"Let me tell you, old lady, the eldest man, his family and my aunt will be here soon."

After waiting for more than an hour, everyone finally received the good news, and they were all refreshed.

Mrs. Ling looked happy and said in a loud voice: "Hurry up and ask someone to open the front door."

Ling Mansion only opens the side door on weekdays. Today, Uncle Ling and his family are back, and Uncle Lu, who has come from afar, naturally has to open the front door to welcome guests.

Mrs. Ling walked to the main entrance surrounded by everyone. Ling Jingshu slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, and fell at the end with Ling Xiao.

"Ah Shu, if you don't like such a lively occasion, why don't we two sneak away quietly first!" Ling Xiao whispered in Ling Jingshu's ear: "There are so many people here anyway, it won't be conspicuous without the two of us. . No one will notice."

Ling Jingshu felt warm in her heart. Ling Xiao must have noticed that she was depressed, so he suggested running away halfway.

Although no one will pay attention at this time, after this, a scolding is inevitable. More importantly, she didn't want to hide anymore.

"It only takes a while, and it will pass after you endure it." Ling Jingshu also lowered her voice: "There are many people here, don't run around, just stay by my side."

Ling Xiao never refused Ling Jingshu's decision and nodded obediently.

The two siblings held hands affectionately and were very close to each other, forming a small world of their own.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating the return of Uncle Ling's family and Uncle Lu. No one paid any attention to the siblings - even if they did, no one would find it strange.

After Yao's death and Li's marriage, the two siblings had a close relationship and depended on each other. Ling Jingshu cared for Ling Xiao meticulously, and Ling Xiao relied on Ling Jingshu wholeheartedly. On the contrary, he was not close to Ling Wuye, his father.

Someone with sharp eyes shouted: "It's coming, it's coming!"

Everyone suddenly became excited.

...

Several carriages stopped at the door of Ling Mansion.

The first people to come down were Uncle Ling and his family.

Forty-five-year-old Uncle Ling has a square face, dignified appearance, a few strands of beard, and a civil official air.

The forty-year-old woman beside him, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with exquisite makeup and outstanding temperament, is his eldest aunt Sun. In addition, there is the eldest son Ling Ji with his wife and children. The bright and charming girl standing behind Mrs. Sun is the eldest daughter-in-law, Ling Jingyan.

"My son is unfilial and has not come back to visit his mother for several years." Uncle Ling strode up to Mrs. Ling and bowed before her.

Mrs. Ling's eyes immediately turned red, and she stretched out her hand tremblingly to support Uncle Ling: "You are an official in the capital, and you are busy with official duties all day long. It is inconvenient to come back. How can I blame you..."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Ling was already crying bitterly.

Even though he is very old, he still cries like a child in front of his old mother. Old Mrs. Ling was happy and sad at the same time, hugging her eldest son and crying.

Crying is contagious. Fourth Master Ling and Fifth Master Ling also had red eyes, and soon everyone wiped their tears.

Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao fell behind the crowd, lowering their heads and casually covering their faces with their sleeves, just pretending.

After the excitement of Mrs. Ling and Uncle Ling subsided, another man's voice rang out: "Mother-in-law and uncle have been separated for several years, and they must be very happy to meet again. Why don't we go to the house first and talk slowly? Don't be sorry."

This voice, with the rich and deep sound unique to a middle-aged man, penetrated into Ling Jingshu's ears.

Even though Ling Jingshu was mentally prepared, when she heard this voice, she still couldn't help but tremble all over her body.

She looked up.

A familiar face came into view.

The thirty-two-year-old man has sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, and a short beard. He is handsome, elegant, and has an extraordinary bearing. What a handsome man. Most of Lu Hong's good looks came from him.

This man was the head of the Lu family, Ling's husband, and her father-in-law in her previous life.

Luann!

...

She and Lu Hong had the same affection back then, and they were very affectionate after they got married. Less than a year after their marriage, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Lu Hong won the first prize in the provincial examination again, and then went to Beijing to take part in the joint examination, and won the first prize in one fell swoop.

At that time, she felt that her life was happy and smooth, and she had no regrets.

Unexpectedly, the nightmare of life really begins from this moment.

Lu Qian's strange feelings for her troubled her. The bad news that Lu Hong was pregnant made her even more shocked and sad. Because of Lu Qian, Ling, who was originally kind, looked at her with increasingly gloomy eyes and made things difficult for her at every turn. The servants in the mansion were talking a lot, and the eyes looking at her were gradually filled with disdain. There were private rumors that she was unruly and seducing her uncle.

This basin of dirty water was poured all over her body, leaving her speechless and crying countless times in secret.

She knew in her heart that these were all things Ling was doing secretly. It was obvious that Lu Qian was obsessed with her, but Ling was afraid that these words would be spread out and damage Lu Qian's reputation, so he deliberately distorted the facts. The Ling family has been in charge of the Lu family for many years and has many confidants in the family. It's easy to manipulate rumors.

