Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Linlang monitored Li Sanniang and, apart from discovering that she was indeed a reborn woman as she had thought, she didn't find anything else, because the other party, just like the original owner, didn't notice anything amiss at the Qinghe Prince's Mansion.

Moreover, seeing that she had gotten rid of the marriage proposal, she was overjoyed and no longer cared about the Qinghe Prince's Mansion. She spent all her time staring at the several new targets she had listed, muttering to herself which one would be the best to get engaged to.

This piqued Linlang's interest in the Qinghe Prince's Mansion, making her wonder what had happened there. Several people had gone in one after another, only to die inexplicably.

Linlang kept only one of the bees monitoring Li Sanniang and sent the other bee to the Qinghe Prince's Mansion to see if anything was amiss.

Leaving aside the fact that Linlang began investigating the shady dealings of the Qinghe Prince's Mansion, it's said that outsiders don't know that something is amiss with the Qinghe Prince's Mansion. It's only said that Linlang is engaged to the Qinghe Prince. On the surface, it seems that Linlang has moved on from the shadow of the broken engagement. Not only did the broken engagement not result in a bad marriage, but she actually married even better. Needless to say, the Wang family, who broke off the engagement with the original owner of this body, is now in an awkward position in this circle.

The reason the Wang family broke off the engagement was because their son was too old to wait three years. But the real reason was not that. The real reason was that the Wang family was different from the Changning Marquis's family. The Wang family was a family of officials with real power.

When the original owner of the body was engaged, the Wang family was a family of fourth-rank officials, but they came from humble origins. They thought that by marrying into a noble family like the Marquis of Changning, they could borrow their resources and develop their family in the capital. With the Marquis of Changning as their support, they could no longer be considered completely from humble origins.

The reason why the Marquis of Changning's family and the Wang family formed a marriage alliance was quite simple. The Marquis of Changning's family had declined and only had the title but no real power. They wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Wang family, a rising star, so that their family could indirectly gain real power.

Therefore, the previous cooperation between the Marquis of Changning's mansion and the Wang family was complementary.

The problem was that before the old Marquis of Changning passed away, the Wang family had already been promoted from the fourth rank to the fourth rank, and was just one step away from becoming a family of high-ranking officials of the third rank. The head of the Wang family felt that his promotion to the third rank was not a problem. Since that was the case, they were somewhat dissatisfied with the Changning Marquis family and wanted to find a noble family with better conditions for a marriage alliance.

However, breaking off the engagement with the Marquis of Changning's mansion without a reason would damage their reputation, so although the Wang family wanted to break off the engagement and find another partner, they did not dare to do so rashly for the time being.

It wasn't until the old Marquis of Changning passed away that they found an excuse, saying that Young Master Wang was too old to wait another three years. So they used this excuse, which they thought was reasonable, to successfully cancel the original owner's marriage.

In fact, Mr. Wang was only eighteen years old at the time, and three years later he was only twenty-one. He was not particularly old, not old enough to need to break off the engagement and find someone else.

However, since the Wang family wanted to break off the engagement, the Marquis of Changning had no choice but to cancel it.

After the Wang family broke off the engagement, they quickly approached another noble family they had previously favored. This family was not only a marquis's household, but also held official positions in the court. Unlike the Changning Marquis's household, which only held honorary positions, this family had both semi-real power and status, making them naturally better than the Changning Marquis's household. In the future, they could not only bring connections to the Wang family, but also help them in the officialdom, since they also had connections in the court.

In just one year, that young lady entered the family, and now she has even given birth to a child.

Both companies felt it was a perfect match, a powerful alliance.

Now, Li Linlang, whose engagement had been broken off by the Wang family, is actually engaged to the Prince of Qinghe. This has put the Wang family in an awkward position. After all, although they are fourth-rank officials, they are still inferior to the prince, especially since this prince is not a distant relative of the imperial family, but rather the current emperor's cousin, making him even more extraordinary. Originally, when they broke off the engagement, they felt that the Wang family had become powerful, and that the Marquis of Changning's engagement to them was a loss for them. So they broke off the engagement, thinking that given the Marquis of Changning's current state of decline, they couldn't possibly find a better match than their family, so it wasn't that the Marquis of Changning had taken advantage of them.

As it turned out, the marriage arranged by the Marquis of Changning was much better than that of the Wang family, which embarrassed them.

Although the Wang family always says that their son is unlucky and they hope that Miss Li can marry someone better.

But when Miss Li actually managed to marry someone better, they couldn't stand it anymore.

Yes, they do want the original owner to live a good life, so that if she lives too poorly, others will say it's the Wang family's fault, which would be bad.

However, this "good" cannot be better than their family's, otherwise it would be a slap in their face. So when Linlang really did marry someone better, just as they always said, they said their blessings, but when they turned around and went home, their mood was not so good, and they couldn't be happy.

Although they didn't say they were unhappy, ever since they heard that Linlang had been engaged to a good family, the servants of the Wang family knew from the frequent scoldings they received these past few days that their masters were in a bad mood. Coupled with the ridicule from outsiders towards their household, even a fool could understand why their masters were in a bad mood these past few days.

Indeed, anyone who hears that the Marquis of Changning's mansion was able to find such a better marriage thanks to the Wang family breaking off the engagement would find it hard to accept.

—This gossip was naturally spread by Linlang's people. It didn't happen in the original world. So in the original world, the Wang family at most heard that the original owner was a little annoyed by the engagement with the Prince's Mansion. Unlike in this world, they heard everywhere that it was thanks to the Wang family's annulment of the engagement that the Marquis of Changning's Mansion had the opportunity to form a marriage alliance with the Prince of Qinghe's Mansion, which made them furious.

Linlang just wanted to vent her anger for the original owner, so she deliberately spread this message to annoy the Wang family. After all, if the original owner hadn't married into the Qinghe Prince's Mansion, she wouldn't have married well, and it was indeed the Wang family who had harmed her. So, Linlang would naturally not let go of the people who had harmed the original owner.

She wasn't afraid of what might happen to her in the Qinghe Prince's Mansion in the future, or that the Wang family would laugh at her for finding a bad marriage, because she was confident that she wouldn't have a bad time in the Qinghe Prince's Mansion.

Sure enough, after she relayed this message, it really annoyed the Wang family, and they became quite angry, spending their days yelling and cursing at each other at home.

Linlang then spread the story of what happened to the Wang family in the capital, and the Wang family quickly became the laughing stock of the city, which made them even angrier.

Dealing with the Wang family went smoothly, but investigating what was wrong with the Qinghe Prince's Mansion was anything but smooth, because apart from some trivial matters at the mansion, they couldn't monitor anything.

Linlang had no choice but to think that once she entered the manor, she would take it one step at a time.

Soon it arrived that Linlang's wedding day arrived, and she officially married into the Qinghe Prince's Mansion. (End of Chapter)
