Wen Zhixuan's origins are shrouded in mystery, yet he possesses extraordinary abilities: divination, fortune telling, rainmaking, and demon-catching—he is capable of anything. Last autumn, during the hunt, he saved His Majesty's life, thus earning the Emperor's trust.
The key point is that he is still very young.
After Jiang Shumiao fell asleep, Xiao Yitang asked his eldest daughter.
Do you know this person?
Jiang Shuman shook her head, "I don't know him."
She has a strong sense of justice and has always stepped in to help those who bully men and women. But she would never bring a stranger home.
Besides, Wen Zhixuan is rumored to be incredibly powerful, so how could it be her turn to save him?
Jiang Shuman even suspected that her sister had made a mistake.
But what happened before completely confirmed what my sister said.
What exactly went wrong?
Jiang Shuman was completely baffled.
And Jiang Shumiao's full moon celebration also arrived.
An imperial edict arrived early in the morning, bestowing upon Jiang Shumiao the title of Princess Fule and granting her numerous rewards.
“Your Highness, this is a longevity lock specially made for Princess Fule by His Majesty, symbolizing a long and healthy life.”
Xiao Yitang smiled and thanked him, but then she heard—
[Bah! Even immortals who live to be a hundred are considered to have died young. What a blind and incompetent ruler! He wouldn't even spare a child, and he even cursed me to die young! He deserved to lose his kingdom.]
Xiao Yitang: "..."
Don't try to reason with a baby; she'll not only cry, but she'll also pee on whoever she can reach.
"Little Miaomiao is so pretty."
A clear voice rang out.
Jiang Shuman curtsied and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
My unlucky cousin, the crown prince, is here too?
Jiang Shumiao's attention was quickly drawn.
The crown prince was ultimately burned at the stake as an evil spirit—so tragic, so incredibly tragic…
Jiang Shuman: "..."
So far, she hasn't heard from her sister that anyone isn't suffering.
Crown Prince Xiao Chengyun is twelve years old this year, still a young boy. Because of his status, he has never had private dealings with court officials. Today he has come on orders, and Jiang Zhixu is not in the capital.
When he took out the gleaming gold longevity lock, Jiang Shumiao's expression changed instantly.
Wow, what a huge gold lock!
Jiang Shuman clicked her tongue inwardly.
Well, he's still a little greedy devil.
Xiao Chengyun smiled and said, "It seems that Miaomiao really likes this longevity lock."
[I love it! It's pure gold. I can get a lot of money from selling it, enough to help many disaster victims.]
Xiao Yitang was entertaining her elder sister, Princess Huaiyang, when she heard this and her heart softened. She said to Zhufeng and Zhuying beside her, "Starting today, we will distribute porridge for a month to accumulate blessings for the little princess."
"yes."
Princess Huaiyang gave birth to three sons in a row, and looking at her little niece who was as beautiful as a New Year's picture doll, she felt so envious that her teeth ached.
"Why couldn't I have given birth to such a beautiful and adorable daughter?"
Jiang Shumiao sighed inwardly.
My aunt is so pitiful. My heartless cousin gouged out her eyes, smashed her bones, and threw her into a pit of scorpions...
Xiao Yitang's heart skipped a beat.
She did remember that when they were young in the palace, her older sister didn't particularly like Jiang Sixian. But after all, they were relatives, and they hadn't had any major unpleasant incidents.
Now that Jiang Sixian is dead, will Shen Zhixian, her daughter with whom she doesn't have a good relationship, really avenge her?
Princess Huaiyang then brought up another matter.
"Luckily, I had the foresight to snatch Manman as my daughter-in-law. Once my brother-in-law comes back, we'll get the two children married."
Jiang Shuman was betrothed to Lu Yanhe, the second son of Princess Huaiyang, since childhood. It was supposed to be a good thing, a marriage between two close relatives, but Lu Yanhe was not happy.
“My aunt just passed away, and the 24th day after her death is not yet over, yet she is already throwing such a grand full-moon celebration for her daughter. It’s hard not to think that she has no heart. Why doesn’t my cousin try to persuade her to stop?”
Jiang Shuman's face turned cold upon hearing this.
Jiang Sixian deserved to die. She was already showing mercy by not punishing the Shen family. Lu Yanhe, that fool who doesn't distinguish between relatives and outsiders, actually wants to seek justice for a sinner.
"I don't understand what you're saying, cousin. It's just a full moon celebration. The deceased is gone; must the living grieve for the rest of their lives and never experience joy?"
Lu Yanhe disliked her sharp edge, and his tone was somewhat cold and hard.
“I heard that my aunt was struck by lightning while visiting her that day and died from her injuries. Although it was an accident, it happened in the princess’s residence. As a mere junior, even out of filial piety, one should have avoided such things. Holding such a large banquet is probably inappropriate.”
Jiang Shuman wanted to slap him.
Jiang Sixian was such a vicious woman. It's a good thing she wasn't struck dead that day, otherwise her sister would have felt unlucky every year on her birthday.
"His Majesty has sent the Crown Prince to offer his congratulations, which shows that Mother's actions are in accordance with His Majesty's will. If you are dissatisfied, you may go to the palace to file a complaint with the Emperor."
Lu Yanhe blushed, annoyed and angry. "Women are beautiful when they are gentle and obedient. Cousin should learn more from Zhixian's gentleness and humility, instead of being so harsh and aggressive."
Jiang Shumiao had keen senses and heard every word of their conversation.
Wow, the ultimate love-struck simp has appeared!
Xiao Yitang: "???"
What is "love-obsessed"? And what kind of dog is a "simp"?
In the years after Jiang Shumiao's death, her consciousness did not dissipate, but instead traveled through three thousand worlds, learning many new words.
My future brother-in-law is such a simp, he simped until he got nothing in the end, his head was covered in green (cheated on), and he died a pathetic death.
Xiao Yitang realized something was wrong.
Judging from these words, does Lu Yanhe have someone he likes?
Jiang Shumiao was still clamoring in her heart.
[The engagement is off! He's not good enough for my sister. My sister is a general, and her true love is someone else.]
In the story, Jiang Sixian successfully framed someone, and Princess Huyang's mansion was surrounded by the Imperial Guards. Her unnamed youngest daughter was thrown to her death, and Xiao Yitang vomited blood and died.
Emperor Hongde urgently summoned Jiang Zhixu back to the capital and had him ambushed and killed.
The Empress Dowager committed suicide by swallowing gold, leaving behind a letter written in blood before her death. Perhaps out of filial piety, Emperor Hongde did not exterminate the entire Jiang clan. He sentenced the male members of the Jiang family to exile, and the female members to be sent to the brothel.
Princess Huaiyang was also spared from death.
Wen Zhixuan, that scoundrel of a male lead, flirted with Shen Zhixian but didn't take responsibility, and then married someone else. As a result, Lu Yan and this unlucky love-struck fool became the ones left holding the bag.
Her younger sister died because of Jiang Sixian's schemes. Princess Huaiyang naturally did not approve of the marriage. However, Lu Yanhe was a fool and threatened to kill himself, so he eventually married Shen Zhixian.
Princess Huaiyang disliked this daughter-in-law and moved directly to her own princess residence, where she was eventually tortured to death by Shen Zhixian.
Jiang Shumiao clenched her small fist.
This engagement must be called off!
Jiang Yining was furious. He ran up behind Lu Yanhe and rammed into him.
Lu Yanhe was caught off guard and fell flat on his face.
