As the only son of the prime minister and his mother being a princess, her younger brother Xu Mingyao has been loved since childhood and has been placed with high hopes by his father.
Xu Mingyao had been bullying her since he was old enough to understand. Outside, he looked like a respectable and modest gentleman, but at home, only Xu Lingyi knew how evil and hypocritical he was.
He was only fourteen years old, and no less than ten maids had died at his hands.
In his previous life, Xu Lingyi cut off his reproductive roots, making his life worse than death. This could be considered revenge for himself, but he also paid a heavy price.
After being reborn in this life, she no longer has to hurt her enemies and herself.
She is just vicious and will do whatever she can to get revenge on anyone who hurts her.
If she was kind-hearted and simple-minded, how could she have survived in the Prime Minister's Mansion until today?
"Brother." Xu Lingyi lowered her head, as if she was particularly ashamed and uncomfortable because of his words.
"I know I'm ugly, and I know my status is not good. I'm willing to marry the deposed prince in Baozhu's place."
In the past, Xu Baozhu was the fiancée of the deposed prince, and she relied on this marriage to show off her power.
The prince was deposed and is now just a commoner. Xu Baozhu is proud and arrogant and cannot accept it at all.
She soon set her sights on the new crown prince Xiao Hengyuan, and relying on her beauty, she seduced Xiao Hengyuan.
That’s how the play came about.
Xu Baozhu wanted her to go to the abolished prince's mansion, and she would take her place and fulfill her marriage with Xiao Hengyuan.
Xu Baozhu thought that she had become Xiao Hengyuan's legal wife and had gained his favor, and would be able to become the queen in the future.
"Are you willing?" Xu Mingyao was stunned. He thought he would have to spend more time talking.
Xu Lingyi looks timid, but sometimes she can be extremely stubborn and won't cry until she sees the coffin.
He thought he would teach her a lesson today, and make sure her skin was torn to pieces.
I didn't expect her to be so obedient.
"It's good that you know this. The deposed Crown Prince has offended His Majesty and has now become a commoner. You should pack your bags tomorrow and go directly to the deposed Crown Prince's mansion."
Xu Lingyi's obedience did not arouse Xu Mingyao's suspicion.
Because she was like this at the beginning in Xu Mansion.
She didn't have a vicious heart from the beginning. When Xu Baozhu and Xu Mingyao bullied her, she just accepted it and wanted to endure it a little longer and not confront them head-on.
Because they, mother and daughter, had no power and influence, and their mother was not favored by their father, they had no one to rely on and had to restrain their tempers.
If they hadn't gone too far, if my mother hadn't been killed.
Xu Lingyi would never have wanted to climb up like that in her previous life.
Having tasted the power and known the pleasure of wantonness, she no longer wanted to be a servant in this life.
"Mother."
After Xu Mingyao left, the first thing Xu Lingyi did after her rebirth was to visit her mother.
"Yier." Her mother held her hand, her eyes red. "I'm useless. If you hadn't been born in my belly, you wouldn't have suffered this injustice today."
Xu Lingyi shook her head. She knew that her mother was just an ordinary woman in this world.
She regards her husband as her heaven and accepts everything that comes her way. With no one to rely on, she has no chance to resist.
If it weren't for their mother's cautiousness, they wouldn't be alive today.
"Don't blame mother." Xu Lingyi said.
She once blamed her mother, but later she realized that everything they had suffered was caused by Xu's father, and secondly by the princess.
"Mother, don't worry. I volunteered to go to the deposed prince's mansion."
"He has long been a commoner, and will be confined to that square house for the rest of his life. If you go there, it will be like being imprisoned. How can mother be at ease?"
Whenever she thought about her daughter being imprisoned for the rest of her life, she felt completely hopeless.
She thought that as long as she and her daughter behaved themselves, everything would get better once Xu Lingyi grew up and got married.
Xu Lingyi's marriage is her belief.
Now it's all a mirage.
"Yier, if you don't want to, mother won't let you marry no matter what."
Her only hope of survival in this life is her daughter, and she has endured humiliation and hardship over the years for her.
If her daughter was ruined, she would just want to perish along with her.
Xu Lingyi quickly held her hand: "Mom, don't."
In her previous life, she did not go to the deposed prince's mansion, but instead became Xiao Hengyuan's concubine because of her mother's death.
Her mother knew her ambition and that she was unwilling to spend her whole life with a commoner, so she helped her at all costs and even lost her own life for her.
As a mother, her mother has given her all the success she can.
"I really volunteered to go to the deposed prince's residence. Even if I was imprisoned for life, it would be fine. I truly love the deposed prince. Besides, the third prince is not like the current prince. He doesn't like daughters."
"Even if my daughter marries him because of this marriage contract, her life will never be easy. She may even lose her life."
Xiao Hengyuan is capable of doing such a thing. He is a cruel and ruthless person, but he looks honest and kind on the outside.
"But..." Her mother seemed to want to say something, but Xu Lingyi simply shook her head. She smiled faintly, "Mother, I really do want to, and I'm happy. In the deposed Crown Prince's mansion, I don't have to compete with other women for attention, and I don't have to worry about my life. I think it's great."
"I don't want my mother to do anything for me. The best thing for me is that you are well."
Xu's mother's eyes turned red, "You have grown up, Yi'er."
"Mother, the only thing I'm worried about is you. When I leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, you..."
Mother Xu smiled and shook her head to interrupt her.
