Chapter 1 I won't allow you to marry another woman
"Have the people from the Marquis of Yongyi's residence been dealt with?"
"Don't worry, not a single person was left alive on the way to exile."
The April night rain pattered softly on the glazed tiles of the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Yun Si stood at the corner of the corridor, clutching her cloak, her fingertips shivering.
She had poor health since childhood and needed to take medicine all year round. After her family was exiled, she divorced Xiao Wang Qin Ye.
Now, the only person she can rely on is her childhood sweetheart, Shen Qian, with whom she grew up.
Tonight, she came to ask Shen Qian for a new prescription, but she overheard him having a private conversation with someone else in his study.
Rainwater slid down her temples, and she shivered from the cold.
"The blame is all pinned on Xiao Wang Qin Ye! That stupid woman Yun Si still thinks Qin Ye ruined her whole family."
A thunderclap boomed, and Yun Si staggered backward, kicking over a flowerpot under the eaves.
"who?"
The door was suddenly pushed open.
When Shen Qian recognized her, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
Yun Si's voice trembled slightly: "So it was you... You framed the Marquis's mansion, pinned the blame on Qin Ye, and even sent people to kill my whole family on the way to exile."
Shen Qian's smile gradually faded.
"So what if it's me? As long as you behave, I can forgive and forget and take you as my concubine, considering you were once my fiancée."
"You're dreaming!"
Yun Si turned and ran.
Rain blurred his vision, and Shen Qian's voice was like a leech: "A Si, you can't escape."
Yun Si slipped, and the icy lake water instantly swallowed her.
The feeling of suffocation lasted for a very long time.
When she opened her eyes again, Yun Si was floating on the beam of the study in Prince Xiao's mansion.
Qin Ye was reading a confidential letter, the candlelight illuminating his slender and exquisitely handsome profile.
She instinctively tried to speak, but no sound came out.
So, she was dead.
Her soul actually returned to Prince Xiao's mansion.
When Yun Si saw a servant come in and report something to Qin Ye, Qin Ye's calm expression instantly froze.
He suddenly stood up, grabbed the servant by the collar, and questioned him.
The color drained from his face, as if he had suffered a severe blow, and the emotions surging in his eyes were both intense and complex.
Yun Si guessed that Qin Ye probably knew about her death.
A foolish woman like her, who couldn't judge people and didn't know what was good for her, deserved to die, in his eyes.
However, Yun Si never expected that Qin Ye would disregard everything and lead his men into the Shen family to snatch her body.
That was the first time Qin Ye and Shen Qian clashed head-on.
Qin Ye went berserk, beating Shen Qian half to death. The Shen family's secret guards also seriously injured Qin Ye.
That battle was a covert contest, and the Shen family was not punished for it. Qin Ye, although he successfully brought her body back to the Xiao Prince's Mansion, was bedridden for months and faced several crises, almost not surviving.
Yun Si's soul remained by Qin Ye's side, watching him go through life and death several times, struggling on the edge of death, while she could do nothing about it.
Her soul was trapped beside Qin Ye.
This predicament lasted for five years.
Qin Ye spent five years desperately seizing power. He became ruthless and unscrupulous, determined to climb to the highest position, uproot the Shen family, and clear the Hou family's name...
It wasn't until the eighth day of the fourth month of the twenty-eighth year of Yongchang, five years after Yun Si's death, that Qin Ye walked alone onto the city wall.
“Yun Si”.
He stroked the dagger that Yun Si had used to kill him years ago: "This life has been too long..."
His black dragon robe swept across the city wall as he leaped from the city tower.
don't want!
Yun Si floated in mid-air, screaming in terror. The next moment, she felt a suffocating sensation and suddenly opened her eyes.
"Have the people from the Marquis of Yongyi's residence been dealt with?"
"Don't worry, not a single person was left alive on the way to exile."
Familiar voices could be heard.
Yun Si's mind exploded.
Her gaze swept across the dark, rainy night; the raindrops lashed her face, feeling real and biting.
Suddenly realizing something, Yun Si covered her mouth tightly with both hands, not allowing herself to make a sound.
She carefully and slowly retreated until she reached a safe place. Only then did she collapse and squat down, leaning against the cold wall, breathing heavily.
She actually... was reborn!
I was reborn on the day I overheard the truth.
On the eighth day of the fourth month of the twenty-third year of Yongchang, which was one month after her divorce from Qin Ye.
Heaven has eyes!
There's still time!
It's not too late!