She was struggling in the house, and her life became increasingly difficult.

The Ling family arranged a good marriage for Lu Qian. When Lu Qian found out, he made a big fuss. In front of everyone, he made a fuss about breaking off the engagement and kept saying that he wanted to marry her.

Ling's face was completely lost, and the facts she had worked so hard to hide were completely exposed. In anger, he ordered her to be locked up. He also drugged the food that was delivered to him.

When she woke up from her coma, she was horrified to find that she was naked and embarrassed, and the man lying next to her was actually her father-in-law Lu An.

Lu An was usually lustful and had more than a dozen beautiful concubines in his house. There were also many enchanting singers and dancers in his house. However, he still maintained his dignity as a father-in-law in front of her, looking sanctimonious. But who would have thought that he would rape her while she was under the influence of aphrodisiac...

She has no face to live and wants to die.

Mrs. Ling appeared in front of her with a hideous smile and hugged the child: "Ling Jingshu, if you stay on your own terms, the child will live with you. If you commit suicide and die, I will let your son accompany you to the underworld."

Looking at her son's young and tender face, she burst into tears and suppressed her thoughts of death in humiliation.

Mrs. Ling looked at her with eyes full of sorrow, resentment and hatred, and smiled coldly: "Ling Jingshu, I didn't want to do this to you. After all, you are my biological niece. I want you to marry into the Lu family and be my daughter-in-law. I was expecting you to be my helper. It's a pity that you didn't restrain Lu Hong's heart. He won the first prize and won the favor of the princess, so he has a better future. "

"Lu Hong refuses to have you, and it is inevitable that you will feel sad. But you should never come to seduce my Ah Qian. His reputation and future cannot be ruined in your hands."

This confusing statement is really ridiculous.

She subconsciously defended: "I didn't seduce Ah Qian. I never had any other thoughts about him from the beginning to the end. He was the one who kept pestering me..."

"Shut up!"

Ling scolded angrily, her face distorted by anger: "He is still a puzzled child who knows what envy is. If you hadn't deliberately seduced him, he would never have gone astray. Nor would he have made a fuss about retreating. Honey, if this scandal spreads, how will he continue to talk about marriage and behave in an upright manner in the future?"

"Now that you are having an affair with your father-in-law, no matter how unwilling A Qian is, he will not dare to compete with his father for a woman. When he gets over it, I will arrange a marriage for him."

After saying that, Mrs. Ling smiled proudly. There was an almost crazy joy in that laughter.

Listening to such words, she felt chills all over her body and murmured to herself in disbelief: "Just for this, you let people drug me and my father-in-law? You are really crazy!"

Ling's laughter became more and more crazy and hysterical: "Do you think this was just my idea? Do you think I drugged Lu An? Haha... You are so naive and ridiculous."

"You don't know that since you married into the Lu family, Lu An has been keeping an eye on you with evil intentions. If it wasn't for Lu Hong, he would have attacked you long ago. The idea this time was my suggestion. , I also asked someone to drug you. As for him, it’s too late to get excited, so there is no need to drug him..."

At that moment, the world was spinning and her world collapsed in an instant.

Her expression was numb and her whole body was cold.

"You will stay in this courtyard from now on. As long as you are calm and obedient, the child will be safe and sound. If you dare to make any move, I will let the child accompany you to hell!"

After Mrs. Ling finished speaking, she sneered and walked away.

The following days were nothing short of hell on earth for her.

Lu An originally felt guilty for a moment or two, but he was fascinated by her beauty. Coupled with the fresh and unethical excitement, he became extremely obsessed with her. Soon, all the beautiful and enchanting concubines were left out in the cold. Facing Ling, he became more tolerant.

In the inner house, no one is Ling's opponent.

She cried all day long and thought of death countless times. But when he thought of his young son, his thoughts of committing suicide were cut off. He gritted his teeth and endured it.

There is no airtight wall in the world. The news that Lu An had taken his daughter-in-law by force first spread slowly inside the house, and then gradually spread outside the house. However, in the eyes of everyone, this matter is not due to Lu An's romantic nature, but more importantly because Lu Hong abandoned his wife and son. She stayed alone in the empty boudoir and secretly seduced her father-in-law...

Mrs. Ling hated her to the core, not only had she ruined her chastity, but also her reputation.

However, she had no way to seek help, and there was no news from Lu Hongyao. Her parents were indifferent to her plight and ignored her. The maids around him were all bribed by the Ling family, and it was impossible to send a message out.

She endured the humiliation and survived in this world, and it wasn't until the moment of her death that she finally woke up and regretted her mistake.

God took pity on her and granted her rebirth. In this life, she wants to avenge herself in her previous life and seek justice.
