Chapter 1
Cool autumn, midnight.

In the atrium of Song's house, the branches of the sycamore tree swayed in the wind, and a few yellow leaves swayed down.

A group of maids and servants stood in the courtyard, looking numbly at the flickering candlelight coming from the doors and windows of the main room.

The eldest lady in the house is dying. She has been in bed for more than a year. Her condition suddenly took a turn for the worse in the past few days.

The doctor said it was time to prepare for the funeral.

The mourning hall was set up, the coffin was laid, and the mourning clothes were made. The whole family waited for three days, and the servants like them didn't sleep a wink for three days.

The grief has been exhausted, and I just hope that the dust will settle soon and everyone can be relieved.

In the room, Song Yu paced back and forth, glancing at the dying woman on the bed from time to time, feeling anxious in his heart.

Doctor Wu said the day before yesterday that Jiang Wan Ning would not survive the night before. However, it was past midnight tonight and she had not yet died.

"Mr. Lang, are you feeling resentful and unwilling to leave? My maid... I heard that such a person will turn into a ghost when he dies..." a voice said timidly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind swept through the room out of thin air, almost blowing out the candlelight.

Song Yu shuddered and his face instantly turned pale.

He waved to the maid Qing'e who was speaking. Qing'e was also scared and hurriedly came to Song Yu's side.

Song Yu grabbed Qing'e, hid behind her and pushed her towards the bed little by little.

Qing'e's whole body was resisting, and she refused to take another step forward when she was three feet away from the bed.

The person on the bed had sunken eye sockets and a sallow complexion, looking like a dying person.

Song Yu trembled and said: "A Ning, you can't blame me for this. If you do, blame your father for clinging to the powerful. You Jiang family are lowly merchants. Since I married you, I have been looked down upon by my classmates and been My friends laughed at me, and everyone said that I was greedy for the Jiang family’s money..."

"Zi Yin and I were childhood sweethearts. We were in love. We were supposed to get married this year, but you broke us up... Who can I complain to?"

"I am worthy of you. You have been here for more than a year, and you have been on the sickbed for more than half of the time. I have hired the best doctors to treat you."

"It's because you are so angry and so narrow-minded that you ended up like this. Ah Ning, just close your eyes in peace... After you die, I will ask the eminent monk to perform rituals for you, help you to be saved, and help you find a good family in the next life. "

The person on the bed suddenly trembled his eyelashes a few times, slowly opened his eyes, and called out: "Mr. Lang..."

The sound was erratic and faint, as if it came from the ground.

Qing'e screamed...ah...

Song Yu also jumped up in fright. The two panicked people didn't know who tripped whom. They fell into a ball and tried to get up. However, their legs were weak and they could only crawl using their hands and feet.

For the past three days, Jiang Wan Ning could only breathe a sigh of relief, except that he was no different from a dead person. He spoke so suddenly that it would scare people crazy.

"Mr. Lang, you have made me suffer so much..."

Song Yu was stunned and forced himself to calm down. Could it be that she had regained her light?

Song Yu swallowed hard and boldly crawled back to the bed, trembling: "Madam, those words... I just said them."

Jiang Wanning turned her eyes to look at him: "How could Mr. Lang do such unscrupulous things when he is well-read in poetry and books? I know that Mr. Lang just wants to make Madam Xu feel at ease."

Song Yu nodded hurriedly. He couldn't think of such a perfect excuse himself, but Jiang Wanning thought of it for him.

Wiping the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves: "Madam, you know that I have been blaming myself very much these days. If Madam is really up to something, I...I will find a rope and hang myself."

"Since marrying into the Song family, the husband has been very considerate of me, my mother-in-law treats me as if she were my own, my sister-in-law is harmonious, and I will be able to live in this husband's family for this life..."

"Who would have known... The husband has already had his heart set on his own, and he treats my concubine well, which is just his kindness."

