Previous life (1)
Because of Xiao Yue's poor situation, Lin Yan paid more attention to her, but to her surprise, Xiao Yue was quite talented in archery.
Lin Yan was a person who valued talent, and when he was teaching physical education in Class Jiazi, he wanted to teach her more.
The little girl was too timid, and Lin Yan was not too enthusiastic. He just patiently guided her to explore the secrets of archery on her own.
During this time at the academy, Zhong Yuxi did not do anything, but something went wrong with Lin Yi.
After school was over, Lin Yan returned to the Lin Mansion. When they were having dinner together, he saw Lin Yi lowering his head and constantly picking at the rice in the bowl, but he just didn't eat it. He looked absent-minded.
Seeing this, Lin Yan knocked on the bowl with chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong? You seem absent-minded."
Lin Yi told Lin Yan that Tang Yuelin had left the capital for a month, and said with a bitter face: "I asked A'man, the servant beside Yuelin, and he told me that Yuelin went to her maternal grandfather's house to meet the relatives."
After hearing Lin Yan's advice not to worry about other things and to not push Yue Lin away if he liked her, Lin Yi thought it through.
As a result, I received this news today.
After hearing this, Lin Yan didn't know what to say and said speechlessly: "Give up just like that? It seems that you don't like Miss Tang that much. If you like a girl, go after her. What's the point of just thinking about her here?"
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then stood up suddenly and said, "I'll go find her."
Lin Yan looked at Lin Yi with satisfaction and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder: "You are worthy of being my younger brother, Lin Yan, but you don't have to be on duty anymore."
"That's not a problem. I'll just ask for leave," Lin Yi said. Song Yizhou wouldn't let him go.
"Sister, enjoy your meal. I'm going to prepare for my trip to Wenzhou." After saying that, Lin Yi ran away.
Looking at Lin Yi's impatient back, Lin Yan supported his head and said, "I wonder if I can have another sister-in-law this time."
Zou Mansion on Baibu Street in Wenzhou
Tang Yuelin's uncle Zou Rushen is busy preparing to find a husband for his daughter Zou Jing.
Zou Ru was a famous wealthy businessman in Wenzhou. Unfortunately, he only had one daughter, Zou Jing. His wife passed away after giving birth to their daughter. He and his wife loved each other deeply and he never remarried.
Unfortunately, Zou Jing had no interest in business. Such a huge family business could not be left without an heir, so Zou Rushen wanted to find a son-in-law for his daughter. In this way, when his daughter gave birth to a child, the family business would be inherited by this child, and his daughter's marriage would also be arranged.
This time, Zou Rushen wanted his daughter to choose her ideal husband through a martial arts competition.
Zou Rushen only wanted to find a strong man who could protect his daughter, and did not require him to be good at business.
Tang Yuelin came to Wenzhou for this matter, because she knew that tomorrow a man with outstanding martial arts skills would win the championship and marry into the Zou family.
She came here to stop all this.
As for why she knew, it was because Tang Yuelin was reborn.
In her previous life, after Lin Yi broke off the engagement with her family, Tang Yuelin finally compromised with her mother and married Xu Liang, the second son of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
At this time in her previous life, Tang Yuelin did not participate in her cousin's martial arts competition to find a husband. At that time, she was still immersed in the sadness of Lin Yi's rejection of her.
At that time, I only heard that the man my cousin married was named Zhao Qing, a man of the world, skilled in martial arts and handsome. My uncle Zou Rushen was very satisfied with him.
Tang Yuelin attended her cousin's wedding and met Zhao Qing, but her impression of him at the time was that he looked like an honest man. Tang Yuelin did not have much contact with him, and her understanding of him was limited to this.
It’s a pity that my cousin has always been in poor health and has not given birth to any children. Zhao Qing loves my cousin very much and is also very filial to his uncle Zou Rushen.
Later, Zhao Qing showed his excellent business talent. Under Zhao Qing's day-to-day offensive, and the doctor's statement that his cousin would never get pregnant again, his uncle finally handed over the huge family business to Zhao Qing.
Later, her uncle suddenly fell seriously ill. Tang Yuelin went to attend his funeral. Seeing her cousin becoming increasingly thin, she couldn't help but worry. She always felt that something was wrong, but her cousin was immersed in the grief of her father at that time, so she didn't dare to ask too much.
