Chapter 2 Mind Reading
Shu Wan was really hungry.
After the maids helped her sit on the bed, she collapsed on it and searched the room for food.
"Hurry, hurry, bring me something to eat." She pointed at the wedding cakes on the table and said, wishing she could put them all into her stomach in the next second.
The maids looked at each other in bewilderment! "Hurry up!" Shu Wan shouted again.
"Yes." The maids did not dare to disobey and had to do as she said.
Shu Wan seemed to sit on something, which hit her butt.
She moved her butt to look, and saw a lot of dates, peanuts, longans and lotus seeds scattered on the bed.
She had forgotten that these were necessary auspicious items for marriages in ancient times. These four things meant the early birth of a son.
But it might be a bit sad for her.
She picked up a peanut, peeled it and put it into her mouth. It was delicious.
Natural things without pesticide pollution are delicious! The servants in the room looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.
"What are you looking at me for?" Shu Wan asked in a reproachful tone, then reached out to take the pastry.
Next, the maids watched her wolf down a plate of pastries.
Isn't the Shu family the richest family in Blackwater City? Don't they have cakes to eat on weekdays? Why does Shu Wan look like a starving ghost, as if he has never seen this thing before?
Shu Wan didn't care about their looks and just focused on eating his cakes.
She was really too hungry. She didn't know what the original owner was thinking to starve herself to this extent.
It is too stupid to go on a hunger strike just to piss off others.
Shu Wan ate three plates of pastries before she stopped. She pointed at the tea on the table and was speechless because she was choking.
The maid quickly poured her some water, and after Shu Wan took a few big gulps, she felt a little better.
Although she was not full yet, she did not eat any more because she wanted to save her stomach for her chicken soup.
If she doesn’t finish eating the chicken today, she won’t be called Shu Wan.
The housekeeper was quick in his actions. Soon, he stewed the rooster and sent it to Shu Wan. He also thoughtfully added two side dishes and a bowl of white rice.
Shu Wan sat down without any hesitation and ate the chicken cleanly. He didn't eat much of the side dishes and rice.
Her target was the chicken. She wanted to show Rong Chen that she was not someone to be bullied.
After eating and drinking, she finally had time to lie down on the bed and think about what to do next.
She was inexplicably transported to this continent that did not exist in history. How could she find a way to go back?
In this age where the wife is the head of the husband, she cannot survive.
Besides, with the attitude of her nominal husband towards her today, she will surely die of grievance in the future.
She and Rong Chen didn't even get married today, so this marriage should not count!
If she wanted to leave, it should be easy.
Shu Wan decided to take a nap first and make plans tomorrow. The original owner's body was really too weak. Now that she was full and had enough water, she would just sleep for three days and three nights.
"Ah, this Miss Shu is really pitiful. She is not favored by the city lord. I am afraid that her future life will be miserable!"
Shu Wan was just preparing to have a good sleep when he suddenly heard a maid next to him speak like this.
Shu Wan opened her eyes and thought to herself, "Sister, can you say bad things about people behind their backs? Why are you saying it in front of me? Don't I have any dignity? Young people don't have martial ethics."
She turned her head to see who was doing that, but her sudden movement startled several maids in the room.
"Madam... do you have any other instructions?" The person who was asking the question was the one who just said that Shu Wan had a bad life. She carefully asked Shu Wan what was the matter.
"What did you just say?" Shu Wan was a little confused and asked subconsciously.
"Madam, do you have any other instructions?" She answered the question respectfully again.
"Not this one, the previous sentence." Shu Wan asked again.
"The previous sentence..." The maid was confused. "To reply, Madam, I didn't say anything just now. Did Madam hear it wrong?" She thought to herself that Shu Wan must have heard it wrong, because she didn't say anything just now.
This time, it was Shu Wan's turn to be stunned. Could it be that she was really hallucinating?
Her behavior also scared the maid in front of her, and the maid looked at her as if she was facing a great enemy.
"Why is the city lord's newlywed wife so strange? Why is she looking at me like that?" At this time, Shu Wan heard the maid in front of him speak again... No, the voice.
"What did you say?" Shu Wan raised his voice and asked again.
