Chapter 4 I will count to three. If anyone doesn't get up, I will burn this place.
Hongniang's voice brought Liu Mingyue back to her senses. Liu Mingyue collected her thoughts and took out five taels from the purse she carried with her and gave it to Hongniang.
The bride nodded and said softly, "I'm fine. Hongniang has worked hard today. This is a thank you gift. I'm fine here. You can go back."
Her husband's family treated her coldly and humiliated her in public, but Hongniang was still kind to her, and Liu Mingyue had a good impression of her.
Hongniang was surprised to receive the thank-you money. The money given by the Zhou family was only three taels. She said hurriedly, "Thank you, Madam."
After Hongniang left, Liu Mingyue was the only one left in the room. She did not sit there idly, but changed out of her heavy wedding dress and removed her makeup on her own.
Now that she knew she had returned to the time three years ago and was living her life all over again, her next move became much simpler and clearer. She had to find a way to reverse her original trajectory in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Otherwise, based on what happened in her past life, even if she lived again in this life, it would be all in vain.
After Liu Mingyue thought it over, she calmed down. She was no longer as anxious as when she woke up. She took off her hairpins and rings, and did not wait for Qin Zhuoyan. Knowing that he would not come back, she went to bed early.
The next morning, Liu Mingyue got up before daybreak and looked around to see that there was indeed no one serving in her room. In the side room where the servants lived, the windows were open for cool air, and the maid who was supposed to be there to serve was sleeping even more soundly than her master.
Liu Mingyue walked to the table, took the lamp oil and sprinkled it on their quilts. An unpleasant smell filled the room. Liu Mingyue remained calm and said, "I will count to three. If anyone doesn't get up, I will burn this place down."
After the woman said this, she took out a tinder and lit the candle, pretending that she was ready to set their quilts on fire at any time.
Originally, these servants had woken up early, but they were just being lazy and didn't want to get up.
I didn't expect that the Crown Prince's wife would come over by herself and pretend to set fire to it. I was so shocked that I stood up quickly.
Liu Mingyue didn't want to argue with them. When she saw them stand up, she snorted and turned back to the house. Soon, the maid brought the toiletries into the house one by one.
"Where do the Marquis and his wife live?" Liu Mingyue sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked the maid to help her do her hair.
After what happened just now, everyone in the room knew that Liu Mingyue was not someone to be trifled with, so they answered solemnly, "It's in the east courtyard. I'll lead you there later."
The day after she got married into the mansion was the day to offer tea to the master and the queen mother. Liu Mingyue came to the courtyard of the marquis and his wife. Tan Zhuoyan was already seated there. When she saw her coming, she turned her head away in disgust.
Liu Mingyue didn't even look at him, but bowed to the Marquis and his wife first.
Although the two families had a tacit understanding about the substitute marriage, their expressions changed when they saw the large and creepy birthmark on Liu Mingyue's face.
They knew that the girl from the Liu family was ugly, but they didn't expect her to be so ugly.
After saying the auspicious words, he took the tray with teacups from the nanny and raised it above his head: "My Lord and Madam, please have some tea."
The Dingbei Marquis and his wife were very arrogant and were not very satisfied with their son's marriage. When they saw the appearance of the girl from the Liu family, they were even more displeased.
The couple sat high up in the main seats, looking down at Tong Jiuyue with unhappy expressions, obviously looking down on her. In addition to the substitution marriage, they felt that the Zhou family was deliberately humiliating them by letting an ugly adopted daughter marry into the Marquis's mansion.
Although Zhuo Yan is the eldest son of Marquis Dingbei, he is not very well behaved and is not a good person. Everyone in the capital knows this. No family with a little status would marry their daughter to the Marquis's mansion. Marquis Dingbei and his wife have no choice but to accept this marriage.
