Chapter 106 The original heroine Luo Shuhuan
A graceful lady with pearls and jade on her head at the top looked at the girl kneeling below. This was the first time she looked carefully at this inconspicuous concubine's daughter.
It seemed that she had changed since she woke up from the water two months ago. The concubine who used to be timid and had no sense of existence had been acting very high-profile in the past two months.
Although she still looks weak, looking back, she was responsible for several things that happened before.
This girl is hiding in the dark and fanning the flames. Don't think you don't know. Humph! The inner house is turbulent. She has experienced a lot and eaten more salt than she has eaten rice. How dare a yellow-haired girl stir up trouble in front of her?
The girl was still trembling. "Please calm down, mother. I didn't know that the conch was sent by the fourth prince. I had never seen the world before, and my grandmother gave it to me out of pity."
"Pity you? What? Did our eldest son's family give you less food or clothes? How dare you go to the old lady to beg for it? Especially in front of Madam Lin, you really bring shame to our family."
The eldest lady was so angry that she pointed at the girl and yelled, "Your grandfather was the Minister of Rites, a high-ranking official, and our Luo family is a well-off family that has been passed down for a hundred years. If you do this, how can we save our family's reputation?"
The girl kneeling below kept kowtow and admitted her mistake, but the corners of her mouth curled up.
He just likes to flatter her, saying that she has no worries about food and clothing? What kind of life did the original owner live? Since she has traveled through time, she can't just swallow her anger.
Her elder sister showed off in front of her and didn't let her be happy, so she wouldn't let her elder sister be happy.
"There are only five Luozidai in total. The elders in the family divided them up. The old lady was going to give the remaining one to Yuan'er, but you got there first. Who are you? Your elder sister is the eldest daughter of the eldest son. Can you compare with your elder sister and the other ladies in the family? You are so ignorant."
The stepmother was still chattering on and on, and although Luo Shuhuan admitted his mistake sincerely, he felt very disdainful in his heart.
"I see that you haven't learned the rules well. You are so petty and will bring shame to our family in the future. This time, I will punish you by making you copy the "Female Rules" a hundred times and confine yourself to reflect on your mistakes for ten days."
Luo Shuhuan's face suddenly changed. Copying the "Female Rules" was nothing, but the banquet at the Anguo Mansion would be held in five days, and this woman clearly did not want to attend the banquet.
No! I have to find a way myself.
After leaving the main room, Luo Shuhuan snorted coldly. In her previous life, she had read many time-travel stories about concubines' daughters fighting in the house. Was she afraid of her stepmother and step-sister?
Isn't it that my stepmother is just relying on her status as my uncle's eldest daughter to act arrogantly all day long? In terms of scheming and tactics, I am no worse than them.
Suddenly I thought of my past life. That woman was just like my stepmother, always pretending to be noble. She was just a poor person without a father or a mother, but so many colleagues and leaders liked her. I was angry just thinking about it.
Thinking about how that woman got promoted and took his position before he traveled through time, and also took away his favorite little boy, he suddenly became furious.
"Madam, there is no need to get angry with a concubine! You should take care of yourself. Your own health is more important. But the eldest lady has been wronged this time. She has lost her appetite for the past two days and is very haggard."
Mother Zhang came forward to comfort her, but every word she said only added fuel to the fire.
"Of course I don't take her seriously. When she was fighting with the second brother's family, I just watched the show. But this time she stretched her hand too far, and even dared to stretch it over Yuan'er's head. She didn't even look at who she is."
The eldest lady still couldn't swallow this breath, but she had plenty of ways to deal with a concubine's daughter. As a noble lady, she couldn't deal with a concubine's daughter?
"She is fifteen this year, so let's get married in the next two days! I remember the master mentioned the young man from the Wang family before. He is a scholar, and his family is noble. He is also the legitimate son, so it would not be a disgrace for her to marry him."
Mother Zhang was thinking about the young man that the eldest lady mentioned in her mind. After a moment, she finally remembered the young man from the Wang family, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
If I remember correctly, the Wang family has been a family of scholars for generations, and their ancestors have produced officials of the third rank or above, but that is the glory of their ancestors.
Today, the Wang family only has the reputation of being a noble family, but in reality they have long been impoverished.
The Wang family was dwindling in number. By the time of Wang Jian's generation, there had been only one son in three generations. His grandfather and father had already passed away, leaving only Wang Jian and his widowed mother to depend on each other.
That widowed mother was not an easy person to deal with. She behaved in a very eccentric and mean manner and had caused many jokes in the capital before.
And because the Wang family is noble, their home is very poor. If the second young lady marries into the family, she will be helping to alleviate poverty!
I heard from the master that Wang Jian relied on his father's friendship with the master to try to climb up the high branch of the Luo Mansion, but he himself had mediocre qualifications and failed the imperial examinations many times. Such a person is definitely not a good match.
"But will the master agree?" Mother Zhang remembered that the second young lady was the daughter of the eldest son after all, so she couldn't marry someone too badly, right?
"The master and Master Wang were close friends in the past. Now that the Wang family has fallen on hard times, wouldn't the master be able to gain a good reputation by marrying his daughter to them?
"Master Wang helped me in the past. I can persuade him again. She is just a concubine's daughter. There are so many concubines in the family. Master won't care."
The eldest lady sneered. Didn't she understand the master? He was the most heartless person. No matter how much she liked Luo Shuhuan's biological mother, she was no longer beautiful and her love was gone.
There are always fresh and young girls. How proud and powerful was that woman in those days? Now she is hiding in a corner of the courtyard, and the master can't even think of her.
"Find a chance to give the Wang family a hint tomorrow and get this done as soon as possible, so as to avoid any more trouble. This girl has a lot on her mind!" The eldest lady sneered, and her heart immediately felt much more comfortable.
Luo Shuhuan returned to her room and was trying to figure out how to go to the banquet five days later. She didn't know that she had brought herself so much trouble just because of a momentary fight.
Jiang Youzhen, who had just returned home, had no idea that the Luozidai that she could easily buy would cause so many troubles for the original heroine.
"Or else you have to earn your own money? You can buy whatever you want with money, but you have to have the money yourself!" Jiang Youzhen was in a good mood as he watched his sisters loving these rouge and powder.
"What is this? So beautiful? It's inlaid with jade and gold?" Si Ya curiously opened the most beautiful brocade box, and when she saw the Luozidai inside, she gasped.
This gorgeous appearance was already an eye-opener for her.
"This is called Luozidai, which is used for drawing eyebrows. It is the same as the eyebrow pencil I bought for you. Yours has musk and scented oil added to it, which is also good. But the one I bought for mom is from Persia, and it can be used as long as it is dipped in water."
Shen also touched the Luozidai and immediately felt distressed. "Is it very expensive? Why did you buy this? I am an old lady, and it is useless for me to use it. I have told you many times to save money. If you do this again, you have to give the money to me for safekeeping next time."
