As soon as Sheng Junwei opened her eyes, she realized that Sheng Ruijiao had also lived a second life, and one step earlier than her.

In her previous life, she was clearly married to Zheng Yiyang, the second son of the Duke’s family.

Now, she has become the wife of Pei Yu, the only son of the Prime Minister.

"Look at the way you are now, how can you compete?"

During the banquet, when Sheng Junwei was pushed into the water by her sister Sheng Ruijiao, she suddenly understood.

On the eve of the wedding, Sheng Ruijiao specially wore a beautiful phoenix coronet and bridal robe to mock her: "Look, I'm about to enter the Duke's Mansion, and I'll have endless power and wealth in the future. And you, your wedding dress can only be pieced together with the scraps of cloth I left behind. Sheng Junwei, you are destined to crawl at my feet. I am the real daughter of the Sheng family."

In her previous life, Sheng Junwei married Zheng Yiyang, the second son of the Duke’s Mansion.

Zheng Yi Yang was very ambitious and voluntarily went to Qingzhou shortly after his marriage. He not only built bridges and roads, but also generously donated money to help disaster victims, and his political achievements were remarkable.

Within two years, she was recalled to the capital and entrusted with important tasks. Her career soared rapidly. Sheng Junwei was therefore honored as Lady Haoming and enjoyed great glory.

On the other hand, Sheng Ruijiao married Pei Yu. In the aristocratic circles of Shengjing, the two of them were recognized as a perfect match. She even regarded marrying Pei Yu as the greatest dream and honor of her life.

However, after getting married, she discovered that Pei Yu already had someone else in his heart and had always treated her as a younger sister.

Sheng Ruijiao, who had been spoiled since childhood, could not tolerate any grievance. The two of them quarreled every day, causing unrest in the Prime Minister's Mansion and causing Mrs. Zhang, the Marquis, a lot of headaches.

Pei Yu also disliked Sheng Ruijiao's willful and domineering nature, and never stepped into her room after marriage.

Sheng Ruijiao gradually became like a prisoner in the backyard, with her mother-in-law being dissatisfied and her husband despising her.

Unable to endure such a torturous life, Sheng Ruijiao dared to have an affair with the second prince, but the affair was exposed unexpectedly.

In order to protect himself, the second prince pushed everything onto Sheng Ruijiao, accusing her of seducing him first.

In the end, Sheng Ruijiao drank a pot of poisoned wine and died.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up, she found herself back to the starting point.

At this time, Sheng Ruijiao looked at Sheng Junwei struggling in the water and jumped into the water resolutely.

She thought to herself, how could someone as lowly as Sheng Junwei be worthy of being Madam Hao Ming? This time, the honorable seat should belong to her.

After jumping into the water, her personal maid shouted for help: "Hurry up, someone, the second young lady has fallen into the water!"

Zheng Yiyang, who had just come out of the toilet, heard the call for help and ran to the water's edge.

Sheng Junwei who fell into the water was not panicked. She knew what was going on based on the fact that Sheng Ruijiao was wearing the same clothes as her and the eye contact they had just had.

Since she is so eager for this marriage, let's make it happen.

Sheng Junwei took a deep breath and sank to the bottom of the water.

Almost at the same time, Zheng Yiyang arrived and saw a person struggling in the water. He jumped into the water without hesitation and swam towards the person.

Before he could get close, Sheng Ruijiao pounced on him and wrapped her arms around his waist like a vine.

Zheng Yiyang finally brought her ashore, only to find that the person in his arms was not Miss Sheng Da, the one he had a blind date with, but Miss Sheng Er.

He wanted to let go, but Sheng Ruijiao fell into unconsciousness as soon as she got ashore, and her hands were still tightly holding his clothes.

The guests who came to visit rushed to the poolside and witnessed this scene.

In the rain, the young master of the Zheng family and the second daughter of the Sheng family hugged each other tightly, and their clothes were soaked.

