But she didn't expect that the Left Commandery Prince would suddenly die two days before their wedding.
Thinking that the Left Commandery Prince was thrown down from the building because he fought for the title of Courtesan, Bai Xiwan felt humiliated.
Now people were saying that she was a jinx to her husband.
Otherwise, why would the Left Commandery Prince be fine after fighting for the title of Courtesan for so many years? Why would he suddenly die a few days before their wedding?
She was the one who suffered losses, but now people were saying that she was a jinx to her husband.
Gossip was a fearful thing. Even if Bai Xiwan had a thousand mouths, she couldn't explain it clearly, not to mention that the news was released by the Left Commandery Prince's Mansion.
Because of the rumor that she was a jinx to her husband, no one cared about her despite her beautiful appearance.
In the past, when her mother saw her face, she would smile and say, "My Wan 'er is so beautiful. You can even be an imperial concubine."
But now, every time her mother saw her face, she would sigh. A few days ago, her mother even asked her if she was willing to marry the Sixth Prince as his second wife.
The Sixth Prince was not good at literature or martial arts. In the future, he would be a prince at most. In the past, her mother wouldn't even look at him. Now, her mother actually took the initiative to ask her if she was willing to be his second wife. Did she fall into such a situation now?
Bai Xiwan felt bitter in her heart.
Especially when she heard the maid say that Nie Lve was flushed with success and the Emperor rewarded the army. Nie Lve even took the initiative to ask for a title for his wife.
Now everyone in the capital knew that Nie Lve loved his wife.
Thinking that she grew up with Nie Lve as his childhood sweetheart and that her mother once joked that she would marry Nie Lve, Bai Xiwan felt extremely bitter in her heart.
If.
If she didn't dislike Nie Lve because he was down and out, then the woman he loved like a pearl in his hand would be her.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiwan felt more regretful.
Maybe because she thought about Nie Lve all day long, Bai Xiwan started to have other thoughts.
She and Nie Lve had known each other for a long time and had even been engaged to Nie Lve. Previously, they did not get together because of a misunderstanding. Now, she knew that she was wrong and wanted to make up for this loss. Based on their friendship, Nie Lve would definitely reconcile with her on the account that they grew up together.
Even if she had to marry Nie Lve, the future minister of the Emperor, she would rather marry the Sixth Prince as his second wife.
This was because the Sixth Prince's life had already reached its end, while Nie Lve's life had just begun.
After Nie Lve's mother passed away, Bai Xi Wan had never seen Nie Lve again. Now, there was nothing left between her and Nie Lve except for the feelings they had when they were young.
If she wanted to get close to Nie Lve, she actually needed someone to introduce her to him.
After some thought, Bai Xiwan thought of Nie Lve's sister-in-law, Lin Wanxin.
When Lin Wanxin was anxious about whether Nie Lve would take revenge like her, she heard the servant girl say that Bai Xi Wan had come to visit.
Bai Xi Wan was famous for her bad luck in the capital recently.
Her husband died suddenly on the eve of her wedding. She was still a virgin, but she was already known as a jinx to her husband. Now, the noble ladies in the capital did not even contact Bai Xiwan at all. They were afraid that they would be infected by Bai Xiwan's habit of jinxing their husbands.
Hearing that Bai Xiwan wanted to visit her, Lin Wan rejected her without hesitation.
"Just say that I'm unwell and refuse."
Bai Xi Wan was not angry at being rejected by Lin Wan Xin. She continued to visit the next day.
Bai Xi Wan visited for more than ten days before Lin Wan Xin reluctantly agreed to meet Bai Xi Wan.
When she finally saw Lin Wan Xin, Bai Xi Wan showed a decent smile and asked the servant girl to bring out the gift she had prepared. "A few days ago, your servant girl said that you were unwell. I specially asked my mother to find this thousand-year-old ginseng for you to nourish your body."
A hundred-year-old ginseng was expensive, let alone a thousand-year-old ginseng.
Hearing Bai Xi Wan mention the thousand-year-old ginseng, Lin Wan Xin's attitude softened a little. "I've made you spend a lot of money."
Bai Xi Wan smiled faintly. "We're sisters. There's no need to spend a lot of money. Sister, how are you today?"
"I caught a cold a few days ago, but I'm fine now." Lin Wan Xin picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She said warmly, "Sister, you come every day. What's the matter?"
"To tell you the truth, I do have a favor to ask."
Lin Wan Xin was ready to serve tea and see her off. Bai Xi Wan did not continue to be pretentious and said straightforwardly, "I heard that it was you who asked someone to talk about Nie Lve's marriage?"
Hearing Bai Xi Wan ask about Nie Lve's marriage, Lin Wan Xin twitched the corner of her mouth unnaturally. "Yes, what's wrong?"
Ever since they found out about Nie Lve's identity, not only Nie Ce's life was difficult, but Lin Wan Xin's life was also difficult.
Every time Nie Ce was embarrassed, he would scold and abuse Lin Wan Xin when he returned home.
Yesterday, he even pointed at Lin Wan Xin's nose and scolded her as an 'ignorant woman'.
Even if others were full of evil tricks, they would still pretend to be good on the surface.
But Lin Wan Xin was an idiot. In order to drive Nie Lve out of the Duke's Mansion, she told Nie Lve about Xiao Zhen.
Nie Lve left the Duke's Mansion as he wished, but he became the General's right-hand man.
Now, everyone in the capital knew that Nie Lve used to be a dandy. If he was not driven out of the Duke's Mansion by his brother and sister-in-law, there would be no Nie Lve in the world.
The better Nie Lve treated Xiao Jiuniang, this stupid wife, the more people thought about how Nie Lve left the Duke's Mansion.
Outsiders sighed at Nie Lve's sudden change after he turned over a new leaf, but Nie Ce knew that Nie Lve did it on purpose.
Not long after Nie Lve learned how to read, his father told him that Nie Lve was extraordinarily intelligent. The teacher at home would always compare him with Nie Lve. Although he did not belittle Nie Lve, he would always praise Nie Lve.
Nie Lve's mother was seriously ill. When Nie Lve took care of his mother and delayed his studies, Nie Ce was secretly happy.
Later, Nie Lve's mother passed away. Nie Lve was unable to recover from the setback and began to abandon himself.
Later, his father passed away and he inherited the title of Duke. He began to think that his younger brother was not on the same level as him. He did not need to care about his younger brother anymore.
Later, Lin Wan Xin was tired of Nie Lve. She asked him if he could find a wife for Nie Lve and drive him out. Nie Ce acquiesced.
Even Xiao Jiuniang was sent to Lin Wanxin by Nie Ce's subordinates.
Nie Ce thought that no matter how amazing Nie Lve was before, he was now just a dandy. He should be burning incense to be able to find a wife.
What's more, although Xiao Jiuniang did not have parents who loved her since she was young, and she was not carefully taught, she was more than enough to be a good match for Nie Lve.
But who would have thought that Nie Ce would become a military counselor and become the most popular person in the capital. Nie Ce, the elder brother who once bullied him, naturally became the target of everyone's competition.
