In her dream, after she died, Cheng Yujin saw the whole story from another angle.
To be more precise, it was the story of how Cheng Yumo and Huo Changyuan met.
The second daughter of the Marquis of Yichun was innocent and lively. Her parents doted on her. One winter, she followed her aunt to the mountain villa for a short stay. One night, it was snowing heavily. She went out for a walk and was accidentally blinded by the wind and snow. When she regained consciousness, she was lost.
She stepped on a man on the side of the road. When she turned him over, she found that he was an extremely handsome man. The second daughter blushed. When she saw that the man was injured, she kindly dragged him to a cave and carefully took care of him for the whole night.
When it was midnight, the snowstorm outside finally subsided. The man's fever subsided. Suddenly, his body trembled and he cried out in cold. The kind-hearted heroine had no choice but to take off her clothes and press her skin against the man's cold armor. She used her body to warm him up.
When dawn finally arrived, the heroine stumbled to the mountain villa to call for help. However, when she returned, she found that the twin sister had already rescued the injured man.
From then on, the man mistakenly thought that the sister was his savior. He was very grateful and even took the initiative to propose marriage to the sister. The sister and the man's engagement was grand, but the poor sister was curled up in bed and coughing.
When Cheng Yujin saw this in her dream, she couldn't help but spit.
No wonder Huo Changyuan said "it's you" to her when he woke up. No wonder Huo Changyuan insisted on marrying her. No wonder when the Huxue Clan came to propose marriage, although they were smiling, they always looked at Cheng Yujin with disdain.
It turned out that Cheng Yumo and Huo Changyuan already had physical intimacy. A man and a woman alone for a night was shocking enough. In order to warm Huo Changyuan, Cheng Yumo even unbuttoned her clothes and hugged him with her body!
Cheng Yujin unknowingly became the vicious sister who claimed credit for herself. She was also inexplicably thought to have lost her innocence. How would the Huo family view her when they were preparing for the wedding?
No wonder she thought that her actions were perfect and that no one in the capital was more qualified than her. However, the Huxue Clan still dared to humiliate her like that.
In the eyes of the Huxue Clan, Cheng Yujin stole her younger sister's credit and was a traitor. In the eyes of Huo Changyuan, Cheng Yujin was full of lies. She was obsessed with money and power, and she deliberately humiliated his white moonlight. She was a vicious woman through and through. In the eyes of her mother-in-law, Cheng Yujin pretended to be noble and virtuous, but when she was still a daughter, she seduced her son. She was a bitch who deserved everything.
Cheng Yujin's death was really satisfying. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When Cheng Yumo came to accompany Cheng Yujin to take care of her pregnancy, Cheng Yumo couldn't stand the torment in her heart and painfully told her brother-in-law the truth. When Huo Changyuan learned the truth, he was shocked and heartbroken. Now that Cheng Yujin, the vicious woman who took over the nest of a magpie, was finally dead, Huo Changyuan proposed to marry Cheng Yumo to correct all the mistakes.
However, this was a story of physical and mental abuse. When Cheng Yumo learned that her sister was dead, she felt guilty and refused to marry Huo Changyuan no matter what. She even wanted to shave her hair and become a nun to cut off her mortal ties. Huo Changyuan chased her, Cheng Yumo hid, Huo Changyuan forcefully took her, Cheng Yumo took the initiative and cried as she refused. In the end, when the Huxue Clan saw that their son cared so much about another woman, they became possessive and wanted to marry their distant niece to Huo Changyuan. Huo Changyuan was in great pain and forced himself to accept the new woman. At this time, Cheng Yumo suddenly thought it through and decided to marry Huo Changyuan to take care of her sister's son.
When Cheng Yujin saw this, she was disgusted to death. Look at her good husband and good sister. Even in death, they didn't let her have peace.
Afterwards, after many melodramatic and torturous twists and turns, Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo broke through all barriers and finally became a couple. Cheng Yujin was just an evil sister and ex-wife in their love story. She was a stepping stone to promote the development of the relationship between the male lead and the female lead. In contrast, her sister was a kind and beautiful background.
Later, her son grew up to be a dandy, a sharp contrast to Cheng Yumo's biological son. In these few years, Huo Changyuan's power and influence grew rapidly. Because of his contributions, Huo Changyuan was placed in an important position by the new emperor, the former crown prince, and became a cornerstone of the imperial court. At the same time, Marquis Jingyong's heir was famous for being ignorant and incompetent. On the other hand, the second son was smart and studious, motivated and filial.
When Cheng Yujin's son was 16 years old, Huo Changyuan was resentful of him for not living up to expectations. He removed him from the position of heir and threw him out to fend for himself. Later, her son got drunk at night and accidentally fell into the river, ending his life.
The last trace of Cheng Yujin's existence in the world disappeared.
With the death of her son, the dream gradually collapsed. Cheng Yujin suddenly woke up from the dream. She was drenched in cold sweat. She raised her hand and found that it was still the 22nd year of Jianwu, the 14th year of the weak crown prince's disappearance.
She was 14 years old and had just gotten engaged to Huo Changyuan.
Cheng Yujin lay in bed for a long time until the sky outside gradually brightened. Outside the window, the sound of servants walking around could be heard.
