Autumn of the sixth year of Zhengde in the Daxuan Dynasty.
Gongjiang City.
At dawn, the sky has just turned white.
A wall covered with moss and weeds surrounds two dilapidated houses and forms the west courtyard of Anfu. The ground is covered with dead leaves.
A young woman with skin as good as snow, with cloud-like hair on her temples, and thin clothes, leaned weakly by the door, with a pair of autumn eyes on her delicate and charming face, staring at the dead leaves on the ground, her tears were like pearls threaded on a thread.
One after another, there was a smile on the corner of the mouth.
This scene happened to be seen by An Zhixuan, a nine-year-old boy who had just woken up from the bed.
It seems like crying but not crying, it seems like smiling but not smiling. It's over. Sister, won't you be confused again?
He quickly ran over and hugged her tightly to prevent her from doing anything stupid.
This move made the young woman a little confused, and she didn't know whether to push him away.
The young woman's name is An Qianru, and she is the eldest daughter of the supervisory censor An Tai.
Her lips are red without any spots, her eyebrows are green without paint, her face is like a silver basin, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright, she is really a tall and graceful beauty.
However, she became an abandoned woman at the age of eighteen.
After I woke up from drowning the day before yesterday, I was imprisoned by my family in this lonely shabby yard, with only my younger brother by my side.
Although it was a bit desolate, she really didn't think about dying.
Not only have I never thought about it, but I also cherish this opportunity to live.
But the reason cannot be explained clearly to anyone, especially a child.
"Although I have the same name as your sister, I am not her. I am just in your sister's body as soon as I open my eyes."
If you say something like this, you will only be considered crazy and possessed by evil spirits.
Suddenly, a roar was heard.
The door was kicked open, and a group of people surrounded the original father and poured in.
An Qianru was startled and stepped back involuntarily, not wanting to step on her younger brother Zhixuan.
In panic, both siblings fell down.
The original concubine, Mrs. Liu, was a few steps away and shouted to her servants to tie her up.
Zhixuan hurriedly got up and blocked the door.
However, he is just a child, how can he stop a strong domestic servant?
The original father, An Tai, kept saying forget it, but Mrs. Liu refused to comply. While calling her servants to tie her up, she instigated her children to stop An Tai.
"Master, you must not be soft-hearted! This bitch did something immoral and was abandoned by her husband's family. Our An family has been disgraced, and now they are taking money to elope with others. If you don't put it in a pig cage, you will be punished in the future.
How can you hold your head high in the officialdom? How can the An family gain a foothold in Gongjiang City?"
"Dad, if the second sister did something like this, how will my sister and I get married in the future? Zhihui has been bullied by his classmates in school these days because of this."
"Dad, don't punish your sister. She is still sick, Dad."
An Tai didn't agree with Liu's approach in the first place, and now he couldn't bear it when he saw Zhixuan kneeling softly in front of him and crying like a tearful person.
But Liu's three children blocked him extremely tightly, trapping him aside and unable to move but watching.
In the blink of an eye, Qianru's hands and feet were tied.
In her previous life, she was the eldest daughter of the Hou family. Her father was devoted and never took a concubine. Her younger brother was more like an elder brother and took great care of her. She had no chance to witness the tricks of concubines and concubines.
When he woke up after being reborn, he knew nothing about the original body. He only knew that the original body was an abandoned woman like his previous life, and he had a younger brother.
Now, after listening to the shouting of the Liu family and her daughter, I found out that she actually had a dark history of eloping with money, and the money was money from her biological brother who never left her.
To be precise, it was a legacy left to Zhixuan by his late mother.
This mistake is truly unforgivable!
But these were done by the original body, not by her. She should not be the innocent one to bear the pain of being stabbed in the spine and the humiliation of being dipped in a pig cage.
In the previous life, I was born as a medicine pot, so that after I got married, I was disliked by my husband and looked miserable, and was unable to prosper my husband.
Married twice and was divorced twice.
She was unexpectedly reborn into a body with good health and a pleasant face. She didn't want to die without doing anything.
Seeing that two servants with strong arms were about to stuff her into a pig cage, she fought back and screamed, "Don't you have laws in the Daxuan Dynasty? You abuse lynching and kill people at will, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"
An Tai is an upright official and a supervisory censor. He always picks up the mistakes of others. How can he allow such ridiculous things as pig cage soaking to happen in his own home?
Qianru's roar directly defeated the distracting thoughts in his mind.
He lowered his face, broke through his five-year-old son Zhihui, opened it up and stepped forward to stop the servant.
Qianru was saved. At the same time, she also saw clearly that in this family, only her younger brother Zhixuan and her father Antai had good intentions.
Zhixuan anxiously untied the rope for her, but the rope was thick and hard and tied with a tight knot. He, a weak child, could not untie it at all, so he cried anxiously.
Liu's mother and daughter were unwilling to let her go and still encouraged An Tai to execute her.
"Sir, if you think that soaking in a pig cage is too ostentatious and is not good for your official reputation, why not hang her with a white silk ribbon? Anyway, she has already drowned and it will be said that she died of a sudden illness!"
"Shut up! Why are you so cruel? Even if she is not your biological child, she is still a human life!"
An Tai personally untied the ropes from Qianru's hands and feet and walked away.
A room full of aggrieved Mrs. Liu chased after her to explain, and then left.
Although the danger had passed, Qianru was still a little frightened, and Zhixuan threw herself into her arms and cried again, which only increased her anxiety.
The current situation is really difficult!
This is undoubtedly an unprecedented challenge for the yandere young lady of the Hou family who has been loved by thousands of people since childhood.
Just when she was thinking about how to deal with her future life, An Qianwen, the third sister of her concubine Liu's house, returned.
She has a small round face and big apricot eyes that look like they contain a pool of autumn water. She is a beautiful woman.
However, she is beautiful, but she is far inferior to her sister An Qianya, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Gongjiang City.
An Qianwen's voice was gentle and gentle, and her face looked kind, but in fact she was talking nonsense.
She used hard and soft tactics to get An Qianru to take the initiative to regret her marriage in front of the father of the family, and let her sister An Qianya take her place, in exchange for a chance of survival.
What engagement, what does it mean?
Qianru was confused.
It wasn't until Zhixuan choked up and told the inside story that she realized there was a hidden story behind the original person's elopement.
"Sister, Mr. Li who lied to you was actually Aunt Liu and others who plotted against you. That night, I heard everything clearly under the wall of the east courtyard."
In order to seize the original person's new marriage contract, the original person's concubine did not hesitate to bribe a pretty boy to meet the original person.
Use false feelings to trick the original person into taking the bait, causing the original person to be ruined.
Although An Qianwen did not admit it, the pride and cunning on that pretty face had betrayed her thoughts.
How abominable!
An Qianru was blatantly bullying her concubine, and An Qianru replied coldly and arrogantly with two words: "Dream!"
In order to show his protective power towards his sister, Zhixuan waved his fist wildly and drove An Qianwen out together with her.
What a good brother!
Even if she has to live her whole life with a bad reputation, she is content to have such a good brother to rely on.
She couldn't help but gently press Zhixuan's soft and waxy face, and couldn't help but think of her brother An Jingheng in her previous life.
The elder sister was supposed to take care of her younger brother, but she was frail and sick and had been soaked in medicine jars since she was a child. As a result, she became the one being taken care of.
Ever since she was little, the thing she wanted to do most was to hug her brother.
But no.
I was afraid that if I hugged him, I would infect him with his illness.
She is fine now. Even though her current body has many flaws, it is still very healthy. She would not even sneeze when she drowned. She can be close to her brother with confidence.
