Since ancient times, there had been a saying that the girl with the phoenix fate would obtain the world. The Empress and the Fourth Prince had obtained the initiative in the competition for the position of heir. Soon, with the support of the royalists, the Fourth Prince would be adopted as their heir. The word “orthodox” would allow him to suppress the Second and Third Princes, becoming the most popular prince.

What about the adult Yao Yao?

In her initial nightmare, she had married into the Zhenguo Marquis Residence within a hundred days of her grandmother’s death.

At that time, she only thought that the Zhenguo Marquis Residence was worried that her offspring would be delayed as she was mourning for her grandmother.

However, that was not the case.

After Yu Shuangbai accepted the “phoenix fate”, the ugly matter of Yu Zongshen falling in love with his eldest sister-in-law and having an affair with her was exposed by Madam Yang and her daughter. In the past, Yu Zongshen’s kindness to the adult Yao Yao and his attention to her had all become evidence of her “unbearable” background.

In order to cover up the scandal, the Yu Residence had taken on the responsibility of affecting Yu Zongshen’s reputation and Yu Shuangbai’s

“future.” They had hit it off with the Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife and married Yao Yao into the Zhenguo Marquis Residence early on.

Of course, the Zhenguo Marquis Residence did not want Song Mingzhao to marry the adult Yao Yao.

However, first of all, the marriage was set by the elders of the two families and could not be easily annulled.

Second, the Song and Yu families were connected. Yu Zongshen was already a little worried. If there was a “scandal” because of Yao Yao, it would be a huge blow to the royalists.

For the sake of the overall situation, the Zhenguo Marquis Residence could only pinch their noses and admit it.

Moreover, a married daughter was like water that had been splashed out.

The adult Yao Yao did not even have a chance to observe mourning for her grandmother for a year.

Yu Yao woke up from her nightmare. She lay upright on the bed and looked up blankly. She did not know if Yu Shuangbai was really born with a phoenix fate, or if all of this was just a scheme by the Empress to fight for the throne.

But no matter what, the Empress had used the Fourth Prince’s marriage to achieve her goal.

The Fourth Prince would become the winner of the battle for the throne and ascend the throne with the support of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence.

After Yu Shuangbai became the empress, the Yu Clan would be even more beautiful than the Weining Marquis Residence back then.

Not only had the Zhenguo Marquis Residence contributed greatly, but they had also stepped on the corpses of the entire Xie family and become the number one noble of the Great Zhou.

Although Yu Jianjia had taken her mother’s old path and become a second wife, she had also fulfilled her wish to become the Marquis’s wife. There was no greater glory than this.

In this strange scheme, Yu Youyao and the Xie family had paid a painful price.

The blood and tears of her and the Xie family had fulfilled their path to glory.

Even though she already knew very well that this was just a “heartfelt” dream,

Yu Youyao still felt a lingering chill in her heart.

Yu Youyao had an inexplicable feeling.

In the nightmare, the person who was really “born with a phoenix fate” was the adult Yao Yao herself.

Yu Shuangbai had replaced the adult Yao Yao and become the “girl with the phoenix fate.” This was definitely not a coincidence. Then, what role did Madam Yao play?

All of the adult Yao Yao’s tragedies had started with the Flower Festival at Duke Rongs Residence. Then, was Madam Yao involved in what happened at the Flower Festival?

She was not afraid to speculate about others with the greatest malice.

Looking at the situation that the older Yao Yao was in while she was at the Yu Residence in the nightmare, Yu Youyao definitely did not believe that Madam Yao was innocent.
