Chapter 816: Husband's Misfortune

ly Turns out he's already gone to be by the side of the Third Princess. He was just a lowly attendant who couldn't even make it onto the stage, and now he's actually surpassed me! He’s just relying on...After his original body recovered, he also missed this township examination. The next exam was in three years. In addition, since the original body had to observe filial piety, he could only wait for the township examination in three years.

During this period, Tang Zijun's meticulous care for the original owner, coupled with their prolonged periods of solitude as a single woman and man, gave rise to unfavorable rumors.

Tang Zi Jun's mother was fanning the flames beside her, making Yuan feel guilty and believing that she had tarnished Zi Jun's reputation. In the end, Yuan married Tang Zi Jun as her husband.

At first, Tang Zijing pretended to be gentle and affectionate, diligently following the original owner like a devoted wife. They enjoyed a sweet period together. However, when the original owner started studying day and night, Tang Zijing was gradually neglected.

While the original body was engrossed in their studies, oblivious to the world outside, Tang Zijun subtly took control of the Su family's assets. She secretly helped her own clan by siphoning funds from her husband's family. All of this was done in secret. When the original body finally discovered it, half of the Su family's fortune had already been transferred into the hands of her aunt.

As she was originally a scholar's daughter and physically frail, it would be unacceptable for her to openly confront her aunt. However, she wasn't stupid; she knew she had fallen victim to her aunt's scheme. Therefore, she simply used the excuse that Tang Zijun had married into the Su family but remained childless, and filed a divorce decree to end the marriage.

The original's aunt naturally wouldn't be pleased and brought people to cause trouble. However, at that time, the original was also a bit disheartened. Her only relative had schemed against her like this, so she sold her assets in Qingshan County and, with her confidante, went to take the county examination.

Tang Zijun's family had been causing trouble for two days without any gain. When they went on the third day, the tightly closed Su Mansion gate was open, but the Su Mansion had changed hands and become Zhuang Mansion. The other party was the county magistrate's in-law. This time, they didn't dare to make a fuss anymore, they could only lay down their arms and cease hostilities. After all, they had already plundered half of the Su family's fortune, so they weren't losing out.

In order to allow Tang Zijun to remarry, they spread rumors throughout the county, sullying her original reputation. They claimed that she was unfeeling and ungrateful, saying that after she thought she would pass the civil service exam, she abandoned her husband who had been good to her. They also pointed out that her aunt's devotion to supporting her brother's daughter had been wasted. Anyway, her reputation had already been ruined.

There was a pent-up breath in my heart. This time, the township examination went smoothly and I passed as a Xiucai. Although my ranking wasn't high, it still counts as becoming a Xiucai, so I didn't disappoint my parents' expectations.

Because he passed the entrance exam for scholars, his next step was to prepare for the examination for advancement. At this time, a magistrate from the provincial examinations took notice of him and thought he was worth investing in. So, he betrothed his illegitimate son to him.

With no elders around, the original body was left with only servants attending to them. They couldn't make decisions for themselves and, under the other party's soft and hard tactics, they ended up marrying this illegitimate son.

This groom, however, was a timid and indecisive man who lacked backbone. His mother-in-law controlled him entirely, making him do whatever she pleased. He wasn't any help to the original owner and often dragged him down instead.

The original person still had some luck on his side, he somehow managed to scrape by the exam and became a contributor. This result delighted the officials who had invested in him earlier.

In the final imperial examination, the original owner continued to show his good luck and successfully passed the examination, ranking last in the second class. He became a Jinshi, half-stepping into the court.

The Su family was naturally overjoyed, setting off firecrackers to celebrate and accepting congratulations from all sides. Especially the second husband, his status soared after this, and he became even more smug. This immediately highlighted the difference between the carefully cultivated legitimate son and the illegitimate son of the family.

The original owner was also very self-aware. She knew her weaknesses and wasn't suited for the corrupt officialdom, so she planned to infiltrate a clean government office, aiming for an unremarkable sixth-rank position.

But unfortunately, her mother-in-law highly valued her and arranged for her a sixth-rank position with real power. It was like putting her on a hot grill. Although it seemed prestigious, she had to be constantly cautious and careful, as many eyes were watching her every move.

She herself was careful and meticulous, afraid of making any mistakes. However, her husband, the son of a concubine, was not so cautious. During diplomatic interactions, he was very flamboyant and offended people he shouldn't have. He was tripped up, fell into a trap, and implicated his wife, causing her to almost lose her official position.

Unable to do anything else, the original person could only dissipate their wealth to keep their official position. However, because of the bad influence, they were demoted to a remote place and became a seventh-rank county magistrate.

As for being posted to a frigid and desolate place as an official, the original body was actually able to accept it. However, that concubine's husband couldn't stand it and directly proposed a divorce, taking away all the remaining silver the original body had and leaving after giving a casual pat on the backside.

In the end, his original self became a county magistrate in a remote and frigid place. He was considered unremarkable, neither accomplished nor failing, but his body couldn't withstand it. After a serious illness, he passed away, and the Su family line ended.

The ripples thought that was the end, but unfortunately, the original body, thanks to the merits accumulated by their parents' good deeds, was reborn. This time, they avoided their aunt's schemes, left Qingshan County with their family fortune, and successfully passed the township examination to become a scholar. When the examiner wanted to marry his illegitimate son to her, she had already taken the lead and gone to the imperial city to await the palace examination.

This time, because she knew the exam contents in advance, she became a top scholar, and even won the title of "Jinshi." This made her proud and swept away all the previous unpleasantness.

Therefore, the original owner caught the attention of the empress's youngest son. After all, they were about the same age, and the original owner was unmarried. So, the empress directly issued an order to have her marry the prince.

The original person felt this was not bad either. At least she was the prince's wife, with status and position. Moreover, her status was detached, so she wouldn't be implicated.

> She was overjoyed, for the prince she married had ambitious designs and even interfered in the contest for the throne, supporting the second princess.

In the battle for the throne, the second princess was defeated. In the end, the eldest princess emerged victorious. When it came time to settle accounts, the original owner's husband directly blamed her, saying that she craved power and wanted a title from the Phoenix Campaign. He claimed as a husband, he was powerless to stop her and could only support her out of necessity. Ultimately, the original owner was executed, and the prince was sent to become a monk.

The original person was practically seething with resentment. Having lived two lifetimes, she ultimately fell for her husband both times, and each time was a worse failure than the last. She couldn't understand why she had ended up like this. The resentment wouldn't dissipate, eventually leading the Time Management Bureau to capture her, which resulted in this current mission.

After receiving the memories of two lifetimes from the other party, Lian Yi contacted Shi Jiu Dao:

What is the original body's wish

"Choose a virtuous wife."

"Just this one request"

The ripples fox questioned.

"For this single request, she was no longer interested in wealth and glory; all she desired was a loving and caring partner."

The stone mill chuckled and said.

"Was that according to her standards of beauty, or mine"

The ripples continued to ask.

Of course, according to your plan. After all, the other party failed completely, even losing their own life twice. He doubts his judgment and that's why he took on this mission.

"Alright, since you're giving me a choice, then let her not regret it. After all, she's still coming back. Make sure the original you explains things clearly."how to use it, just like when he received Song Ye's substitute ring.The two of them left the restaurant with their things, obviously going to find Ripples.Can they do itAs long as the two of them work...
