Chapter 2: The violent and delicate flower in the previous life, the real delicate flower in this life...
Lin Shu subconsciously wanted to hide a steamed bun in her sleeve, but put it back halfway.
Be more promising, be more promising. This is not the end of the world. As long as you have money, you can have as many big white steamed buns as you want.
After having a full meal, Lin Shu crouched down and left the kitchen, returning to the exquisite boudoir of the daughter of the Marquis's mansion.
There was a bronze mirror on the dressing table, and Lin Shu looked at herself in the mirror.
Sure enough, the face is the same.
Everything is the same, except that the strange power awakened in the previous life is gone, and the violent flower has become a real flower.
Lin Shu fell headfirst into the soft mattress with a big smile on her face.
Not only did she save her life for free, but she also returned to the normal world. It can be said that it was a pie in the sky. Not to mention being disguised as a fake daughter of a marquis, even if she was disguised as a beggar, she would be so happy!
Lin Shu slept so soundly that when she opened her eyes again it was already the next morning.
Before he could stand up, Aunt Gui pushed the door open with an old face, followed by two servants with the same donkey faces.
"It's getting late, Sister Shu, get up. Just treat this as your own home and sleep as long as you want, just like before."
"Sister Shu spoke so confidently yesterday that the master and the mistress believed it, but I, this old servant, do not believe it. That is why I have specially asked the master and the mistress to personally send you off."
As she spoke, she threw a set of fine cloth clothes over to me. "Change now. Sister Shu, you can't wear the silk and satin clothes you used to wear. I found these fine cloth clothes for you. Don't say that Madam treats you badly. Not everyone can wear these fine cloth clothes. Only servants like us who are proud of ourselves can afford such clothes."
If the original owner had heard this, she would have screamed and pounced on the old hag to scratch her face. However, Lin Shu looked at Aunt Gui's rosy face, put on a smile, and said softly, "Thank you, Aunt Gui. This fine cloth dress is very nice."
All the survivors in the apocalypse were starving and looked pale and skinny, but Aunt Gui had a rosy complexion. It was obvious that the food she ate was usually very good. Just looking at her rosy face made her feel good.
Aunt Gui drooped her eyelids and cast a sharp gaze on her.
"Sister Shu'er's box of jewelry is useless. In such a remote and poor place, if people knew you brought these with you, you would probably be raped and killed by bad guys." These words were filled with malice.
Lin Shu was unmoved and smiled good-naturedly, "Why is it called poor mountains and bad water? It's obviously beautiful mountains and beautiful water. Look at how well-fed Sister Yao is. Her fine skin doesn't look like she came from a poor mountain valley at all."
Nanny Gui sneered, "Sister Shu, don't you see who Sister Yao came from? This pheasant can't turn into a phoenix, but a phoenix that lands in a chicken coop is still a phoenix. Don't you agree?"
Lin Shu just smiled without saying anything, with a perfunctory expression as if saying, "Oh, yes, yes, whatever you say is right."
Aunt Gui couldn't help feeling depressed.
As the saying goes, a dog will always eat shit. She doesn't believe that Lin Shu has changed her personality. When she is not acting like a troublemaker, she must be secretly harboring evil intentions.
Not only did she think so, but the other servants also thought so.
Although everyone in the mansion didn't know what big mistake Lin Shu had made, they were all shocked when they learned that she was not going to the manor but to Yao Jie'er's hometown.
Is Sister Shu going crazy? Even if Zhuangzi is poor, it's better than digging for food in the fields, especially in such a poor and remote place!
There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Nanny Gui decided to keep a close eye on Lin Shu all the way and prevent her from doing anything bad.
There were three old women in the room staring at Lin Shu without blinking, and Lin Shu couldn't even take a single needle or thread away from the Marquis's mansion.
Lin Shu, empty-handed, smiled shyly. "Without money, I can't go anywhere. The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery also said that the journey is long and arduous. Madam, can you prepare some money for me?"
