People in the countryside didn’t know that the succession of titles was in decreasing order. In their view, Huo Lindong’s grandfather was a Duke, so he should inherit this position in the future.
However, even if they knew that when the title reached Huo Lindong’s generation, it would become a Marquis of the third rank, they would still be envious.
Who let them grow so big and the biggest official they had ever seen was the eight-rank County Magistrate that appeared yesterday?
Now in the hearts of the villagers, Jiang Wu is the representative of a sparrow that flies on a branch and turns into a phoenix. How many people used to look down on her, but now how many people are jealous of her?
When Xu Baozhu heard the news, she couldn’t tell what she was thinking. She was a little jealous, a little resentful, and a little scared.
She took away Jiang Wu’s original marriage, and the next moment, the other party became the future Duke’s wife. Is it true that luck cannot be taken away?
As much as she was robbed, God would return it to her. So as the person who robbed Jiang Wu’s luck, would she be punished?
Xu Baozhu felt that everything should not be like this. She is a time-traveling woman, so she is the most special existence.
She could only comfort herself. So, what if Huo Lindong was the future Duke? There were so many children of princes and princesses in the past dynasties, but not many of them were as famous as Lin Pingchun.
In the future, when Lin Pingchun passes the imperial examination and writes highly praised poems, even if Huo Lindong inherits the title, he will not be able to compare with him.
But even though Xu Baozhu comforted herself like this, she felt a little unwilling in her heart.
If she had known Huo Lindong’s status, she should have made friends with him from the beginning.
It was not that she wanted to have a spare tire like the green tea bitch time travel girl in some movies, but that status would also be a great help to her career. If the other person could become a close friend with her, it would also be a good thing for her.
It was a pity that it was useless to think about it anymore. Huo Lindong had left with Jiang Wu and others. Now Xu Baozhu could only catch Lin Pingchun. She wouldn’t allow any more accidents to happen to him.
Therefore, when her eldest brother and the second brother proposed to terminate the engagement with the Lin family, Xu Baozhu flatly refused. If she could not marry Lin Pingchun, what was the meaning of her previous small actions? What was the purpose of God letting her time travel?
Because of Xu Baozhu’s rejection, the atmosphere in the Xu family was somewhat stalemate. Bai Xiaohua and others were worried that the Lin family would be retaliated against, and they were also worried that Xu Baozhu, their sister, would drag down their family. They already had the idea of splitting the family.
***
With such a huge momentum, Lin Pingchun, who was studying at Yunshan Academy, also knew Huo Lindong’s true identity.
Those classmates who had targeted him before went out of their way to publicize the ‘origin’ between him and Huo Lindong in the school.
At this time, all the masters and students in the academy knew that his former mentor was the father-in-law of the Duke’s grandson, and the fiancée whom he once despised was the wife recognized by the future Duke.
People in the world seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Lin Pingchun could feel the alienation of people around him, including the master who admired him very much at the beginning.
He was also afraid that Huo Lindong was petty and would use some interpersonal means to suppress Lin Pingchun, or even anger those who were close to him, so he became increasingly cold toward him.
Lin Pingchun’s situation had become even more difficult. Without his dedicated teacher, he lived in a cold and violent environment day after day, and his learning efficiency was greatly reduced.
In the next following exams, his rankings continued to fall behind. He soon fell out of Class B and returned to Class C.
These were things that Jiang Wu and others didn’t know.
For Jiang Wu, Lin Pingchun and others were just strangers who appeared strangely in her mind. She had no intention of living according to the trajectory in her memory, nor did she intend to interfere in their lives.
For her, the world outside Ping Village was very unfamiliar. She just wanted to appreciate new things and live her life seriously.
