On the outskirts of Beijing, in the backyard of Longyue Nunnery.

The howling cold wind blew through the cracks in the window, chilling people's bones.

Su Leyun, dressed in gray plain clothes, knelt on the futon, twirling Buddhist beads in his hand and reciting scriptures silently.

She was expelled from her husband's family and spent half a year in Longyue Temple introspecting. The hysteria when I first came here is gone, and I feel calm now.

Everything is destiny, and you can't blame others.

She only felt guilty towards her mother, brother, and grandfather.

She was already married when her mother was seriously ill, and was trapped in the small space of the Li family. She was unable to serve the soup and medicine in front of the sick bed, and she didn't even see her mother for the last time.

My grandfather was framed and dragged his old body to the battlefield, where he died on the same battlefield as his brother. His body has not yet been recovered...

In this world, everyone who truly loves her is no longer there.

The door creaked open from the outside.

A proud female voice sounded along with the sound of soft footsteps.

"The legitimate daughter of the Marquis was left in the countryside, and I was forced to occupy this beautiful family background for fourteen years. Now she is in such a situation, being controlled by others. It's really ridiculous..."

Su Leyun paused slightly with the Buddhist beads on his fingertips.

Su Waner raised her hand and asked the guards to bring the person up.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

The two girls, also dressed in gray plain clothes, struggled, but the guards held their arms tightly and forced them into the door.

"Lotus heart! Green willow."

Su Leyun's eyes were shocked: "If you have any big reasons, come to me, so there is no need to embarrass these two girls."

Su Waner pinched her chin and looked bitterly at this face that was bright and moving even without makeup. A sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered the guards in a cold voice.

"kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword passed through his chest, and blood fell to the ground along the gray coarse cloth. In a moment, it gathered in a small pool, and Cuiliu lost his life before his eyes.

Su Leyun's hands were powerless, so the guards cut her hands behind her back and pressed them together with Lian Xin.

Su Leyun's eyes were filled with sadness, but also with a bit of determination that would destroy both the jade and the stone.

"Su Wan'er, although I was expelled to Longyue Nunnery by the Li family, Li Rui did not divorce his wife. I am still the wife of a Hanlin bachelor. I will make you pay the price for what you did today."

Su Waner laughed loudly with contemptuous eyes.

"Mrs. Bachelor? Do you think the Li family will stand up for you?"

"Do you know why Brother Rui suddenly agreed to marry you? Because I complained to him that you were bullying me at home every day because of your status as my legitimate daughter. He married you into the Li Mansion just to make my life easy."

Su Leyun was stunned, so that was it. No wonder he has never been willing to touch her since they got married, and even found unfounded charges to expel her from the Li Mansion.

Seeing Su Leyun's shocked look, Su Waner's smile became even brighter. She took out a dagger from her sleeve and slowly pierced the lotus heart.

"Well……"

Lian Xin gritted her teeth and refused to cry out in pain.

Su Leyun was stunned, but was held tightly by the guards.

"Good sister, don't worry, you will be here soon."

Su Wan'er pulled out the dagger, and the cold blade fell on Su Leyun's face, sliding thinly, and blood streaks slid down the fair skin. Su Leyun seemed to feel no pain, and just stared at Su Wan'er.

"You are the last member of the Sun family. Only if you die can we feel at ease."

Su Leyun forced himself to calm down, his thoughts turning rapidly.

Grandfather Sun Shao was a dignified general who protected the country. He was upright, honest and courageous. How could he be framed for no reason?

My elder brother is a straightforward man and is well versed in the art of war. At the age of thirteen, he went to the frontier with his grandfather to practice. He has rich experience. How could he be greedy for merit and rush forward, leading to the annihilation of the entire army?

Now that I think about it, the places where my grandfather and brother died are strange...

"Is my grandfather's death related to you?"

Su Leyun asked Su Waner with cold eyes.

"I'm not that capable. I just blame him for being on the wrong team and taking care of things he shouldn't."

Amelia Su smiled sinisterly and spoke proudly.

"Ha, seeing as you are about to die, I can't help but say a few more words. Although Sun Shao's matter has nothing to do with me, your mother's death was my own fault."

"It's pitiful that she lingers on the sickbed, waiting to see you for the last time."

"Su Waner, she is also your mother after all, how could you do it!"

Su Leyun's eyes were so wide open that his face was covered with bloodstains, looking very horrifying.

"Who told you that she only has eyes for you! You can't blame me for this. If you want to blame me, blame you for not coming back. You should have died in Lijiacun!"

Su Wan'er gritted her teeth and stabbed the dagger into Su Leyun's chest with her backhand.

Severe pain bloomed, and Su Leyun was thrown to the ground like a piece of rag by the guard. With strong hatred in his eyes, he looked in the direction Su Wan'er left.

She hates it! She hates it!

With blood loss and his body getting colder, Su Leyun became unconscious. As he lay dying, his eyes fell on the Buddha statue on the case.

…………

Jingzhou City, inn, room No. 1, Tianzi.

"Cold, so cold."

The candlelight flickered, and the bath water with rose petals floating in it had cooled down. A girl with a gloomy face and a thin body leaned naked against the wall of the barrel, her eyes closed tightly, and she hugged her shoulders shivering.

Su Leyun shivered in a daze, and two female voices, deliberately lowered, could be heard vaguely in his ears.

"The legitimate daughter is back, what will happen to the one at home?"

"Didn't the old lady say that everything will remain as usual? I just think there is an extra second lady in the family."

"Obviously she is her biological legitimate daughter, but now she has to be the second lady behind her adopted daughter. The old lady is really partial."

"Why is this old lady so partial? Look at this one inside. In terms of conversation and grooming, she is not even as good as us high-ranking maids, let alone Miss Wan'er!"

The long eyelashes like butterfly wings fluttered and slowly opened, and her eyes changed from confusion to clarity.

Looking around at the simple inn furnishings, Su Leyun raised a sneer on his lips.

God was merciful and gave her a chance to start over!
