After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince
Chapter 8 The Fate of the Scammer
Unexpectedly, three days later, Wu Weiwei finally got her chance.
Because of her back pain, Wu Weiwei informed the Lady of the Marquis, so she has not visited Qiushui Pavilion to pay her respects these past few days.
She was sunbathing in the courtyard when Lingfu rushed in in a hurry.
"Miss, great news! The young master is here..."
Chunrou walked behind, happily leading the prince and the female physician carrying a medicine chest inside.
She had thought that it would be a long time before she could see the prince after Wu Weiwei moved into Biyunting, but she never expected that she would see the prince she had been longing for in just a few days.
“Lingfu, how have I taught you? You always panic in the face of trouble. What kind of behavior is this?”
Lingfu's face turned pale, and she stammered, "Miss, I understand. I will definitely not do it again next time."
Wu Weiwei nodded, then gracefully rose from the recliner, straightened her clothes, and stood dignifiedly in place.
When Lu Hanting entered, he saw Wu Weiwei standing there with a poised and elegant demeanor.
He looked at her with deep, dark eyes.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Wu Weiwei gracefully curtsied to him.
"Dr. Lin, Wu Tongfang's back is uncomfortable. Could you please take a look and see what's wrong?"
Although the prince was looking at her, he was speaking to the female physician beside him.
"Then please come in with me, young lady, and let me examine you!"
What did I think it was? It turns out that she had asked the Lady of the Marquis for leave a couple of days ago, saying that her back hurt. Could it be that the young master thought she was faking illness and deliberately sent someone to check on her?
Go ahead and investigate. She's not faking it. Who's afraid of who?
The crown prince sat waiting in the main hall outside.
While waiting, Chunrou brewed a pot of fine Biluochun tea for the young master; the tea was the same one that the Lady Hou had given him that day.
Lu Hanting sipped his tea.
Chunrou, who was serving him, noticed the slight frown on the prince's face as he drank tea, and wondered whether he liked it or not.
She mustered her courage and stepped forward.
With her melodious, warbling voice, she timidly asked, "Young Master, is this tea not to your liking?"
Chunrou believed that her posture as she looked up at the prince was absolutely perfect.
When she had nothing to do at night, she would often look at herself in the mirror, knowing what angle to face the prince, even how often to blink, and what tone and posture would be most alluring to him.
She practiced all of these things countless times in private, hoping to put them to use one day.
Now, thanks to Wu Weiwei's influence, she has finally put her skills to use. One can only imagine how excited she is at this moment, hoping that the prince will understand her heart.
Looking at the affected maidservant in front of him who was trying to seduce him, Lu Hanting's eyes, which had been calm just moments before, suddenly turned into a storm.
Chunrou, who had been standing confidently with her chest puffed out, was so frightened by the sudden flash of cold light in the prince's eyes that she couldn't move. She didn't even hear Lu Hanting shout "Get out!"
When Wu Weiwei finished her physical examination and came out with the female physician, she saw Chunrou being dragged out of the courtyard gate of Biyunting by Liuyun.
"Girl, save me! Please save me..."
Chunrou turned around and shouted for help to Wu Weiwei.
"Your Highness, Chunrou, what mistake did she make..."
Seeing the prince's gloomy face and Liu Yun's disgusted look, Wu Weiwei couldn't help but have a guess in her heart, but she pretended not to know and asked.
"If she's still alive, you might as well go and ask her what good deeds she's done!"
Lu Hanting left Biyunting with a dark expression.
During dinner, Lingfu went to the outer courtyard to inquire and returned to tell her that Chunrou had actually tried to seduce the prince, but the prince saw through her plan and punished her with fifty strokes of the cane.
Because she was born into the household, the servants who were beating her did not use lethal force. She was now barely alive when her father, who was in charge, took her out of the Marquis's mansion for treatment.
From the day they first met, she knew that Chunrou was not a peaceful person. Coupled with the fact that Chunrou "abandoned" her and ran away alone that night at the Rose Pavilion, she had brought this ending upon herself.
However, she was unexpectedly defeated by the prince as soon as she made her move, which can be described as an inauspicious start.
Speaking of this, Wu Weiwei recalled the day when the Lady Hou asked the original owner to serve her in the study. Wasn't the original owner just like Chunrou?
Chunrou has a good father, while the original owner was scared to death by the sword that was thrust at her, which led to Chunrou's transmigration into the book.
Fortunately, the young master was drunk that day, and she took the opportunity to seduce him and rise to power. If she succeeded, she would become half the mistress of this Marquis's mansion; if she failed, she would become the second Chunrou.
Wu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh at the importance of timing, location, and people.
After this incident, there were far fewer maids in the Marquis's mansion who were jealous of Wu Weiwei's successful rise to power, though they were not entirely absent. They simply dared not openly do things like Chunrou did.
After all, everyone is afraid of death. If you end up losing your life instead of seducing someone, it's better to just be a dutiful maid and collect your salary.
Two days later.
Aunt Ping sent someone to tell her that a group of maids would be sent to the mansion by a broker later. Lady Hou then said that because Chunrou had failed in her duty, she was allowed to choose two maids who were usable.
It doesn't really matter how many maids serve her, as long as no more girls like Chunrou appear.
She had initially worried that Chunrou was sent by the Lady of the Marquis to monitor her, but now that she had committed a crime, she had been expelled from the manor.
She only had Lingfu left by her side, and based on her observations of Lingfu over the past two days, she didn't seem to have any ulterior motives.
But Lingfu's indenture wasn't in her own hands, so she was always unsure of herself.
This time, she was given the choice to make her own decision, so the indenture will probably be handed to her!
After having breakfast, Wu Weiwei headed towards Aunt Ping's Plum Blossom Courtyard.
Besides his principal wife, Lady Nie, the Marquis of Dingguo also took five concubines.
Second Aunt Ping was the second daughter of a sixth-rank official in the capital. She had a second son who had just turned fourteen this year. Because she had damaged her body when she gave birth to the second son, she could no longer have any more children.
Because of his reliable work and his ability to please the old lady, and because the Lady of the Marquis disliked managing the household, he was supported to take charge of the household affairs of the Marquis's mansion.
Third Aunt's family were imperial merchants. She now has one son and two daughters. Her son is the third young master of the Marquis's mansion, and her daughters are the fourth and sixth young ladies.
Fourth Madam was the head maid in the Old Madam's courtyard. She had three daughters: Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth.
Fifth Concubine is the youngest and most favored. She is a famous Peking Opera actress in the capital and has a daughter, Ninth Sister, who is currently seven months pregnant with twins.
The fourth and fifth daughters of the Marquis's family have passed the age of coming of age and are ready to be matched with potential husbands.
The matriarch instructed Aunt Ping to find a matchmaker and send a group of men into the mansion for the young ladies to choose from, so that they could prepare for marriage.
When she arrived, all the young ladies of the Marquis's mansion had already gathered.
In the main courtyard, there was a row of about thirty young maids, aged between seven and fifteen.
Wu Weiwei dressed simply today; she was only choosing a maid, and she didn't want to attract too much attention.
Today she wore a moon-white, floor-length dress with water patterns, her hair styled in a simple single bun, and she wore light makeup.
Despite her simple and elegant attire, she possessed an extraordinary aura, and simply standing there, she became the most eye-catching presence in the entire room.
Even so, she still drew a disdainful glance from the fourth young lady of the manor, who then let out a heavy snort.
"So what if she's pretty? She's just a lowly concubine who can't be presented to the public!"
