The fifth prince did nothing in the Nanshan Rebellion, but the Supreme Emperor ignored him, and only let the new emperor make him the king of Kangping County, and arranged a marriage, which is almost the same.

The future concubine is the daughter of a fourth-rank official. Although the fifth prince is not well-known and her future is likely to be mediocre, it is better than being dragged down by the second and fourth princes and demoted to the wives of common people.

In the future, the concubine's family is still comforting herself, but the newly announced King of Kangping County asked for a concubine within two days after being promised marriage.

He said that because of some accidents, he and Lu Wan already had a skin relationship, so he wanted to take her into the mansion early.

It sounds like it's just the Fifth Prince's affair, and the new emperor will not embarrass him on such a trivial matter, so he accepts it generously.

In fact, the fifth prince was not reconciled to his father's early abdication as the crown prince. Although the second prince and the fourth prince were defeated and were deposed as common people and exiled in Youzhou, they still fought. It's not like if you don't have anything, the overall situation is settled.

A small county prince, a declining clan who will be excluded from power and marginalized in the future, how could Fifth Prince Xiao Yuanqi be willing to spend the next few decades like this.

And at this time, there was still Lu Wan who was willing to believe and support him.

The fifth prince was very moved, and he would never forget the special thing about Lu Wan.

Although Lu Yunchi was crippled and the Marquis of Weining had fallen, Lu Wan still had value.

The Nanshan rebellion went beyond the expected control and cost him his troops, but Lu Wan's prophetic dream was not fake. With this, there may not be no opportunities in the future. There were also examples of clans successfully usurping the throne in the previous dynasty.

So the fifth prince was obedient on the surface, but in fact he rekindled his fighting spirit, and made plans to take Lu Wan into the mansion.

The news of the marriage reached the Marquis of Weining, only then did the old lady know that Lu Wan had hooked up with the King of Kangping County in private, and even promised herself out.

As soon as the servant who was waiting to deliver the decree left, the old lady leaned on a cane and cursed with a ferocious face, "You shameless thankless wretch."

If it hadn't been for the royal family who bestowed the marriage, the imperial edict had already been issued, and the old lady wished she could immediately lock up Lu Wan and beat her to death with sticks.

Under the old lady's almost devouring gaze, Lu Wan was so frightened that she trembled all over,

The old lady sneered at Lu Yunchi who was sitting in the wheelchair with a pale face, "This is the girl you like. You ignored your real grandmother, biological mother and biological sister for her sake, and in the end she repaid you like this."

"Our Hou's mansion took her in as a wild girl who occupied the magpie's nest. Now that the Hou's mansion is in decline, she is ungrateful and has gone to climb high branches with all her heart. She wants to leave you to become the princess of the county king, and we will all be fooled." Drum."

And Lu Yunchi's eyes were dark and without focus, which gave people a particularly sinister feeling of wanting to destroy everything, which made Lu Wan feel even more frightened when he saw it.

She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Lu Yunchi, "I am already the fifth prince's man."

Lu Wan knew that she was sorry for him, but the Hou Mansion was dead in name only, and Lu Yunchi was a useless person again. She still had a great youth, so she couldn't be buried in this Hou Mansion with them. Fortunately, she still has other ways to retreat, with the fifth prince and the Lin family, even if she is in such a hurry to marry as a side concubine, it is better to stay in this Hou's mansion.

Just this one sentence was like Ling Chi Lu Yunchi's heart, making him bruises all over his body, and the veins in his hands holding the wheelchair were exposed.

And listening to the old lady's words made him feel even more ridiculous. He would rather hurt Lu Wan who was desperately protected by anyone, but in the end he would leave him. When he was most painful, seriously injured and disabled, he was happy with others. If Lu Wan hadn't admitted it personally, he wouldn't have believed it, she would have betrayed him.

It turned out that Lu Wan's heart for him had always been false, and those sweet words, warmth and intimacy in the past were nothing but hypocrisy.

But at this moment, the Lin family came and said they wanted to take Lu Wan back, "The third girl is our own daughter, so she will marry from our family." Mother Lin said carelessly.

They also heard about the accident in the Hou's Mansion, and felt a little regretful that they would not be able to continue to be honored by the Hou's Mansion in the future. But in a blink of an eye, Lu Wan was going to marry into the county prince's mansion as a side concubine. That would be royal wealth, and her status was extraordinary.

Wouldn't their son Lin Yan be the county king's brother-in-law in the future, so he wouldn't be able to be an official.

