Chapter 47 Do You Know? 1
After resigning from his official post, he wandered the martial arts world for a long time, thoroughly enjoying the thrill of being a chivalrous hero and the joy of revenge.
Only after I grew tired of this world did I finally give myself a good ending.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that this time, the time travel didn't hurt.
Each time he transmigrated, it was no less than a form of torture. And with each transmigration, the pain intensified, indirectly causing him to dislike every world. After all, his first impression of another world was pain, something no one could bear.
Surprisingly, it didn't hurt this time!
Why is that?
He didn't do anything in the last world either.
Could it be because he changed the original owner's fate of dying in Chongxiao Tower in the previous world and fulfilled the original owner's wish?
Thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible.
After he transmigrated to the previous world, he first had Hua Hudie Hua Chong arrested ahead of time, and then directly used the power of his mind to quickly pass through Chongxiao Tower. This not only changed the original owner's fate of dying in Chongxiao Tower, but also allowed the original owner, who was in a sorry state in the 'cat and mouse struggle', to regain his dignity.
Moreover, after the Five Rats were granted official positions, rumors circulated that the reason they caused trouble in Tokyo was entirely because they were jealous of Zhan Zhao becoming a fourth-rank guard in Kaifeng Prefecture, and that they were using the name of the "Imperial Cat" to make trouble.
However, this was accompanied by his great merit in the battle to besiege the Prince of Xiangyang, after which he resigned from his post and left, thus dispelling the rumor and completely clearing away the last remaining stain on his record.
They've gained both substance and prestige, truly achieving both fame and fortune.
That should be it!
The two worlds he has traveled through so far are Jia Huan's bewildering death and Bai Yutang's swift and decisive demise.
The former had been brainwashed by Aunt Zhao for a long time, and his greatest wish was to surpass Jia Baoyu and inherit Jia Zheng's family business. However, he was only concerned with being lazy and didn't think about what the original owner's wishes or resentment were.
The latter, having suffered greatly in the cat-and-mouse struggle, likely desires to achieve something significant and regain his lost face.
After transmigrating, he became curious about Chongxiao Tower and successfully passed through it. He also managed to obtain the evidence of Xiangyang King's crimes, inadvertently fulfilling the original owner's wish. Therefore, he was spared the damned 'transmigration sequelae' in this world.
That makes sense!
However, in the previous world, he was able to defeat the enemy with one blow and help the court eliminate the Prince of Xiangyang ahead of time because he had read the novel "The Three Heroes and Five Gallants" and knew Bai Yutang's ending and the trajectory of events.
He might not have that kind of luck again!
Thinking of this, he fell into deep thought for a moment.
He didn't realize that his thoughts had shifted from how to return to the original world to how to change the original body's fate.
"Oh!"
The door was pushed open forcefully, and a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old rushed in, her face filled with panic. She grabbed his sleeve and said in a choked voice, "Brother, please go and save my mother!"
?
In this life, he was Sheng Changfeng, the illegitimate son of Sheng Hong, a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works. The woman in front of him was his twin sister, Sheng Molan.
Alright! This time, he's transmigrated into the body of an illegitimate son!
"Don't rush, tell me slowly, what exactly happened?" He hadn't sorted out his memories yet and was somewhat confused, so he gently soothed the girl's emotions. Seeing his unhurried manner, the girl stamped her feet anxiously, tears streaming down her face, and hurriedly explained:
"The eldest mistress said that the young lady was having an affair, so she ordered the servants to tie her up and take her to Wei Rui Xuan. She also brought in slave traders to sell the young lady."
At this point, the girl burst into tears: "Brother, you know that my mother has always been loving and devoted to Father, and admires him. How could she possibly go out and have an affair? This must be a scheme by my wife to frame my mother. Brother, please go and help my mother!"
Sheng Changfeng was stunned. His stepmother was about to be sold off by his stepmother right after he transmigrated. Was his life going to be this exciting?
Seeing him stunned, Sheng Molan assumed he was too cowardly to help, gave him a cold snort, and ran out.
Sheng Changfeng quickly regained his senses and organized the original owner's memories in his mind to understand the grudges between the concubine and the eldest wife.
Madam Wang's real name was Wang Ruofu. She came from a noble family. Her father was honored with a place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and her mother was granted an imperial title. She was the principal wife whom Madam Xu, the matriarch of the Sheng family, personally arranged for Sheng Hong to marry.
Having been married for nearly twenty years, she gave birth to one son and two daughters, Sheng Changbai, Sheng Hualan, and Sheng Rulan. She naturally had a strong sense of self-worth in the Sheng family. However, because of her strong personality and fiery temper, she was not very popular with Sheng Hong.
His concubine, Lin Qinshuang, was originally a down-on-her-luck heiress who sought refuge with the old lady. However, after seeing the wealth of the Sheng family, she looked down on the family chosen by the old lady and secretly began an affair with Sheng Hong. While heavily pregnant, she forced the main wife to accept the concubine's tea, officially becoming Sheng Hong's favored concubine. She then gave birth to him and Sheng Molan in succession.
Lin Qinshuang was beautiful and charming, with a graceful figure and great talent. She was gentle and attentive to Sheng Hong and was very much loved by him. Fearing that she would be bullied, he not only gave her gold and silver jewelry and land deeds, but also gave her the power to manage the Sheng family. This made the eldest daughter-in-law hate her to the core.
In order to counterbalance Lin Xiaoniang, Madam Chang specially arranged for Sheng Hong to take in a virtuous concubine named Wei Xiaoniang. Wei Xiaoniang was well-versed in poetry and literature, had a peaceful temperament, and was even more beautiful than Lin Qinshuang. Unfortunately, she died in childbirth during her second pregnancy, leaving behind only Sheng Minglan, who is now being raised by the old lady.
For over a decade, the eldest wife and concubine Lin Xiaoniang had been locked in a power struggle, with the eldest wife constantly plotting to sell the latter out. Unfortunately for them, their master protected her fiercely, and Lin Xiaoniang was cunning, ultimately causing the eldest wife to suffer considerable losses.
Yesterday, Sheng Hong was detained in the palace by the Emperor for some unknown reason, and the entire household was filled with anxiety.
Lin Xiaoniang was also afraid of something going wrong, so she secretly took the farmland and shops to sell for money. It is estimated that the eldest daughter-in-law found out about this and used it to her advantage, saying that she had an affair and wanted to sell her off directly.
When Sheng Hong returned, no one knew where the people had gone, and even though he was angry, there was nothing he could do.
Sheng Hong values his reputation above all else, and even if he's angry, he won't divorce his wife. Once Lin Qinshuang is gone from his harem, she'll rule the world all by herself.
"Is this kind of power struggle within a family really this brutal?" Sheng Changfeng clicked his tongue in amazement.
The eldest daughter-in-law is so eager to punish the younger daughter-in-law that she must know that Sheng Hong is safe and sound in the palace and will be able to return home soon, which is why she is so rough and impatient.
Lin Xiaoniang was clear-headed and always left herself a way out. She knew what she could and couldn't do. Therefore, she would never do anything like having an affair.
So now, if they can just stall for a while until Sheng Hong returns, their current crisis will be resolved.
Moreover, the eldest daughter-in-law acts hastily, and in her haste, her actions are bound to leave flaws, which should not be difficult to detect.
"Someone come here!"
