Chapter 436: Epilogue - A Fleeting Dream, Past Regrets (Chen Yueyao)
For ten years, Chen Yueyao couldn't understand why she was expelled from the Jingyang Marquis Mansion.
And why was Suixui the daughter of Prince Xing?
Wasn't she the daughter of Aunt Qiu?
Why did all this happen?
Did she live again just to enjoy less than half a year of happiness?
But she didn't even get to enjoy it.
Chen Yueyao had countless thoughts of death, fantasizing about being reborn again.
If given another chance, she wouldn't trust her parents again. She would be the cruel one, killing Suixui first and hiding everything well.
If she had been reborn earlier, she might have had the opportunity to impersonate Aunt Qiu's daughter from the start and become a princess of the Prince's Manor!
But no matter what, she couldn't die!
The journey into exile was so difficult that Chen Yueyao's younger brother couldn't endure it and passed away along the way.
The two older brothers couldn't bear the hardships either and died during the journey.
In the end, only Chen Yueyao, her parents, and one brother made it to the Northern Region.
The four of them, though they blamed each other, couldn't die and had no choice but to keep living.
Their journey was slow, and by the time they reached the Northern Region, winter had already set in.
They had no winter shelter and could only stay in dilapidated thatched huts, often waking up frozen in the middle of the night, sometimes even without a roof the next morning.
In such a harsh environment, Tian Cuihua only lasted two months before running off with an older military household man.
He had a house, food, and warm firewood, which was much better than her own family.
After Tian Cuihua left, she even tried to help her son, but the military household man beat her, breaking her leg. She spent half a year bedridden before recovering and becoming more obedient.
Watching Tian Cuihua live a better life, Chen Yueyao also wanted the same, but she was just a child, and no one would look twice at her.
Then, Chen Yueyao thought of death again.
But no matter what she tried, she couldn't die.
She seemed to have inherited Tian Cuihua's stubborn hold on life.
Tian Cuihua had been tormented on the way to exile, left with only a breath, almost buried in a mass grave, but she miraculously survived.
Chen Yueyao jumped into a river in the dead of winter, nearly freezing to the point of madness, yet she still couldn't die.
Without seeing a doctor or having money for medicine, she relied solely on her resilience and lived.
Tian Cuihua didn't last ten years; she passed away within a few years.
Chen Dalang's fate was similar.
Chen Erlang's family, having departed from Qingzhou, arrived later than the others.
When they reached their destination, the flowers were blooming in the spring warmth, and it was Chen Dalang's greed that led to their involvement.
So, after Chen Erlang's family arrived, the two families constantly fought and quarreled.
Then, Chen Dalang suddenly died, unable to catch his breath.
Next was Chen Yueyao's eldest brother.
Finally, it was Chen Yueyao's turn.
In ten years, she grew into a young woman. During this time, she had to compromise with countless men to have a full meal or wear decent clothes.
On several occasions, Chen Yueyao encountered men who enjoyed hitting her, leaving her with only a breath left. She thought she would just wait to die.
But she survived each time.
For ten years, starting from the age of thirteen when she first caught men's attention, and for the following two years, she was like an unwanted stray dog, moving from one man's bed to another without any dignity.
She contracted a venereal disease but had no money for treatment, and strangely, she recovered.
She had a miscarriage but miraculously healed without medication.
Chen Yueyao eventually resigned herself to her fate, thinking that since she couldn't die, she might as well endure the turmoil.
Year after year, she endured her time in the Northern Region, intermittently receiving news from the Capital City.
Radiant Princess had cultivated ten thousand acres of fertile fields in the Northwest, heralding a bountiful harvest.
Radiant Princess developed new crop varieties, leading to a great harvest in the Capital City and its surroundings.
Radiant Princess improved weaponry, making the soldiers on the Northwest and Southwest battlefields even more valiant!
...
Radiant Princess, Radiant Princess.
Her name was everywhere.
Once, Chen Yueyao grew impatient and muttered a few words, only to be severely beaten.
Radiant Princess had developed numerous cold-resistant crop varieties, improving the agricultural conditions and crop growth in the Northern Region, significantly enhancing the livelihood of its people.
Thus, the people of the Northern Region held great admiration and respect for Radiant Princess.
If Chen Yueyao dared to speak ill of her, a severe beating would be the least of her worries! Chen Yueyao listened to these updates with numbness, but what she truly wanted to hear about was the Wei family.
In her previous life, she had yearned for Wei Mingqiao, whom she couldn't have, and thought of him constantly throughout her life. Now, she wondered how he was doing.
However, she soon learned that he was doing very well.
His maternal grandmother's family was quickly exiled to the same place.
Through their words, Chen Yueyao learned that Wei Mingqiao had risen to prominence, securing the position of Heir. He revitalized the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion.
Wei Mingqiao personally escorted supplies to the Northwest battlefield, alleviating the pressure there.
Wei Mingqiao entered the Imperial Botanical Garden, supporting and assisting Radiant Princess in her research and development of improved seeds.
...
After hearing all this, Chen Yueyao wept and laughed.
The good news was that he had become successful and even more ruthless than in her previous life.
His stepmother and the half-siblings she bore were oppressed by him, leaving them with almost no room to maneuver.
The childhood shadows that the stepmother had cast upon them were gradually lifted after Wei Mingqiao became the Heir! Wei Mingqiao even took matters into his own hands with his maternal grandmother's family, cutting off all the stepmother's support and resources, leaving her powerless to cause any more trouble.
Wei Mingqiao was ruthless enough to directly eliminate any chance of the Xu family's resurgence when he learned that they had supported the stepmother and her brother.
After the Xu family was exiled to the Northern Region, they either succumbed to illness or met with accidents.
Within two years, they were nearly wiped out.
Although Chen Yueyao didn't inquire into the details, she knew it was Wei Mingqiao's doing.
The young man she had thought about constantly, the very thing that attracted her the most in her previous life, was his ruthless heart.
The bad news was that even after living another life, Wei Mingqiao's heart still yearned for Suixui!
Suixui, Suixui, Suixui... Always Suixui.
Why?
If it was her in the previous life, was it still her in this life?
Chen Yueyao died during the winter of her seventeenth year.
When the news of Suixui's marriage to Lu Yinxiao reached the Northern Region, the entire region erupted in cheers and celebrations.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Yueyao went mad.
The night before Suixui's wedding, Chen Yueyao fell into the river.
In the Northern Region's winter, the river water was frozen solid.
Occasionally, villagers would break the ice to fish, hoping to add a meal to their table.
Chen Yueyao ran to the river in a fit of madness and fell into a hole in the ice, never to resurface.
The icy river water stimulated Chen Yueyao's nerves, and for a fleeting moment, her mind cleared.
She thought: This time, she would finally be free from her stubborn fate.
If only she could start over.
If given another chance, she would never live a life worse than this one.
Never!
