In the midwinter of the eleventh year of Yanhe, there was heavy snow.
The newly knighted Marquis of loyalty and bravery set up a banquet and the whole family celebrated it.
And in front of the lonely tomb on the outskirts of the Grand Capital, a woman in plain clothes was punched and kicked by a group of black-clad beaters, and the ground was stained red with blood.
Jaulin Brown, who was standing on the sidelines and watching, coldly said, "Judie, how dare you try to stop the Emperor and sue! If I were you, I wouldn't have had the face to live ten years ago. Amazingly, you've survived so far."
Judie Brown was covered with blood.
She ignored the sneer and sarcasm of the other party, but at last she glanced at the lonely tombstone, full of grief and indignation.
Ten years ago, her elder brother died in grievances.
She was eager to save her elder brother, and was framed by others, from the noble girl in the Marquis House to a slut pointed by thousands of people, and she was kicked out of the house.
She would not survive till now if she was not trying to reverse the case for her elder brother, or if she was not looking after her younger brother.
But after ten years of running around, at all costs, she finally found out the truth...
It was no match for the enemy's power.
The government office did not accept her case at all...
In the end, she waited until the emperor had a chance to go on tour, she sued the imperial court, but she was betrayed by the maid......
"I used to keep you alive, just because I didn't want to cause trouble. Now that my father has been knighted, and no one will gossip anymore." Jaulin slowly turned around and looked at her with a soft smile, "Fifth sister, I'll just give you one last ride."
......
In the first year of Yanhe, frost fell.
The Grand Capital, a small courtyard in Marquis House.
"Miss, it's dark, you must wake up." A very familiar voice rang out in her ears, "The young master will be executed tomorrow, and it is up to you to save him."
Judie dazedly opened her eyes, waiting to see the person standing beside her, her eyes were instantly cold.
Janet!
This was the maid she grew up with.
When she was driven out of the Marquis House, the girl was loyal and upright.
Judie was so moved and treated her like a sister until Marquis House's thugs found her...
Janet had always been the spy of the old lady of Brown.
Even if they had been driven out of Marquis House, the old lady was not at ease and sent someone to stare at them.
Just how did she look so young?
And she said just now ... Young Master will be executed tomorrow?
My elder brother was not dead?
Judie unbelievably widened her eyes and looked around for a while, only to find that this was her courtyard in Marquis House, and at this time she was...
The fingers were tender and not calloused from pulp washing and mending. The vision was clear, and she didn't have to stay up all night to read and embroider...
Judie stumbled and climbed out of bed, almost trembling as she pounced to the dresser.
The woman with bright eyes and bright teeth in the mirror was a young girl.
This was what she looked like when she was fourteen...
She had been beaten to death, why did she wake up and return to ten years ago? Could it be that God saw their poor family and gave her a new life?
Great! The elder brother was not dead. We still had time!
It was not too late for all this tragedy!
The tears in Judie's eyes fell.
Her father, Jared Brown, was originally a general stationed in the northern frontier, and when she was four years old, her father died in the service of his country, and the late Emperor posthumously conferred the title of Marquis of loyalty and bravery...
The biological mother died of dystocia as early as the birth of her younger brother.
The three lonely children were left behind; the oldest was her elder brother Lynn Brown, who was only ten years old.
The court ruled to send the orphans of the martyrs back to the Grand Capital's hometown.
This had to be mentioned by Judie's grandfather again.
The old man of Brown was originally a poor scholar. After being the top scorer in the palace examination, he married the daughter of the imperial family and set down in the Grand Capital. Her father, Jared Brown, was the eldest son of the original spouse of the old man of Brown in the countryside.
To get this noble relative, the old man of Brown changed his wife to a concubine.
The original spouse refused and died in front of the ancestral hall of the Brown family to preserve her son's identity as the eldest son.
Because she did not commit the seven-out rules, she could not be forced to go out, so she was buried in his ancestral grave as his wife.
The old lady of Brown could only serve as the second wife.
For the son left by the original match, she thought him like a nail in the eyes.
The young Jared Brown ran away from home, joined the army and traveled to far north.
For decades, he worked alone, married outside and had children, and never returned home until his death.
It was only after Judie was kicked out of the Marquis house that she slowly found out about these secret matters.
Her father thought they would never have any contact with Brown's family in the Grand Capital again. He didn't tell the juniors what the elders were.
When she first arrived at the Brown family, she was only four years old.
