Fang Ruotang, a frail and unremarkable girl from the Prime Minister’s household,
one day found herself pestered by a tiny, cutesy creature called the Mirror of Reversal—
and it star...
"Uncle, my eldest sister is getting married tomorrow. It's a joyous occasion for her. Didn't you come back specifically to see her off? Why bring two women into the mansion on such a happy day to upset her?"
Fang Ruotang has been at the top of the Fang family's food chain since childhood, so she is known for being straightforward and outspoken, saying whatever she wants without being afraid to speak her mind just because Uncle Fang is her uncle.
Grandpa Fang's gaze was serious when he looked at Fang Shengtang, but when he looked at Fang Ruotang, it was gentle and tolerant.
"It's Xiao Liu! He looks taller and has a rosy complexion. I heard he's fully recovered, is that right?"
"Yes!" Fang Ruotang nodded, her furrowed brows not relaxing, and muttered, "Uncle, when you called out to my older sister just now, were you going to scold her?"
Grandpa Fang was taken aback for a moment, then said helplessly, "How could that be? Your uncle just hasn't seen your older sister in a long time and wanted to talk to her."
"Then speak properly! The way you called her 'big sister' made me think you were going to yell at her!" Fang Ruotang pouted and took the teacup that Fang Shengtang had been holding tightly.
"Look how well-behaved the eldest sister is! I told her to smash the concubine you brought back, and she didn't even lift a finger, unlike me, who just smashed it! Humph!"
After saying that, Fang Ruotang deliberately threw the teacup at the twins' feet.
The two little girls screamed in fright and hugged each other.
Fang Ruotang pouted again, but they didn't dare to provoke her aunt, and she certainly wouldn't take it out on them. After all, it's hard being a woman. Although she couldn't fully understand their situation, she was willing to listen to her older sister and show more compassion to women.
Grandpa Fang frowned and scolded, "Shut up, what kind of behavior is this?"
The twin girls immediately fell silent.
They cowered and dared not move or make a sound.
Seeing this, Fang Ruotang became unhappy again, and she grabbed Fang Erye's beard.
"Father, look, look! Both of us are taking concubines, but the two my eldest uncle brought back are so obedient. Why is the one you brought back so rebellious? She even dares to play tricks on my mother!"
Master Fang was both amused and exasperated, bending over to match Fang Ruotang's height.
"Little Six, don't be angry! Dad will explain to you later. Things are definitely not as you think. Dad will definitely give you an explanation."
"Why did you cause such a ruckus at home as soon as you got back?"
Prime Minister Fang and his wife arrived hand in hand.
Grandpa Fang and Second Grandpa Fang stared in disbelief.
Although they had been in contact with their family and knew about their recent situation, some things are better seen than heard. They never expected that their parents had completely changed.
"Father? Mother? You..."
Neither Grandpa Fang nor Second Grandpa Fang could speak anymore.
It was at this moment that they realized their wives were different too. However, because they hadn't seen them for almost a year, and because their wives were young and well-maintained, and were dressed in heavy colors as usual, which concealed their youthful appearance, they hadn't noticed it at first.
"Tsk!" Prime Minister Fang curled his lip, his eyes full of disdain.
"He just got back and he's already causing me a lot of trouble."
The two sons of the Fang family were respectful and filial to their parents, and stepped forward one on each side, each trying to help the other.
Prime Minister Fang flung his hand away, giving me a look that said, "Don't touch me."
"Older than me, and you're helping me up?"
"Please sit down!"
With a smile on her face, Madam Fang gestured for the whole family to sit down.
Fang Ruotang immediately approached Old Madam Fang and began to complain, pointing directly at Wan'er and saying, "It was her, it was her! When she was serving tea to my mother, she deliberately spilled it on her."
Madam Fang didn't even lift her eyelids, and said casually, "Since your mother didn't accept this cup of tea, she naturally can't enter my house. Someone, take her out."
"Second Master!" Wan'er exclaimed in surprise.
Under pressure from his entire family, Second Master Fang awkwardly stepped forward.
"Mother, Wan'er is someone I brought back. Please allow me to handle this privately."
The ever-smiling Madam Fang's expression turned cold. She slightly raised her eyelids and glanced at Prime Minister Fang beside her, saying in a cold voice, "My son has grown up and no longer listens to his mother. Well, old people should be obedient and not interfere in everything. So be it!"
“Mother, that’s not what I meant!” Second Master Fang immediately stated.
Madam Fang's face darkened. "Then what do you mean?"
Master Fang racked his brains, but could only stammer and fail to utter a word.
Fang Ruotang's heart sank deeper and deeper, and she finally couldn't help but call out the little mirror.
[What's going on? Isn't my father the most filial son? Why isn't he even listening to my grandmother? What is he trying to do? Could this Wan'er be his true love? Is he really going to favor a concubine over his wife?]
What are you thinking about, Dad...?
The little mirror said a few words, then made a meaningful sound and stopped talking, which made Fang Ruotang anxious, so she poked him hard.
"Speak up! If you keep me in suspense, I'll beat you to death!"
Everyone else in the family was fine, but it was the first time that Grandpa Fang and Second Grandpa Fang had heard Fang Ruotang's true feelings. The two of them stared straight at her, almost as if they were trying to bore a hole through her.
"Ahem!" Prime Minister Fang glared at the two men warningly.
The two brothers then became more restrained.
Especially Master Fang, who subconsciously looked at Wan'er, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had no reaction.
Your dad's selling himself to get information!
【What? 】
[That woman named Wan'er is not from this world. You've seen so much of the entertainment from the last world, you should be familiar with the term "time travel," right?]
【What? ! 】
Fang Ruotang let out a strange cry and couldn't help but rush to Wan'er's side.
A pair of large eyes stared at her, looking her up and down, then up and down, but couldn't see anything different.
So, is she from my previous world?
Yes, she can say many strange and unusual things. Your father thought she was extraordinary, and seeing her ambition to marry into a higher social class, he deliberately took her as a concubine and brought her to the capital, intending to hand her over to the Crown Prince for interrogation.
"Is my dad crazy?! With me around, what strange and wonderful things might I not know? I might even be better than her! Does he really need to sell his body and make my mother sad and upset?"
Your father didn't go that far; after all, he wouldn't dare touch this unconventional woman.
How to say it?
She told your father that arranged marriages were wrong, and that betrothal was unacceptable. She encouraged him to divorce his wife and marry her, telling him that the one who isn't loved is the third party in a relationship. How could your father accept such things?
Fang Ruotang: ...
Why do I suddenly feel a little sorry for her father?
So my dad didn't do anything to betray my mom?
【No! 】
My uncle probably doesn't have any either, right?
Fang Ruotang looked on with anticipation.
The little mirror ruthlessly shattered her beautiful dream.
[Yes! And he even slept with two women in one night. Your uncle is more of a womanizer than anyone else, and right now he's really into these twin sisters!]
Fang Ruotang narrowed her eyes and glared at Grandpa Fang.
"Uncle, you've disappointed me so much..."
