The seventeenth year of Jianing, the winter solstice.
The white banners of Zhenbeihou Mansion have been hung for three days, and the snow has accumulated in front of the mansion for three days.
Shen Lingyi knelt in front of the spirit, his fingertips turned blue from the cold, but his back was straight. People came to express their condolences one after another, and the cries spread from the front hall to the backyard, like a layer of wet and cold fog, making people breathless.
Only she knew that the person who really needed to cry in this house couldn't cry as early as last night.
The military report that my father died in battle was false.
The brother's confession of being a collaborator is false.
Even the marriage decree sent from the palace today is not a grace, but a reminder.
"Girl, the old lady invites you to come over."
The maid Qingzhi knelt outside the curtain and said in a very low voice: "Someone is coming from the Duke of Qin's mansion."
Shen Lingyi slowly raised his eyes.
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Qin.
On this day in the previous life, the Duke of Qin's wife came to her door with a letter of annulment, saying that the Shen family's father and brother were guilty, Shen Lingyi's reputation was in jeopardy, and she was no longer worthy of being the wife of the Crown Prince's son.
She had just lost her father and brother at that time, her mother was ill, her grandmother forced her to endure it, her aunt advised her to quit, and her concubine cried and said that the whole family could no longer be implicated by her.
So she knelt in the hall and accepted the divorce letter.
She thought that by being patient for a while, she could save her mother and the Hou Mansion.
What happened next?
The Duke of Qin devoured the dowry her mother had prepared for her, took away the 10,000 shi of military rations left by Shen Jiajun, and married her concubine Shen Ruotang.
My mother had no cure and died on a rainy night.
The Shen family was convicted of collaborating with the enemy.
She was sent to the palace to be a chess piece, and died on a shabby table in the cold palace after drinking the last glass of poisoned wine.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back to today.
Reader comments
So pretty! It's been a long time since I've seen such a well-connected book! Highly recommended for sisters who love to watch Machiavellian plots! ! I was a little put off by the title of the book, it has nothing to do with the previous romance novels that were cloaked in Machiavellian veneer! Woohoo, it seems like it was 2 years ago when I last read such a gripping strategy book. I loved it so much that I almost cried. I am a person who likes to guess the villain. So far in this book, I have guessed that neither of the two people are the big bosses behind the scenes. The problem is that it is already very similar to the ending of other similar books, but it only moves the case forward a little🤏. I read all the updates in one afternoon. I really want to know the follow-up. Most of the content is written in less than 100 chapters. It can be said to be short and concise. Please write it quickly!
This book slowly turns from the entrance of the house fight of "breaking off an engagement to collect debts" to an old court case that spanned ten years. The grain seizure case in the northern border during the seven years of Jianing, the unjust case of Prince Jing, and the disappearance of Shen's father and brother are the true roots of the book. The heroine fights back all the way, and behind every fight there are old accounts, evidence, and the voices of dead people. Dowry albums, incense recipes, old seals, residual paintings, military newspapers, copper folders, each seemingly scattered thing, finally drags the suppressed truth back to the light... Who is the person behind which? !
It's so good-looking, so good-looking👍It doesn't procrastinate and doesn't stay up all night. The rhythm, method, and IQ are really so good! The author, please promise me to write more. Looking forward to getting more and more exciting in the future hahaha😆
A typical cool novel, with a tight opening conflict and a slap-in-the-face plot that is enjoyable to watch. Although the plot weakens the realistic logic for the sake of excitement, the independent and sober character of the heroine is very lovable, and it is perfect for reading and relaxing during leisure time.
This is my first time listening to Gong Du. This book is a good read. It doesn't burn my brain and whet my appetite. The more I read, the more I can't stop reading.
It's so beautiful, the author is awesome
The plot is gripping and the writing is contagious. When I watched it, I was really nervous as the plot progressed.
Looks great, thank you very much
Good looking. I like the Machiavellian writing [laughing]
Looking at the writing that makes me feel happy
When will it be finished? It's pretty good, but it doesn't have an ending.
It looks good, I hope it looks better.
It's so beautiful. It's such a good work that was delayed by the name!
Very attractive. Looking forward to the update [crying][crying][crying][crying] It's been a long time since I've read something so attractive to me. I've basically read all the other articles and the routines are basically the same.
I just started watching it, and it was pretty good. The writing is delicate, the plot is compact, and it's quite attractive.
It's really pretty.
Not bad, good looking, update soon
The rhythm is great, the words are dense, there is no nonsense, and it is beautiful.
