Chapter 2048 Three Wishes
The Yongxin Marquis Mansion was filled with joy, but Shengxia Chan's yard was a little deserted. She was embroidering wedding clothes with her four maids.

Zhu Yu asked in a low voice:

"Miss, the second young lady has been arranged to marry. Will she return to the Marquis' Mansion?"

"It probably won't happen in a short time. She has to stay in the palace and learn the rules from the teaching nanny. Do you think it's so easy to marry into the royal family?"

The midsummer cicada replied in a good-tempered manner.

"That would be great, so she doesn't have to come to the young lady's yard to show off."

Qingping said immediately.

"She doesn't have time to show off to me right now. She has to learn etiquette and take care of her health. The Marquis's wife has to prepare a dowry for her. She has a lot of things to do!"

Zhu Yu immediately said with caution:
"Miss, the Marquis's wife is planning to buy a dowry. She won't set her sights on our courtyard, will she?"

Midsummer Cicada smiled and said:
"That's fine. Take advantage of this time to deal with everything that can't be taken away. Go tell Kang Jiuqing tomorrow that it will be more convenient for him to handle these things outside."

"Yes, ma'am."

In order to avoid meeting Liu Zongcheng, Shengxia Chan used the excuse of embroidering her dowry and stayed in the backyard without leaving the house, leaving all the outside matters to Kang Jiuqing.

The marquis' wife did have her eyes on the dowry that Xia Chan had taken back. She wanted to take the most valuable ornaments to add to her daughter's dowry, so she came to the marquis of Yongxin for help.

Yong Xin Hou said impatiently:
"Okay, stop thinking about it. Everything Xia Chan's mother left behind has the Fan family's mark. If you sell it, it's fine. But if you use it as a dowry, you might get smeared."

Although the Marquis's wife was angry, she had no choice but to give up.

A month later, Shengxia Chan left the Yongxin Marquis Mansion in a bridal sedan chair and was picked up by Kang Jiuqing, who was riding a horse and was in high spirits, and taken to the three-courtyard house he temporarily rented.

Looking at the sixty-eight loads of dowry filling two courtyards with summer cicadas, Kang Jiuqing finally felt that he had married a noble lady.

After the wedding night, Kang Jiuqing went out in high spirits, and Shengxia Chan also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she would not go back to the old path of her previous life.

After returning home three days later, the couple prepared to pack their bags and set off. Kang Jiuqing borrowed the power of Marquis Yongxin and got a seventh-rank official position. The place they were going to was not very rich but not poor either. As long as he made achievements in politics, there would be plenty of opportunities for promotion.

Sitting in a bumpy carriage, Midsummer Cicada was in a very good mood; he had already taken the first step to escape his fate.

When Shengxia Chan and Kang Jiuqing finally arrived at their new post two months later after a long journey, she finally found Lianyi.

"Lord, are you there? I want your help."

Lianyi was originally paying attention to the crystal ball. After receiving the call, he sent out a ray of consciousness and responded:

"I'm here, what do you want me to do?"

"Lord, I want you to turn Sheng Xia Ming into a barren woman, to be rejected by the eldest prince on their wedding night."

Lian Yi raised her eyebrows and smiled after hearing this:

"no problem."

"Second, make sure Liu Zongcheng has no descendants."

This is a bit cruel. Lianyi thought about it and asked:

"You want him to become a eunuch?" "No, so that he can't have children."

Lianyi understood that all she had to do was make the male protagonist infertile, which was an easy thing to do.

"Okay, that's no problem. What's the third request?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll call on God when I need it."

The midsummer cicada said piously.

"Okay, good luck to you."

Lianyi withdrew his consciousness, touched Xuanfeng's head and said:
"I don't know who wrote this kind of mindless romance. Even the heroine regained her consciousness, which shows how much she hates the hero. She probably didn't kill him directly because she was afraid of getting herself into trouble."

