The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Xu Keke and Dingdang came to the elegant room on the third floor and gently pushed open the door.

This is an elegantly decorated tea room, filled with a light scent of sandalwood.

The sunlight shines through the large window onto the ground, forming patches of light and shadow.

"The light is too bright."

After Nanny Ding came in, she walked to the window and lowered the curtains, and the room suddenly became much darker.

On one side of the room stands a tea table made of high-quality nanmu wood, with clear grain and a warm texture.

A set of exquisite tea sets was neatly placed on the table. The teapot was small and exquisite, and the teacups were as thin as cicada wings.

Xu Keke walked to the tea table and sat down.

The second wife also sat down in the chair next to Xu Keke.

"Dingdang, send some food and a pot of the best Biluochun."

"Okay, ma'am."

Dingdang agreed and quickly went downstairs.

Xu Keke glanced at the layout of the elegant room.

Opposite the window is a soft couch covered with a brocade cushion embroidered with exquisite patterns and soft and comfortable pillows.

There are also several pots of green plants in the corner, which are full of vitality.

The floor was covered with a thick velvet carpet, and you could hardly hear your footsteps when walking on it.

The whole room is quiet and warm, as if it can make people forget the noise and chaos of the outside world.

It is hard to imagine that this place was once a sinful place. It was here that Xu Yuanyuan pushed the original owner, or himself, off the building.

Xu Keke walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked out the window, where she could take in the distant scenery.

Looking down at the ground below, there is a spacious main street made of bricks and cobblestones.

Xu Keke couldn't help but gasp.

If she hadn't hugged the Regent's neck at that time, if she fell from this height, she would have either died or broken her limbs!

Xu Keke stared at the ground downstairs, and suddenly a crazy idea popped into his mind.

If I jump from here again, can I travel back to the original world?

Once this thought came into her mind, it kept circling in her mind.

She bit her lip, her hands unconsciously clenched the curtains, her eyes filled with both anticipation and fear.

The second wife noticed something strange about Xu Keke and asked with concern.

"My dear girl, what's wrong with you? Do you remember what happened that day?"

Xu Keke took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Mom, it's nothing. I'm just a little scared when I think about the scene of falling."

Nanny Ding also spoke to comfort her.

"Miss, it's all in the past. Don't think about it anymore."

"Ah."

Xu Keke responded softly, but her mind was still struggling between whether to jump or not.

Her feet unconsciously took a small step forward and her body leaned forward slightly, as if she was about to jump out of the window in the next second.

But when she saw the bustling crowd and the hard ground downstairs, the fear in her heart instantly prevailed.

She kept asking herself this question.

Do you really want to take this risk?

What if I can’t go back and lose my life instead?

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xu Keke's forehead and her hands were trembling slightly.

She remembered the inspirational words she had once instilled in others.

The fastest yet slowest, the longest yet shortest, the most ordinary yet most precious, the most easily overlooked, and the most regrettable thing in the world is time.

……

You only have one life, cherish it!

……

Let us carry our own sunshine and smile every day and move forward in sync with time.

……

Even if there are storms along the way, you must be a person who is bright but not sad, warm but not cold, sober but not confused.

……

Just as she was struggling in great pain, Dingdang pushed open the door and walked in.

"Miss, Madam, the things have been delivered."

The jingling sound brought Xu Keke back to her senses.

She took a few steps back, away from the window, secretly thanking herself for not acting impulsively in the end.

Yes, time will not go back, and there is no if in life!

What is lost will never come back!

What comes back is no longer perfect!

Cherish the present moment, every day in your life is not a rehearsal.

The waiters in the teahouse swiftly placed the food and a pot of Biluochun tea on the table, then respectfully withdrew.

Xu Keke sat back at the tea table and picked up a cup of Biluochun tea that had just been poured.

She took a sip, and the aroma of tea spread in her mouth, making her feel a little more relaxed.

The second lady looked at her worriedly.

"My dear girl, have you heard the rumors outside? Don't take them to heart!

If you are not happy living in the capital, we can go to the manor and live for a while."

Xu Keke put down the teacup and held the second lady's hand.

"Mother, I've figured it out. The past is the past. There's no point in dwelling on what others say. I won't run away. I'll face the future bravely."

The second wife nodded with relief, tears in her eyes.

"I'm very happy that my daughter thinks this way."

Xu Keke smiled slightly.

"From now on, my daughter will let go of the past and live her life peacefully."

"well!"

The second lady responded repeatedly.

Xu Keke took a deep breath, stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the bustling streets outside, she felt an infinite longing in her heart.

Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. I'll live well for myself and replace the original owner.

In the days that followed, Xu Keke seemed like a different person.

She no longer thought about her past life and completely integrated into this ancient life.

She got up early every day, either reading and practicing calligraphy with her father, or learning needlework with Aunt Ding.

In his spare time, he would help his mother manage the affairs of the house and the shops.

There are new topics emerging in Beijing every day.

Foreign envoys came to congratulate the Grand Empress Dowager on her birthday, the princesses from various fiefdoms had already returned to Shengjing City, and the Grand Empress Dowager received several prominent ladies every day...

When the purchasing woman told Xu Keke and Dingdang about this, she found that her young lady didn't seem to care much.

Finally, I mustered up the courage to speak to Xu Keke.

"My lady, I saw that the Regent King was quite interested in you that day. Are you really going to give it another try?

Xu Keke was slightly startled, then shook her head and smiled.

"Mammy, you can't force this. Besides, I just want to live in the present and not worry about these troubles anymore."

The shopping woman sighed.

"It's quite insightful that Miss thinks this way, but it's a pity that the Regent is such a valuable figure.

The noble ladies of the capital were desperate to marry him, but he was snatched away by someone else. When the time comes, young lady..."

Xu Keke interrupted her.

"Madam, please stop talking. Nothing in this world can go as planned. Besides, our family is not comparable to those aristocratic families. My life now is peaceful and comfortable, which is already wonderful."

Seeing that she couldn't move her, the purchasing woman didn't know what to say. She could only sigh silently and turned around to talk to Aunt Ding.

Yes, it was Aunt Ding who instructed the purchasing lady to tell Xu Keke all the news outside.

The master and his mistress felt sorry for the young lady and let her make her own decision.

Nanny Ding, however, thought more about her second daughter, whose breasts were bigger than hers.

The second young lady has now reached the age of marriage and is expected to be engaged, but her original engagement with the young master of the Shen family has been ruined by the Regent.

Aunt Ding learned about this from an old sister who had a good relationship with Old Xu's family.

Mr. Shen has already been engaged to Miss Xu Yuanyuan from the first wife's house.

This hateful regent not only ruined the young lady's marriage, but also abandoned her.

Nanny Ding was very anxious!
