The new emperor of the Qing Kingdom came to the throne. In order to reconcile with the Yue Kingdom, the new emperor selected a noble daughter from among the female relatives of the appropriate age in the capital to get married.
It was a cold spring in March, and there were crowds of people outside the gate of the capital. The shabby wedding team was about to set off, and both sides of the road were crowded with people watching the excitement.
"The person getting married is Shen Baiyu, the third lady of the General's Mansion. I heard that she is full of evil!"
"I killed my sister-in-law who was five months pregnant. The major general broke her legs in anger. She deserved it."
"Not only that, she also stabbed the imperial concubine and seduced King Chen."
"Everyone in the capital knows that His Highness Prince Chen is attracted to the fifth lady of the Shen family, and Shen Baiyu is so shameless."
"Disrespecting parents, bullying brothers and hating sisters, such a poisonous woman has appeared in the general's mansion..."
The people talked a lot.
Shen Baiyu seemed not to hear everyone's harsh remarks. She was like a gaunt tree, her eyes were lifeless, and the ugly centipede-like burn scar took up half of her right face. The gold-woven red wedding dress wrapped her body as thin as paper, and the black chains on her wrists made a slight impact. Shen Baiyu limped, knelt down, and kowtowed three times in the direction of the imperial city.
Kowtow and bid farewell to old family members.
The second kowtow, bid farewell to the imperial city and homeland.
I kowtow three times and bid farewell to my scarred self. I wish that the rest of my life will have nothing to do with the past.
The suona sounded, the red flags flew, and Shen Baiyu embarked on the long journey of getting married, but no old friend came to see her off.
A few days later, the peace team suddenly encountered horse bandits at the border.
In panic, Shen Baiyu fell into the cold lake.
In the distant capital, the Shen family's daughter has become a noble queen; the Shen family's youngest daughter is engaged to Prince Chen and will soon be canonized as a princess - and Shen Baiyu, the notorious third lady of the general's palace, died on the way to the marriage.
On one side, a couple is made in heaven, and they are happy; on the other side, there is a cold pool in the wilderness, and no corpses remain.
