It was night, the ancestral hall of the General Mansion of the Pillar Kingdom.

Shen Lingyu knelt on the futon and bowed three times to the tablet of her deceased husband.

Behind her, the servant girl Zelan saw that she couldn't kneel for a long time, and couldn't help but step forward to help her with red eyes.

"Madam, you have been hostage in the Northern Desert Country for ten years, and you have been tortured, and the doctor said that your legs can't withstand the toss anymore, otherwise they will be wasted, so let's get up quickly......"

Shen Lingyu lowered her eyes and sighed softly, holding Zelan's hand and slowly getting up, but a sharp pain suddenly came from her knees, and then it hit her whole body, making her cough uncontrollably.

"Madame!"

Zeeland shouted anxiously, and when he looked down, he saw that she had vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Slave maid go get a doctor!" Zeeland panicked.

Shen Lingyu raised his hand to stop it, brushed his sleeves to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth, and smiled lightly on his face.

"Zelan, don't you know in your heart, my body and bones have long been wasted, and there is no medicine ...... medicine"

"Madame......"

Zeelan looked at her with a distressed look on his face and couldn't help but cry.

"The person who went to the Northern Desert as a hostage back then should have been the second lady, if it weren't for your kindness to replace her, how could you have suffered for so many years."

Shen Lingyu smiled bitterly and didn't speak, raised her eyes and quietly stared at the tablet of her deceased husband, for a long time, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"Perhaps, this is my fate......"

When she was fifteen years old, she was ordered by her parents to marry Pei Lanzhi, the third young master of the General's Mansion of Zhuguo, as his wife.

Hearing that the war was extremely tragic, every two days there were 800 miles rushed back to Shengjing, first the father-in-law died in battle, then his lieutenant, then the eldest son of the house, and then her husband Pei Lanzhi.

In that half a year, there were cries and wails every day in the General's Mansion, but fortunately, after several bloody battles, the war was won, and the only one who survived in the General's Mansion was the second brother.

Although the Northern Desert suffered a defeat, it was not a sincere surrender, so after deliberation, the court and China decided to send the most favored princess Ronghua and relatives in exchange for the peace of the two countries in the future.

Unexpectedly, the envoy of the Northern Desert took advantage of this to put forward an extremely harsh condition, that is, the General Mansion of the Pillar State needed to send a female relative to accompany the princess to the Northern Desert.

The implication is that most of their soldiers died under the sword of Pei Jiajun, and they have resentment, so they want to vent with women.

When the envoy made this request, he also deliberately mentioned the second lady of the General's Mansion, Shen Lingyu's second sister-in-law Ye Wanran, just because the second brother killed the enemy the most on the battlefield and was the only one who survived, the second sister-in-law and the second brother were husband and wife, if she was humiliated in the enemy country, the second brother's face would be shameless.

Although the envoy did not bluntly say that he must accompany his second sister-in-law, how could the ministers of the DPRK and China not understand that side knock.

Therefore, when the news reached the general's mansion, the ladies in the backyard panicked all of a sudden.

The second sister-in-law was reluctant to die, and Shen Lingyu was also sorry and sympathetic in her heart.

Unexpectedly, after some weighing, her mother-in-law knelt in front of her and asked her to go to the Northern Desert with the princess.

"Anyway, the envoy of the Northern Desert just asked us to send a female dependent to the general's mansion, and did not directly name your second sister-in-law, she is still pregnant, unlike you, young and widowed, and alone without worry, just treat your mother-in-law as if you can't live with you, and if you owe you, your mother-in-law will pay it with her life in the next life!"

The mother-in-law kowtowed to her while crying, and the second sister-in-law who rushed to hear the news did not hesitate to kneel down and beg her with a big belly, she had no choice but to nod and agree.

In the ten years she was hostage in the Northern Desert, she was tortured and lived as well as livestock, but fortunately, she is now bitter and happy......

While pondering, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the ancestral hall, and Shen Lingyu was afraid that others would see her vomiting blood, so she asked Zelan to hide behind a tent.

Almost as soon as they were standing, someone pushed the door open and walked in.

Shen Lingyu quietly glanced at it, it was her second sister-in-law Ye Wanran and second uncle Pei Lanqing.

Pei Lanqing was wearing a brocade green shirt, standing there upright, like a Zhilan jade tree, with a graceful bearing.

Just seeing that glorious face, Shen Lingyu's thoughts couldn't help but be in a trance.

There is no other reason, just because her husband and second uncle are twin sons, and the two look exactly the same, so when she sees him, she can't help but think of her husband who died in battle.

Suddenly, the cold voice of the second sister-in-law suddenly floated in his ears.

"I didn't expect Shen Lingyu to come back alive from Beimo, if she knew that you were not Lan Qing, but to stay with me for a long time, you exchanged identities with your dead second brother on the battlefield and returned, I was only afraid that she would turn the General's Mansion upside down."

When Shen Lingyu heard this, he was stunned.

Zelan, who was supporting her behind her, couldn't help but tremble with anger.

Shen Lingyu stood dumbfounded, and for a moment she only felt that she had heard it wrong, how could her husband still be alive? How could she be with her second sister-in-law, what she heard must not be true!

But in the next moment, she heard the man's indifferent voice without a trace of emotion.

"Even if she finds out, after staying in the Northern Desert for ten years, the General's Mansion will long be out of her charge, not to mention that her body has lost and she won't live long."

Ye Wanran then sighed, "I heard that the people of the Northern Desert are cruel and treat women like animals, women are just playthings for their pleasure there, and they are not as good as the prostitutes in Yuchun Building, so I'm afraid that her body is losing money like that......"

"That's what she asked for, the woman was humiliated, and she should judge herself to show her chastity, only she, who survived and lost the face of my general's mansion!"

When Shen Lingyu heard this, his ears roared, as if he was blocked by something, and he couldn't hear anything.

It wasn't until Zeelan shouted her name with tears in her eyes and concern that she realized that the two were gone.

She opened her mouth and grabbed Zelan's hand and tried to say something, but her heart seemed to be pressed against a jack, and she almost couldn't breathe.

She was deceived miserably, and went to the Northern Desert for Ye Wanran to suffer for ten years, and she did not hesitate to destroy her body to be able to keep her innocence in front of those greedy men, but in the end, in exchange for their shame and spit, she was so unwilling!

Shen Lingyu smiled bitterly with red eyes, but a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth again, her back stiffened, and the next moment, she fell straight to the ground with angry eyes.

Zeeland hurriedly helped her, but when he felt her pulse, he fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

"Madame is gone!"
