After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 1 Even if you die, you still have to be a resentful ghost
In the winter of Tianjian's 67th year, there was a severe cold, with snowflakes flying all over the sky. People can't help but think of the severe winter of Tianjian's 23rd year.

At this time, the carriage of the Marquis Mansion was parked on the official road outside the capital, and sitting in the carriage was the old lady of Pingyang Marquis, Ke Yiqing, who is now the head of the eight aristocratic families.

She has a thin body and gentle features. The long and hard years have left traces on her body, and her hair is already full of white hair just after she turned sixty.

"Cough cough cough..." The cough came quickly, making her thin body appear exhausted.

Yujin stepped forward to support her and reluctantly fed her some water.

"You suffered from cold labor when you were young, which caused the root cause of your illness. It's freezing outside, so you might as well come back another day."

She was interrupted before she could finish her words. The old lady waved her hands, with a rare venom in her eyes, "Yu Jin, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I don't have much time, and I want to be a sensible person before I die!"

No matter what, she had to go up the mountain today!
Yu Jin had no choice but to follow her wishes, but as soon as she got off the carriage, Ke Yiqing's legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees.

"Old lady!"

"Ahem..." Ke Yiqing suppressed the sweetness in her throat and stood up straight stubbornly. She had traveled all the way to get here, not to give up halfway.

Taoyuan Village is right in front of us, but the mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate. It had just rained in spring a while ago, and the road was muddy. Cars and horses could not travel, so the master and servant could only walk up it.

Ke Yiqing had lived a hard life and had some leg problems. She could hardly walk on this mountain road. Thanks to Yu Jin watching from behind, otherwise she would have almost slipped down the mountain road several times.

After only ten days, she was already too tired to stand up straight, but the anger and resentment in her heart prevented her from stopping.

As soon as she got haircut, she married Gu Zhennan, the young master of Pingyang Marquis Mansion. The two of them were originally a talented man and a beautiful woman, but there was a flood in Jingnan. On the night of the wedding, Gu Zhennan was called in by his father to deal with the flood.

Jingnan was seriously flooded, and the local area was burdened with excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Under the heavy burden, the people rebelled. Unexpectedly, Gu Zhennan never came back after leaving.

That year, she was just 16 years old. All the masters and young masters in the mansion were dead. The Pingyang Marquis Mansion suddenly fell from the top of the eight aristocratic families. There were seniors and juniors in the family, all relying on her to support them.

It has been 50 or [-] years now. Under her management, Pingyang Marquis Mansion has returned to the top of the eight aristocratic families.Looking back on the past, she felt a little confused, had her whole life passed like this?
But at an age like her, where she was enjoying a comfortable life, her late husband, who should have been rotten to the bone for a long time, actually got news?

Ke Yiqing stood up straight and looked at Taoyuan Village in front of him. Finally, he finished walking this mountain road.

This Taoyuan Village is just like its name. It is a beautiful and quiet place that is rarely disturbed by people. It is early spring. It is full of flowers all over the mountains and fields. There are peach groves planted on the riverside. The peach blossoms are in clusters and are so pink. Like brocade.

A breeze blows, and the delicate flower rain is mixed with the fresh earthy smell. It is really a paradise.

She had been running the Marquis Mansion for many years, and she had imagined many times that when things happened at home, she would be able to find such a secluded place to retire when she grew older.

Ke Yiqing laughed to himself, it was just a fantasy after all.

Yu Jin supported her and crossed a small bridge along the way. There was a beautiful house in front of her.

There are willow trees planted beside the wall of this house, with flower vines climbing on them and hanging from the wall. They are colorful and beautiful.

"Madam, we're here..." Yu Jin supported her and couldn't help but sigh.

arrive?Ke Yiqing came back to her senses. She patted Yu Jin's hand and said, "I've had a hard time along the way. I want to go see him."

In her life, she became a widow at the age of 16. In order to support the prince's family, the girl's cheerfulness was tempered into tenacity and calmness.

She has a clear conscience towards the Gu family, but she wants to know why she has been deceiving them for so long!
The memory of that startling glimpse in her teenage years was still fresh in her mind. Relying on that vague love, she survived countless hard years. Unexpectedly, decades later, the once carefree young man would turn into the despicable person he is today.

Now the door of the house was wide open, and the two of them walked to the door. Inside, there was a tall and strong man watering the vegetable garden. He was dressed in cloth and had black hair on his head. At this age, he could not even see a few gray hairs. . "Grandpa, grandpa, I want to drink sugar water."

"I also want to drink sugar water."

Four or five fat and white children rushed out of the yard and surrounded the man asking for sweets.

The man laughed loudly, brought out the sugar water that had been prepared long ago from the house, poured a bowl for the older one, and then picked up the younger one and fed it himself. The children grinned with joy.

"Oh, what should I do if I eat sweets like this and I won't be able to eat right away? Just pamper me and see what happens if I get spoiled."

At this time, a woman walked out of the room. She pretended to be angry but had a real smile on her face. This woman looked to be the same age as Ke Yiqing, but her face was rosy and shiny, and her head was full of black hair.

A family full of children and grandchildren, in good health, is a rare family happiness in the world.

Looking at the unfamiliar face of this man, Ke Yiqing took a long time to see the familiar look, "Do you recognize it, Yu Jin?"

Yu Jin turned away, unable to bear to look at her expression, "Old madam, it's him."

"The one he is holding is his wife?"

"For someone who has no name or status, he can at best be kept outside in an outer room."

Ke Yiqing was silent for a moment, "Tell me, do they look younger than me?"

Yu Jin couldn't help but wipe her tears, right? Her master had worked hard for the Hou Mansion all his life, what about these two people?But living their happy life as a couple of gods and gods in such a treasured place in this world, what kind of logic is this? This makes no sense at all!
After a moment, the man came out again, cut a peach blossom branch, and gave it to the woman in the courtyard with love on his face.

The woman gave him a light blow and then said seriously: "I received news from my family a few days ago that your man is seriously ill and I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left."

The man held her hand, his face full of grievance, "Why is he the one for me? Doesn't Lady Yun still understand what I mean?"

The woman laughed and cursed, deliberately ignoring him.

"She is dead as long as she is dead. There is no love in the first place. Why is it because she makes my Yun Niang unhappy?"

As he spoke, the man held her in his arms. Sure enough, with these tender words, the woman immediately laughed. The breeze started again. They sat and laughed under the peach blossom tree, surrounded by playful children.

"Old madam, are you okay?" Yu Jin looked at the people around him with worry on his face. On the way back, Ke Yiqing kept his eyes closed, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.

Still no response, she suppressed the panic in her heart and asked again, but there was still no response.

"Old lady? Old lady?"

After several shakes, her body softened. Yujin's trembling hands went to check her breathing, which was cold...

People are dead.

It was windy and rainy last night, and the yard was full of broken branches and leaves. Ke Yiqing opened the window and stared in a daze, and a cool breeze mixed with moisture blew in.

"Madam, madam!" A young and lively voice came from outside the house, and Yujin rushed in without a care, holding a few leaves on his head, still wet.

Seeing such a bright and lively jade brocade, it took Ke Yiqing a while to come to her senses. Yes, she was reborn. It is now the 26th year of Tianjian, and she has been reborn into the third year since she just married into the Hou Mansion.
