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, ...
The maids and old women had heard the quarrel between the two men a long time ago, but because the quarrel was about Mr. Cheng, they pretended not to hear it and stayed away from them.
Liu Miwu turned around and asked, "Sister, do you have any other advice?"
Liang Wushuang bit her lip and said, "Liu Miwu, I know you want to be the governor's woman!"
Liu Miwu fiddled with her fingernails and looked back at Liang Wushuang, "Sister, what you said is really unreasonable. If I tell the governor about it, he'll get angry."
Liang Wushuang stepped forward, looking directly at Liu Miwu, "If you didn't have other intentions, why did you instigate me and the governor? It was you who told me that Li Xiu had a childhood sweetheart in the Jiaofang Division, and it was you who offered to help me deliver the letter to Lu Jin's friend, and it was you who kept instigating me."
She raised her hand and grasped Liu Miwu's wrist. "Do you think I still believe what you said? Even if the governor has many women, who has he given any title to? I am the only one who is Madam Wushuang."
Liang Wushuang came to his senses and thought of the painting in the study, which made him feel more confident.
"You're right, I only have this face." Liang Wushuang's tone also relaxed a lot, and he retorted, "As long as I have this face, the governor will keep me by his side forever."
Liang Wushuang had already torn his face with Liu Miwu, and for the sake of momentary relief, he said, "Do you want to know why? Come with me."
Liu Miwu pried open her fingers and said, "I'll let you go. Why are you being so rude? How is my behavior any different from that of a shrew on the street?"
Seeing that she spoke so confidently, Liu Miwu became curious and followed Liang Wushuang to the study.
The door of the study was closed. Liang Wushuang pushed it open and walked in. He took out the brocade box and placed it on the table.
Liu Miwu watched her open the brocade box to reveal the scroll inside, and wondered what Liang Wushuang was going to do by taking out a painting?
The scroll slowly unfolded in Liang Wushuang's hands and spread out on the table.
Liu Miwu looked at the painting and recognized at a glance that the woman in the scroll was Liang Wushuang, and the brushstrokes of the painting were obviously those of Cheng Gong.
Liu Miwu felt sad. She saw that when Cheng Ying painted, most of his paintings were landscapes, flowers and plants, and he almost never painted portraits.
Saying those words to Liang Wushuang was deceiving her as well as deceiving myself.
Although Cheng Ying kept several women like her, none of them could serve him, and they were kept in his outer house by him as his own women.
When Liu Miwu was looking at the painting, she recognized the face of the woman in the painting as Liang Wushuang at a glance, so she didn't even notice that the woman in the painting was wearing a strange-looking sleeveless short-sleeved shirt.
"Do you see the person in this painting? This painting was painted by Mr. Cheng a few days ago." Liang Wushuang said with some pride.
Liang Wushuang in the painting has a smile as beautiful as a flower and eyes as bright as stars. The whole painting was completed in one go, which shows that the painter had already memorized the person's voice and appearance in his mind.
Liu Miwu looked away with difficulty, took off her mask, and there was a hint of madness in her phoenix eyes. She stared at Liang Wushuang and said, "So what? A woman like you who can only rely on the governor to survive is just admiring the governor's power? If one day the governor falls into poverty, has no power, and can't give you a life of luxury, will you still follow him?"
Liang Wushuang had never seen such a fierce and crazy side of Liu Miwu. He was frightened by her aura and could not help but step back.
She originally wanted to say that the person in the painting was Du Gong's sweetheart, but that person is no longer with us. Since she has this similar face, she will always have a place by Du Gong's side.
But when she heard Liu Miwu's words implying that she had been mistaken for the person in the painting, Liang Wushuang suddenly felt that this was a better idea. Anyway, the person in the painting was no longer around and no one knew her. Sooner or later, she would replace the person in the painting in Cheng Ying's heart.
"How could the Lord Governor, who is second only to the emperor and above all others, ever fall from grace?" Liang Wushuang retorted, "It's the same for you, isn't it? If it weren't for Lord Cheng, how could you have remained the most popular courtesan in Xinglou?"
Liu Miwu smiled contemptuously, it was like talking to a deaf person, the girl from a humble family really had a narrow vision. She didn't want to say anything more, turned around and walked outside.
Liang Wushuang followed him two steps and raised his voice, "What about you? They say actors are ruthless. If Cheng Gong falls into poverty one day, I don't believe you can stay with him!"
Liu Miwu did not turn around. A sneer appeared on her face. Of course she would.
Xinglou had so many wealthy and distinguished patrons, and countless of them spent huge sums of money to redeem her.
If it weren't for Cheng Ying, why would she stay in a place like Xinglou?
After leaving the house, Liu Miwu looked up at the sky. She had already seen the best scenery in the world. Everything else was like the floating clouds in the sky. They were just for looking at and were not worth mentioning.
"Miss Miwu."
A voice came from the side. Liu Miwu retracted her gaze and looked at Lu Jin, "Mr. Lu, why are you still here?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lu Jin's face. A maid had just come out to chase him away, but before he saw Miss Liang, Lu Jin didn't want to leave, so he walked away.
"Miss Miwu, can you give a message to Miss Liang for me?" Lu Jin walked closer and asked politely.
Liu Miwu looked at him and suddenly felt very envious of Liang Wushuang, who could not only be with Cheng Ying, but also have a man who truly cared about her.
"Mr. Lu, you'd better not come here again in the future."
