After Su Wanti died, her soul did not dissipate and no ghost came to take her away.
She didn't know where the gate to the underworld was, so she could only become a lonely ghost, wandering in the human world.
When she was a ghost, the place she went to most often was her residence in her lifetime, He Mansion.
Because of this, I discovered some things that I could never discover when I was a human being.
She was hastily buried by the He family the next day after her death.
On the third day, her mother-in-law Liu came to her room and took away all the valuables in her dowry.
A month later, He Anping heard the news that his wife had committed suicide and wrote a letter to his parents.
The letter said that he had hooked up with a noble man and would soon return to Beijing with the noble man. After returning to Beijing, he would rise to a high position and his future would be immeasurable.
Half a month later, He Anping returned to Beijing with the eldest princess.
It turned out that the war had ended long ago and He Anping could have returned to Beijing long ago, but he volunteered to guard the border.
Because, during a battle, he saved the eldest princess by chance.
Because of this, He Anping became acquainted with the eldest princess.
For some reasons, the eldest princess was punished to train at the border for three years. He Anping asked to stay and guard the border for three years.
The two of them stayed at the frontier and were very affectionate with each other. Now, it was time for the eldest princess to return to the capital.
The eldest princess asked He Anping to return to the capital with her and promised He Anping that after returning to the capital, she would report their love to the emperor and ask the emperor to grant them a marriage.
He Anping never told the eldest princess that he had already been married.
He wanted to be a royal consort.
How can being a small general guarding the frontier and not being valued by his superiors compare to being a royal consort?
Now, Su Wanti, who stayed in He Mansion, became a stumbling block in his climb up.
He knew Su Wanti's weak and submissive character, so he devised a plan to get rid of Su Wanti.
In the letter, he fabricated a lie and hinted to his parents that offering Su Wanti to the Regent could save his life.
If Su Wanti agreed, he could divorce her on the grounds of infidelity after returning to Beijing.
If Su Wanti disagrees, then she can only choose to commit suicide to maintain her innocence.
The regent was chosen because he has the greatest power in the current court and no one dares to offend him. Even if the Su family knew the inside story, they would not dare to attack the He family, let alone seek justice from the regent.
If he could get rid of Su Wanti perfectly, he could live happily with the eldest princess and become the son-in-law of the royal family of the Great Qi Kingdom.
Su Wanti waited for the day when He Anping returned to Beijing. Seeing his happy and complacent face, her heart was filled with anger and bitterness.
But Su Wanti, who became a ghost, was just a wild ghost and had no ability to scare people.
She was powerless and could only vent her anger by making a fuss towards He Anping.
It was on this day that the ghost messenger came.
Su Wanti reluctantly followed the ghost messenger to the underworld. She thought she would be reborn as a human again.
Unexpectedly, she did not embark on the path of reincarnation, but on the path of rebirth.
God has been kind to me!
Su Wanti lowered her eyes and clenched her fists.
Since God has forgiven my injustice and allowed me to be reborn, I cannot let this opportunity go to waste.
The He Mansion, the Su Mansion, the Regent...
I will not let anyone who pushes me into hell go!
The sound of night watchmen was heard in the distance, and the drum beat three times.
It's three o'clock in the morning.
There was silence all around, with only the creaking sound of the sedan chair that Su Wanti was riding in and the light and steady footsteps of the sedan chair carrier.
Su Wanti knew that this road led to the Regent's Palace.
The regent's name is Dugu Cang, and he is the most trusted minister of the late emperor.
It is said that three years ago, the late emperor personally led the army to fight. During one of the battles, the late emperor fell into the enemy's trap. It was Dugu Cang who risked his life and went deep into the enemy camp alone to rescue the late emperor.
From then on, the late emperor kept him by his side and attached great importance to him.
Dugu Cang was also a capable person. He started as a royal guard and in less than two years became the most trusted minister of the late emperor.
A year ago, the late emperor passed away and entrusted the eight-year-old prince to the care of the emperor before his death. He personally appointed Dugu Cang as regent and entrusted him to the care of the eight-year-old prince.
In name, Regent Dugu Cang is a powerful official second only to the emperor.
In fact, he was the real ruler of the Great Qi State.
The words that mother-in-law Liu said to Su Wanti are still ringing in her ears.
"The Regent loves beauty. With your looks, it will be easy for you to win his favor. Just listen to me, be humble, be gentle, and be kind. With your stunning face, any man will fall for you."
"When you two become close, you can ask him to save your husband's life. How could he refuse?"
Recalling this, a sneer appeared on Su Wanti's lips.
I never thought that my mother-in-law, who is usually very disciplined and law-abiding, would actually have the look of a brothel madam.
Liu, aren't you going to give me to the Regent to save your son?
Well then, I'll do as you say. I'll offer myself to the Regent and let him take your son's life!
He Anping, don’t you want to be a royal consort?
I want to see, if I tell the Regent that you have already married, deliberately concealed the fact of marriage, deceived the eldest princess, and fabricated false news with the intention of killing your wife, will he still let you marry the eldest princess?
By then, I'm afraid that not only will you not be able to become a royal consort, you won't even be able to save your life.
The atmosphere outside the sedan chair grew increasingly quiet as they were about to enter the Regent's Palace.
Su Wanti looked down at her clothes.
A moon-white dress with wide sleeves and a pomegranate-red skirt with scattered flowers.
