Slap, a loud slap, followed by the scolding of elder sister Xu Mingzhu.

"How can a lowly servant, a slave-born child, be worthy of marrying the young general?"

Xu Miaoer knelt straight on the ground, with red slap marks on her fair face.

Just looking at the slap mark, you can tell how hard your elder sister hit you.

"Sister, calm down. I'll go and ask father. I'm not worthy of marrying the young general. It's better for my eldest sister to marry him."

Xu Miaoer knelt on the ground and sobbed, with big tears on her fair face, looking so pitiful.

"Bah! Bitch, I won't marry that damned general. Just because you're such a bastard can bring good luck! I think you'll be a widow in a few days."

After saying that, the elder sister walked away with an angry look on her face.

She was afraid that if she was too slow, the marriage would fall on her.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to kick Xu Miaoer.

Xu Miao traveled through time and space and became the second daughter of the Xu family, a concubine's daughter born to a water-boiling maid. From a young age, Xu Miao knew that it was a dream to change the rules of this era with her own strength.

In a slave society, no one knew what human rights were. A single indenture could determine a person's fate.

She waited patiently during this era, waiting for the opportunity to step out of this backyard and see the world outside.

She didn't dare to be different from ordinary people, and lived in the backyard with her little mother every day. Xu Miao was never in a hurry. Life is a marathon, and the one who runs to the end is the winner.

Now, the opportunity has come. She wants to go on behalf of her elder sister to get married.

Seeing her elder sister walk out of the room, the young mother who was kneeling in the corner hurried over, hugged Xu Miaoer tightly, her face full of tears, and said with heartache.

"Son, it's all my fault. I've been suffering."

"Otherwise, I'll go and beg the master, and we won't get married."

The girl was a gentle and kind woman. She was going to be 15 years old and leave home in half a year to marry Brother Goudan, who had been waiting for her for ten years.

Unfortunately, Xu Miao's father, who looked like a good man, became immoral after drinking and forced himself on his young wife.

The girl hit the target with one shot and got Xu Miao.

At that time, my stepmother was very pregnant and about to give birth. She pointed to a corner in the mansion.

Xu Miao and his mother survived in this corner like shadows.

If it weren’t for a month ago, General Zhang’s wife came crying to bring good luck to the young general.

This marriage for good luck cannot fall on Xu Miao.

General Zhang is my elder sister's childhood sweetheart. A nineteen-year-old general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has a bright future.

The young general, wearing armor, excitedly took his elder sister's hand and said, "Mingzhu, when I return after my meritorious service, I will give you a phoenix crown and a robe. I want everyone in the world to envy you."

The eldest sister Xu Mingzhu blushed and said, "Zhang Lang, I'll wait for you."

"The battlefield is full of swords and sabers. I hope Zhang Lang takes good care of himself."

The eldest sister is flamboyant in beauty, while Xu Miao is quiet and serene. Both have inherited their father's good genes.

The battlefield was brutal, and the young general was eager to make a name for himself. He led the charge in every battle, and even when the war was won, he would return home gravely wounded.

When the young general just returned home, his elder sister often visited General Zhang's house.

But later, the young general was seriously injured, and his condition fluctuated for three years. Now he is beyond treatment.

The wedding became the Zhang family's last straw.

The eldest sister has been spoiled since childhood, how could she be willing to marry a dying general? She threatened to die at home, just to avoid marrying him.

The so-called childhood sweethearts are a joke in the face of death.

Xu Miao's father is not very capable, but he is good at dealing with all kinds of human relationships.

Not wanting to offend General Zhang because of the marriage, she then remembered that there was Xu Miao, a concubine's daughter in the mansion who was about the same age as her elder sister.

Xu Miao is going to bring good luck to his elder sister.

"Don't cry, little girl. I let my sister beat me on purpose. I'll go see father soon. Father can't let me marry into the general's mansion empty-handed. I'm injured, and father, taking pity on me, might be able to give me more dowry."

"Besides, if I go there to get married, maybe the young general will get better. I'm destined to be happy, so don't worry, little lady."

"After we get married, I will be the general's wife, and you can hold your head high and not be bullied by the madam and other concubines."

The young woman hugged Xu Miao, tears streaming down her face: "Silly child, things must not be going well for the young general, otherwise why would the lady be willing to give up this marriage and let you get married."

