Lan Mingning woke up and lay on a strange bed. The sharp pain in her head reminded her of the moment when she was pushed down by the family members of the deceased in the medical disturbance.

Did she come back to life from death?

Lan Mingheng suddenly sat up and suddenly found that she was not in a familiar environment, but in a room full of antique fragrance. It seemed that she had seen the decorations around her before. Suddenly, everything went black in front of her eyes, and strange memories kept pouring into her mind.

In her memory, her name was Shangguan Mingheng, and she was the eldest legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Manor. Originally, she was about to marry the current Crown Prince, but was pointed at by the Crown Prince to the disabled and bedridden Xiao Yueyue. Moreover, she took the initiative to agree.

Although he didn't know the reason behind it, Shangguan Mingheng wouldn't let him do whatever he wanted.

Suddenly, with a crash, the door was knocked open from the outside, and a maid-like person broke in.

"Get changed quickly. We are going to move to the side yard tonight, and Prince Ning will come to welcome the bride before dawn tomorrow."

The maid threw a stack of red clothes into Shangguan Mingheng's arms, her face full of impatience.

Shangguan Mingming pinched his clothes tightly and asked coldly, "Why did the auspicious time come at night? Who set this rule?"

Yu Cui, the maid, sneered and replied, "It's King Zhan Ning's order. You're just a girl who was broken off by the Crown Prince. King Zhan Ning is not in good health, so he has to make it in advance."

Shangguan Mingming frowned and looked gloomy. "In that case, what's the point of getting married in the side yard? I'm the only legitimate daughter of the Deputy Prime Minister's Chambers, right?"

It seemed that she didn't expect Shangguan Mingheng to become so cunning. Yu Cui was stunned and had to say, "In short, it's our mansion's order. We're just following it."

Shangguan Mingyi threw the wedding dress on the ground, and his whole body burst into a burst of fierceness. "Go and ask him clearly. If you make any mistakes, be careful of your head!"

Yu Cui's face turned pale. Facing Shangguan Mingyi, who suddenly became strong, she did not dare to fight back. She picked up her wedding dress and ran out in a hurry.

Shangguan Mingyi, who had calmed down, could not help but relax. His heart was in a mess. It could be seen that no one in this mansion cared about the engagement between her and the disabled man. She was destined to become the laughingstock of the capital city if she married King Zhanning.

Although King Zhan Ning had once stood at such a peak and enjoyed supreme glory, he was now just a wounded beast trapped in a cage. The Crown Prince had deliberately allowed her to marry King Zhan Ning. The plot behind it must have left her with nowhere to go.

After thinking it through for a long time, Shangguan Ming said with a sneer, "It's fine if I don't marry a dead man."

Although she was very unfamiliar with this world, it should not be difficult for her to escape here with the wisdom of modern people.

Yu Cui didn't come back for a long time. Shangguan Ming felt very upset, so he didn't wait for the right time and rushed out in the dark.

However, she didn't expect that after she left Ming's Pavilion, two pairs of eyes were locked on her.

"Your Highness, it seems that the princess wants to escape. Shall we?"

In the darkness, a somewhat low voice said lightly, "Don't make a move first."

The guard nodded slightly and completely disappeared into the night.

Shangguan Mingheng, who was running on the wall of the house, felt extremely flustered, as if something big was going to happen.

In the large Prime Minister's mansion, they finally saw a side door. Shangguan Ming was delighted and rushed out.

She didn't expect that after she went out, the lights were bright, and there were many people outside the door, which lit up her expression in an instant.

"Madam, my guess is right. She really wants to escape!"

Yu Cui, who had just left, was among the people who surrounded Shangguan Ming.

There was a luxurious woman standing next to Yu Cui. She was covered in pearls and jade, but her face was extremely fierce.

At this time, when she saw Shangguan Ming, she showed a frightened fake smile and said, "Tomorrow is your wedding day. Where are you going?"

Shangguan Mingyi took a step back and looked warily at the servants in front of him. It seemed that the Jiang family had already known that she would run away, and they were waiting for her to fall into their trap with all their men!

Shangguan Mingheng's fingers were cracking, but she had no choice but to let the Jiang family take her back to the Prime Minister's Manor.

After returning to the mansion, she was taken to Righteous Hall, and the whole family treated her as a prisoner.

"Sister, what's wrong with marrying King Zhanning? Although he's not as good as the Crown Prince and King Zhanning is disabled, he's still a prince. Why are you running away from the wedding?"

An ear-piercing mockery came from the hall. It came from a gentle woman.

Shangguan Shuyue was the daughter of the Jiang family. Now that the Jiang family was the main wife, she could be counted as half the daughter of the main wife. In the past, she disliked Shangguan Mingwan very much. Now, it was a good opportunity for her to add insult to injury.

Shangguan Ming looked at her and was instantly disgusted by her pretending gentleness.

"Which eye of yours saw me running away from the wedding? But you're pretending to be a man while saying something bad about King Ning. Don't you find it disgusting?"

Shangguan Shuyue glared at him with wide eyes and scolded, "How dare you! How dare you scold me!"

Shangguan Ming smiled coldly and said, "Who is so presumptuous in front of my elder sister?"

As soon as he said that, Shangguan Shuyue's face turned pale and she looked at the Jiang family in a flash.

Mrs. Jiang was now regarded as a co-wife, and her status was the same as her biological mother. However, Shangguan Mingwan had never approved of her as a mother, nor had she treated them as the direct descendants of the Prime Minister's Manor.

Shangguan Ming meant that he didn't take the Jiangs seriously.

Sure enough, when Madam Jiang heard this, her face became extremely ugly. "Look, what have you done? Old Master, do we really have no status in the mansion? Let's see how much Shuyue has been bullied by her! If she marries into Prince Chengning's Manor, it will be a disgrace to the Prime Minister's Manor!"

The opposite of the Jiang family was Shangguan Mingming's father, Shangguan Zhuo. At this time, Shangguan Zhuo was also frowning with a face full of displeasure. What the Jiang family said just now also made Shangguan Zhuo angry, but he just didn't say anything.

"Father, I don't feel wronged. It's just that if my elder sister enters Prince Chengning's Mansion like this, she will be despised by her mother-in-law. At that time, she will lose the people of the Prime Minister's Manor. It's not a small matter! I'll beat her 30 times and teach her the rules."

Shangguan Shuyue's face was gentle, but what she said was chilling.

Looking at Shangguan Zhuo in the hall, who did not refuse, Shangguan Ming's heart sank.

Seeing that Shangguan Zhuo did not object, the Jiang family immediately waved their hands. Four sturdy servants walked in with thick sticks in their hands. Without saying a word, they suppressed Shangguan Mingheng and were ready to take action.

Shangguan Mingyi's eyes darkened, and he slapped the servant's face, shocking everyone.

"How dare you! I'm the future Consort Ning. How dare you attack me?"

His words woke the hall master up, and Shangguan Zhuo's eyes finally showed a trace of emotion.