Nanny Gui's eyes showed disdain. "Don't worry, Sister Shu, we have the guards of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to escort you along the way. They have dry food and water with them, so you won't starve."
What he meant was, you should forget about even a single cent of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.
Lin Shu was speechless. Aunt Gui was afraid that she would take away the gold, silver and treasures and live a happy life somewhere else.
Forget it, she asked for the money to ensure that she could return safely. Since someone is escorting her all the way, it doesn't matter if she doesn't want the money.
"Mammy, before I leave, I want to say goodbye to the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."
When Aunt Gui heard this, she instantly became alert, with an expression that said, "I've finally waited for this!"
"Sister Shu, just give up on this idea! Madam told me last night that she doesn't want to look at you anymore. If you want to save some face, then leave quietly and don't disturb anyone in the mansion anymore."
Lin Shu: ...I can see that, Ma’am, you really hate me.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Shu, wearing a fine cloth dress, took off her pearl hairpins, and walked out of the back door of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion with her face bare.
A half-worn carriage had been parked at the door. It was usually used by the housekeepers to go out on business, but now it was used to take her, the fake daughter, on a long journey.
The guards from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion were already waiting beside the carriage. When they saw her come out, they nodded expressionlessly and motioned for her to get in.
Lin Shu looked around. Just one?
Looking at the appearance and age of this guard, could this be Shi Qing, the strongest fighter in the book?
Shi Qing had followed the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery since childhood, and was highly valued by him. Now in his early thirties, he still hadn't married. Two years ago, he had gone to that small mountain village to bring back the real daughter. But at the time, he also brought two guards and two maids, a total of five people. The carriage he drove was also very exquisite, with two carriages, front and back, and the servants sitting in the back.
Shi Qing is good at martial arts. After joining the heroine's camp, he helped do a lot of things privately.
As for how the heroine recruited Shi Qing for her own use, there are many melodramatic plots involved. For example, the heroine looks very similar to the young Marquis's wife, and when Shi Qing was seriously injured, the heroine helped bandage him.
Hiss, I can’t think about it too much. The more I think about it, the more I feel that there is something green on the top of the male protagonist’s head.
But if Shi Qing escorted her personally, Lin Shu would feel relieved.
"Miss, it's time to get in the car." The cold-faced guard Shi Qing reminded.
Lin Shu, who knew the plot, understood that he disliked her, but Lin Shu was a polite baby, "Uncle Shi Qing, please wait a moment."
The call of "Uncle Shi Qing" made Shi Qing look strange, as if he was very frightened.
Lin Shu looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar mansion in front of her and bowed solemnly.
Although the original owner was a vicious female supporting role and did a lot of bad things, she would not have survived without the original owner's body, so she was grateful that she became Lin Shu.
The Marquis of Zhongyong and his wife were kind and gentle people. Lin Shu owed them sixteen years of raising her. She didn't know if she would have the chance to repay them in the future.
"Master and Madam are not here, who are you trying to impress with this attitude, Sister Shu?" Nanny Gui sneered, pulling a donkey face and said, "Sister Shu, please get in the carriage quickly. It will be crowded soon. Do you want everyone to see the excitement in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Lin Shu: She almost forgot that someone was staring at her with cross eyes.
Lin Shu got on the carriage, followed closely by Nanny Gui. Shi Qing quickly drove the carriage away from the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Inside the car, Lin Shu originally asked jokingly, "Mammy, are you going to take me all the way to the small mountain village?"
Nanny Gui glanced at the blue slap mark on her cheek, snorted coldly, and did not refute, actually agreeing.
Lin Shu was shocked: You are so old, but you are still so busy.
"Mammy, you absolutely love me!"
Aunt Gui didn't say anything, but her eyes conveyed a message: Get out, don't get involved.
The carriage went all the way to the outskirts of the city, then slowed down.
Lin Shu was alert. Could it be that Shi Qing and Aunt Gui were planning to kill someone to silence them?
Fortunately, she soon realized that she was overthinking.
There was someone else who wanted to see her.
Dee, dee, dee.