Afterwards, Tang Yuelin returned to Beijing and told her good friend Zhong Yuxi about this incident, but the other party advised her not to think too much about it.
Zhong Yuxi is a good friend Tang Yuelin made after she got married. Once when she was out for a trip, her carriage had an accident and she met Zhong Yuxi who helped her.
The two have had an intersection since then. Although he is a few years older than Zhong Yuxi, Zhong Yuxi and he have similar interests. Gradually, the two became good friends who can talk about anything.
Later, Zhong Yuxi married Gu Shi, the illegitimate son of Duke Mu.
Although Gu Shi was only a concubine's son, he was extremely talented and a rare talent.
At first, in the eyes of everyone, Gu Shi was just an unknown bastard who had a good-looking face but nothing outstanding in other aspects. However, he became famous in the imperial examination and won the second place.
The door was crisscrossed with people looking for marriage proposals, and countless people wanted to marry their daughters to him. But on the day when Gu Shi passed the imperial examination, he went to the Zhong Mansion to ask for Zhong Yuxi's hand in marriage under the envious gaze of everyone.
If Gu Shi had not won the second place, his status would definitely not be worthy of Zhong Yuxi.
Zhong Yuxi is also well-known in the capital. After all, she saved the current emperor's only daughter, Princess Yong'an, and is on good terms with the princess. No one dares to disrespect her.
However, what shocked everyone was that she saved the life of the top scholar, but ended up marrying the second place scholar.
After she got married, the top scholar always stayed by her side. Everyone in Beijing envied Zhong Yuxi for having such a good life.
The story of Zhong Yuxi and Gu Shi is also a good story in Beijing.
If Zhong Yuxi's marriage is surprising, then her sister Zhong Ningning's marriage is famous in the capital.
The head of the Zhong family, Zhong Ningning's father, is only a minister of rites, but compared with the wealthy families in the capital, he is quite powerful.
When the current emperor issued an edict to confer the title of empress on Zhong Ningning, everyone in the capital was shocked. No one could associate Zhong Ningning with the position of empress.
As for how His Majesty and Zhong Ningning had any connection, there is no way to know.
Unfortunately, the empress had a short life. One year after the emperor and empress got married, the empress died of illness and ultimately left no children.
After the Queen's death, His Majesty posthumously conferred the title of Empress Wende on her, and His Majesty has never recovered since then.
A year after Queen Sangdeok's death, His Majesty suddenly went mad and had the Regent thrown into jail, claiming that the Regent was the culprit who killed the Queen.
From then on, the court was in chaos. Some people wanted to take advantage of the situation, while others wanted to redress the grievances of the Regent.
This lasted for three months and ended with the regent's sudden death.
Some people say that the Regent committed suicide out of fear of punishment, while others say that the Regent was murdered, but no one knows the truth.
Since the passing of the Regent, His Majesty seemed like a different person, and everyone realized that the child raised by the Regent himself was not as kind as they had imagined.
His Majesty inherited the Regent's vicious methods. After the Regent passed away, he was like a wolf that had been unchained, biting madly.
He was madly searching for the murderer who killed the Regent. Once he got any clue, he would put the person in jail. Everyone in the capital was in danger, fearing that they would be the next one.
It was eventually discovered that the case was related to the rebellious group of Prince Jing, and the emperor searched the entire capital city to find all the rebels of Prince Jing.
What Tang Yuelin didn't expect was that this matter was actually related to her family.
Within half a month, Tang Yuelin's uncle's family was investigated, and all the men in the Zou family were exiled and the women were forced to become prostitutes.
The reason was that the emperor found out that Zou Jing's husband, Zhao Qing, was the biological son of Zhao Yuan, the former right-hand man of Prince Jing, and that this person appeared in the capital before and after the incident of the Regent.
The emperor found out that it was related to Zhao Heng and ordered his arrest, but Zhao Heng had disappeared a month ago. It should have been thoroughly investigated, but the emperor did not make any judgment and raided Zou's mansion.
During that time, Tang Yuelin's parents ran around for the Zou family, trying to prove the innocence of the Zou family.
Cousin Zou Jing was already in poor health, and after His Majesty issued an order to confiscate her property, she couldn't bear it and passed away. Tang Yuelin broke down and cried, and fell seriously ill, but the story was not over yet.
