Chapter 146 After the divorce, I found a better wife. Why are you crying? (1)
As soon as He Zijin entered this small world, he found that everything in front of his eyes was red, blocking his vision, and it was as if there was a red veil on his head.
Could it be that she went straight to the wedding scene?
The only sound was the movement of maids and nannies nearby. He Zijin calmed down and accepted the plot that 001 handed to her.
This small world tells the story of Lü Ruyun, whose father was convicted and executed, and whose family fell into poverty and who went from being an official’s daughter to the daughter of a criminal. She got to know and stay with the young inheritor of the title, Changle Hou Yan’e, and they beat their stepmother who was a hypocrite and kicked their original wife who was an eyesore, and they loved each other all their lives.
As luck would have it, He Zijin's current body is exactly that of the annoying original wife, and now is the time for her to marry the male protagonist.
The plot has already developed halfway, and the hero and the heroine, who is the daughter of a criminal, have already developed feelings for each other. The hero even secretly changed the identity of the heroine, who was the daughter of a criminal and was supposed to enter the Jiaofangsi.
He replaced his loyal maid Shaoyao with Lu Ruyun's clothes and made her suffer for the heroine. Yan E then brought Lu Ruyun back to his courtyard.
Regarding the doubts of everyone in the mansion about Shaoyao leaving the mansion with him but not coming back, Yan E said lightly that Shaoyao had already taken her indenture contract and left the mansion to return home, and he just gave her a ride, after all, she was a maid who had served him for many years.
After this man secretly brought the heroine Lü Ruyun back from the Music Bureau, he felt that Lü Ruyun had been wronged, and planned to take control of her after she entered the mansion so that he could promote her to a concubine.
So on his wedding night with his original self, he left his original self and stayed in Lu Ruyun's room, leaving his original self alone in the empty room on her wedding night.
He Zijin lifted the veil and found out that Yan E had already stayed in Lu Ruyun's room. She ordered her personal maid Guiyue to help her take off the hairpins and heavy wedding dress.
Gui Yue came over after hearing the voice, a little hesitant, "Miss, but the Marquis hasn't come yet, isn't it a bad idea to take off the hairpins and rings now?"
"Nothing, he won't come today."
Right now, Yan E is probably planning a secret wedding for Lu Ruyun, decorating the main courtyard like a wedding ceremony, and worshipping heaven and earth with Lu Ruyun, his maid!
Humph, I was originally Yan E's legally married wife, but Yan E sent me to Qiwuyuan, which is far away from the main house. Instead, it is not far from Rong'an Hall, the home of the old lady of Marquis Changle.
Isn't this telling the people in Changle Marquis' Mansion that the new marquis' wife is not favored and will not live in the main courtyard where the marquis' wife should live, but will be sent to live near the old lady.
On the first day after the marriage, he took Lu Ruyun to force the original body to drink the concubine tea, and went to the government to sign the document of taking a concubine.
What followed was the loving daily life of Yan E and Lu Ruyun. Her original body followed the three obediences and four virtues taught to her by the He family, and worked quietly as the wife of Marquis Changle. Even her natal family, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, was unaware of the fact that her husband favored his concubine over his wife.
She foolishly performed her duties as a marquis's wife and managed the properties of the Changle Marquis' Mansion diligently. The properties of the Changle Marquis' Mansion had been in the red for years and had long been unable to make ends meet.
The previous prosperous days were just living off the past capital. After arranging the marriage between Wanyan E and the original body, the accounts of the Changle Marquis' Mansion showed an obvious deficit.
The old lady of Marquis Changle, Yan E's stepmother, directly threw the mess of Marquis Changle Mansion to the new person when the original person entered the mansion to serve her tea.
She pretended not to know about the deficit, and said that as the mistress of the marquis's mansion, she should learn how to manage the household expenses, and that if she didn't understand something, she could come to her husband again. But when she really encountered a problem, the old lady closed the door and claimed to be ill, and refused to see any guests.
Poor original body, she even lost most of her wedding dowry, and got the reputation of being a mean mistress who could not tolerate concubines and illegitimate children.
Thinking of this, He Zijin stopped Guiyue from moving forward and said, "Let's go and see what important business the Marquis is busy with in the main courtyard."
Before He Zijin entered this world, Yan E used the excuse that he had official business to attend to to delay his arrival at Qiwu Courtyard. In the original plot, he even stayed in the main room because it was getting late, and spent his wedding night with the wife of his dreams.
"Miss, as a newlywed, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to walk around."
Guiyue was worried that her master would act recklessly, which would be detrimental to his future survival in Changle Marquis Mansion, so she tried to dissuade him.
He Zijin waved his hand and said, "The Marquis still has to attend to official business on his wedding night and won't dwell on these mundane matters. We are just here to show our concern for him."
"Yes, I will prepare it right away."
He Zijin was accompanied by a group of maids and nannies, with a maid in front holding a lantern to lead the way. On the way, they met the second wife, Yu, who was walking back to her room to rest, and the third wife, Jiang, who was Yan E's second and third brother's wives.
They looked at He Zijin curiously, who was wearing her wedding dress and traveling with her maids at night, and asked, "Tonight is your sister-in-law's wedding night, why are you traveling with your maids so late at night?"
Seeing that He Zijin looked unfamiliar, the two introduced themselves. After some pleasantries, He Zijin also said, "To be honest with you two sisters-in-law, I came to deliver a bowl of chicken soup to the Marquis. The Marquis had some urgent matters to deal with and has not eaten a drop of rice so far."
In order to put on a good show, He Zijin asked Guiyue to bring the slightly cold chicken soup prepared for her by the Changle Marquis Mansion before leaving.
The servants in the Changle Marquis' Mansion were too good at following their master's lead. He Zijin was not valued by Yan E, and they did not treat her as their mistress. On the wedding night, they only served cold food.
The second and third wives looked at the bowl of cold chicken soup with oil floating on it, and felt pity for the eldest sister-in-law who had just married into the family.
"Sister-in-law, my brother has already started taking a rest a few days ago. How can there be any urgent business?"
"Don't tell me that the servants have deceived you. Why don't you and my third sister-in-law go with you to find your eldest brother and ask him for the truth?"
The Second Lady knew that this was Yan E's excuse, but she pretended to be stupid and pushed the blame on the servants, wanting to go and see what was going on in the first room.
Their second and third wives were not born from the same mother as the first wife, and they were always resentful that the first wife was the eldest and inherited the title of Marquis of Changle.
"Okay, as long as the second and third sister-in-law are willing, I, as their sister-in-law, will be happy to do so."
There were just two more witnesses as Yan E and the maid in the room held a ridiculous wedding that was only for the main wife.
"Couple greetings!"
When He Zijin and the second and third wives arrived at the main courtyard, Lu Ruyun was wearing a red veil and was supported by a maid in the middle of the hall, and Yan E, wearing a wedding dress, was on her left.
When Yan E, the attendant who served as the master of ceremonies, saw He Zijin and the second and third wives entering the main courtyard, the words "The ceremony is over, send them to the bridal chamber!" he said suddenly lost their momentum.
He Zijin stared at the lobby that was decorated in no way inferior to the original wedding hall, sneered, rushed over and slapped Yan E hard in the face as he was saluting.
