After being forced into a marriage with a wealthy family, the virtuous wife caused a huge uproar.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the Rong family, before Rong Yingluo could even get off, the voice of Madam Rong could be heard from outside.

"My dear daughter, you're finally back."

Rong Yingluo eagerly lifted the carriage curtain, a gentle smile spreading across her face. Everyone who knew her thought she really was the eldest daughter of the Rong family.

When Madam Rong saw that her daughter was perfectly fine, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

These past two days, the master has been sending people to keep an eye on the Gu residence, and she asks every hour if there is any news from the Gu residence.

Each time they said there was no news, her heart was in turmoil, neither able to let go nor to relax, hanging in mid-air, unable to settle down.

Now that she has seen her daughter, her worries of the past two days have eased somewhat.

"Mother!" Rong Yingluo couldn't wait for the coachman to put down the treadmill and jumped off the carriage.

"Slow down." Madam Rong was startled, but seeing her daughter so clever and agile, she felt more at ease.

"Father, elder brother." Rong Yingluo was overjoyed to see her family waiting for her outside the gate.

She already rarely saw her family, so seeing them made her feel as sweet as if she had drunk honey.

She finally had the chance to be with her family openly, but unfortunately, she was already married and could only see her relatives when she returned to her parents' home.

"Little sister, how have you been these past two days?" Rong Zhixiu also showed a happy expression.

"I'm doing very well. I'm eating and sleeping well," Rong Yingluo said, only reporting good news and not bad.

Rong Yingluo helped Madam Rong into the room.

No one mentioned why Prince Gu didn't accompany them on their homecoming visit. It was as if he didn't exist at all.

The scene of the Rong family reuniting in front of the gate was witnessed by Gu Ce, who was wearing a cap not far away.

She really is a daughter of the Rong family! Otherwise, they wouldn't be so affectionate.

There wasn't a trace of feigned intimacy.

Once inside the main hall of the courtyard, Rong Zhengqing dismissed all the servants, leaving only his family and relatives to speak.

"Yingluo, tell your father the truth, have the people from the Gu family made things difficult for you?" Rong Zhengqing asked seriously.

"It is a bit difficult, but it's not a big problem; I can handle it."

"Tell the truth." Rong Zhengqing raised his voice, his face turning cold. He didn't want to hear his daughter only saying what sounded nice.

"Dad, why are you being so fierce? I finally got back." Rong Yinglu pouted.

"Your father is just concerned about you. You don't need to hide anything from us, just tell us what's on your mind," Madam Rong gently advised. The child was so sensible, which made them even more heartbroken.

"Second sister, I know you're afraid we'll worry, but we're even more worried because we don't know anything."

"Although our Rong family has no power or influence, if we're willing to spend the money, there are still some things we can help you with." Rong Zhixiu looked worried.

Once inside the house, he became unrestrained and added the word "two" before his sister's name.

On the surface, the Rong family only has one daughter, and he directly calls her "sister" in public.

Seeing how much her family cared for her, Rong Yingluo felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

Who says businessmen only care about profit? The Rong family values ​​family members even more.

Her father never took a concubine in his life. Her mother gave birth to her eldest brother, then to her second and third brothers (a pair of twins), and later to her and her eldest sister (also a pair of twins). The family has lived happily ever since. Although she left home, she receives letters from her family every two months.

All the money she spent when she went out was given by her family, and she was never short of money.

Even her master had to benefit from her to afford a good inn.

They reunite for a month every three years. During that month, her family revolves around her, reluctant to let her go out.

"Alright, I'll tell you. From the moment I got into the bridal sedan chair, I was in danger."

There was a poisonous powder in the secret compartment of the bridal sedan chair that could make people fall asleep. If I inhaled it for half an hour, I would fall into a deeper and deeper sleep each day until I stopped breathing.

I immediately crushed the apple in my hand and used the juice to pour the poison powder over it, preventing it from spreading any further.

Then, Rong Yingluo recounted her experiences over the past two days in detail, leaving the family of three terrified.

"My child, you've suffered so much!" Madam Rong cried out in anguish. "My lord, what can we do?"

"Mother, don't worry, I'm very capable. Look at me, I'm doing just fine now. Luckily, it was me who married into the family. If it had been my eldest sister, you would have really lost a daughter. So you should be glad that it was me who married into the family." Rong Yingluo said in a relaxed tone.

The three of them fell silent.

That's right. If Liuli marries into that family, she will indeed die within a month, just like the previous bride the Gu family married.

"Based on my observations over the past two days, I now know that it is the Duchess who is behind all this trouble in the Duke's mansion. She wants to kill the heir, but she doesn't have the guts to kill him directly. So she makes sure the heir's reputation as a jinx will spread so far that no one will dare to marry him."

A prince who cannot marry will naturally have no children and will not be able to inherit the title. The title of Duke of Zhenguo will naturally fall to the son she gave birth to.

I guess if I die, the Duchess will definitely not arrange another marriage for the heir.

Unfortunately, she met me. I will make her regret asking the Emperor for a marriage decree, and avenge her for causing my elder sister's suicide.

Rong Yingluo had already guessed Su Jingyi's purpose. As for whether she had other purposes, they would find out later.

"Yingluo, how does Prince Gu treat you?" Madam Rong still hoped that her daughter would have a good marriage.

"Mother, he and I are just strangers. I don't want to be a real husband and wife with him, and I plan to divorce him as soon as I have the chance."

"I am a Taoist priest and have no intention of getting married. I don't want to rely on a man for the rest of my life. Once I'm free, I'll travel all over the country with my master, which will be the happiest thing for me." Rong Yingluo had already planned her future path.

Once she cures the old lady's poison and helps her take control of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, no one will dare to plot against her anymore.

It shouldn't be difficult to ask the old lady to request an imperial decree for divorce from the emperor.

Moreover, the two families are too far apart in social standing to be suitable for marriage.

Once Gu Ce's reputation for being a wife-killer is dispelled, countless noble ladies in the capital will be vying to marry him. If she continues to hold the position of the heir apparent's wife, she will surely attract scheming from various women. She doesn't have the time to deal with those women.

"Alas." Madam Rong sighed heavily.

Taoist priests can also get married, so why is the daughter so stubborn?

"We'll talk about this later." Although Rong Zhengqing also hoped that his daughter could marry into a good family, Taoists were people outside the secular world, and marriage was not a necessity for them. He could understand this.

"By the way, when are my second and third brothers coming back? I haven't seen them in so long." Rong Yingluo missed her two older brothers very much. If she hadn't been in such a hurry to get married, her two brothers would definitely be there.

"They went on a journey and are currently in the Eastern Yue Kingdom. We'll have to wait a while longer." Rong Zhengqing has never relaxed his efforts in educating his children.

For a family to go further, the upbringing of its descendants is of utmost importance.

Let the children go out and gain experience so they can be more adept at taking over the family business in the future.

"Did your eldest sister cause any trouble after she woke up?" Rong Yingluo asked, showing concern for her eldest sister again.

"We sent her out before she woke up. The guards came back with the message that she did make a scene, but you've already married in her place, and there's no going back."

For the sake of her family, she knew what was important and obediently went to Qingyun Temple. Rong Zhengqing knew what kind of person his eldest daughter was, and made a quick decision not to let any rumors spread at home.

"Master, Young Master Qin has arrived," the butler announced from outside the door.
