Chapter 1: Crossing (1/2)



"Chun Tao, has your young lady woken up yet?"

"Not yet, Madam."

"When she wakes up, take good care of her."

"Yes, ma'am."

Liu Shuning woke up from her dream in a daze, her head still a little dizzy. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw a completely unfamiliar room.

Where is this? Isn't she dead? There was a gas leak downstairs and there was a huge explosion. Wasn't she killed in the explosion?

“Hiss, it hurts!”

A strange memory flooded into her mind, and after receiving all the memories, she realized that she had traveled through time.

The mistress is also called Liu Shuning, the daughter of the Liu family, a big capitalist in Shanghai.

The head of the Liu family, Liu Zhixiong (also the father of the concubine), was a womanizer. In addition to his wife, Wu, he also had eight concubines.

Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Wu, gave birth to a son and a daughter, namely the eldest son Liu Yuchen and the sixth daughter Liu Shuyu of the Liu family.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt have passed away, and the two daughters left behind, Liu Shuqin and Liu Shuqi, are already married.

The third concubine was Liu Shuning's biological mother. She died of heavy bleeding during childbirth.

The fourth concubine was a favored one. She gave birth to the first young master Liu Yuhan and the third young master Liu Yuhao.

Aunt Liu gave birth to the third daughter, Liu Shufeng, and the fourth daughter, Liu Shuyun.

The Sixth and Seventh Aunts were the top consorts in the Yihong Courtyard. They were drugged years ago and became infertile.

The eighth aunt was brought from outside by Liu Zhixiong this year, and she doesn’t have any children yet.

The reason why Liu Shuning was able to travel through the body of his master this time was because his master was too sad last night and died without even being able to catch his breath.

After reading the memories of the master, Liu Shuning was speechless. Wasn't it just a marriage exchange? Why did he make himself angry to death? It was not worth it!

However, why did the name of the concubine's younger sister sound so familiar? Wasn't Liu Shuyu the heroine of the book about the capitalist daughter who went to Hong Kong that she read a few days ago?

And Liu Shuning seemed to have only appeared in the heroine's memories.

In the heroine's memory, Liu Shuning was an unlucky person who died of illness before getting married.

The novel tells the story of the heroine's family who noticed that there was a change in domestic policy direction, sold their property and returned to Hong Kong to start a new business.

Because they left in such a hurry, they didn't have enough tickets. After careful consideration, Liu Zhixiong finally decided to take only his three sons, his daughter Liu Shuyu, Wu and his eighth concubine.

Wu was his legal wife, so he had to take her with him. As for the eighth concubine, she was his favorite, so he couldn't bear to abandon her for the time being. As for the other concubines, he planned to give them a letter of divorce, so that they could remarry in the future.

The remaining three unmarried concubines were also of marriageable age, so they could all be married off.

The Liu family and the Lin family already had an engagement, and Liu Zhixiong planned to marry his most beautiful daughter, Liu Shuning, to Lin Jiacheng, the second son of the Lin family.

Later, he married his third daughter Liu Shufeng to the eldest son of his right-hand man Chen Feng, and married his fourth daughter Liu Shuyun to the youngest son of his benefactor Lu Hongjun.

Liu Zhixiong still likes Liu Shuyun, the fourth daughter, very much. He also carefully selected the Lu family for her. Although the Lu family is from the countryside, Lu Hongjun is a retired veteran who can receive subsidies every month. In addition, Lu Hongjun's three sons all have jobs and are good-looking.

He was also sincerely thinking about his fourth daughter. After all, as the Liu family were capitalists, they could only be safe if they hid in the countryside.

It's a pity that Liu Shuyun didn't appreciate his kindness. When she heard that she was going to marry a country girl, she started to make a fuss. Finally, Liu Zhixiong got angry and agreed to let her exchange marriage with Liu Shuning.

Before Liu Shuning could sort out his memory, voices were heard outside the door again.

"Miss Si, you can't come in. Miss Xu hasn't woken up yet."

"Get out of here, you bitch. I'm going to come in, and I don't see who dares to stop me."

"Miss Fourth, you really can't. That's Miss Fourth's boudoir. No one is allowed to enter without her permission." Chuntao stopped Liu Shuyun and her personal maid from going in.

"Qiangwei, Qiulan, please pull her away. I want to see what your younger sister can do to me." Liu Shuyun was used to being domineering. She usually didn't care about anyone except the eldest son and the sixth daughter.

Chuntao was no match for four people and was soon pulled out of the door. Liu Shuyun also successfully walked into Liu Shuning's boudoir.

"I say, Fourth sister, you are showing off in the wrong place. This is my Tingxue Pavilion, not your Furong Garden." Liu Shuning only had time to put on her coat. Her hair was still draped loosely on her shoulders, with a few strands hanging messily beside her cheeks.

Liu Shuyun folded her hands in front of her chest with a mocking smile on her lips, and said sarcastically: "Hey, I just come here to see you because I care about you, sister." She deliberately emphasized the word "care", and her eyes were full of disdain.

Then, she raised her eyebrows, looked the other person up and down, and continued: "I heard that you were so angry that you almost fainted yesterday. What's the matter, sister? Are you dissatisfied with father's decision?" There was a hint of provocation and gloating in her tone.

"How dare I? Everyone knows that I have always respected my father. My father's benefactor is my benefactor." Liu Shuning clenched her fists unconsciously. She didn't want to get married at all. It was just that she had just crossed over and was unfamiliar with the place. She couldn't escape the marriage even if she wanted to.

It is only 1958, and in the next ten or ten years, her identity as the daughter of a capitalist family will be a hidden danger.

"I heard that the Lu family's hometown is in the Northeast, where the winter is very cold. You should prepare some thick clothes for yourself in the next few days, otherwise it will be a joke if you freeze to death in the Northeast." Liu Shuyun was very proud now, she just liked to see Liu Shuning make fun of herself.

"Since my cheap sister cares about me so much, why don't you give me the new coat you bought. You know, I lost my parents when I was young, and I don't have much money." Liu Shuning pretended to be sad and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Her cheap sister likes to bully people, so she asked her to try the power of green tea.

"You wish. I had to persuade my father for several days to buy me that coat." Liu Shuyun usually spends money lavishly, and the monthly allowance from her family is not enough for her.

"Father is so kind to you, but it's a pity that it will be difficult for your sister to see you in the future."

If Liu Shuning were asked to choose one of the three marriage partners, she would think the Lu family would be the best.

Although the Lu family lived in the Northeast and were still farmers, her identity as a capitalist's daughter could only be hidden in the countryside.

She didn't want to be dragged out for criticism, so she'd better stay low-key before the reform and opening up!

"From now on, our identities will be worlds apart. Don't call me sister. I don't have a peasant sister. Also, I warn you not to play any tricks. The young master of the Lin family is mine."

Liu Shuyun had to persuade Liu Zhixiong for a long time before he changed his mind and agreed to the marriage exchange. He couldn't let Liu Shuning, a cute girl, snatch this marriage away from him.

"Don't worry, I will never miss your Master Lin. I wish you a long and happy life together." Liu Shuning looked at Liu Shuyun with a smile. In the book "The Capitalist's Daughter Goes to Hong Kong", Liu Shuyun's life after marrying into the Lin family was not easy.

The marriage contract between the Lin family and the Liu family was originally between Liu Shuyu and the young master of the Lin family, and the young master of the Lin family also liked Liu Shuyu.
