Chapter 1: Getting married, the stepson shows his power

"The eldest lady's life is over. The young marquis has been missing for many years. Marrying him now would be like marrying a dead man."

"I heard that the eldest daughter chose the marriage herself. Do you think she is possessed by evil spirits?"

"I guess he got stupid from falling into the bathtub that time."

“That makes sense.”

“…”

Xu Wan, wearing a red wedding dress, sat in front of the dressing table, knocking on the table with a frown on her face as she reminded them, "Girls, I'm still sitting here."

Are you no longer shy about saying bad things about people?

After all, she was reincarnated into the body of a lady from an official family, so could she be a little respectful? ?

However, it was of no use.

The room was silent for a few seconds.

The maids rolled their eyes at her, turned around and went out with the wedding tray.

Xu Wan: “…”

Well, she lost.

Xu Wan died suddenly from overwork in her previous life. When she first traveled through time and found that she was the daughter of a minister, she crawled into the bed and laughed crazily for most of an hour, lamenting that she had finally gotten rid of the miserable days of being a social animal and was on the road to prosperity.

It was not until the maids brought her a plate of sour fruits and said that it was her dinner that Xu Wan's dream, which had just lasted for an hour, was shattered into pieces.

Although the original owner was born to the Shangshu's first wife, she died within two years of being the second wife. Naturally, she had no good life after becoming the second wife. On the surface, she was a legitimate daughter, but in private, even the maids could bully her.

Just a month ago, the kind-looking but cruel stepmother finally wanted to send her away and gave her a list of three potential brides to choose from:

One is the illegitimate son of the prime minister. Although his family background is high, if the daughter of a minister marries a illegitimate son, the whole city will laugh at her.

The other one is the second son of a duke, also from a high-class family, but he has a lot of concubines and mistresses, and marrying him will make you wear a green hat endlessly;

Finally, the only one left is the wealthy Yuanyang Marquisate. His eldest son, Zong Zhao, disappeared on the battlefield eight years ago. The old marquis received a message from him in a dream some time ago asking for a marriage, so he started to arrange to find a wife for him.

Zong Zhao was only sixteen years old before he disappeared. He had no wife or concubine, and only a son who appeared out of nowhere. Although he was spoiled by everyone in the mansion, he was only an eight-year-old child after all.

Xu Wan thought about it for a day and decisively chose the Marquis' Mansion.

Her husband is gone, she can spend money freely, and she doesn’t have any maids to bully her. As for that stepson… he’s just an eight-year-old brat, how could he have so many bad intentions?

"Miss, the auspicious time has arrived. Please get on the sedan chair."

Outside, the matchmaker's reminder voice was heard, accompanied by the giggles of other maids.

Xu Wan rolled her eyes and thought to herself, I can’t bear it…

As long as you go to the Marquis' Mansion, you will be free.

There was a crackling sound and the sound of firecrackers continued.

The sedan chair from the Shangshu Mansion was slowly carried to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Get off the sedan chair, and ask the bride to step over the fire basin."

Xu Wan was supported by someone, stepped over the brazier, and followed the guidance of the matchmaker into the house.

The whole journey was very lively with music and dance. Xu Wan took some time to think, now that the groom is dead, who will come to marry her?

It wouldn't be a tablet, right?

But the tablet is fine, she is covered with a red veil and you can’t see anything.

Anyway, as long as she doesn't feel embarrassed, it's the Marquis' Mansion that will be embarrassed.

However... a slap in the face always comes as fast as a tornado.

"Crackle..."

"Crackle..."

Xu Wan almost thought she had heard it wrong, until the sound of the people around her giggling became louder and louder, deafening and piercing the clouds and rocks!

"He actually married a chicken. What did the Marquis think?"

“It seems to be a hen.”

"Ah! The rooster was replaced by Master Cheng. This is a hen!"

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Is the Marquis's family crazy? They let the bride get married with a hen. This is really a strange thing in the world."

"It's over, it's over. People will never stop laughing for the next year."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Xu Wan felt overwhelmed after hearing this.

Master Cheng... was her eight-year-old stepson whom she had never met before, the little bully of the Yuanyang Marquis Mansion, Zong Jincheng.

As expected of him, his ability to stir up trouble is unmatched.

Xu Wan tried hard not to listen to the laughter around her. She kept brainwashing herself in her heart: "It doesn't matter. Not everyone can live a good life. There are gains and losses. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Be patient for a while and you will have peace and happiness for the rest of your life. Even if your uncle can't bear it, your aunt will have to bear it too..."

After all, the Marquis' Mansion was a large mansion. After this incident, Matchmaker, the housekeeper and others quickly took control of the situation and urgently replaced the hen that was about to lay eggs with a new big rooster.

Out of consideration for the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, the other guests finally stopped looking at the joke and tried hard to hold back their laughter.

"Bow to heaven and earth."

When the matchmaker's voice fell, Xu Wan also quickly bowed her head and saluted, and the big cock on the other side was also bowed down...

"Bang——" there was a loud explosion.

"Crackle, crackle, crackle—"

A string of firecrackers suddenly exploded above Xu Wan's head!

"Oh my god! There are firecrackers on the rooster!"

"Oh my god! It's Master Cheng who did it again!"

"He blew off the bride's veil!"

Xu Wan pulled off the hood with a burnt hole on her head and looked outside angrily. She saw a little boy in gorgeous clothes. He was handsome and delicate, and looked very well-behaved. It couldn't be him.

But soon, Xu Wan saw the little boy making a face at her...

Grass!

It's this little bastard!

The string in Xu Wan's mind that had been tied for a month finally broke!

What is this about swallowing one's anger for a better life, what is this about everything being liberated once you enter the mansion, what is this about all eight-year-old children being little angels.

Little bastard!

I'm going to beat you to death today!
