SFMLTEM - Chapter 2 - Past Events

 As the three of them grew older, Wen Qingwan became increasingly comfortable being left alone.

She became more cautious in front of the Wen family, just like a lady from a noble family who was always measured with a ruler.

When she was ten years old, Wen Mingzhu asked her father and two biological brothers to search for good things for her.

Everyday, carefully moisturizing her skin and nourishing her body to be fragrant and soft.

At a young age, she is well aware of men's thoughts and can always accurately judge men's preferences. (Runa: Wow Mingzhu is a natural *beep* XD)

In the entire capital, almost all the children of aristocratic families who had seen Wen Mingzhu were fascinated by her, and even the princes liked her.

Whether it is a young talent who has a fiancรฉe or not, they all have thought about marrying her home.

The old lady of Wen’s family is very satisfied with this and often says that her granddaughter is born on the tip of a man’s heart. (Runa: You mean born a *beep* lol)

The Madam of the Wen family was also very satisfied. She raised this excellent daughter and was her pride.

When attending the banquet, Madam Wen always held Wen Mingzhu's hand intimately, as if Wen Mingzhu was her biological daughter.

The Crown prince likes Wen Mingzhu very much, but the daughter of a fifth-rank official can only be an Imperial concubine.

Moreover, Wen Mingzhu has not come of age yet and the Crown prince is in his twenties. The Emperor took charge to help him choose his Crown Princess.

But he begged his mother to grant Wen Mingzhu to become his Second Imperial Concubine, otherwise he would not marry the chosen Crown Princess.

The Crown Prince had a tough attitude for the first time, and the Empress had no choice but to promise to leave Wen Mingzhu the Second Imperial concubine.

The day Wen Mingzhu had her coming of age hairpin ceremony, the Empress issued a decree.

Today in her previous life, Wen Mingzhu ran away from the marriage. When she ran away, she declared shamelessly that she would not be a concubine and that she wanted to be with a person who'll be a pair with her for a lifetime.

Among the powerful people in the vast land, no man has only married one wife.

Only those men who are too poor to support a family marry one wife, and there are even men who have no money and cannot afford to marry.

After Wen Mingzhu escaped from marriage, The Wen patriarch forced his eldest daughter Wen Qingwan to marry for the sake of hundreds of people in the Wen family.

When the Emperor and the Empress saw that the Wen family's legitimate daughter is replacing the bride, they turned a blind eye and agreed.

But the Crown Prince hated Wen Qingwan from then on, vowing to never favor her.

In order to humiliate Wen Qingwan, on the day she married her, she also took ten beauties who looked a bit like Wen Mingzhu.

The Crown Prince dared not resist his father and mother, but he could embarrass Wen Qingwan and make her a joke in the Capital.

Wen Qingwan was repeatedly framed by Wen Mingzhu since she was a child, and was abandoned by her family again and again, and she developed a heart of steel.

She restrained herself and respected her elders, even if the prince treats her coldly.

She also cared about the Crown Prince and personally attending to every detail. Yet the Crown Prince Zhao Jue seemed passionate but was cold-hearted by nature.

The Crown Prince only dared not disobey his father and mother.

Even though he was born noble, he lost the courage to go against his father and mother as he grew up.

People who have been so oppressed for a long time must be very distorted inside, and the Crown prince has been pampered since childhood, so his heart is more fragile than glass.

Wen Qingwan's growth process was very sad and twisted. Her father didn't love her, her mother is indifferent and her brothers disliked her, so she trained her heart to be invulnerable to hurt.

She knew her position clearly, and if she took a wrong step in the Eastern Palace, she would fall into the abyss.

There is no reliable big tree behind her, and even Jinlan and Jinque were successively fell in the Eastern Palace in order to protect her.

Wen Qingwan could only quietly shed a few tears for them every night.

Since childhood she has had no desires, and no one can hurt her. The Crown Prince doesn’t like her, but in the end he can’t live without her.

