Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Mu Zhou lives in Fanghua Pavilion.

The location here is remote. To get back, you have to pass through the Jade Lake in the backyard, several long corridors, a rockery, and a bamboo forest.

After walking for half an hour, Mu Zhou finally saw the shadow of Fanghua Pavilion.

Compared with other residences, this small courtyard looks deserted and shabby.

But after all, it is the wealthy and powerful Prince Qi's Mansion. Even though the courtyard is a bit old, it is still very uniquely built and the surrounding scenery is also nice.

As soon as Mu Zhou returned, he lay on the couch and couldn't get up.

Jumping off the carriage to escape had already exhausted all her strength, and she then injured herself by flying in front of Song Wenchao's horse.

Now I have walked for more than half an hour to get back to my residence, and my body is already exhausted.

At this moment, she was too lazy to even wash up, she just wanted to lie here.

Mu Zhou thought about what happened just now.

It seems that the eldest lady has believed her story, and the elopement has been successfully covered up, so she doesn't have to be sent to the farm.

She remembered the cold look the Second Madam gave her before she left, and the jealousy that Song Yurou could hardly conceal.

The reason why the original owner suffered this disaster was because of her stunning face.

Song Yurou is fifteen years old this year and has reached the age to be married. Her father, the Second Master, is the second son of the old Prince of Qi and the younger brother of the Prince of Qi. Although he holds an idle position, he is no ordinary person and naturally has high standards.

She picked and chose, and finally she and her mother chose the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Taking advantage of the first lady's spring banquet, the second lady wanted Song Yurou to see the original owner in person, but she didn't expect that the prince of the loyal and brave marquis fell in love with the original owner at first sight.

The original owner usually did not attend such occasions, so he just hid in the small pavilion in the backyard, leaning on the railing to feed the fish in the lake to pass the time.

It just so happened that the Prince of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was being led by a servant in the mansion to the back garden to look for an opportunity to meet Song Yurou, and he bumped into the original owner.

Just a glance from a distance attracted the loyal and brave prince and asked the servant who she was.

After the Spring Banquet was over, the Second Lady learned what the Prince of Loyalty and Bravery meant.

Marriage is possible, but he wants to marry two.

Song Yurou is his legal wife and Mu Zhou is his concubine, and he will marry them both on the same day.

This news made Song Yurou furious. She almost ran to the original owner's Fanghua Pavilion to make a scene on the spot. It was only when the Second Madam had the servants try their best to stop her that she was able to do so.

But because of this, the mother and daughter completely hated the original owner.

But the original owner didn't know all this. She only knew that she originally had a little maid serving her, but the housekeeper suddenly said that the mansion needed to save money, so the little maid was transferred away.

Not only that, although it was already winter, the charcoal fire was less than half of last year's. She was afraid that it was not enough and did not dare to burn more, so she could only shiver in the cold every day.

All her allowances were treated harshly, and her life became increasingly difficult.

In fact, after a little inquiry, she found out that how could a family like the Prince of Qi's Mansion be short of such things as hers? Even the little maid's room on the lowest floor had a full charcoal fire.

But the original owner was timid and weak in character, so she accepted what the housekeeper said.

Just like now, Mu Zhou wrapped himself in two layers of quilts but couldn't keep out the cold in the room.

With Song Yurou's personality, it was impossible for her to accept that her things were coveted and shared by others, not to mention that the person she wanted to share them with was the original owner whom she had always looked down upon.

She couldn't even accept being her future husband's concubine, let alone a noble concubine.

Just one meeting was enough to seduce the Prince of Loyalty and Bravery to come up with such a plan. If she were to enter the mansion, who knows how seductive she would become.

But Song Yurou didn't want to give up marrying into the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion, so she could only pester her mother to destroy the original owner and not let her become the Zhongyong Marquis's son's concubine as she wished.

Of course, the Second Lady would not stand idly by.

She set her sights on her nephew Luo Rong.

She could see that Luo Rong had some thoughts about the original owner.

The Second Madam had thought that after Luo Rong got married, it would not be impossible to give Mu Zhou to him.

It’s just that because of what happened to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, she now doesn’t want to honor the original owner at all.

But the original owner was taken in by the old lady after all. If he died inexplicably, there would be hidden dangers.

So she came up with a vicious plan.

She asked the maids and the nanny to brainwash the original owner from time to time about how good Luo Rong was to her, and deliberately arranged opportunities for the two to be alone together.

She herself also said some encouraging words, overtly or covertly, but no one could find fault with them.

The Second Madam knew very well that the original owner had no opinion of his own and was easily persuaded.

So soon, the original owner took the advice and prepared to elope.

As for Luo Rong's father, she was not worried about being blamed.

Luo Rong's father was not the second wife's biological brother, but a poor student taken in by the second wife's father. Unexpectedly, he later passed the imperial examination and became an official in the court.

The relationship between the two families became much closer.

Moreover, the second wife would pretend to find out by accident before the two eloped, and then notify Luo Rong's father to bring them back.

In this way, she could also do a favor for Luo Rong's father and make the relationship between the two families closer.

Everything was planned well, but Luo Rong still had no intention of eloping.

He was not stupid, he was also afraid that doing so would disappoint his father.

Just when the Second Madam and Song Yurou were getting anxious, Luo Rong suddenly made a move, which made them very excited.

So I went with the flow and continued with the original plan.

That's what happened tonight.

Mu Zhou hid in the quilt, his teeth chattering from the cold. Finally, he could not lie still any longer, so he stood up and walked around the room to warm himself up.

We have to think of a solution quickly, otherwise we may not be able to survive this winter.

Tomorrow is the fifteenth.

Thinking of this, she lit a candle and began to copy Buddhist scriptures in the dim light.

I copied until late at night and then went back to bed.

Early the next morning, Mu Zhou washed up simply with dark circles under his eyes, picked out a green padded jacket to wear, and wore a layer of quilted fabric inside to keep warm.

It’s just that the original owner was very thin. Even with all these layers of clothes, she still had a slender figure, as delicate as a willow in the wind.

Today is the day to pay respects to the old lady.

Mu Zhou set off early, carrying a large stack of Buddhist scriptures and going to the small Buddhist temple behind the old lady's yard.

She explained to the nanny that these were Buddhist scriptures she had copied during this period to pray for the old lady.

Then he waited quietly outside the old lady's yard. When the time was almost up and someone came, he followed her into the house, sat at the back in a low profile, and listened to everyone's laughter.

The Song family does not have many descendants.

On the eldest wife's side, only the crown prince Song Wenchao is born of a legitimate wife, and there is also a son and daughter born of concubines.

The second house only has one legitimate son, Song Yurou, and the rest are two illegitimate sons.

The two sons of the second wife have been sent to join the army to earn military merits.

In addition to the absence of the two of them, Song Wenchao also rarely appeared in such occasions.

The number of grandchildren present could be counted on one hand, so the old lady naturally didn't care much about whether they were legitimate or illegitimate children. She treated them all equally and was nice to them.

Of course, this is when Song Wenchao is not around. Once he shows up, the old lady will naturally not tolerate anyone else.
