Chapter 2: Wedding Robbery
"Second sister."
Just as the old lady said, Luo Zhen called Luo Fu as soon as she walked out of the yard after dinner.
There was no maid or servant around her, as if they were waiting outside.
Luo Fuyi bowed: "Big sister."
Luo Zhen smiled at her and said to the maidservant Ren Dong who was standing next to Luo Fu: "I have something to say to my second sister, please leave first."
When Luo Zhen said those words, Rendong was standing outside. She didn't know what was happening to her masters and didn't think much about it. She looked at Luo Fu and when she nodded, she bowed and retreated.
After Honeysuckle left, Luo Zhen turned his gaze back to Luo Fu.
The sunlight shone on her, and her unmade-up cheeks looked plain yet extremely beautiful.
Just because she was full of energy and blood, her cheeks looked like they were stained with rouge, and were always pink.
They had just finished their meal and were still warm, so the pink and white colors became more vivid, giving rise to another kind of captivating beauty.
She was not plump, and because of laziness, she only wore a worn-out moon-white silk shirt and a white gauze skirt with a few hibiscus petals floating on the front and back of the skirt, but she was still very graceful.
Her dark hair was tied up in a simple bun, without even a silk flower on it. Only two red beads and silver studs were adorned between her ears, which complemented her red lips.
At this moment, her dark, bright and clear eyes were looking at her, waiting for her to speak.
Luo Zhen's heart choked.
The prepared words turned into deeper hatred.
Her second sister had no ambition, was uneducated, lazy and sleepy. Although she was extremely beautiful, she looked down on her at all.
This kind of fool who has beauty but no brains will sooner or later be tortured to death by the women in the back house after she gets married.
But such a fool could meet one of the rare infatuated men in the world.
This man not only protected her throughout her life, but also won her the position of queen.
Yes, the back position!
The queen position that women dream of!
This man is the current Captain Pei Ji!
And what about her.
She entered the palace, used tricks, competed with wisdom, and spent money. She didn't know how many of her close associates died before she could climb to the position of concubine and meet the emperor.
It was a scene where he had a headache and broke the neck of a concubine, causing her to be skinned and hung in the palace.
She was so frightened that she couldn't control her screams.
Before she fainted, she saw the emperor's bloodshot eyes turn to her...
Luo Zhen's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and she tried her best not to think about the extremely horrifying scene.
This was all a dream she had.
It was her uncle's birthday, and she was going to Qingzhou with her mother to celebrate his birthday.
But I had this dream that night.
She was so frightened that she was out of her mind and didn't even dare to get out of bed.
There was no time to delay celebrating my uncle's birthday. My father was already busy with official duties and couldn't go, and my mother couldn't be late either. So even though she was worried, she couldn't stay with her all the time. She just asked the people around her to take good care of her and took her younger brother to Qingzhou first.
After her mother left, she was haunted by this nightmare for three consecutive days.
It was not until today that I stopped and my mind became clear again.
In the past, she would never have been so rash to run to her father and the old lady to discuss the marriage exchange.
The dream was so horrifying that the only thought in her mind was "Don't enter the palace". So she ordered the maids and the old women around her to leave and ran over.
Now that I've calmed down, I realize that something is wrong.
But it's done, and sooner or later the relationship will have to change, so it's no big deal.
This is a good opportunity to teach that fool Love a lesson and stop trying to seduce her husband with such a coquettish look.
"Second sister, did you hear what I said to Father and Grandmother?"
Luo Fu knew she would have to deal with her for a while, so she simply walked towards the garden to digest her food. "What does Big Sister want to say?"
Luo Zhen hurried to catch up. Seeing that she was looking at the peony, she went forward, plucked a peony, and asked with a smile, "Second sister, do you know what this peony means?"
Love shook her head: "I don't know."
Luo Zhen's face froze.
It's like throwing a wink at a blind man!
She had to be more straightforward: “The peony is the beauty of the country, and is the match of the mistress of a family and the mistress of a country.
"Second sister, you should know that I am the legitimate daughter and you are a concubine. I am the eldest and you are the youngest. My mother is the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, a distinguished family in Qingzhou, and is now the mistress of the family. Your aunt is only the daughter of a hunter and was a concubine in her lifetime. Tell me, who should marry this Peony, me or you?"
Here it comes again, emphasizing the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children.
Luo Fu was already used to it. Her eyes fell on the red rose buds, thinking that she could pick some in a few days to make rose water. She responded with, "Big sister deserves it."
Seeing that she was as obedient as ever, Luo Zhen nodded with satisfaction, raised her hand and slowly stroked Mudan, saying: "Since that's the case, you must also know that you can't snatch away the things I like, so naturally, you can't snatch them away either.
I am the legitimate granddaughter of the Cui family, a prominent family in Qingzhou, and the eldest daughter of the Yanzhou Censor. My brother is the Censor's only legitimate son. This entire Luo Mansion will belong to my brother from now on, and naturally to me as well. Now that I'm attracted to Pei Ji, you should be more sensible and don't let me see you seducing Pei Lang with your seductive charm, otherwise don't blame me for not considering our sisterly love!"
She finished speaking slowly, a smug smile on her lips, and raised her eyes: "Luo Fu, do you understand..."
Luo Fu was picking peonies, and there were already several on her handkerchief. It was obvious that she didn't hear what she was saying, but she was nodding in agreement.
Luo Zhen felt a lump in her chest and was in no mood to finish her last sentence. She glared at Luo Fu, but she was busy picking flowers. The lump in her chest finally dissipated.
She was also confused. Pei Ji was hers in this life, and the Queen was also hers. Why should she get angry over such a fool who was destined to have a short life?
