"Miss, the eldest young lady is being too unfair! She blocked your invitation to the flower banquet at the Vice Minister's residence and won't let you go." A crisp voice rang in my ears.
Mo Qian slowly opened her eyes at this moment, and then saw a maid with her hair in two buns in front of her, saying something indignantly.
Furthermore, upon looking around, Mo Qian realized that she was in an ancient boudoir, and thus knew that she had come to ancient times.
"Miss, don't you think the eldest young lady is going too far? She just won't let you go for no reason." The little maid continued to complain, her voice tinged with anger.
"Okay, I understand. I'm a little tired now. I'll lie down for a while and wake me up in half an hour."
Mo Qian spoke to the little maid, her face showing a hint of fatigue and her voice tinged with weariness.
"Yes, Miss. Then I will go down first. You should rest first. I will come back to serve you when it is time."
The maidservant continued, her previously somewhat annoyed expression now showing concern.
"Okay, you can go down now," Mo Qian said, then got up from the chair and walked to the large bed in the room.
She was also excused from the maid's attempt to serve her to sleep.
After the maid left the room, Mo Qian was left alone.
Mo Qian lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and began to receive the original owner's memories.
The original owner's name was Mo Qian, a concubine's daughter in the Suning Earl's mansion, and the second young lady of the mansion.
The female lead is Mo Ran, the eldest daughter of the Suning Earl's family.
In the first playthrough, the female protagonist and the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan's family have been betrothed since childhood.
It was her mother who secretly plotted to help the mother of the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan's family during a trip to offer incense, which led to their connection.
This directly led to the marriage between the female lead and the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan.
However, things can change in an instant. When the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan was seven years old, his mother passed away.
After that, the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion welcomed a new mistress!
Nowadays, because the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan rarely sees outsiders, rumors circulate in the city that he is physically weak, takes medicine all year round, and is unable to walk properly!
According to the servants in the Marquis's residence, this is indeed true!
After the female protagonist comes of age, the matter of marriage will be brought into the open.
However, according to the investigation, the female lead was very unwilling to marry into that family!
In addition, at that time, the original owner was favored by a lady from a scholarly family at a banquet because of her beauty and intelligence. She wanted to marry her, and the person she was betrothed to was a handsome top scholar!
Upon seeing this, the female protagonist naturally felt dissatisfied, believing that the original owner's marriage was better than hers!
After all, the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan's family, although born as the legitimate son, was in a very awkward position after his stepmother gave birth to another child!
Therefore, the female protagonist is very dissatisfied with this marriage!
Later, she begged her mother, the mistress of the Suning Marquis's mansion, to find a way to make her and the original owner's wedding day the same day!
After that, they were swapped!
The original owner was sent to the Marquis's mansion, while the female protagonist was married off to the top scholar.
However, what happened next was far beyond the female lead's expectations!
The reason why the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion acted the way the rumors spread outside the mansion was ultimately to show weakness, avoid persecution from his stepmother, and secretly accumulate strength!
After the Marquis of Dingyuan died on the battlefield, the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan took the opportunity to overthrow his stepmother and send his stepson away as well.
After all those people were dealt with, the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan inherited the title of Marquis and became the new Marquis of Dingyuan. The original owner of the body also became the Marquis's wife, who enjoyed unparalleled prestige!
After the female protagonist becomes the wife of the top scholar, her husband also becomes a fifth-rank official. When he sees the original owner of the body, he has to bow to her!
Therefore, the female protagonist is very jealous of the original owner!
She believed that the original owner of this body had stolen her position as the Marquis's wife!
However, it was too late at this point. No matter how unwilling the female protagonist was, she could only regret it alone!
Later, as the top scholar took one beautiful concubine after another, the female protagonist became obsessed with the power struggles within the household. In the end, she was outmatched and outmaneuvered, collapsing on her sickbed!
On his deathbed, he was still regretting that he shouldn't have switched the wedding arrangements!
Otherwise, the position of the Marquis's wife should be hers!
She died with resentment, but unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes again, she was back to the time before their arranged marriage!
In the second playthrough, this time, the female lead did not cause trouble on her wedding day, nor did she change the wedding arrangements!
Therefore, the female protagonist smoothly married into the Marquis's mansion!
After marrying into the Marquis's mansion, the female protagonist knew beforehand that the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan was an imposter.
Therefore, when they were together, she did not expose him, but instead acted as if she did not look down on the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion!
We stand by each other through thick and thin!
In this way, through these actions, the female protagonist gradually won the heart of the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion.
Later, the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan tripped up his stepmother and stepsister and became the Marquis of Dingyuan. The female lead also became the Marquis's wife!
Because of their previous affection, the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan doted on him!
So later on, the female protagonist got what she wanted!
However, the more successful the female protagonist's life became, the more she resented the original owner of the body!
So, later on, the female protagonist had the idea of taking revenge on the original owner!
After investigation, the female protagonist learned that the top scholar, like in his previous life, also took beautiful concubines in his backyard.
Unlike the female protagonist's choice, the original owner simply ignored her and lived with only the daughter she gave birth to!
When the female protagonist saw this, she tried to drag the original owner into the vortex of power struggles within the household, starting with the original owner's daughter!
He framed the woman in the backyard for the rash that appeared on the original owner's daughter, in order to escalate the conflict between the two parties!
In the end, he did not disappoint the female lead's expectations. Because of this incident, the original owner also hated the women in the backyard to the bone!
Then began the struggle with the women in his backyard!
Finally, even though the original owner had a slight advantage in the struggle due to the position of the main mother, she still suffered heavy losses!
The maids who came with her as part of her dowry all died in the end, and her daughter was sickly and listless all day long.
She herself wasn't much better off; her body had also suffered a lot of damage!
Only after seeing this did the female protagonist feel satisfied and withdraw the people she had placed in the top scholar's mansion. After that, she stopped paying attention to the original owner's situation.
She devoted her energy to raising her two sons and deepening her relationship with the Marquis of Dingyuan.
And so, the heroine's two sons later became outstanding individuals, skilled in both literature and martial arts!
The heroine's feelings for the Marquis of Dingyuan also grew stronger day by day, and in the end, they achieved a lifelong commitment to each other!
She was the envy of young women and wives both inside and outside the capital!
Because the original owner and the female owner came from the same family, their lives after marriage became a contrast, causing much sighing both inside and outside the capital!
