When Butler Qian heard her say that, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
And so, He Youyou, holding the memorial tablet, went through the wedding ceremony and became a widow.
The name on the memorial tablet was written in only three characters—Han Silang.
This name is so hastily chosen...
Is his surname Han and his given name Silang?
Is it still ranked fourth?
It doesn't matter, He Youyou doesn't care.
The coffin in the backyard had long been nailed shut, so she couldn't even see what her deceased husband looked like.
I asked the housekeeper, and he said she died of illness.
Originally, the marriage was intended to bring good luck, but unexpectedly, Han Silang left in a hurry and died before the wedding.
He Youyou expressed her regret and grabbed an extra handful of paper money, burning it in the brazier in front of the coffin.
"The biggest regret in life is dying with money left over. I'll burn a lot more for you to use on your journey."
Having leftover money is not only a regret, but also a source of trouble.
Soon, troubles came knocking.
The Han family's house was a manor house, and there were many villagers living nearby.
Upon hearing that the Han family was in mourning, a local bully led a few men to their door.
The doorman had already notified the inner hall.
He Youyou pinched her chin and sneered, "They're trying to eat up the last of their children."
In ancient societies, this kind of thing was common.
Widows whose husbands have died and who have no sons to rely on are often bullied to the point of ruin and death.
Butler Qian remained remarkably calm, showing no sign of panic on his face.
He whispered, "Mistress, there's no need to worry. I'll have a few men chase him away. The guards in the house are quite skilled; we don't need to be afraid of him."
"Kick him out?" He Youyou said slowly, stroking her chin. "That's letting him off too easily."
The housekeeper was stunned.
Does the mistress have other ideas?
"What do you mean, Madam?"
He Youyou pondered, "Then we can't let him come for nothing; we have to trick him out of it."
"How does the mistress plan to trick me?"
“Of course, we’ll rip you off to death.” He Youyou’s eyes darted around as she ordered, “Hide all the valuable items in this hall and courtyard into the storeroom and send a few guards to watch over them.”
The servants of the Han family were very efficient and quickly cleaned up the surrounding area.
He Youyou took out a large crystal ball from her sleeve.
Made of high-temperature resistant glass, a genuine modern industrial product.
This is a souvenir that I brought back for my younger sister when she went on a trip.
When Butler Qian saw the crystal ball, he was secretly shocked.
He had seen a lot in his life, but he had never seen anything like this before.
It is even more crystal clear and flawless than the crystal glasses used by royalty.
It can be described as a rare treasure.
He Youyou's arrival in this world was completely unexpected.
Very suddenly.
It was an ordinary day. She opened the villa's door, ready to go to work, only to find herself in an unfamiliar world.
Men till the fields and women weave, going back and forth along the paths.
The villa is still there, but we can never go back to that era.
She can enter the villa with her mind and retrieve items from inside.
Aside from the lack of internet and signal, everything inside works.
If she stayed in the villa and didn't interact with the outside world, she could live a peaceful life.
But she can't stay idle.
Moreover, she was curious.
She was eager to get involved in everything in this world.
Before transmigrating, He Youyou was a venture capitalist's partner, and her main business was dealing with money.
In this world, perhaps she could also make some investments.
The quickest way she could think of to earn her first fortune was to become a widow.
Be a wealthy widow.
Women in ancient times feared becoming widows.
She is weak, inexperienced, lacks assertiveness, has no social experience, and her understanding of life is limited to her small courtyard.
A woman like this, without a man to protect her, is easily bullied.
There are countless examples throughout history of widows being exploited and left without offspring.
But He Youyou wasn't afraid.
She has plenty of cunning and life experience.
Besides, she has a way out.
At worst, she can just run away with the villa.
