your things! Who knows what you're up to."

Several maids brought it up.

On the tray were several pieces of valuable jewelry.

"Ah Yuan, wasn't this a gift from Father Emperor when we got married? Are you going to give it to Princess Shang... Hua Feng?"

Xue Xinian dared not call Cao Yuan too intimately.

"Xi Nian has a good eye. This is the very place you bestowed upon me when we got married."

“I noticed that my younger sister’s dowry outside is pitifully small, so I’m using my own dowry to help you out. How could a royal wedding be held in such a rushed manner?”

The crowd started talking again.

"Yes! Royal weddings usually take at least six months to prepare, how come this wedding was held in just one month?"

"I'm afraid they can't wait any longer."

"Is it true that Princess Huafeng had an affair with her brother-in-law?!"

"They might even get her pregnant."

"What nonsense are you spouting! If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, believe me, I'll tear your mouths apart!" Cao Shang shouted excitedly, her voice echoing in the air, full of anger and threat.

Her intense reaction seemed to inadvertently reveal her inner unease and anxiety, further convincing those around her that the rumors were true.

Cao Shang's eyes widened, fixed intently on Cao Yuan in front of him.

Her gaze was like a blazing flame, piercing straight through the air and mercilessly burning Cao Yuan's body.

"Cao Yuan, you just wait."