Song Yu held Jiang Wan Ning's skinny hand and said with false affection: "Since I married you, I will naturally treat you well. Don't worry, you will always be my wife, Song Yu."

Treat her well?
If he didn't have another intention for her, he wouldn't want to look at her again.

After all, I blame my father. My father misappropriated the money from building the river embankment to do business at sea. As a result, the ship sank and he lost all his money. The superiors wanted to investigate the matter of repairing the river embankment, and they urgently needed a large amount of money to make up for it. deficit.

Jiang Maochun took this as a inducement and agreed to make up for the shortfall of the Song family, and promised to prepare a generous dowry for Jiang Wanning.

Therefore, marrying her is just a temporary measure.According to her mother's plan, it would be natural for her to linger on the sick bed and eat away at her dowry bit by bit, and then let her die of illness.

In this way, the Song family could not only make up for the shortfall, but also get a generous dowry. The Jiang family could not find fault and could only blame his own daughter for her unlucky fate.

Unexpectedly, she listened to what he and his cousin Xu Ziyin said in private.

Now that things have come to a point, she has to die even if she doesn't want to.

Otherwise, it would be okay if she wrote a letter to inform the Jiang family in Ningzhou, or spread the word that he wanted to harm her.

Jiang Wan Ning seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She closed her eyes and murmured like a mosquito.

Song Yu put his ear to her mouth to hear what she said clearly.

"Mr. Lang, let's make peace. I am willing to give up everything... to help Lang Jun and Madam Xu..." The voice weakened and gradually became inaudible.

Song Yu called out twice: "Madam, Madam..."

The person on the bed didn't respond.

He stretched out his hand to test his breath, and found that his breath was much smoother, not as intermittent as before.

Song Yu hesitated for a moment and then ordered: "Qing'e, go and call Doctor Wu."

After the two of them left, Jiang Wanning opened her eyes, and her originally distracted eyes were now as cold as ice springs.

In the past few days, her consciousness was sometimes awake and sometimes blurry, as if she was having a dream.

In the dream, there were corpses all over the ground, fires were shooting into the sky, and the sound of fighting was loud.

Wearing armor and holding a spear, she desperately resisted the siege of hundreds of people.

She gradually became exhausted and finally couldn't hold on anymore. Several spears penetrated her body, and more spears stabbed her...

She was forced to kneel there, blood flowing from her knees, and her vision gradually blurred.

In the light of the fire, she saw a person galloping towards her. She tried to open her eyes wide but could not see the person's appearance clearly. The person seemed to be calling her name, but the only sound in her ears was her own heavy breathing... …

Until consciousness sinks into darkness.

In the dream, she seemed to be experiencing the life of another woman.

Then she realized that she... Shangguan Nanzhi was reborn!

She became Jiang Wanning, the daughter-in-law of Song's family.

Jiang Wanning is the only daughter of Jiang Maochun, the richest man in Ningchuan. She married into the Song family last year and fell ill soon after.

What the original owner didn't know was that she was not sick, but had been poisoned by a chronic poison that would weaken a person's body, make her sick every now and then, and eventually lead her to a terminal illness for which no medicine could cure her.

The original owner was stimulated the day before yesterday, arousing the poison, and died. It was her soul that continued this life.

The Song family is a bunch of hypocrites who eat people without spitting out their bones. They are really villains.

He poisoned the original owner, made him linger on the sick bed, and used various methods to embezzle the original owner's dowry.

If the original owner's dowry hadn't been too large, he would have died long ago.

Jiang Maochun tried his best to marry his daughter to the Song family, but he didn't know that he was sending a fat sheep into the wolf's den.

However, these clumsy methods of the Song family were only used to deal with the original owner who was so rich in honeypots and had a simple mind.

Now if it were her Shangguan Nanzhi, they would be the unlucky ones.

Jiang Wan Ning, I will help you seek justice.

As for her, Shangguan Nanzhi will have to seek justice sooner or later.

 Azi is back, welcome friends to the pit!A lot of support for A Zi’s new book.
