Shi Chu covered his forehead and got up from the bed. When he opened his eyes, he saw the honey-colored curtains hanging down. He was covered with a festive quilt filled with flowers, full moon, and descendants. Two exquisite dragon and phoenix tent hooks hung above the bed. When he saw these, She knew that this time it was ancient times.
Before anyone noticed that she was awake, Shichu lay back down again and began to integrate the memory of this body owner.
Her original name was Xu Shichu, and she was only twenty years old. She had just been married to the powerful Prime Minister Luo Changqing for three months. Her husband was of noble birth and had a high position. Logically speaking, the original owner should be living a good life. Unfortunately, she was just A stepwife who was brought back to be a tool.
Luo Changqing and his first wife Liu Huaiqing grew up as childhood sweethearts and got engaged since childhood. After getting married, they naturally fell in love with each other very deeply. We soon gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a boy, and their life was enviable.
At that time, Luo Changqing had a sweet wife, a sweet young son, a smooth career, a happy life, and high spirits.
It's a pity that life that makes God jealous did not last forever. Liu Huaiqing passed away due to illness when the twins were eight years old. Luo Changqing was depressed because of this, but in the end he still did it for Dragon and Phoenix. The fetus became excited.
Probably because his relationship with his first wife was too good, Luo Changqing refused to remarry for several years no matter how persuaded by his relatives and friends.
So how did the original owner get so lucky to become his stepwife?
This is because in the past few years, several princes have grown up one after another, and the battle for the throne has become more and more intense. Luo Changqing, the prime minister with a high position and no wife, has been targeted. Every prince wants to win him over to his side. came, so he set his mind on his wife, and spent the whole day planning to get Luo Changqing to marry a woman in their power.
Firstly, Luo Changqing wanted to avoid this plot, and secondly, for the sake of his daughter's marriage. After all, in this era, there was a saying that the eldest daughter should not be married if her mother had lost her mother, so she specially selected the original owner who was from a declining uncle's house and was wasted due to the funeral of his elder. "Older leftover women" who have not married until they are twenty years old.
The original owner was just the niece of Xu Wenbo, Ning Yuan's uncle. She lost her biological mother long ago. She grew up under the guidance of her stepmother since she was a child, and developed a timid and docile character. She couldn't beat a fart with three sticks. With such a character, even if she married When entering the prime minister's house, she will not use her power to bully others, pretending to be a stepmother to tease her stepchildren.
Luo Changqing married her because he liked her and used it as a shield. Naturally, he had no feelings for her at all. He told the original owner directly on the night of the wedding that she should put her own position in the house and leave her alone. Regarding the young master and the young lady, don’t expect to become a loving couple with him, but as long as she is honest in her duties, he will naturally give her the honor of being the prime minister’s wife.
The original owner was full of joy and thought that happiness was just around the corner. Who knew that Luo Changqing's ruthless words were like a bucket of cold water poured on her head, which immediately woke her up from her sweet dream, leaving her confused, stunned, painful and embarrassed.
But she didn't dare and didn't have the confidence to resist, so she could only swallow her grievances and remain invisible in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If she continues like this, even if she has no relationship with her husband and stepchildren, it will not prevent her from living freely, but her natal family cannot let such a prominent in-laws go without taking advantage of her.
So her eldest aunt asked her to marry her cousin to Luo Rui, Luo Changqing's eldest son. She said that it was a close relationship, and her cousin became a daughter-in-law. She could also gain a firm foothold in the prime minister's palace and become the head of the prime minister's palace confidently. mother.
The original owner was originally insecure because of Luo Changqing's words, so he was easily bewitched by his aunt. Under her instigation, he did many wrong things. He actually drugged Luo Rui and got his cousin's niece into his stepson's bed. Successfully The ground is "closer and closer".
Such excessive behavior completely angered Luo Changqing and Luo Rui. The disobedient tool man would naturally be dealt with. The original owner soon became "frail and sickly" and died quietly within two years.
At the beginning, I learned about the situation of the original owner in her previous life, and soon knew what time period she was in now. She had been married to Luo Changqing for three months, and lived in obscurity in this courtyard. The last time Luo Changqing came to see her was on their wedding night. That night, I have never set foot here again since then.
Of course, the twins Luo Rui and Luo Yaqing will not take her seriously. It is impossible to greet her sooner or later, and they will only treat her as an invisible person.
In addition to a few servants sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are also maids brought from Uncle Ningyuan's Mansion to dowry in her courtyard. When she recalled it at the beginning, she found that the bonds of sale of these servants who came with her as a dowry were not in the In her hand, it was actually still with her aunt in the uncle's house!
This is a bit outrageous, that is, the original owner, who is ignorant of the world and was raised to be cowardly, does not know the importance of the deed of betrayal. If she does not have the deed of betrayal of her servants, are these servants still her servants? This is obviously impossible.
It seems that her eldest aunt is scheming and has long planned to marry her granddaughter into the prime minister's house under the influence of the original owner. After all, she has the original owner and other servants in her hands, and she is afraid that the original owner can escape from her grasp and does not work hard for her. Does she contribute?
"Come here!" Shichu shouted, but no one came in after a while. Sure enough, she didn't treat her as a serious owner. Otherwise, how could the original owner not have a maid to watch over her while she slept?
At the beginning, he shouted louder and louder several times, and then a beautiful-looking maid Shi Shiran walked in.
"Oh, madam, why are you shouting so loudly? How bad it is for the servants of the prime minister's house to hear this. They will think that people from our uncle's house are uneducated. What will happen if the prime minister finds out?" Maid Taoye frowned and said with dissatisfaction.
Look, this maid dared to take care of her master. She was so bold. You can imagine how little she cared about her original master.
Shi Chu stared at Tao Ye for a while, until Tao Ye felt uncomfortable, and then said expressionlessly: "Help me dress up, and then ask someone to give me something to fill my stomach." .”
Upon hearing this, Taoye curled her lips slightly and said, "It's sooner or later at this time. Lunch has been eaten and dinner hasn't arrived yet. Where can I get something to eat? Isn't this a embarrassment to my servant, Madam?"
"What? Don't I, the wife of the prime minister, even have something to eat? The kitchen of the prime minister's house only cooks breakfast and dinner, so there is no need to cook other food?" Shichu said coldly,
"Is it because you don't want to go because it's troublesome, or are you dissatisfied with me, the master, calling you?"
Taoye didn't take it seriously when she saw the completely different expression from before. The timid character of the original owner had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Taoye never thought that she had a different soul inside and was really angry, so she He rolled his eyes cryptically and said dissatisfiedly:
"It's not that I find it troublesome, but as you know, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion never take Madam seriously. If you go at this time, you won't be able to bring back anything delicious. Those snacks, soups and other things are prepared for the young master. Yes, they won’t be willing to give it to Madam, right?”
After Taoye finished speaking, she squinted at Shichu, thinking she could see Shichu's expression of unwillingness to be ashamed. The original owner knew that he had no status in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was most taboo about being mentioned about this. Usually Taoye and the others often used the original owner and the prime minister to make fun of him in a weird way. The people in the mansion didn't like to talk about things, and every time the original owner was told something, he looked embarrassed and painful, and they used it as a show.
Unexpectedly, this time when Shi Chu heard her words, he didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, he looked at her openly and said, "If the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion dare to fool me with nothing to eat, I will look at you if you come back to me again." It depends on whether I, the wife with only a name, is more important, or the servants. Even if I am ignored again, I am still the wife of the prime minister. If I go to the prime minister to complain, Taoye, do you think the prime minister is punishing the servants or blaming me? Woolen cloth?"
