Chapter 195 The Cannon Fodder Wife in the Ancient Time Traveling Novel 2
The original owner certainly knew that she had fallen into the trap of this couple, but she also knew that even if everyone knew that this was a trap against her, she would still lose her innocence. No matter what, the best ending that awaited her was to be accompanied by a green lamp and an ancient Buddha for the rest of her life.
So she wrote down everything that happened in a suicide note, and asked her personal maid to take the suicide note back to the Censor's Mansion to find her father and impeach the Marquis for disobeying the order and favoring his concubine and killing his wife. After she did this, she hanged herself at the door of the Marquis' Mansion with a three-foot white silk to prove her innocence!
What she didn't know was that the male and female protagonists rushed over after hearing the news, and they didn't see the original owner's personal maid, and they instantly understood what the original owner was planning. The male protagonist quickly found her maid and quickly executed her on the grounds that the maid was not protecting her master, and also destroyed the suicide note.
The male and female protagonists claimed that the original owner committed suicide because she was caught in bed with her husband and divorced for not being a good wife. This incident caused a big uproar, and all the women in the original owner's family were affected. Those who were married were divorced, and those who were engaged were broken off! The original owner's mother cried all day long, and her father was forced to resign from his official position. The original owner's entire family came to an end.
Later, the male protagonist was afraid that the original owner's affairs would cause another wave of trouble, so he used some tricks to force the original owner's father to return home with his family. The male and female protagonists erased everything about the original owner, and listed the female protagonist in the family tree as the legal wife.
Through this incident, the heroine also thoroughly understood the feudal custom of treating women's reputation as more important than anything else, and she became more cautious in her actions. She gradually adapted to the rules of this era, and her relationship with the hero became better.
So they were happy, but because the original owner married the male protagonist and blocked their way, their family was killed or scattered. What good results could those women in her family who were divorced and returned home have? The men in the family were affected no less than the women. What did the original owner's family do to deserve this unprovoked disaster?
"Xiaojiu, what was the original owner's wish?" Ye Xiaoxiao was no longer surprised.
There are not many male and female protagonists who are completely good in her missions! If a very good male and female protagonist comes one day, she will probably not be used to it. Yes, even if there are very good male and female protagonists, she will not appear.
"Her wish is to protect her family and not let it be implicated by her. To avoid being schemed against by those two and to take revenge on them so that they don't have such an easy life. She also doesn't want to get involved in the relationship between them! If possible, she also wants to enjoy a sweet love that belongs to her, give birth to a healthy and lovely child, and enjoy family happiness. If not, forget it, just try to live a comfortable life."
"That's all? You don't want to take the lives of the male and female protagonists?" The original owner was really kind.
"Wait, what is the current time point? Where can the original owner go to have her sweet love? And have a baby? How could she have such an idea?" Ye Xiaoxiao was a little stunned!
"No, maybe she thought she couldn't do it? It might even put her and her family at risk, so she didn't want to kill them. Xiaoxiao, don't you think you're becoming more and more violent? You weren't like this before."
"The original owner might have been a little envious of the love those two talked about. She had been used to following the rules all her life, and now she wanted to rebel and be willful for once."
"What's the current timing? After dawn, you will receive the imperial edict to marry the Marquis, and the time for the wedding will be one month later!" Xiaojiu answered all the questions Ye Xiaoxiao asked.
"..." Can she be blamed for this? The original owner's family died or scattered! It's understandable that she wants to kill the male and female protagonists. But then she was shocked by Xiaojiu's next words. The marriage will be granted tomorrow, and it's too late for her to change it. Isn't this a problem for her?
"What was the original owner thinking? Even if she wanted to rebel, she shouldn't be so rebellious. Could she still disobey the order? How could she, a lady from a well-off family who never left her house, find sweet love? Did she want to cheat on her husband? Did she want to have such an exciting thing? Would an honest person have such fun once he let himself go? But it would be difficult to have a child. But it's a bit exciting just thinking about it, why?"
"Just try to complete it first. Didn't she say later? It doesn't matter if you don't achieve it, as long as you live comfortably. I guess she also knows that it's difficult, so she said this."
"Okay, I understand."
By the time Ye Xiaoxiao had sorted out everything, it was already dawn. She estimated that a maid would wake her up in an hour or two, so she had to hurry and get some sleep.
The original owner's surname in this life was Xia, and her name was Xia Xiaoxiao. Her father was Xia Chengxiao, and she married Wang, and had two sons and one daughter.
The original owner's father, Xia Chengxiao, may have been rigid by nature due to his profession. He was an old scholar, upright, honest and outspoken, and a typical person who lived in a box. His catchphrases were: "This is against the rules." "Where did you learn the etiquette, righteousness, and integrity?" "I object..."
The only hobby is to drink a little wine at home. It's just a small cup. If she drinks too much, she will call the younger generation to teach them etiquette and law. The reason why the original owner is so familiar with the law is because of her father's hobby!
