To avoid any unforeseen complications, Rong Shiqing shamelessly sent his own daughter to the Marquis's mansion to bring good luck to the terminally ill Marquis, all in the hope that the original owner wouldn't ruin Rong Yiyi and Feng Mo's marriage.
The original owner naturally refused in every way, so Rong Shiqing had someone put a sleeping potion in the original owner's food.
While the original owner was unconscious, they put her in the bridal sedan chair.
When the original owner woke up, they were already in the wedding hall.
Before the original owner could react to what had happened, halfway through the ceremony, Marquis Weiyuan's old illness flared up, and he passed away.
Being labeled a jinx or a jinx is enough to kill the original owner of the body.
Rong Shiqing truly went to great lengths, and all of this was for Rong Yiyi.
When reading the book, Qingqing could still see herself as an outsider, but when she became Rong Qingqing in the book, she felt uneasy.
Why should she sacrifice herself to make the male and female leads happy?
Xiao Tao said somewhat sadly, "I really don't understand what Master is thinking? You are clearly Master's daughter too, Miss... If the Old Madam hadn't fallen ill and been bedridden, Master wouldn't have acted so recklessly..."
Rong Qingqing was taken aback upon hearing this.
If there was anyone in the Rong family who was kind to the original owner, it would be the old lady. Unfortunately, the old lady had been ill for a long time and was unable to manage affairs, which is why Rong Shiqing dared to act so recklessly.
Seeing her mistress remain silent, Xiao Tao, remembering what had just happened, couldn't help but worry. "Miss, what should we do now?"
"We'll just have to take it one step at a time," Rong Qingqing said, also feeling a bit of a headache. This Marquis's mansion was no good place. Although the Marquis had passed away, there was still the ruthless and violent Xie Jingrun, who was the truly terrifying person!
Although they escaped this time, they will certainly not have peace in the future.
She was fortunate that the Marquis had already passed away, otherwise her situation would have been even more unbearable. However, the Marquis died the moment she entered the household, which solidified her reputation as a jinx.
Qingqing was very tired. After getting ready, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
She needs to recover her mental state to cope with what's coming next.
However, she didn't rest for long before there was a knock on the door. Xiao Tao came in carrying a white dress. "Miss, Steward Tian sent this to you. He said you should get ready to go to the mourning hall."
Qingqing reluctantly took the dress.
She had never even met the Marquis, and the wedding ceremony was never completed. Strictly speaking, she was not the widow of the Marquis of Weiyuan.
But now that she has entered the gates of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, it seems that everyone has accepted her as the widow of the Marquis of Weiyuan. If she does not wear mourning clothes for him, those people will surely have another excuse to deal with her.
Qingqing sighed, changed into a white dress, and replaced the hairpins and ornaments in her hair with white flowers.
When I arrived at the mourning hall, the sound of weeping was deafening. The coffin of Marquis Xie Tianlin was placed in the center, with people kneeling on both sides.
Xie Jingrun was not in the mourning hall; only Xie Tianlin's other two children were there.
As soon as she stepped into the mourning hall, she noticed a hostile gaze.
When she looked over, she met Xie Jingyi's hostile gaze.
Qingqing withdrew her gaze and completely ignored her.
Xie Jingyi and Rong Yiyi are close friends, so naturally they are not kind to her.
Ultimately, Xie Jingyi was nothing more than a pawn used by Rong Yiyi.
She knelt down at the designated spot, took the paper money, and silently threw it into the brazier.
When news of the death of Marquis Xie Tianlin of Weiyuan spread, not only did the Emperor and Empress send people to offer their condolences, but officials from the court also came one after another.
