Chapter 1

Su Mei's eyes were pitch black, and under her nose was the fishy smell of soil and the decaying leaves in autumn, which made her almost unable to breathe, but she didn't dare to move.

If she hadn't prepared such a small pit that was enough for her to curl up in her face early, and Zi Kui helped her cover her with fallen leaves and shrubs, she would have been discovered.

Outside the pit, footsteps were walking back and forth around her. Whenever a rapid pace sounded, there would be a question accompanied by: "Have you found the young lady?"

"not see."

“Not here either.”

The sound of answering came from all directions, and Su Mei's heart beat violently with these sounds. She was even afraid that she would be heard because her heartbeat was too loud and she would find her hiding place.

Time seemed to pass very slowly, the air in the pit was thin, and it was getting more and more difficult for her to breathe, and the sound of footsteps coming and going around her were still coming and going.

Suddenly, the voices paused for a moment, followed by more chaotic steps. Su Mei heard them pay their respects to others: "See the deceased grandson."

It’s Lin Hengli who is here!

Su Mei's breathing stagnated. Cold sweat slid down her forehead, flowing through her eyebrows, and finally sank into her eyes, making her eyes sour and astringent. Even so, she was tense all over and didn't even dare to blink.

"The young lady is not coming in this direction? Why didn't anyone be found?"

Lin Hengli's faint voice came into her ears.

Someone said ashamedly: "I clearly saw the young lady and her maid coming here, but when we chased her, we disappeared."

"The gate of the courtyard here is still locked, so they must not go out from here and look for other places. The young lady is in poor health, and she is heavy in the middle of the night. After staying outside for a long time, she will have to feel uncomfortable for a few more days..."

Lin Hengli ordered and sighed slowly, his words filled with deep affection and worry.

Su Mei heard it and felt goosebumps all over the back of her hands, hating and fearing.

If it weren't for him, how could she suddenly get seriously ill?!

"——It's gone! Nian Chuntang is gone!"

"I discovered the young lady!"

A noise came from a distance, and Su Mei's heart was beating into her throat, but the footsteps that were spinning around her were gone at this time.

She knew that this was the signal Zi Kui sent to herself, and her last chance.

When she could not hear the footsteps at all, she did not hesitate for a moment, and she stretched out her hand and pushed the bush and trees blocking the hole in a panic, quickly climbed out of the pit and headed towards the locked courtyard gate not far away.

There is an alley outside the courtyard gate here, which is the only way she can leave the Duke of Wei’s Mansion.

A few days ago, his body was breathing after walking a few steps, and at the end of his search for vitality, Su Mei ran to the gate of the yard and took out the keys prepared in advance.

With a local yell, the copper lock fell to the ground and the lock opened smoothly...

She reached out to open the door, and a voice sounded quietly behind her.

"Three sisters, it turns out that you are here to make it easy to find your husband."

The sound was like a ghost that could not be shaken off, and it blew into her ears with the night wind, making her feel creepy.

She turned around slowly, and Lin Hengli had already turned back at some point, standing only ten steps away from her.

There was no one around him, and he stood so leisurely, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

I don't know if that smile represents victory or mockery of her overestimating her ability to escape.

"Sister Three, I can indulge you in everything, but I can't leave." Lin Hengli raised his hand at her, "Sister Three, go back with me. No one will pursue the matter tonight. You are my wife, and I always stand on your side..."

The despair came like a sea of ​​despair, which made her unable to stand even. In this desperate situation, she had no way out.

The Duke of Wei was ambitious, and her marriage with Lin Hengli was their plan. Now she knew what they were plotting against, so how could it be good? It is just to save her life to restrain her father and brother.

Since that's the case, why should she stay in her breath and let them mercy!

Su Mei looked at the door post, and the hasty fear slowly faded away in her eyes. She took a deep breath and attached all the power to her legs.

Just as she was about to use all her strength to die, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and an arm was poked in, pulling her over in an instant.

Her body was thrown up and she was thrown up. Before she could scream, she fell into a hug again.

There was a powerful heartbeat in my ears, and the sound of the wheels of the carriage rolling over the ground, and the night wind whistled through my ears.

"Miss Three, I'm rude. I can protect you from peace, don't be afraid."

Don't be afraid... This sentence and this familiar voice were like a reassurance. Su Mei looked up and saw the man's thin chin. Going up, there were gentle and handsome eyebrows.

In a trance, she had already recognized him, "Uncle Lin San..."

**

"Girl, wake up...you're a nightmare again."

An anxious voice broke into the illusion, Su Mei suddenly opened her eyes, and the flashing candlelight in the house pierced into her eyes, and she escaped from the past that was always entangled.

A handkerchief was pressed on her forehead. She moved and realized that she was sweating all over and even her inner clothes were stuck to her body.

When Zi Kui saw that she woke up, she let out a long sigh and helped her wipe the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "Why have girls always been nightmares recently? I'll look for a day to go and worship the Bodhisattva for the girl in the temple."

Su Mei sat up slowly on the couch with her hands, shook her head and said, "Let the doctor prescribe a prescription for calming the spirit, just take two magic medicines."

She was used to having this dream from time to time, but she didn't expect that she would never forget this thrilling past when she was reborn and returned to her before she got married.

Yes, she lived again, back to the spring of the year just now, and was just about to get engaged to Lin Hengli.

As in a dream, she married Lin Hengli two years after being engaged in her previous life.

In the eyes of outsiders, her father is the Marquis of Zhongyi and the Lin family is the Duke of Wei. This marriage is a match made by nature, but who knew that she broke up with him on the day of her wedding.