Not only the original owner, but her two brothers are also like her, all well-versed in law and eloquent. As for the original owner's matter, if the male and female protagonists had not handled the matter quickly enough, if the letter had reached the hands of the original owner's family, it would not be certain who would win or lose.
Wang was a woman who followed the Three Obediences and Four Virtues like all other women in ancient times. She was a gentle woman who managed household affairs, supported her husband and raised her children. She regarded her husband as the most important person in the family, and after her son's enlightenment, she handed him over to the teacher and husband for education.
Her job was to serve her husband and son, manage the inner house, and teach her daughter. Wang loved the daughter of the original owner, but after all, they were a family of rules. If they talked too much about rules, there would be less affection. Although the family was all blood relatives, they always felt that something was missing.
When Ye Xiaoxiao woke up again, no, she was Xia Xiaoxiao now, she was woken up by her personal maid Qiu Ju! It was already dawn.
Xia Xiaoxiao got up immediately, and a maid helped her dress. After she was dressed and sat down, another maid combed her hair. It was the first time in several lifetimes that someone had served her like this, and it was really a novel experience.
After that, she washed her face and rinsed her mouth and went to pay her respects to her mother, Wang. It seemed that she had to get used to the ancient rules and etiquette as soon as possible, otherwise it would be bad if she was exposed. Xia Xiaoxiao and her two maids quickly arrived at the main courtyard!
"The daughter pays her respects to her mother." Xia Xiaoxiao paid her respects to Wang according to the original owner's memory, and it was quite smooth.
"Hurry up, Xiaoxiao is here? Did you sleep well last night? Today I asked the kitchen to make your favorite crystal shrimp dumplings. You must eat a few more later." Wang said to her with a smile!
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I slept very well last night. If Qiuyu hadn't called me, I don't know how long I would have fallen asleep."
"You are still growing, so it's normal for you to sleep in. It's fine at home, but you can't be like this if you get married." Wang looked at her graceful daughter and thought that she probably wouldn't stay for long.
After Xia Xiaoxiao paid her respects to her mother, Wang, she accompanied her to have breakfast. Wang took her to handle some household chores. Since Xia Xiaoxiao was ten years old, Wang had been with her to learn how to handle these big and small matters. Therefore, Xia Xiaoxiao was also an expert in managing the household affairs.
Seeing that Wang had handled the matter, Xia Xiaoxiao was about to say goodbye to her mother and return to her boudoir, but was told by a servant who came hurriedly to go to the front yard to receive the imperial edict.
The mother and daughter were startled, and immediately reacted. They quickly changed their clothes and told people to set up the incense table and prepare for everything to receive the decree. After another round of haste, they finally arrived at the front hall after a long time.
Xia Chengxiao and his two sons had already arrived. The eunuch who was in charge of announcing the decree only announced it after seeing that everyone was present.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have heard that the legitimate daughter of Censor Xia Chengxiao... is being specially granted marriage to Marquis Wu'an Leng Mufeng, and that an auspicious date should be chosen for the wedding. I decree this!"
"Your humble servant and your family will accept my order to express our gratitude! Long live the emperor!"
Everyone sent the eunuch away. Then they opened the imperial edict to study it!
"Master, what do you think this imperial edict means? Why would the emperor allow Xiaoxiao to marry the Marquis? Is there something going on?" Wang was a little confused.
"We don't know for the time being. In any case, the imperial edict has been issued and it cannot be changed. We have to accept it! I would also like to trouble Madam to teach Xiaoxiao how to be a good marquis's wife. By the way, prepare the dowry. It is estimated that it will not take long before she gets married. After all, this is a marquis, so the dowry has to be heavier!" After Xia Chengxiao gave his instructions to his wife, he took his two sons to the study to discuss things.
In fact, he was a little surprised. He, the daughter of an imperial censor, married the marquis as his legal wife. It must be too high a marriage. Maybe the marquis did something to make the emperor unhappy? Or something happened, which required them to discuss or inquire about it!
Well, the original owner’s lifelong affairs were decided like this, and no one asked for her opinion, including the matter of preparing the dowry, which she had no part in.
But Lin Xiaoxiao was wrong. It wasn't that she had nothing to do with this. It was that everything was her business! She was even busier now. Not only did she have to learn how to manage household chores, but she also had to learn how to be a good wife of a marquis.
What gave her a headache was that she had to embroider the wedding dress. It was not difficult to embroider the wedding dress, but she had to learn the needlework of the original owner. She had to remember the members of her future husband's family and embroider a gift for her mother-in-law. She was so busy that she took off.
Her father and brother also found out why the emperor granted the marriage to the marquis. It turned out that the late emperor's brother, Prince Cheng, had rebelled! So the emperor's son had to go to quell the rebellion, and the marquis had to go with him as a deputy general. But they were afraid of any accidents, so they let the marquis get married first, maybe he could leave an heir or something.
So they had to get married as soon as possible, and all six rituals had to be completed within a month! This caused the entire Xia family, regardless of the master and mistress or the servants, to be busy.