On the water, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family was struggling and was about to sink. Fortunately, the servants quickly pulled her back to the shore.

"Master Zheng didn't save his fiancée, but saved the second daughter first. This is really strange."

"Alas, the Second Miss's reputation is ruined now. Unless Young Master Zheng changes his mind and marries her, she will probably have no place to go in her life. Who in the capital would dare to propose marriage to her?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Ruijiao seemed to wake up from a dream and struggled to break free from Zheng Yiyang's arms in tears.

"What happened today is all my fault. Young Master Zheng was kind enough to save me, but he accidentally confused me with my sister. Ruijiao knows that I cannot absolve myself of this sin. I wish to live a quiet life and never marry again."

There was sighing all around.

"That being said, the Second Miss is innocent. One can tell a person's true character before they even marry. It is a perfect ending for Master Zheng to marry the Second Miss."

"But what about the eldest daughter?"

Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Sheng Junwei.

After being rescued to the shore, the trembling Sheng Junwei "fell into coma" at the right time, avoiding the moral torture and being unwilling to play the role of the compassionate person.

She wanted Sheng Ruijiao and Zhou to come and beg her. After all, the anxiety of having her reputation damaged at this moment did not belong to her.

As Sheng Junwei "fainted", the guests gradually dispersed.

Zhou, who rushed over after hearing the news, almost couldn't stand.

"Is it because that girl didn't want to enter the Zheng family and deliberately set up a trap to frame you?"

Zhou was furious and started scolding her daughter as soon as she closed the door.

Sheng Ruijiao, after going through the baptism of water, was in better spirits and laughed happily: "Mom, I volunteered. I am willing to marry into the Zheng family. As for the hell of the Prime Minister's Mansion, leave it to Sheng Junwei."

Zhou's eyes widened in disbelief, wondering if her daughter was unconscious after falling into the water. How could she give up the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family and choose the Zheng family?

"A wealthy family like the Prime Minister's Mansion is the dream of many women. Now that they have chosen you, it is a great joy. How can you say it is a hellhole?"

"Mom, Pei Yu has someone in his heart and won't even look at me. I absolutely don't want to marry him."

Zhou was half-believing and half-doubting, so he sent someone to investigate and found out that it was true.

But Zhou was still confused.

"Even if they don't want to go, your mother and father can find another good match. Why must they go to the Zheng family?"

Sheng Ruijiao smiled mysteriously: "Mother, you don't know that Zheng Yiyang will be the top scorer in the imperial examination one day, and I will be Madam Hao Ming."

Zhou looked at her daughter in astonishment, as if she had seen a ghost.

"If Zheng Yiyang is really talented, how could he have been in the Imperial Academy for three years without any promotion?"

Sheng Ruijiao turned a deaf ear to it.

"Mother, you live deep in the inner palace, how can you understand the ups and downs of the officialdom? Didn't father fail to get promoted for many years? Didn't mother try her best to become his second wife?"

These words touched upon an old wound in Zhou's heart, and her expression changed.

Seeing this, Sheng Ruijiao quickly changed the subject.

"Anyway, I have made up my mind to marry Zheng Yiyang."

"It's nothing I can do if you don't agree. With so many people watching, my reputation is ruined. If you don't allow me to marry him, I will have no choice but to become a nun and live in the temple."

Zhou was furious, feeling hateful and annoyed, blaming herself for giving birth to such a stubborn daughter.

So what if Pei Yu has someone else in his heart?

She's the principal wife as soon as she gets home, so why can't she rule over a concubine?

Besides, if it weren’t for this, our family wouldn’t have had the opportunity to curry favor with the Prime Minister’s Mansion. She herself was ten years younger and would have been willing to jump in.

For now, we have no choice but to call this matter abort.

When Mr. Sheng found out, he was also furious.

"I think you've spoiled him. He doesn't even want to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he's always dreaming about the future. If a pie falls on his head, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch it."

Zhou was scolded for no reason, but she could only swallow her anger.
