The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Xu Shulan had engaged her in-laws years ago, and would be marrying into the He family in a month - when Chu Heyi learned the news, she had already been at the Xu family for a month.

The He family is a well-known wealthy business family in the local area. They mainly do water business, and they also have relatives in Shengjing City. They can be said to be the only dominant family in the local area.

In terms of family background, Xu Shulan's marriage into the He family was like marrying up. It was also said that the young master of the He family was also very handsome.

"What do you mean by a handsome man?" Shi Liu, Xu Shulan's personal maid, said, "As our young lady would say, he is all show and no substance! He often goes to those shady places and I heard he was sick. The scariest thing is that he already has a wife and a concubine who have died."

Shi Liu was angry and terrified. She whispered in Chu Heyi's ear, "I heard that the way they died was very strange. They all died in bed, and there was not a single piece of good flesh on their bodies. It shows that the young master of the He family is really violent. If our young lady marries him, she will die."

Not only Xu Shulan was sad, but Shi Liu was also sad. She and Miss Xu grew up together and had a deep love for each other. Moreover, now that Miss Xu had gotten into trouble, how could her life as a personal maid be any better?

"Since the young master of the He family is not a good match, why do you want to marry your young lady to him?" Chu Heyi asked in confusion.

Shi Liu lowered her voice and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the Xu Mansion is now prosperous. In fact, it is getting worse every year, especially in the past two years, it has been losing money. The He family is willing to pay a betrothal gift of 10,000 taels, so the master agreed."

Chu Heyi took a deep breath. She originally thought that selling daughters only happened in remote and poor villages, but it turned out that even the daughter of a noble family would encounter such a thing.

She told Xu Shulan that she was willing to take her to escape the marriage, but Xu Shulan refused: "If I leave, what will happen to my parents and sisters? The He family will not let the Xu family go. I can't leave."

Chu Heyi didn’t quite understand Xu Shulan’s idea - her family was about to sell her out, but she still had to think about her family.

She couldn't persuade Xu Shulan, but Xu Shulan had indeed saved her life, so she didn't leave Xu Shulan. Instead, a month later, she followed Xu Shulan and married into the He family.

The wedding was grand and went smoothly, but when Xu Shulan sat on the wedding bed, her whole body was shaking.

The young master of the He family was indeed a waste of time. He drank on the wedding night and drove out all the maids brought by Xu Shulan after entering the bridal chamber. He took off all Xu Shulan's clothes, tied her to the bed, and whipped her.

The sound of crying filled the bridal chamber, but only a nanny from the old lady of the He family came to persuade them. However, she only advised the young master of the He family not to cause any death, otherwise it would end badly.

The He family seemed to be accustomed to the actions of the young master of the He family. The old woman only gave one word of advice and then left. The other servants were even more numb and acted as if it was none of their business.

When Chu Heyi sneaked back to the bridal chamber, Xu Shulan had been beaten to a pulp, bleeding profusely, and wished she could die.

Chu Heyi took out the dagger he had hidden earlier, slowly approached behind the young master of the He family, and while he was not paying attention, stabbed the dagger from the back of his neck, directly piercing his throat.

The young master of the He family didn't even see clearly who killed him, and he fell on Xu Shulan, with his eyes never closed until his death.

Xu Shulan was completely stunned, her eyes were fixed, and she was completely unable to react.

Chu Heyi looked at her and said, "Miss, I will repay you for saving my life in the past."

She didn't untie the rope on Xu Shulan and ran away directly. This was to prevent people from putting the blame on Xu Shulan for killing the son of the He family. How could a woman with her limbs tied up kill the son of the He family?

The truth was soon exposed, and the He family and the Xu family joined forces to hunt her down. She kept fleeing, escaped death, fell into the river, drifted downstream, and was then rescued by Chu Bian.

Xu Shulan moved into Yongxin Palace.

Chu Heyi said to her, "You can stay here. The prince and I will hold a banquet in the future and invite young talents to attend. You can go and see if there is anything you like."

Xu Shulan nodded: "Thank you, Crown Princess."

She told Chu Heyi that although she did not kill the young master of the He family, he died because of her. The Xu family also gradually fell into decline because of this, so her eldest brother brought her to Shengjing City to make a living.

Now that her eldest brother is dead, she is completely homeless.

After she finished speaking, she fainted and lost consciousness, so Chu Heyi had to take her back to the palace.

Xu Shulan once saved Chu Heyi's life and gave Chu Heyi a home, so today, five years later, as long as Chu Heyi could do it, there was no reason for her to ignore her life or death.

After Xu Shulan moved in, Chu Heyi assigned a nanny and two palace maids to serve her, and also arranged for an imperial physician to take care of her health.

After waking up, Xu Shulan was very quiet. She was either doing needlework or reading. She would only personally bring soup or pastries to Chu Heyi when she had stewed them. She basically did not take the initiative to look for Chu Heyi at other times.

She said to Chu Heyi: "When I find a husband of my dreams and get married, I will leave the East Palace and not cause any trouble to the Crown Princess."

Chu Heyi said: "Marriage is a lifelong event, you can take your time to find the right one, there is no need to rush."

Xu Shulan smiled bleakly and said, "I don't know if anyone would be interested in a girl like me, who is old and has no family background."

Chu Heyi comforted her: "It will happen. The world is vast, and there will always be someone who will come for you, just for you, and nothing else. That person will not mind your past, but only wants to have a future with you and form a family with you."

"Thank you, Princess Consort, for comforting me. I feel much better now. Next time I make some pastries, I will send them to you." Xu Shulan smiled at her, bowed and stepped back.

Chu Heyi looked at her increasingly plump body and smiled.

What made her even happier was that news came from Yizhou saying that the local unrest had been suppressed.

Xie Lin held the letter and said, "My father-in-law said in the letter that he should have guarded Yizhou City. After all, the King Cheng and his wife are eyeing them covetously. But there are Wang Shan, Ding Sheng, and Qin Yi in the area, and Lord Wen in the dark, so he plans to come back and send Huihui off to marry."

It was indeed good news. Chu Heyi's worries of the past few days were swept away. She read the letter again and again. Although the content was brief, the tone was firm. It was indeed a handwritten letter from her father.

"There is one more thing." Xie Lin continued, "This morning, the Queen sent someone to say that she has left the palace and will stay at the Grand Tutor's Mansion for a while."

"The Queen is leaving at this time?" Chu Heyi was a little surprised.

Xie Lin nodded, indicating that this was absolutely true.

The emperor has been "seriously ill" and has not recovered yet. He has always stayed in Taiji Palace and has never gone out. When the queen left, everyone knew that the palace, or the entire Daqi, is now completely controlled by the prince and the princess.

Time flies, and the grass and trees have changed from a little green to a thick green brocade. When the wind blows, it seems like green waves are rippling to the corner of the sky, which is magnificent.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and the marriage between Chu Hui and the young master of the Liu family was just around the corner.
