[Rebirth + Face-Slapping Her Ex-Husband and His Whole Family]
Zhu Qing was reborn.
She was reborn just after the seventh day following her death.
She returned to the day Song Yanning brought his mistress, Bai Shengsheng, and their precious son, Song Bao'er, back to the marquis's residence.
“Qingqing, Sheng'er saved my life. Without her, I wouldn't have made it this far. Now she's even given our household its eldest legitimate son. I hope you'll treat her well.”
Those words stripped Zhu Qing of all dignity as the lady of the house, turning her into a laughingstock across the capital.
Everything that should have belonged to Zhu Qing...
Her role as the principal wife: Bai Shengsheng overstepped.
Her status as the legitimate wife: Bai Shengsheng took over.
Her social circle: Bai Shengsheng infiltrated it.
In the end, Zhu Qing died bleeding from every orifice after eating one of Song Bao'er's poisonous pastries.
So, on the first day after being reborn,
Zhu Qing neither cried nor made a fuss.
Song Yanning truly loved Bai Shengsheng?
Zhu Qing: A man's promises are worthless. He loves you today and someone else tomorrow. This lifetime, stay away from me!
The old madam was pressuring Zhu Qing to have a child?
Zhu Qing: I'll send Song Yanning his cousin, Miss Chu, as a package deal. He can have a child and inherit the marquis's estate without me having to give birth. I'll be a mother without the pain.
Song Yancheng and Song Huanhuan were stirring up trouble?
Zhu Qing: Making trouble, are you? With a flick of her wrist, she got them into trouble right in front of the emperor, and their whole family was promptly exiled to Ningguta.
With her bargain-bin eldest son in one arm and an abacus in the other, Zhu Qing became the sole mistress of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's household.
Money, free time, and status!
The envy of every woman in the capital.
[A good life isn't something you're born with. You need brains to get one.]
