Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

When Master Li returned home, after hearing his wife's story, he wanted to go see his daughter, but his wife stopped him, saying, "Don't go. Our daughter won't see anyone right now. Let her be by herself for a while!"

Master Li was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll have someone inquire about this Zhou Yu'an tomorrow. If he's a decent person..."

The remaining details were left unsaid by Master Li, but the couple understood that their daughter's best option now was to marry this man named Zhou Yu'an; otherwise, the gossip would be unbearable.

Mrs. Li lowered her head and wiped away her tears, feeling that her daughter's life was so bitter.

After thoroughly investigating everything about Zhou Yu'an, Master Li found him to be a promising individual. Although he was currently only a Xiucai (a scholar who had passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), his academic performance was excellent, ranking first in the county, and the academy had high expectations for him. He believed that this person was by no means mediocre.

So, Master Li brought generous gifts to the Zhou family and explained his purpose. Only then did the Zhou parents realize that their son had saved someone.

Later, Zhou's father brought Zhou Yu'an to the Li family to propose marriage. Master Li was very satisfied with Zhou Yu'an and did not mind that the Zhou family's betrothal gifts were pitifully small. What pleased Master Li the most was that Zhou's father promised that no matter whether Zhou Yu'an passed the imperial examinations or not, he would never take a concubine after marrying Li Yunuan.

The engagement was quickly finalized, and no matter how much Li Yunu objected, it was to no avail.

After Li Yunuan married Zhou Yu'an, she was unwilling and always treated the Zhou family coldly. If it weren't for what happened later, Li Yunuan might have gradually accepted the fact that she married Zhou Yu'an. Even if the two had no feelings for each other, they could have lived out their lives peacefully.

After getting married, Li Yunuan often went home, and Wu Xiyue took the opportunity to meet with her frequently. Li Yunuan knew that she had fallen into the water because she was pushed, but she had no evidence and could not find the person who harmed her. However, Li Yunuan never suspected her friend.

One day, Wu Xiyue invited Yu Nuan to go on a spring outing. Then, she arranged for someone to capture Li Yu Nuan in the suburbs, intending to ruin her chastity. Li Yu Nuan struggled and screamed. Not wanting to be violated, she jumped and crashed into a rock, dying instantly.

After Li Yunuan died, Master Li and Madam Li regretted it. If they hadn't forced their daughter to marry, even if they had kept her as a child and never married, would their daughter still have survived?

After Li Yunuan's death, Wu Xiyue continued to smear her, claiming that she went to the outskirts to meet someone in secret.

In no time, Li Yunuan's reputation was completely ruined in Li County, and everyone felt sorry for Zhou Yu'an for marrying a woman who didn't know how to be a wife.

Master Li and his wife were still grieving the loss of their daughter. By the time they heard the slander against her, it was too late to clear their names. It turned out that the rumors originated from their daughter's friend, Wu Xiyue. The couple were filled with hatred for Wu Xiyue. Master Li began to retaliate against the Wu family, trying to sabotage their business. However, the Wu family had already given Wu Xiyue to an elderly official as a concubine, thus securing her favor. Therefore, Master Li not only failed to avenge his daughter but also caused his business to plummet.

Zhou Yu'an also heard the rumors. Although he had no feelings for his wife and knew that Li Yunuan did not want to marry him, he still believed in Li Yunuan's character. Zhou Yu'an even went to Li's family to tell his parents-in-law that he believed Li Yunuan would not do such a thing and asked them to take care of their health.

Only after her death did Li Yunuan realize that all of this was due to her poor judgment of people, which led to her parents outliving their child and suffering a desolate old age. Li Yunuan regretted it, which is why Yunuan came to fulfill her wish in her stead.

After recalling the original owner's life, Yu Nuan asked, "Yu Yu, what was the original owner's wish?"

"Let our parents enjoy their later years in peace."

That's it? That's it?

