Jiang Mingzhu feels sorry for someone——
The son of the Minister of Punishment, that young man as clean as a mountain stream, Ling Suijin.
Jiang Mingzhu's father is the magistrate of Songqing County, and his family of four lives a simple but warm life.
Five years ago, there were great changes in the DPRK, and a major case involved many people. My father was unjustly and wrongly killed. Overnight, his father died, his younger brother was exiled to Lingzhou, and his mother could not bear the blow and died of illness.
Before she died, her mother held her hand and cried: "My son, mother can't see you grow up and get married. I'm sorry for you. You must live well and take your brother home in the future."
Mingzhu went to the capital.
She thought that if she wanted to take her brother home, she could only reverse the case for her father, but no one would care about the innocence of a seventh-grade official, nor would they be willing to risk it and reopen the old case.
Only the newly appointed Minister of Justice has this power, if he wishes.
Mingzhu entered Nanxun Pavilion and quickly became famous due to his talent and appearance, and successfully met the Minister of Punishment.
When the time comes, she has been planning for a long time and wants to sacrifice herself to get closer.
But the plan failed... Or something unexpected happened.
The person who drank the cup of medicinal wine was Ling Suijin, the son of the minister who came to persuade his father to go home. This year, he was appointed by the emperor as the concubine.
At this young age, she is as beautiful as a woman and a gentleman, so she has no doubts about her methods. She just thinks that she is unintentionally drunk and takes everything on her own, and the matchmaker is marrying her to let her in.
Her goal was achieved, even though everyone in the Ling family hated her.
After her father was rehabilitated, she packed her luggage and prepared to leave Beijing, and met Ling Suijin at the farewell pavilion.
The young man broke a willow tree and gave it to her, and asked her if she had enough money, if she wanted to be escorted, if she had any acquaintances in Lingzhou, and that she should pay special attention to her accommodation along the way, etc.
Mingzhu said: "I lied to you."
Ling Suijin smiled: "I knew it a long time ago, but I don't blame you. I like you very much. I know you don't like me, so I let you go."
Mingzhu thought that her fate with Ling Suijin was over.
But three years later, Ling Shangshu suddenly fell due to corruption, and his whole family was confiscated. Ling Suijin was exempted from exile while still serving as an official, and he was dismissed from the capital after being sentenced.
She saw him again.
He was in pain all over his body and his eyes were blind. He was no longer as bright as the moon and high-spirited.
She took him home and took good care of him.
After waking up, the cheerful and lively boy back then became taciturn, had low self-esteem and was depressed, always wanting to leave.
Mingzhu found him again by the river.
She held the broken Ling Suijin tightly in her arms and said to her younger brother who came over:
"This is your brother-in-law. You must respect him for the rest of your life."
