After Being Reborn, the Marquess's Wife Was Done with It

Reborn + Love After Marriage

On the day she was supposed to become engaged to the Xie family, she was about to find an excuse to turn down the match. But she arrived at her dressing room a little late and overheard her stepmother and younger sister had already decided to marry her off to the Yuan family.

In her previous life, it was Xiao Jinxiu who married into the Yuan family. Her dear younger sister had stabbed her to death, and now that she was reborn, she still planned to snatch this “fine” marriage for herself.

But the Xie family was hardly a blessed paradise. It was only thanks to her hard work building connections and managing the family’s affairs that they seemed so prosperous. In reality, the Xies had neither money nor connections, and the legitimate son of the family kept failing the imperial exams. She had finally bought him an official post, only to be murdered by Xiao Jinxiu at the celebratory banquet.

The Yuan family might be a ducal household, but they had only one son. A small family was a good thing, but the young master of the Yuan family was in poor health. In her previous life, Xiao Jinxiu had been married to him for less than half a year before he died, leaving her a widow for three years.

Compared with managing the endless household chores of the Xie family, Xiao Jin would rather marry into the Yuan family and live as a carefree widow. If she married into another powerful family, this mother and daughter certainly wouldn’t let her have her way. And the affairs of other great households were probably just as exhausting. She no longer had the energy she once did to deal with all that.

But for now, she couldn’t let the mother and daughter get too pleased with themselves...
