An hour later, it was dawn.
The east is just beginning to brighten, and the morning light is dim.
When it was time to get up in the morning, the bride had to serve tea to her mother-in-law and pay her respects to the old lady of the marquis's mansion, so early in the morning, Su Wanti was woken up by Su Yue and others to wash and dress up.
Su Wanti was new to the place and not used to being served, but she really couldn't understand the complicated and primitive tools and utensils in this small world, so she could only let Su Yue, Chun Tao and the others fiddle with them.
Su Yue saw how obedient her young lady was, and thought about what happened last night, which was unbelievable.
She was very familiar with the young lady's temper. To put it in a good way, she was gentle, and to put it in a bad way, she was cowardly. On weekdays in the mansion, the young lady was soft-hearted and suffered a lot from the second young lady.
She could never have imagined that the young lady could do something so shocking as beating a servant and chasing away her husband!
Su Yue's eyes were filled with doubts, and she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, we made such a big fuss yesterday. I think the Marquis's wife must have known about it long ago. Aren't you afraid that she will blame you?"
Su Wanti said calmly, "Before I got married, I was loved by my parents and my brother, so I didn't need to be ruthless to establish my authority. Now that I'm married into the Marquis' Mansion, my husband doesn't respect me. If I don't stand up for myself, won't I be eaten alive by these people in the future?"
Su Yue nodded. She had followed Su Wanti since she was a child. As long as Su Wanti gave a reasonable reason, she would believe it.
Soon, Su Wanti was dressed. As a new bride, she was dressed naturally, dignified and festively. She wore a red jacket and skirt embroidered with gold peony and butterfly patterns. It was elegant and exquisite, which made her face even more stunning and beautiful.
Su Wanti looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
Very good and beautiful.
At this time in her previous life, the original owner was still immersed in the pain of being humiliated by her husband and betrayed by her half-sister. She had no intention of dressing up at all. She just washed up hastily and went to meet her mother-in-law.
Compared with Su Ruhua who dressed up carefully, she was at a disadvantage and never brought up this anger again.
"Okay, let's go." Su Wanti curled her red lips and led people towards the main courtyard.
It was only a few hundred steps to the main courtyard.
Su Wanti looked up and saw that in the hall, the marquis's wife was sitting at the top, with the marquis's two concubines, the Xiao family's two aunts, several young girls sitting on both sides, and at the end was a woman dressed in simple and elegant clothes.
This woman is the cousin that Nanny Qin mentioned last night.
Although Nanny Qin called her cousin all the time when she was deliberately causing trouble, Su Wanti knew that she was not the mastermind behind Nanny Qin and the others.
Which thug would mention the mastermind when he goes out to provoke others?
As for who is the main messenger?
Su Wanti knew what was going on.
In the original owner's memory, Nanny Qin later followed Su Ruohua's orders. If she was not the main messenger, who else could it be?
At this moment, someone in the hall laughed and said, "Hey, the bride is here!"
Su Wanti walked forward without looking around. Many ambiguous glances fell on her, some were mocking, some were sarcastic, and some were indifferent, but she pretended not to know.
She bowed with grace and grace, "I greet my mother-in-law, may you be well."
The Marquis' wife knew what happened last night. In this life, she couldn't even put on a hypocritical smile. She just looked at Su Wanti with a cold face as she knelt with her head bowed.
Seeing that the marquis' wife did not give the new bride any respect, the others began to indulge themselves.
"Our bride is quite formidable. I heard she beat up the young marquis's wet nurse right after she entered the house. Such arrogance and domineering behavior is rare to see."
"Tsk tsk, she chased the young marquis away, yet she has the nerve to come see us today. She's dressed so elegantly, wearing all sorts of gold and silver, but it always looks unlucky to me."
"Yeah, I don't think it's noble, I just think it's unlucky."
The two aunts did not hide their feelings and started chatting as if no one was around, causing the girls sitting nearby to laugh and cover their mouths, looking at Su Wanti with a sneer.
Only the cousin looked distressed.
Su Wanti's expression was calm, without any shame or resentment.
Without waiting for the Marquis's wife to speak, she counted silently in her mind, stood up, brushed her skirt lightly, and sat down gracefully.
"Why did you get up without your mother-in-law's permission?" an aunt screamed.
Su Wanti glanced at her lightly, then said to the Marquis' wife with a smile on her face, "Madam Marquis, keeping a bride from kneeling for a long time is a way to torture her. Madam Marquis has always been kind and generous, so she naturally wouldn't treat me like this. I should also stand up in time and not tarnish Madam Marquis's reputation."
After hearing her words, the Marquis's wife choked and didn't know what to say.
The Marquis's wife was dissatisfied and said coldly, "Last night you beat up the two maids of the King of Qin and drove your husband out. Is this true?"
This is a time to launch an attack and hold someone accountable.
Su Wanti smiled and said, "If you break the rules and insult your master, you deserve a beating. Chuntao, you decide."
Chuntao was smart and she repeated word for word what Nanny Qin and Nanny Wang had said in the bridal chamber last night in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
After hearing the latter part, the Marquis’s wife’s face turned pale.
After Chuntao finished speaking, Su Wanti waved her hand, and she leaned forward with her head lowered, very politely.
Su Wanti looked at the Marquis's complicated expression and curled her lips, saying, "Mother-in-law, the servant spoke rudely to the master. Such an evil servant would be beaten and thrown out in my mother's house. I, your daughter-in-law, took into consideration that the two maids are elders of the Marquis's mansion, so I personally taught them a lesson. Please don't blame me for taking the initiative."
"As for driving my husband away..." She glanced at everyone with her beautiful eyes. "My husband took a concubine yesterday. My daughter-in-law tried to dissuade him, saying it was against the rules. My husband became resentful of my daughter-in-law and left in a rage, anxious to see the concubine."
"What?" everyone was surprised.
Xiao Huaihe had kept the fact that he secretly brought Su Ruhua back to the mansion a secret very well. Except for a few close confidants in his courtyard, no one else knew about it, not even the Marquis and his wife.