To save face, the Brown family had long since unified their confessions, saying that their grandmother had died of illness.
If she knew these things earlier, she would be able to take precautions.
But it was too late.
The Brown family never sent people to the northern frontier to ask. They all thought that Jared Brown had already died in battle, and they did not know his heroic merits.
When the court sent someone to check Jared Brown's place of origin and gave the Brown family an additional title, they would come up one by one.
The upper and lower levels of the Brown family were all honored by the imperial court.
Under the leadership of the old man of Brown, they moved collectively into the Marquis House.
Taking up such a big advantage, the old lady of Brown was still not satisfied.
She coveted the title.
The Da Sheng Dynasty Law stated that the father died and the son succeeded. But without sons, one could end up as a brother.
As long as Judie's two brothers had an accident, her son could inherit the title.
The old lady of Brown didn't dare to strike openly. As the heir to the title of Marquis, if something happened to them, the whole court would investigate it thoroughly.
It was a death sentence to kill an orphan to take a title.
So on the surface, the old lady of Brown was good to Judie's brothers.
In the dark, first, when her younger brother was learning to speak, someone was sent to frighten him, causing him to suffer from stuttering and disqualify him from inheritance.
In another monstrous injustice case, her elder brother was executed.
As for Judie, she was raised by the old lady of Brown from an early age. She was pampered by the old lady, and finally she was indifferent in learning skills.
The sisters in the family were all very talented. Only she, who couldn't even recognize words, naturally didn't understand the truth and general principles.
She just thought her grandmother was the best for herself.
It wasn't until she was expelled from the Marquis House that she began to understand what she was doing.
"What are you looking at, miss? The second Miss helped you by opening the concierge for half a quarter of an hour. If you don't hurry, you won't get out." Janet prodded.
Judie recovered, and the resentment contained in her eyes quickly recovered into the unfazed expression.
Jaulin was the second daughter of her second uncle.
Her father had no brothers, and the second and third uncles were the sons of the old lady of Brown.
When in Marquis House, she had the best relationship with Jaulin. But it was she, who pushed herself into the fire pit, nowhere to turn over.
Elder brother Lynn Brown was sentenced to be executed in a "criminal case" last year.
Judie had been running around without success and could only watch her elder brother's death come day by day.
Tomorrow would be the period of execution.
Seeing her desire to save her brother, Jaulin gave her an idea - to seduce the Regent.
Regent Edward was with a bad reputation.
Rumor had it that he was a disruptor of the nation; he bullied men and women, and committed acts of violence against animals. He was the most treacherous official in Da Sheng Dynasty and was the most powerful person in the world.
But Judie was beautiful.
Jaulin said that as long as she could daze the Regent, with one word from him, her elder brother would be released.
In the past, Judie had to give up her reputation and innocence to save her elder brother's life, and then she sneaked into the Windy Moon Salon.
Windy Moon Salon was the first whorehouse in the Grand Capital.
With the royal guards, it was only when the Regent strolled around the bordello that she had a chance to pretend to be a girl of the whorehouse and met him.
But the truth was, Judie didn't even have time to meet the Regent, and she was blocked by the Brown family's pre-arranged guards, who publicly revealed her identity as the daughter of the marquis.
An official's daughter was in a whorehouse?
As a result, Judie became the slut that many people referred to.
The Brown family used this as an excuse, claiming that she had brought disgrace to the Brown family and expelled her from the Brown family and the Marquis House.
The tragedy of a lifetime began with this trap.
Losing the identity of the official's daughter, even if she worked hard for ten years, she could not protect her younger brother, and she could not wash her grievances.
"Why isn't Miss talking? Is it because the Regent's reputation is so bad that you're afraid? But this is a matter of life. How good is the young master to you, can't you sacrifice a little for his sake?"
Seeing that Judie hadn't spoken, Janet was anxious and hurriedly encouraged.
A hint of mockery flashed in Judie's eyes. So worried that I'm not going to get your hook?
"For the sake of my elder brother, I will do everything."
Judie stood up and unconsciously clenched her fists together in her sleeve robe, "Let's go to the Wind Moon Salon."
Jaulin dug a pit and waited for her.
But there was nothing wrong with saying that the Regent was indeed the only person in the entire court today who could save his elder brother.
Missing this opportunity, she could only go to collect his corpse tomorrow.
However, the Regent was not coveting female sex. At least Judie hadn't seen him take a wife and concubine for ten years while she was still alive.
She had other plans.
