Chapter 460 Protecting the Best Sister 2
Chapter 460 Protecting the Best Sister 2
The original body thought that Zhang Rulan would definitely die in some dirty place, but unexpectedly, seven years later, the two sisters met again.
At that time, the Great Xia Dynasty had entered its final years, the country was in turmoil, and uprisings broke out frequently in various places.
Among them, there was an uprising army called the Yellow Eyebrow Army. As soon as it appeared, it was unstoppable and quickly captured three cities of the Great Xia Dynasty with an unstoppable momentum. It successfully established a foothold in this chaotic world and quickly spread to other areas with the momentum of a prairie fire.
The dynasty was on the verge of collapse, and facing foreign enemies, the ministers were still keen on party struggles and had no intention of uniting and focusing on external affairs.
The result is predictable: the Great Xia Dynasty was destroyed, the imperial palace was occupied by the rebels, and the imperial city was engulfed in flames.
The original body fled with her husband's family and was captured by rebels on the way.
There, she saw Zhang Rulan, whose face was covered with scars.
At that time, Zhang Rulan was no longer the prostitute who was trampled upon by others, but the military advisor of the rebel Huangmei Army that invaded the imperial city.
When the sisters meet again, everything has changed.
The original body knelt in front of Zhang Rulan and cried as he recounted the past.
She said she was pregnant at the time but didn't know it. When she heard that Zhang Rulan had an accident, she became so angry that she fainted and almost had a miscarriage.
As soon as she was able to get up, she hurried to look for Zhang Rulan, but Zhang Rulan was nowhere to be found.
Zhang Rulan, who had experienced many ups and downs, naturally would not believe the words of her original body again.
However, the original body is Zhang Rulan's only relative in this world, so her position in Zhang Rulan's heart is naturally different.
In the end, Zhang Rulan finally accepted the original body's statement which was full of loopholes.
The Huangmei Army occupied the imperial palace, and their leader Huang Tiancheng ascended the throne as emperor, establishing a prosperous country.
As a military advisor, Zhang Rulan was granted the title of Duke of Zhenguo.
The frightened original body relied on his sister Zhang Rulan and lived a good life again.
When the new dynasty was just established, the old ministers of the previous dynasty submitted on the surface, but in their hearts they looked down on Huang Tiancheng for his background as a local rich man and wanted to control the new emperor.
Huang Tiancheng is a good commander in battle, but he cannot understand the twists and turns in the court.
Fortunately, Zhang Rulan intervened for him and prevented the ministers from succeeding.
Because of this, Zhang Rulan became a thorn in the eyes of those people.
Someone found out about Zhang Rulan's past and made a big fuss about it in the court and among the people, demanding that Huang Tiancheng strip Zhang Rulan of her title of Duke of Zhenguo and take her into the harem.
Although Huang Tiancheng is a big and strong man, he is deeply in love with Zhang Rulan.
The reason why Zhang Rulan was named Duke of Zhenguo was because she was unwilling to be the queen and had to settle for the second best.
Faced with the pressure from the ministers, Huang Tiancheng's response was to raise the butcher knife and kill all those old ministers who were coercing and refusing.
Seeing that the emperor's plan was blocked, the ministers went to find the original body.
The original person was selfish and used all his intelligence on his sister Zhang Rulan, but he was essentially a stupid and ignorant person.
Those people told the original body that Zhang Rulan had injured her body in her early years and had lost her fertility.
The original body was Zhang Rulan's only sister, and her son was Zhang Rulan's only nephew.
Being the nephew of the Duke of Zhenguo and being the nephew of the Queen are completely different concepts.
As long as it is handled properly, with Huang Tiancheng's deep affection for Zheng Rulan, perhaps Yuansheng can give his child a prince.
A clever man's full schemes cannot match a fool's sudden inspiration.
Just like that, a cup of wine mixed with poison was delivered to Zhang Rulan by the original body.
Until Zhang Rulan drank the poisoned wine, the original body thought that the wine contained an aphrodisiac and she was helping Zhang Rulan and Huang Tiancheng to be together.
Zhang Rulan died, and the heartbroken Huang Tiancheng naturally would not let the original body go.
In front of Zhang Rulan's spirit, Huang Tiancheng personally took a knife and chopped off the original body's head.
After receiving the memory, Zhang Ruxuan, oh, now called Li Mingzhu, jumped up from the chair and walked out quickly.
On the way, she met Wu Liang who was rushing over. Before she could say anything, Li Mingzhu called out to her, "Is there something wrong with your sister? Tell me as we walk!"
Wu Liang nodded vigorously, his voice tearing up as he spoke, "Today, the girl was reading peacefully in her room, but a group of people came in and said...that the girl seduced her husband. Not only did they beat her up, they also demanded that she pay five thousand taels of silver..."
Wuliang was a maid bought by Zhang Rulan with five taels of silver, and she has always been loyal to Zhang Rulan.
Li Mingzhu nodded, walked past the yard, picked up a stick in the corner, and hurried out of the small door.
"Xiu'er, go to the stable and bring Wuliang over in a carriage. I'm leaving first!"
After giving the order, without waiting for the two to reply, Li Mingzhu lifted her skirt and tucked it into her belt, then ran forward with the stick in her hand.
"lady!"
Seeing Li Mingzhu running away, Xiu'er stamped her feet anxiously, grabbed Wuliang's hand and ran towards the stable.
"Little bitch, it seems you won't cry until you see the coffin!"
Madam Zhou rolled up her sleeves, rushed over and slapped Zhang Rulan in the face.
Zhang Rulan was knocked to the ground, her beautiful face immediately became red and swollen, the box in her hand fell, and a few pieces of silver fell out.
She forced herself to stand up and pleaded with tears in her eyes: "My wife, this is all I have, please..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Madam Zhou.
She said viciously, "How could you, a whore who has been fucked by thousands of men and slept with so many men, only have this much money? I think you are just kidding me!"
Madam Zhou came in with a threatening attitude and went looking for Yulan as soon as she entered.
The girls in Zuichunlou all have flower names, and Zhang Rulan's flower name is Yulan.
As soon as Zhang Rulan appeared, she was slapped to the ground by the other party.
After much persuasion, the other party proposed to let Zhang Rulan go as long as she gave her five thousand taels of silver.
Five thousand taels was a huge sum of money. Zhang Rulan gave all the money she saved to her sister, and the remaining gold and silver jewelry added up to less than one hundred taels.
She gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice: "Madam, I am old and have not received any customers for a long time. Is there any misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" Madam Zhou grabbed Zhang Rulan's hair. "Ever since my husband saw you at Qingshan Temple, he's been absent-minded, holding a tattered handkerchief every day. You must have used your seductive tricks to confuse him. You damned thing!"
Qingshan Temple?
Zhang Rulan was confused.
She thought that some guest who had come to the building and ordered her was discovered by his wife at home, so he came to the door. How could she know about Qingshan Temple?
"I...I have never been to Qingshan Temple..." Zhang Rulan tried to explain, but was interrupted by Madam Zhou.
"You little bitch, you still dare to quibble?" Madam Zhou was furious and slapped Zhang Rulan again. "My husband said it himself. On the fifth day of last month, he went to Qingshan Temple for an outing. And he ran into you, a vixen!"
"No..." Zhang Rulan struggled to get up. "On the fifth day of last month, I was resting in the building because I was not feeling well. I didn't go to Qingshan Temple. The sisters in the building can all testify for me!"