She thought about a lot of things. Part of it was about the dream, and part of it was about the present.
In the gap between the disintegration of the dream, she vaguely saw the words "The Tale of the Twins: The Domineering Marquis's Playful Wife Ends". She thought for a long time and laughed at herself. Idlers watching a play, how would they know that they were also part of the play? It turned out that she was the hypocritical sister in other people's stories, the vicious ex-wife.
Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo resented her for taking the credit for her sister. However, she really felt that she had saved Huo Changyuan.
She had found Huo Changyuan in the cave. There was no one around, and Huo Changyuan's clothes were still on his body. She naturally felt that Huo Changyuan had fainted here and she had coincidentally found him. How could she have known that not long ago, someone had already spent a night with Huo Changyuan and had even had a physical relationship?
She had saved a life, so it was reasonable for Huo Changyuan to use the position of his first wife in exchange. She was confident that she would be a perfect wife. After she married into the family, she would be filial to her mother-in-law, take care of the household, and take care of her husband and children. From a perfect noble family's daughter, she would become the perfect Marchioness.
She had been adopted as soon as she was born. Others envied her for having two mothers. One was gentle and meticulous, while the other was a noble adoptive mother. Cheng Yujin had been raised by Princess Qingfu. It was not like she had been moved from a silver nest to a golden nest. She had endless money to spend and endless happiness to enjoy.
However, although the Nguyễn Clan loved her dearly, they loved their daughter even more. Although Princess Qingfu spent money like water, she did not spend it on her. Outsiders saw Cheng Yujin as a beautiful woman, but only she knew that she had nothing.
She had no mother, no father, and she did not even have her own dowry.
She was just a beautiful signboard. Marrying Huo Changyuan was the best way out for her. When she first married him, she really wanted to be a good wife.
She thought back to yesterday when Cheng Yumo suddenly rushed into her room without any regard for etiquette and stared at her for a long time. Cheng Yujin had a perfect smile on her face as she asked, "Second sister, what's wrong?"
Cheng Yumo suddenly asked without rhyme or reason, "Older sister, are you happy like this?"
What? At that time, Cheng Yujin was confused. What was she talking about?
Cheng Yumo finally said, "What's not yours will not be yours in the end." Then she ran out.
Yesterday, Cheng Yumo did not know the truth. She was immersed in the joy of preparing for her wedding. She only thought that her younger sister was speaking nonsense on a whim. She shook her head and smiled. Unexpectedly, after Cheng Yumo left, Cheng Yujin had a nightmare that night. She dreamed of a snowy night and of that book.
Now that she thought about it, it did not make sense that the person who refused to tell the truth before marriage in her previous life would suddenly change her personality. There could only be one reason, and that was that Cheng Yumo also knew about the book. In fact, she was Cheng Yumo in her previous life.
It seemed that Cheng Yumo ran out yesterday to tell Huo Changyuan the truth. Today, Huo Changyuan came to cancel the engagement.
Mama Zheng looked on helplessly as the First Young Lady smiled and stood up. The six golden embroidered cloud brocade dresses scattered like flowing water. It was as if the stars in the sky had fallen on the First Young Lady's dress. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
The Flowing Cloud Shoes gently walked towards her, but the First Young Lady's wide horse-faced dress did not sway at all. Her steps were light, and the corners of her dress did not move. The walking etiquette that had driven countless noble ladies in the capital to death was actually so easy and natural for Cheng Yujin.
While Mama Zheng was still in a daze, Cheng Yujin had already walked past her. Dugeaux hurriedly put a red cloak on Cheng Yujin and asked in a low voice, "Young Lady, where are you going?"
"To see my fiancé."
"Young Lady!"
"What are you afraid of?" Cheng Yujin smiled. "I, Cheng Yujin, am the eldest granddaughter of Marquis of Yichun, the eldest legitimate daughter of Princess Qingfu, and the granddaughter of Prince Ning. For fourteen years, everyone has praised me as the model of noble ladies in the capital. What kind of man can't I marry? Why should I be insulted like this? "
Dugeaux and the others had thought that Cheng Yujin was going to make a scene in the front hall. Although it was sad to say that, it was too shameful for a young lady to cry in front of her ex-husband's family after her engagement was broken off. Lian Qiao hurriedly said, "Young Lady, it's best that you can think it through. Young Lady, you are beautiful and of noble birth. No matter which family you marry into, they will benefit. Marquis Jingyong must have been bewitched by someone. That's why he acted impulsively and did something wrong. The news hasn't spread yet, so it's not too late. You should go and ask the Old Madame to suppress the situation. Although it was the man who proposed to break off the engagement, it's not good for Marquis Jingyong's reputation. The Old Madame will definitely be able to save this marriage. "
"That's right. It's better to tear down ten temples than to ruin a marriage. Young Lady, go to the Madame's room first and let her take you to Shou 'an Hall. The Madame is a princess. With her permission, even Marquis Jingyong won't dare to bully you. "
Cheng Yujin smiled. "Who told you that I'm going to save the engagement?"
The maidservants were stunned. "Ah?"
"I'm going to break off the engagement myself."