The Lin family's parents were eager to beat the gongs and drums to publicize the good news. It was Lu Wan who said that they wanted to go home and get married. Of course, the Lin family's parents were very happy. It can be said back to the village that their Lin family has a noble lady.

Lu Wan lowered her head, which was also the default attitude. She could imagine how angry and resentful the old lady and Lu Yunchi would be for her betrayal after the marriage decree. It would be better to just go back to the Lin family, officially recognize the Lin family as her natal family, and dissociate herself from the Hou family.

She told the fifth prince that she was thinking of her relatives after all, and the fifth prince also felt that Weining Hou's mansion had fallen, so it didn't matter that Lu Wan never married from the Hou's mansion.

Looking at the silent Lu Wan and the smiling Lin parents, the old lady understood Lu Wan's thoughts in an instant. A kind of strong anger of being fooled swept over her. A little girl was fooled.

Thinking of Lu Wan's lucky star fate, the Lin family will soon rely on her to climb up to the county prince's mansion, no matter how bad the Hou mansion is, it has nothing to do with her.

The old lady's eyes darkened, and her whole body shook.

Seeing that the old lady had fainted, she said that she was going to die soon. The Lin family couple was startled, but they hurriedly dragged Lu Wan away. The third girl in their family will be a side concubine in a few days, so they can't get involved with the dead. unlucky.

Lu Wan also seemed relieved, and left with her parents without even looking at Lu Yunchi. Staying in the Hou's mansion for a while is a kind of torture for her.

………

The old lady died that night.

Outsiders could not help sighing for a while when they heard that the old matriarch of the Hou Mansion was supposed to enjoy her old age, but so many things happened at the end, and she watched her grandson become useless, the Hou Mansion fell, and suffered repeated blows. I can't go down.

And the fake daughter who was once favored by the Hou's mansion married into the Kangping County Prince's Mansion within two days, before the main concubine entered the door, and she knew how anxious she was at first glance.

Some people also said that the side concubine got married earlier because she lost her reputation by accidentally being with King Kangping. But no matter how the Hou Mansion has raised her for many years, the old lady passed away without even wearing sackcloth and mourning for a day, which shows that she has no etiquette or shame.

This gossip in Beijing reached the ears of the new emperor. Although he didn't have a good impression of the Weininghou Mansion, after all, he still respects the Supreme Emperor, so he must show filial piety, let alone tolerate these things.

So a decree from the palace went down and demoted Lu Wan from a side concubine to the lowest rank of concubine.

Lu Wan and the Fifth Prince Xiao Yuanqi had only been newly married for a few days, and they received such a blow. Lu Wan's face turned as white as snow in an instant, as if falling into an ice cave. She has worked so hard for so long, focusing on pursuing status, but now she has become a concubine who has no rank and can't even go out to meet people.

Xiao Yuanqi, king of Kangping County, did not dare to object and accepted the order respectfully.

Then he gently comforted the sad Lu Wan in private, "Don't worry, no matter what Wan'er's status is, this king will not change his mind, will always treat you as before, and will not let anyone in the county palace bully you."

With Xiao Yuanqi's promise, Lu Wan got a little better. At the same time, she also firmly supported Xiao Yuanqi's seizure of the throne. Only in this way can she get more glory and honor.

For this reason, Lu Wan almost desperately recalled the valuable things in her rebirth memory, hoping that it would be useful.

Xiao Yuanqi also paid more and more attention to her, even though the main concubine hadn't married in yet, it was already rumored in Beijing that King Kangping loved her concubine very much, and she was like a mistress in the mansion.

Among them, the Lin family is the most proud. Because the new emperor was abdicated by the Supreme Emperor, he did not change his name for three years, and the year of the imperial examination that was originally scheduled was also cancelled. The Lin family's original goal of coming to Beijing had to stop.

They were not discouraged. Although Lin Yan failed the imperial examination, they climbed to the county palace.

The Lin family's parents had always wanted to ask Lu Wan to help her find an official position for Lin Yan, but Lu Wan was looking forward to Lin Yan's passing the imperial examinations and becoming an official in the imperial court to become her support. Rather than relying on her to pull away nepotism.

She treated the Lin family with the utmost benevolence, and even begged Xiao Yuanqi to find a learned scholar to accept Lin Yan as a student.

But she didn't know that the hearts of the Lin family had been brought up long ago, and their vision was high. As soon as they came to the capital, they saw the wealth and splendor of the Hou Mansion. There are quite a few people who are flattering and flattering around me. Once heart is floating, how can continue to keep feet on the ground.

