"The old lady knew that the young lady was not feeling well and that Doctor Cao had left not long ago, but she wanted the young lady to come over. This is too much."

"Keep your voice down. Mother Zhang is still waiting outside. Let's go see if the young lady is awake first, and then make plans..."

The deliberately suppressed voice reached Li Jingwan's ears. She opened her eyes and looked at the familiar environment in front of her, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

The room was neat and tidy, with a familiar scent in the air. It was completely different from the shabby, dirty, and pungent room it had been in before she died.

It was not until she saw Cuiyu and Bitao walking towards her that Li Jingwan finally realized that she was reborn.

In her previous life, as the eldest daughter of General Zhenyuan Li Beiwang, she married Qin Changzhou, the eldest son of the second branch of the Wu'an Marquisate.

On the day of the wedding, news of the war on the northwestern border reached the capital. After the wedding ceremony, without even entering the bridal chamber, Li Changzhou asked to go to the northwest, and he was gone for five years.

During these five years, she was filial to Old Madam Qin and her mother-in-law, managed all the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, and finally waited for Li Changzhou to return.

Qin Chongxiao's two children also came back with him.

Qin Chongxiao is the eldest son of the Marquis's family and also the heir apparent. He went to the northwest three years before Li Jingwan got married.

However, Qin Chongxiao and Li Jingwan's younger brother Li Dingzheng died in a battle.

After returning to Beijing, Qin Changzhou was very cold to Li Jingwan. Her body was exhausted from years of hard work and she had to take medicine all the time.

Qin Changzhou used her health not yet fully recovered as an excuse and never slept with her, but instead focused his attention on his eldest brother's two children.

Later, Li Jingwan accepted the advice of Old Lady Qin and adopted Qin Chongxiao's children under her own name. She had no children, so she devoted all her efforts to her adopted son and daughter.

She devoted herself to training Qin Guangyao, helping him to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. She also arranged an excellent marriage for Qin Lingyun and used most of the dowry she brought from home as Qin Lingyun's dowry, allowing her to marry in grand style.

The Sheng Dynasty stipulated that the title could only be passed on to the eldest legitimate son through blood relations. Relying on the prestige of the General's Mansion, she ran around and got the clan house to recognize Qin Guangyao's position as the crown prince.

Who would have thought that all her hard work over the years would end up serving her enemy.

She accidentally heard that Qin Changzhou was responsible for the deaths of her brother and Qin Chongxiao. After being discovered, she was locked in the bedroom and was not allowed to leave the room until her death.

Before she died, she found out that Qin Guangyao and Qin Lingyun were actually Qin Changzhou's biological children, and Tang Qiaoyin, a distant relative who was called by Old Madam Qin to assist in the management of the Marquis' Mansion, was their biological mother.

Her adopted sons and daughters, whom she loved so much, made no secret of their hatred for her, cursing that if it weren't for her, they wouldn't have been separated from their biological mother for so many years.

Qin Changzhou embraced Tang Qiaoyin and announced that he would marry Tang Qiaoyin as his legal wife, because Tang Qiaoyin was his true love and marrying her was just arranged by Old Lady Qin.

Seeing Li Jingwan hanging on to her last breath, Tang Qiaoyin was very proud and told her that the Zhenyuan General's Mansion was found to have collaborated with the enemy and committed treason. All the men were beheaded and the women were made into official slaves.

The person who found out all this was Qin Guangyao.

Qin Guangyao sacrificed his own relatives for the greater good, and he will soon be promoted together with Qin Changzhou, and Old Madam Qin will also be conferred the title of a first-rank lady.

Li Jingwan, who had already been tortured beyond recognition, spat out a mouthful of blood, felt a sharp pain in her heart, and closed her eyes in endless regret.

When she opened her eyes again, she returned to thirteen years ago, when Qin Guangyao and Qin Lingyun were about to be adopted.

Although she was reborn, the pain before death was like a thorn in her heart.

Bitao and Cuiyu were maids she brought from the general's mansion. They grew up with her and they had a deep relationship.

