Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Ulanara Huimin held back her tears and told the story.

It turned out that she came to seek justice for her daughter.

Hexi knew very little about this cousin whom she had only met a few times. She only heard the Queen mention her once, and said that she had married a newly-minted Jinshi.

"I remember that my cousin married the Jinshi Gao..." He Xi couldn't remember.

Since there was no need for her to recall, Ulanara Huimin opened up and narrated with gritted teeth.

Although the family that Ulanara Huimin married into was not of high status, it was still a downgrade for her cousin Liu Jiaxinqi.

After all, the man she married was very poor and had nothing but a widowed mother at home.

Liu Jiaxinqi's father was impressed by the man's talent and betrothed his daughter to him without hesitation.

They were indeed very loving in the first one or two years, but the good times didn't last long.

The man's widowed mother was a difficult person to get along with. She thought Liu Jiaxinqi was a delicate young lady from an official's family and disliked her because she couldn't do housework.

Liu Jia Xinqi also felt aggrieved. Although she was not a noble lady, her father and mother loved her very much, and she came with many maids and servants as a dowry, so there was no need for her to work so hard.

I didn’t expect that my mother-in-law’s outrageous actions had just begun.

First, an orphan girl from a fellow villager named Ruohong came to the house, and the mother-in-law insisted on keeping her.

Liu Jiaxinqi didn't refuse either. After all, more people would have to ask for more.

It would be nice if her mother-in-law would stop giving her trouble.

After crossing the clear road, the mother-in-law arranged her to live in the room of Liu Jiaxinqi's husband Gao Yang.

Only then did she realize something was wrong.

But if she told Gao Yang, he would just say she was overly suspicious.

Liu Jiaxinqi is a typical good wife and mother. Naturally, she would not doubt her husband's words and reluctantly let it go.

But she didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

From then on, she often saw Ruohong dressed up beautifully every day and chatting and laughing with her husband.

Liu Jiaxinqi felt more and more that something was wrong, but when she asked her husband about it, his answers became more perfunctory each time, and he even angrily accused Xinqi of being narrow-minded and intolerant.

Liu Jiaxinqi was both angry and anxious, so she had to endure it for the time being.

Later, Ruohong and Gao Yang's relationship became more and more open.

When Liu Jiaxinqi went to question her, she was told that she wanted to take a concubine on the grounds that she had no children.

The one who accepted it was Ruohong.

Liu Jiaxinqi collapsed instantly. She was afraid that she was the only one in the family who was kept in the dark.

She didn't want to believe that her husband, who had said sweet words to her and made vows to her in the past, would actually betray her.

But facts speak louder than words. Her mother-in-law thought she had Liu Jiaxinqi under control, so she brought Ruohong home on behalf of Gao Yang in a fair and open manner.

In grief, Liu Jiaxinqi's health deteriorated, and now she has to take medicine all the time. The affairs of the mansion were also handed over to Ruohong by her mother-in-law.

If it weren't for the power of Liu Jia and Ulanala, she would have been divorced and sent home.

However, the blows continued to come.

If the villain Ruohong succeeded, he would think he had defeated Liu Jiaxinqi and would go to her to show off and tell her everything.

Only then did Liu Jiaxinqi realize that she had been deceived like a fool all along.

Ruohong's full name is Zhang Ruohong, and Liu Jiaxinqi's mother-in-law's surname is also Zhang.

They are aunt and niece, and Zhang Ruohong is Gao Yang's cousin.

In the early years, it was mentioned that Zhang Ruohong should marry Gao Yang. They were childhood sweethearts.

But as Gao Yang went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, the relationship ended.

Gao Yang is a talented person, otherwise he would not be favored by Liu Jiaxin and Qi Ama.

After arriving in Kyoto, Gao Yang realized the importance of personal connections.

But he was just a farmer's son, so he had no connections, so he set his sights on finding a son-in-law from the list.

He has been busy running around in various banquets these days, but the results have not been good. Many people look down on him because he comes from a farming family.

This further strengthened his desire to stand out.

However, due to his heavy thoughts, he did not perform well in the examination and ultimately only got a rank of Jinshi.

Fortunately, he was actually noticed by someone.

The person he fell in love with was Liu Jiaxinqi's father, Liu Jiayiwen.

Gao Yang concealed the fact that he had a fiancée from the countryside, and gladly accepted Liu Jiayiwen's olive branch, and suddenly became Liu Jia's son-in-law.

Gao Yang's mother was very angry when she found out. If Gao Yang got married, what would happen to Ruohong?

So Zhang set out for Kyoto with all his belongings.

I also brought Ruohong with me.

After arriving in Kyoto, after Gao Yang's explanation, Zhang understood Gao Yang and stopped talking, hoping that Gao Yang could make a name for himself.

He also kept silent about Ruohong's existence.

The only one who was kept in the dark from beginning to end was Liu Jiaxinqi.

Gao Yang ate what was in his bowl and looked at what was in the pot. He picked up the bowl to eat the meat and put it down to curse.

He brought his childhood sweetheart home step by step, only then did his true intentions become clear.

After Liu Jiaxinqi knew the truth, she almost went crazy. She became the villain who broke up lovers in Ruohong's mouth.

Ulanara Huimin burst into tears as she spoke, and even more terrifying things were yet to come.

Liu Jiaxinqi proposed a divorce. Since you two love each other, she is not annoying anymore.

As a result, Gao Yang firmly disagreed and imprisoned Liu Jiaxinqi in the mansion in disguise.

Hearing this, He Xi was deeply puzzled as to how the young and ignorant girl could feel that imprisoned love was so exciting, when it was obviously a great harm to the body and mind.

Liu Jiaxinqi fell ill out of grief and anger, and her illness became worse and worse. She was on the verge of death several times.

If it weren't for the careful care of the maid and nanny who came with her as a dowry, she would have died long ago.

Liu Jiaxinqi was very smart. She keenly sensed that something was wrong. It was obvious that she had only caught a cold at the beginning, but now she was seriously ill.

All of this revealed that something was wrong.

But she really couldn't escape from this cage-like mansion.

Out of desperation, she took the opportunity of going out of the house once a month to buy things and asked her maid to deliver the letter she wrote when she was conscious to Liu Jia's house.

After receiving the letter from her daughter, Ulanara Huimin felt a chill run up her spine.

What did her daughter go through that made her send a letter to ask for help?

But as a woman in the inner chamber, she was helpless. She tried to find out what Liu Jiayiwen was thinking, and the result was not optimistic.

I am afraid that if the letter is true, Liu Jiayiwen will choose to keep quiet.

How could Ulanara Huimin watch her only daughter suffer?

Out of desperation, she submitted a request for an audience to the palace.

Originally, Ulanara Huimin didn't have much hope. After all, her friendship with the queen had been very limited over the years.

Unexpectedly, the palace quickly agreed to her request for an audience.

The Queen had a good life in recent years and had more empathy for Ulanara Huimin.

If this is true, then Gao Yang is truly a complete scumbag.

He Xi also felt sorry for her cousin. She had the impression that Liu Jia Xinqi had a very good reputation before she got married. She didn't expect that she would end up in such a situation now. It was really sad.

Men are afraid of choosing the wrong career, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and this was even more so in ancient times.