Duoduo shook the flower plate and said:
"Master, Sheng Xiaming entered the palace through a selection. Her body must have been checked. It's unreasonable that she was found to be a barren woman only when she got married!"

"This is the cleverness of Sheng Xia Chan. As long as it is proven that Sheng Xia Ming is a barren woman, do you think the Yongxin Marquisate can get away with it? Xia Ming herself is not capable of hiding the truth."

Lianyi explained with a smile.

"I see."

Things turned out just as Lianyi had guessed. On the wedding night, the eldest prince was unable to enter the house and thought it was because of his poor skills. The two of them struggled for half the night but still failed to consummate the marriage. The eldest prince realized something was wrong and asked the palace maid who had taught him to check. Only then did he realize that Sheng Xiaming was a barren woman and would never be able to consummate the marriage with him in this lifetime. He left in anger, leaving Sheng Xiaming dumbfounded.

On the second day, the eldest prince locked the people in the prince's mansion, went into the palace alone, and explained what had happened to his father, the emperor, and his mother.

The Queen said with a gloomy face:
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Someone must have helped her conceal the truth. Otherwise, how could such a big mistake have happened?"

The emperor was also very displeased. He arranged for such a woman to be married to his son. She couldn't even perform the normal Zhougong etiquette, which was harming his son.

For the sake of royal dignity, this matter cannot be publicized, so the emperor ordered a private investigation and not to alarm those who should not be alarmed.

When the third prince returned home, the eldest prince went to the Yongxin Marquis's mansion alone, and used the excuse that Sheng Xia Ming was sick to take the marquis's wife to the prince's mansion to visit their daughter. Only then did the marquis's wife know that her daughter was a barren girl. She couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

A year later, news came from the eldest prince's mansion that Sheng Xia Ming had died due to bleeding from miscarriage, thus vacating the position of the eldest prince's consort.

The Yongxin Marquis's Mansion was implicated and gradually faded out of the center of power, and even lost the qualification to attend court. This made the Yongxin Marquis sigh for a long time. If he had known earlier, he would not have helped his wife to seize the marriage of his eldest daughter. But now it is too late to regret.

Since the eldest daughter, Xia Chan, got married, she has sent holiday gifts back to the Marquis' Mansion on time, but she has never sent back a single word. She did this just to prevent herself from being criticized. Anyway, no one in Kyoto says that the eldest daughter is unfilial.

Twenty years after leaving the capital, Shengxia Chan set out on the journey back home. This time, it was because Kang Jiuqing was promoted and transferred back to the capital. If her two sons and one daughter wanted to further their studies, they had to return to the capital to study under famous teachers.

So this time, the family of five, together with maids, servants, and guards, set out on the journey back to Beijing in a large group.

During these twenty years, Kang Jiuqing's mother passed away and his sister got married. Sheng Xia Chan became the head of the family and had a large dowry. He lived a carefree life. Even though he had two sons and a daughter, he did not look old at all. Instead, he became more and more charming. Kang Jiuqing was so fascinated by her that he wished he could stay close to his wife every day.

The family of five traveled and played, and it took them three months to reach the capital. When they moved into the five-story courtyard that day, Liu Zongcheng saw Shengxia Chan, the wife of the new Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Kang Jiuqing, from afar.

This sight made him lose his mind, as if a piece of his heart was dug out. His eyes turned black and he fell off his horse.

After being sent back to the mansion by the servants, no one visited him except his mother, because Minister Liu had given up on him. No matter how capable a son who could not have children could not carry on the family line. The three unfilial acts were to have no descendants, and the worst of them. Even though they tried their best to cover it up, everyone who should know knew that Liu Zongcheng was infertile.

When the other party fainted and fell off the horse, Shengxia Chan looked back as if he had sensed something, and saw a familiar figure, and made his third wish:
"May the Lord allow Liu Zongcheng to recover his memories from his previous life."

Good night~
