Cheng Shuiyao was woken up by a quarrel.

"Sister-in-law, I gave you this cake, what will Shuiyao eat? Look at how sick she is..."

A sharp voice interrupted her: "What does that have to do with me! She is almost dead, why waste this cake on her! Bring it over -"

"No!" The gentle voice before was a bit tougher, "One for each! This belongs to Shuiyao! Sister-in-law, don't go too far!"

Cheng Shuiyao raised her eyelids with great effort, and the blurriness receded. The first thing she saw was a thin and straight back, and a slovenly woman standing directly in front of her.

The two were arguing over a piece of cake.

She turned around and saw that she was in a cave. There were dozens of people gathered in the cave, all of them shackled and with dejected faces. Around the fire rising in the cave, there were more than a dozen soldiers with swords surrounding them.

.

what's the situation?

A memory suddenly rushed into her mind, and Cheng Shuiyao realized belatedly that she might have gone through the book.

It was in the book "I Was a Villain in Ancient Times" that she just read!

She was so immortal that she even dressed up as the cannon fodder of Xiao Ji, the main villain in the book!

This cannon fodder has the same name as her, and she is the concubine of Cheng Yutang, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Logically speaking, as a concubine, she was not worthy of the villain Xiao Ji, but who made the Xiao family "treason and treason"? The whole family was exiled for three thousand miles, and the legitimate son of the prince also became a guilty person.

Naturally, the sister-in-law of the original owner, who was originally engaged to Xiao Ji, refused to marry her. However, Cheng Yutang wanted to save face and was afraid of being scolded and adding insult to injury, so on the day when the Duke's Mansion was raided, a small sedan was used to kill the original owner.

The favored concubine carried it over.

Speaking of which, the original owner was not a concubine.

Cheng Yutang was the son of a prostitute. Because of his good looks and talent, Jiang Yanyan, the daughter of the capital of Jiangnan, fell in love with him and made him his son-in-law. The two lived in love for several years and gave birth to the original owner.

.

Later, Cheng Yutang was the number one scholar in high school and was taboo about getting married. Because he climbed into the high branches of the Anping Marquis Mansion, he poisoned Jiang Yanyan to death, pocketed the Jiang family's wealth, and went to the Marquis Mansion to become a legitimate daughter.

, she became a concubine all her life.

But now, Cheng Shuiyao will replace her and be exiled with others.

Want to vomit blood.

She is a small food anchor in modern times. When she was playing in the park, she saw a child falling into the water. She jumped to save the child, but ended up drowning herself.

Just die, it won't happen to such an unlucky person!

What's the use of wearing a short-lived original?

Want to experience the feeling of death again?

In the end, it was the sound of arguments that pulled her out of her despair.

Cheng Shuiyao forced herself to sit up and coughed weakly. The woman in front of her immediately turned around and squatted in front of her with concern: "Shui Yao, are you awake? How do you feel now?"

The woman's name is Xie Yin, and she is Xiao Ji's mother. She was originally the Duke's wife who was loved and cherished by her husband and respected by her children. After being exiled all the way, she is no longer as glorious as she used to be.

Xie Yin burst into tears and choked back: "It was our Xiao family who harmed you. If not for... you wouldn't have suffered like this."

Cheng Shuiyao smiled bitterly in her heart.

What does this have to do with the Xiao family?

Not to mention that what happened to the Xiao family was an innocent disaster. If we really wanted to blame it, we could only blame the original owner and his father for pretending to be noble and hypocritical for pushing his daughter to death!

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her throat was so dry that she couldn't spit out a single word.

When Xie Yin saw her, he quickly fed her a sip of warm water and handed her the pancake in his hand: "Are you hungry? Come on, fill your stomach first."

Cheng Shuiyao felt weak all over. She grabbed the pancake and started to eat it. She was so anxious that she almost choked her throat. Xie Yin hurriedly said: "Slow down."

The woman who had been arguing with Xie Yin suddenly became unhappy and cursed: "You little bitch has a long life!"

Xie Yin's expression suddenly changed, "Sister-in-law, be careful what you say! You are an elder, how can you be so vulgar?"

"Vulgar?" The woman, Mrs. Cheng, sneered and said in a strange way, "I can't compare with your literary talents and your wealth and wealth! Bah - how long has it been? Why are you pretending to be a Duke's wife with me?"

"Do you think this is still the case in the Duke's Mansion, and everyone has to give in to you!"

Xie Yin's face turned pale with anger: "You!"

"What am I!" Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly, "If you think my words are unpleasant, just plug your ears! If it weren't for Xiao Zhenheng, how could we have ended up in this situation? Huh! He was just afraid of running for his life outside in a hurry at the moment.

Even if your life is gone, why are you so arrogant..."

A figure suddenly ran over, and his sharp gaze struck Cheng's face like a knife: "Auntie, be careful what you say!"

Cheng stepped back suddenly.

The person who came was tall and tall, with a handsome face. His slovenliness could not hide his noble aura. His long, almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed, his thin lips were pursed under the high bridge of his nose, and his voice was low and deep.

"I put my words here, and I ask my eldest aunt to listen carefully." Xiao Ji said, "My father is not here, and I, Xiao Ji, am here. If anyone dares to bully my family again, even if he says an unpleasant word, I will

It will make their lives worse than death!"

"I do what I say."

His heavy eyes were downcast, and Cheng was covered in cold sweat. Unable to utter a single word of condemnation, he hid in a corner of the cave in a hurry.

Xiao Ji closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, the cold light in his eyes disappeared.

He turned around: "Mother."

Xie Yin looked sad, but forced a smile. Seven-year-old twins Xiao Zijie and Xiao Ruxue came around and looked up at her.

Cheng Shuiyao finally stuffed the cake into her stomach and drank another pot of water, finally feeling a little full.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Ji. In the past, he was a glorious prince and a high-spirited young general on the battlefield. He was also a tyrant who would be feared by the whole world in the future.

Once overthrown, the whole clan was exiled, and all relatives died. He was the only one who survived and was found by the Xiao family's secret guards. He kept his name anonymously, endured the humiliation and secretly developed his power. Five years later, taking advantage of the chaos in the world, he fought his way into the imperial capital and massacred everyone.

All the royal family.

After he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, everyone in the world looked forward to a peaceful and prosperous age, but they didn't want to send away the absurd and fatuous dog emperor, but instead welcomed a tyrannical emperor.

He was rough and arrogant, imposed excessive taxes, and built large-scale construction projects before the war was over. He imposed labor levies and did not listen to advice. He also liked to kill people for fun. The people were miserable. Within three years, all parts of the country rose up to resist the tyranny.

He still doesn't know how to restrain himself.

Subconsciously, he still felt that the world had failed the Xiao family, and he wanted everyone in the world to be buried with the Xiao family.

Finally, the angry people forced him to the newly built platform and burned him to death. Unwilling to do so, they chopped his blackened bones into pieces.

Cheng Shuiyao felt sad.

Fortunately, Xiao Ji has not turned black yet, and no matter how difficult the exile is, he has not left her as a cheap wife behind.

Even if she was seriously ill along the way.

She secretly raised her eyes to look at Xiao Ji, but met a pair of condensed eyes.

Xiao Ji walked over slowly.

The road was difficult and the ground was freezing. Even Xiao Ji's iron-clad body was a little unbearable. His originally strong body became much thinner, and his face became a little sickly pale.

But those eyes were filled with sharp light.

Cheng Shuiyao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, pinching the corner of her clothes with her slender fingers: "What...what's wrong?"
