My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 1 Wedding Gift Exchange

"I don't want to live anymore. How can I live like this..."

The woman's sharp cry was like a long thread, poking Qin Yuan and causing him to frown slightly and open his eyes unhappily.

Just as he was about to explode, he was startled by the old gauze curtain of the color of rain after rain covering the bed.

She just took a nap on the sandalwood couch in the study of the prime minister's residence, and when she opened her eyes, she was on this simple bed.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Qin Yuan turned around when she heard the voice and saw Hongye, who looked a dozen years younger, standing in front of her with a worried look on her face.

This is really strange.

Before she could say anything, Cui Ming, who had long been dead, ran in with a "squeak". She looked sad and choked up as she said to her, "Our young lady is so unfortunate. Her marriage is going to be ruined. Madam said that she wants Master Lin to marry the second young lady."

Hongye's face suddenly fell, "Second Miss fell into the water while attending a flower viewing banquet. None of the maids and servants around her saved her, but Master Lin saved her. I really don't know what to say. What should we do with our eldest Miss? She was supposed to get married in two months."

Qin Yuan was in a daze for a while before she realized that she was reborn, and her younger sister was also reborn, and she was reborn earlier than her.

In her previous life, she claimed to be sick and hid at home to embroider her wedding dress. Her younger sister Qin Wan went to a flower-viewing banquet, and when she came back she was overjoyed. She came to her room to boast that her future brother-in-law, Marquis Gu, was not only a good warrior, but also handsome, and deeply favored by the emperor. The Marquis's mansion was extremely rich.

Her husband, Lin Ziqi, came from a poor family. He was the only widow in his family. When he was studying, he had to beg for money from the Qin family. It has been said since ancient times that a woman should obey her husband. After marriage, the status of the two sisters was even more different.

Hongye remembered these words for the rest of her life and would talk about them from time to time, because the two sisters were indeed as different as worlds in the future.

But she is the cloud in the sky, and Qin Wan is the mud on the ground.

In her previous life, after she married Lin Ziqi, Lin Ziqi ranked seventh in the second class and became a scholar first. He then entered the Hanlin Academy and became a Hanlin lecturer. He was able to walk in front of the emperor and show his face. He was then transferred to Jiangxi, Suzhou and Hangzhou and other places as a county magistrate. In less than ten years, he became a high-ranking official sent out. During this period, he made several great achievements that won the emperor's heart. He was selected by the emperor to join the cabinet and become a prime minister with the emperor's personal approval. She also enjoyed the honor of being a noble wife like her husband.

Everyone respectfully calls her Madam Lin Xiang, which is a very honorable title.

After Qin Wan's grand wedding, she and Lord Gu became enemies because of a concubine. Lord Gu and his concubine lived a loving life behind closed doors, while Qin Wan cried all day in the main courtyard. She couldn't give birth to a child, and she chanted Buddha and burned incense every day, almost going crazy.

Her stepmother even came to her house and asked her to go to the Marquis' Mansion in the identity of Mrs. Lin to support Qin Wan and suppress the arrogant concubine.

It was the festival season at the time, and she was busy managing the household affairs at the prime minister's residence and had no time to spare. A few days later, Qin Wan died suddenly of a cold. Lord Gu did not shed a single tear after her death, and the funeral was extremely sloppy.

Qin Yuan sneered.

In this new life, Qin Wan was still so ignorant and even wanted to snatch her marriage.

Qin Wan is the legitimate daughter, and only those things that Qin Wan doesn't want can be hers, so she has to make plans early.

"Help me up."

Hongye came over with red eyes to help her out of bed. She looked around. Qin Yuan was used to the luxury of the prime minister's mansion, and looking at the bare boudoir that looked like a snow cave, she felt a little uncomfortable.

People are like this: it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

But when she looked at those soft, white and tender fingers like onions, she felt happy again, as this was her best time.

Qin Yuan said calmly: "Bring me a mirror."

Cui Ming hurriedly brought a mirror.

The mirror reflected a face that was so tender that water could be squeezed out of it, so bright and beautiful. She didn't have time to take a closer look. She hurriedly put a layer of white powder on her face and changed into half-worn clothes. She looked much more haggard in an instant.

After a while, her stepmother Cui sent someone to call her to the front hall.

The old woman who delivered the message showed pity in her eyes and said, "Madam wants to talk to the eldest lady about something."

Hongye stuffed a small purse into the woman's pocket, and the woman added, "The master is here too."

Qin Yuan nodded in thanks, and, supported by two maids, walked unsteadily to the front hall.

In the hall, my father and stepmother sat at the top, and my younger brothers Qin Heng and Qin Wan sat on both sides.

When Qin Wan saw her come in, she rushed forward with a pale face and red eyes, crying hoarsely, "Sister, I'm sorry for you, please kill me."

"What happened to my sister?" Before Qin Yuan even had time to greet her parents, she asked softly with her bloodless lips trembling, "What on earth did you do to make me kill you?"

Qin Wan covered her face and cried, choking up and unable to speak.