Relying on her strong heart that she has developed since childhood, Wen Qingwan outlasted the Crown Princess and was named Empress when the Crown Prince ascended the throne.

In her previous life, Wen Mingzhu didn't run far when she ran away and learned that about the marriage substitution and the Wen family escaped from offending the Imperial family.

She returned home and married the heir she is dreaming about in a grand manner. Shortly after getting married, she said that the heir was a mama's boy.  

Not only did he let the old lady and his cousin bully her, he also did not abide to his promise and married his cousin as a concubine.

Wen Mingzhu has the support of the Crown prince and her father and brothers, and she can easily get married and divorce without any grievance.

After the separation, she remarried the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the refined young man was a pervert.

Wen Mingzhu then married a young general and then divorced again, saying that the young general was promiscuous and plays with, both men and women.

Wen Mingzhu, who has married five times in five years, finally sets her sights on the reclusive heir of a fallen Marquis who is not close to any women.

She found out that the fallen Marquis' Mansion was in a brink of starvation, and the heir is a cripple person, and Wen Mingzhu had a generous dowry.

Thinking that she could finally be so prestigious in the Marquis’ Mansion and will be worshipped by everyone there.

But before she started to enjoy her life, she was killed by domestic violence and died with her eyes open.

How did Wen Qingwan know so much?

Because Wen Mingzhu wants to get a divorce, she will first cry to the Crown prince for help.

The Crown prince was willing to help her get divorced. Seeing that she was unhappy only made him happier.

Later, the Crown Prince became the Emperor, and Wen Mingzhu also wanted to enter the palace, but the Emperor no longer liked her.

Wen Mingzhu is lively and cheerful, and the Emperor will find a noble woman who is more lively and cheerful than her.

All her strengths are easily surpassed by others.

Wen Mingzhu didn't understand that. She thought that the Crown prince had deep feelings for her, that is why he would help her get divorced again and again.

Reborn today, Wen Mingzhu decided not to escape marriage, and she was willing to be the Crown Prince's Imperial Concubine.

Wen Mingzhu wants to be the Empress, but Wen Qingwan thinks it is unlikely to happen!

In her past life, without her careful planning , let alone the position of the Empress, even the Crown Prince's throne would only be a fleeting dream.

Thinking about the past, Wen Qingwan didn't know when she fell asleep.

The next morning.

The sky is like a huge oil painting, with a faint blue and quietly lit pink intertwined, heralding the beginning of a new day.

No matter how late she slept, Wen Qingwan habitually woke up early.

She was about to freshen up to pay her respects  to the old lady, but she heard Jinlan's voice.

"Miss, please sleep some more. Aunt Lan, who is always beside the old lady, just came to pass the message, saying that the old lady had excused the young miss in today's morning greeting."

"En, since my grandmother has excused me to the morning greeting, then you go to the kitchen to bring breakfast to the courtyard and the three of us will have breakfast together."

"I'll send Jinque to bring breakfast, and I'll assist the young miss with her grooming." Jinlan's voice is gentle as always.

After Wen Qingwan finished washing, she took Jinlan out of the room and came to the courtyard, then Jinque walked in with breakfast.

She put down the tray and pouted, "Miss, the old madam, the master, the madam and the young masters were discussing matters until early morning in the hall."

"Let's have a meal." Wen Qingwan didn't want to say more.

She knows Wen Mingzhu so well that she must have chosen the worst man among her many ex-husbands to give her.

I don’t know what kind of man it is, that made her father unsure and needs to call everyone to discuss it together.

Wen Qingwan was eating delicious breakfast with relish. Even if she lived her life again, she still had a strong desire to eat happily.

After breakfast, Wen Qingwan sat on the swing in the yard and swayed slowly. She had not sat on the swing for many years.

"Miss, Miss, it's not good. Cheng'en Marquis Mansion has sent a matchmaker to propose marriage!"

Jinque rushed in and shouted loudly, even Wen Qingwan, who was usually so calm, almost fell off the swing.