Marquis House was strictly guarded. If it wasn't for Jaulin, she would have been forbidden to go out at this time. She wanted to "thank Jaulin."
Everything was arranged for her.
A carriage stopped at the back door and drove straight to the side door of Windy Moon Salon.
There was a responder who immediately took her to the room to change clothes.
Women's dresses in the whorehouse were light and thin, and the standard materials were very different from the ordinary official family's materials.
At a glance, one could tell the difference.
Judie let Janet take her into a boudoir and dressed up.
"Miss, please wait here. I went outside to have a look at the room of the Regent? Then send some money and send you in."
Janet was relieved that she had tricked Judie into Windy Moon Salon.
Just in time to inform those men.
Judie nodded at her with a smile, and let her go.
She knew that within a quarter of an hour, there would be three drunken men who broke into the door and chose her to accompany them.
They would pull her forcibly out of the door, ripping off her veil and undressing her clothes in public...
Then someone would recognize that this was the Fifth Miss of the Marquis House.
She would be utterly discredited.
The Regent had always been in the room of Courtesan, Simon.
In this farce, he didn't even come out from beginning to end.
As soon as Janet left, Judie opened the back window of the room and rolled out of the window.
Two slaves were guarding the door and it was impossible to walk through it.
This was the second floor of Windy Moon Salon.
But Windy Moon Salon was very magnificent. Each floor had four-cornered cornices, just right to settle down.
She closed the window lightly and gently, holding the railing side by side.
She must hurry up.
Once Janet came back and found that there was no one in the room, it was easy to guess that she had run through the window.
The room of Courtesan, Simon, not far from this room, was in the second room opposite.
She specifically observed just now.
Judie moved in small steps, and a layer of sweat was on her forehead.
Finally, she reached the destination.
The window was tightly closed and could only be opened from the inside.
Judie was planning to knock on the window, but she hadn't waited for it to start, and suddenly the window was pushed away.
She squatted quickly so as not to be swept down by the window.
The man who opened the window lowered his head, and happened to be with her, across the window, facing her eyes.
This man was only in his early twenties.
Dressed in a luxurious white gold-encrusted jade crescent moon-white robe, the handsome features were as sharp as a sword carving.
Underneath the thick, feather-like eyelashes, the narrow eyes were deep and elusive.
There was a trace of wildness in his eyebrows.
A glint of scrutiny flashed in the eyes that looked down at her, and then resumed their carefree laziness.
This was......
The First Regent of the Da Sheng Dynasty!
Judie's eyes brightened instantly.
Finally, she saw him!
Elder brother, you were saved!
At this moment, Judie's eyes did not hold back tears.
"Why is there a little beauty squatting outside your window?" Edward Kun's eyebrows flicked.
He had long felt that someone was approaching, and he deliberately caught her off guard.
He thought it was an assassin, but he didn't expect it to be a little girl with watery eyes.
Like a little bean sprout, she came out carefully from under the window sill.
The veil covered the face, but a pair of autumn eyes...
Happy tears in your eyes?
"Protect the lord!"
The black-clothed guard guarding that doorway moved like a rabbit as soon as he saw Judie, and the long sword in his hand cut directly over.
The sword was cold, and Judie was frightened to dodge back by the conditioned reflex, but suddenly reacted......
The landing was a narrow gable with an empty back.
Did I just fall to death when I see the Regent?
"Wow!"
Her feet were hanging in the air, but Judie found her collar was raised.
It was him!
The Regent!
With a wave of his hand, Edward Kun grabbed her from the window and casually threw her on the ground.
"With this effort, can you still be an assassin?"
Edward Kun glanced at her from the top and sneered, "Simon, the girl in your building was so bold. To peek at me, were they not afraid of death?"
Her clothes and the expression of tears of joy were misunderstood by the Regent...
"This girl is not like the person in our Windy Moon Salon."
The man in white, who was playing the piano, gave Judie a surprised look and said.
He was the first leader of Windy Moon Salon, Simon.
The skin was like silver snow, the appearance was brighter than the moon, and the people were like the name.
The Regent was in love with the land of fireworks, but he summoned Simon the most times.
Judie suspected that he was a gay man and that was why he didn't approach women. "Get out," Edward Kun said casually.
Judie hurriedly bent down and saluted, ''My lord, I am not a member of the Windy Moon Salon, nor is an assassin. That's just because it's so hard to see you! It had to be done."
"I have heard that your beloved is suffering from a disease, and I have come to present the prescription!"
