Brother Wenxuan just apologized to me and even took me home, completely ignoring Lü Yunli.

Upon hearing that Song Wenxuan had brought his daughter back, Minister Lü immediately came to inquire what had happened.

"My dear daughter, how did you end up running into General Song?"

When he learned that Song Wenxuan had seen his second daughter changing clothes, he was furious and said he would send her to the family temple to spend the rest of her life as a Buddhist nun.

"What a misfortune for our family..."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yunling quickly burst into tears, saying that she didn't blame her second sister and that it was all a coincidence.

“Father, don’t be angry. I am willing to share a husband with my sister. Let my sister be a concubine.”

Minister Lü realized that his second daughter had already lost her reputation, and there was no other way but to marry her off to Song Wenxuan.

However, the second daughter's marriage will also solidify the eldest daughter's position, which is a testament to the Lü family's efforts in raising her.

Thus, Lü Yunli's marriage was decided, and ten days later, two sedan chairs from the Minister's Mansion were carried to the General's Mansion.

One entered through the main gate, a formal marriage, while the other entered through the side gate, becoming a concubine.

Everyone sighed that Song Wenxuan was lucky to have two beautiful women in the Minister's mansion, and it was another story of two sisters serving one husband.

On their wedding night, Song Wenxuan naturally slept in the main room, which made Lü Yunling feel even more comfortable; her happiness was just around the corner.

?

Xiao Li regained consciousness and found herself sitting on the wedding bed, surrounded by a festive atmosphere. But why was the wedding dress orange-red?

Could she be a concubine this time?

"System, receive the memories."

Alright!

Lu Yunli was a concubine's daughter. Her aunt died early, and she struggled to make a living under the care of the mistress until she was fourteen. The mistress then arranged a marriage for her with Yan Chongming, a concubine's son from the Prince Rui's mansion.

Although Yan Chongming was not of high social status, he was tall and handsome, and she cherished this marriage. It was better than marrying a grotesque man or becoming a widower's second wife.

The two had been in contact privately and had feelings for each other, waiting only for her to come of age before getting married.

However, when her elder sister was about to get married, she went to choose jewelry with her, and something unexpected happened: Song Wenxuan saw her body.

In the end, she had no choice but to break off her engagement with Prince Rui's mansion and become Song Wenxuan's concubine.

She was disappointed, but she couldn't disobey her parents' wishes, so she could only accept her fate.

She could understand that Song Wenxuan and her elder sister were in love, but it was too much to wait until a month after she entered the General's Mansion to see Song Wenxuan.

She was just gentle by nature and disliked fighting, so she stayed quietly in the backyard.

It was during Song Wenxuan's stay that she was given a bowl of infertility soup by her elder sister early the next morning, and she never had a child of her own in this lifetime.

Not only that, her health was also ruined. She was extremely cold even in summer, let alone winter. She was just a placeholder in the backyard, neither favored nor noticed.

She lived in constant fear under her elder sister's rule until her death.

In her final moments, she saw her elder sister, who was as radiant as a goddess from the heavens.

Looking at her dying self on the bed, her elder sister said many things. She finally understood that her tragic and pitiful life was all thanks to her elder sister.

She clearly had a wonderful marriage prospect, but unfortunately, she missed out on her true love and lived a tragic life.

“Sister, don’t blame me. It’s all because you were so happy in your past life. That happiness belonged to me, and you have to give it all back.”

Lu Yunli closed her eyes unwillingly.

?

Xiao Li sighed. It was no wonder that Lü Yunli was so resentful. Yan Chongming of the Prince Rui's Mansion had only married one wife in his life and had no concubines or maids. The two were a harmonious and happy couple.

Anyone who saw this would say that his wife was blessed. Originally, she and Yan Chongming were kindred spirits, and if she had married him, she would surely have been happy for life.

It was the first day of their marriage, and the original owner sat by the bedside all night, but Song Wenxuan did not come to her room.

She could only weep. The next morning, she went to pay her respects to her elder sister early, but she was not received and was sent back by her.

Her elder sister also sent someone to tell her to stay in the courtyard and not to wander around.

Lu Yunli obediently stayed in the room until a month later, when the two had a falling out, and she finally saw the angry Song Wenxuan.

Xiao Li lifted the veil and said, "Dongmei, fetch some water. I need to wash up."

Dongmei was taken aback, but the general had not yet arrived.

Seeing her mistress yawning, Dongmei chose not to speak, but obediently fetched a basin of water to serve Xiaoli, and only withdrew after washing her face.

This was a major inconvenience in ancient times; people needed help getting water for washing.

Once everyone was out of the house, Xiaoli went into her spatial dimension, washed up properly, dried her hair, and then went out to sleep.

She slept soundly until dawn, and sure enough, Lü Yunling sent someone to tell her to stay in the courtyard and not to go to pay her respects.

Xiao Li was happy with her leisure time. She brewed wine and tea in the small courtyard, doing nothing all day but eating and playing, living a carefree life.

A month later, Song Wenxuan arrived. He had gone to the brothel the day before and was met with a jealous and disapproving look from Lü Yunling.

He suddenly remembered that he had a concubine.

And so he came.

Xiao Li administered a sleeping pill, and Song Wenxuan fell asleep. Xiao Li then threw him onto the small couch and lay down on the bed herself.

The original owner didn't have much malice towards Song Wenxuan. She had no fun in the backyard, and the only person who ever showed her warmth was Song Wenxuan.

Although the man had many concubines, that was the way of the times, and she did not expect to be with only one man for life.

When Song Wenxuan woke up the next day, he found himself sleeping on a small couch, unaware of what had happened. He had drunk too much the night before and couldn't remember much.

He walked out in a daze and went to the study.

No sooner had he left than Lü Yunling sent someone to deliver a bowl of nourishing soup, saying it was for her sister to recover. It contained angelica and ginseng, and it looked quite authentic.

But in Xiao Li's view, this was a bowl of potent medicine; after drinking it, one's body would be invaded by cold.

Especially for women, drinking this can cause great damage to the uterus, making it difficult to conceive and causing them to be extremely sensitive to cold.

Xiao Li obediently finished the fertility soup and handed the empty bowl to Xia He.

"Thank you, sister!"

Xia He looked at Xiao Li with pity, "Second Miss, please take good care of yourself, drink more hot water, and don't catch a cold."

Xiao Li nodded. Drinking hot water is correct, but it's uncertain who should drink it.

That evening, Xiao Li went to Lü Yunling's room and poured the still-steaming infertility soup down her throat.

Lü Yunling smacked her lips in her sleep; she was feeling a bit thirsty, and this was really refreshing.

As expected of a reborn woman, Lü Yunling completely changed her virtuous personality from her previous life, becoming ruthless and busy in the backyard.

She managed the entire general's mansion in an orderly manner, firmly controlling the power in the backyard.
