Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to
Chapter 6 Testing each other
This peaceful and comfortable life had only lasted a few days when Zhang Ruyi, the daughter of General Zhang, returned home.
Because Mrs. Zhang was busy taking care of Zhang Chengyi, she sent her daughter to her parents' home for a short stay. Later, Zhang Ruyi accompanied her grandmother to the temple to pray for the young general. When she returned home, she learned that her brother had married a concubine from the Xu family.
"Bah! You, a slave like you, are unworthy of marrying into the General's Mansion. You and your mother must have used some trickery to snatch this marriage from Sister Mingzhu."
Zhang Ruyi sat on the pear wood chair placed in the middle of Xu Miao's new house, with a group of maids and old women standing behind her.
Holding the teacup, she acted like a legitimate lady and spoke nonsense to Xu Miao.
In the eyes of these legitimate daughters, concubines' daughters were slaves who were not worthy of being on the stage. Their concubines were all seductive and shameless women.
There were also several concubines in the general's mansion, and each of them used all sorts of seductive tactics to win his favor. None of them were good.
The reason why Xu Miao was able to marry into the general's mansion must be that her mother and she had used some hidden tricks.
"Ruyi, please don't be rude. It was mother who got advice from an expert that allowed Xu Miao to marry into the mansion. My health only started to improve after she came into the mansion."
Zhang Chengyi saw that his sister started to be rude to Xu Miao as soon as she entered the room, so he frowned and tried to persuade her.
"Brother, you are sick and confused. Isn't Sister Mingzhu good at getting married? Isn't it enough to just marry in?"
"Speaking of auspicious horoscopes, Sister Mingzhu had her horoscopes compared with yours several years ago. We asked a senior monk in the temple to do it. My grandmother and I went together. The monk said it was a perfect match."
"What a joke! Sister Mingzhu, a legitimate daughter, is not as prosperous as a slave? They must have used some trickery to snatch Sister Mingzhu's marriage."
"Maybe the masters are all in the same group with them."
At this time, Zhang Ruyi's imagination ran wild, and she insisted that it was Xu Miao and her mother who stole the marriage, and that anyone who married in to bring good luck could succeed.
It’s no wonder that Zhang Ruyi looks down on Xu Miao.
Zhang Ruyi and Xu Mingzhu have been good friends since childhood. Because Xu Mingzhu was going to marry into the general's mansion, she always favored Zhang Ruyi, not to mention the rare treasures she would give to Zhang Ruyi every year.
Xu Miao had met Zhang Ruyi several times in the Xu residence, and every time Zhang Ruyi held her head high, never glancing at Xu Miao more than once, as if even glancing at her any more would be an insult to her status as a legitimate daughter.
Xu Mingzhu promised to give Zhang Ruyi a set of headwear when she married into the general's mansion. She also asked Zhang Ruyi to choose her favorite one from the largest jewelry store in the capital.
This time, Zhang Ruyi accompanied her grandmother to the temple to pray for her brother. She was completely sincere and hoped that her brother would get better soon.
"Hmph, just wait. I'll go find Sister Mingzhu and ask if you used some trickery to marry into this family."
After saying that, Zhang Ruyi angrily waved her handkerchief, led the maids and old women out of the house to find Xu Mingzhu.
From the moment Zhang Ruyi entered the room until she left, Xu Miao stood quietly at the door without saying a word.
Xu Miao knew that this day would come sooner or later, and if it wasn't Zhang Ruyi, it would be someone else.
As Zhang Chengyi gradually recovered, rumors began to spread in the mansion, saying that Xu Miao, a concubine's daughter, was not worthy of being a concubine.
Zhang Chengyi was the legitimate son of a noble family and had military merit. Which general's wife would be a concubine's daughter? If she were taken to a banquet in the future, she would be laughed at by others.
If Xu Miao was sensible, she would have asked to be divorced. Otherwise, she could be a concubine. The young general would definitely not treat her badly because of the favor she gave him.
Xu Miao was also waiting to see how the master of Zhang's house would react. He didn't expect the first one to jump out so quickly.
Zhang Ruyi came to her house to make trouble the next day after returning home. How could Mrs. Zhang not know about it? From beginning to end, neither the old lady nor Mrs. Zhang showed up, not even sending a maid to scold Zhang Ruyi.
The time comes too soon to get rid of the donkey.
"Xu Miao, don't take Ruyi's words too seriously. Ruyi has always been straightforward and doesn't speak well. If I meet her, I will definitely scold her."
Zhang Chengyi said this dryly, then walked out of the house and went to the front yard to practice martial arts.
Xu Miao didn't say anything, but sneered in his heart.
If he wanted to scold him, he should have done so from the moment Zhang Ruyi entered the room and opened his mouth. It's not that his body is better now, but his mind is crooked, and he is no longer the little general who was on the verge of death.
When the maid Chun'er saw Zhang Chengyi walking out of the room, she spat fiercely at his back.
"Second Miss, the people in this general's mansion are too evil. If the eldest miss hadn't refused to marry and the master and mistress hadn't pressed her, who would marry a dying general?"
"Now that the young general is better, he starts looking down on others. What kind of people are they? No matter what they say, they are right. If things go well, it's because the young general is lucky, and if things go badly, it's because you, the second young lady, have bad luck. How can this be fair?"
Chun'er was a maid that Xu Miao brought from the Xu Mansion. When she got married, Mrs. Xu casually assigned a maid to Xu Miao, and Xu Miao didn't care.
She grew up among the servants in the backyard and was familiar with them all. Chun'er was a good person.
Seeing Chun'er looking like a little frog, Xu Miao smiled.
"Don't be angry, it's useless. You should help me count how much silver we have when you have time."
Xu Miao wasn't angry. Now that he had money, it was much better than being penniless in the Xu Mansion.
After Zhang Ruyi made this fuss, there was no news of him again.
Chun'er happily said to Xu Miao: It must be the madam and the others who scolded Zhang Ruyi, and now she doesn't dare to enter the backyard.
Xu Miao smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Xu Miao was not as naive as Chun'er. The masters in the mansion were just waiting to see whether Zhang Chengyi's body had fully recovered.
Xu Miao didn't care much about the Zhang family's reaction. She was seeking freedom, not the title of General's Wife. If she could become one, it would mean the Zhang family still had a conscience. If she couldn't, it wouldn't be a big loss.
The few drops of blood fed to Zhang Chengyi had long been replenished in Zhang Chengyi's food, bird's nest today and shark fin tomorrow.
In recent months, Xu Miao found that he had not only grown taller, but also gained a lot of weight.
The worst outcome is that Zhang divorces Xu Miao.
Being divorced was just a bad reputation. As a time-traveling woman, she cared least about her reputation. That thing could neither be eaten nor spent as money.
Xu Miao pretended nothing had happened and continued to prepare medicinal food for Zhang Chengyi as usual. However, she had to wait several days before making him a bowl of the porridge with a higher gold content.
Xu Miao didn't want Zhang Chengyi to get into trouble so soon, she was not ready yet.
Although Xu Miao was the same as usual, Zhang Chengyi was very different.
He would often not be seen for days, and when he came back he would just eat at Xu Miao's place and leave. Xu Miao never asked any questions.
I have to admit that the medicinal food Xu Miao prepared was extremely to Zhang Chengyi's liking. He missed it terribly if he didn't eat it for a few days.
Xu Miao had met Zhang Ruyi once or twice in the mansion, and each time she looked down upon him with disdain.
But he never directly made things difficult for Xu Miao.
