After the original body recovered, he had missed this provincial examination. The next examination would be in three years, and plus he had to observe mourning, so he could only wait for the provincial examination three years later.
During this period, Tang Zijun took meticulous care of the original body. The two were alone for a long time, and as a single woman and a single man, bad rumors spread.
Tang Zijun's mother was fanning the flames, making the original body feel guilty and think that she had brought disaster to Zijun's reputation. The final result was that the original body married Tang Zijun as her husband.
At the beginning, Tang Zijun pretended to be gentle and wholeheartedly followed the original body. They had a sweet time together. But when the original body began to review his lessons day and night, he began to neglect Tang Zijun.
Tang Zijun also took advantage of the fact that his original self, who was oblivious to the world outside, started to study and gradually took control of the Su family's property. He poached from his wife's family and used it to support his own mother's family. Of course, all this was done in secret. By the time his original self found out, half of the Su family's property had already gone into his aunt's pocket.
She was originally a scholar and was born weak, so she couldn't afford to break up with her aunt. But she was not stupid. She knew that she had fallen into her aunt's trap, so she divorced Tang Zijun on the grounds that she would have no children after marrying into the Su family.
The original body's aunt was naturally unhappy and brought people to make trouble, but the original body was also somewhat disheartened at the time. Her only relative was plotting against her, so she sold her assets in Qingshan County and took her confidants to take part in the provincial examination.
Tang Zijun's family made a fuss for two days but got nothing. When they went there on the third day, the tightly closed door of the Su Mansion was opened, but the Su Mansion had changed hands and became the Zhuang Mansion. The other party was the county magistrate's in-law, so they dared not make a fuss anymore and could only give up. After all, they had already taken half of the Su family's property, so they did not lose out.
In order to get Tang Zijun to remarry, they went around the county to discredit her reputation, saying that she was heartless and ungrateful, and that she had dumped her husband because she thought she could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. It was a waste of her aunt's wholehearted support for the daughter of her deceased brother. In any case, her reputation was almost ruined.
The original person held his breath in his heart. He passed the provincial examination successfully and became a scholar. Although his ranking was not very high, he still became a scholar, which meant he did not disappoint his parents' expectations.
Because he passed the examination to become a scholar, the next step for him was to prepare to take part in the metropolitan examination. At this time, an examiner of the provincial examination took a fancy to him and thought he was worth the investment, so he betrothed one of his illegitimate sons to him.
The original body had no elders around her, and there were only servants serving her, who could not make decisions for her. Under the other party's soft and hard tactics, she married this bastard.
However, this groom is a timid and indecisive person. He just does whatever his mother tells him to do. Not only does he not help his mother, he often holds her back.
The original body still had some luck. He passed the imperial examination with the last place and became a tribute scholar. This result made the officials who invested in advance very happy.
In the final palace examination, the original body continued to use his good luck and successfully passed the exam and became the last one in the second class. After all, he became a Jinshi and had one foot in the court.
Everyone in the Su family was naturally excited. They set off firecrackers to celebrate and accepted congratulations from all sides, especially the second husband. From then on, his status rose rapidly and he became more and more proud. This showed the difference between the legitimate son and the illegitimate son who were carefully cultivated by the family.
The original body was also very self-aware. She knew her own weaknesses and was not suitable for officialdom, so she planned to get into a low-ranking government office and become a sixth-rank official.
But her mother-in-law thought highly of her and got her a position of power of the sixth rank, which was like putting her on the fire. Although she seemed powerful, she had to be cautious all the time, as many eyes were watching her.
She herself was cautious, fearing that she might make a mistake, but her illegitimate husband was not like that. When conducting his husband's diplomacy, he was very high-profile and offended people he shouldn't have offended. He was tripped by others and fell into a trap. Not only did he implicate his original self, but he also caused her to almost take off her official uniform.
In desperation, he had to give away all his family wealth to keep his official position, but because of the bad influence, he was demoted to a remote place and became a seventh-rank county magistrate.
The original body could accept being an official in a cold and bitter place, but the illegitimate husband could not. He proposed a divorce directly, took away the only money the original body had left, and returned to her parents' home.
In the end, the original body served as a county magistrate in a remote and cold place. He had neither merits nor demerits, but his body could not bear it. He died after a serious illness, and the Su family also ceased to have descendants.
Lianyi thought that was the end of it, but unfortunately her original self was reborn thanks to the merits accumulated by her parents' good deeds. This time she avoided her aunt's scheme, left Qingshan County with her family property, successfully passed the provincial examination and became a scholar. Then, when the chief examiner wanted to marry his illegitimate son to her, she had already taken her people to the imperial city to prepare for the upcoming palace examination.
This time, because she knew the contents of the test paper in advance, she became a first-class Jinshi and also got a third place, which made her proud and swept away her previous unhappiness.
Because of this, the original body was favored by the Queen's youngest son. After all, they were of the same age and the original body was unmarried, so the Queen directly ordered her to marry the prince.
The original body thought this was not bad. After all, she was the prince's wife. She had status and position, and her position was transcendent, so she would not be implicated.
As a result, she was too happy too early. The prince she married was so ambitious that he even got involved in the fight for the throne and supported the second princess.
In the fight for the throne, the Second Princess was defeated, and eventually the Crown Princess became the final winner. When the reckoning began, the original prince's husband directly put the blame on her, saying that the original body was greedy for power, and wanted to compete for the credit of following the Phoenix. As a husband, he could not stop her and could only support her. He was forced to do so. In the end, the original body was beheaded, and the prince was sent to worship Buddha.
The original body was filled with resentment. She had lived two lifetimes, and in the end, she failed because of her husband. Each time she failed, she failed more and more. She didn't understand why she had fallen to this point. Her resentment did not dissipate, and she was eventually captured by the Space-Time Administration, which led to this mission.
After Lianyi received the other party's memories of two lifetimes, he contacted Shijiu and said:
"What is the original body's wish?"
"Choose a good wife."
"Is that the only request?"
Lian Yi asked suspiciously.
"With this one request, she doesn't want wealth and glory anymore, she just wants a caring lover."
Shijiu said with a smile.
"Is that according to her standards of beauty, or mine?"
Ripple continued to ask.
"Of course I will follow your instructions. After all, the other party failed so completely that he even lost his life twice. He doubted his own judgment, so he took on this mission."
"I understand. Since you let me choose, then she shouldn't regret it. After all, she still wants to come back. You should explain it clearly to the original body." (End of this chapter)