She remembered Tang Qiaoyin saying that Bitao died suddenly not long after she was locked up, and Cuiyu, who had been married long ago, was also tortured to death by her husband's family.

Now seeing the two of them walking towards her unharmed, Li Jingwan's eyes suddenly turned red.

Fortunately, it was all in time.

In this life, she must take revenge and make those who harmed her die miserably!

She will also protect those around her and never let them get hurt.

"Miss, are you awake?" Bi Tao walked over quickly and saw her holding her chest. She asked anxiously, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? I'll go call Doctor Cao back. He shouldn't have gone far."

"No need." Li Jingwan shook her head, sat up with Cuiyu's help, and leaned against the bed. "I just had a nightmare and I feel a little palpitated."

Bitao's nose felt sore and she held back her tears.

"Miss, you used to be in good health and could even shoot arrows and ride horses. It's because you worked too hard after marrying into the Marquis's Mansion that your health has deteriorated. The doctor the Marquis's Mansion hired is useless. I've been seeing him for several years and there's no improvement. You should go see a famous doctor."

"It's okay." Li Jingwan smiled, "I feel much better. I'll be fine in a few days."

In her previous life, she also thought that it was because of overwork that her body became increasingly weak. In serious cases, she would even faint and had to take medicine all the time to recuperate.

Not at all.

Managing the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion is certainly troublesome, but she had learned how to manage household chores in the General's Mansion since she was a child, and had already become adept at it.

After being locked up in her previous life, Tang Qiaoyin deliberately told her many secrets in order to stimulate her.

One of them was that after Qin Changzhou returned to Beijing, he would give her chronic poison from time to time and use her physical discomfort as an excuse to avoid having sex with her.

Naturally, she felt guilty about not being able to have children, so she not only took the initiative to find a concubine for Qin Changzhou, but also eventually accepted Madam Qin's proposal to adopt her son.

These people planned every step and set numerous traps before she married in.

Cuiyu has always been very steady and unwilling to say discouraging words, "Miss has always been afraid of the cold, and when the late spring cold weather passes in the next two days, she will be completely well again."

Li Jingwan smiled and asked, "What were you talking about when you came in just now?"

Cuiyu replied, "Miss, it's Madam Zhang who came. She said the old lady wants to see you and asked you to go to Fuhetang now."

Bi Tao was very dissatisfied, "Miss, please don't go. After you fainted at noon, I asked someone to call the doctor. Everyone in the mansion knew about it. She didn't come to see you, but asked you to go. It's too much."

"The old lady is the elder, so of course I should go over." Li Jingwan threw back the quilt and got out of bed, "Let's go, don't keep the old lady waiting for too long."

Today is the day when Old Madam Qin proposed adoption in the previous life.

They have done so much, just waiting for this moment.

If she doesn't go, the show won't go on.

After tidying up a bit, Li Jingwan walked out of the room and couldn't help squinting in the slight coolness of spring.

After being imprisoned for several months in her previous life, she finally walked out.

"Young Madam, you finally came out." Madam Zhang's dissatisfied voice came, "You made me wait so long."

Mother Zhang was the daughter who came with Old Madam Qin as a dowry, and she held an extraordinary status in the mansion. In her previous life, Li Jingwan had always respected her and given her a lot of rewards.

This time, Zhang's mother came in person to deliver the message, obviously wanting to give a reward.

However, Li Jingwan did not let Cuiyu pay the money as she wished, but her eyes were stern.

"As a servant, it is your duty to wait for your master. Do you want your master to wait for you? If you can't distinguish between superiors and inferiors, do I need to slap you a few times before you wake up?"

After saying that, without waiting for her to reply, he glanced at Bi Tao and said, "Let's go."

In her previous life, after Li Jingwan was locked up, Mother Zhang had tortured her a lot. How could she tolerate this old woman any longer?

"Yes, Miss." Bitao answered crisply, with the corner of her mouth raised and a sidelong glance at Zhang's mother.

As expected, the other party's face turned red, but he didn't dare to talk back. He held his anger and followed behind.