Zhao Tong, deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, found evidence that the Marquis' Mansion had secret dealings with Prince Jing's rebel party, and the emperor ordered Zhao Tong to conduct a thorough investigation.
Tang Yuelin initially thought it was just a misunderstanding, but Zhao Tong actually found letters of secret communication with Prince Jing's rebel party in the Marquis' Mansion, and even letters exchanged when Prince Jing was planning a rebellion.
Upon hearing the news, Tang Yuelin rushed to the Marquis' Mansion, but was driven out by her father and mother.
Tang Yuelin could never forget A'niang's desperate eyes. She kept pushing herself away and shouted, "A'lin, go away quickly and don't come to the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion is on the verge of collapse. You are a daughter who married out. His Majesty will remember the past and you will be fine."
Tang Yuelin ran around everywhere, asking for help from everyone, hoping that someone could save the Marquis' Mansion, but no one did. No one dared to get involved in this matter.
Her husband, Xu Liang, had divorced her on the day the incident happened in the Marquis' Mansion.
She went to look for Zhong Yuxi. Her husband, Gu Shi, was now a favorite of His Majesty, so he must have a way.
However, the door of the Gu Mansion was closed and no one was allowed to enter. This told Tang Yuelin that Zhong Yuxi did not want to save her.
When Tang Yuelin saw the true face of her seemingly innocent friend for the first time, she felt disheartened. No one in this huge capital city could help her.
In the end, the marquis's mansion was ransacked, and Tang Yuelin's father and mother were thrown into prison and sentenced to death.
On the day her father and mother were executed, Tang Yuelin and her men tried to kidnap them, but the plan failed, and A'man, the servant who had followed her since childhood, died trying to save her.
Tang Yuelin was almost caught, and it was Lin Yi who saved her.
Actually, the two hadn't seen each other for seven years. When the incident happened in the Marquis' Mansion, Tang Yuelin was desperate and went to look for Lin Yi, but the news she got was that he had left Beijing for several days.
When I saw Lin Yi again, everything had changed. Lin Yi had a cold aura and looked like he didn't want anyone to approach him.
Tang Yuelin fainted when Lin Yi brought her back to the Lin Mansion.
She slept for a full half month, or rather, she fainted for half a month.
For the past half month, Tang Yuelin had nightmares constantly. She dreamed day and night that her parents died tragically in front of her. She was trapped in the nightmare and couldn't wake up.
Lin Yi invited all the doctors he could find, but he still couldn't wake Tang Yuelin up.
For the past half month, Lin Yi has been staying by Tang Yuelin's side, begging her to wake up every day.
On the day Tang Yuelin woke up, the doctor said that Tang Yuelin's desire to survive was very weak and she might be dying.
Lin Yi looked at the dying Tang Yuelin. He had never shed a tear in the past six years, but now he couldn't hold back his tears.
He grabbed Tang Yuelin's hand, put it on his face, and said with a sob: "Please wake up, Alin, I beg you, please wake up."
Perhaps because she heard Lin Yi's repeated pleading, Tang Yuelin's breathing gradually calmed down and she actually opened her eyes.
When Tang Yuelin woke up, she looked at the unfamiliar environment and the familiar yet unfamiliar face. She wanted to speak, but she said nothing.
After she recovered completely, Tang Yuelin grabbed Lin Yi's arm and asked frantically: "Where are my father and mother? And A'man, where are they?"
Lin Yi remained silent and didn't dare to look at Tang Yuelin.
"Where are they? Tell me, they are not dead, right? They are not dead, right?" Tang Yuelin's voice collapsed several times.
After a while, Lin Yi said: "They are already dead."
"They are not dead, they must not be dead." Tang Yuelin held her head in her hands, unable to accept all this.
Lin Yi brought the medicine and advised: "Take the medicine first, and think about other things after you take the medicine."
Tang Yuelin knocked over the medicine and yelled, "I won't drink it. If you let me go, I want revenge."
The bowl fell to the ground, and the fragments flew everywhere, scratching Lin Yi's hand and causing blood to flow out.
Seeing this, Tang Yuelin's expression softened and she said in a hoarse voice, "Sorry, please go out. I want to be alone."
Lin Yi was silent for a while, finally sighed and said, "Okay."
He put the medicine beside the bed and lowered his voice: "Remember to take the medicine."