The sound of horse hooves approached.
On a tall, maroon horse, a young man in a brocade robe looked down at Lin Shu. He was extremely handsome, with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and a golden and jade-like complexion. However, his attitude was cold and arrogant, and there was a deep sense of disgust in his eyes as he looked at her.
This configuration...
There is no doubt that it is the hero of this book - Gu Yian, the prince of the Duke of Yingguo Mansion. Because he has no mouth, the whole book is about a tragic love affair with the real daughter of a wealthy family, with a length of 500,000 words!
When she met that person's eyes, Lin Shu suddenly felt a dull pain in her chest, probably the emotions of the original owner still lingering in her body.
"If it weren't for A Yao's plea, I would never have let you off so easily!" Gu Yian's tone was cold, and the glance he gave her was filled with warning and murderous intent. "A Yao is waiting for you in the pavilion. She has something to tell you. Stop trying to act so slyly. I'll keep an eye on you!"
Lin Shu's heart hurt even more, as if someone had stabbed it with a knife, stirring it violently.
Gu Yian actually wanted to kill her!
This realization caused the remaining emotions of the original owner to reach a peak in an instant, causing Lin Shu to feel so much pain that she could hardly breathe.
Some images flashed through her mind.
They are Lin Shu and Gu Yian when they were children.
The original owner pestered Gu Yian to play house with her and to fly kites with her. When she was still little, she would hold Gu Yian's arm domineeringly, and with her chin held high, she said to the elders of both families: "When I grow up, I want to marry Brother Yian, and no one can compete with me!"
The young Gu Yian replied with a stern face, "I am the prince of the Duke's Mansion. My future wife must be a model of a noble lady, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you can do that, I will marry you when I grow up."
"Why is that so difficult? We agreed that you would marry me when you grow up. If you dare to marry someone else, I won't allow it!"
The elders on both sides were amused by the couple's childish talk and thus made a verbal engagement.
Lin Shu was so upset that she beat her chest like she was performing a chest-breaking rock act. She struggled to squeeze out a sentence: "Gu Yian, let me ask you, do you still remember when you said you would marry me when you were little?"
Gu Yian looked at her with a strange expression, then said coldly, "I don't remember. I couldn't have said such a thing."
It’s good not to remember, it’s wonderful not to remember!
As soon as these words came out, the huge stone pressing on Lin Shu's chest suddenly loosened, and she was able to breathe and feel relieved.
When she read the novel, she thought the male protagonist was incredibly handsome, except for the time when he didn't have a mouth. But now that she's become the fake daughter in the book, and looking at this man from the perspective of a fake daughter, she can't like him at all.
Although the original owner is hateful, the male protagonist is also responsible.
The Marquis of Zhongyong and the Duke of Yingguo were both families of military generals and had a close relationship. Before the real daughter came back, the two families had intended to get married. The male protagonist knew that the original owner liked her, and he tacitly agreed to the marriage. The original owner had declared her sovereignty in front of other ladies and the male protagonist had let it go, so the original owner had always regarded him as her property.
As soon as the real daughter appeared, he fell in love with her for the first time. However, he still didn't explicitly reject the original owner until he finally made his feelings clear. He then told the original owner that he only regarded her as a sister and had never liked her. He wanted to marry the real daughter from the countryside and told her to stop being so unreasonable. Who could stand this?
But it doesn't matter now. She wants to stay away from the male and female protagonists, away from the place of right and wrong, and live her own life in a place far away from the emperor.
"Why, do you want me to ask you again and again?" Gu Yian frowned, impatience flashing in his eyes.
Lin Shu rolled her eyes at him. "If you keep talking to me like that, I'll tell Lin Yao about the time you wet the bed when you were seven."
"You, what are you talking about?!" Gu Yian's noble and arrogant face cracked in an instant.
"We grew up together, childhood sweethearts. If I say you wet the bed at the age of seven, you wet the bed at the age of seven!"
"Lin Shu you!"
Lin Shu had already slipped away like a little chick.
