Chapter 1

Jianyuan 35 years, winter.

The clouds in the sky sank crows, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.It was so cold that I opened my mouth and breathed out, and it seemed that it could freeze into ice.Yujun was woken up by the cold, and at the moment she only felt that it was very cold. The chill seemed to penetrate into her bones, and she couldn't get rid of it even if she pulled her down.She couldn't help but shivered, and called out "Dongmei" in a daze, but no one answered for a long while.She struggled to open her eyes, the small room could see the window at a glance, it was so wide open, and the cold wind was blowing in, she couldn't blame her for being so cold that she felt that the wind was filling her bones.

The body was covered with a thin layer of winter quilt, which could not keep warm at all.This cold, the whole person feels hungry panicked.

After being ill for a long time, my mind seems to be filled with paste, and I feel dizzy, and I don't know the time.

When the cold wind blew, she was suddenly sober, but then she could only laugh at herself, raised her voice and called out, "Dongmei, Dongmei..."

Nothing happened.

Yujun struggled to sit up, but she lost strength and fell back down.Both legs were completely weak, as if she had lost her vitality. She had already forgotten what it felt like to stand up, and even how exhilarating it was to walk freely.

A year ago, she had an occasional cold, but the illness was overwhelming, and it got worse day by day, until one day, when she opened her eyes, she found that her feet were useless. Since that day, she has never been able to go to the ground.

Yujun raised her eyes and looked out of the window. Kazuki plum blossoms were in full bloom, dazzling red.There were two maidservants standing under the tree, one of them saw her, and hurriedly pulled the person beside her, the person turned back to look at her, frowned in frustration, and said impatiently: "Why is the third grandma not the third grandma? You didn't Listen to what our third master said, she is an unlucky woman! I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes, so I came to serve such a unlucky ghost!"

"Don't say that," another servant girl lowered her voice, "Sister Dongmei, no matter how bad Third Mistress is, she's still a master!"

"What a bad master!" Dongmei raised her voice and said: "Xia Xue, you don't know her details! In the past, our third young master was romantic, she was very reasonable and treated us well, and I felt pity for her. I think our third master is sorry for her. Now I know that she is not a decent girl at all, but an oiran girl from a brothel!"

"You can't confuse what you said!" Xia Xue tugged at her sleeve, and said in a low voice, "The third grandma is clearly the daughter of the mighty general's family, how could she be the oiran!"

"It's spread all over the capital! How could there be a mistake!" Dongmei scorned her lips in disdain, "Go out and ask, and see who doesn't know about it! A message was sent from the Mighty General's mansion, saying that this is the case. The origin of the third grandmother is unknown, and her identity is unclear. She used to fake her identity and took the mighty general as her father. Look at her, she has become a good-for-nothing, and I don’t know if it’s because she lied too much and suffered retribution."

As soon as Xia Xue turned her head, she saw Yujun's face was as pale as paper, and she was stunned in place.This third grandmother, who used to be like a flower, suddenly became seriously ill a year ago and lost her legs. Since then, she has been depressed day by day.

Some time ago the doctor said that she would not last long, and now there are such rumors...

Xia Xue couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "The master's affairs are not for us to arrange. The third master seemed to call you just now, why don't you go and have a look?"

Dongmei let out a bluff, and hurried back out of the yard.Xia Xue froze for a moment, but finally walked to the front of the house and closed the door and window for Yujun.Just when the door was closed, I heard the master who hadn't spoken for many days laughing softly. There was a sense of coolness and sadness in the laughter. Coupled with the freezing weather, it made people suffer and live a bad life. .

"Unknown origin, unknown identity? Hehehehe..." Yujun repeated these words in a low voice, and a sense of sadness rushed from the bottom of her heart.In the end, nothing but numbness remained.

I can't complain that even the servant girl doesn't care about her now. It turns out that there are such rumors in the general's mansion...

No matter how arrogant these slaves were in the past, they always thought that she was the daughter of a mighty general, and they would always sell her a little bit.But a month ago, her father died of a serious illness, and her life was getting worse day by day.

Father……

Yujun's heart sank, and there was a sense of sadness for no reason: they didn't let her know about her father's death until half a month later.Her aunt, her younger sister, and her husband all forgot to tell her.She couldn't serve her father during his lifetime, and after his death, she was stigmatized again.

In one year, her life has undergone such earth-shaking changes.

Her legs were crippled, her father died, and she was stigmatized as a prostitute in a brothel, locked up in this small backyard...

Now, they charged her with another crime - "unknown origin, unknown identity"?
Does this completely negate her as a person?
That being the case, why did Li Shanjun not let her go, and let her sit in the position of the head of the house, and endure the humiliation of her servants?

Yujun coughed violently, finally stopped coughing, and then slowly lay back on the bed.

Her body had been weak for too long, and she fell asleep when she closed her eyes. She didn't know how long it had been, and Dongmei Xiaxue suddenly remembered Dongmei Xiaxue's loud "Congratulations to Grandma". A familiar voice sounded by the side, and the visitor answered delicately: "Please take care of my sister, I haven't seen my sister for a long time, I want to say a few words, please step back first."

Yujun closed her eyes and let out a long sigh: Gentiana Qin has always been more likable than her.Even when dealing with servants, she has a kind mask.It was so before, and it is still so now.

This morning, the sound of silk and bamboo has been vaguely heard in her ears. A few days ago, her husband Li Shanjun showed off to her, and today is a good day for him to take a concubine.

Her husband is a concubine.It was her cousin, Gentiana Qin, who was accepted.

Yujun smiled, she was expected to come, but she didn't expect to come so early.

The door squeaked, and she could smell the familiar scent of Gentiana Qin even with her eyes closed.The scent was getting closer, the visitor stared at her for a while, and said with a sneer: "Today is a great day for Sanlang and I to get married, sister won't get up and congratulate me, what are you doing here pretending to sleep!"

Yujun slowly opened her eyes, and saw that Qin Gentiana was wearing a fiery red wedding dress, the phoenix coronet and the xiapei had not been taken off, and her face was extraordinarily festive.