"I didn't say anything!" the maid answered, but seeing Shu Wan like this, she thought that Shu Wan was unhappy, so she knelt down and apologized.
She knelt down, and the other maids in the room followed suit.
Shu Wan looked at the maids kneeling in the room as if she had seen a ghost.
"I clearly didn't say anything, why is Madam like this? Could it be that she is upset because the city lord ignored her today and is deliberately looking for trouble?"
Shu Wan heard the maid's voice again.
"The city lord's newlywed wife is really difficult to get along with. She takes her anger out on us servants. What does it have to do with us?"
Shu Wan turned her gaze to another maid.
"What bad luck! I thought I could get some benefits, but I didn't expect that not only did I not get the reward, I'm afraid I'll suffer."
"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Shu family has a bad temper. You should be careful around her in the future."
"Not only did they not give us the reward, but they also tortured us servants. What kind of people are you!"
…
Shu Wan was confused for a while, and then she seemed to understand a fact.
She seems...
She can hear what others are thinking! She can read minds! It seems that God has been kind to her. She even has a golden finger when she travels through time. In this case, she can take the initiative when dealing with others in the future.
This time travel is worth it.
Shu Wan no longer felt so much resentment towards the fact that he traveled through time.
"Hurry up and get up." Shu Wan knew what these people were thinking, so she waved to them and asked them to get up. She didn't want to be known as someone who treated her servants harshly.
She had already married the wrong person, and now she had offended these maids, and what if they secretly put drugs in her food? "Thank you, Madam." The maids thanked her before standing up again.
"Ahem, um." Shu Wan coughed and said, "You've worked hard today. I have some silver here. You can share it." As she spoke, she took out a bag of silver and handed it to the leading maid.
The maids looked at her blankly.
"It's okay, you guys can go down first. I'm tired and want to rest for a while." She wanted to digest everything that she encountered today.
"Then the servants will withdraw first."
"Okay, go down." Shu Wan waved his hand.
"It seems that the mayor's wife is not stingy. It looks like this silver should be quite a lot."
"Alas, this lady is also a pitiful person. On her wedding night, she was ignored by the city lord."
The maids left with different thoughts in their minds.
Shu Wan lay back on the bed and analyzed the current situation.
The original owner was a favored daughter of a wealthy family at home, and was therefore spoiled to the point of being lawless. She was simply one of the most wealthy second-generation rich people in Blackwater City.
Although her father had business all over the world and was extremely wealthy, he only had this one daughter, so naturally he had to pamper her in every way possible.
Originally, she had a very good relationship with her childhood sweetheart and cousin Li Zihao. The original owner was determined to marry him. Although her parents looked down on Li Zihao, they could only turn a blind eye since their daughter liked him.
But who would have thought that her parents suddenly changed their minds, secretly arranged a marriage for her, and even tied her up in the bridal sedan.
I don’t know what happened.
But she will know all this in the future, after all, she has a golden finger now!
The most important thing right now is to find a way to leave the City Lord's Mansion.
Their marriage doesn't count anyway.
Other things can only be planned step by step.
Shu Wan was thinking about a lot of things in his mind, and finally fell asleep in a daze.
…
At this time, on the other side of the City Lord's Mansion.
In the study.
Rong Chen frowned fiercely as he listened to the servant's report.
"You said that after she returned to the new house, she didn't cry or make a fuss, but ate a lot of cakes and then fell asleep?" This is a bit unlike Shu Wan's style.
After all, in his opinion, that woman was not a good person. Why didn't she make a scene today? He even suspected that the one who got married today was Shu Wan.
"My Lord, yes." Rong Feng answered respectfully.
"I understand. Go down." Rong Chen raised his hand.
Rong Feng then took his leave.
Rong Chen sat in the study room, deep in thought. He already knew everything that happened today, including the fact that Shu Wan had found a big rooster to take his place in the wedding hall.
He originally wanted to deliberately embarrass Shu Wan so that she would make a big fuss and cancel the marriage. He was the first one who was unwilling to have this marriage, and he did not need to rely on a woman to consolidate his position.
But what Shu Wan did was something no one expected.
This is definitely not something Shu Wan would do.
"Hehe, I'd like to see what tricks you are playing." Rong Chen sneered in a low voice.
