Chapter 91 The Marquis's Commoner Wife 1
The original owner was an ordinary person, the only extraordinary thing about her was that she had a face that could launch a thousand ships. She had three older brothers, all of whom were already married. Her parents were harmonious. In addition to farming, she would also go to the city to sell food to earn some pocket money.
Ning's mother was an excellent pastry maker. During the off-season, she would make some and sell them in the city, sometimes to her three older brothers and sometimes to her sisters-in-law.
On one occasion, the original owner wanted to buy some fabric, so he went to the city with his sister-in-law.
As a result, the original owner was targeted by a spoiled young master. The young master made suggestive remarks, and the original owner was so angry that she slapped him.
That young master was the little tyrant of the family; he had never been beaten since he was a child.
How could he swallow this insult after being hit by a woman? He immediately tried to strip the original owner of her clothes and humiliate her.
The original owner kicked the other party and took the opportunity to escape. The playboy, after recovering from the pain, immediately led a few lackeys to chase after him. Just when it seemed that the original owner was about to be caught, the Marquis of Zhennan appeared.
He rode a tall horse and rescued the original owner from dire straits like a peerless hero. The original owner fell in love with him at first sight, and the Marquis of Zhennan also fell in love with the original owner. After dealing with that playboy, he took the original owner back to the Marquis of Zhennan's mansion.
Han Yongjin wanted to marry the original owner of the body as his legal wife, but he encountered obstacles from the old lady because she wanted to marry her niece to her son as his legal wife.
Then the original owner could only become a concubine.
Concubines could be bought and sold in ancient times.
Some wealthy families even keep such women specifically for entertaining guests.
Anyone who likes it can take it away, and if they don't like it anymore, they can resell or buy it again.
Because of the life-saving grace, the original owner was almost completely at the mercy of the Marquis of Zhennan. Moreover, the Marquis of Zhennan promised her that he would only have her as his woman for the rest of his life, and that marrying his cousin was only to fulfill his mother's wish. The original owner actually agreed.
After the Marquis married his wife, the original owner of this body was also carried into the mansion in a small sedan chair.
For more than a year afterward, the Marquis of Zhennan did indeed take great care of the original owner as promised, and favored only one person, never entering his cousin's room, let alone showing her any affection.
Soon, the original owner became pregnant. On the day of delivery, the midwife reversed the baby's position, which was originally intended for a natural birth. The original owner suffered a postpartum hemorrhage and died, resulting in the deaths of both mother and child.
...
When Ning Yan transmigrated, she was being chased by a playboy who was about to humiliate her. Han Yongjin spotted the woman, who was radiant despite her coarse clothes, and spurred his horse forward, lashing the playboy's arm with his whip. Then, with a flick of the whip, he carried Ning Yan onto his horse!
Surrounded by warmth and fragrance, Han Yongjin was momentarily stunned. Ning Yan was quite frightened and, in a panic, leaned against the man's chest.
Han Yongjin was immediately distracted, and couldn't help but put his other hand around Ning Yan's waist. "Don't be afraid, this Marquis will protect you."
Ning Yan was momentarily stunned, but upon hearing this, she immediately sat up straight, her face full of bewilderment. Having just escaped death, she could only thank Han Yongjin in a trembling voice, "Thank you so much for saving me, my benefactor."
When his arms were suddenly empty, Han Yongjin felt a pang of disappointment, and he immediately vented his anger on the纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled, dissolute young man).
"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, these people dared to abduct a young woman right there in the street! Their crimes are unforgivable! Guards, take them to the authorities immediately and sentence them accordingly!"
How should it be judged?
The punishment ranged from caning to exile; even if the other party came from a wealthy family, a beating was still inevitable.
Han Yongjin's entourage immediately stepped forward, arrested the men, and sent them to the government office.
"Oh, my benefactor, can you let me down? I... I need to find my sister-in-law."
In the original owner's life, she foolishly allowed Han Yongjin to bring her back to the manor. Ning Yan doesn't want to be that kind of fool.
Han Yongjin deliberately spurred the horse's flanks, and Ning Yan gasped in surprise, leaning back and falling into the man's arms again.
Han Yongjin took the opportunity to put his arm around her, and at that moment he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction and peace. "I will let you off the horse now, but I don't know if that playboy who bullied you has any accomplices. If you run into those people, I don't know if anyone will be able to save you."
Ning Yan: ...Very good, as expected of a great general who leads troops into battle, you are really cunning!
The original owner was just a weak and ignorant country girl. She was already terrified by what happened today. After being frightened by the Marquis, she no longer cared about the proper separation between men and women.
She directly begged the Marquis of Zhennan to take her to find her sister-in-law.
Before encountering those纨绔 (spoiled brats), her sister-in-law saw that the original owner was sweating a lot and it was already noon, so she went to buy her some food. Now that she couldn't see her, she must be extremely anxious.
Little did she know that the Marquis of Zhennan was already overwhelmed with emotion; after only knowing her for a short time, he had developed an obsession with her!
He wants her!
She deserves to be his!
Only by bringing her home and spending every day and night with her could he feel at ease!
Then, he began to try to get information out of Ning Yan.
Ning Yan pretended not to know and said everything she could, after all, the person behind her was her savior, and no normal person would be on guard.
Soon, Ning Yan found her sister-in-law. "My lord, it's my sister-in-law! Please let me down!"
Even though Han Yongjin was unwilling, he had no choice but to lift the person off the horse.
Sister-in-law Ning was frantic with worry when she saw Ning Yan being carried on a horse by a man. Her heart skipped a beat. "Little sister-in-law, where did you go? I couldn't find you after I finished shopping. I was so scared!"
Ning Yan ran to her sister-in-law's side, hugged her arm, and began to cry silently, "Sister-in-law, let's go home quickly, I'm so scared."
Sister-in-law Ning quickly patted her sister's arm. Her sister-in-law was not only beautiful, but also usually obedient and sensible. She had never cried like this before. Something must have happened.
She glanced at the man standing in front leading the horse, knowing that there were outsiders present and some questions were inappropriate to ask. "Alright, alright, let's go home now."
Little did he know, the Marquis of Zhennan was heartbroken to see Ning Yan crying. Those damned bastards had scared his woman.
He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I am Marquis Han Yongjin of Zhennan. Something did happen just now, and I am not at ease letting you two weak women go home. Why don't I escort you back?"
Ning's sister-in-law's first reaction was to refuse. In broad daylight, this man had just ridden his sister-in-law on a horse through the city, clearly with ill intentions.
However, I can't help it because my sister-in-law is such a naive and innocent girl!
“Sister-in-law, the Marquis is a good man. He helped me drive away the bad guys and even sent them to the authorities. He was worried that something might happen to me, so he took me to find you. Let’s let the Marquis of Zhennan escort us. What if we run into bad guys again?”
Sister-in-law Ning: ...I think the worst person is this so-called good person you're talking about!
Finally, it was the Marquis of Zhennan who hired a carriage for the two women to ride in. He rode a horse to protect them, and after about half an hour, they arrived at Ningjia Village on the outskirts of the capital.
After escorting her home, the Marquis of Zhennan was now considered to have accepted the family's presence. Ning Yan thanked him again, and Han Yongjin couldn't help but say, "Miss Ning keeps saying thank you. I feel that I can never repay this life-saving grace. I should repay it with my body!"
