Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

The backyard of Jiazhou government office.

That day, Lu Qian made a scene in front of the whole family, stating that she would not marry anyone but Shen He. Lu Xiuzhang was furious and ordered Lu Qian to be confined to her house, and no one was allowed to release her without his permission.

More than ten days passed. Ever since Lu Xiuzhan found Zhang Shouan, his "golden son-in-law", he had been happily arranging the marriage between Lu Li and Zhang Shouan all day long, as if he had completely forgotten about Lu Qian who was imprisoned.

Thinking of this, Mao curled her lips in anger. She looked at the table of delicious dishes carefully prepared in front of her and whispered, "Jin Chan, quietly bring the second young lady to my room. Remember, don't let anyone find out." The maid Jin Chan took the order and left.

A moment later, Lu Qian rushed into Mao's bedroom. She threw herself into Mao's arms and sobbed, "Mother, why is father so cruel? Why did he wait so long to let me out?"

Mao smelled the strange odor emanating from Lu Qian and pushed her away with some disdain. She said softly, "Your father is busy with your sister's marriage, how could he remember you? Mother will quietly let you out for a while to give you some fresh air." She turned around and ordered, "Jin Chan, take the second young lady to bathe and change clothes first."

"Sister's marriage?" Lu Qian suddenly raised her head, tears welling in her eyes, her voice trembling slightly with anger: "Sister is marrying Shen He? Why so soon?"

Mao quickly covered Lu Qian's mouth and lowered her voice, saying, "Little Ancestor, please keep your voice down. If your father hears you yelling like that, we'll both be in big trouble."

She stroked Lu Qian's messy hair and said softly, "It's not Shen He. Shen He originally came to Jiazhou to propose marriage, but met a singer on the way and has now secretly engaged her. Your father was furious and issued a letter of annulment to the Shen family."

She paused and sneered, "Humph, Shen He would rather marry a singing girl than your sister. It's really laughable."

When Lu Qian heard that Shen He had married the singer, she wasn't angry, but rather slightly relieved. She thought to herself, it was good that Shen He hadn't chosen her sister, so she wouldn't be outdone by her sister.

Shen He was no longer Lu Li's future husband. Lu Qian instantly lost interest in Shen He. She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Mother, if it wasn't Shen He who was discussing marriage with my sister, then who was it?"

A trace of disdain flashed across Mao's eyes, and she curled her lips and said, "The 'ideal husband' your father has found for your sister is Zhang Shouan, who topped the Jiazhou Prefecture Tongsheng exam this year."

Lu Qian's eyes flashed with jealousy, and she pouted and said, "Daddy is really partial. With such a good marriage, why doesn't he think of Qianqian?"

Mao patted Lu Qian's shoulder gently and sneered, "What do you know, little kid? Even though Zhang Shouan is the top scorer, it's still unclear how he'll perform in the provincial and metropolitan examinations. If he doesn't pass, he'll just be a minor scholar. What future can he have?"

She paused slightly, as if thinking of something even funnier. She covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed, "Mother also heard that Zhang Shouan has had a poor health since childhood and has been ill for more than ten years. Last spring, he nearly died of illness. His wealthy father found a barefoot doctor from nowhere and saved him by accident."

Mao's face was full of a pleased smile as she snorted coldly, "Humph, Zhang Shouan looks like he's going to die young. If your sister marries him, she'll be a widow sooner or later."

Lu Qian nodded thoughtfully. She murmured softly, "I thought it was a good match. Doesn't Dad always favor my sister? It's boring!"

Mao poked Lu Qian's forehead with her finger and whispered, "Don't be so obsessed with trying to snatch her away. Your father has never been involved in the affairs of the harem, so why would he consider so many twists and turns? Your mother will personally plan your marriage and will definitely help you find a prominent family."

Lu Qian nodded, her eyes suddenly gleaming with light. "Mother, Qianqian heard that Shengjing City is full of princes and nobles, powerful and well-educated. Qianqian wants to marry into Shengjing City."

Mao's eyes lit up and her mind became active.

Suddenly, a little maid came in quickly, holding an invitation in her hand. She said respectfully, "Madam, the concierge received this invitation. They said it was just delivered by a maid. She said her wife's surname is Liang. Please be sure to read this invitation."

Mao didn't know any Mrs. Liang. She took the invitation in confusion and opened it slowly. What caught her eye was the word "Meng'er".

Mao couldn't help but hold her breath. The only person who called her "Meng'er" was the man she had loved in the past.

Seeing Lu Qian coming over to take a look, Mao hurriedly closed the invitation and said in feigned anger, "Qianqian, go take a shower quickly, otherwise the food your mother prepared for you will get cold."

Lu Qian, however, grabbed Mao's sleeve and insisted, "Mother, let Qian Qian see who Madam Liang is and what she said?!"

Mao evaded the question, "Madam Liang is the lady Mother met the last time she went jewelry shopping. She said Duobao Pavilion has new styles of head ornaments and asked Mother to go shopping."

Lu Qian cheered and said happily, "Mom is going to buy Qianqian a set of ruby ​​headpieces. Qianqian will look great in them!"

"Okay." Mao nodded perfunctorily and gave Lu Qian a push: "Hurry and follow Jin Chan!"

Everyone else in the room left. Mao once again looked at the invitation and muttered softly, "Liang Fu, Mrs. Liang...? It's been more than ten years. Why did he suddenly come to see me?"

She opened the invitation with trembling hands and saw that it said: "Meng'er: Let's have a chat at Zhuyuxuan tomorrow. If Meng'er doesn't come, I will come to Jiazhou Government Office to find you." The signature was "Tan Lang".

Mao's hands tightly grasped the invitation, her fingertips turning white from the force. "Tan Lang" was the nickname she gave Liang Fu when they were secretly meeting and in love. Liang Fu actually dared to write it openly on the paper and threatened her so blatantly. He was so audacious!

Now she has become the wife of the high and mighty prefect, while Liang Fu is just a small businessman. There is a huge difference between the two of them, but Liang Fu did not come to beg her, but to threaten her!

The more Mao thought about it, the angrier she became. The hint of romantic interest she had felt when she received the invitation vanished without a trace. She tore the invitation to pieces and decided not to bother with Liang Fu, the shameless villain...

……

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window lattice onto Mao, but she could not feel any warmth.

She sat restlessly in the room, as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Jinchan, what time is it?" Mao couldn't help but ask again.

Jin Chan was full of doubts, but still answered patiently: "Madam, it's just the beginning of the Si hour."

Mao twisted her handkerchief tightly with both hands, as if trying to crush all the anxiety in her heart. She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Jinchan, change my clothes for me. I need to go out for a while..."
