"Shu Lin, are you ready for the homecoming ceremony?" A somewhat old female voice sounded, and then a clear young male voice replied, "Everything is ready."
"That's good, while it's early, you can take Yuanshi back home as soon as possible." The old female voice said again, "It's not easy for Yuanshi to behave well in front of your father-in-law...".
"Okay, my son understands." It was still a young and pleasant male voice.
When Shichu opened his eyes, he found that he was already in a carriage, and riding beside the carriage was the original owner's husband, Zhan Shulin.
The original owner and he got married three days ago. The marriage was very hasty because the original owner's twin sister Yuan Shiwan was attracted by the current third prince Ji Xinbai. The wedding date has been set, but the elders and younger ones are in order. As the elder sister The original owner is not married yet, how can the younger sister get married first?
Therefore, in order to allow his sister to get married as scheduled, the original owner's father hurriedly chose a acceptable marriage for the original owner and married her off in a hurry.
Not only was this marriage perfunctory, there was another truth that would make her even more devastated, that is, Zhan Shulin actually fell in love with her sister Yuan Shiwan.
It's just that Yuan Shiwan is already engaged to the third prince, and he can't compete with the third prince, so he can only do the next best thing and marry Yuan Shiwan's sister.
However, this does not mean that Zhan Shulin regards the original owner as Yuan Shiwan's stand-in, because the original owner and Yuan Shiwan are actually fraternal twins who look nothing alike, and are completely different from appearance to personality.
Yuan Shiwan is pretty and cute, with a lively and naive personality. She is easy to like, like a little sun or a pistachio. Anyone who sees her can't help but like her.
Although the original owner is also beautiful in appearance, she has a calm and quiet personality and acts in a strict manner. Because her mother died young, as the eldest sister, she has to shoulder the responsibility of protecting her younger siblings since she was a child. She has to fight against the kind-faced and cruel stepmother, just like protecting the children. She protected her younger siblings like a chicken, which made her stepmother disgusted. She often said bad things about her in front of the original owner's father, and she also pretended to be a good person in front of her younger sister Yuan Shiwan and younger brother Yuan Shaozong, which made her younger siblings also have opinions about the original owner... ...Over time, the original owner became the most disliked person in the family.
Naturally, it is impossible for her to be regarded as Yuan Shiwan's substitute by Zhan Shulin, but she can protect her two younger siblings well under the eyes of her stepmother. This shows that she has some means, can manage things, and has a calm personality. It seems that she is not a troublemaker and can be a qualified wife in the future, so Zhan Shulin has no choice but to marry her. Since he can't marry Yuan Shiwan, whom he likes, he can marry her sister who has a close relationship with her. This way at least he can be involved with her in the future.
The original owner is his second best meal replacement. When there is no other choice, meal replacement can fill his stomach; or when he cannot get a regular meal, meal replacement can relieve the pain of not being able to get it.
Shi Chu rubbed her forehead, a little regretful that she came a little late. If it had been three days earlier, she wouldn't have to get married to Zhan Shulin, but a marriage is a marriage. Fortunately, the Zhan family is not a messy place, and there are not so many intrigues in the family. It's okay for her to want to live a peaceful life. About three quarters of an hour later, Yuan Shichu and Zhan Shulin arrived at the gate of Yuan Mansion.
No one from the Yuan family came out to greet their daughter and son-in-law who had returned home after getting married, which gave Shichu a deeper understanding of the original owner's status in her natal family.
It wasn't until he was welcomed into the living room by his servants that Yuan's father and others exchanged greetings with Yuan Shichu and Zhan Shulin.
"Sister! You're finally back! I miss you so much. You've only been married for three days, but I already feel like you've been married for a long time." When Yuan Shiwan saw Yuan Shichu, she immediately stepped forward to hold her arm enthusiastically. Her arms were all talking coquettishly
She is indeed a very lovable girl, sweet-tongued, and her coquettish ways always make people feel soft-hearted. Even when I first saw her, I didn’t have any bad feelings towards her. After all, this sister didn’t do anything bad to the original owner. After all, This hasty marriage was decided by Yuan's father, and Zhan Shulin's decision to take her as his surrogate was only Zhan Shulin's fault, not Yuan Shiwan's subjective ill will toward the original owner.
"Really? I thought you were so busy embroidering your wedding dress these days that you forgot about me as a sister." Yuan Shichu teased. Yuan Shiwan blushed and stamped her foot, "Sister! What are you talking about? Well?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Aren't you going to marry the third prince in half a month?" Yuan Shichu said with a smile, "Don't you want to marry him quickly?"
"Sister! I'm ignoring you..." Yuan Shi Wan stomped her feet in shame and ran away.
Then there is the original owner's half-brother Yuan Shaozong. He is twelve years old and is well protected by the original owner. However, he is not grateful to the original owner. Under the instigation of his stepmother, he thinks that the original owner's sister is always stirring up trouble at home and causing trouble. The family was restless, and she forced him to study and punished him if he didn't study. He was cruel and ruthless, so he never had a good look towards her.
"You should live a good life at Zhan's house from now on. Don't stare at this and that all day long like you do at home. It's impossible for everyone to tolerate you in your husband's house... Before your brother-in-law dislikes you, come early If you have a son, you will have someone to rely on in the future..." Yuan Shaozong said this to Yuan Shichu in an arrogant manner.
When Yuan Shichu heard his words, he was shocked, as if he was not facing his twelve-year-old brother, but a fifty-two-year-old old man. How could he say such a stinking and rotten thing at such a young age? What did you say? And let her give birth to a son as soon as possible to rely on? !
"Want to have a son like your uncle? Then I would rather have no children." Yuan Shichu said with a sneer. The original owner's brother is really not a good thing.
Several years after the original owner got married to Zhan Shulin, she finally found out that her husband originally liked her sister and would marry her just for the sake of it. Therefore, she was so stimulated that she collapsed and became seriously ill.
What did the younger brother do to the original owner after he found out? Not only did he not rebuke Zhan Shulin or comfort the original owner, he instead told the original owner that the second sister is so beautiful and many people like her. Is this surprising? And no matter what Zhan Shulin thinks in his heart, she is not the one he will marry in the end anyway? She should be satisfied and not push beyond her limits. If the relationship with Zhan Shulin breaks down, wouldn't it affect his future? After all, he still needs this brother-in-law to help him become an official...
Such a selfish barbecued pork brother, what do you want him to do? A white-eyed wolf, the original owner protected him too well but failed to educate him well, making him indifferent to black and white and only seeking profit.
At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, she was not interested in educating this white-eyed wolf brother, so she scolded him unceremoniously. When Yuan Shaozong heard her words, he was shocked and embarrassed. He did not expect that his sister who was so kind to him before would actually treat him. Say something like this.