In her past life, she was incredibly foolish and misjudged people. Because Shen Qian, the eldest son of the Shen family, had grown up with her since childhood and had even saved her life, she unconditionally trusted him and wholeheartedly wanted to marry him.
Later, Prince Xiao, Qin Ye, suddenly interfered, plotted to ruin her reputation, and forcibly married her into his household. As a result, she hated Qin Ye to the core.
A year into their marriage, no matter how well Qin Ye treated her, she never gave him a kind look.
More than a month ago, the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion was involved in an incident, with its property confiscated and the family exiled. Shen Qian told her that it was all Qin Ye's doing, that Qin Ye had deliberately framed the Marquis's mansion.
Without any investigation, she believed Shen Qian's lies, not only threatening suicide to force Qin Ye to divorce her, but also stabbing Qin Ye in the back, almost killing him.
That stab wound completely broke Qin Ye's heart, and he finally agreed to divorce her.
After the divorce, Shen Qian arranged for her to stay in a separate courtyard. Ironically, she had always believed that Shen Qian genuinely cared for her and would help her clear the Marquis's name, but in the end...
As Yun Si recalled these events, she couldn't help but cover her face and weep bitterly.
I don't know how much time has passed.
After venting her emotions, Yun Si slowly stood up. Her eyes gradually changed, and her aura became calm and composed.
Upon meeting again after a lifetime, Yun Si decided to give him a gift first.
...
The rain stopped late at night.
A raging fire suddenly broke out in the west wing of the Shen family's villa.
The fire spread very quickly, reaching the main courtyard in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
It was the dead of night, and by the time they discovered it, the entire villa had been engulfed in flames.
"Fire! Quick! Put out the fire!"
Yun Si mingled among the firefighters, threw her specially made tinder into the last warehouse, and strode away.
The fire burned until dawn, reducing the entire villa to ashes.
After living in the Shen family's villa for a month, Yun Si knew clearly that the study and storeroom contained many things that were of vital importance to the Shen family.
The Shen family suffered heavy losses after their villa was burned down.
No rush, this is just the beginning.
As dawn broke, Yun Si stood outside the Xiao Prince's residence.
When she saw the "double happiness" character pasted on the vermilion gate, a look of doubt flashed across her face.
Is the Xiao Prince's Mansion going to hold a happy event?
"Miss, are you here for a wedding banquet?"
The gatekeeper saw a young woman standing in front of the gate and quickly went up to ask her questions.
Upon recognizing who it was, the gatekeeper's expression changed slightly: "Your...Your Highness?"
Yun Si was taken aback: "What wedding banquet?"
"Of course, His Highness should marry a concubine," the gatekeeper replied with a strange expression.
To take a concubine?
Upon hearing this, Yun Si's expression became even more puzzled.
In her previous life, after her death, her soul stayed by Qin Ye's side and saw many truths. She also saw that Qin Ye, in order to compete for the position of crown prince, married the prime minister's eldest daughter as his principal wife six months after her death. How come this life is different from what she saw?
"Whom did His Highness marry?"
"He married Miss Lin, his neighbor from his childhood. They were childhood sweethearts," the gatekeeper answered truthfully.
wrong!
Yun Si's heart beat slightly faster.
I saw this woman surnamed Lin a few times when her soul was with Qin Ye, but Qin Ye later only married the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter.
And the timing is wrong too.
On this day in his past life, Qin Ye did not marry anyone.
How could it be earlier than expected?
Now that fate has given her another chance, she is determined to try and change her tragic ending with Qin Ye, no matter what.
Moreover, she and Qin Ye are clearly on the same side now. It is undeniable that she needs Qin Ye, but at the same time, she will do her best to help him.
"I would like to see him. Could you please inform him?"
The gatekeeper said rather unfriendly, "They're already divorced, and His Highness is getting married today. You'd better not disturb us and go back."
Yun Si gave a bitter smile, then asked, "Then can you tell me, Your Highness's injury... is it healed?"
"Whether my injuries have healed or not is none of your business."
Yun Si froze.
That voice belonged to Qin Ye.
She looked up and saw Qin Ye standing inside the gate in a bright red wedding dress. His face was much thinner than she remembered, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes, but he was still as stunningly beautiful as ever.
His eyes were cold, and he looked at Yun Si as if she were a stranger.
"Your Highness."
Yun Si took a deep breath and slowly stepped forward. She had just opened her mouth to call out when Qin Ye strode towards her, grabbed her wrist, and the force was so strong that it hurt her.
He lowered his voice, his tone dangerous: "What are you doing here?"
Yun Si looked up at him and said domineeringly, "You are mine, and I will not allow you to marry another woman!"
