Chapter IBMLS Ch.13 Return to the Owner (4)

Jiang Mingwei was humiliated again and again until she could no longer bear it, but due to the power of the princess’s family, Ye Luyan refused to punish her. He told Jiang Mingwei to be patient until he ascended the throne, so she did.

However, by then, Jiang Mingwei had aged, and her beauty was worn away. As a concubine of Han nationality, the difficulties she would face after she lost favor were self-evident. It was when she was at her lowest point that she heard the Ye Empire had welcomed a new emperor, and the empress was the young miss of Grand Chancellor Jiang’s family.

The young miss of Grand Chancellor Jiang’s family? Impossible. She, the only child of the Jiang family, was in Beirong. How could there be another young miss of the Jiang family?

It turned out that her parents had adopted a new daughter named Jiang Mingtang. Now, she was the empress of the Ye Empire.

Before she died, Jiang Mingwei heard that the Ye Empire was sharpening its swords. Xie Xuanji, the new emperor, wanted to move his troops to the north to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. However, he had no outstanding generals under his command, so his plans were placed on hold.

According to the rumors, Xie Xuanji had been thinking about his childhood sweetheart, his first love, all these years. Even his empress greatly resembled her.

The relations.h.i.+p between Beirong and the Ye Empire grew tense as time pa.s.sed by. Jiang Mingwei, who was of Han nationality, was secretly dealt with on a dark and windy night.

During her last moments, she experienced a series of flashbacks. The events of the Ye Empire played out before her eyes, revealing to her that everything in her life had been following the plot of a book. Xie Xuanji was the main character who gradually rose from being the son of a small official to an imperial prince, and then finally, the emperor.

The first half of the book detailed his ascent, while the second half covered his plans to strengthen the military and unite the lands under one empire. His harem was an indispensable part of the book. In it, there were all sorts of women, including the pure first love types, the seductive tempresses, the childhood sweethearts, the exotic princesses, the vicious beauties, and the cold beauties.

Jiang Mingwei was one of the first loves. She’d died early on and was dearly missed by Xie Xuanji throughout his life. When Jiang Mingwei saw this part, she realized that she had been declared to be dead after she eloped with Ye Luyan. After all, there had been no news of her since the Lantern Festival.

Xie Xuanji missed her so much that he even married a subst.i.tute who looked like her and made her his empress .This woman’s name was Jiang Mingtang, and she was the adopted daughter of the Jiang family. For Jiang Mingwei’s sake, Xie Xuanji made Jiang Mingting the empress despite her being born in a humble family.

The last moments of Jiang Mingwei’s life were filled with resentment. She resented the merciless Ye Luyan, the malicious and jealous princess, her young and ignorant self, and the fake who replaced her.

If it wasn’t for Jiang Mingtang, she, Jiang Mingwei, would have become the empress. Xie Xuanji’s love would have belonged to her.

When she was reborn, it was in the year she entered Beirong territory. Without saying a word, she returned home.

She was determined to never make the same mistakes again. Why did she follow a barbarian to pursue true love when she had Xie Xuanji, the main character, wrapped around her finger?

The fake who had imitated her to become the empress should also scram back to where she came from.

Jiang Mingwei hurried back to the Jiang Manor. Regaining her position should be an easy task; after all, the marriage had yet to happen. Sure enough, as soon as she showed up, Madam Jiang’s eyes turned red, and Xie Xuanji immediately threw aside the fake and asked her where she had been in the past year.

Everyone believed that the marriage would be returned to Jiang Mingwei, but she wasn’t satisfied with just that.

Since Mu Mingtang had already obediently relinquished the marriage, Madam Jiang was planning to prepare a simple dowry and then send her away to marry an ordinary official’s son.

However, Jiang Mingwei refused. She cried about the grievances she had suffered in the past year and the shock she felt when she learned that her parents had adopted another daughter. She cried until Madam Jiang also burst out in tears, and the onlooking Xie Xuanji stepped forward and said that he had a way to deal with Mu Mingtang.

This satisfied Jiang Mingwei. She sat back and waited a few days for the result, which, to her dismay, came in the news of Mu Mingtang’s engagement with Xie Xuanchen.

“No!” Jiang Mingwei clenched her teeth and said, “She is just a merchant’s daughter who lived among the refugees for a year. Who knows whether she is still clean or not? What right does she have to marry Xie Xuanchen and become his princess?!”
