"You should reflect on your actions in the ancestral hall tonight! You have brought shame upon our Ying family!"
A stern voice sounded in Ying Xixi's ears.
Then Ying Xixi felt her body being pushed hard and she fell heavily to the ground!
Then came the sound of a door closing and then the sound of it being locked.
When Ying Xixi opened her eyes, she found herself in an ancient ancestral hall.
There was a row of tablets on the altar in front of him, and the three incense sticks in the middle had not burned out yet and were still emitting smoke.
Ying Xixi looked around and found herself alone in the ancestral hall. Adding to the words that the voice had just spoken...
Well, it seems that the original owner had done something and was locked up in the ancestral hall to reflect on himself.
It’s okay if there’s no one around, it’s a good opportunity for her to absorb the storyline.
"System, transmit the storyline."
【OK. 】
This plane is an ancient fictional world.
The original owner was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister of Fufeng State. Logically speaking, the legitimate daughter should be the most favored one in the family.
But it’s different in the Ying family.
Because Prime Minister Ying, the original owner's father, favored his concubine over his wife, favored the concubine's daughter and hated the legitimate daughter born to his wife.
And the original owner also has a secret that few people know.
That is, she is infertile.
When the original owner was six years old, she went to the palace with her mother to meet the queen. She met the fifth prince Han Su, who was two years older than her.
Han Su was very naughty. When he saw the unfamiliar original owner, he pushed the original owner into the pond in the imperial garden without saying a word.
It was the middle of winter, and although the water in the pool had not yet frozen, it was icy cold!
This scene was seen by many palace servants and also by the original owner's mother, Zhao.
Zhao loved her daughter so much that before she could ask the palace maids to rescue the original owner, she jumped into the pool without hesitation and rescued the original owner.
The palace maids were so frightened that they immediately asked the imperial physician to examine Zhao's mother and daughter, and reported the matter to the emperor.
The imperial physician's diagnosis was that the original owner had difficulty getting pregnant when she grew up because of the cold air entering her body.
The original owner's mother, Zhao, had not been in good health to begin with. The cold air that entered her body caused her to be bedridden for the next ten years.
For the women of Fufeng State, their fertility is greater than heaven.
A woman who is unable to bear children will never find a husband and will never get married!
You may even be laughed at and insulted by people around you!
Many people in the palace witnessed the Fifth Prince Han Su inexplicably pushing the original owner into the pond, and he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.
So the emperor made the decision and arranged a marriage between the original owner and the fifth prince, and let the original owner marry the fifth prince and become his principal wife after she grew up and came of age.
This way, the Fifth Prince is also responsible.
No one else knew the inside story of this marriage except Zhao's mother and daughter, the emperor and the fifth prince, and several imperial physicians.
But at that time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Ying Sili had not yet favored his concubine too much and neglected his wife. He and his wife Zhao were respectful to each other.
So Zhao told Prime Minister Ying the inside story.
As luck would have it, this incident was heard by the five-year-old concubine's daughter Ying Zhuer.
Ying Zhu'er was young and didn't know what this meant, so she ran back to ask her mother. As a result, Lin, the prime minister's concubine, also knew the original owner's secret.
Lin was good at calculating, but she also knew that the original owner was still young. Even if she knew the original owner's secret, she couldn't do anything for the time being. It would be better for her to pretend that she knew nothing.
Wait for the right opportunity to use this secret as leverage!
After Zhao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the palace, she became bedridden and no medicine worked.
It was precisely because she was unable to serve Ying Sili that Ying Sili spent more and more time in his concubine Lin's room.
In addition, the concubine's daughter Ying Zhen'er was also good at sweet talk, which made her father Ying Sili like her even more.
On the contrary, the original owner, who had a lively personality, became more silent and inferior because she was unable to have children after falling into the water, and her relationship with her father Ying Sili, which was not very good to begin with, became even colder.
Gradually, because of Ying Sili's favor, the concubine Lin's status in the Ying Mansion became higher and higher.
Ying Sili also handed over the power of the family to Lin.
Zhao, the mistress of the house and the legal wife, became a complete decoration.
Lin started to manage the family. She treated the original owner's daughter well on the surface, but she also withheld things that belonged to the original owner in private.
Ying Sili favors his concubine and neglects his wife at home, but his image outside is still that of a man of integrity and love for his wife.
Later, the original owner grew up gradually. As she got along with the fifth prince Han Su, she fell in love with him and made mental preparations to become the prince's consort.
But the original owner didn't expect that Han Su was involved with her half-sister Ying Zhuer.
Even after their affair was discovered by the original owner, Han Su directly told the original owner that he really despised the original owner's infertility. He liked children very much, but the original owner could not give him a child.
Han Su said that he would be responsible for the original owner, but now the person he likes is Ying Zhuer, and he wants to make Ying Zhuer the prince's principal wife.
He asked the original owner to take the initiative to tell the emperor that she was willing to give up the position of the fifth prince's wife to Ying Zhuer and become a concubine.
The original owner couldn't believe that Han Su would actually say such a thing, and she couldn't believe that her half-sister was involved with her sister's fiancé!
The original owner said it was impossible on the spot.
Han Su directly announced that if the original owner did not do as he said, he would cancel the engagement with the original owner and make it public that the original owner was injured and unable to have children!
Make it impossible for the original owner to marry someone else!
The original owner still said that she would not give up the position of the main wife to Ying Zhuer, and she was also betting that Han Su would not tell this secret.
It’s just that the original owner guessed right and wrong.
Han Su did not tell her secret, but Ying Zhuer had someone spread the original owner's secret!
For a time, there was an uproar in the capital because the Prime Minister's daughter was unable to have children and was about to break off her engagement with the Fifth Prince.
After hearing this, Ying Sili scolded the original owner and locked her up in the ancestral hall to let her reflect on herself. After she had reflected on herself, she would go to the palace and tell the emperor that she voluntarily gave up her position as the principal wife to Ying Zhuer.
Ying Sili also had his own wishful thinking.
He only has two daughters. If both daughters can marry the fifth prince, no matter which daughter is favored, the one who benefits will be his Ying family!
The original owner couldn't believe that Han Su had really told her secret, and she didn't want to give Han Su to Ying Zhuer so easily.
Thinking of the situation she would face after leaving the ancestral hall, the disheartened original owner was so upset that she hanged herself in the ancestral hall!
After the original owner died, because he had too much resentment in his heart, his soul remained in the human world.
She saw her mother gasp for breath and passed away after hearing the news of her death...
