[Old sayings about house fighting + taboos between uncles and sisters-in-law + the mistress of the Hou Mansion + Shuang Jie]
[The full text is not long, and the plot advances quickly without procrastination]
Introduction:
The whole capital was waiting to see Xie Yunning's joke.
Pei Yu, the prince of Yong'an Hou, had a savior. Everyone said that he had someone else in mind.
But Xie Yunning still sat on the sedan chair and became the wife of the prince of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
She never married into the Marquis Mansion for love.
What she wants is the position of mistress, the real power in the Hou Mansion, and the opportunity to rescue her mother from the prison of the Xie family.
Until Pei Yan, the second son of Pei, stopped her.
It was the first time they met, but he looked at her as if they were reunited after a long absence.
He called her "sister-in-law" in an ambiguous and unrestrained tone.
Xie Yunning discovered that this seemingly absurd second son of the Hou family had long been eyeing his brother's position as heir apparent.
Pei Yan asked her: "Sister-in-law, why don't we join forces."
Xie Yunning looked up at him: "What can you give me?"
Pei Yan smiled: "If I become the heir, I will set you and your mother free."
One wants power, the other wants freedom.
The two had their own agendas and secretly joined forces.
As the chess game progressed deeper and deeper, Xie Yunning realized belatedly that Pei Yan had never been pestering her just for the power of the Hou Mansion.
The past incident that was buried ten years ago has already tightly tied the fate of the two of them together.
