Shuang Lian walked back slowly, the shadow of the late winter sun shining on her body.
The warm warmth reminded her of the first time she entered Huo's house a few months ago.
At that time, she was cold and hungry, and she almost never died on the road.
Arriving at Dingbei Gongfu is like arriving in heaven.
At that moment, she despised her rags and envied the fine clothes and food here.
For greedy people, so-called knowledge will only further expand their greed.
Shuang Lian, who was born in poverty, saw such a luxurious scene and determined in his heart that he would live here for the rest of his life.
She comes from a humble background, but has the shrewdness of a villain.
Knowing that what is leaking from Huo Tian and his wife's fingers will allow him to eat, drink and enjoy endlessly.
That half jade pendant is her stepping stone, and it is also her amulet.
The more noble a person is, the more he cares about those vain things, such as kindness and morality.
But this is a good thing for Shuang Lian, because it means that she can exchange nothingness for rich food and clothing.
Of course she was not stupid enough to ask for these things directly, because after seeing Huo Tian, her ambitions were strengthened again.
He is high-ranking and powerful, young and handsome, dedicated and righteous.
It was difficult to find such a person even with a lantern, but she met him in no time.
What is this if not fate? She traveled thousands of miles, suffered from hunger and cold, just for this fate!
If you become Huo Tian's concubine, wouldn't you get everything as a matter of course? And even more.
So she tried her best to please the people in the house, because she knew that if she wanted to be Huo Tian's concubine, she would not be able to be popular.
Everything went smoothly at first, and there were even times when she was sure she could reach that position.
Especially when Jiang Nuan is pregnant again, and Zhuangzi disdains being Huo Tian's maid.
During those days, her heart was filled with ecstasy.
When I'm alone, I can't help but fantasize about what it will be like after I become an aunt.
But suddenly, everything seemed to go wrong.
Jiang Nuan once again mentioned that she wanted to arrange a marriage for herself and Zhuangzi, and she kept her mouth shut for your own good.
Both master and servant Jiang Nuan have the same virtues, they are stubborn, they value friendship above all else, and they regard being a concubine as a scourge.
Shuang Lian knew that she couldn't wait any longer because she couldn't tell her true thoughts in front of Jiang Nuan.
No matter how stupid Jiang Nuan is, he will still feel defensive about himself.
If you do that, all your previous efforts will be wasted and you will lose everything.
For people of low status, opportunities are more important than life.
That’s why there is an ancient saying that wealth can be obtained through danger.
Shuang Lian's courage has never been small, and she decided to take a risk before her fate was decided.
As long as the raw rice becomes cooked rice, my aunt will be able to sit still.
She originally thought it was a sure thing, but who would have thought that Huo Tian would actually have a heart of stone!
If I had put some secret medicine in the tea or hangover soup, maybe things would have worked out.
However, it's not like she didn't think of this, and she didn't do it in the end, mainly because she was afraid that it would be self-defeating.
Because Huo Tian's identity was there, he was much more vigilant than the average person.
If he had plotted against him, how could he not know?
Even if she is forced to become an aunt, she will still have a grudge against herself.
In the long run, it would be detrimental to oneself, so Shuang Lian did not do that.
Shuang Lian stopped and looked up at the sun.
Even though it made her eyes cry, she still refused to move her eyes away.
That kind of light and heat, as long as you get close to it once, you will never forget it again.
But now that she was about to be kicked out of the house, she could no longer stare at the sky and returned her gaze to her feet.
Shuang Lian is a flexible and adaptable person. Since he cannot plan for the long term, he must protect the immediate future.
She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
She made up her mind again, she must get the gold and silver shop!
"Don't stand there in a daze, let's go quickly! You think everyone has the same free time as you!" the mother-in-law who followed her urged impatiently.
Shuang Lian didn't care about her attitude, and Shi Shiran took a step forward.
She knew that the servants in this mansion looked down upon her, but what did it matter? No matter how miserable she was, she would still fare better than them in the end.
Shuang Lian is still not free to move. Wan Mama and the others are afraid that she will cause trouble again, so they still send people to watch her.
Of course, I won't treat her harshly, and she will eat and drink as usual.
Shuang Lian walked into the room and sat down, picked up the embroidery fabric next to her, and started embroidering stitch by stitch.
What she embroidered was a vine. She relied on climbing to reach high places, but it could still make people look up at her. What's wrong with that?!
Jiang Nuan raised her hand and rubbed her temples. This double pity is really giving people a headache!
Zhuangzi came over to rub her and comforted her: "Girl, don't be like this villain. What is our status? Think she is a mouse! She is a fly!"
At the worst, give her some meat and ask her to drag her back to the hole and eat it slowly! It's better than digging a hole around us."
"Why don't I think so?" Jiang Nuan said, "I really don't want to get involved with her."
"Girl, you've been sitting here for half a day, lie down and have a rest!" Zhuizi said considerately, "Be careful of backache."
"Please help me get up and walk around," Jiang Nuan said, "I don't want to lie down right now."
Zhuizi helped Jiang warm up and walked slowly in the room.
Hearing voices outside, Zhuizi said, "It seems to be Wei Yu's voice. He is back."
"He's been gone for a month." Jiang Nuan smiled and said, "Let him come in quickly. I'll listen to what he learned when he returned to his hometown. It will relieve his boredom."
Wei Yu came to see Jiang Nuan. He greeted Jiang Nuan through the curtain outside.
Jiang Nuan asked him: "Has the journey been smooth? Have you seen any relatives when you returned to your hometown?"
"As for girls, I did meet a few relatives," Wei Yu said with a smile, "and even brought a few back with me!"
"That's right! Then ask the housekeeper to help you arrange them properly." Jiang Nuan remembered that Wei Yu no longer had any close relatives, but since he had brought them here, he must still have that friendship, so he didn't ask too many questions.
"These three are not relatives of the villain," Wei Yu said, "and they are not in their turn to be resettled by the villain."
"What are you talking about? This kid is not your relative, so why did you bring him here?" Jiang Nuan was puzzled.
"These three and Shuang Lian are old acquaintances. Madam, won't you invite her to come out and meet her?" Wei Yu asked with a smile.
"You invited Shuang Lian's uncle and aunt here? Didn't you go home to worship your ancestors? Her hometown is still hundreds of miles away from yours, right?" Jiang Nuan asked curiously, "What's wrong with you kid?
Which song was it sung from?"
"This is so exciting to talk about. Girl, you'd better invite your father-in-law to come and listen together. It's really more interesting than talking about singing." Wei Yu said with a smile.
