Chapter 9 Cinderella's Comeback (Part 9)



Before her marriage, Wang Mu enjoyed drinking tea and chatting with her companions at the riverside pavilion. One evening, on her way home, she encountered Master Qin, who was returning from running errands. Both were young and in a hurry, and tragically, they bumped into each other, resulting in the man running over the woman. Wang Mu, anxious to get home, didn't think much of it, got up, dusted herself off, and left without even seeing the man she'd bumped into. But Master Qin remembered this incident.

It was getting dark, and they were in the shade of a tree, so Mr. Qin didn't see clearly before the Queen Mother hurriedly left. As time passed, both of them gradually forgot about the incident. Unexpectedly, several years later, they bumped into each other again in the shop in a dramatic turn of events. The similar scene reminded Mr. Qin of the previous encounter, and after a conversation, they became acquainted.

They occasionally had business dealings after that. It wasn't until he heard that the Queen Mother wanted to remarry that Master Qin came to propose marriage.

After hearing these words, Xiang Wan didn't feel there was much affection between the two. However, in the story she had received, Qin Rong said that the Queen Mother had seduced Master Qin, meaning they must have known each other before Qin's mother passed away. She was just too embarrassed to ask. She rolled her eyes and nudged Xiang Xia, hoping she would get some more information.

Xiang Xia was listening intently and, not knowing what Xiang Wan was planning, glanced at her with some confusion.

"Do you still have any questions?" Wang's mother noticed the interaction between the two sisters and said, "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush, I don't buy that."

Xiang Wan gave an awkward smile, carefully considered her tone, and asked, "Mom, when did Mr. Qin's wife pass away? Before that, had Mr. Qin ever visited our home?"

"Hmph, I knew you'd ask that." Madam Wang chuckled, rolled her eyes at Xiang Wan, and then continued, "His wife is seriously ill, so he always needs to go to the shop to buy some medicine or get some supplies, right? That's how they became acquainted, wasn't it?"

Seeing Xiang Wan's thunderstruck expression, the Queen Mother spoke again: "Don't worry, your mother isn't the kind of person who takes advantage of others in their vulnerable state. Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until now to find someone to marry. To be honest, she never even thought she would marry him in the first place."

Xiang Wan and Xiang Xia looked up together, looking at the Queen Mother with a puzzled expression.

"Master Qin is a shrewd businessman, but not a good husband. However, he is quite responsible, and he also has some genuine feelings for me. Remarriage is never easy, and if we can complement each other, there will be fewer conflicts."

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Xiang Wan felt relieved. As long as she wasn't blinded by love, she wouldn't lose her composure in the future.

After the mother and her two daughters talked, they all felt more at ease, and when they went with Master Qin the next day, they were no longer so helpless.

Xiang Wan was quite young when she transmigrated, while Qin Rong was even younger. If she had been more cautious from the start, she certainly wouldn't have repeated the mistakes of the original story. However, Xiang Wan wasn't here solely to change the ending; she also wanted to alleviate the original owner's resentment. Of course, she couldn't just defend without attacking. As for how to attack, Xiang Wan, who hadn't experienced much intrigue and drama, was a little apprehensive. Fortunately, she had the system.

Huh? Come to think of it, Xiang Wan hasn't asked how to use this system called 007 yet. She has to make use of this advantage, otherwise this time travel wouldn't have been a waste.

Having made up her mind, Xiang Wan decided to call 007 out for a stroll whenever she had free time, so he wouldn't get moldy.

007, whose system privileges were restricted, couldn't help but shudder.
