I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

After meeting Cheng Yu today, Yang Jinxi felt that Cheng Yu's personality was quite likable.

She says whatever she wants to say, and the key is that she is very thoughtful and thinks about many things comprehensively.

She was happy about this.

Only then did she say that it would be good for Cheng Yu to come earlier and accompany her for a few days.

Cheng Yu did not agree immediately, but said that depending on the time, she could go two or three days earlier.

Yang Jinxi said hello and welcomed her to come early.

Afterwards, he asked someone to send Cheng Yu to the door. Unfortunately, Yang Huaiyuan, who had said he was leaving, was actually outside the Marquis' Mansion, seemingly talking to someone.

Cheng Yu wanted to turn around and leave quietly.

But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.

Yang Huaiyuan's voice called out from behind, "Madam Cheng, are you going home? But do you have a carriage? If not, let me take you back in my carriage."

Cheng Yu hurriedly said, "Don't bother you, Lord. I have to go buy some things later. Don't bother you."

Yang Huaiyuan nodded and didn't force her.

"Madam Cheng cooked a good meal today. If you want to find a job in the future, you can come to the Marquis's Mansion and be a cook. You can ask for the monthly salary."

This job came to me on my own initiative.

Cheng Yu chuckled and said, "Thank you for your favor, my Lord. I finally have some freedom now, and I want to enjoy it more."

Yang Huaiyuan wanted to say something to Cheng Yu when he heard his deputy general Yang Jun come to report that the emperor had summoned him.

Faintly, Cheng Yu heard Yang Jun say a few words about the prince Zhao Shiyan...

Perhaps because he was on her mind, Cheng Yu listened to what he said a little more.

Yang Huaiyuan said goodbye to Cheng Yu, turned around and got on the carriage, heading towards the direction of the imperial palace.

Cheng Yu was waiting outside the door for the carriage prepared by the Yang family. Exactly a quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived.

The servant shouted, "Madam Cheng, please get in the car."

Cheng Yu nodded slightly, got on the carriage, and went straight home.

Outside the side door, there was a pretty figure hiding. She had just seen it all. She saw her brother-in-law talking and laughing with the little cook.

This is something her brother-in-law has never done to her or her sister.

My sister and brother-in-law's marriage was arranged by their parents and the matchmaker, and they always treated each other with respect.

Her brother-in-law cleared the backyard for her sister, but she still felt that her brother-in-law's kindness to her sister was the most basic loyalty of a husband to his wife and had nothing to do with love.

Perhaps, even if her brother-in-law married another woman, he would still treat her well.

Mingqiao felt that it was a sad marriage.

But she couldn't tell this to her sister.

It turns out that my brother-in-law can laugh, and he laughs very brightly and easily, without any sadness between his brows.

She and her sister are both causes of worry to him.

After realizing this, Mingqiao felt very disappointed.

She went back to the backyard and checked on her sister, only to find that she was asleep again. Since the Chinese New Year, her sister had been sleeping more and more, which was not a good sign.

Mingqiao didn't dare to go anywhere else and just stayed by her sister's side.

It was almost dark when Fang woke up.

"Ming Qiao, what's wrong with your eyes? Why are they so swollen? Did you cry again? Why do you love to cry so much? If you're like this, how can I feel at ease when I leave?"

"Sister, don't talk nonsense."

Ming Qiao's tears started to flow again as she spoke.

"Sister, I don't want to marry my brother-in-law. He may have a girl he likes. That girl has a good personality, a good temper, and loves to laugh."

When Fang heard this, she started coughing violently.

"Ahem, who is that person?"

"Why haven't I heard anyone talk about it?"

Ming Qiao told her sister what she had found out. She actually wanted her sister to stop being obsessed with letting her, her own sister, marry her brother-in-law.

"...You mean, the Marquis knew Madam Cheng a long time ago, and Madam Jin asked Madam Cheng to prepare the birthday banquet for the old lady, but it was the Marquis who recommended her?"

Ming Qiao shook her head. "I don't know about this. People in the eldest lady's courtyard said that she was recommended by the eldest lady of Prince Jing's Mansion, who was her acquaintance."

Fang coughed a few more times.

Grabbing Mingqiao's wrist, "Mingqiao, you must marry Yang Huaiyuan, do you know that? Our Fang family cannot sever its relationship with the Marquis' Mansion. As long as you marry Yang Huaiyuan, this marriage relationship can continue to exist."

"Ming Qiao, you have to listen to me on this matter. You must listen to me."

Seeing the terrifying look in her sister's eyes, Mingqiao was scared.

"Sister, what are you going to do? What are you not going to do?"

Mingqiao thought that her sister would threaten to commit suicide.

I didn't expect my sister would drug me.

***

When Ming Qiao was carried by two maids to Yang Huaiyuan's room, there was still resistance in her eyes.

She saw Yang Huaiyuan standing at the door, staring at her with gloomy eyes, and she became even more frightened.

Yang Huaiyuan drank a bowl of soup from his wife's yard, and felt strange reactions on his body, so he went straight back to his residence.

After returning to the room, he found someone lying on his bed. That person was his wife's younger sister, his sister-in-law.

Yang Huaiyuan knew that he was being plotted against.

Ming Qiao shook her head helplessly, but she was also drugged by her sister.

Her own sister was worried that Yang Huaiyuan would chase Fang Mingqiao away and marry the young cook Cheng Yu outside after her death, so she drugged her in advance.

First, she drugged her sister and sent her to the bed in Yang Huaiyuan's room, and then she called Yang Huaiyuan to have dinner with her.

Yang Huaiyuan had already eaten, and his wife said, if he didn't want to eat, he could just have a bowl of soup.

Yang Huaiyuan had no doubts.

After all, she is my wife of nearly ten years.

After finishing the soup, he immediately felt hot all over and looked at his wife with a puzzled look.

However, Fang called Deputy General Yang and helped the Marquis back to the room to rest.

Just like that, when Yang Huaiyuan returned to the house, he saw his wife's sister lying on his bed. Her clothes were as transparent as a cicada's, and she was barely visible, which was very seductive.

Yang Huaiyuan entered the room.

Lieutenant General Yang didn't even dare to look inside as the door was closed.

"Fang Mingqiao, do you really want to climb into my bed? You two sisters are really calculating."

"Are you so low as to strip naked and climb into my bed?"

"I'm telling you, even if I sleep with you, I won't marry you."

Yang Huaiyuan was furious and tore Fang Mingqiao's clothes. Fang Mingqiao cried silently. She wanted to explain, but would Yang Huaiyuan listen to her explanation at this time?

The answer is yes.

"Why are you feeling wronged? Could it be that you were forced into this?"

"Isn't this the result you want? I'll give it to you."

Ever since Yang Huaiyuan's wife became ill and unable to take care of her husband, Yang Huaiyuan began to live a celibate life. In order to respect his wife, he did not touch other women.

Unexpectedly, his wife and her sister drugged him and plotted against him.

Fang Mingqiao shook his head.

"Don't pretend to be innocent in front of me. You're disgusting."

Fang Mingqiao didn't say what she wanted to say, and she bit her lip.

She wanted to say that it hurt a lot, it hurt so much, her body felt like it was being split in half. She had been afraid of pain since she was a child, and when her finger was pricked by a needle, she would cry for a long time.

After an hour, Yang Huaiyuan was exhausted.

The effect of the medicine in his body was released, and he stood up without any reluctance and put on his inner clothes.

"I didn't let the maids carry you back because I wanted to give you face and also give your sister respect. From now on, you will be a concubine in the backyard. It is impossible for you to want anything else."

How can it be so easy to get something by despicable means?
