Jiang Yi rolled her eyes. She was very tired from running around in two worlds. She didn't even want to talk now.
The system smiled awkwardly, and soon changed the subject: "I will introduce the basic situation of the next world to the host."
[The Eighth World: A Beautiful Concubine Entering the Palace by Design*The Emperor Without an Heir]
The original owner was born into a merchant family in Jiangnan. Her fiancé Xu Ke lost his father at a young age and was supported by the Jiang family to study.
During this year, Xu Ke went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, and there was no news from him for nearly a year.
The original owner's mother died of illness, and the original owner was not accepted by her stepmother, so she went north to find Xu Ke and temporarily lived in her aunt's house.
The original owner's aunt was the concubine of the fifth house of the Duke of Huguo's mansion, which was at its peak at that time. Because the wife of the main wife was infertile, her aunt gave birth to three sons for Master Song Wu. In addition, the three sons were respectful and obedient, and never played tricks. Therefore, Master Song Wu and his wife Song Wu still gave her aunt face.
The original owner temporarily lived in the fifth branch of the Song family, and no one in the Song family was dissatisfied.
The original owner was even more cautious in this family. She never went out in public and only asked the fifth master of the Song family to help her find Xu Ke's whereabouts. She planned to leave the Duke's Mansion and live a simple life with her fiancé after finding him.
But things did not go as planned. By chance one day, the original owner met Song Yu, the prince of the Duke's Mansion, who came to look for the fifth son. Song Yu fell in love with her at first sight and often came to talk to her under the pretext of looking for the fifth son.
The original owner was scared to death at that time. She knew her identity, and she had a fiancé. Although Song Yu did not say it explicitly, the original owner could feel it.
She bravely rejected Song Yu and asked him not to talk to her again in the future.
At first, Song Yu did not come to find her, but later Song Yu took advantage of the alcohol to force himself on her. Although he was stopped by the servants of the Song family, their affair was known to the elders of the Song family.
The original owner's aunt was the first to be scolded. The original owner did not want to implicate his aunt and was ready to leave.
But Song Yu unexpectedly told the Duke of Huguo and his wife that he wanted to marry the original owner.
He would not get up from the ground until the Duke and his wife agreed.
Song Yu even committed suicide to express his determination.
How could the Duke of Huguo allow Song Yu to marry a merchant girl? Not to mention marrying her, even having her as a concubine was not allowed before Song Yu got married.
They didn't think their son was wrong, they just thought it was the original owner who seduced Song Yu.
Coincidentally, at this time, Xu Ke also met the original owner by chance.
The fact is that Xu Ke won the third place in the imperial examination last year. Not only that, he was also noticed by the eldest princess, the daughter of his mother, the Empress Dowager, and became her husband's son-in-law.
Not only that, Xu Ke also changed his name to Xu Ke, so Master Song Wu never found him.
Xu Ke felt guilty and could not tolerate the original owner destroying everything he had now, so he wanted to kill the original owner.
The Song family also wanted to kill the original owner, but Song Yu looked like he was ready to die without the original owner, so they did not dare to take action against him.
When Xu Ke attacked the original owner, he was discovered by the Song family.
The Song family is the empress dowager's maternal family and the eldest princess's uncle's family. The Song family quickly clarified the relationship and warned Xu Ke not to act rashly.
It happened that the new emperor was holding a beauty contest at that time, so the two sides decided to send the original owner to the palace.
If the original owner entered the palace, Song Yu would have to give up his thoughts on the original owner, but at the same time, Song Yu would not be too shocked.
The new emperor's empress was a daughter of the Song family. Once Song Yu's feelings for the original owner faded, the empress could easily kill the original owner.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
On the second day after the original owner entered the palace, Queen Song had her thrown into the water.
The imperial palace and the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion were far apart, so even if the original owner had died, it would have taken a long time for Song Yu to receive the news.
The original owner died so quietly.
She was drowned in the water of Taiye Lake in the middle of winter. She struggled hard to get out, but was pushed down again and again until she finally ran out of strength and sank.
Her desire to survive is very strong. The original owner escaped from the Jiang family because she wanted to live. From Jiangnan to Jiangbei and then to the Song family, she suffered a lot along the way, but she had no choice.
Her mother died, and her stepmother was her father's cousin. She had been in collusion with her father for a long time, but she was suppressed by her mother and had no status all her life.
Her stepmother wished her dead, and her father listened to her.
They set a fire outside her room and she escaped from the house during the night.
Her maternal grandfather had passed away a long time ago, and the head of the household was her mother's cousin from the next room, with whom she had a very distant relationship.
The original owner's only hope at the time was Xu Ke. When the original owner's mother was alive, she treated Xu Ke very well, providing him with food, clothing, and education. Xu Ke was always polite.
When Xu Ke first went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he and her still exchanged letters, but later on, the correspondence gradually faded away.
So the original owner thought that Xu Ke might have encountered something.
Until her death, she had no idea that her fiancé had become the emperor's consort and was plotting with the Song family to take her life.
She also thought that no matter what Xu Ke encountered, she could face it together with Xu Ke.
She didn't know that she had been very close to Xu Ke. Her fiancé had abandoned her long ago. Her body sank to the bottom of Taiye Lake. She didn't understand why when she died. She had been an honest and upright person and had never thought of provoking anyone. Why did she have to go through all this now?
This may be the sadness of being a small person. As a small person, your life is so insignificant in the eyes of those powerful people and can be easily wiped out.