"I just hope my daughter can find a good family and live a peaceful life. I'm not afraid of being bullied, I just want Miaomiao to be well."

Xiao Niang and Xu Miao were trapped in the backyard, and they didn't know how General Zhang was doing now.

But the Xu family has always attached great importance to this marriage.

Because the eldest elder sister wanted to be the youngest general's wife in the Zhou Dynasty, she always held her head high among the noble ladies.

If the young general was still okay, how could it be Xu Miao's turn to get married?

"Oh, Second Miss, please stop crying."

The servant beside Lord Xu said outside the door.

"The master told you to go to the front yard quickly."

Xu Miao hurriedly comforted her mother and followed the servant to her father Xu Jingyi's study in the front yard.

Xu Miao knelt in front of Xu Jingyi with half of his face red.

"Greetings to father."

Xu Miao hasn't seen his father for half a year. The last time he saw him was during New Year's Day.

Her father doesn't care about her, and she doesn't care about her father either.

Xu Jingyi sat upright on the chair in the middle of the study, looking at his second daughter who was kneeling on the ground.

He really couldn't get close to this strange daughter. If the legitimate daughter hadn't been delayed for three years, until the young general was about to die, he really wouldn't have forgotten the Xu Mansion and this second daughter.

"You're going to marry into General Zhang's mansion in two days. What's wrong with your face?"

Mr. Xu paused for a moment and continued.

"Do you understand the importance of this marriage? Your marriage represents the Xu family's commitment to honoring their promise. You must serve the young general well."

"The young general is in poor condition right now. But you must at least keep him alive for six months. You must know that these six months are crucial for the Xu Mansion."

General Zhang is very prestigious in the court. Because of the engagement, he has been supporting Xu Jingyi a lot over the years.

Therefore, even if it means sacrificing a daughter, the marriage must be made successful.

Half a year was enough for General Zhang to accept Xu Jingyi's favor. There would be personnel changes in the court at the end of the year, and Xu Jingyi wanted to use the marriage to reach a new level.

"Don't worry, father. I know how important this marriage is. For the Xu family and for father, I will definitely take good care of the young general. At least in the next six months, I will not let any bad news spread from the Zhang family."

"But father, marriage is not about making enemies."

"Although I'm going to the wedding on behalf of my eldest sister, I'm also representing the Xu family's reputation. After the wedding, if General Zhang recovers, everyone will be happy."

"If anything happens, I hope that Father will consider me a lucky charm and allow me to have the capital to settle down and make a living."

Xu Miao knelt on the ground, neither complaining nor shedding tears. Her face was expressionless.

What a joke! Let me marry with nothing in my hands. Okay, I'm a general's wife, but when I die, I'll be a little widow.

If you don't take any benefits now, when the young general dies, who will remember this concubine's daughter who was married off as a substitute?

After listening to Xu Miao, Xu Jingyi looked up at his second daughter who was kneeling on the ground.

This daughter is quite interesting. She knows how to judge the situation and what to say and do.

It is comfortable to work with smart people. There is no father and daughter at this time, only cooperation of interests.

"Don't worry, I won't let you get married quietly."

"You should act like a good wife. I will give you the full dowry you deserve."

"Later, I'll have my servant bring you some money for your living. Madam has already prepared your dowry. All you have to do is get married in two days."

"Don't worry about your little mother. I will take more time to take care of her. You don't have to worry."

"And your face, take care of it yourself. I'll explain to Mingzhu and won't provoke you again."

Of course she has to marry in a grand manner, otherwise how can General Zhang accept Xu Jingyi's favor?

Xu Miao came out from Lord Xu and went to see the lady again.

Madam Xu was also a daughter of a noble family, and she had known all about the affairs in the backyard since she was a child.

Because he knew his mother's situation, he had never made things too difficult for Xu Miao and her daughter over the years.

Neither make things difficult nor take care of others.

Life and death depend on fate.

Now that she had gotten everything she wanted, Xu Miao returned to the backyard and waited for her marriage.

The wedding dress was something that Madam had sent to my eldest sister, who hadn't wanted it before. My eldest sister had prepared several wedding dresses every year over the past few years.

This is exactly when it comes in handy.
