Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

Dou Miaojin came out of Xuancao Hall in a daze. Lu Changyuan followed her. When they reached a deserted place, Lu Changyuan looked at her pale face and was a little confused. "Miao'er, don't you want to marry me?"

Dou Miaojin saw Shuangxi making faces at the side, and she didn't know how to answer Lu Changyuan's question for a moment, so she apologized and walked aside.

Shuangxi leaned close to her ear and said, "Miss, I heard something important."

"What's the matter?" Dou Miaojin glanced at her, hinting to her that it had better be a big deal, otherwise, she would make Shuangxi pay for it.

Shuangxi's heartbeat was very fast and her breathing was erratic. "Young lady, I heard that the eldest young lady was adopted and is not a twin of you. The eldest daughter of the Dou family should be a young lady, and the eldest young lady has taken the title of a young lady!"

Dou Miaojin was so shocked that she could fit an egg in her mouth. How come this incident got exposed before its due date?

She had her back to Lu Changyuan, so he didn't see her.

"Miao Jin!" Lu Changyuan couldn't bear the thought of the betrothal gift. He felt sorry for Dou Miao Jin, so his tone was very gentle.

Dou Miaojin calmed down and came over and said, "Brother Changyuan asked me if I was unwilling to marry you. How could Miaoer not be willing? It's just that I heard something and I feel really uncomfortable."

Lu Changyuan's heart was about to melt, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that my sister is not the daughter of the Dou family at all. She was adopted. It must have been the evil thing done by that damn midwife back then. She swapped my sister with me." Dou Miaojin burst into tears.

Lu Changyuan was stunned. This matter was of great importance. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. "Are you telling the truth?"

Dou Miaojin nodded, "Yes, it has spread all over the mansion."

"Then where did Jin Zhao come from?" This matter was of great importance, and Lu Changyuan's first thought was the dignity of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

If the girl was brought by that damn midwife from those obscene and dirty places, would he still have any shame once this matter was exposed?

For a moment, Lu Changyuan's face turned pale, his fists were clenched, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

Dou Miaojin was frightened by him. "Brother Changyuan, don't be angry. I only heard half of the story. It depends on what my parents say. Otherwise, why don't you come back to the Dou family with me?"

"In that case, why not call your sister along as well!" Lu Changyuan's face was so dark that it seemed like water was about to drip from it.

Dou Jinzhao had changed his clothes in advance. Lu Changyuan came over alone and told him about the doubts about his background. Seeing that Dou Jinzhao was indifferent, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Did you know this a long time ago?"

Dou Jinzhao smiled and said, "If I say no, will the Duke believe me?"

Lu Changyuan didn't believe it.

Dou Jinzhao stood up and said, "Duke, let's go. The Dou family has arranged for someone to call me back. I don't know anything about this matter. If you want to ask, you can only ask my father and mother."

The three of them rode back to the Dou family together. Dou Jinzhao rode in one carriage, and Lu Changyuan and Dou Miaojin rode in another carriage.

At this moment, Dou Miaojin's mind was in a mess. In her previous life, Dou Jinzhao's life experience was only revealed at the end. She had originally planned to use this secret to trap Dou Jinzhao in the quagmire and prevent her from ever getting up, but not now.

The love poison in her body has not been cured, she cannot be a real couple with Lu Changyuan, and she still needs Dou Jinzhao to help her block the way. Now everything has changed, all the directions have changed.

The wedding date was moved forward, and Hong Ran could not be contacted. She would marry Lu Changyuan in three days.

Three days later, why did she refuse to consummate her marriage with Lu Changyuan?

If she and Lu Changyuan had sex, the love poison would be out of control. Where is Hong Ran now? No, she must find Hong Ran as soon as possible.

Lu Changyuan held Dou Miaojin's hand, "Miaoer, don't be afraid!"

Dou Miaojin seemed to be burned by his hand and shrank back suddenly. Meeting Lu Changyuan's puzzled eyes, Dou Miaojin came to her senses and said with a sad face, "Brother Changyuan, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now!"

"It's okay. I know you've suffered a lot. If this is true, everything you have was taken away by Dou Jinzhao. This... is really unfair."

Dou Miaojin was still worried. "Brother Changyuan, don't blame me. This matter has nothing to do with me. It's just that..."

She pursed her lips, still unable to suppress the greed in her heart, "I should have been the one who was originally engaged to Brother Changyuan! I should also have been Brother Changyuan's first wife. I am not the daughter of the Dou family, and I am really uncomfortable being stuck in the middle for no reason!"

Looking at the tears on Dou Miaojin's face, Lu Changyuan also felt upset.

Dou Yi and his wife did not expect Lu Changyuan to come. They had not figured out how to tell this matter to Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Their purpose in asking Dou Jinzhao to return to the mansion was to discuss it with her. This matter should be suppressed for the time being and exposed at the appropriate time.

Lu Changyuan was placed in a side hall, and he felt it was understandable that he could not participate in the Dou family's discussions for the time being.

Dou Yi was furious, "Jin Zhao, why did you bring Duke Dingguo here?"

This is really a false accusation!

She also understood that by now, she had lost her value in the eyes of Dou Yi and his wife.

Dou Jinzhao glanced at Dou Miaojin, "Father, do you think I really want Duke Dingguo to know about this? Duke Dingguo's mansion is the most powerful in the capital. As the mistress, is it decent for me to expose my background issues?

You should ask your second sister. After all, if my background is unknown, I am not worthy of being the mistress of the Duke Dingguo’s mansion.”

It was indeed Dou Miaojin who told Lu Changyuan about this matter. She was in a difficult situation at the time and acted on impulse, and now she has no way to stop it.

"Father, this matter will be exposed sooner or later. Instead of letting others tell Brother Changyuan, it's better for us to tell him ourselves."

She seemed very embarrassed. "On the way here just now, Brother Changyuan was very angry. If it weren't for me, who knows what would have happened."

She said "Oh", "Brother Changyuan said that the emperor has issued an order that my marriage will be scheduled in three days."

Three days later, so urgent?

Dou Jinzhao thought about it for a moment and understood. If Guo Xiao led the troops to attack Southern Shu as the commander-in-chief, and Ling Qingchen, as the commander-in-chief of the northern front, would return to Beijing in the near future, then the commander-in-chief of the northern front would have to be changed, and it could only be Lu Changyuan.

Needless to say, it was the Queen's idea that Ling Qingchen should return to the capital. If it weren't for Hong Ran's prescription, she would not survive this winter. Naturally, she would not let Ling Qingchen stay in the army for a long time. Once the emperor passed away, she could lead her army back to the capital to force the emperor to abdicate.

Ling Qingchen might not do this, but the Queen would definitely be on guard against this.

In order to prevent Lu Changyuan from missing out on his wedding night a year ago, and also to prevent Lu Changyuan from being childless if he died in battle, the emperor ordered Lu Changyuan to marry Dou Miaojin three days later.

This was exactly what she had planned, so she was not surprised at this moment.

All these things piled up at once, and Dou Yi frowned.

Madam Dou was so shocked that she almost jumped up, "Three days later, you are not... "

"Mother, why are you so anxious!" Dou Miaojin puffed up her cheeks, "This marriage was originally supposed to be between me and Brother Changyuan. I was originally supposed to be Brother Changyuan's legitimate wife."

Dou Jinzhao smiled, "What a pity! The emperor has already issued an order, which is a solemn promise. From now on, even if I die, it will not be your turn to be Lu Changyuan's legal wife!"
