Beijiang State, Duke Dingguo’s Mansion.
Xie Ling suddenly opened her eyes, her chest heaving up and down as she gasped for breath.
What came into view was a collection of antique furniture. A little maid with two buns on her head was kneeling on the ground and sobbing, "Madam, what should we do? It is said that the climate in the exile area is hot, wild animals are rampant, and miasma is everywhere..."
Strange memories flooded into his mind in an instant. Xie Ling rubbed his temples and sadly accepted the fact before him.
After drowning, she traveled through time and space and became the concubine's daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the newly married wife of the Prince of Dingguo!
The prince of Duke Dingguo was a man of extraordinary talent. His mother was of noble birth and his father was a powerful figure.
The Gu family generals led by him were brave and good at fighting, and made countless contributions to Beijiang.
At the age of twenty, he was granted the title of a king of a different surname. He was also gifted with an unrivaled handsome face, a bright and handsome appearance, and was the dream man of all the girls in the capital.
But he fell into a coma a few months ago after returning from the battlefield. Everyone in the Imperial Hospital said that he would never recover and would be a living dead for the rest of his life.
Xie Yunyan, the daughter of the Prime Minister, who was originally engaged to him, cried at home for three days and three nights after hearing the news.
The prime minister loved his daughter dearly, so he changed the person he was engaged to to his concubine's daughter Xie Ling.
And he married her off in a hurry, saying that it was to bring good luck to Gu Wei.
As I was sorting out my memories, there was suddenly a loud noise at the door.
Xie Ling frowned, looked up, and saw a large group of people coming to the door.
The leader was a big and strong old woman, and behind her stood a mean-looking woman.
Xie Ling learned from her memory that this was Liu, the eldest lady of the second branch of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Xie Ling should call her Second Aunt.
Seeing the other party coming aggressively, Xie Ling didn't hesitate and asked bluntly: "What are you doing here?"
"Your first wife has really ruined the reputation of our Duke's Mansion for a hundred years! Although our second wife is a concubine's daughter, she has also helped the Duke's Mansion accumulate a lot of wealth over the years. We are here today to take it away, so that the Duke's Mansion will not fall into the hands of your first wife."
Liu's two triangular eyes gleamed with brilliance.
Xie Ling sneered, it turned out that he was here to take advantage of her misfortune.
The Duke's Mansion had been passed down from generation to generation, but had long since declined. It only began to prosper when it came into the hands of Gu Wei's father. The Duke's Mansion's wealth accumulation had nothing to do with the Second House.
In the past, when Gu Wei had not gotten into trouble, the people from the second house would rush to curry his favor like lapdogs.
Now that something has happened, not only does he not want to help, but he also comes to bully her new niece-in-law. How shameless.
Xie Ling had no time to deal with this kind of person. She waved her hand and said coldly, "No property, please get out of here to the left of the gate."
Liu was irritated by Xie Ling's attitude. A sinister light flashed in her eyes. She cursed: "You little rascal, you still think you are the wife of the prince. A young wife like you should get sores and die. You deserve to marry a dead husband and be a widow."
Xie Ling didn't expect that this lady was so mean. You know, in the end times, anyone who cursed her like this has gone to see the King of Hell.
Just when he wanted to teach her a lesson, he found that he had no strength in his hands.
She had just been sorting out her memories and had not had time to check the condition of this body. This body was very weak and had been poisoned for a long time.
It's really like when it rains it pours!
After Liu finished cursing, she spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, waved her arm and began to direct the people behind her to move things.
She squinted her eyes and pursed her lips. The two ferocious-looking servants understood her instructions and walked towards Xie Ling.
Seeing the servant with a lewd smile on his face getting closer and closer, Xie Ling's mind was working rapidly, looking for a handy piece of jewelry on his body to use as a weapon.
She only touched a jade pendant, which her mother-in-law had taken from her cheap husband on their wedding night.
The moment she touched the jade pendant, a white light flashed before Xie Ling's eyes, and two slender silver needles suddenly appeared in her hand!
Without time to think about it, Xie Ling exerted force with two fingers and the silver needles flew out quickly, one inserted into the armpit and the other into the center of the eyebrows.
The two men fell to the ground.
Xie Ling took a deep breath and thought to herself that it was fortunate that her fingers could still move.
But Xie Ling could only protect herself and prevent others from getting close to her, but she couldn't stop them from moving things around.
Apart from Xie Ling, there was only a crying little maid in the courtyard. The other servants had already packed up their belongings and fled.
Liu looked at the large items being moved out one by one, her eyes full of greed.
"Goddess, this big pearwood cabinet is worth a lot of silver. Oh, this box is full of jewelry."
As he said this, he looked straight at Xie Ling, thinking that it would be great if he could take away this little bitch's dowry as well.
But looking at the two servants lying on the ground, he felt a little scared.
As she was struggling, a sharp arrow flew through her hair.
Liu's eyes widened, her legs trembling as she looked up, and she was almost frightened to death.
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows and looked, only to see a handsome young man of about twelve or thirteen standing at the gate of the courtyard, holding a bow and arrow in his hands.
The young man raised his hand and shot three arrows at three different places. He said in a cold voice, "Whoever dares to touch my things today, I, Gu Li, will shoot him to death. I mean what I say."
The servants in the courtyard were frightened and dared not move.
The young man trotted over to Xie Ling, showing a protective attitude, and said, "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, I will protect you. Mother fainted from anxiety, and Ru Jie'er is taking care of her."
After the young man comforted Xie Ling, he said to Liu in a fierce tone: "Take your people and get out of here quickly. I will search your house tomorrow. Do you think I am afraid of killing you?"
Liu was frightened by the arrow, but she was still greedy. She swallowed her saliva and said, "How dare you! Besides, these properties belong to my family!"
