Xiangguo Temple.

Side hall.

Jiang Shuwan bumped headfirst into the arms of the Marquis of Wenyuan's heir, and when she looked up, she saw her younger sister hiding behind the artificial hill, secretly laughing.

Instantly, she knew that her younger sister had also been reborn.

In her previous life, she and her younger sister Jiang Yao were twins who transmigrated to this world.

Jiang Jiaguan was appointed as an assistant minister in the Ministry of Rites, a minor official of the fifth rank. His economic conditions were incomparable to those of wealthy and powerful families, but they were enough for him to make a living.

Before transmigrating, Jiang Shuwan was the queen of office politics in a large company, holding a high position and having more money than she could spend, but she died from overwork.

Reborn, she simply settled for a life of leisure, spending her time gardening and raising fish.

Take a hundred steps after a meal, and you'll live to ninety-nine.

Jiang Yao, however, was ambitious.

While most children can't even speak clearly at one year old, she displayed "talent".

She learned to read at the age of one, could recite the Three Character Classic backwards at the age of three, and copied the poem "Spring sleep is unaware of dawn" at the age of ten.

She transformed into a talented and beautiful woman, causing a sensation in the capital.

In an instant, she outshone all the young ladies from wealthy and noble families.

Later, she participated in the power struggles within the household, helped her mother, Madam Song, to become the official wife, and even had a secret relationship with the young master of the Yongchang Marquis's mansion.

Noble families place great importance on matching social status and family background in marriage.

The Jiang family is only of the fifth rank; how could they be worthy of the title of the Earl's Mansion?

The aunt looked down on her and forced the young master to marry another woman from a prominent family.

Just as everyone was laughing at her, Jiang Yao turned around and married the heir of Marquis Wenyuan.

The Earl and the Marquis are legitimate blood relatives.

By all accounts, Young Master Pei Lingyu should address Prince Pei Yanzhi as his cousin.

The Earl's family looked down on her, yet she married into the Marquis's family, which amazed everyone.

pity.

Once you enter the gates of a noble family, it's like entering a deep, uncharted sea.

She was neither favored by the crown prince nor able to outmaneuver his scheming cousin.

Adding to her misery was her mother-in-law's viciousness and treacherous nature, who tormented her every day, making her life extremely miserable.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shuwan also got married.

Thinking back to her marriage in her previous life, Jiang Shuwan felt it was all absurd.

Didn't Jiang Yao have a young master as her first love? She was forced by her master's wife to marry a woman from a prestigious family.

That noblewoman was short-lived; she died of illness less than a month after entering the household.

His newlywed wife died, and his sweetheart was going to marry his cousin.

Pei Lingyu was heartbroken and spent her days drunk, ruining herself to death.

Lady Bo felt sorry for her son. Since Jiang Yao was already married, she asked to marry Jiang Shuwan as his second wife, hoping to make amends and help Pei Lingyu cheer up.

"They're both daughters of the Jiang family; you can't write the same character as two people named Jiang, so there are bound to be some similarities..."

Jiang Shuwan once suspected that her aunt had read too much literature about substitutes, which was why she could come up with such a bad idea.

The key point is that Jiang's father actually agreed.

On their wedding night, Pei Lingyu smashed up the bridal chamber.

I will never touch you!

"My favorite is Yao'er!"

"Touching you is betraying her, you disgust me..."

What kind of love-struck statement is this? If you don't want to touch me, then don't. You're not some stunningly handsome man begging me to touch you.

They even said I was disgusting...

Who's being disgusting here? Your love-hate relationship and your tragic love have absolutely nothing to do with me!

Jiang Shuwan remained silent, but life went on as usual.

She used to be a lazy bum in the Jiang family mansion, and now she's moved to a different place, continuing to be a lazy bum and living a leisurely life.

Surprisingly, this earned her the sympathy of the aunt, who felt sorry for her after seeing that she had become a widow at such a young age.

Give her the keys to the house and a trusted confidant.

They wouldn't even let her learn any rules, serve others, or send the best things to her courtyard first, even the young master would be sent after her.

Jiang Shuwan's life at the Marquis's residence was actually better than her life at the Jiang residence.

Jiang Yao was so angry that she vomited blood.

She had always wanted to compete with Jiang Shuwan in everything since she was a child, and always wanted to beat Jiang Shuwan down.

Jiang Shuwan's comfortable and carefree life was more painful than death itself.

Jiang Yao was tormented by her mother-in-law's torment, which took a toll on her body and mind. She died a few years later.

Jiang Shuwan lived comfortably for nearly ten years, never expecting that she would be reborn on the day Jiang Yao plotted against the Marquis's heir.

Moreover, Jiang Yao was also reborn.

At this moment, they are hiding behind the artificial hill.

Composing herself, Jiang Shuwan's gaze fell on the bewildered Prince Wen Yuan.

The prince is only twenty years old and studies at the Imperial Academy every day. He doesn't even have a concubine by his side.

He had never experienced bumping into a woman and being caught in her arms before, and he didn't react for a moment.

The servants and classmates following behind him were also stunned and didn't react at all.

Before they could finish their discussion, Jiang Shuwan covered her face with a butterfly-shaped silk fan, turned around, and left.

She was originally offering incense in the main hall when she overheard some passersby discussing how beautifully the winter plum blossoms were blooming, so she came over to take a look.

Instead of seeing any flowers, she bumped into the prince's arms.

This era.

There was a strict separation between men and women; it was already considered inappropriate for unmarried women and men to embrace in broad daylight.

In her previous life, Jiang Yao did exactly that: she bribed the groom of the Marquis's mansion to find out in advance that the young master was coming to Xiangguo Temple, and then she hugged him tightly.

It was even designed so that the prince's servants and classmates could see it.

Unmarried men and women who act this way are in a situation they can't clear their name even if they jump into the Yellow River.

They can only get married.

Otherwise, if the Earl's Mansion already dislikes Jiang Yao, how could she possibly marry into the Marquis's Mansion?

Reborn.

Jiang Yao, on the other hand, decided not to get married.

Instead, they plotted against her.

In her past life, Jiang Yao regretted her decision more than once, saying she was wrong and shouldn't have chosen the Marquis's mansion, calling it a den of dragons and tigers.

They say the Earl's mansion is a blessed place, that the young master is a good husband, and that the Earl's wife is a loving mother-in-law who dotes on her daughter-in-law...

After her rebirth, Jiang Yao clearly did not want to marry into the Marquis's family.

But what's with scheming against her?

Damn it, I didn't do anything to you!
