她仗着婆母公爹的偏宠，越发不容那爱妾，次次挑衅，势要把她斗下去，反倒因为她的逼迫，世子与那爱妾的爱情更加坚贞，在一次大闹过后，世子一气之下带着爱妾私奔跑了。                                                                                这之后，她成了侯府的罪人，婆母公爹对她失望至极，收了她的管家权，让她养在院子里守活寡。                                                                                而陆令筠，嫁了李侍郎次子后，日子却越过越好，一年后，李闻洵一朝登科成了状元郎，大受皇帝赏识，外调到江南做县令。                                                                                这外调做县令可不是不重视，恰恰是极负厚望的镀金之路。                                                                                尤其是调到江南。                                                                                李闻洵不负厚望，做出不少政绩，一路青云首上，从县令到知府，再到江南巡抚，最后又被调入回京。                                                                                一入京便是西品御史，深得皇帝器重，往后更是风光无二，一路做到了位极人臣的丞相，地位不比侯府低。                                                                                陆令筠便是跟着李闻洵这么一路升了上来，还被李闻洵请赐了诰命，真正是荣耀无双。
