Qian Manman's body couldn't stop trembling. "Mom, find someone else to inquire. Hurry up, hurry up."

"Okay, I'll send someone to inquire again. Madam, please don't worry yourself to death." Mother Liu walked out while saying this. When she reached the door, she hurriedly said a few words and then hurried back into the house.

In fact, the people sent to inquire had already reported back that King Dingbei's army was at the gate of the city and the second young lady was hanged on the city wall. She did not dare to tell her wife, fearing that her wife would not be able to bear it.

"I have sent someone out to inquire again. There will definitely be news about the Second Miss soon. Madam, just wait patiently."

Qian Manman struggled to get up from the bed, "Help me with my makeup, I want to go to the front yard to look for Yan Yongchen."

Madam Liu stepped forward quickly to support her. "The master was kept in the palace by the emperor last night, and he hasn't returned home yet! And even if the master returns home, he won't allow anyone from the East Courtyard to leave the courtyard. How can Madam see the master?"

"You are not allowed to leave the yard?" Qian Manman's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "Even if I have to risk my life, I have to see Yan Yongchen today."

"Madam~" Mother Liu looked at Qian Manman with a resolute expression, full of disbelief.

The lady has been married to the master for more than twenty years. Her heart and eyes are filled with her husband, and even her own flesh and blood, who she gave birth to after surviving many life-threatening situations, have to take a back seat.

She didn't understand why the deep affection that had not changed for decades would suddenly disappear without a trace? The wife no longer cared about the master, and she didn't even want to call him husband anymore. She was so cold and hard that she called the master by his name, and even when she mentioned the master, there was an inexplicable hatred in her eyes.

Why would she hate him? How could Qian Manman not hate him when she was treated like a fool from the beginning to the end and her family members suffered as a result?

Ever since she had a serious illness, she began to have intermittent dreams. In her dreams, she returned to her youth and met the handsome boy in the peach forest who made her fall in love with him at first sight. The boy smiled at her, and his smile was more beautiful than the peach blossoms on the tree.

With just one glance, she was mesmerized and could no longer see anyone else.

The handsome young man was named Yan Yongchen. He was always polite to her and never overstepped the line. But one day when he was in his prime, he said affectionately that he loved her and wanted to marry her.

When her lover proposed to her, she was so happy that she felt she was the happiest person in the world and wanted to be with the boy who loved her all the time.

But my father said that Yan Yongchen was too handsome and too scheming, so he was not a good candidate for a husband.

Even her best sisters advised against choosing a husband who is too good-looking, as that would attract countless bad romantic partners after marriage.

No matter how others persuaded her, she remained unmoved and wanted to marry Yan Yongchen. Even if it would end in misfortune, she still wanted to marry him.

In the end, her father couldn't persuade her and agreed to her marriage with Yan Yongchen.

From then on, she began to look forward to it all the time, looking forward to Yan Yongchen's success in the imperial examination, and looking forward to the day when Yan Yongchen would marry her in a grand ceremony.

She waited and waited for a long time, and finally got the news that Yan Yongchen had been ranked third in the imperial examination. At the same time, she also got the bad news that Yan Yongchen had accidentally saved the noble lady of the Su family and had to marry her.

Yan Yongchen married the daughter of the Su family. If she wanted to marry into the Yan family again, she could only be a concubine.

Her father insisted on canceling the engagement, but she was reluctant to do so. She was reluctant to leave the young man who said he loved her and asked to marry her under the peach tree.

After getting through the initial grief and anger, she struggled again and again, but still couldn't let go and still wanted to be with Yan Yongchen.

But even if she wanted to, she couldn't be anyone's concubine, so she fell ill from excessive worry and was unable to get up.

This was the first time her father got angry with her and scolded her for being useless and self-degrading. She knew that what she did was wrong, but she couldn't help it and couldn't control herself. She just wanted to be with Yan Yongchen.

After being scolded by her father, she became even sicker and couldn't even eat. She was dying as if she could die at any time.

