Chapter 73. A princess's woman will never admit defeat (1)

"Miss, don't wait any longer. Go back to sleep." Fu Ling's face was filled with frustration and a bit of anger.

Fu Ling stretched out her hand to support Lin Youniang. "Go to bed early. We have to pay tribute to the princess tomorrow. Miss, don't think about staying up all night."

Shi Jiu stood there motionless, melancholy in her eyes.

"Miss... don't be stubborn..." Seeing that she didn't respond, Fu Ling thought she was unwilling and was about to give a long speech to her young lady.

"Okay, let's go back. It's late at night..." Shi Jiu came back to her senses and stretched out her hand to lean on Fu Ling.

"Okay." Fu Ling helped her leave.

This was a house-fighting novel.

Lu Beiyuan, although born to a poor family, was very good at reading and became a scholar at a young age, even having an extremely good appearance.

So, he stood out amongst the group of suitors who were asking to marry Lin Youniang.

The Lin family was a merchant family. Mr. Lin had become a very successful and rich merchant, but he only held one person in his heart. His wife had died during childbirth, so he never took another wife or concubine and single mindedly raised his only daughter, Lin Youniang.

Mr. Lin placed her at the top of his heart, holding her in his hands to avoid fear, holding her in his hands to be afraid of falling.

When Lin Youniang reached the age of marriage, Mr. Lin decided to find a husband for her.

In this world, the status of businessmen was not that low. Mr. Lin was rich, and he only had one daughter, Lin Youniang. When Mr. Lin died, all the money would go to Lin Youniang and her husband.

Marrying Lin Youniang was equivalent to inheriting all of the Lin family's property.

Therefore, there were countless young people seeking to marry Lin Youniang.

Mr. Lin loved his daughter Lin Youniang very much, so he mainly relied on her opinion when looking for his son-in-law.

Then Lin Youniang fell in love with Lu Beiyuan at first sight and would not marry anyone except him.

Although Mr. Lin despised Lu Beiyuan for being poor and felt that his daughter would be wronged if she married him, he had no choice but to hold his nose and agree to the marriage as his daughter wanted.

After marrying Lin Youniang, Lu Beiyuan no longer had to worry about money and could concentrate on studying.

Lu Beiyuan was always very kind to Lin Youniang until he became the number one scholar.

Finally attaining success, he found himself attracted by the princess. When he was in the main hall of the palace receiving recognition as the number one scholar, the emperor asked him if he was married. He said no, so then he was granted a marriage to the princess.

After returning, Lu Beiyuan put on a sad face and told Lin Youniang that when the emperor asked him, he was too nervous and accidentally gave the wrong answer.

But now that things had come to this, he couldn't resist the decree. Resisting the decree was a major crime against the Nine Clan. Lin Youniang loved him very much and couldn't bear for him to get in trouble because of her, so she volunteered to be his concubine.

After Lu Beiyuan and the princess got married, Lin Youniang felt scared, fearing that Lu Beiyuan would fall in love with the princess, so she used various methods to fight with her.

The princess was arrogant and domineering, and Lu Beiyuan didn't seem to like the princess. In each month, he only went to the princess on the first and fifteenth night, and spent the rest of the nights with Lin Youniang.

Seeing this, Lin Youniang thought that she had been successful in keeping her husband and that the princess couldn't beat her.

Lin Youniang soon became pregnant. After she became pregnant, Lu Beiyuan became even nicer to her, asking about her every day, fearing that she wouldn't be able to eat, and even looking for delicious food for her everywhere just so that she could eat a few more bites.

Although she was just a concubine and the children she gave birth to would not call her mother, she still felt very happy under Lu Beiyuan's care.

Then after she gave birth to a boy, Lu Beiyuan smiled and fed her a bowl of ginseng soup.

After Lin Youniang drank the bowl of ginseng soup, she bled profusely.

Lu Beiyuan told her with a smile that the princess was infertile and Lin Youniang gave birth to a child. He was afraid that the princess would be unhappy. The princess becoming unhappy might cause her to go and talk to her father, which after a few times may affect his official career.

He felt that since Lin Youniang loved him so much, she should be willing to die for him. Lu Beiyuan reassured her that this child might be the only child he and the princess would have in their lives, and he would treat the child well.

The person she loved so much personally sent her to Huangquan Road*. She thought she had won the fight between herself and the princess, but in the end, she lost from the beginning.

She did not lose to the princess, she lost to Lu Beiyuan, her husband, her lover.

*Huangquan literally refers to underground water in Chinese but later was used to mean the road leading to the underworld. It's said that when people pass away and their spirits go to the Nether world, Huangquan Road is the only way for the spirits to go to the underworld from the real world.
