-New World-
Dan Ruo opened her eyes and found herself surrounded by a sea of red. She lowered her eyes and noticed the bright red wedding dress she was wearing.
She lifted the veil and looked around. The new house with the wedding character on it was simple and elegant.
Only the last section of the auspicious dragon and phoenix candle on the table was left burning, indicating that it was already late at night.
A pretty little maid was dozing at the foot of the bed.
Dan Ruo took the opportunity to call upon the Samsara Pearl to learn about the situation in this world.
The original owner was Lin Danruo, the eldest daughter of Lin Cenyi, the Minister of Dali Temple. She was known as the most talented woman in the capital.
For some unknown reason, the poems written by the original owner in her boudoir were leaked outside.
The poem is full of love for the prime minister of the time, Mu Peiyuan. Not only does it contain his name, but it also implies her determination to marry no one but him.
After the news came out, the original owner's reputation was damaged, and the family that Mrs. Lin had been looking up to for the original owner also stopped responding.
After Mrs. Lin scolded the original owner, the original owner jumped into the lake. It was the illegitimate second daughter Lin Shushu who jumped in to save the original owner.
Lin Cenyi loved his eldest daughter very much, so he went to the palace to ask the emperor for an imperial decree to grant her marriage.
Because he knew that if he went to Prime Minister Mu Peiyuan to discuss the marriage between the two families, he would definitely be rejected. Mu Peiyuan had rejected countless noble ladies over the years.
Mu Peiyuan was born into a farming family and was raised by his widowed mother and the villagers.
However, he was very talented in studying. He was the only top scholar in the imperial examinations in recent decades. He entered the official career at the age of 22. Now at the age of 32, he has reached the highest rank and become the prime minister, the head of the civil officials.
He was extremely talented and had a handsome and elegant appearance. Over the years, even the princess wanted to marry Mu Peiyuan, but was politely rejected by Mu Peiyuan.
There are many speculations about why Mu Peiyuan did not marry. Some say that he is a homosexual, and some say that he has a deceased childhood sweetheart and that is why he remains faithful to her.
Although various speculations have never been confirmed, from Lin Cenyi's point of view, he is indeed not a good match. He is 32 years old and only one year younger than him.
If his daughter had not attempted suicide, he would not have risked his reputation today and insisted on obtaining the imperial decree granting the marriage.
Originally, the emperor did not want to grant Lin Cenyi the imperial decree of marriage, but Lin Cenyi was his former study partner and they had a deep relationship, and this was the first time he had asked him for help.
Lin Cenyi said that the original owner had already attempted suicide at home once, and if she didn't marry Mu Peiyuan, she might find an opportunity to commit suicide again.
If no one saves her next time, he will really lose his daughter.
When Lin Cenyi said this, he became very emotional and tears flowed uncontrollably. The seven-foot tall and burly man grabbed the emperor's sleeve and cried like a big child.
The emperor recalled that he had also held the little girl from Lin Cenyi's family in his arms.
Mingming was a cute and lovely little chubby girl when she was little. She smiled at everyone she met and loved to be held. How could she become so stubborn when she grew up and hurt her father's heart for a man?
The emperor finally agreed to Lin Cenyi's request and immediately issued an imperial edict to Mu Peiyuan.
Mu Peiyuan accepted the imperial edict without showing any resistance. After all, as the emperor's loyal minister, his greatest support was the emperor's trust.
In fact, the original owner had never liked Mu Peiyuan. She didn't know why the poem with her private seal was circulated. She had never written such a poem.
She was framed and scolded by her mother, and was in a bad mood. Her half-sister Lin Shushu said she would accompany her to relax in the garden.
When she reached the lake, she seemed to slip and fell into the lake. Lin Shushu jumped into the water to save herself.
She obviously couldn't swim but still saved herself immediately, which was very touching for the original owner.
When the original owner was rescued, the doctor in the mansion had diagnosed that he was injured and would have difficulty having children.
Mrs. Lin ordered that the matter be kept secret, but she was always worried about her daughter's marriage.
The original owner learned of her father's misunderstanding and asked for an imperial decree to marry Mu Peiyuan.
There was absolutely no possibility of reversing the imperial edict her father had obtained. For the sake of her family, she had to marry him. However, she felt sad and stayed in the room all day crying.
Lin Shushu proposed to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion with her as a concubine.
It means that the original owner was injured and had difficulty in having children, so she gave birth to a child for her sister and helped her sister live a good life in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mrs. Lin was really grateful to this concubine's daughter.
The original owner was even more sincere to Lin Shushu.
Little did they know that all this was Lin Shushu's plan.
After Lin Shushu met Mu Peiyuan once when she was thirteen years old, she became madly infatuated with him, but she knew that it would be difficult for her to marry Mu Peiyuan as the concubine's daughter of the Dali Temple Minister.
The Lin family would not arrange for her to marry Mu Peiyuan, and would not help her even if she wanted to be Mu Peiyuan's concubine.
Upon learning that Madam Lin had already introduced the original owner to the Prince of Ning'an, Madam Ning'an was very satisfied with the original owner.
Mrs. Lin revealed that she wanted to wait until the Spring Examination was over so that someone could choose a candidate for her.
Lin Shushu felt that she could no longer sit and wait for death.
She took advantage of the original owner's trust in her, stole the original owner's private seal, forged the poem, and deliberately revealed it to the cousin of Ning'an Marquis's Mansion who liked the prince.
Sure enough, this cousin seized the opportunity and made a big fuss about the matter. The original owner's reputation became worse, and the wife of the Marquis of Ning'an gave up on choosing the original owner as her daughter-in-law.
Lin Shushu then lured the restless original owner to the lake where oil had been sprinkled in advance, creating the illusion that the original owner was seeking death. At the same time, she delayed time in the lake, causing damage to the original owner's body.
Then, while the original owner was still asleep, she exaggerated the matter in front of Lin Cenyi, and Lin Cenyi asked for an imperial decree to grant the marriage for the original owner.
