"Good heavens—that fat bastard from the Jiang family has climbed into the Seventh Prince's bed!"
"Oh my, how shameless!"
"That fickle woman, she even stopped the Second Prince from confessing her love to him in public at the Lantern Festival, and today she actually climbed into the Seventh Prince's bed! Tsk tsk tsk! She's completely disgraced the Marquis's mansion!"
"Heh, ever since the Marquis of Yongchang married that merchant Jin and had such a fool, where has he ever had any face left?"
"..."
"Miss—Miss—"
"Sister—Sister—"
The chattering noises woke Jiang Jiaojiao. "Shut up—"
This is never going to end!
Even when she becomes a ghost, she can't be allowed to have peace!
The moment I opened my eyes.
Jiang Jiaojiao was startled by the two women crying and shouting in front of her!
Isn't that A Yuan and Jiang Xue?
What happened?
Wasn't A Yuan sold to a brothel by Jiang Xue and tortured to death the year she became a ghost?
Isn't Jiang Xue already the empress?
This...this—
What's going on?
Outside the door, a group of people escorted the dignified and elegant princess into the room. The princess's face was extremely unpleasant.
The plump and radiant Jin stumbled in.
He hugged Jiaojiao tightly and burst into tears, crying, "My Jiaojiao—"
Seeing Jiang Xue standing beside her, weeping, she wailed even louder, "You—did you lead the wrong way? How did you end up in the Seventh Prince's room? This Seventh Prince… the Seventh Prince is clearly going to marry you!"
The onlookers were stunned.
This vulgar merchant's daughter isn't ashamed at all about climbing into someone's bed? She climbed into the wrong bed? Like mother, like daughter!
Tsk tsk tsk...
Jiang Xue immediately knelt down, tears streaming down her face, and hesitated, "Mother, I didn't... it was my sister..."
Jiang Xue was already beautiful, and when she cried, she looked even more like a white flower in the rain, instantly arousing everyone's sympathy and making the Jin mother and daughter appear even more vulgar and vicious!
The eldest princess's face was extremely pale.
She was born to a noble concubine in the palace and could not stand the mistreatment of illegitimate daughters. "She did such a shameless thing and dared to blame others!"
"In my opinion, she is just lusting after the Seventh Prince's good looks and shamelessly trying to climb into his bed!"
"Seventh Brother, rest assured, I will give you an explanation for this matter!"
Everyone looked at the man on the bed.
His long hair was disheveled, and there were bluish-purple and red spots on his fair and slender collarbone, indicating that he had just been through a "fight". Upon hearing the eldest princess's words, the man adjusted his moon-white inner robe, coughed, and looked up. His handsome face was completely bloodless, and his phoenix eyes were like thick ink that could not be dissolved. If one only looked at his appearance, he could be described as a beauty!
But when the light touched his crimson lips, everyone instinctively took a step back.
Rumor has it that the seventh prince suffers from a strange illness that requires him to drink human blood to prolong his life, and that he is nearing his end.
Her memories exploded, and Jiao Jiao finally remembered!
She...she...she!
She was reborn?
Reborn a year before I became a ghost?!
Oh my god!
Why couldn't it be an hour earlier?
She must be out of her mind to climb into someone's bed! And she even climbed into the bed of the sickly seventh prince!
Is God not satisfied with just toying with her once?
Do we have to do it again?
Jiang Xue cried and apologized, "Sister, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have left your side..."
"Shut up--"
Jiang Jiaojiao immediately covered her ears.
Every time something happens, Jiang Xue cries and whine, looking like she's suffered all sorts of injustices, as if she's been tormented in the Marquis's mansion. And yet, men all fall for it! When she cries, their hearts break, and they'd be willing to go through fire and water for her!
Even her cold-faced father and two brothers favored her!
Jiang Jiaojiao had truly had enough. It was one thing to hear it while she was alive, but to hear it for so many years as a ghost, and to witness her go from being a concubine's daughter in a marquis's mansion to a prince's concubine, the crown princess, and finally the empress!
Those weren't tears; they were golden tears! Ascending the ladder to the clouds!
The one who should be crying is Jiang Jiaojiao!
No! Don't—
It's just that I climbed into the wrong bed!
This time, she absolutely refuses to act recklessly like she did in her previous life and die on the road to her runaway marriage!
She must live well!
Jiang Jiaojiao turned around, met the man's dark eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I will take responsibility for you!"
The man's chest heaved, a sign of responsibility... Someone actually said in public that they wanted to take responsibility for themselves?
hehe……
The man's gaze was deep and unfathomable, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
Jiang Jiaojiao dressed calmly, but inside she was panicking. She was afraid that the man would have a relapse and she would be held down and have her blood sucked. She quickly got up, touched her temples, and pretended to be calm. "Just send someone to the Marquis's mansion to propose marriage."
Anyway, she won't run away again!
So what if she has a serious illness? She got married!
She remembered that right after she became a ghost, the seventh prince also died of illness.
It's only a year!
She endured this year, and from now on she would be the widowed princess of the Seventh Prince's mansion! She would have a house to live in, money to live in, and wouldn't have to serve any men—a life like that of a goddess!
You only realize the true value of reputation, status, and love after you've died once!
It's not as good as a big, edible chicken leg!
"Jiaojiao..."
Jin was stunned. Had Jiao Jiao lost her mind?
How could she possibly agree to the Seventh Prince's marriage proposal?!
Ignoring the noble ladies and young ladies around her, Jiang Jiaojiao curtsied to the princess, her plump figure saying, "This humble woman still needs to return to her residence to prepare her dowry. Farewell."
No matter what attitude she adopts, these noble ladies and the princess will not like her, so she might as well just give up.
Jin quickly followed.
Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to leave the courtyard, Jiang Xue timidly wiped away her tears and pitifully apologized, "I apologize to the princess for disrupting her banquet."
The onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads, feeling even more sorry for Jiang Xue. With such a stepmother and step-sister, it's no wonder she was betrothed to the Seventh Prince!
but……
Now, by a twist of fate, they've escaped a disaster, and everyone's attention has turned to the other protagonist involved.
As a prince, suffering from a serious illness, and lacking both favor and power, what use is his good looks?
The man, who was all looks and no substance, watched Jiang Jiaojiao's departing figure, a dark glint in his eyes. He stood up, coughing softly.
The eldest princess wanted to say something more.
But seeing the man's pale face and scarlet lips, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't be bothered to say anything more.
Outside the Princess's residence.
When Jiang Xue chased after them, Jiang Jiaojiao and Madam Jin had already boarded the carriage. She stood by the carriage, looking pitiful, and said, "Mother... Sister..."
Jiang Jiaojiao gets a headache just hearing Jiang Xue's voice now!
"Shut up—go to the back!"
Jiang Xue's face instantly turned whiter than snow. The sedan chair in the back was for the nanny and maid. Making her sit in the sedan chair in the back was... wasn't this slapping her in the face in front of everyone on the street?
