After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 19

In front of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion

Madam Sang, the most capable housekeeper of the Marquis's wife, was waiting at the door with her maids.

When she saw Luo Shuiyao's carriage approaching the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, she quickly walked forward a few steps and stood respectfully beside the carriage.

Du Juan jumped out of the carriage first, opened the curtain, and then reached out to help Luo Shuiyao get out of the carriage slowly. As soon as Luo Shuiyao got out of the carriage, she saw a vermilion door.

The gate was half open, and the stone lions on both sides of the gate looked majestic and glaring. Even before getting close, one could feel an invisible pressure.

She muttered to herself: This is what a truly wealthy family looks like, okay? Those things shown on TV are so far from this, okay?!

After secretly gasping in amazement, she turned to look at Madam Sang who was waiting on the side, bowed, and said softly, "Greetings, Madam."

Nanny Sang smiled brightly and bowed slightly in return, "Miss, you have worked hard on the journey. Madam is looking forward to seeing you.

Nanny Sang was a maid who had been serving the Marquis' wife since she was a child. She followed the Marquis' wife into the Marquis' Mansion and later married the steward of the Marquis' Mansion.

She has been serving the Marquis' wife all these years. She has seen many beauties in the capital for so many years, but a beauty like the girl in front of her is extremely rare.

Her waist was as slender as a willow, she was weak and swaying in the wind, and her face was pale, which made people feel pity for her.

Mother Sang sighed inwardly, thinking that a woman of this appearance would probably cause quite a stir in Kyoto. As the most favored housekeeper beside the Marquis's wife, she naturally knew the true origin of this cousin.

She came from a rural background, but had such a skin as white as mutton-fat jade. It could only be that she was born that way. If no one protected her, such a beautiful woman would definitely not have a good ending. So it seems that this woman is a blessed one.

However, the two young masters in my family are still unmarried. If this woman is not a well-behaved person, she will definitely cause unrest in the family. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to remind my wife.

She calmed herself down, still with a gentle smile on her face, and said to Luo Shuiyao: "Miss, the lady is waiting inside, let's go in quickly."

Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly and followed Nanny Sang into the main courtyard of the Marquis's mansion. The sunlight shone on the bluestone road, illuminating her slender figure like a beautiful painting.

She naturally didn't know that the nanny beside her was already thinking about how to remind the Marquis's wife to be on guard against her. If she knew, she would definitely sigh and say that people become more cunning as they grow older.

In the original novel, wasn’t the Marquis’ Mansion in turmoil caused by the original owner?

At this time, the heroine had been brought into the main hall of the Marquis's mansion by the Marquis's wife.

The original owner's place was not much different from the heroine's home, but the heroine walked faster than the original owner and arrived an incense stick earlier.

But in the original novel, she was one step late because the original owner was unreasonable all the way. Now she was not delayed at all on the road, so how could she be one step late than the heroine!

Is she destined to be the heroine's foil?

Thinking of this, she shook her head vigorously, throwing away the messy thoughts in her mind. The heroine is kind and virtuous, and as long as she doesn't provoke her, the heroine should ignore her.

In the original novel, the marquis' wife was waiting at the door of the marquis' mansion, but the heroine arrived first, so the marquis' wife took the heroine in, leaving only Nanny Sang waiting at the door of the marquis' mansion. After the original owner entered the capital, she was already lost in the glory and wealth before her.

When she saw a graceful and elegant woman, she thought she was the marquis's wife, bowed deeply to her, and called her aunt. This incident was later ridiculed behind the back by the noble ladies in Kyoto for a long time.

Main Hall of the Marquisate

Madam Yang Ruoyun was sitting in the main seat, and on her right sat a beautiful woman.

"Zhao Zhao, since you have come to the Marquis' Mansion, just treat it as your home and don't be too restrained. Your mother and I have known each other since childhood. We had a very good relationship, but we gradually lost contact after we each got married. I thought we had a long time to go, but I didn't expect..." As she spoke, she thought of her deceased sisters and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Seeing her like this, Lu Zhaozhao quickly stood up and patted Madam Hou's back. "Don't cry, Auntie! My mother in heaven wouldn't be happy if she knew you were so heartbroken because you missed her. My mother always told me you were her best sister. Even though you two have your own families and can't see each other often, she knows your hearts are always together."

As she spoke, she took the Marquis's hand, looked into her eyes and said mischievously, "If you still miss my mother, why don't you just treat me as your mother? Just think of my mother as my appearance and stay with you forever."

"Haha, the wife of the marquis, who was crying sadly, couldn't help but burst into laughter when she heard her words.

She picked up a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then she stretched out a finger and gently tapped Lu Zhaozhao's forehead. "You, child, really look like your mother when she was young!"

She looked at the girl in front of her who looked like her best friend, her eyes filled with memories.

Ye Yunxing sat aside, looking at Lu Zhaozhao with admiration in his eyes. He thought that this sister was really amazing. His father had warned him and his elder brother since they were young not to make their mother cry, because although his mother seldom cried, when she did, she could break down the threshold of the marquis's mansion.

When he was young, he had the good fortune to witness an incident where his father made his mother angry and she cried from sunrise to sunset. From then on, he didn't dare to provoke his mother. After all, he didn't have the patience to coax her like his father did.

"Madam, Miss Luo is here," the atmosphere in the hall was warm, and the voice of Nanny Sang came from the door.

The Marquis's wife looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw the girl following Nanny Sang. She quickly stood up and called softly, "Bring her in quickly."

Nanny Sang led Luo Shuiyao into the main hall. Luo Shuiyao looked at the affectionate mother and daughter in front of her and sighed secretly: "It seems that it will not be easy for her to please the Marquis' wife!"

"My humble daughter greets the Madam," Luo Shuiyao only took a glance, then bowed slightly and spoke softly.

"My dear child, you have suffered a lot. Now that you are here, you should treat the Marquis' Mansion as your own home. From now on, just call me aunt, just like Zhao Zhao."

Then he pointed at Lu Zhaozhao and said, "This is Zhaozhao, she's a few months older than you, you can call her sister.

Luo Shuiyao looked at the beautiful woman opposite her, Lu Zhaozhao, the heroine of the original novel, a woman with both wisdom and beauty, and the person the original owner was jealous and envious of.
