The biggest mistake Qi Zhaoyue ever made was marrying Chu Yin.
Reborn, before Qi Zhaoyue even had the chance to divorce Chu Yin, she turned around and saw Fang Tingyun standing before the bed curtains.
She was stunned. Wait, did being reborn change her husband too?
Beneath the red wedding curtains, Qi Zhaoyue and Fang Tingyun could only stare at each other in silence.
After a long while, she finally heard a teasing voice.
Fang Tingyun’s eyes were deep. He lifted Qi Zhaoyue’s chin with the wedding scale, his voice cool as he asked, “What, is being my wife so beneath you?”
Looking at that devastatingly handsome face, Qi Zhaoyue swallowed despite herself. Beneath her dignity? N-no, of course not.
The next day, after the servants tidied up the clean wedding handkerchief, rumors spread everywhere.
“That Miss Qi must not be favored by the marquis...”
“I heard she only managed to enter the household by using tricks...”
“She must be a seductress. No wonder Young Master Chu didn’t want her...”
A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth. Even Chu Yin heard the rumors and made a point of stopping her at the spring banquet.
With a sanctimonious air, he said, “I heard your cousin doesn’t care for you. If you’re willing to humble yourself, I can speak to him...”
Qi Zhaoyue’s heart clenched. She instinctively took half a step back and forced herself to say, “My husband and I are deeply in love. There’s no need for Young Master Chu to worry.”
With rumors flying everywhere, Qi Zhaoyue felt increasingly uneasy.
When her close friend asked her about it, Qi Zhaoyue gritted her teeth and whispered, “The wedding handkerchief was clean because our marquis just can’t...”
As soon as she said it, her friend’s expression changed. Qi Zhaoyue stiffly turned her head and abruptly met Fang Tingyun’s face, black as ink.
His features were deep-set. Through gritted teeth, he asked, “Who did you say can’t...?”
I’m done for.
