Among the many powerful families in Da Sui, the Li family of Jinling ranks first. Their family tradition is flawless and their reputation has been handed down from generation to generation. They have produced prime ministers, generals, emperors, and emperors. They are truly a well-connected family and a famous family.
Li Lingyi was born in the Li family. She was taught by the family since childhood. Her words, deeds, talents and skills were all passed down to the Li family tradition. She was gentle, gentle and open-minded.
But this demeanor also caused her to suffer a lot.
What people teach and what people do are always completely different.
Li Lingyi cherished her family, so she worked hard to learn and was admitted to the court; she respected her parents, so her parents ordered a matchmaker to marry a virtuous husband; she read the books of sages deeply and devoted herself to becoming a saint and a subject.
But her tribe blamed her for being stubborn and unwilling to adapt; her parents thought she was ruthless and unreasonable, and she didn't know how to favor her younger sister; the virtuous husband was disgusted with her for several years, she was impersonal and unloving; as for the saints and the common people, the courtiers criticized her, but no one knew her true nature.
When Li Lingyi predicted all this from her dream, she was at a loss for a long time, not knowing what to do.
Just as she was going out for a banquet, someone plotted against her, and Li Lingyi was poisoned. She could have avoided it, but she still let the son of a low-ranking official get his way.
She listened to the young man talking behind the rockery, how to curse those who were at odds with her, how to imagine that people would be shocked if she successfully married into a wealthy family, how to take revenge on her eccentric parents and unfaithful ex-fiancée, how to give birth to an heir and manipulate his wife...
In the past, Li Lingyi would have disagreed with this, but now she thought absurdly, let's just go with his wishes and marry him.
At that time, criticism will gradually arise in the clan, the mother and father will become furious, and the future husband's family will avoid him.
But she only felt relaxed.

After getting married, Li Lingyi always felt ashamed of the young husband she married because he had involved innocent people for his own selfish purposes.
In addition, due to the huge disparity in status, I could only give him the position of servant, so I loved and indulged him even more in my heart. I also thought about the many times that my parents had been in trouble, and the bottom line was lowered again and again for him. I also thought about the fact that he was alone in this huge Li Mansion, no matter how much he went against his nature, I still had to support him and protect him.
As a result, her relatives felt that she had changed, that she did not distinguish between right and wrong, and that she was helping others to do harm; her mother and father felt that she had changed, and that she had become disloyal and unfilial;
But Li Lingyi lived a better life.
Clan relatives dare not act recklessly, parents cannot point fingers, saints favor them, and courtiers bow their heads.
Li Lingyi's preference became more and more intense. When he just gave birth to Lin'er, he made him his official husband, asked for a royal title for him in front of the saint, and was extremely pampered towards his son.

Jin Xiusheng was born in a small official's family. His mother had several wives and concubines and many children, so she didn't care about him. His father cared more about his sister.
Therefore, he has known fighting since he was a child. Whatever he wants, he must have it. If others are not willing to give it, he will take it. He will retaliate ten times when others scold him. Anyone who blocks his way should die. No matter what method it is, as long as it works, he dares to use it. Even if he was whipped with a cane at home, he almost drowned because he offended others, and his mean and greedy temper did not change at all.
He calculated and used endless tricks, and finally married into a high family.
Before getting married, he knew that his wife was a very good person and that there were countless nobles in the capital who wanted to marry her.
He was sure that such a good person would never bully him, and this was indeed the case after marriage.
Although she disagreed with him when he said things to the east, she would never say things to the west. Her parents made things difficult for him, so he faked crying a few times and let the man go to the main hall. He wanted to have a child, and he didn't want her to accept anyone else, so there would be no one else.
Of course, anyone who bullies Li Lingyi must get through him first.
