Half asleep and half awake, Li Wei smelled the cool fragrance of lily of the valley, as clear as morning dew.

Then, the sense of touch of the body gradually returned.

It feels like sunshine is falling on my body, warm and comfortable.

She slowly opened her eyes, propped up her upper body, and looked around.

A large carved wooden bed, velvet curtains, exquisite and elegant furniture, and intricately patterned cashmere carpets...

If she were to give her evaluation, it would be just two words... advanced.

"Is this, here we are?" Li Wei muttered softly, feeling a little unreal.

She slid out of bed, tugged at her off-white silk nightgown, walked barefoot to the open window, and looked out curiously.

Suddenly, a mirror-like lake came into view, and the morning mist floated on the water like fine yarn.

A few wild ducks flapped their wings, creating tiny ripples.

Further away, on the other side of the lake, a tower stands tall, with lush trees and red-roofed houses scattered around it.

From a distance, it looks like a Constable painting.

Li Wei felt a state of "vigorous vitality and flourishing of all things".

[Wait, why do my feelings about the beautiful scenery have a Fenghua accent?]

There was a sound of a door opening behind me.

Li Wei turned her head suddenly, and all the muscles in her body tensed.

But what he saw was a face that was 50% to 60% similar to his own.

But this face lacks the youth and vitality that a young girl should have. Instead, her skin tone is dark, her eye sockets are sunken, and there is a dark spot under her eyes, as if she hasn't slept well for a long time.

Those eyes were empty and stared straight at Li Wei, which made her feel uneasy and she became alert unconsciously.

Finally, the girl spoke, her voice cold: "Put on your clothes and go downstairs."

After saying that, she turned around and left. Her dark grey home dress made her back look thin and gaunt.

Especially the knees and ankles, because the calves are too thin, the joints appear particularly prominent, which looks a bit awkward.

[She is, Jiang Xue? What happened to her?]

Before I had time to think about it, two British women dressed as maids walked in, each holding a tray with clothes and toiletries on it.

The two of them glanced at Li Wei, said nothing, put down their things and left, so cool and aloof.

[Oh my god, what a temper...]

-----------------

Half an hour later, Li Wei and Jiang Xue sat face to face on wicker chairs beside the lawn in the yard.

The two of them wore identical dark grey home dresses, had the same old-fashioned hairstyles, and had the same expressionless faces.

Standing next to him was an expressionless middle-aged butler, who looked Chinese. He had a serious face and seemed difficult to talk to.

The British maids disappeared, and the huge manor was now silent.

Finally, Jiang Xue took the lead in staying in Bengbu, with a hint of death in her voice.

"You don't need to imitate me, just learn some etiquette. My mom asked me to talk to you about family matters, but I'm not in the mood right now. We'll talk to you tonight."

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the housekeeper next to her and said, "He is from the Gu family. He will teach you what you should learn and what you should know."

Li Wei's mind flashed with the image of a 1.5-meter-tall sergeant, and she made a similar expression on her face, even more depressed than Jiang Xue. "That's unnecessary. I'm not in the mood... You're so cool..."

“...Don’t imitate my way of speaking...” Jiang Xue’s mouth twitched slightly.

Li Wei rolled her eyes, "...Don't be so self-indulgent..."

"You!" Jiang Xue was so angry that she jumped up and down, but finally she became a little more lively.

She took two deep breaths and sat back down, "Here's the thing!"

As she spoke, she pulled up an oversized handbag that looked very expensive from her feet.

Bang!

The bag was smashed onto the stone coffee table between the two of them.

"These are the things you bring back to your country to prove your identity!" she said unhappily.

Li Wei stretched her neck and wanted to open it to take a look, but she felt it was not appropriate.

The butler beside him spoke at this time, "Miss Jiang, according to the agreement, you have to explain to our young lady the origin and purpose of these things."

"Young Madam?" Jiang Xue's face was full of sarcasm. "Her? Just a scapegoat!"

She looked reluctant and wanted to leave.

However, under the pressure of the housekeeper's sharp gaze, Jiang Xue compromised.

She reached into her orange handbag unhappily and took out an ordinary-looking women's belt.

The belt was about three fingers wide, and the buckle was two golden rings side by side, slightly larger than a one-dollar coin.

It doesn’t look very good, but there is an indescribable feeling about it.

Jiang Xue glanced at Li Wei and saw that she looked confused, with a hint of mockery on the corner of her mouth.

"This is the standard soft sword of the Jiang family, and the cost of a single sword exceeds 10 million yuan." Jiang Xue said.

"Sword? Ten million?" Li Wei was shocked, her face full of question marks.

[Fuck, they're going to make such a big deal right from the start?]

......

Jiang Xue was very pleased with Li Wei's reaction. Look at how ignorant she is. A pariah is a pariah!

Ever since she saw Li Wei, she wanted to tear her face off.

Why?!

Why could she, a lowly person, marry Gu Jinzhi and become the young lady of the Gu family?

Why should I give up my identity to her?

Why... is she so much prettier than me! ?

It was me who was obviously engaged to Gu Jinzhi! Even if I didn't want it anymore, it was still my thing, and it wasn't the turn of a lowly person to pick it up!

Even if Li Wei was just a scapegoat! Even if the entire marriage was a sham! Jiang Xue couldn't accept it!

Unfortunately, she didn't dare to do anything to Li Wei...
