FSC [QT] Chapter 103.2

Ah Wu was very unhappy because Ling Zhuo said that all the people in the Yu family were dead, which was too unpleasant to hear.

She was even more unhappy because after meeting Ling Zhuo, a bunch of inexplicable memories suddenly emerged in her mind. In this memory, her brother only existed in her memory because he died of a cold when ‘Yu Wu’ was one year old.

In this memory, ‘Yu Wu’ was taken away by a usurer when she was three years old. Because she was very beautiful at a young age, she was soon noticed by a trafficker, who spent eighty taels of silver to buy her.

After changing hands several times, she was finally bought by a brothel madam for a high price of three hundred and fifty taels of silver. The brothel madam was determined to train her, teaching her how to seduce men since she was a child, nourishing her body with the best medicinal herbs, and training her into a beauty that would make men ecstatic.

Most of those medicinal herbs were destructive. While making ‘Yu Wu’ white as jade and soft, they greatly destroyed her vitality, not only shortening her life, but also making her lose her fertility.

Perhaps because she had been sold several times, when the Marquis’s Mansion found her this time, ‘Yu Wu’ was already fourteen years old. A few days later, she would have lost her virginity.

Ling Yaodong and Mrs. Fan made a great determination to bring back their daughter who had lived in a brothel. Because they knew that once the news spread that the real daughter of the Marquis’s mansion was a prostitute in a brothel, it would be a sensational scandal.

Even if ‘Yu Wu’ was not a real prostitute at that time, she had lived in a brothel for nearly ten years and had experienced all the love affairs. To the outside world, she was no longer innocent.

Ling Yaodong and Mrs. Fan changed her identity for her and took her to their side. They wanted to compensate their daughter.

But ‘Yu Wu’ at that time was no longer a simple and kind girl. On the contrary, she had seen countless darkness in the brothel and experienced countless painful punishments. She had been stained black from the inside out.

When she learned that she was the real daughter of the Marquis’s mansion, but she had to experience all the tragic experiences that she should not have endured, the wealth and glory that she should have enjoyed was snatched away by a thief on the day she was born, and she also watched Ling Zhuo accept everyone’s praise generously, so even with the compensation from Mrs. Fan and Ling Yaodong, ‘Yu Wu’ did not feel satisfied.

The fourteen-year-old Ling Zhuo had gradually lost her childhood arrogance and willfulness. Facing the step-by-step pressure from ‘Yu Wu’, she seemed generous and calm, like a sister, forgiving every attack from ‘Yu Wu’.

At that time, Ling Zhuo and the Third Prince had a secret love affair. Then, ‘Yu Wu’ used the methods she learned in the brothel to seduce the Third Prince and successfully obtained the Emperor’s arranged marriage.

Perhaps the Emperor was also afraid of the union between the Third Prince and the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion, so Emperor Qian arranged for Ling Zhuo to marry the Fifth Prince of the right age.

Because the Fifth Prince was the adopted son of the Noble Concubine, in the Emperor’s view, the Fifth Prince was from the Noble Concubine’s faction.

In this way, the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion would hesitate between the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince born to the Noble Concubine.

According to the personality of the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion, he was most likely to remain neutral.

At that time, it was a rare time for ‘Yu Wu’ to be happy because the Third Prince had great power in the court, while the Fifth Prince was an existence despised by Emperor Qian.

In ‘Yu Wu’s’ view, she finally defeated the thief praised by everyone.

But this happiness did not last long. ‘Yu Wu’s’ life experience was dug up by the Third Prince’s political enemies.

The future Third Prince’s wife was once committed to a brothel. What a huge scandal!

Not only did the Third Prince lose face, but the royal family was also ridiculed by the outside world.

The Marquis of Changping was demoted, and the marriage between ‘Yu Wu’ and the Third Prince was canceled.

Ling Zhuo escaped by luck because no one cared what kind of woman the Fifth Prince married.

No one had ever thought that the Fifth Prince, who was usually low-key, would have the last laugh in the fight among the princes. As the Fifth Prince’s wife, Ling Zhuo naturally became the empress.

Perhaps out of gratitude for Ling Zhuo’s perseverance when he was mediocre, even though later in order to balance the forces of all parties, Li Chenghe still took in many concubines, but Empress Ling Zhuo was always Li Chenghe’s most beloved wife.

At Ling Zhuo’s plea, the title of Marquis of Changping was returned. At that time, ‘Yu Wu’ could only look at Ling Zhuo’s superior appearance.

No matter how Ling Yaodong and Mrs. Fan made up for it, she still died of depression at the best age.

This was the life belonging to ‘Yu Wu’ that suddenly appeared in Ah Wu’s mind.

In this memory, ‘Yu Wu’ was so hostile to the young girl in front of her that it even affected Ah Wu’s mood, causing her to feel resentment and hatred toward Ling Zhuo.

But Ah Wu soon came to her senses.

Because she knew that this emotion and memory did not belong to her.

Because in this memory, there was no brother, but she did have a brother.

No matter how much dissatisfaction and resentment there was, one brother was enough to heal all the pain.

That ‘Yu Wu’ was pitiful. Because when she was the most miserable and painful, there was no such person who appeared in time to prevent the tragedy from happening to her.

Thinking of this, Ah Wu couldn’t help but look at the person in front of her again.
