Chapter 1: My sister wants to marry a lame refugee
"Mom, please go find a doctor to save Brother Xuan."

As Xu Chunhua spoke, she carefully wiped the mud off the man's face with a handkerchief.

The man's facial features were as handsome as if carved by a knife. Even though he was unconscious, one could faintly sense the aura of a king emanating from him that shook the world.

Xu Chunhua was stunned by what she saw.

She had always thought that such a handsome man was extremely handsome in her previous life, but it was a pity that he was a penniless refugee at that time. She finally chose to marry Lu Yuan, the son of the county magistrate.

Now think about it carefully, how can Lu Yuan compare to Xuan Jiuqing!

In her previous life, she married Lu Yuan and remained a virgin until her death. That bastard often frequented prostitutes, and as for her, his legal wife, he felt tired just by looking at her, let alone touching her.

After a careful comparison, Lu Yuan felt that Xuan Jiuqing was not as handsome as he thought. What's more, Xuan Jiuqing was the high and mighty Ninth Prince. Last time, he even brought his entire family to live in the capital.

"Chunhua! How could you bring a grown man back to our house? Our family has arranged a marriage for you, and it's with the son of the magistrate of Taohua County. We will never be able to marry into such a family in our lifetime."

Xu's mother has always favored her youngest daughter.

Naturally, she wanted to marry her youngest daughter to such a good family.

"Mom, I don't want to leave home. If the county magistrate's son was really from a good family, so many wealthy daughters in Taohua County would have married him long ago. Why would he marry a peasant girl?"

Xu Chunhua said coquettishly.

"Chunhua, marry into the county magistrate's family. Then you will have maids to serve you. You won't have to work all your life. You don't have to do hard labor in the countryside all your life."

"Mom, we don't have a son, so we can only recruit a live-in son-in-law. You let my sister marry the county magistrate's son Lu Yuan, and I want to marry Brother Xuan and stay at home all my life to take care of my father and mother."

"Chunhua, the county magistrate's son, Young Master Lu, is also very handsome. I saw him when I went to the market in town. There is no man more handsome than him within a hundred miles. It would be a good thing for you to marry him.

Mom has already made inquiries for you. He is a capable man and likes business. Half of the shops in Taohua County are his. I heard that he also has shops in Yancheng!

He is capable and rich, so it's nothing for him to be a little romantic.

That man is not romantic because your father is poor. Even if he were rich, he would definitely have three wives and four concubines. If you marry him, you will be the legal wife, and those concubines will have to come and serve you every day!
If your grandfather hadn't saved his father once, and the two families had made a marriage contract, how could you have gotten such a good marriage?"

Xu's mother still didn't want Xu Chunhua to marry a poor beggar. This man's face was wiped clean and although he could still look good, but looking at his dying appearance, she didn't know if he had any disease. He might even be a sickly person. Not only could he not work, but they would also have to spend money to support him!

Xu Chunhua sneered at Xu's mother. In her previous life, she married Lu Yuan because of Xu's mother's lies. Lu Yuan was indeed rich and had many shops, but he was a stingy person who would never spend a penny.

He was even more cruel. If you didn't do what he wanted, he would put you in solitary confinement and make you copy Buddhist scriptures. If you didn't want to copy the scriptures, he wouldn't give you food. If you didn't copy well, he wouldn't give you food either.

It's not that she didn't cry to her parents-in-law, but they couldn't do anything about their son.

"Mom, didn't Lu Yuan give a dowry worth several thousand taels? His family is so rich, and my sister is so capable, can't we just not give a dowry?

When the time comes, I can keep this money and build a big house. Isn't this better than going to the Lu family?

Besides, Brother Xuan is also a capable person. He is talented and will definitely pass the imperial examination in the future."

Xu Chunhua begged desperately to Xu's mother.

When Xu's mother saw Xu Chunhua like this, she finally agreed to her request.

When the Lu family came to the door, Xu's mother and father handed over Xu Qiuyue's engagement letter.

In fact, the Xu family was also a prominent family in their ancestors. Unfortunately, each generation was weaker than the previous one, and they eventually became farmers in Xujia Village.

What Xu's father wanted most was a son.

