Chapter 433

Translation: Chen Yueyao spent ten years and still couldn't figure out why she was driven out of the Jinyang Marquis Manor.
We need to keep it concise but include all info. "Chen Yueyao spent ten years and still couldn't figure out why she was driven out of the Jinyang Marquis Manor."
Check: "spent ten years time" = spent ten years time. "also couldn't figure out" = also couldn't figure out. "why would she be driven out of the Jinyang Marquis Manor?" = why would she be driven out of the Jinyang Marquis Manor? So translation: "Chen Yueyao spent ten years and still couldn't figure out why she was driven out of the Jinyang Marquis Manor."

Chinese line, then 【229】 comment translation.
Translation: In her previous life she had sought in vain; Wei Mingqiao, whom she had longed for all her life, she now didn't know how he was faring.

Chinese line, then 【233】 comment translation.
Translation: However, soon she learned that he was doing very well.
comment line includes translation.
Because, the other party's maternal grandparents' family, was quickly exiled here.
Through their words, Chen Yueyao learned that Wei Mingqiao was gaining momentum, Wei Mingqiao had obtained the position of heir apparent, and Wei Mingqiao had revived the Huaiyang Hou Fu.
Wei Mingqiao personally escorted grain and fodder to the Northwest battlefield, easing the pressure on the Northwest battlefield.
Wei Mingqiao entered Shanglin Garden, supported and assisted Princess Jiaoyang, regarding the research and development of improved seeds.
……
After hearing that, Chen Yueyao both cried and laughed.
The good news is, the other party has become successful, and is even more ruthless than in the previous life.
His stepmother and the siblings born from the other party were oppressed by him to the point of hardly having any room to move.
The childhood shadows that the stepmother had imposed on their siblings, after Wei Mingqiao became the heir apparent, were slowly returned!
Wei Mingqiao even personally dealt with the maternal grandparents' family, cutting off all of the stepmother's foundation and capital, leaving her unable to cause any trouble.
Wei Mingqiao was ruthless enough; upon learning that the maternal grandparents' family supported the stepmother and the stepmother's younger brother, he directly struck hard, giving the Xu family no chance to recover.
After the Xu family members were exiled to the Northern Territory, they either died of illness or met with accidents.
Within two years, they were almost exterminated.
Although Chen Yueyao didn't inquire in detail, she knew it must have been done by Wei Mingqiao.
The young man she had longed for, the thing that attracted her most in her previous life, was that he was sufficiently ruthless.
The bad news is, even after being reborn, Wei Mingqiao still keeps Sui Sui in his heart!
Sui Sui, Sui Sui, still Sui Sui.
Why?
In the previous life it was her, in this life it's still her?
Chen Yueyao died in the winter of her seventeenth year.
When the news of Sui Sui's marriage to Lù Yǐnxiāo reached the Northern Territory, the whole Northern Territory was celebrating.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Yueyao went mad.
On the night before Sui Sui's wedding, Chen Yueyao slipped and fell into the water.
In the Northern Territory's winter, the river water froze solid.
Some villagers occasionally break the ice to catch fish, seeing if they can add a meal for themselves.
Chen Yueyao, having gone mad, ran to the riverbank, then fell into the chiseled ice hole and never came up again.
The icy river water stimulated Chen Yueyao's nerves, giving her mind a moment of clarity.
She thought: This time, she finally is not fate‑bound, can she be freed?
If, if only she could be reborn.
If she gets another chance, she will surely not live worse than this time.
She definitely will not!
The second watch is at 19:00.