"The original owner said that if possible, she wanted to take revenge on Wu Xiyue and make her experience what the original owner had experienced."

"No problem. Do you have anything about Zhou Yu'an?"

"No, the original owner felt guilty towards Zhou Yu'an."

In fact, the original owner of Li Yunuan knew that Zhou Yu'an married her only out of a sense of responsibility, and that marrying Zhou Yu'an was the best choice for her at the time. After the marriage, the Zhou family treated her very well and indulged her in every way. It was just that she was angry with others because she could not marry the person she loved.

Yu Nuan was brought back to reality by the sound of her stomach growling with hunger, and only then did she realize that the original owner of this body had not eaten anything all day.

Food was laid out on the table, brought to Yu Nuan by Zhou Yu'an's younger sister, Zhou Xuanyi. Yu Nuan's beauty had stunned everyone after Zhou Yu'an lifted her veil, and Zhou Xuanyi also adored her as her third sister-in-law. However, Li Yu Nuan showed no joy at the prospect of marriage. Everyone looked at the bride's cold face, unsure what to do, exchanging bewildered glances. Finally, Zhou's eldest sister-in-law spoke up to smooth things over, saying, "Bride, please excuse us. Let's go outside and begin the feast."

Upon hearing this, everyone else left. Zhou Yu'an told Yu Nuan that he was going out to offer toasts and also left the room. After everyone left, Zhou Xuanyi walked up to Li Yu Nuan and said shyly, "Third Sister-in-law, please call me if you need anything."

Li Yunuan didn't raise her head and remained silent.

Sensing Li Yunuan's coldness, Zhou Xuanyi didn't know what to say. She left the room and ran into her mother. Following her mother's instructions, Zhou Xuanyi brought food to Li Yunuan and tried to talk to her, but Li Yunuan still ignored her, lost in her own world.

Yu Nuan wasn't the original owner of this body, so no matter how heartbroken she was, she wouldn't hurt herself. Yu Nuan walked to the table and sat down. The food was a little cold, but Yu Nuan didn't care. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

When Zhou Yu'an opened the door, he saw Yu Nuan eating rather hastily. When Yu Nuan heard someone coming, she looked up and saw Zhou Yu'an standing there watching her. Yu Nuan ignored Zhou Yu'an and continued eating.

Zhou Yu'an came to check on Yu Nuan after hearing from his younger sister that her third sister-in-law wasn't eating. He was surprised to see this scene as soon as he entered. However, Zhou Yu'an didn't ask Yu Nuan why she hadn't eaten. He simply sat down next to Yu Nuan and said, "The food is a bit cold. Let my younger sister heat it up for you."

"No, I'm full."

After finishing the last bite, Yu Nuan put down her chopsticks and said somewhat coldly.

Yu Nuan is still dissatisfied with this marriage, so in order not to let anyone see through her act, she tries her best to act like the original owner of the body and get along with the Zhou family.

Zhou Yu'an didn't care about Yu Nuan's attitude. After hearing that Yu Nuan had finished eating, he started to clear the dishes and chopsticks, preparing to take them to the kitchen.

Yu Nuan was somewhat surprised that Zhou Yu'an would do housework. Although Yu Nuan didn't know what men in ancient times were like, even in modern society, there are still some chauvinistic men who never help with housework, so Yu Nuan was shocked to see Zhou Yu'an tidying up so skillfully.

Yu Nuan sat on the bed for a while when Zhou Yu'an returned, carrying a bucket of hot water. He said to Yu Nuan, "There's a bathtub in the room," and pointed out its location.

The room was dimly lit by candlelight, but in terms of furnishings, the Zhou family was far inferior to the Li family. Their bridal chamber was Zhou Yu'an's former room. The bedroom was small, with a bed, a table, and a dressing table, and nothing else.

Yu Nuan walked behind the screen and saw that the bathtub was new, probably prepared especially for her.

Although the Zhou family was not wealthy, they did their best to make Yu Nuan's accommodations as comfortable as possible.
