Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 618 Concubine Su

　　Lady Su stared in the mirror and blinked her eyes and sighed, it has been months since she transmigrated into the body of the imperial concubine of the Emperor and yet she hasn't gotten used to this body even after living as the Imperial Concubine for so long.

　　Being a young girl who once lived in a small village, a life filled with so much splendour and luxury was something that she couldn't get used to no matter how long she lived in this palace. As Lady Su stared at her reflection in the mirror and blinked her moist eyes that were filled with millions of stars with her palm-size face cupped in her hands, she sighed in contentment—— this, this was the life she has always been dreamed of.

　　No one knew that the Lady Su who was vain and scheming in the past was now dead and the soul that replaced the old lady Su was of a young girl who lived in a small village. She was once treated as a small maid by her father and her stepmother, and was almost sold to become a shared wife of five men! If not for her quick thinking and her over the top actions of taking her life, she would have been living a life that was worse than a sow! 

　　Though she was a young girl who was bullied by her family, she too had pride and would never allow anyone to stomp on it—- a shared wife? She would rather die than become one!

　　That was what Lady Su aka the original Su Wan thought but after she smashed her head on a pillar she woke up in the body of the obnoxious and scheming Lady Su who ruled her palace like a tyrant and was locked under house arrest after she pushed a concubine who was being favoured by the Emperor in the lake. Lady Su who was in love with the Emperor could not deal with the sudden loss of the favour of the Emperor and nor could she believe that the Emperor would be this cruel to her so she went on a hunger strike believing that the Emperor will definitely come and meet her but who was the Emperor? He was a man who didn't think twice before killing his father who was pleading under his feet, will such a man who had the heart of iron, melt for a mere concubine?

　　No. 

　　The Emperor never came to see Su Xinyi who was also known as Lady Su and the poor old concubine died because of starvation—— which could be counted as lucky for Su Wan whose soul was wandering after she died. Seeing an empty shell, she occupied this body and started living as Concubine Su. 

　　Fortunately, because of this house arrest, the new Su Xinyi had enough time to relocate all the memories and get used to her new life. 

　　Of course, she had to deal with a lot of trouble because of the previous owner of the body but now that it had been more than ten months, Concubine Su had won over the Emperor's favour and started living a decent life in the imperial palace. Nevertheless, at first, it was a bit hard for her to get used to a body that was more than twenty-five years old and a husband who was in his forties, but she somehow managed to do it given that her husband was the ruler of the heavens. 

　　" Lady Su." A shadow guard dropped from the roof out of nowhere as he kneeled behind Concubine Su. " I have found out about the Su family, that you wanted me to look into." 

　　"Oh, you did," said concubine Su as she turned to look at the shadow guard and finally broke the staring contest with her reflection. " What did you find out?" 

　　The shadow guard didn't know why the concubine was asking about the Su family of such a small village but given that she shared the same surname ' Su' he thought that Lady Su might have some relationship with that family and hurriedly replied, " The Su family of the  Su village are living a hard life, my lady."

　　Upon hearing this concubine Su's delicate eyebrows furrowed and the shadow guard hurriedly added, "It's because of their daughter, apparently, Su Bai's daughter took away all the monetary benefits that he has been illegally subsidising under the name of his dead wife… on the day of her marriage she brought everything away with her—-"

　　There was a loud bang as Su Xinyi stood up from her stool with her fingers clenched——daughter took away on the day she got married? How was that possible? She clearly died, so that body should have been buried and destroyed! Then how come that body not only did not die but also married someone? 

　　And that too as a shared wife! 

　　Just the thought of her body living as a shared wife disgusted her —— no, it was better to say that the mere thought of the girl named Su Wan still being alive made her skin crawl. After all, that body was supposed to be dead! So who was the one who using that body and living as her?

　　Su Xinyi inhaled a sharp breath and shook her head, no it didn't matter who that person was—- nor did she care why they were living as the timid and cowardly Su Wan who had nothing or the monetary benefits that they took away with them. The only thing that she cared about was that the person was not supposed to be there, living as her… that existence that she hated so much, it should have been wiped clean from the face of this world. 

　　Because as long as that existence exists, so will her past and Su Xinyi did not want it to exist! She wanted it dead! Just how it was supposed to be!

　　Su Wan who was sleeping in her bed shivered as she drew in closer to Lin Yan's arms feeling as if a disgusting bug was crawling on top of her skin.
