Lan Xuan smiled gently as she said, “My dear sister, who told you to obstruct my path? Your man belongs to me, your dowry belongs to me, your everything, belongs to me.” With bloodshot eyes, Zhao Hong Xiang bit his tooth and said clearly, ”Don’t blame me, when you were alive, you were a part of the Zhao family, even when you die, you will remain a ghost of the Zhao family. I will not allow myself to be mocked by the world because of you. Instead of living so miserably, why not die early and reincarnate early? Xuan’er has said that your dowry consists of 60 thousand liang of silver, I can’t let you take it away, so… why don’t you… GO TO HELL!” In the midst of a night thunderstorm, the kindhearted but cowardly daughter of the general of the Great Yan Empire, Mu Zi You, was strangled to death by her closest friend and husband using a rope. When she died, she had a stomach full of regrets and grievances. Just when she thought she died wrongfully under the hands of her friend and husband, she opened her eyes once more only to realize that she had been given a second chance. She had been transported back by 4 years. Forcefully breaking through the seal her mother left on her soul, she was granted with supernatural power. “I swear that I will only allow myself let others down but not the other way around! From now, I want my revenge!” Evil stepmother? It’s alright, I’ll destroy your reputation before sending you on your way to the yellow spring (TL note: yellow spring = Hell). Hypocritical friend? I’ll ruthlessly tear off your facade and give you a taste of the pain I once felt. The princess conspiring against me? I’ll just throw her into the mass grave. Since none of you are willing to let me enjoy my life, I’ll drag all of you down with me! Just when she intends to distance herself from hypocritical douche-bags, who knew that her devastatingly beautiful appearance would attract even more butterflies. That guy whom abandoned her like a dirty shoe previously is now saying that he will marry no one but her. Princes chasing after her, willing to use any methods and do anything just to get in her good graces, and a drop dead gorgeous hoodlum involving himself with her, who will she choose? (This is not my work.(novelfull)
Like every usual day, after Mu Zi You went to greet her mother-in-law, Old Lady Chen, she proceeded to the herb garden to tend and water her plants. She was in a daze as she looked at the field of green and purple plants.
She has always wondered naively that if dabbled in medicine, could she have prevented her uncle and grandfather from falling ill? If so, would they still be alive?
If they were alive, even if she was divorced by the duke, at least there will still be a home that she could return back to. It would definitely be better than her current predicament. Under the influence of her stepmother, her father called her shameless and accused her of seducing her father-in-law. He even resorted to threatening her, forbidding her from returning home, fearing that she would disgrace him.
When she thought of her grandfather whom she had always been close to, her uncle who was like a father figure in her life and her bedridden aunt, she could not help but be enveloped in sadness. So much so that she started crying.
"Milady…Milady…" At this moment, a maidservant dressed in yellow panically ran towards her and said "Bad news. A moment ago, MistressYu was complaining of stomach pain, after the imperial doctor diagnosed her, he said that her anti-abortifacient medicinal soup was laced with a miscarriage inducing agent. Mistress Yu's maidservant Qiao'er said that earlier on, Yan Hong(another maidservant) had gone to the place where the medicine was brewed and was caught red-handed by the duke. Yan Hong has already confessed. She said that it was under Milady's order that she laced the medicine with the miscarriage inducing drug."
Upon hearing this, Zi You let out a deep sigh. "Oh. It seems like they are not going to let me off the hook till I give up my position of the first lady."
(TL: Zi You is the first legal wife of the duke. Mistress Yu is the second legal wife. They hold the same position)
What's even more hateful is that Mistress Yu Lan Xuan happens to be her best friend and relative. After Zi You married the duke for only half a year; her grandfather-Great Yan's First General Mu Zheng Hao, Second Uncle-Great Yan's Second General Mu Ying Yi, both died from an illness while fighting a rebellion in Nanjiang. She was devastated and ontop of that, 3 months pregnant. It was a time when she needed someone there for her. This Yu Lan Xuan, under the arrangement of Zi You's stepmother, Wang Yi Ping, entered the duke's residence under the pretense of caring for her. In no time, this woman got involved with her husband.
As Zi You thought of her stepmother and "best friend", she could not help but lament that she was too soft-hearted and naive.
Yu Lan Xuan was not only her stepmother's niece but also her "best friend". This woman was extremely similar to her stepmother Wang Yi Ping, a venomous snake. She treated such people as her precious kin and heeded their every advice.
When the Duke and Yu Lan Xuan's affair broke out, her stepmother and Yu Lan Xuan knelt before her. They begged and asked for her agreement in order to make Yu Lan Xuan the Duke's second legal wife (have the same status as her). Unable to bear seeing her best friend crying, she actually agreed to it.
This was equivalent to inviting a wolf into your home! On the surface, Yu Lan Xuan was very respectful to her. However, once her grandfather and second uncle passed on, Yu Lan Xuan revealed her fangs. Not only did Yu Lan Xuan backstabbed her, she was constantly badmouthing her in front of the duke. Her mother-in-law, Old Lady Chen was also finding every opportunity to make things difficult for her.
Especially after this bitch got pregnant, she was unhappy being the second legal wife. She exhausted all means to rob Zi You of the position of first legal wife.
What about Old Lady Chen? When Zi You's grandfather was alive, she ad never dared to bully Zi You. However, once her grandfather had died she began revealing her true colours. There was a period of time Zi You took care of his father-in-law when he fell sick. She did that because he treated her well.
However under the influence of Yu Lan Xuan, Old Lady Chen starting doubting that Zi You had seduced her husband. She might even be convinced that Zi You's unborn child belongs to her father-in-law.