The reason is as ridiculous as the stories compiled in the storybook.

On the day of her marriage, she saw her future husband and step-sister hug with her, and heard her step-sister say they were always behind her back.

The guests were full of people, and she became a joke.

But because the war was tight at that time, my father and brother rushed to the battlefield and even she could not come back from marriage. She had no choice but to be depressed by Lin Hengli, and used a maid with a similar figure to her to serve as a church, and sent it to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to deceive the world.

She woke up and slapped him and broke with him, but she was still worried.

She could not distract her father and brother from the battlefield because of these personal affairs, so she endured it first. This forbearance was entangled with Lin Hengli for several years and almost lost her life. Although she was later rescued by Uncle Lin and taken care of her carefully, she was injured in the end and ended in hatred when she failed to see her father again.

Uncle Lin San is actually a member of the Lin family of Duke Wei’s Mansion and is Lin Hengli’s uncle.

When she married, Uncle Lin San was injured in both legs and was unable to move. She accidentally learned that even the servants of the Lin family treated him harshly, and often detained him monthly. When she learned that the Lin family had treated him harshly, she secretly helped her.

Two years after she married into the Lin family, Uncle Lin moved out of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, but in the end she received his life-saving grace.

So God still treated her kindly, and asked her to get help from her benefactor first, and then be reborn and returned to her marriage. Everything could still be saved.

"Miss, why are you distracted again?"

Su Mei was trapped in the past and was gently pushed by someone. Only then did she calm down her thoughts and waited for her to take a shower, change clothes, and fall asleep again.

She has to be mentally fostered tonight and has some important things to do tomorrow.

Perhaps God could really hear her wish, Su Mei had no nightmares in the middle of the night, and she slept sweetly until the morning.

When it was lightly dawn, the servants in Su Mei's yard were already busy.

When she got up and dressed up, the woman reported back and forth that the carriage used to leave the mansion was ready, and that the gifts prepared for the elders of the Duke of Wei's Mansion were packed and loaded.

Su Mei gently tapped the rouge on her fingertips on her lips, pursed her, and said she knew, and ordered: "Please go to the eldest girl again to ask if there is anything she needs to help with. If everything is fine, she should set off as agreed yesterday."

The woman smiled and said, lifted up the bead curtain and left to run errands.

Zi Kui took out a Butterfly Love Flower Golden Hairpin from the makeup box, gestured on the edge of her hair bun, and muttered unhappily: "Miss, you are too soft-hearted. As soon as the lady said, I asked you to take the eldest girl to the Duke of Wei's Mansion, you agreed!"

She had seen the big girl look at her grandson before, but later she decided to marry her grandson. She was afraid that she would only make the girl uncomfortable if she said that.

Yesterday, after the wife went to drive her son to the eldest girl to the Duke of Wei’s mansion, she was wary and asked again.

This step-wife married their girl when she was eight years old. She brought her ex-husband's daughter. She didn't know how to convince her, and changed her ex-husband's daughter's surname to Su and became the eldest girl of the Su family.

It’s right that the mother and daughter are not good at both, so she still has to find some time to talk to the girl.

"Just this one, don't change it." Su Mei didn't know that the maid was having a lawsuit in her heart, so she stared at the mirror and said, "In fact, it's good for me to let the eldest girl go. Although I'm engaged to my grandson, I'm still two years away from getting married. Even if my elders invite me to visit, I have to be present. Before I get married, I have to avoid suspicion, right?"

As soon as she said this, Zi Kui thought about it and seemed to make some sense, so she didn't mention it again.

After Su Mei finished speaking, she frowned at herself in the mirror.

It is always uncomfortable to tell her about getting engaged to Lin Hengli in person, but if it goes well today, she might be able to withdraw from the marriage directly.

Lin Hengli explained to her in his previous life that on the day of marriage, he actually wanted to explain clearly to her step-sister and not to get entangled again. The two had sex before her engagement, but they rarely met again after the engagement.

So now she has made a marriage to Lin Hengli. Her step-sister has fewer opportunities to see Lin Hengli. How can she catch a gangster and retire? This is why yesterday she learned that the elders of the Duke of Wei’s Mansion invited her to visit and agreed to let her step-sister go with her. She created opportunities without a chance to help her relieve her step-sister’s longing.

If she resolved the matter earlier and she would repay Uncle Lin San well, it would be worthy of God's kindness to her.

I don’t know when the person who asked Uncle Lin San to ask about his whereabouts would be believed. She never knew when Uncle Lin San’s leg was injured. After he was reborn, the first thing he did was to look for him and wanted to remind him, but he didn’t know that he was not in the capital recently.

Zi Kui helped her wear a golden hairpin on the other end, looking left and right, feeling something was missing: "The girl looks too simple like this." As she said that, she wanted to go and go back to the sway.

Seeing that she was busy, she said no, so she put on the earrings and didn't want to dress up.

A hypocrite is not worth letting her spend time dressing up. Women are to please themselves. Of course, her good-looking side should be left to those who truly love themselves.

Thinking of this, Su Mei felt dazed.

After retiring from Lin Hengli, his father probably still had to choose a son-in-law for her. He didn't know what the person he met again. In fact, no matter how big a family members were, as long as he had noble character, he could be entrusted to his life.

It's best...can you be like Uncle Lin San?

"Bao, bah!" Su Mei suddenly sniffed at the mirror a few times.

How could she look for a husband compared to the third master’s standards? That was a blasphemy of the benefactor!
