We agreed that I would be married off to a short-lived general, but why is my husband so powerful?

"Why do I get the feeling that my elder sister is eager to break off her engagement with General Yue?"

As if remembering something, Wen Rushi suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! I remember now, so what you said before about not wanting to marry General Yue was true!"

No wonder... no wonder my sister insisted on bringing me to the Marquis's mansion to celebrate his birthday, no wonder she called me to this guest room...

I've never done anything to wrong you, sister, why... why are you treating me like this...?"

At this point, a hint of vulnerability appeared on Wen Rushi's pale face, and her thin body swayed slightly. She looked like a frostbitten cabbage in the field, which aroused the sympathy of some onlookers.

Before Wen Rushi ascended to immortality, fighting and acting were commonplace in order to obtain cultivation resources.

She's adept at playing the victim and acting, and she's got it all figured out.

Wen Rushi noticed the change in everyone's attitude.

Wen Qingci's expression changed.

She never said that, so how did Wen Ru know that she didn't want to marry Yue Lingyuan again?

Could it be that she was reborn as well?

impossible!

If Wen Rushi had also been reborn, she wouldn't have been so easily outmaneuvered and ended up with that short-lived Yue Lingyuan!

She's the only one whom God truly favors!

Thinking of this, Wen Qingci finally felt relieved.

In her previous life, she schemed against Yue Lingyuan on the day of her maternal grandmother's birthday banquet and successfully married into the Yue family.

Not long after marrying into the Yue family, Yue Lingyuan went to the border and lived happily ever after with that woman there.

She lived as a widow in the general's mansion for several years. Later, General Yue died in battle, and good soldiers died on the border. In order to seek peace, the court gave all of Yue's family members in the capital to the Tartars.

In the Tartar army camp, as Yue Lingyuan's lawfully wedded wife, she suffered endless torment. In the end, the barbarians dismembered her alive and threw her into a large pot to cook her...

Before she could even breathe her last, those Tartars used knives and forks to cut off pieces of flesh from her chest, dipped them in salt, and ate them…

The knife and fork were dull, and when they cut my flesh, it hurt so much, it hurt so much…

Recalling her experience before her death in her previous life, Wen Qingci couldn't help but tremble.

After she died, she became a ghost and wandered around. She saw that her half-sister had married a scholar named Cai. After the Jurchens established their country, he, as a Han Chinese, became an important official in the court, while her half-sister became a high-ranking official's wife.

What made her even more envious was that Scholar Cai had devoted his entire life to his half-sister!

He did not take in a single concubine!

Since God has given her a second chance at life, wouldn't it be a waste of God's good intentions if she missed out on the opportunity to marry Cai, the scholar?

So she devised this plan.

In this life, she not only wants to live to be a hundred years old, but she also wants to be an official's wife and never again be a lamb that can be slaughtered and cooked at will!

Now that Wen Rushi and Yue Lingyuan have already consummated their relationship, she is not worried at all that she can never marry Cai Juren or become an official's wife.

"What is my sister saying? I don't understand at all," Wen Qingci said, suppressing her emotions and feigning innocence.

She guessed right. Wen Qingci didn't want to marry Yue Lingyuan. So who did she want to marry?

Recalling the jealousy in Wen Qingci's eyes, a repulsive face flashed into Wen Rushi's mind...

No matter how innocent Wen Qingci appeared, the ladies present were all shrewd and calculating.

This whole situation might not be as simple as it seems to everyone.

Yue Lingyuan, who had remained silent, looked at the scene before him with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Just as everyone's gazes toward Wen Qingci grew increasingly strange, Lady Zhongyong Marquis stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "So that's where everyone went! The young people couldn't help themselves; it's nothing new. The play has begun, ladies, please move to the garden to watch it!"

With a single sentence, she condemned Wen Rushi for sleeping with her future brother-in-law.

Lady Zhongyong was, after all, the hostess, and guests should follow her lead. Since the hostess had spoken, even if everyone regretted not seeing the final outcome, they could no longer crowd into the guest rooms and could only leave the guest courtyard, looking back every few steps.

