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

Chapter 23

Chunhuayuan

When Luo Shuiyao entered her room, she rushed forward and fell onto her bed.

Oh my god, this was the first time she had slept in such a comfortable bed in all the days she had been here. She rolled around in the soft quilt, feeling incredibly happy.

She felt that she was so lucky. In the future, someone would provide her with food, drink, and serve her. Life would be so good.

Dujuan quickly closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one noticed.

Seeing her young lady lying in a large cross-legged position on the bed, she shook her head helplessly and walked forward, saying, "Young lady, now that we are at the Marquis's residence, you should pay attention to your manners. I've heard that the young ladies in Kyoto are all very well-mannered. We must not let anyone look down on us."

Luo Shuiyao shook her head nonchalantly when she heard Du Juan's words. In her opinion, she was just a young lady who came to ask for money. No matter how well she learned the etiquette and rules, no one in Shengjing would pay attention to her.

She imagined the days of living in a corner and waiting to die, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise up, revealing a happy smile.

Du Juan, who was standing aside, looked at her young lady's miserable appearance and sighed helplessly.

After spending these days together, she finally understood that her young lady only ate and slept all day long and didn't care about anything else. It was such a waste of her beautiful face.

"Miss," Du Juan walked forward, slowly squatted beside the bed, and looked at Luo Shuiyao.

Luo Shuiyao noticed Du Juan's actions, turned her head slightly, and stretched out an arm to support her head. She looked at Du Juan, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Her voice was soft but with a hint of unquestionableness, and her eyes revealed curiosity, waiting for Dujuan to speak out what was in her heart.

"Miss."

Du Juan hesitated for a long time before finally speaking out her doubts. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Miss, why did you say that to the Marquis's wife today?"

Luo Shuiyao didn't react for a moment, and asked with confusion on her face: "In that case? What did you say?"

Du Juan bit her lip lightly and continued, "You said that your life span would be shortened. Why did you say that? There are gods above us. If it really comes true, what should we do?"

Luo Shuiyao only then realized what she was talking about. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and chuckled, "Oh? Are you worried about that? It's nothing. Even if there are gods, they can't harm me."

In the original novel, Marquis Zhongyong and Ye Yunzhou lived much longer than her. She was just a cannon fodder and could not compare to the big boss's family, so there was nothing to worry about.

Seeing Luo Shuiyao's indifference, Du Juan became more anxious and said, "Miss, you can just give me some gifts. Why do you still say this about yourself?"

Seeing the anxiety and worry in Du Juan's eyes, Luo Shuiyao sat up, took her hand, and let her sit on the edge of the bed. She slowly said, "I am just the daughter of a subordinate of the Marquis. The Marquis and his wife were kind enough to send someone to bring me to the capital. Logically, I should give them something in return, but I am penniless and they are well-informed, so I naturally can't give them anything good. So I can only find another shortcut. After all, we may have to live here for a long time to come. If we can please them, our lives will be much better."

Luo Shuiyao didn't want to tell Dujuan these things, but seeing that Dujuan cared too much, she had to break them down and explain them to her in detail.

At this moment, Luo Shuiyao's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and intelligence. She knew very well that her status in this marquis's mansion was low, and if she wanted to live a stable life, she had to find a way to please the marquis's wife and others.

What she said about shortening her life was just to attract the attention of the marquis' wife and make her look at her differently.

Du Juan listened to the young lady's words and understood what she meant. She held the young lady's hand tightly, her eyes full of emotion and determination. She secretly made up her mind to take good care of the young lady and work hard to survive in this mansion with her.

Ming Hua Tang,

The main courtyard of the Marquis's Mansion is also the courtyard where the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his wife live.

At this time, Marquis Zhongyong had returned to the house, and his wife told him what had happened today.

When talking about Luo Shuiyao, she sighed slightly and said, "In fact, when you wanted to bring her back, I was quite dissatisfied. But after meeting her today, I just felt that this child is kind-hearted and knows how to be grateful. She is a good child. From now on, we will treat her well and fulfill Lieutenant General Luo's loyalty. It's just a matter of a dowry in the future, so it won't be a big deal."

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Madam, you are absolutely right. Lieutenant General Luo has served me for many years, loyally and devotedly. Now that his only daughter has come to our house, we must take good care of her."

The Marquis's wife nodded, then shook her head slightly when discussing her eldest son's actions today. "I don't know what that kid was thinking. He gave Zhao Zhao an inkstone, but gave Yao Yao a women's ring."

As she spoke, she frowned angrily, "This brat is getting more and more disobedient as he grows older."

Upon hearing this, Yong Hou frowned and said in a deep voice, "What? He actually did such a thing?"

When he saw his wife's angry face, he quickly patted her hand and comforted her, "Don't be angry. When I see him tomorrow, I will definitely give him a good scolding."

While comforting his old wife, Marquis Zhongyong was secretly thinking in his heart that he had to summon Manager Zhang to ask whether the two had any conflict on the road.

Marquis Zhongyong knew his son's temperament and character very well. There must be a reason why he did such an inappropriate thing this time.

Marquis Zhongyong decided to wait until he saw his son tomorrow and ask him everything in detail. He would not let him act so willfully.

The next morning, warm sunlight shone through the window and gently fell on Luo Shuiyao's face.

Du Juan had already prepared water and helped her wash up. Afterwards, the master and servant went to the Marquis's courtyard to pay their respects.

Before leaving, Luo Shuiyao knocked on the heroine's door, wanting to go with her, but was told that the heroine had already left.

Luo Shuiyao looked up at the sky. It was only eight o'clock in the morning at the latest. How early had the heroine left? She secretly sighed in her heart, worthy of being the future model of Kyoto boudoir women. The heroine was too virtuous.

I can’t compare, I can’t compare. Luo Shuiyao shook her head secretly, put these thoughts aside for the time being, and stopped dwelling on this matter.

She raised her chin slightly, her eyes regaining their usual calmness. Then, she and Du Juan headed towards Minghua Hall.

Ming Hua Tang

After the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his wife finished washing up, they walked towards the dining hall together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the dining hall, I saw Lu Zhaozhao and Nanny Sang preparing the food together.