The stepmother looked at him unkindly, and it was obvious that she hated her words for embarrassing her beloved daughter.

In the end, it was the younger brother Qin Heng who said in a firm voice: "Big sister, the second sister was pushed into the pool today. It was the eldest brother-in-law who rescued her. There were many people watching at the time. The second brother-in-law also saw it."

All that needs to be said can be said in just a few words.

Qin Yuan's face was wooden, and his eyes were blank, as if he was frightened. His stepmother Cui frowned, forming a "川" character, and said sternly: "Wan'er was also harmed by someone. Now, only by letting Wan'er and Lin Ziqi get married can we suppress the rumors. Otherwise, how can the Qin family's daughter have a good reputation?"

Before she finished speaking, Qin Wan knelt down with a plop and cried, "Sister, I, I am in this situation now. There is no other way except to marry Brother Lin. Please be kind and help us."

Qin Wan in her previous life was so spoiled, how could she behave like a concubine competing for favors? Qin Yuan couldn't help but shudder.

She wanted to help Qin Wan up, but Qin Wan just knelt there motionless, saying, "Sister hasn't forgiven me yet. I caused Sister to not be able to marry Brother Lin. Sister can beat me and scold me as much as she wants. Even if I die on my knees in front of Sister, it won't matter."

Qin Heng, his younger brother, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Qin Wan, saying in a hoarse voice, "You are the legitimate daughter and she is a concubine. You didn't intentionally harm her, so why are you kneeling down to beg her?"

Qin Yuan: “…”

Qin Wan burst into tears.

The father sighed and said, "Yuan'er, now the matter is settled. If Wan'er doesn't marry Lin Ziqi, we will have no choice but to send her to the temple to become a nun."

The stepmother moved him with emotion: "You grew up with Wan'er, can you watch your sister become a nun and live her life in front of a green lamp and an ancient Buddha?"

"What should I do?" Qin Yuan cried, "What did I do wrong? My sister is getting married, but she is not preparing her dowry at home, but she wants to go to a flower viewing banquet. If something happens to her, she will cancel my marriage."

Qin Wan started crying again: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to the flower viewing party and got tricked by others. Don't blame me."

The younger brother Qin Heng was furious and said, "Shouldn't you cancel the engagement? The second sister is the legitimate daughter and was supposed to marry into the Dingbei Marquis's mansion as the Marquis's wife. She is already sad enough. You are the eldest sister, why don't you think about the second sister?"

Qin Yuan also cried: "Lin Ziqi broke off the engagement with me, what reputation do I have left? You also said that I am a concubine's daughter, how can I still get married like this..."

Qin Heng interrupted her and said, "Sister, are you going to watch the Qin family be tarnished? You are the eldest sister, you should share the worries of your parents."

Qin Wan sobbed beside him: "I, I'd rather die."

The stepmother embraced Qin Wan in her arms, wiped her tears, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about death and life." She glared at Qin Yuan and said bitterly, "I will make the decision for you."

This is going to be tough.

Qin Yuan simply cried to her father: "It would be better if I died and gave way to my sister. That would be clean and also repay my parents for raising me."

After saying that, she was about to run into the pillar. Hongye and Cuiming hurriedly hugged her tightly around the waist, and the three of them cried together.

Qin Wan also burst into tears.

"That's enough, shut up," the father said angrily, "what will it look like if someone sees us?"

The only sounds left in the hall were the two girls sobbing softly.

After a while, the father sighed, "Yuan'er, your father is the chief priest of the Imperial College, an official appointed by the court. How can I force my eldest daughter to death for the sake of my second daughter's marriage? This is indeed unfair to you... Your biological mother, Aunt Chen, is a good concubine. Your father will record you under the name of the lady, so that it will be easier to discuss marriage in the future."

The stepmother's face changed slightly. She met the cold gaze from her father, then lowered her eyes and gently stroked Qin Wan in her arms.

Qin Yuan said nothing.

In her previous life, she was the prime minister's wife, and her status as a concubine's daughter was often gossiped about. Qin Wan's efforts actually allowed her to gain this benefit.

In fact, it would be better if I no longer married Lin Ziqi and lived a life of hardship and suffering.

But now they needed her help.

She had to see what else they could give.

Qin Heng said sarcastically: "Congratulations, elder sister, on becoming the legitimate daughter, but I advise you to stop while you are ahead."

"Shut up right there," after scolding Qin Heng, his father added, "Yuan'er, I'll find a good one among the students for you, and give you more dowry."

Qin Yuan reluctantly said, "As a sister, I can't just watch my sister die, but... I can't hastily arrange my marriage just because my sister wants to get married..."

"Don't worry, my daughter. I will get your approval and will never give you to anyone randomly."

Qin Yuan then whispered, "Thank you very much, father."

Qin Wan, who got what she wanted, stopped crying. She looked at her with malice in her eyes and said, "Thank you for your help, sister. Why didn't father ask the Marquis if he was willing to exchange the bride? Outsiders only know that the Marquis Dingbei is married to my family, but no one knows which daughter the marriage is with."
