Chapter 249: The First Grand Secretary (11)
On the other side, the servants' quarters.
The female protagonist, Qin Yuege, was washing dishes at this moment. Looking at the five or six basins of unwashed dishes piled up next to her, Qin Yuege wished she could smash them all. Since coming to this world, Qin Yuege had been very happy.
She transmigrated into the book.
Before transmigrating into the book, she was an ordinary person with an average appearance. She dropped out of elementary school and worked as a cashier in a supermarket, earning a meager monthly salary that was far from enough to support herself.
However, she had a hobby of reading e-books. Before she transmigrated into the book, she was reading an online novel called "The First Grand Secretary". This novel was still being serialized and told the story of the male protagonist Gu Sui's rise in the officialdom. Because of its special theme, it became a hit on the Internet. Gu Sui's character setting can be said to have gathered all the hot topics, making him one of the most popular paper characters among readers. He is a standard beautiful, strong and tragic character who will gradually grow into a legendary first grand secretary.
She read the story from the perspective of the female protagonist, Shen Yuege. She was extremely jealous of this female protagonist named Shen Yuege. In the original text, her appearance was described as merely pretty, and she was the daughter of a servant in the Shen family. Because the Shen family did not want their biological daughter to marry Gu Sui, she was forced to change her surname and marry in place of him, and then became the woman the male protagonist loved most in his life. Qin Yuege was so jealous of her that she wished she could become Shen Yuege and be with Gu Sui. She went crazy on the internet every day. However, she was not the only one who went crazy. There were many dream girls like her, especially those who dreamed of Gu Sui, whose character was the epitome of perfection, on the internet.
Even when I'm trying to sleep at night, I think about every single scene in the book.
In the book, the character she hated the most was Shen Jiao, who was both stupid and toxic. Her death in the end was incredibly satisfying.
Who would have thought that she would transmigrate into a book, and even into the novel she had read, "The First Grand Secretary," and into the lowly female protagonist, Shen Yuege—no, she's still called Qin Yuege now.
Qin Yuege was overjoyed. She knew everything that was happening in the world, and she was the male lead's official love interest. She was waiting every day for the Shen family to break off the engagement so that she could marry Gu Sui and become his wife.
Therefore, she was unwilling to do servant's work and do these chores every day. The original owner's hands were extremely rough, and there were no cosmetics to buy here. Moreover, the original owner was dark-skinned and had an appearance that was 80% similar to her original appearance. Qin Yuege was very unhappy about this. After all, she also wanted a beautiful face and delicate skin. Who would have thought that even after transmigrating into a book, this physical appearance would still come with her.
But it doesn't matter, the male lead isn't someone who cares about looks. Once she becomes Gu Sui's wife, she'll definitely transform herself into a beautiful woman.
However, after waiting for a long time, the Shen family did not come to find her and ask her to change her surname and marry in her place. During this time, she was lazy and gluttonous, which angered everyone. In the end, she was taught a lesson and then made to wash dishes and do some odd jobs.
Two servants beside her were cracking sunflower seeds and watching her, saying sarcastically, "She doesn't have the life of a young lady, yet she's so pretentious. Doesn't she know who she is?"
"Qianqian, don't talk to her like that. Be careful she doesn't threaten you. After all, she's a future benefactor who will marry someone of exceptional talent. If that happens, we'll be in big trouble."
"Heh, is she daydreaming in broad daylight? A servant should just do her job. Does she think she's some kind of pampered young lady, born with a silver spoon in her mouth?"
When Qin Yuege heard the two mention Shen Jiao, she threw the dishcloth into the water and glared at them, "Shut your mouths! Shen Jiao will no longer be the young lady. I am the noble lady. The husband I am going to marry is the most powerful person in the world."
"Tch, then tell me, who are you going to marry?"
"Gu Sui".
"Gu Sui? Hahahahahaha..."
"Are you still asleep? Young Master Gu Sui is Miss's fiancé. How dare you, a lowly servant, dream of him? You're utterly delusional, have you gone mad?"
"Qianqian, do you know what this is called? This is called a toad trying to eat swan meat. Putting aside your status, just looking at you, you actually want to be Young Master Gu's wife. It's laughable."
Qin Yuege was furious, "You—"
"And you don't know this, do you? It's all over the county. Our young lady and Young Master Gu are in love and will be getting married soon. You'd better wake up."
"Impossible, the Shen family will break off the engagement, they can't be together." Qin Yuege said with certainty. It was clearly written in the book, and she knew these plot points very well. The Shen family would break off the engagement.
The two servants found it even more amusing. "Then you just wait and see. It'll probably be a while before we get to eat at the young lady and her husband's wedding banquet. But before we eat, Fan Jin, wash these bowls clean. We'll need them tonight."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Qin Yuege, who had been squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up and pushed the two of them away.
"Qin Yuege, if you dare not wash the dishes, I'm going to tell the housekeeper that you're slacking off, and you can forget about your monthly pay this month..."
Qin Yuege didn't believe what the two people said and wanted to go and see for herself. To her surprise, she saw Shen Jiao and Gu Sui returning together.
Qin Yuege stared blankly at the man in white.
It was a look she had never seen before, even more beautiful than the most popular celebrities she had ever seen online. She couldn't even think of a single word to describe it.
"Gu Sui, that's Gu Sui."
Gu Sui, the male protagonist of "The First Grand Secretary", is the most handsome man in the book and also Shen Yuege's husband. She is now Shen Yuege, so Gu Sui is her husband.
Qin Yuege's heart was pounding as if it would burst out of her chest. Her infatuated gaze was fixed on Gu Sui, but Gu Sui didn't see her. After all, she was so ordinary and was dressed in servant's clothes.
However, Qin Yuege soon saw the woman being led down from Gu Suicong's carriage.
Shen Jiao.
In the novel "The First Grand Secretary," the villainous female supporting character, who wanted to break off the engagement because she disliked the decline of the Gu family and the male lead's poor health, was a villain. Even though the novel devoted a lot of space to introducing Shen Jiao's beauty, in order to show that the male lead did not love Shen Jiao but was deeply in love with the female lead, Shen Yuege, no matter how many beauties appeared later, or even the princess of the court, they could not shake the male lead's heart. This is also the reason why Qin Yuege was infatuated with Gu Sui and envied Shen Yuege.
However, words are always limited. When Qin Yuege saw Shen Jiao, her heart was filled with a dense, overwhelming jealousy that seemed to drown her.
How can she be so beautiful?
Why is there such a beautiful woman in the world? That face, that snow-white skin, that noble and otherworldly temperament—why does it belong to a supporting female character? And she, the female lead, is like dirt.
The two stood together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Gu Sui looked tenderly at Shen Jiao, while Shen Jiao smiled happily.
Why wasn't the engagement called off?
Why wasn't the engagement annulled? She is Gu Sui's wife, she is the female lead. Qin Yuege wanted to rush over, but was caught by two servants who rushed over. Neither of them expected that Qin Yuege had really gone crazy and actually dared to try to harass the young lady and the young master. If the steward found out, he would definitely break Qin Yuege's legs.
