"It's so cold. I am freezing..."
"Qiu Shuang, I'm afraid I'm going to die."
A woman on the bed murmured. The front yard was covered with heavy snow. The biting wind, mixed with the whirling snow, blew open the window and floated into the room, freezing the woman on the bed and making her shiver.
She looked at the door in the distance and asked, "He... hasn't been here yet?"
Qiu Shuang said, "His Highness has been busy dealing with official business these days, and he's always come back late at night. When he came to see you, you fell asleep."
Looking at the face of Qiu Shuang, Su Mengyan knew that she was lying.
Mu Xiao, the man whom she had loved for a lifetime, had been lying to her this whole time.
She was once the eldest daughter of the wealthiest family in the capital city.
She was so rich that she could fight for the throne for His Highness.
But now, she could only lie on this shabby bed, looking so awkward.
His love and care for her were all fake. The effort he put into their relationship was just for her money and power.
She knew it. From the moment she begged her father, the wealthiest man in the country, to ask His Majesty for a marriage contract and forced him to marry her, she was indeed a loser.
She seemed to have locked this man in their marriage, but the truth was, she just let herself become more humble in front of him.
After three years of marriage, he had taken in a concubine.
It was a woman who looked very similar to the one he loved.
She was so jealous that she wanted to embarrass her by pushing her into the water. But before she could do anything, the concubine fell into the water.
At this very moment, Mu Xiao rushed over and rescued her. Because of this matter, he had a big fight with her. She was so angry that she directly stabbed the sharp hairpin into his belly, and the next moment she was thrown into this cold courtyard.
It was a year till now, Mu Xiao had never stepped into this place, and she had never been allowed to go out.
Recalling the past, Su Mengyan should have been heartbroken. However, she suddenly smiled and said, "Qiu Shuang, do you believe in the next life?"
Hearing what she said, Qiu Shuang suddenly panicked and held Su Mengyan's hand tightly. "My lady, don't talk nonsense."
In a moment of desperation, she could no longer care about the fake title of 'Your Highness'.
Su Mengyan thought of her father.
As feeling threatened by his wealthiest father-in-law, Mu Xiao demoted him to Jiangnan City.
It was a long journey, and Su Mengyan's father was too old to sustain the torture. He died of illness on the way before he arrived in Jiangnan.
"Father, I was wrong... I was wrong..."
"My lady!"
Su Mengyan could still hear Qiu Shuang's cries, but she couldn't open her eyes.
In this life, she had used up all of her strength to fall in love with this man.
If there was a next life...
If there really was a next life...
She would never let her family suffer and die for her!
She would never fall in love with Mu Xiao again!
She would never marry him again!
