After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

The written test has just ended, and now is the break time. The martial arts test will be held in half an hour.

Yan Xuanji looked towards the door more than once, but was disappointed every time.

The written test was over, but that woman and my second brother hadn't arrived yet.

Probably won't come.

In fact, it was within her expectations.

Her second brother was unwilling to marry that woman on behalf of her eldest brother, which showed that he did not like that woman. How could he listen to her and come to the school?

Well, it wasn’t the first time such an event had taken place, and no one from her family came to support it.

The eldest brother only thinks about eating, drinking and having fun and is unwilling to come. The second brother is even more of an iceberg and refuses outright every time.

She's used to it.

But she still felt sad when she saw other classmates and brothers joining the fight.

"Yan Xuanji, is there no one coming to your house again?" a classmate asked her.

Yan Xuanji felt that the word "again" was extremely irritating, and just as she was about to reply, someone spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Isn't it normal that no one came? When her eldest brother was fine, no one came. Now that he is lying at home and no one is around, how could anyone come?"

"Doesn't she have a second brother?"

"I didn't tell my family at all. My second brother is busy with work and I didn't want to disturb him." Yan Xuanji replied unhappily.

Hearing this, several people laughed.

"Really? You don't want to disturb me, or you can't disturb me?"

"I heard from my father yesterday that the Dali Temple had just solved a major case, and the Emperor, sympathizing with the hard work of Lord Yan and his subordinates, allowed them to take two days off."

"Oh, you know what's going on, but you don't say it. It's not just the first day that her second brother is busy. He's busy every day. Otherwise, can you tell me which school activity has Master Yan visited?"

"It's normal for no one to come to the family. For a concubine's daughter to be able to attend school is a blessing that she has cultivated for eight lifetimes."

"That's right. As a person, you can't be too greedy. You can't have everything, right? So, it's okay. If no one comes from home, then no one comes. You should think that being able to come here to take classes is a great blessing, right?"

A classmate patted Yan Xuanji on the shoulder and comforted her in a sarcastic tone.

Yan Xuanji's face turned red.

Although it was not the first time that she was ridiculed by these people, she was still so angry that she wanted to beat them up.

Her hands were clenched into fists under her sleeves, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms, but she forced herself to hold back.

She knew that the opportunity to study here was hard-won and was obtained by her aunt and her father.

Her father was a close friend of Mr. Gu from Siyuan School, so Mr. Gu opened this back door.

If she punched these daughters of noble families in the face, she would never be able to learn again.

Just as he was about to walk away silently, he suddenly heard a voice as clear as pearls: "Third sister."

Yan Xuanji's heart trembled and he turned his head away.

Others followed the reputation.

Not far away, there was a graceful woman in a moon-white brocade skirt, a white gauze hat on her head, and a food box in her hand.

Although her face was covered by a veil and her true appearance could not be seen, judging from her posture and listening to her voice, she must be very beautiful.

Yan Xuanji's eyes lit up with joy: "Sister-in-law."

Although she was the only one there and her second brother was not there, it was a great comfort to her at this moment.

The classmates nearby were all very surprised.

"Your sister-in-law?"

"When did you get a sister-in-law?"

"The wife of your undead brother?"

Yan Xuanji ignored these people and walked towards Ning Miao.

But these people were very curious and would not let her go easily, so they followed her.

"Yan Xuanji, are you trying to be brave and pretend to be someone you found somewhere to impersonate my sister-in-law?"

"I also think, who would want to marry a living dead person?"

"That's right. Look at her wearing a veil and not even showing her face. There must be something wrong."

Yan Xuanji couldn't stand it any longer, she stopped and was about to reply to the others, but someone spoke before her.

"My dear sisters, first of all, my husband is not a living dead. He just needs some time to wake up."

It was Ning Miao who spoke.

"Secondly, I wear a veil not because I am afraid to show it to others, but because I am a married woman and it is not good to show my face in public. My sisters are all people who read the books of saints and understand emotions and reason. You really shouldn't say such things."

As Ning Miao spoke, he lifted the veil of his hood with one hand, revealing his face.

Everyone was stunned.

I was stunned by her words and her pretty face.

At the door not far away, Yan Mobai and his two servants happened to hear and see this scene.

Yan Mobai's eyes narrowed slightly and he stopped.

Chi Feng and Lan Ying also stopped and looked at each other, understanding why their adults reacted that way.

They were also surprised by the woman's performance.

In my impression, she is a meek and timid person, whose eyes turn red and whose speech becomes stammering when things get troublesome.

But she just now... Although her voice was still soft and gentle, it was neither too fast nor too slow, neither too humble nor too arrogant, and every word she spoke was precious. She even had a faint aura of intimidation and awe.

Here, everyone was silent for a while.

After a while, someone spoke up: "How could the wife of the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion not even have earrings?"

When everyone came to their senses, they discovered that the woman not only had no earrings, but she had no jewelry on her body.

Then the ridicule began again: "It seems that he is really a fake."

"Yan Xuanji, where did you find this person? It looks like she is also a concubine's daughter, right?"

"Is there any need to ask this? Which legitimate daughter would help others do such a thing?"

"No legitimate daughter would be this poor."

"I think this woman is quite pretty. Could she have been found from a brothel?"

This sentence caused everyone to laugh.

"Don't tell me, it's really possible."

Seeing that her words were recognized and applauded by everyone, the woman who talked about red-light district became more excited.

"With this look, she must have a lot of patrons, right? Haha."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a crisp "slap" sound and she was slapped hard on the face.

She was stunned.

Everyone was stunned, including Yan Xuanji and the master and his servant who were watching the fun not far away.

Ning Miao put away the hand that was about to slap the other person.

The beaten woman covered her face with disbelief in her eyes: "How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? I am the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue!"

Yan Xuanji was also terrified. She grabbed Ning Miao's sleeve, not knowing how to end the situation.

Ning Miao patted the back of her hand gently and looked at the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

"I don't know who you are. I slapped you just because you said something mean. It's a small matter that you insulted me. I don't mind it."

"But you cannot insult the Yongchang Marquisate. I am the wife of the eldest son of the Marquisate. You said that I was a prostitute with many patrons. Aren't you insulting the Marquisate?"

Her voice was still soft and her tone was not harsh, as if she was speaking reasonably, but her words gave people an invisible sense of oppression.

The daughter of the Minister of Revenue was so angry that her face turned blue, but she couldn't say anything to refute.

He could only grit his teeth and said, "My brother is in the shed over there, he will definitely make the decision for me. I will go back and tell father, and he will also make the decision for me."
