Dongling Kingdom, Capital City, the second year of Tianyou.
April 12th is a special day for the Chen family, a distinguished family.
The old man Chen Shaoan, who died on the battlefield thirty years ago, came back safe and sound.
Upon hearing the news, the terminally ill Madam Su Nianyun took a strong breath and walked to the old lady's courtyard holding on to the wall.
Standing at the door, she did not push the door open immediately, but looked inside through the crack in the door.
She has been a widow for thirty years and sad for thirty years.
I never expected that my husband, whom I missed so much, would appear in front of me again in this way.
That back was as straight as it was thirty years ago.
Time seems to have left no trace other than making him more mature and steady.
And she...
Su Nianyun tidied her hair and clothes unconfidently.
He is less than fifty years old, but his hair is already full of white hair, and he looks as haggard as an old man in his seventies.
She was afraid to see him.
After much hesitation, Su Nianyun finally figured it out.
It's great that he's not dead!
It was God's mercy that she still had the chance to meet him while she was still alive. She made up her mind to go in and get to know each other as husband and wife.
The moment she raised her hand to push the door open, she suddenly heard a sigh from the old lady sitting above her.
"I have not allowed you and your wife to come back all these years. Do you hate me, an old woman?"
Su Nianyun was stunned.
"Everything my mother does is for the good of the Chen family, and my son understands it!"
This is Chen Shaoan's voice.
"On the contrary, the son is useless, he will not be able to pass the exams for meritorious service, he will not be able to achieve military success, he will not be able to revitalize the Chen family, and he will not live up to his mother's expectations."
"As long as you understand," the old lady turned her head to the gentle middle-aged woman next to Chen Shaoan, "Zhou Yao, do you understand?"
"My daughter-in-law understands," Zhou Yao nodded along with her husband, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to have the slightest bit..."
At this time, the two young children nestled in her arms couldn't sit still and kept fighting with each other.
Zhou Yao hurriedly stopped them, "Don't make trouble, let my great-grandmother see the joke!"
"What's the matter? I'm old and I like to have fun. Your second and third brothers haven't added great-grandchildren to their families yet..."
The old lady turned her attention to the awkward young couple again.
"Grandma can't help you. She has made you live with your parents for so many years. Once the funeral of that person is done, grandma will ask the elders of the Chen family to write a genealogy for you."
"Mom, don't worry about the family tree. Let them keep her filial piety for her!"
Chen Shaoan spoke calmly and calmly, as if he was talking about an insignificant person.
"Although I don't love her, after all, she dedicated her life to the Chen family. She has no children..."
Hearing this, Su Nianyun sat softly on the ground.
A group of living people were talking about the aftermath of her death.
Especially the words coming out of Chen Shaoan's mouth were like knives.
It turns out that this person doesn’t love her!
There was a sweet and fishy feeling in the throat, but Su Nianyun swallowed it back hard.
Since I don't love her, what's the point of our original vow of eternal love?
He said that he would only love her for the rest of his life and would never let her down.
He said that he would personally defeat the enemy's army and avenge her father, brother, and family, so that she would not marry him in vain.
Therefore, he chose to go on an expedition on his wedding night and never came back.
Everyone said that she was the master of her father, but only the old lady still treated her as her own daughter.
For Chen Shaoan's undying love, and for the old lady's mother-daughter love that stood out against all odds, she gave all the Su family's property and the dowry given by the Queen Mother and the Emperor to the Chen family.
Relying on these, the declining Chen family has once again become the first of the eight great families in Dongling Kingdom and regained its former glory.
The desperate Su Nianyun wiped away the bloody tears from the corners of her eyes.
She supported the wall and stood up, no longer thinking about going in to see her husband.
That room was not filled with people, but wolves, tigers and leopards that were eyeing him covetously.
It's a pity that what the Queen Mother saw right away back then, she spent her whole life verifying.
Seeing the shadow leaving the crack in the door, Zhou Yao, who was sitting next to Chen Shaoan, showed a triumphant smile.
This woman has occupied her position for too long. Now that she has entered, there is no reason to let Su Nianyun live another day.
After returning to the dilapidated Xikuoyuan with difficulty, Su Nianyun's eyes turned dark.
A pair of hands helped her in time.
"Sister, are you okay?" Zhou Yao's hypocritical face appeared in front of Su Nianyun.
She had already bribed the old ladies guarding the yard, and she deliberately let this woman in.
"You are an ambitious outsider, there is no need to pretend here!" Su Nianyun shook off her hand.