Even Lin Yan with the best brain, he came for the imperial examination high school, but don't forget that he took the imperial examination from the beginning to pursue a bright future, a high official and a generous salary.

If the new emperor succeeds to the throne without changing his name, then the imperial examination will have to be postponed for at least three years. It would be too difficult for Lin Yan to wait for another three years and insist on studying hard. There is a shortcut beside Qingyun Road, why not take it.

Lin Yan is not only very utilitarian, but also has a high self-esteem, thinking that even if he becomes an official now, he can still show his talents.

Now that Lu Wan didn't agree, it meant that the Lin family's rich future could not survive. In the end, Lu Wan had no choice but to ask Lin Yan to find a small official under the King of Kangping County. The Lin family never imagined that it was this choice that sent Lin Yan to the guillotine and turned the Lin family's wealth into an empty dream.

Gu Ran once went to see Ning Shi, and there was no disguise, but when Ning Shi saw that her face was very similar to her own daughter, but her demeanor was completely different, tears had already shed, she knew that Gu Ran was not Her daughter Lu Han.

Since Ning recognized the difference between her and the original owner, Gu Ran would not deceive a poor lady, she said frankly, "I am indeed not Lu Han, she is already dead."

Even without the fire, the original owner was just waiting to die and wouldn't live long.

Gu Ran said again, "I promise her to avenge her."

"I am responsible for most of the current affairs in the Weininghou Mansion." There are also a few things that are not involved in her, and they are in fact their own fault.

Gu Ran's words were very straightforward, which shocked Ning Shi, but she quickly calmed down. She thought that the child was really complaining about the Hou's mansion. Her relatives treated her so cruelly and mercilessly. She blamed her mother for not picking her up in the end. Thinking of this, Ning couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart.

Gu Ran didn't say any words of comfort and understanding on behalf of the original owner, but said sincerely, "If you are willing to go with me, I will take good care of you. This is also Lu Han's wish."

Ning shook her head, "No need, I'll just stay here."

She looked at Gu Ran again, as if looking at her daughter through her appearance, but Gu Ran was not Lu Han after all, and she would not let others be her daughter's substitute to comfort herself.

Ning smiled and sighed, "Thank you, what you have done for me is enough."

………

After the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he intends to let Gu Ran stay, and promises to serve as an official in the court, assisting Jiangshan to become a marquis and a prime minister.

These were all declined by Gu Ran. The last world was too tiring. After the original owner's wish was fulfilled in this world, she planned to live a happy life and be free.

Xiao Yuanyu did not force her to stay, but only said that she could come back at any time, and the emperor promised that she would never change.

Less than a year after leaving Beijing, when Gu Ran was traveling in the mountains and rivers in Shu, he heard that the king of Kangping County was confiscated and imprisoned for treason because he dug iron mines and forged weapons without permission.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Ran could guess that after Lu Wan and the Fifth Prince were together, most of them were still not reconciled. But Xiao Yuanyu has already ascended to the throne of God. Under such a general situation, if the fifth prince and Lu Wan can still cause any troubles, it will be a matter of Xiao Yuanyu's ability.

Later, Gu Ran occasionally went back to Capital City to visit Ning Shi, in order to ensure that the rest of her life would be safe.

When he was in the nunnery, he unexpectedly saw Prince Hongyang's son. He saw that Gu Ran's expression was a bit complicated, but he still said, "Your Majesty asked me to send a gift to Mr. Gu."

That gift turned out to be the entire Weininghou Mansion.

Prince Hongyang's son told Gu Ran that Lu Yunchi had been demoted as a commoner and punished for the same crime because he secretly hid the concubine of the king of Kangping County and Lu Wan, who was also a treasonous criminal. It stands to reason that the title, the Marquis Mansion and all its property were nationalized, but His Majesty thought of Mr. Gu's kindness back then and gave it to her for her disposal.

Gu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, this gift is really interesting.

Prince Hongyang's son also talked to her a lot, including His Majesty's new policies after he ascended the throne, and also mentioned His Majesty's rectification of Buddhist temples.

Gu Ran only smiled and listened without speaking.

Prince Hongyang looked at her and asked hesitantly, "Are you the daughter of Marquis Weining who survived back then?"

Gu Ran asked with a half-smile, "Yes or no, does that matter?"

In the end, Gu Ran gave the gift to Ning. She can go back to live by herself if she likes, or choose an heir she likes to inherit the position and serve her filially. Presumably she would not want Marquis WeiNing to be cut off here.

But Gu Ran left Capital City again and continued her life of traveling around the world, but she never came back. heard that she even went to sea.
