Chapter 1 Rebirth
Pain, burning pain.

Yun Jiaojiao's consciousness gradually returned and she slowly opened her eyes.

She found herself in an antique courtyard, lying on a bed with carved hollows. Her body was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to lift a hand.

Yun Jiaojiao thought about going out on a mission to rescue a group of international friends, and finally died when the plane exploded.

An impossible guess appeared before his eyes.

Have you traveled through time and been reborn?
Yun Jiaojiao felt her head swell and hurt, and a large number of memories poured into Yun Jiaojiao's mind in an instant.

A quarter of an hour later, she gradually sorted out her memory and understood the identity of the original owner.

The original owner was the only eldest daughter of the Yun family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. In order to get married to the Duke of Guo's Palace, the original owner's father prepared most of the property and married the original owner to Ye Changxiao, the young prince of the Duke of Guo's Palace.

But when Ye Changxiao was newly married, he took off his hijab and left, leaving behind a sentence.

"It was not my intention to marry you. We each have our own lives."

At first, the original owner wanted to melt Ye Changxiao with his tenderness and true feelings, so he sent desserts and snacks to Ye Changxiao every day.

Unexpectedly, Ye Changxiao ignored him at all.

Over the years, the original owner, as the head matron of the Duke's Palace, worked hard for the Duke's Palace, and finally raised her adopted son and died on the hospital bed 20 years later.

Who would have known that the Duke of Guo's Mansion planned to put the original owner to death in order to straighten up Ye Changxiao's concubine Bai Xiaolian, so that his adopted son could legitimately inherit the position of the Duke of Guo's Mansion.

The original owner was angered to death in the previous life and passed away.

I traveled back in time to the first year when the original owner entered the house. At that time, the original owner had just taken over the housekeeping rights for a month. Because he was a housekeeper for the first time, he was not familiar with the process and made himself sick.

After getting familiar with the memory, Yun Jiaojiao lay quietly on the bed. Xiaohui brought Yun Jiaojiao a bowl of medicine and asked Yun Jiaojiao to drink it.

"The Duke has arrived." At this moment, a maid wearing a bun and a pink coarse cloth came over and reported to Yun Qingcheng.

"Miss, the Duke is here, you should dress up properly." Seeing that Yun Jiaojiao didn't respond, Xiao Cui reminded her anxiously.

She looked as if she was worried about Yun Jiaojiao.

Yun Jiaojiao ignored her and just watched quietly.

How much the original owner paid for the Duke's Mansion in his previous life, this scumbag only remembers Bai Xiaolian's sacrifice for him, which resulted in the death of the original owner's wife.

If you don't like it, why should you marry the original owner?

Since you like Bai Xiaolian, why don't you tell the original owner frankly.

What a scumbag.

There is no need to pay attention to it yourself.Under the incomprehensible looks of Xiaocui and Xiaohui, Yun Jiaojiao warned.

"Your uncle has someone outside. Even if he doesn't like me, I don't need to be warm to him. When we see him in the future, we will treat him as a familiar stranger and ignore him."

"But..." Xiaocui wanted to talk.

Isn’t it common for men to have three wives and four concubines?
"Miss, why don't you take the initiative to bring that aunt back, and then coax my uncle well, so that you can give birth to an eldest son. You can also stabilize your position in the Duke's palace."

Yun Jiaojiao felt a twinge of pain as she listened to Xiaocui's speech.

This is the case for women in this era. Men can have three wives and four concubines, but women can only regard their husbands as their top priority.

"What if that woman is seeking the position of the main wife, and Ye Changxiao did not take her into the house just to help her straighten up?"

When Xiao Cui heard this, she said angrily: "That's unreasonable. Our Yun family is nothing in their Duke's Mansion. Without us, the Yun Family, the Duke's Mansion would have been in ruins long ago." Xiao Cui was not angry for no reason. The marriage between the family and the government was originally a transaction.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants were in the lower class, and Guogongfu was considered the highest class. In order to break away from their business status, Guogongfu could not make ends meet for the Yun family's money, so they got married this time.

Yun Jiaojiao naturally understood that their interests were entangled, and it was because of this that she had a headache. Her reconciliation would not go so smoothly.

Yun Jiaojiao was filled with melancholy, and while she was closing her eyes in deep thought, a man walked in wearing a moon-white robe, a palace ribbon hanging on his body, and black boots.

The man's eyebrows were picturesque, his sharp face was cold, there was no warmth in his eyes, and there was no emotion on Yun Jiaojiao's face.

This is Ye Changxiao.

Yun Jiaojiao looked at it secretly.

Ye Changxiao was already good-looking, but he couldn't match the indescribable dignity and elegance of this dress.

"What's the matter, Mr. Guo?" Seeing that Ye Changxiao didn't speak, Yun Jiaojiao was the first to speak.

"Mother said you were sick and I came to see you."

Ye Changxiao's voice was cold, as if he was looking at a stranger.

"It doesn't matter, I'm just tired of being a housekeeper. Why don't I give my housekeeping rights back to my mother-in-law."

After Yun Jiaojiao finished speaking, Xiaocui handed the butler's token to Ye Changxiao with a wink.

Ye Changxiao naturally refused to accept it.

The Duke's Mansion has begun to decline. Since Yun Jiaojiao became the housekeeper, Yun Jiaojiao subsidized all her dowry for the Duke's Mansion, which broadened her life a lot.

If the housekeeping rights were taken back, the lives of myself and my mother would become difficult.

Yun Jiaojiao naturally understood Ye Changxiao's little thoughts.

There was no way he could be so stupid and continue to use dowry to supplement the government's government.

"You can keep it for yourself. You are already my wife. As the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, you have the right to manage the Duke's Mansion. Your mother is so old and will be tired by the time. You don't want to be responsible for an unfilial wife. It's a crime."

Although she said this with a smile, Yun Jiaojiao felt the threat in her tone.

Forget it, since I can't hand over the stewardship, I won't make it easy for them.

"Is there anything else, Duke?" Seeing that Ye Changxiao never left, Yun Jiaojiao began to answer.

"I have a comrade-in-arms who is my subordinate. He went to the battlefield this time and did not come back. He has a pair of children on his knees. I want to adopt them into your name."

Yun Jiaojiao sneered in her heart, what was supposed to come had come, it was to adopt her wife's wife into her own name.

"Does your husband think I can't have a child?"

Yun Jiaojiao looked at Ye Changxiao coldly and started to cry in grievance.

"Over the years, I have worked hard for the entire Duke's mansion. Is there anything in the mansion that I haven't personally done?"

"The Duke went to the border to defend the country because of the imperial edict. I didn't complain a word. The Duke gave me the power of running the house. I had to deal with unruly slaves every day. I didn't complain once. I took care of my mother-in-law who was undressed. I didn't complain a word. .”

"But this time, you made me sad."

"As a legitimate mother, my child was born to the real wife. Now you dislike me for being unable to give birth to a child and are unwilling to consummate the marriage with me. Is this my problem or yours?"
