"Miss, there is a scholar in front of me who had his wallet robbed by a few beggars. He is so pitiful. He doesn't seem to have much money. If his money is robbed, he will have no money for accommodation and food..." The maid's clear voice With the sound ringing in his ears, Lin Shichu opened his beautiful, sparkling eyes and saw his maid Qingyu lifting the car curtain and looking outside.
She opened the car curtain wide, as if she had opened it specially to let the original owner see - she did it on purpose, because the scholar outside bribed her to say these words in front of the original owner, so that the original owner Notice the down-and-out scholar.
"Put down the car curtain!" Lin Shichu said coldly.
"What? Miss, don't you want to look outside? Now that my wife is not here, you can look in secret!" Qingyu thought Lin Shichu was afraid of being blamed by his mother, so he persuaded her self-righteously.
Lin Shichu gave her a cold look and said, "I told you to put down the car curtain, but you didn't even listen to me?"
Qingyu was startled. She had never seen Lin Shichu treat her so badly. The original owner had always been gentle and kind, and treated the maids around him like sisters. She was reluctant to even say a harsh word. She was used to it. Are these maids forgetting their status and getting into trouble? Now he can betray her for money.
The original owner's personality was too gentle. Qingyu didn't take it seriously for her uncharacteristic behavior. She was just stunned for a moment and continued her "mission". She laughed and said: "Oh, miss, don't be angry! I know you are the softest, that one The scholar's money has been robbed. He is so pitiful. Miss, would you like to help him or make a good relationship? Maybe he will be elected as an official in the future?"
Qingyu relied on the original owner's innocence and trust in her, a confidant, to almost openly ask Lin Shichu to support the scholar.
That scholar was Fang Yu'an, a poor scholar who deliberately wanted to catch up with the original owner, the daughter of a rich man.
In the original destiny trajectory, Fang Yuan did get to know the original owner in this premeditated calculation. After listening to Qing Yu's words, the original owner got off the carriage and kindly "lent" money to Fang Yu'an.
The original owner didn't originally have any thoughts about Fang Yu'an. After all, it was just a chance encounter. But Fang Yu'an had already targeted her as a big fish. How could he not take the next step?
Therefore, under the leakage of the cheating maid Qingyu, the original owner had "accidental encounters" with Fang Yu'an three times. Fang Yu'an tried his best to show his grace and talent every time, and showed that he was secretly in love with the original owner, and Qingyu He often made insinuations and hinted that Fang Yu'an was a talented young man with a bright future and a rare candidate for a husband. Therefore, the original owner, who had reached the age of marriage, naturally gradually fell in love with Fang Yu'an.
When the time came, Qingyu began to act like "the young lady has a sweetheart" in front of the original owner's mother, openly or covertly, which led the original owner's mother to investigate, and this investigation was traced to Fang Yu'an.
Fang Yu'an is indeed a talented person, and he was admitted as a scholar. It is said that he is very talented. It is only a matter of time before he passes the exam. He pretends to be too good. Although he has no family background and is still very poor, he is personable, kind-hearted, and can be easily obtained. The favor of others.
The original owner's mother investigated and found that Fang Yu'an also seemed to like her daughter. Isn't that consensual and everyone is happy? Moreover, Fang Yu'an's parents have passed away, and there are no relatives in the family. However, her family only has one daughter who was raised like a precious treasure. If she marries Fang Yu'an, she won't have to be punished by her mother-in-law, which is good.
So the original owner's mother hinted at Fang Yu'an, and Fang Yu'an immediately happily agreed to marry the Lin family and became Lin Shichu's fiancé, waiting to get married after passing the Jinshi examination.
Fang Yu'an, who became the future son-in-law of the Lin family, finally no longer had to worry about money. He could prepare for the imperial examination without any worries.
He is still somewhat talented. After studying hard for three years, he actually passed the imperial examination, and then he won the imperial examination in one go. He was very high-spirited.
If he had married the original owner as promised, it would have been a good story, but unfortunately, he was favored by the emperor, who granted him a marriage to the sixth princess.
Fang Yu'an was "shocked" and quickly declined, saying that he already had a fiancée in his hometown and could not break the contract to marry the princess.
But how can one refuse a marriage gifted by the emperor just at the drop of a hat? However, the Lin family did provide Fang Yu'an with education and were kind to him, so the emperor waved his hand and said that he would marry him together with his fiancée. However, the princess was respected and she was the head wife, so he had no choice but to treat his fiancée as an equal wife.
Fang Yu'an couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
Who wouldn't praise him for being affectionate and loyal to his fiancée? He would abandon his fiancée without becoming famous, but let his fiancée be on an equal footing with the princess with "deep love and righteousness".
But can he really refuse? If his attitude was very firm, would the emperor really force him to marry his daughter? The emperor's daughter had no worries about anyone marrying her. In the final analysis, Fang Yu'an was just worried that refusing to marry would affect his future, so he compromised after just mentioning it.
And if he really couldn't refuse to be the consort, couldn't he break off the engagement with Lin Shichu? Although breaking off the engagement would damage Lin Shichu's reputation and make her marriage difficult, in a year or two, everyone would gradually forget that with the Lin family's wealth, it would not be difficult for the original owner to find a well-matched man in her hometown to get married.
But Fang Yu'an insisted on marrying the original owner as an equal wife for his own reputation, or because he was reluctant to part with the Lin family's huge property. This seemed to be fair and benevolent to the original owner.
But the original owner is just a rich man's daughter, and the family only has money, but the sixth princess is rich and powerful, and her status can suppress the original owner. Will the original owner really have a good life as a common wife?
Will the Sixth Princess be willing to share her husband with others? Naturally, she didn't want to, so the original owner became Fang Yu'an's common wife for only one year before she died of "physical weakness".
When the original owner died, his parents also passed away sadly, so the Lin family's huge property fell into Fang Yu'an's hands.
This was the starting point of the original owner's tragedy. Lin Shichu naturally could not repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, after hearing Qingyu's words, she said to Qingyu with a smile: "Since you care about him so much and believe that he has a bright future, then You go down and help him.”
Didn't Qingyu, this maid, marry Fang Yuan with her original owner in her previous life, and eventually become an aunt? Because of her humble status, she was not taken seriously by the Sixth Princess at all, but she gave birth to a son safely and lived a peaceful life. It really made people feel unfair to the original owner.
"Miss, are you kidding me? How can I have the money to help him? Don't I think that the lady has just returned from worshiping Buddha at the Great Holy Temple, so wouldn't it be better to do something good to show the lady's compassion?" Qingyu spoke eloquently.
Lin Shichu smiled half-heartedly. Qingyu tried really hard to get her involved with Fang Yu'an, but he just didn't want to fulfill her wish.
