Chapter 1 She Wants to Take Back Everything She Has
The post station outside Beijing in July was hot, dirty, smelly, and full of mosquitoes.
"Is she not well yet?" Su Ye, the son of Yong'an Marquis, used his sleeves to wave away the flying insects that kept flying towards him, with an impatient expression.
The attendant beside him shrank his neck and said, "The maid said she was taking a bath."
"Bathing?" Su Ye's eyes widened in shock. "She said she was bathing an hour ago. How many layers of skin does she want to wash off? With the dirty skin she has now, it will never be clean even if she washes again!"
"Prince, please speak softly. It would be bad if the young lady heard it." The attendant reminded in a low voice.
If you hear it, you hear it; that is the fact.
But Su Ye just thought about it in his heart and didn't say anything out loud.
He couldn't even understand why someone who was clearly destined to die at the border would come back. It was the emperor who personally ordered his father to use his military merits to exchange her for his return, so that she could serve Mr. Yunji as the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate.
As a military slave becoming the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquis, Su Ye felt like someone had poured a basin of feces on her head.
If Yao'er was his legitimate daughter, his sister, he would never be like this.
Nor would he wait for three hours just because she startled Ma Lai!
From the corner window on the second floor, Su Rui took in her brother's furious face and the hatred in his eyes, and heard every word he said.
It turned out that the brother who said he would always protect him when he was a child was actually a dirty person who made him sick.
But he seemed to have forgotten how he became that dirty military slave.
It was them who forced her and coaxed her!
Five years ago, at a spring banquet, Princess Changning's fiancé, who was married to her by the emperor, was caught cheating. The woman ran away, but left behind her bellyband, which had her maiden name embroidered on it.
She was caught and pinned to the ground in public by Princess Changning. Her stepsister testified that the bellyband was hers. Her stepmother euphemistically said that she had gone to the toilet for two hours and had not returned. The princess's fiancé slapped her, accused her of seduction, and knelt down to admit his mistake to the princess.
No one listened to her cries for justice, and she was labeled a shameless person who had destroyed the emperor's arranged marriage and committed a heinous crime. She was punished as a military slave and exiled to the border.
Her brother Su Ye scolded her for being cheap and self-degrading.
Her father, Marquis Yong'an, said that the dust had settled and there was no turning back. For the sake of the reputation of the Marquisate, she was asked to be patient for the time being and he would take her back when he found an opportunity.
She just waited and endured.
Year after year, spring passed and autumn came, until she committed suicide before being defiled.
Fearing that she would commit suicide and bring trouble to her family, her soul floated back to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, only to find out that they had never thought of saving her and had abandoned her long ago.
Stepsister Zhou Yao changed her name to Su Yao and became the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. Even those who tortured her were instigated by them, just to make her die early and remove this stain on her so that Su Yao could use her father's military merits in suppressing the rebellion to arrange a good marriage.
She just watched them take over her and her mother's places, use her mother's dowry, and live happily in the mansion.
She was filled with resentment and came back to life.
Based on what she knew in her previous life, she risked her life to crawl into that room that night, bribed the traveling storyteller, and let the rumor that she spent a night with the secluded Mr. Yun Ji spread to Shengjing, shaking the man on the throne.
It was her request that Marquis Yong'an exchange his military merits for her.
She didn't let them have their wish!
In this life, she will no longer die silently in the military camp and let her body be eaten by wild dogs. She will return to the capital in a high-profile manner and confirm her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquis.
She wants to take back everything she owns and won't let anyone get it for free.
So, she deliberately scratched the horse with her hairpin, frightened it, and asked the prince of the marquisate to come and pick up her, the unbearable military slave.
Looking up at the setting sun, Su Rui turned and looked down.
The door of the inn opened, and Su Ye finally saw Su Rui coming out.
After not seeing her for five years, she has grown taller and changed a lot.
Although he was a slave, there was no trace of it, not even his skin was dark or rough.
She was so fair and tender that water would come out if pinched, her breasts were plump and her waist was slender enough to be held in one hand. She was wearing light and tight clothes, which outlined her perfectly and had a smile on her red lips. Her already charming peach blossom eyes were even more alluring when slightly curved, and the little mole at the corner of her eyes seemed to be a seductive existence.
Although Su Ye had never been to the battlefield, he knew what a military camp was like.
The only things military slaves could do to live a good life were these.
Falling into a military slave, Su Ye thought that even if she committed suicide, she would be able to preserve her innocence, but...
With a slap, Su Ye knocked the stunned attendant to the ground and angrily scolded, "Shameless thing, go change your clothes!"
"What's wrong with my clothes?" Su Rui opened her arms, and there was no part of her clothes exposed.
Su Ye was speechless. How could he say this?
There's nothing revealing about her clothes, the problem is her.
"Change it if I tell you to!" He walked forward angrily and was about to grab her hand and pull it in, but Su Ye stopped at the moment of contact.
Don't want to touch her.
Su Rui watched with a sneer on her face. "It's getting late, let's go back home first."
Walking to the front of the carriage, Su Rui stood in front of the stool, raised her hand, turned her head and looked at Su Ye and asked, "I haven't seen you for five years, brother, won't you help me get in the carriage?"
Should be supported.
But Su Ye just resisted and hated it.
Especially when he saw her like this, he was furious and would not have wanted to take her back to the palace if it were not for the emperor's order.
Seeing that he didn't move, Su Rui didn't expect anything and just said lightly: "No matter what, you and I are from the same mother and have the same blood, brother."
The word "brother" was particularly clear and pierced Su Ye's heart like a thorn.
Is she saying that no matter how lowly and dirty she is, she is still his sister and he can't get rid of her?
Are you trying to disgust him on purpose?
Su Ye raised his head and saw Su Rui had already entered the carriage. The maid was standing by the carriage looking at him with a cold face.
That was someone sent by the emperor. Su Ye could not do anything in front of him. He could only swallow his anger, get on his horse, and start back to the city.
As we walked through the streets, we could hear constant discussions.
Su Ye lowered his head and gritted his teeth. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, he dismounted and ran into the mansion without paying any attention to Su Rui.
Su Rui got off the car and walked past the screen wall. The current Marquis's wife Liang, who was also Su Rui's former aunt, was waiting inside with her daughter Zhou Yao.
They didn't want to wait outside the door for fear of embarrassment.
"Rui'er, you are finally back. Mother has dreamed of you every night for the past five years." Madam Liang came forward to hold Su Rui's hand, tears in her eyes, as if she really felt sorry for her.
Mrs. Hou’s acting is still as good as ever.
Her mother passed away when she was five years old. Because she and Su Ye were still young, her widowed aunt came to the marquis's mansion to take care of them. She accompanied her and took care of her like a mother. She was very happy when her grandfather suggested that her aunt remarry her father.
For the past ten years, he treated her better than his own daughter and went along with her in everything. Until he drew his knife on her five years ago, she thought Liang was being vague to protect her.
If her soul hadn't heard her talk about her years of forbearance and planning after death, she wouldn't have believed that a person could act for so many years.
Su Rui moved her hand away, but Madam Liang's hand was empty. Her expression froze for a moment, then she quickly smiled and said, "Your grandmother is still waiting. We'll have plenty of time to talk slowly later. Let's go see your grandmother first."
"Okay." Su Rui agreed with a smile, but there was some deep meaning in her eyes.
Before the mother and daughter could think deeply, Su Rui had already walked into the main hall.
