In the book, Miss Su is the concubine's daughter of a marquis of Changhu. She was sent by her stepmother and step-sister to Sujiazhuang, far away from the capital, to "recuperate". She was reborn three months before coming to the manor.
In her previous life, she was brought back to the capital from the manor by her stepmother and betrothed to the eldest grandson of some nobleman. She was hastily married a few months later. The author didn't describe the family in detail, only that it had fallen on hard times and no one was promising. The eldest grandson was called Wen Zhuofeng.
Wen Zhuofeng was a cripple with a peculiar and eccentric personality. He was initially reluctant to marry the woman chosen by his grandmother and aunt, and rumors of his brother committing suicide by jumping off a cliff in Xiangshan out of admiration for the woman only intensified his hatred for her. Five years later, Su Qing remained a virgin until her death, devastated by her husband's brother's death. She never understood how he could have committed suicide for her, a man she had never even met.
After Su Qing was reborn, she knew that she would go to Sujiazhuang, and she also knew that going there might give her an opportunity to change her destiny, so she made full preparations for it.
As soon as Su Qing arrived at Sujiazhuang, the family of her biological mother, Aunt Mei, secretly sent her three thousand taels of silver, as well as a precious medicinal herb called purple fragrant orchid, which Su Qing asked them to do everything they could to buy.
Mei was born in Shangjia, and was the concubine of Lord Su. Before her death, she was extremely favored by Lord Su and left Su Qing with a large fortune and a shop. The people who managed the money and shop were all servants sent by the Mei family, and even if Madam Su wanted it desperately, she could not get it.
The head of Sujia Village is Manager He, and the villagers call him Master He. He has more status than the nearby landlords. It is said that even people in the government office treat him with courtesy.
Manager He was mean and greedy, and with the instruction of Madam Su, he treated Su Qing badly in his previous life, and her reputation was completely ruined. She had to go back and marry that perverted cripple.
This time, Su Qing gave He Guanshi 800 taels of silver as soon as she entered the village, which blinded him. No matter what Su Qing did, he could not see. He Guanshi was also one of the sinners who harmed her in her previous life. Two years later, Su Qing sent someone to kill him.
Su Qing also knew that the old doctor had spent part of the 16th and 17th years of the Xiping reign residing on Oat Mountain in search of an extremely rare medicinal herb. Since the old doctor happened to be there during her visit to the village, she'd often sneak out to try her luck. And surprisingly, she actually had a chance encounter with the old doctor, offering him the purple fragrant orchid he desperately needed in exchange for the precious Jade Regenerating Skin Cream.
After returning to the capital, she used various methods to please Old Lady Su and Marquis Su, but a month later, Madam Su still found an excuse to arrange her marriage with Wen Zhuofeng with the Second Lady of the Wen family. Half a month later, at the beginning of winter, the old Princess Ping accidentally fell and her left cheek landed on a charcoal basin, leaving a burn. Su Qing presented the Jade Skin Regenerating Ointment, which quickly healed the burn on the left cheek of the old Princess Ping, not only saving the old Princess from suffering but also leaving no scar. The old Princess Ping heard about her experience and helped her cancel the marriage with the Wen family. Afterwards, she designed to expose the conspiracy between her stepmother and Concubine Mei, squeezed out her stepmother, and finally became the Princess of Ping County. She knew that the Third Prince would overthrow the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne, so she helped the Prince of Ping County stand on the Third Prince's side and won the love and respect of the Prince of Ping County...
At the same time, Su Qing learned that Xujia Village would soon produce a handsome young scholar, Gu Wangchen. In her previous life, besides her aunt, the only person who had ever shown her warmth was this man, a warmth she remembered for two lifetimes. In this life, she encountered Gu Wangchen again by chance and caught his attention. He was immediately captivated and, from then on, devotedly devoted to Su Qing. Upon hearing that his fiancée was vulgar, foolish, and a thief, Su Qing felt even more sympathetic.
Later, Xu Lanyin repeatedly went to the gate of Sujiazhuang, begging Su Qing to spare Gu Wangchen, much to the amusement of the villagers. Steward He allowed Xu Lanyin to provoke her because it was something both Madam Su and Su Qing wanted to see. Madam Su hoped to discredit Su Qing so she could manipulate her marriage, while Su Qing hoped word of this would spread to the capital, drawing the attention of the old lady and Marquis Su to Gu Wangchen. If she hadn't had the chance to offer the ointment to Princess Ping, marrying Gu Wangchen would have been better than marrying that perverted cripple...
Xu Lanyin glanced at the large courtyard from afar. Inside lived a beautiful, noble, and exceptionally intelligent reborn heroine. She was loved by the overbearing male protagonist, Prince Ping, and admired by the infatuated male supporting role, Gu Wangchen. Even an unknown male supporting role had committed suicide for her. She would return to Beijing in mid-September to start her life as the reborn heroine. She, a foolish, stupid country cannon fodder, would not have anything to do with her again. She could not be cannon fodder again in her life.
Logically, the original owner should have drowned in the river after Gu Wangchen returned, but for some reason, she fell from the tree and died first. Perhaps she died unexpectedly in her previous life and came to occupy this body. Someone with telepathic abilities is much tougher than the cannon fodder female supporting role.
Xu Lanyin walked very fast because she was worried. She arrived at the county town in more than three quarters of an hour. Following her memory, she went to a clinic called Qianjintang.
The shopkeeper Qian, who was in charge of collecting the herbs, said with a smile, "Young Lady Xu is here, and she has collected a lot of herbs this time."
Xu Lanyin smiled and said, "Yes, not only did we pick a lot of herbs, we also picked some Gastrodia elata and a piece of snake skin."
Shopkeeper Qian had the Tianma and snake skin weighed, and he gave her three hundred and seventy-six coins. He also said with a smile, "I calculated the price of the Tianma as top-grade. Go home and buy some meat and pork liver for Ting. He's too thin, so he needs to take good care of him."
Xu Lanyin's mother Qin and Xu Lanting both received medical treatment at this clinic and were quite familiar with each other. The shopkeeper Qian was also a kind-hearted person.
Xu Lanyin thanked him with a smile.
Nanping County was a large county, serving as the gateway to Beijing from the south and southwest. It was also not far from the capital, and was quite prosperous. Xu Lanyin first took a quick tour of most of the county. Almost everything was sold there, and some of the handicrafts on the stalls were even more exquisite than those in her previous life. She could not help but sigh once again at the boundless wisdom of the ancient people.
She went to the pawnshop first and pawned her red silk and veil. She pawned them for two hundred and eighty wen, and the veil for only twenty. The court official said that if the red silk hadn't been embroidered, it could have been worth forty wen, but the embroidery was so ugly it was only worth that much.
Xu Lanyin was not very clear about the price of this kind of cloth, and she could not hear Chaofeng's thoughts, so she had to accept whatever amount was offered.
Afterwards, she went to the Nanping Silver Shop. The waiter saw that she was not going to buy jewelry and ignored her. Xu Lanyin did not care and went straight to the shopkeeper. She took out the pair of silver bracelets, a silver hairpin, and a pair of silver cloves and placed them on the brown wooden counter. She smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, I have some urgent matters at home and want to sell these jewelry." She added, "I have never worn these jewelry. I saved them for my dowry."
The shopkeeper, who was in his fifties, held up each piece of jewelry to the light and examined it carefully. He then weighed it on a scale and said, "Young lady, although you haven't worn them before, the bracelet is light and the hairpin is thin. They are also quite old and have turned black. I see your family is having a hard time, so I'll give you a fair price of four ounces and eight cents of silver."
