After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Yongchang Houfu.

The Marquis was having a banquet in the Huating Courtyard. The First Lady Jin and two concubines were sitting in the main hall, looking at the graceful woman in plain clothes standing in the center of the hall.

The woman had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, rosy skin and lips, and she half-lowered her eyes in a gentle and timid manner.

"How can I believe what you say?" Yan Huating spoke first.

The woman just said that the eldest son of the Marquis's family, Yan Changjing, met her when he went to the south of the Yangtze River three months ago. They fell in love with each other. Yan Changjing promised to marry her after returning to Beijing to report to his family. She waited for a long time without any news, so she came to find her.

The woman took something out from her sleeve, walked to Yan Huating with lotus steps, and presented it respectfully with both hands: "This is the token of love that Yan Lang gave me that day."

It's a jade pendant.

Yan Huating reached out and took it.

The woman took a few steps back and stood still, very sensibly.

Yan Huating lowered his eyes and looked at the jade pendant in his hand.

"It is indeed my son's."

He gave it to Yan Changjing on the day he came of age.

"What do you think, Madam?" Yan Huating asked Jin.

Jin is the mistress of the household and also Yan Changjing's biological mother.

Jin looked at the woman again and said, "Do you know that something happened to Chang Jing a month ago and now he is lying on the bed unconscious, and the imperial doctors are helpless?"

The woman's eyes instantly turned red, tears filling her eyes: "I...heard about it after I came to Beijing."

"So, even so, you are still willing to marry him? He may wake up tomorrow, or he may never wake up in his life. Even if you have to be a widow for the rest of your life, are you willing?" Jin asked.

The woman nodded firmly, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

Several people present were somewhat moved by what they saw.

Jin leaned over to Yan Huating's ear and whispered in a low voice, "Why don't you stay? It's rare to have a lover. If Changjing really likes her, it will be good for Changjing's condition if she takes care of him. Maybe he will wake up."

Yan Huating nodded.

They had originally wanted to find a relative for Yan Changjing to celebrate his good fortune, but no prominent family in the capital was willing to marry their daughter to an unconscious living dead person.

Although this girl came from a very ordinary family, she was loyal, righteous and willing.

Moreover, she looks delicate and soft, and seems to be easy to control.

"Okay, since you said there is no one else in the Jiangnan family, you can stay in the Marquis' Mansion. My son promised you the status, and we will give it to you." Yan Huating said.

When Yan Mobai walked into the main hall, he saw the woman with a pale face, tears in her eyes, and a gentle look of gratitude.

"Why are you calling me here so urgently?"

A familiar voice came, and the woman's fingertips under her sleeves clenched instantly.

Yes, she is Ning Miao.

In her previous life, she returned to Prince Kang’s Mansion after coming down from the tree on the cliff. This time, she would naturally not go back.

Let King Kang think that she fell off the cliff and died. She will never be loyal to a man like that again.

There are two reasons why he went to Yan Mobai's Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

First, she had been poisoned by King Kang for three years, and the antidote required the umbilical cord blood of Yan Mobai's offspring, so she naturally had to start with him.

Second, she wanted to destroy what King Kang had strived for with all his might, which would cause him more pain than killing him. And against King Kang, Yan Mobai was the sharpest knife.

So, she decided to come to Yan Mobai.

However, it was difficult to gain the trust of someone like Yan Mobai, and she could not get close to him at all, so she had to start with other people in the Marquis' Mansion.

Yan Changjing is his elder brother, a playboy, idler, spending his days cockfighting, running errands and addicted to gambling.