In fact, she caused her illness herself, just to force her father to find a way to make her Yan Yongchen's wife.

She threatened with her life, and finally got her wish, and married Yan Yongchen together with the noble lady of the Su family.

As for what her father had paid, she subconsciously ignored it and did not delve into it, because only by not getting to the bottom of it could she feel at ease and free of guilt.

After marriage, Yan Yongchen treated her very well, better than any other woman in the mansion. She was very content and extremely grateful for her original decision, and fortunate to be able to spend her life with the person she loved.

Soon, she became pregnant and gave birth to her and her husband's child. Her husband thought about it for three days and personally named their daughter Xi, which means a life of good luck and happiness.

Sister Xi looks like her husband. She was very pretty and smart. She could call "Dad" and "Mom" sweetly when she was just one year old.

Now that she had a smart and lovely daughter, she wanted a son. With a son, a daughter, and a loving husband, her life would be complete.

In order to achieve the so-called perfection, she, who was most afraid of suffering, drank pregnancy medicine for a long time and finally became pregnant again. Unfortunately, the child she had waited for with great difficulty could not be kept.

Fortunately, she was a contented person, and thought that even if she didn't have a son, it didn't matter, having a smart and lovely daughter was enough.

But soon after, her sister Xi was also kidnapped by kidnappers and could not be found no matter how hard she tried.

After being heartbroken, she was afraid that her husband would dislike her, so she started taking pregnancy-maintaining medicine again, hoping to give birth to another daughter who looked exactly like her, because she really missed her sister Xi and thought about her in her dreams.

I thought the person I lost would never come back, but unexpectedly, three years later, Sister Xi was found by her father.

The Xi Jie'er who was found was no longer the lively and cute girl. She was not close to her and even unwilling to look at her directly. Occasionally, she glanced at her as if giving alms, and her eyes were so cold that they made her terrified.

Although she was sad, she also understood that the child had been wronged outside, and she should indulge him no matter what.

Later, her husband was transferred back to Luodu to take up a post, and Xi Jie'er had reached the age of marriage.

After several years, the mother and daughter finally lived together again. Although they were not as close as other mothers and daughters, it was good enough for her as long as her daughter was still there.

All of them are daughters of the Yan family. Su's eldest daughter, Bai Jiaqiu, and even her concubine's daughter are favored by young masters from various families, but her daughter Xi is ignored by everyone.

She was afraid that her daughter would be sad, and wanted to make up for her mistakes. For the first time in her life, she used dirty tricks to scheme against the youngest son of the Su family, hoping to find a good marriage for her daughter.

Unexpectedly, the marriage was not arranged and the youngest son of the Su family had his appearance ruined, cutting off his career.

She felt very guilty about what happened to the youngest son of the Su family, but the guilt in her heart was not enough for her to spend the rest of her daughter's life to fill it.

After the marriage with the Su family was called off, after many twists and turns, her sister Xi arranged a marriage with the nephew of her natal family.

She thought that although Xi Jie'er's status was lower than that of an official, she could live a rich and peaceful life, which was a good destination.

Who would have thought that Sister Xi would choose to divorce the Qian family a year after marrying into the family, and died on the way back to Luodu.

Losing my daughter again was even more painful than the first time, and it was excruciating.

Fortunately, no matter how great the pain is, there will be a day when it heals and becomes numb, and she still has her husband by her side, so the days ahead will not be too difficult to endure.

My husband's official position is getting higher and higher, and he is getting busier and busier, as if he will never be done with his work.

The crown prince fell, and the Su and Xue families were gone. Prince Rui also fell, and the Weiyuan Marquisate was gone. The princes died one by one, and in the end, it was the most inconspicuous third prince, Yu Jinzhou, who ascended the throne.

At the first palace banquet after the new emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Yan, who was rumored to have met the new emperor in the northwest and was the most favored concubine in the harem, appeared in front of people. At a glance, she recognized that it was her sister Xi.
