Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
"Third sister." Liu Yaoyu called out, glanced at Yu Qizhe beside her, and said, "Third brother-in-law, father and eldest brother are in the front hall."
Yu Qizhe nodded and said to Yu Jiao, "I will go to meet my father-in-law first."
As soon as Yu Qizhe left, Liu Yaoyu pulled Shen Wan over. She held Yu Jiao's hand and asked, "Is he good to you?"
Yu Jiao smiled shyly, and Chen Wan took over the conversation and said with a smile: "It's only been three days since we got married, how can it be bad?" She looked at Yu Jiao, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Although I went to your wedding day, you were covered with a veil that day, so I didn't see you."
Yu Jiao also smiled and said, "It's been a while since we last met. How have you been lately?"
Shen Wan sighed softly and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, my father and mother are also looking for someone to marry me."
Yu Jiao smiled foolishly, "Do you have a favorite?"
Chen Wan whispered, "My father has chosen a scholar from Yongzhou, but my mother is not very happy about it. She thinks Yongzhou is too far from the capital. If I marry him, I'm afraid I can only see him two or three times a year."
"Yongzhou, don't say your mother is unhappy. I just don't want you to marry so far away." Liu Yaoyu felt sympathetic. "I was thinking that we could play together all the time!"
Chen Wan scratched Liu Yaoyu's nose and said with emotion: "You are the only one who never grows up."
Liu Yaoyu looked smug: "Isn't it good not to grow up?"
Chen Wan smiled and said, "Great, it would be great if I could never grow up in my life!"
The three of them went to Baoshou Hall in the backyard. Because it was the day of returning to the parents' home, the female relatives were all sitting in the old lady's Baoshou Hall drinking tea. After Yu Jiao went there, she was led by Madam Liu to pay her respects to those ladies. Those who came today were all close to the Liu family, so Yu Jiao heard a lot of compliments.
After a while, Yu Qizhe came to the backyard to pay his respects to the old lady. After he left, the ladies in the house said a lot of nice things to him, some praising him for his youth and promise, and some praising him for his handsomeness and elegance. Yu Jiao sat aside and smiled politely, her face almost stiff from smiling.
Fortunately, Mrs. Liu sent the young people for a walk in the garden, which gave them a sigh of relief.
There are no rare flowers or plants in the Liu Mansion's garden, but there are flowers blooming all year round. It rained yesterday, and the green leaves are lush and green after being washed by the water, which is a pleasant sight.
The three of them sat down in the small pavilion. Shen Wan hesitated and said, "I didn't see Sister Yaozhen today. I heard that there was a funeral in the Cui family. Did Cui Qiong's second brother go there?"
Liu Yaoyu said somewhat depressedly: "We went there yesterday. After all, we are husband and wife. My elder sister went to Cui's house and will return home after Cui Er's funeral is over."
"How can such a good person just disappear like that?" Chen Wan had heard a little about the divorce between the Cui and Liu families, but she was not very clear about it. "My father said that he would go to the Cui Mansion to pay his respects in three days."
"He died of illness." Liu Yaoyu looked at the flowers and plants in the garden and said sadly, "When my third sister first came, she was in this pavilion. Cui Wu and Wei Min were both there, and everyone was very lively. In the blink of an eye, everything has changed."
Shen Wan smiled apologetically: "It's me who shouldn't have brought up this topic. Speaking of Wei Min, she ran away from home again."
"Where did she go again?" Liu Yaoyu asked curiously. All of these ladies from famous families stayed at home obediently, but Wei Min became more and more courageous. It was really enviable.
Yu Jiao also looked at Chen Wan, vaguely feeling that Wei Min's running away from home was related to Gu Yun.
Chen Wan looked at Yu Jiao, and seeing that she didn't care, she said, "It seems that they are chasing after Young Marquis Gu this time. The Wei family went to the Annan Marquis's mansion to ask for someone, which caused some rumors outside. You didn't hear about it?"
"Wei Min and Young Marquis Gu?" Liu Yaoyu was confused. She had never thought of these two people together.
Yu Jiao and Shen Wan were both insiders. Yu Jiao understood immediately and looked at Shen Wan.
I think Wei Min's parents should know what Wei Min is thinking. They went to the Annan Marquis' Mansion to ask for someone and deliberately spread rumors. They must want to help their daughter. In this way, even if Wei Min's reputation is damaged, the Annan Marquis' Mansion is likely to agree to this marriage.
It is really pitiful to see the love of parents in the world.
"Young Marquis Gu is not in the capital?" Yu Jiao asked.
Chen Wan shook her head. "No, he seems to have left the capital. The Wei family servants said it with details. Wei Min rode a horse and chased the young marquis out of the city gate."
"I hope she can get what she wants this time." Yu Jiao said sincerely.
Shen Wan smiled knowingly: "I hope she can get what she wants."
Wei Min is braver than most women. She is willing to risk everything for Gu Yun. Such a selfless and desperate act should have a good outcome.
