After Er Ya was carried into the Liu residence and finished paying respects to Heaven and Earth, she returned to her room. All the servants respectfully addressed her as "Third Young Mistress," and Er Ya gave each of them a reward.
Liu Yu, drunk, pushed open the door, lifted the red veil, and looked at the girl who hadn't fully grown up yet, feeling no appetite.
She subconsciously glanced at the dowry: "Did the princess's mansion give you this as part of your dowry?"
Er Ya didn't understand the meaning behind Liu Yu's words, and said with great interest, "Yes, the old lady said that although I came from a bad background, my character and temperament are top-notch."
So they specially prepared a dowry for me, and even allowed me to marry out of the princess's residence!
"You mean you used to be a maid, and what they said is true?"
Er Ya then realized what was happening and looked at her husband: "Husband, don't you know?"
Liu Yu knocked the things on the table to the ground: "How should I know? I haven't investigated you."
Seeing you dressed so elegantly every day as you leave the Princess's mansion, all the servants respectfully call you Second Miss.
She was supposed to be in charge at that factory, but I always thought she was some important person from the Princess's mansion. Turns out she's just a maid.
She was thinking to herself, "No wonder the young master of the Qin family laughed at me. Look at the dowry that came with me, it's really quite meager!"
It's probably just a maid getting married; how much could she possibly receive?
Er Ya was so frightened by Liu Yu's attitude that she stood there dumbfounded.
Where did that gentleman go? How come she's changed so much in just a few days?
"How...how could you do this to me? Didn't you say before that you fell in love with me because of my lively and cheerful personality? How come you've changed your attitude and show such hatred now?"
Liu Yu looked up at the sky speechlessly: "You still can't see reality?"
Although our Liu family is not a high-ranking official or noble family, we are still among the wealthy merchants. Therefore, with your current status, you are not worthy of the title of the principal wife.
Therefore, from this day forward, you can only be a concubine; always remember your place.
Er Ya slammed her hand on the table and roared, "Liu Yu, how dare you! You were the one who wanted to marry me, but now you say you'll only make me a concubine. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Princess's Mansion?"
"You haven't been staying at the Princess's residence for too long, have you? Do you really think you're the master of the Princess's residence, daring to punish me here?"
You are now a member of the Liu family. Don't say I'm only treating you this way, even if I sold you off.
Or perhaps she'll be beaten to death or starve to death; what can the princess's mansion say then? After all, she's just a maidservant.
Upon hearing this, Er Ya immediately pulled off all the colorful hairpins from her head.
"I'm telling you, I'm not going to get married. You can find whoever you want to be your concubine!"
Liu Yu looked at the bean sprouts in front of her and was very angry: "It seems that you really can't see reality. You are so rude and don't know the principle of a woman obeying her husband after marriage."
"Then today I will have someone properly teach you, and Granny Liu will properly teach this lady the rules of the Liu household."
Then a slightly plump old woman walked in from outside.
"Young master, rest assured, leave everything to this old servant. I will definitely discipline him to the point of obedience."
Liu Yu was very satisfied and turned away from the bridal chamber. It was this action that made the whole mansion realize that the newlywed lady was not liked by the young master.
The young master has married no fewer than ten wives, but he always stays overnight in his new wife's room after each wedding.
Only this one didn't.
Er Ya looked at the person she had longed for, who had now turned into this kind of person.
Then she remembered what the young princess had told her before: this person was not a good match, and she had explained all the things she had investigated to her in detail.
But she had been bewitched by him and had finally begged the old lady to agree to marry him. How could she possibly go back now?
At this moment, Granny Liu showed no mercy and directly took out her small whip and lashed it on Er Ya's waist.
"You little slut, what are you good for if you can't even keep the young master on your wedding night? You married into the family with the proper etiquette of a first wife, but you don't even know your own worth. You even dare to argue with the young master."
Before Er Ya could react to the first lash, the second and third lashes were already upon her.
Tears streamed down her face instantly. She had never been beaten or scolded since she came to Old Su's house with her sister.
Later, Yao Yao was named a little princess, and she herself became the second young lady of the mansion, a person to be respected. When have I ever suffered such humiliation?
She immediately tried to snatch the whip from the old nanny's hand. Old nanny Liu was an old hand in the mansion, having been there for over 20 years.
She raised the Third Young Master Liu herself, and she taught all the concubines the proper etiquette for entering the mansion.
There were quite a few who resisted like Er Ya, but none of the girls could get the better of her with her strength!
Er Ya tried to snatch the whip but couldn't, and then the old woman pushed Er Ya to the ground.
"You little slut, look how capable you are! Once you're inside the Liu family, you'd better behave yourself, no matter who you were before, or don't blame this old servant."
After saying that, Granny Liu lashed Er Ya twice more with her whip, and blood immediately gushed out from her lower back after those two lashes.
Granny Liu stopped in time. She knew she should discipline her properly these next few days, but she couldn't go too far, since it was the third day after her wedding.
That brat is definitely going back to the Princess's residence again. If she gets caught then, the Liu family will be in big trouble.
Who in the entire capital didn't know that the little princess was a troublemaker? No minister or prince in the court would dare to mess with her.
After putting away the whip, the old woman squatted down and looked at Er Ya, who was still lying on the ground, and asked, "Have you learned your lesson? If not, this old servant can still work hard to serve you well with this whip."
Er Ya nodded quickly; she knew better than to suffer a loss.
"Little maid, you should serve the young master well. You have a lot of say in this mansion now. Which concubine would dare to mess with you?"
You have no worries about food and clothing in the mansion, and you are served by maids and servants. You think it's better than having to work in the princess's mansion?
A woman will eventually marry; as long as she's obedient, sensible, and doesn't cause trouble in the Liu household, life should be relatively easy.
Er Ya nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, realizing that now that she was married, she couldn't go back.
With maids and servants to wait on her, she didn't care even if the third young master didn't show her any favor.
Seeing that the little girl was quite sensible, the old woman took the whip and swayed her fat waist as she went out the door.
Er Ya quickly closed the door, spread out on the bed, and began to sob softly.
...
Wang Xiucai's family was filled with joy and laughter. After bidding farewell to their relatives and friends, Wang Xiucai himself entered the bridal chamber.
The two were very shy, but they still spent the night together. The next morning, Daya got up, washed up, and toasted her parents-in-law. The whole family liked this daughter-in-law very much.
Princess's Mansion
Su Muyao tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Finally, she found the goods that some delivery guy had brought her before in the corner of the room, including a large slide.
Good, good, those bonuses really weren't given for nothing.
