The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 955: Chapter 932: Top Student of the ’80s 60_2

Many people also wanted to know about Xiao Yuan’s family situation, but since Anning’s identity was confidential, everyone didn’t know and remained curious all along.

Now that Anning’s identity has been revealed, naturally, many people have found out who Xiao Yuan’s wife is.

Moreover, many people online have shared stories about Xiao Yuan and Anning, knowing that Xiao Yuan voluntarily returned to family life for his wife’s peace of mind, dedicating himself to household chores and caring for kids and elders, apart from writing books over the years. At this point, many people were moved by the couple’s mutual affection.

Many girls online are shouting about what kind of immortal love this is.

Additionally, many of Anning and Xiao Yuan’s young photos were posted online.

At that time, standing together, the man was exceptionally handsome, and the woman was incredibly beautiful; they appeared to be a perfect match, as if there were no one else in the world meant for them.

Many young people online were extremely fond of the couple.

Some literature-loving young people even wrote numerous love stories inspired by the couple’s tale, and one of them was even turned into a TV drama.

When Anning and Xiao Yuan passed away, many people came to bid farewell voluntarily, and the wreaths outside the funeral home piled up densely along the roadside.

Even many years later, whenever people mentioned Anning and Xiao Yuan, it would still be met with sighs and admiration.

Anning once again arrived in the chaos, she seemed to feel some emotions from her original self.

Her original self felt happy and joyous.

She knew that if she rid herself of those extreme cases, she would live so well, she was truly grateful to Anning.

When the emotions of her original self disappeared, Anning saw Xiao Yuan.

The two stood staring at each other in the void, with a smile, their figures gradually faded.

Once Anning opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a bed.

All around her was pitch black, feeling the bedding under her, Anning knew she had arrived in ancient times.

Upon feeling again, Anning felt someone lying beside her.

Just as she thought to move, her hand was taken by someone.

”It’s me.”

A somewhat hoarse voice reached her, and Anning relaxed completely.

This time, Xiao Yuan actually came over with her, and they should be spouses, thus saving her much trouble.

Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Anning in his arms: ”Close your eyes, have a good rest.”

But how could she rest, the original memory hadn’t been received yet.

Anning closed her eyes and quickly received some memories of the original owner.

This time, Anning and Xiao Yuan were indeed spouses, yet a pair disliked by their parents, ultimately abandoned.

Not only Anning and Xiao Yuan were abandoned, but their children as well.

The original body of Anning was called Liu Anning, her husband Xiao Yuan was the third master of Duke Ping Mansion.

The previous Duke Ping, that is, Old Duke Ping, was still alive, and Duchess Ping was alive too, but because Old Duke Ping seemed to have done something wrong, he gave the title to the current Duke Ping, Xiao Jue, who was Xiao Yuan’s eldest brother.

Old Duke Ping had six sons, Xiao Jue and Xiao Yuan, as well as Lao Si, Xiao Jin, were legitimate sons, while Lao Er Xiao Su, Fifth Xiao Fang and Lao Liu Xiao Ling were illegitimate.

Speaking of which, Lao Er Xiao Su was actually the favorite of Old Duke Ping, because Lao Er’s concubine was the true love of Old Duke Ping, a distant cousin.

When Lao Er Xiao Su’s concubine was alive, even Duchess Ping went through a lot of hardships.

But the fate of that concubine was not good; she passed away shortly after giving birth to Xiao Su.

Even so, Old Duke Ping still cherished Xiao Su like something precious.

The remaining Xiao Fang and Xiao Ling were not particularly cherished, but also were not treated unfairly.

Xiao Yuan, as the legitimate son, not only was not favored by Old Duke Ping, but also not liked by Duchess Ping, his days at home were even worse than those of his illegitimate brothers.

Xiao Yuan’s original self was honest and didn’t compete for anything, simply doing his duty was enough, he didn’t bother with anything else, living like an invisible person.

Later when marrying, Duchess Ping didn’t give him a proper selection, just chose an equally honest woman, Liu Anning, daughter of the poverty-stricken Imperial Censor Liu.

This couple married and have now been together for about ten years, both honest, yet can bear children.

Imperial Censor Liu hailed from a farming family with very humble beginnings, so poor that he couldn’t even afford a full meal while studying, Anning grew up till about ten years old in the countryside, working in the fields and cooking, versatile in everything.

Perhaps due to growing up in a farming household, her body was more robust than the boudoir girls in the Capital.

Liu Anning, after marrying Xiao Yuan, soon became pregnant and within a year gave birth to a pair of twins. Their eldest son, Xiao Ying, and eldest daughter, Xiao Fu. A year later, they had their second son, Xiao Rong, followed by their third son, Xiao Yun, and later their youngest daughter, Xiao Yin.

This couple practically had a child every year, being the most prolific in Duke Ping Mansion, and all are legitimate.

Despite Xiao Yuan being honest, and Anning born poor.

The couple indeed had a close relationship, Xiao Yuan knew neither his father nor mother liked him, so he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his wife and children, treating his children exceptionally well, without devious thoughts, never going to the brothel, not even having a mistress, making them the cleanest in Duke Ping Mansion.

If no changes occurred, Xiao Yuan and Liu Anning could have lived on as they had.

Even if not favored by father or mother, once Old Duke Ping passed away, the mansion would definitely split the family estate, and Xiao Yuan as the legitimate son would surely get his share, living a life of moderate wealth, a family together safely and happily.

Yet, changes occurred abruptly.

In no time, Duke Ping Mansion would be confiscated, the entire family exiled to Southern Yi, where on the way into exile, Anning’s eldest daughter Xiao Fu was framed by the eldest branch Xiao Lian, losing her honor, and beaten to death.

The second son Xiao Rong was also kidnapped by mountain bandits because of his good looks.

Upon reaching Southern Yi, the eldest and fourth branches claimed their health wasn’t good to shirk work, placing all burdens on the third branch; the second branch under Old Duke Ping’s protection managed to survive.

The third branch’s couple, being honest and reticent, did more work yet said little, ultimately dying of exhaustion.

Upon the couple’s death, their children were further exploited by the other branches, none of them met a good end.

Anning and Xiao Yuan after absorbing the original owners’ memories, glanced at each other.

Xiao Yuan then patted Anning’s shoulder: ”Sleep.”

The two didn’t converse more, first getting enough sleep to replenish their energy was crucial.