Unfortunately, Xu's mother gave birth to two children in a row, both daughters.

Only then did the Xu family start to think about recruiting a son-in-law.

When Xu Qiuyue saw the marriage certificate in the matchmaker's hand, she knew that Xu Chunhua must have been reborn. Otherwise, with Xu Chunhua's personality, she would never look down on Xuan Jiuqing, who had nothing and was sick and lame.

Xu Chunhua was taking care of Xuan Jiuqing wholeheartedly in the house and did not come out to greet the guests.

In this life, Xu Qiuyue did not go to save Xuan Jiuqing. On the contrary, she deliberately avoided that road in order to avoid meeting Xuan Jiuqing.

Life in Xujiazhuang was not easy. Xu's father was a foolishly filial man, and he had no sons, so he was unwilling to divide the family. He wanted to give everything in the family to his nephews.

So in her previous life, she proposed to find a son-in-law and told Xu's father that he didn't have to worry about no one to see him off after his death.

Only then did she pick up Xuan Jiuqing on the roadside, and used the spiritual spring water in the space to save him with all her heart and soul, and then married him.

Only then did the family finally split up, and life at home became a little better.

Unfortunately, because of this, Xu's father hated her.

Later, when Xuan Jiuqing was brought back to the capital, Xu's father couldn't wait to force Xu Qiuyue to become a concubine in the palace, thinking that being a concubine was considered too high a position to marry into the palace. He always considered Xuan Jiuqing's interests, and once Xu Qiuyue had any unhappiness with Xuan Jiuqing, he would say that she was too strong and not something men would like.

Finally, with Xu Qiuyue's strong struggle, she became a princess after going through all kinds of hardships, and the prime minister's daughter became a concubine.

Xu's father was worried that Xuan Jiuqing would be unhappy, so he secretly poisoned Xu Qiuyue, which not only destroyed Xu Qiuyue's martial arts, but also made her infertile for the rest of her life.

This move also earned Xu's family a small official position.

In the end, Father Xu told Xu Qiuyue earnestly that all this was for her own good.

She is a girl who knows martial arts, it is not good to be too strong, which will displease men. As for her infertility, she is already a princess, so it doesn't matter. She can find a niece from the Xu family to be a concubine, and the child born will also be from the Xu family.

In Xu's mother's heart, there is only her youngest daughter Xu Chunhua, and she has always wanted Xu Qiuyue to arrange a position for Lu Yuan and transfer him back to the capital.

But Lu Yuan only loves doing business, so after Xu Qiuyue asked Lu Yuan about his thoughts, she no longer forced him.

Just ask him to take good care of Xu Chunhua.

But because of this, Xu's mother was unhappy. When the poison was poured out, Xu's mother knew about it but deliberately did not tell Xu Qiuyue.

Xu's mother also wanted to let Xu Chunhua and Lu Yuan divorce after Xu Qiuyue was unable to have children, and let her marry Xuan Jiuqing to give birth to children instead of Xu Qiuyue.

But after Xu Chunhua learned that Xu Qiuyue had become a princess, she felt that she had made it big and could finally deal with Lu Yuan's concubines.

But unexpectedly, Lu Yuan just gave Xuan Jiuqing a large amount of silver.

Xu Chunhua was locked up by Lu Yuan again.

When Xu Qiuyue learned about this, she got very angry with Xuan Jiuqing.

In the end, Xu Qiuyue was unable to do anything to Xuan Jiuqing.

Instead, Xuan Jiuqing discovered that with the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, her damaged meridians and dantian showed signs of recovery.

Xuan Jiu kept the secret and allowed Xu's father and mother to continue poisoning Xu Qiuyue.

At that time, Xu Qiuyue wanted to divorce, even with a letter of divorce, but Xuan Jiuqing was unwilling. Xu Qiuyue guessed that Xuan Jiuqing might not know where the spiritual spring water came from, but no matter how he tried to ask, even when Xu Qiuyue loved him the most, Xu Qiuyue never revealed a word.

In the end, they just thought that Xu Qiuyue had a special physique and could not be killed by any poison.

After being married for many years, they finally became suspicious of each other and turned against each other, without any love at all.

Thinking back on it now, Xu Qiuyue still feels a dull pain in her heart.