Soon, only Lady Zhongyonghou, the Wen family mother and daughter, and Yue Lingyuan, the person involved, remained in the guest room.

Whether it was because the previous exertion was too intense or because her body was too weak, Wen Rushi felt her legs were extremely weak and found a chair to sit down.

This mortal body is weak.

After dying in her previous life, Wen Rushi was reincarnated into a place where cultivation was possible, and it took her nearly a thousand years to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Now, because of a dream, she has once again become the insignificant illegitimate daughter of Minister Wen's family.

If it were just an ordinary period, it wouldn't be so bad, but the Great Jin Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, and she is now just an ordinary mortal woman with no ability to protect herself.

So annoying!

She has absolutely no clue how to leave this world!

Could it be that she intends to spend her entire life in this chaotic world?

Wen Rushi thought about her current situation and her heart sank to the bottom.

Chen was the first to ask, "Young General Yue, how do you suggest we resolve this matter?"

Without waiting for Yue Lingyuan's reply, he sighed and said, "Fine, since General Yue and the Second Miss have already consummated their relationship, then your marriage with my Qingci is off the table."

A flash of joy crossed Wen Qingci's eyes. "Mother, my sister is so in love with General Yue that she is willing to ruin her reputation just to... General Yue, why don't you marry my sister? Although she is a concubine's daughter, she is still my father's bloodline."

More than ten years ago, Yue Lingyuan's grandmother went to a temple to burn incense and suddenly fell ill. Wen Jincheng saved her life, and the two families then arranged this marriage.

"She doesn't deserve it!" Mrs. Chen retorted sharply, but remembering what her daughter had told her, she ultimately didn't refuse.

Upon hearing the mother and daughter's words, Wen Rushi composed herself, reverting to her previous gentle demeanor, and said coolly:

"Mother and sister, don't you know I'm already engaged? A woman serving two husbands—the Wen family has always had a distinguished reputation. Do you want to throw away the Wen family's honor?"

Wen Rushi's fiancé in this life is a poor scholar. His father has some connection with Wen Jincheng, and in addition, he has some talent for studying. That's why Wen Jincheng brought out this forgotten illegitimate daughter and arranged this marriage with the poor scholar Cai Zhixing.

She deliberately suppressed her nausea and brought up the marriage proposal to test her suspicions.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Wen Qingci's expression changed immediately, and a hint of nervousness flashed across her face. "My sister is already General Yue's woman, how can she still marry Scholar Cai?"

The Cai family and our family have been friends for generations. Mother, given the current situation, I'm afraid Father will have a hard time explaining things to the Cai family! Perhaps, my sister and I could switch marriages, so Father wouldn't have to break his promise to the Cai family.”

Mrs. Chen sighed, "You're such a kind-hearted child! You think of others, but why don't you think of yourself? What kind of good place is the Cai family?"

"Fine, at worst, your mother will give you more dowry. The Wen family must not break its promise."

The mother and daughter were so engrossed in their conversation that they practically switched the couple's marriage on the spot.

Yue Lingyuan remained silent throughout, watching the farce with an expressionless face, his attitude unreadable.

Wenru was very surprised that this older sister was actually so clever as to want to switch marriages with her!

This is interesting.

Cai Zhixing had some talent for studying and was also good at scheming. After the Tartars entered the pass, he was the first to surrender to them.

His way of surrendering was to offer up his wife and daughters and send them to the Tartar camp to be defiled by the Tartars!

Wen Rushi was naturally unwilling, but that despicable man actually threatened her with the children, saying that if she tried to kill herself, her two children would accompany her in the underworld!

In the end, she could only humiliatingly enter the military tents of those Tartars.

Later, Cai Zhixing became an official in the new dynasty as he wished. However, for the sake of his future, he treated her with respect on the surface, but in private, he still gave her to his superiors to play with in order to get promoted.

As Wen Rushi recalled those unbearable past events, a flash of hostility crossed her face.

Cai Zhixing!

She almost forgot about that bitch!
