Chapter 17 Transmigrated as the Half-Sister of the Female Lead in a Substitute Bride Novel



"Master, this is what happened." Xiao Bai recounted the events that had transpired on the female protagonist's side within the space.

His voice carried a hint of schadenfreude.

After listening to Xiaobai's words, Mo Qian's face showed a complicated expression.

I never expected the female lead to end up like this.

Ultimately, it was all his own doing. If he hadn't been so flamboyant at the flower banquet at the Vice Minister's residence, none of what followed would have happened.

As for why the second son of the Marquis's family appeared in the bridal chamber back then.

Mo Qian took a sip of the tea she was holding. A deep look flashed in her eyes.

"Master, now that the female lead is dead, what should we do next?" Xiaobai asked, her face showing curiosity and her voice filled with doubt.

"Yes, the female lead is dead, but those who caused trouble for the original owner have not yet been punished."

Mo Qian replied after hearing Xiao Bai's words, her face still showing a hint of indifference. Her voice was even more detached.

"Is Master right?" Little White asked again in the space, her voice full of curiosity.

“Of course, it’s the most senior person in the Suning Marquis’s mansion!” Mo Qian put down her teacup and continued, her face serious and her voice earnest.

"Master is referring to the old lady of the Suning Marquis's mansion, right?" Xiaobai said immediately after hearing Mo Qian's words.

A hint of surprise lingered on her face. She seemed surprised that the old lady had also gotten involved in the matter of the original owner of the body.

"Yes, it is her." Mo Qian said after hearing Xiao Bai's words, her face serious.

"But Master, aren't you and the old lady the original owner's grandmother? How do we do this?" Xiaobai asked immediately afterward, a hint of doubt on her face.

"Now that the people are living in peace and contentment, and the current emperor is governing well, I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble."

"Just like now, as if nothing ever happened."

"However, since the old lady has interfered in the original owner's affairs, she is naturally worried that things will be exposed."

"Well then, let's leave it at that," Mo Qian said softly, her face indifferent. Her voice was equally cold.

Soon after, news spread throughout the household that the old lady was having trouble sleeping every night.

Even renowned doctors in the capital and imperial physicians in the palace were helpless and found no effect whatsoever.

It was late at night.

In the old lady's room

The old lady was lying on a canopy bed.

His face showed a hint of panic, and cold sweat poured down his back. His hands were flailing about in the air. His whole demeanor exuded fear.

It turned out that in the old lady's dream, the very thing she feared most had been exposed!

After being exposed, those unscrupulous and ambitious people in the court thought of secretly assisting the Earl of Suning to put him on the throne as a puppet emperor in name only!

Thus, through the clandestine machinations of this group, the reigning emperor was deposed.

After that, none of the concubines in the palace or their children met a good end.

When the old lady of the Marquis's mansion saw her own son being dragged into the Meridian Gate and beheaded, her face showed grief!

And she herself did not have a good ending either.

After witnessing her own son's death, she followed in his footsteps.

The old lady of the Marquis's mansion experienced this recurring fate every night.

She had to watch her own son die every night!

And she herself had to endure a death sentence every night!

...

Shortly after that, news suddenly spread that the second young lady of the manor had passed away due to illness.

In reality, Moqian, who should no longer be in this world, has now shed her status as a young lady from a noble family and gone off to roam the martial world, traveling all over the land.

"Brother Mo, do you think my clothes look good?" Xiao Bai asked Mo Qian, touching his new clothes.

His face still showed a hint of excitement. Even his voice betrayed a surge of emotion.

"Not bad," Mo Qian said, sitting in her armchair and eating a piece of pastry from the plate on the table. A hint of helplessness crossed her face, but her voice held a touch of amusement.

Indeed, Xiaobai has been very excited these past few days since she came out of the space.

After trying on several outfits, she still seemed quite enthusiastic.

"Young master, you look exceptionally handsome in this outfit," the innkeeper, who was serving nearby, added, his face showing a hint of flattery and even his voice revealing a touch of delight.

It seemed he was calculating how much he could earn after completing this deal.

Xiao Bai's face lit up with joy after hearing Mo Qian's words.

Then, after looking at the men's clothing hanging on the floor, a hint of liking flashed across his face when he saw a dark blue robe on the right wall.

Then he called to the shopkeeper to fetch it.

After that, I went to a room where I could change clothes and tried them on again.

Not long after, they came out.

He repeated what he had said before.

This went on for several times, until Xiaobai finally stopped after trying on seven or eight satisfactory robes.

Afterwards, seeing the shopkeeper's excited eyes, Mo Qian took out a silver note from her money bag and handed it to him.

When the shopkeeper received the silver note, he saw that it was a five-hundred-tael note and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

He knew that wealthy people were often generous, and these clothes only cost about four hundred and fifty taels in total. He guessed that the rest was for tips!

The shopkeeper thought to himself, a hint of excitement on his face. Then, after receiving the silver notes, he looked at Mo Qian expectantly.

Qi Wangmoqian waved her hand and said, "I don't want the rest of the land, it's yours!"

After seeing the shopkeeper's look, Mo Qian smiled faintly.

"The rest of the land will be exchanged for silver coins." His voice was indifferent.
