She finally had a chance to start over, and she wouldn't allow herself to make the same mistake again!
That's right, she was reborn.
The sedan had just been lifted up and there was still some time before arriving at the destination, so Lin Chunhuan closed his eyes.
Lin had a daughter who was like a lotus emerging from the water, a fairy in a painting.
Everyone envied such beautiful praise, but the person who said this doggerel was not Lin Chunhuan, but her half-sister, Lin Chu Nuan.
Under the bright red veil, Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips, and her rapidly moving eyes revealed her inner restlessness.
When she was five years old, her mother fell seriously ill and passed away before she even lived a year. Less than two months later, her father brought a woman and two children home.
A girl and an infant boy.
That girl was less than a year younger than her!
It was then that Lin Chunhuan realized that the love she had always believed between her parents was fake. Her father did not openly take a concubine, but he had already kept a mistress outside.
Even when his mother was seriously ill, he made that woman pregnant with a second child!
She didn't understand, she made a fuss, and even thought about killing the woman.
The result of this was that she was eventually sent to a nunnery hundreds of miles away. For a full ten years, the so-called father did not care about her life or death.
The first time he went to the nunnery to pick her up, he wanted her to marry Lin Chu Nuan!
Lin Chunhuan took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress the depression in his heart. It was the same in his previous life. Lin Chunan was known as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, and even the current emperor had heard of her name.
So not long after Lin Chu Nuan came of age, the emperor personally granted the marriage, requiring the Lin girl to marry the Xiao boy!
But Lin Chu Nuan was not willing to do that?!
Prince Pingyang Xiao Cen is a friend of the current emperor for life and death, and he has also served as his successor. He is the only king of a different surname in the Yun Kingdom. The emperor trusts this brother wholeheartedly.
He was especially fond of Xiao Cen's only son, Prince Pingyang's Xiao Jin'an.
After all, they are a noble family, and not everyone can be the Crown Prince's consort. Besides, the Lin family is just a mediocre fourth-rank provincial government official, so it can be considered as marrying up to the royal family.
But Lin Chu Nuan was proud of her beauty and was always eyeing the position of prince's wife or even crown princess, so naturally she looked down upon the Xiao family.
Let’s talk about Xiao Jinan again. He was a promising young man, but during an anti-bandit campaign he met a female doctor and was determined to marry her.
With such things happening in the past, her so-called father and stepmother certainly couldn't bear to let their precious daughter, whom they had raised so lovingly, marry and compete with that female doctor.
It's hard for those two people to remember that the Lin family has more than one daughter.
In addition to Lin Chu Nuan, there is also the eldest daughter of the Lin family who was sent to a nunnery since she was young and has not returned home for ten years!
Anyway, the emperor only mentioned a girl from the Lin family when he granted the marriage, and he didn't specify which daughter it was.
When it comes to getting married, it naturally doesn't make sense for a younger sister to marry before an older sister. These remarks really fooled the emperor.
Prince Pingyang naturally would not allow a woman of ill-gotten origins to enter the palace. Not to mention becoming the Crown Prince's consort, she was not even qualified to be a concubine. This matter caused quite a stir.
It was so big that it reached the ears of the emperor.
As soon as the imperial decree granting the marriage came down, everyone quieted down.
The emperor believed that the father and son of the Xiao family gave him face and took a step back. Xiao Jinan married the daughter of the main wife as his principal wife, thus saving the reputation of the royal family.
The girl from the Lin family has the title of the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, so Xiao Jinan will not suffer any loss. Besides, the Lin family is not of high status, so they will not mistreat the female doctor in the future. Everyone is happy!
However, all this was just the emperor's self-righteousness.
Although she was still in the bridal sedan, Lin Chunhuan knew that when the sedan arrived at the gate, there would not even be anyone from the Xiao family to open the door.
On the first day of her wedding, she would become the object of everyone's ridicule.
And, this is just the beginning.
She could not forget how hard she had worked to take care of Xiao Jinan and how she had been virtuous and kind all day long, but Xiao Jinan had never set foot in her room until his death.
She could not forget how the female doctor pretended to beg for peace but drugged her and slandered her for committing adultery with the groom!
She could not forget how Xiao Jinan used his family punishment on her, beating her legs to a pulp and sending her back to the Lin family with a divorce letter.
She also could not forget the disgusted look in Lin Chu Nuan's eyes when she looked at her, and she happily took the dowry left to her by her mother and became the prince's concubine!
The sharp nails pierced his palm, and the pain brought Lin Chunhuan back to his senses.
In her previous life, she died among a group of beggars. Because of her face, even though Xiao Jinan never even looked at her, Lin Chunuan still felt threatened by her face.
The prince was a man who had no resistance to beauty, and Lin Chu Nuan knew this clearly, otherwise she would not be qualified to be the prince's concubine.
So before her wedding, Lin Chu Nuan chose to destroy everything that made her feel threatened.
Lin Chunhuan's face was scratched, and he was drugged and thrown into a group of beggars.
"My dear sister, look at you. You have never tasted a man in your life. Now you are disabled and ugly. As your sister, of course I have to help you."
Lin Chunuan's devilish whisper still rang in her ears.
Lin Chunhuan tried her best to control the trembling of her body and clenched her teeth. She had not expected that the curse that was so strong that it burst out of her chest before she died would come true.
It’s a pity that I came back a little late.
If it was before her wedding, she would never jump into the Xiao family's den of tigers and wolves again.
"Stop the sedan!"
The noise outside brought Lin Chunhuan back to his senses, and then there was the sound of matchmaker knocking on the door.
Of course, Lin Chunhuan could also hear the discussions of the people not far away.
"Isn't Prince Pingyang marrying his princess today? Why isn't there even a red silk hanging in the palace? What does this mean?"
"You don't know yet?" The commoner who was being questioned became even more excited. "It is said that the Lin family played a trick. The one who was married off was not the most beautiful woman, Lin Chu Nuan, but the eldest daughter of the Lin family!"
"Yes, yes, yes, he said his name was Huan."
"Speaking of the eldest daughter's appearance, she's plain-looking, and the Crown Prince doesn't even look down on her. Even though the Emperor granted her a marriage, he didn't even give her the slightest bit of respect. Not to mention welcoming the bride, there wasn't even anyone to open the door."
"That's right. If it were me, I wouldn't be happy either. Who would be happy if the beautiful woman I had just got flew away?"
"But the prince is not happy about it. Why doesn't even the prince show up?"
"The prince is probably still patrolling the western suburbs..."
Lin Chunhuan didn't know whether these people were talking too loudly or her hearing had improved after her rebirth, but the discussions of these passersby sounded clear to her.
There is no doubt that Xiao Cen and the emperor dote on Xiao Jinan.
The Xiao family only has this one heir, who else should they favor if not him?
It was because Xiao Cen never married in his life that even Xiao Jinan was the child he adopted on the battlefield, the only one, so Xiao Jinan dared to act recklessly.
