In the third life, Xiaoman was completely dependent on this brother, and they only had brotherly and sisterly feelings.
She would learn her brother's calligraphy, try her best to entertain his friends, and even recite texts and write essays with him when he was studying hard.
Soon, my brother came back after passing the imperial examination.
The door of his house was almost broken down by matchmakers proposing marriage for him. As the sister of the top scholar, she was also very popular, and several relatives were asking about her marriage.
The parents politely declined one by one and waited for the brother to come back to discuss it.
Her brother found a close classmate for her who came from a wealthy family and had good character, so Xiaoman's marriage was settled.
However, his elder brother postponed his marriage. Carrying a deep blood feud, he advertised to the outside world that he would only discuss marriage after passing the imperial examination. In fact, he had already colluded with the rebels in the south and was waiting to take revenge one day.
His enemy was the powerful General's Mansion, and now he was just a young man who hadn't even passed the imperial examination. However, his ruthless tactics had also won him a group of loyal followers.
Xiaoman didn't know any of this.
The little girl was only fourteen years old, but she had already started preparing her dowry under the care of her parents. She would marry and become the first wife when she turned sixteen.
Lin Yue said to Xiao Jingyun, "In this life, apart from growing up together, we don't have much in common."
"Especially emotional entanglements and turning into enemies."
Xiao Jingyun said: "Have you noticed that the story line seems to be different, and their ages are gradually increasing."
"I mean, the age to go through some things."
Lin Yue suddenly realized, "Maybe as the number of lives I've lived through increases, my age will also increase, until I finally reach the age of natural death."
"That should be a different feeling."
Xiao Jingyun said: "I guess it should be like this. Birth, aging, sickness and death are also part of life."
Ling Yao said: "Well, so your patience is being tested more and more."
"This story may be a bit long."
Lin Yue yawned. She wanted to take a nap, but when she thought of Li Mo watching her, she became alert again.
She asked Lingyao, "Master, if the situation gets out of control, will Limo go in to stop it?"
Ling Yao said: "If that's the case, all our efforts will be in vain."
"Not only will he not be able to retrieve the Qionglin Dew, but Li Mo's cultivation will also be damaged and absorbed by the spirit tree."
Lin Yue was dumbfounded: "Isn't this too scary?"
"What if we stop it?"
Ling Yao said: "It is difficult for you to stop them. The most you can do is use the Great Dream Three Lives Harp to weave a dream for them."
"But if they can't wake up, it will be a waste of effort."
Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better to have a solution than not to have one."
"As long as I know there's a chance to make amends, I'm not too worried."
At the same time, in the picture, Xiaoman got married as she wished.
My husband's surname is Zhang and his name is Zhang Tai.
He is a young man from a noble family. There are five rooms in his family, and he is the eldest son.
The more love you receive, the more attention you will receive.
Xiaoman's brother had already become the top scorer in the imperial examination and was qualified to serve in the imperial court. He became a disciple of the cabinet minister and was his favorite student.
Xiaoman got married with a grand wedding. Her husband was considerate and her parents-in-law were kind. Her husband did not like fame and fortune, and he took her to travel around the mountains and rivers all day long. The couple spent a very sweet time together.
But soon, problems arose.
Xiaoman had not been pregnant. When her brother found out, he sent a letter from the capital, asking them to go to the capital to ask the imperial physician for treatment.
Zhang Tai immediately took Xiaoman to Beijing under the escort of a fleet purchased by his family.
It would have been better if I hadn’t arrived in the capital and found out that my brother had already arranged a marriage, and the other party was the daughter of the elder.
The two planned to buy a house in the capital and settle down there, and then go back home after their brother got married.
Xiaoman was also cured and soon became pregnant.
My brother got married and things seemed to be going well.
If Zhang Tai's brother had not given him two aides before he left and told him that he could send a message to the capital at the critical moment, perhaps he would not have noticed anything unusual.
Lin Yue said: "Revenge must begin."
"By marrying the elder's daughter, I have real power again."
"If we don't act now, when will we act?"
Xiao Jingyun said: "If he succeeds, he will be the next one to reach the highest position in the government."
"If he fails... then..."
The consequence is naturally the punishment of nine generations of the family.
After all, that was in the ancient feudal dynasty, and any interaction and mutual support between relatives also meant the possibility of being implicated.
As expected.
The border began to become chaotic. The general disappeared on the battlefield. Someone reported that the general was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
And the person who conducted the thorough investigation was my brother.
As expected, under the frame-up conspiracy, he executed the general's relatives at an extremely fast speed, and even spared no expense for the one-month-old baby.
When the general who escaped death heard the news, he was extremely sad and angry, and actually rebelled.
The army was unstoppable and the imperial power was in jeopardy.
However, his elder brother stirred up trouble, not only confirming the fact that the general was rebelling, but also making the emperor trust him completely.
He even pushed the generals he had helped to rise to power onto the battlefield.
He also led the troops out of the capital, expressing his determination to fight and die for the emperor.
When the Zhang family was broken into by the rebels and were about to be killed, the elder brother appeared in time to save the Zhang family.
When Zhang Tai and his brother looked at each other, the former close friend and classmate, and later brother-in-law and relative, all seemed extremely unfamiliar.
The rebels were eventually wiped out, but the elder brother chose to retire at the cost of a broken leg. After taking revenge, he finally lived in leisure at home.
My younger sister already has two children, but her relationship with Zhang Tai is no longer there. The Zhang family's property was plundered by the rebels, and they are no longer as prosperous as before.
Eventually, the Zhang family fell apart. Zhang Tai blamed everything on his brother. After getting drunk one day, he told Xiaoman the truth.
Unexpectedly, these words were heard by someone with ulterior motives, and Zhang Tai soon fell into the water and died.
Xiaoman took her two children to her mother's home. She could not believe that all this was done by her brother. When she thought about every little thing that happened over the years, her tears flowed like a dam bursting.
Soon, I returned to my mother's home.
However, his brother had been captured by the emperor's men and his life or death was unknown.
In order to keep the secret, the parents chose to commit suicide.
Xiaoman arranged the funeral for her parents while struggling to survive with her two children. But in the end, her two children still died.
It was the sister-in-law who committed the murder, because her relatives were implicated by her husband, and more importantly, she knew very well that her husband had always had a woman in his heart, a woman he dared not even speak of.
Knowing that she would never be forgiven by her husband and relatives, she chose to commit suicide after killing Xiaoman's two children.
When my brother came back, he saw an empty house filled with coffins.
