Chapter 296: Ninghua Marquis's Concubine Turns Over

This is a plane of ancient imperial history with elements of rebirth. The original owner, Su Lan, was a maidservant who came with her as a dowry to Yi Qinghui, the wife of the Marquis of Ninghua. She diligently cared for her wife's daily needs and lived a simple yet stable life.

However, fate began to change when Yi Qinghui had been married into the Marquis's mansion for three years and still had no children. Seeing her husband's love for her gradually waning, Yi Qinghui was extremely anxious. In order to firmly hold on to her husband's heart, after careful consideration, she made a bold but helpless decision - to send Su Lan to her husband Yun Xiao's bed.

Perhaps it was God's blessing, or perhaps Su Lan's own good fortune, but after just one year, she became pregnant and gave birth to a chubby, fair baby boy the following year, whom she named Yun Hao. The birth of this child undoubtedly made Su Lan a "hero" of the Marquis's mansion, and she naturally gained status and was promoted to Concubine Su of the Marquis's mansion.

Despite this, Su Lan's status as a concubine in the Marquis's mansion was still low, barely higher than that of an ordinary maid. She had to take care of her own food and clothing, and the courtyard she lived in was located far away from the main courtyard, Furong Garden. Although the environment there was quiet, it ultimately felt a bit lonely and desolate.

For Su Lan, her son Yun Hao was her entire hope and sustenance in life. However, as a concubine, she was not qualified to raise the young master herself. Poor Yun Hao had been registered under the name of Madam Yi Qinghui since birth and had been raised in the main courtyard.

Su Lan only had the opportunity to see her beloved son up close when she visited the main courtyard to pay her respects to the madam. Every brief encounter made her cherish him even more, yet her heart was also filled with sadness and helplessness.

The original owner, a simple and kindhearted person, had always cherished the thought that if his wife could have her own biological child, she would surely return him to him. With this beautiful hope in mind, the original owner devoutly fasted and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day, praying that the gods and Buddhas would protect his wife and allow her to give birth to a child.

Perhaps it was truly fate that was moved by Su Lan's sincerity. Just when Xiao Yunhao turned three, Yi Qinghui finally became pregnant. As soon as the news spread, the entire mansion was plunged into jubilation. Whether master or servant, everyone's face was filled with joy.

However, behind this seemingly happy situation, someone also issued a kind reminder to the original owner.

The maids who had a good relationship with the original owner warned her that for a concubine like her who already had children, the lady's pregnancy might not be a good thing, and even advised her to be more careful.

But the original owner, completely immersed in the joy of reuniting with her son, didn't take these words to heart. She was only thinking about how to reunite with her son, whom she missed so much, as soon as possible.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, eight months had passed. After a long and arduous wait, Yi Qinghui finally gave birth to a baby boy. Coincidentally, at the same time, the Ninghua Marquis, who was fighting at the border, also received victory news—he had led his army to a major victory!

In this way, the Marquis' Mansion had a double blessing and became the focus of everyone's attention for a while.

When the emperor learned about this, he was very pleased and personally named Yi Qinghui's newborn son "Yunlin". He placed high hopes on the child, hoping that when he grows up, he will be able to fight bravely on the battlefield like his brave and fearless father, and make great military achievements for the country.

With the arrival of this noble legitimate son in the Marquis' Mansion, the original owner finally got his wish. He naturally took his son back and kept him by his side to raise him carefully.

Although the life of the mother and son was quite hard after that, as long as they depended on each other, every day was filled with simple and pure happiness.

On that seemingly ordinary day, fate quietly began to turn. Yunlin, six years old, was out playing with his cousin Yifeng. Suddenly, he slipped and fell into the water. The icy water instantly engulfed his tiny body. He desperately struggled and called for help, but his voice grew fainter.

By the time Yi Feng and his servants worked together to pull Yun Lin out of the river, he was already breathing more in than out.

This scene terrified the entire Yi and Yun families. They were in a state of panic and anxiety. The Yi and Yun families quickly dispatched people to the palace, begging the emperor to send a highly skilled imperial physician to treat the patient.

After a long and anxious wait, the imperial physician finally arrived. He quickly initiated emergency measures, using acupuncture and medication, doing his utmost to save this fragile life.

Hard work pays off. Under the meticulous care of the imperial physician, Yunlin, who had been on the verge of death, gradually began to recover. Finally, he slowly opened his eyes, and consciousness gradually returned. But surprisingly, the one who woke up was not the innocent, lively and adorable little Yunlin, but the down-and-out prince Yunlin from twenty years later.

The down-and-out prince looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings and faces in disbelief, a complex wave of emotions welling up in his heart. When he realized he had traveled back to his childhood, his joy was beyond words. Overwhelmed with emotion, he threw himself into the warm embrace of his mother, Yi Qinghui, and sobbed like a child.

At the same time, he secretly vowed to change his fate. Overindulged by his grandmother and mother, he had become arrogant and domineering, lacking both literary and martial skills, and inferior in every way to his half-brother, Yun Hao. Despite being a legitimate son and having been granted the title of Crown Prince of Ninghua at the age of sixteen by his father's petition, he remained unmotivated, spending his days parading through the streets with his cronies, living a life of debauchery.

Now that he has been reborn, he is determined to strive for strength, crush Yun Hao, and become the powerful man that everyone admires. However, his unusual behavior has left Yi Qinghui, who is beside him, very confused and puzzled. She has no idea why her son has changed so much since he woke up from the drowning.

Yes, the reborn Yun Lin is the male protagonist of the second round, the small world, who takes the path of a loser who counterattacks and gets slapped in the face.

In his first life, Yun Lin was well protected by the Yun family for the first twenty years, but he chose to seek death by dealing with his half-brother. As a result, when the Marquis' Mansion fell into decline, no one was willing to help him, and he eventually died miserably in the small courtyard.

The eldest son of the Marquis's family, the little-known Yun Hao, is the control group of his life.

In that deep courtyard, Aunt Su, in order to secure a precious opportunity for her seven-year-old son, Xiao Yunhao, to attend the clan school, she humbled herself and repeatedly begged the Marquis. Finally, her efforts were rewarded, and Xiao Yunhao finally entered the palace of knowledge as he wished.

Little Yunhao, fully aware of his mother's hardships and difficulties, cherished this hard-earned opportunity to study. Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the window, he would rise early and begin his studies. Even when night fell and all was quiet, he would still study by lamplight, immersed in his books.

Even the strict teachers were impressed by his diligence and hard work. They often praised Yun Hao for his intelligence and high comprehension in front of Yun Xiao, and asserted that he would achieve great things in the future.

However, fate always seemed to like playing tricks on people. This lord, who came from a military family, had always looked down on officials who dabbled in literature. When he heard that his eldest son was determined to embark on the path of a civil servant, he became even more dissatisfied and became even more indifferent to Xiao Yunhao.

Despite this, Xiao Yunhao remained undaunted. Instead, relying on his unwavering dedication and exceptional talent, he overcame all obstacles. He first achieved first place in the provincial examination, earning the prestigious title of "Xiangyuan." He then distinguished himself in the metropolitan examination, earning the title of "Jieyuan." At the age of twenty, he ascended to the Golden Palace, a symbol of supreme honor. Facing the Emperor, he spoke eloquently and fluently on national affairs, ultimately securing the title of top scholar.