"Sister, what you said is wrong. According to the order of priority, I am the first wife. It was you who took my place..."
"I think you are very capable. Since it is your position, why don't you guard it well?"
"There is no way," Zhou Yao shrugged, "My family has been in decline for a long time, and I can't do anything to help the Chen family."
"I also thought about driving you away, but then I heard the news of my uncle's death, and even though you were insulted and gave birth to a child, you still stayed in the Chen family, so I changed my mind..."
"What did you say?" Su Nianyun's eyes went dark and he could no longer see the woman's face clearly.
"Don't you know, sister? The reason why you can't abort the child is because the doctor prescribed you not an abortion pill at all, but a miscarriage pill."
"You were not born stillborn, but I asked Po Wen to lie to you."
"I didn't want to face the child, but I gave birth to him. After ten months of pregnancy, I wanted to treat the child well, but he died again..."
"Isn't it heartbreaking to feel like this?" Zhou Yao spoke softly about the cruelest past events.
"I heard that the family that adopted the child was very poor, so he was sent to work when he was very young. One day he did something wrong and was beaten to death by his employer."
"Think about how my uncle and I are happy and happy, but someone is working hard to run the Chen family with guilt and despair, so that we can have enough food and clothing. From then on, I don't hate you for taking away the position of my head wife..."
"puff!"
The blood that Su Nianyun had suppressed for a long time finally spurted out, and she leaned against the door and slid down.
Seeing that the other party fell down and had little chance of survival, Zhou Yao did not have the patience to wait for her to take her last breath, but instead ordered the girl behind her.
"You watch here and notify me as soon as she dies."
"Yes." The little girl nodded.
After the master left, the little girl tiptoed to Su Nianyun.
Looking at the blood on her lapel, she tried to shout a few times, "Madam, Madam..."
But Su Nianyun opened her eyes again.
The moment she opened her eyes, the little girl's face was full of disappointment. How could someone who vomited so much blood not stop breathing?
Su Nianyun took a breath and said, "I want to eat the rock candy cake from the store in the east of the city. Can you buy it for me?"
"Madam, I'm not here to run errands for you." The little girl refused.
She was anxious to wait for someone to die so that she could go back and deal with her master as soon as possible!
"When I am about to die, I only have this small wish. This is a reward from the Queen Mother..." Su Nianyun took off the jade bracelet from her wrist with great effort, "This is the only one that foreign countries pay tribute to."
"I'm going to die soon, and I still have a lot of things I can't take with me. You go and buy rock candy cakes, and I'll give you the rest."
When she saw the bracelet of high quality, the little girl's eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, the eldest lady, who had been deprived of power and was in such a low state, would still have so many treasures.
She praised, she was indeed the adopted daughter of the late Queen Mother!
Anyway, Madam just asked her to go back and report the death news, so she wouldn't waste anything if she went out for a while.
Thinking of this, she immediately said, "Madam, just wait, I will buy it for you right now!"
After carefully hiding the bracelet close to her body, the little girl ran away.
As soon as she left, Su Nianyun took out the silver needle from his sleeve and pricked his heart.
This injection jolted her sluggish spirit, and it was also the last moment of recovery.
Soon, the servants' exclamations came from the beaming front yard.
"Old lady, uncle, second master, third master, it's not good..."
"The warehouse is on fire!"
When everyone rushed to the warehouse, the old lady's eyes widened in horror.
"I have the key to the warehouse. How did she get in?"
In the light of the fire was Su Nianyun's withered figure. She was holding a torch. Wherever the torch touched, a raging fire immediately ignited.
"Nian Yun, why are you doing this? Stop it now. Shao An is back now, and you are still his legal wife. No one can challenge your position!"
The old lady glanced at Zhou Yao fiercely.
On the way here, she had already heard from her servants that Zhou Yao went to find Su Nianyun.
Right now, we need to stabilize this woman first. She is deeply in love with Chen Shaoan.
Zhou Yao's face turned pale.
She had already spoken to that point, and Su Nianyun at this time was afraid that she would no longer care about any feelings.
She, this is going to be a dead end!
The lifeless eyes reflected the horrified and heartbroken looks of the old lady, Chen Shaoan, Zhou Yao and others.
She knew that what they were heartbroken about was not her, but the millions of dollars in wealth.
"The Chen family's fortune was built on my dowry, so they should be buried with me!"
Su Nianyun walked into the raging fire without hesitation, while leaving behind a vicious oath.
"The pain you have caused Su Nianyun in this life will be repaid a hundred times in the next life!"
