Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight

The Xianfeng Pavilion, which was once regarded as the residence of the next heir apparent, is now the most desolate courtyard in the Marquis of Weining’s mansion.

Su Xuruo struggled to open her eyelids, only to be met with complete darkness and silence. The only sounds were the throbbing pain in her forehead and the strong smell of medicine lingering around her nose, which told her that everything that had just happened was a dream.

She did not expose Liu Yuwan's true colors, did not have a loving marriage with Qin Sheng, and did not become the enviable First-Rank Marquis's wife. All that belonged to her was her blind eyes, her sickly body, and the title of the eldest young mistress that did not live up to her name.

During the days she lay in bed, she asked herself if she regretted it, and the answer was naturally no. After her mother passed away, she realized that she could only fight for what she wanted, and that silently waiting would only earn her the indifference of others.

She did nothing wrong. The wrong thing was that the scoundrel was too cunning and that she underestimated her opponent. One careless move led to her complete defeat and such an end, and even caused Granny Wang to die from her punishment.

Su Xuruo felt a growing hatred. She vowed to avenge this wrong and never be a human being again. Since Qin Sheng had wronged her, she, Su Xuruo, would repay him a thousandfold for the humiliation she had suffered today.

Su Xuruo sat on the edge of the bed in only a white nightgown, her hair disheveled. Her empty eyes seemed to be filled with hatred. Her fingertips scratched her palms, and blood soaked a large area of ​​her sleeves. Now she looked like a demon from the underworld.

The young maid who came to deliver the medicine was terrified when she saw this scene. She couldn't see the woman in front of her as the same person as the high and mighty lady of the past. She also wanted to leave Xianfeng Pavilion like her sisters, and she didn't know when this kind of life would end.

The young maid was worrying about her future when she suddenly heard a soft female voice: "Who's there?"

Upon hearing the sound, the maid was startled and immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness: "Madam, please forgive me. This servant was clumsy and disturbed your peace."

Hearing the fear in the other person's voice, Su Xuruo chuckled softly and continued in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, what's your name?"

"My name is Ping'er," Ping'er replied respectfully, though she didn't know why the lady was being so agreeable today.

Upon hearing this, Su Xuruo nodded slowly and said softly, "Get up quickly, the ground is so cold, what if you get sick?"

Ping'er responded softly, slowly stood up, looked at the medicine soup beside her, paused for a moment, and continued, "Madam, today's medicine..."

Before Ping'er could finish speaking, Su Xuruo said, "Bring it up."

Ping'er looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. Just a few days ago, she had witnessed Su Xuru smash the medicine bowl to pieces, and the hysterical screams still seemed to echo in her ears.

Are you being so easy to talk to now?

Su Xuruo drank the medicine in one gulp without changing her expression. More than anyone else, she wanted to recover quickly, because only then could she avenge herself for the humiliation she had suffered.

Seeing that Su Xuruo had finished the medicine, Ping'er put away the bowl and tried to leave. Since waking up, Su Xuruo had disliked people getting close to her, probably because she didn't want to bring bad luck upon herself.

Before she could leave, Su Xuruo spoke up: "Ping'er, is there any joyous occasion in the manor?"

Ping'er was still young, but seeing that Su Xuruo had softened her attitude, she became bolder and replied to her: "Reporting to Madam, it is the Dragon Boat Festival banquet. The old madam ordered the second young mistress to manage the household, and now this banquet is being organized by the second young mistress. The music you heard was the lion dance that the second young mistress invited. Even the Marquis praised the second young mistress."

Su Xuruo was taken aback upon hearing this. Jiang Rou? Her widowed sister-in-law, whom she had never paid any attention to? Did she really have such abilities? Did the old lady trust her so much?

One question after another came in quick succession. It took Su Xuruo a long time to calm her resentment and anger. No rush. None of those who plotted against her will escape.

Jiang Rou, who was being resented by Su Xuruo, was completely unaware of this. She looked at the small and exquisite gilded rhombus bowl in front of her, while 021's incessant voice rang in her ears: "Rou Rou, someone has tampered with this, to stuff a woman into your man's bowl."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou raised an eyebrow slightly, picked up a spoon and slowly stirred the contents of the bowl, her voice languid: "Oh~, is this a love potion or aphrodisiac?"

021 shook his head and said, "It's an aphrodisiac that's even stronger than these two. I've already investigated. The Yunqi Incense, the catalyst for this drug, has been lit in the wing room on the east side of the banquet hall. The two alone have no effect, but if they're combined, it's probably unrealistic to expect to counteract the drug's effects in this era."

As soon as 021 finished speaking, Jiang Rou slowly drank the soup in the bowl. After a second of silence, 021 screamed, "Rou Rou, what are you doing?"

Jiang Rou slowly wiped the soup stains from her lips with a handkerchief, and said unhurriedly, "You switched the soup, didn't you? You just wanted me to drink it."

Upon hearing this, 021 instantly felt as if a huge pot had been placed on its head, and it cried out, "I didn't!"

Seeing this, Jiang Rou chuckled softly, her gentle voice filled with laughter: "Just kidding, 021, you're not cute at all."

021 snorted coldly upon hearing this. Jiang Rou chuckled and then explained, "Alright, didn't you say a few days ago that Qin Yue started recovering his memories ahead of schedule? He'll probably be back soon. If I want to take things a step further with Xie Jingci before he comes back, isn't this the best opportunity?"

021 was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and murmured, "You can't joke around with yourself. I haven't fully analyzed the properties of this medicine yet. What if it's harmful to you?" 021's tone became more and more anxious as it spoke.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou said gently, "Aren't you still here?"

Upon hearing this, 021 was deeply moved. How fortunate it was to have met such a good host!

Although Jiang Rou organized the banquet and even won the old Marquis's praise, Madam Xu was indifferent. The reason was that Jiang Rou, this puppet, was not under her control.

Following behind Madam Xu, Song Xiangning looked at Jiang Rou, who was standing alone in the same spot, and glanced at her with some concern. Jiang Rou smiled back at her, indicating that she was alright.

She is truly alright, after all, her scenes haven't even started yet.

Cui Tao, on the other hand, was quite indignant. She knew better than anyone how much effort her young mistress had put into this banquet, yet she was being treated so coldly now, which was truly unreasonable.

Cui Tao couldn't help but feel a little wronged: "Miss..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a voice trembling with tears: "Sister!"

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Rou dropped the cup in her hand. She slowly turned her head and met the gaze of the girl running towards her. Before she could even react, tears were already falling.

Jiang Wei disregarded her usual etiquette and rushed into Jiang Rou's arms. Looking at her sister, who was even thinner than she had been three years ago, her longing over the years finally broke down, and she burst into tears: "Sister, I missed you so much."

The girl's voice was filled with grievance, but her thin arms held the person tightly, as if afraid that the person in front of her would disappear again if she wasn't careful.

Jiang Rou's voice trembled uncontrollably: "Wei'er? You are my Wei'er."

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure appeared before her. Jiang Rou stared blankly at it, seemingly unable to believe it.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Cui Tao burst into tears of joy: "Madam, you've arrived!"
