AWB Chapter 1: The Marquis's Real Gold
Chapter 1: The Marquis's Real Gold
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
"Couple greetings!"
Didn't she get killed while trying to save a little boy from falling from a building? How come she was getting married in the blink of an eye? The weirdest thing was that as a bride, her hands and feet were sore. Was she drugged?
The word "drug" seemed to have touched a switch in this body, and a large number of unfamiliar memories came flooding back like a tide.
Oh my! Is she lucky or unlucky? If she is unlucky, rebirth after death is indeed a great blessing. Lucky, she not only traveled to the ancient society with strict social hierarchy, but also became the wronged real daughter in a book called "The Fake Daughter is the Group's Favorite".
As soon as she was brought back, she was drugged by the reborn fake daughter and stuffed into the sedan chair that was supposed to belong to the fake daughter.
The original body was so unlucky. He was exchanged to the countryside when he was born. He was hungry and cold since childhood. He was finally found and brought back to the mansion, but was suppressed everywhere by the person who replaced his life.
The relatives despised her and the servants treated her harshly, which made it so easy for the fake daughter to succeed. In order to prevent the original person from waking up halfway, the fake daughter also gave her a heavy drug, which directly caused the original person to be unable to bear it and died halfway!
Cannon fodder luck, cannon fodder fate! It's just extremely unlucky!
Chu Ci, who was lost in thought, did not notice that he had been sent to the bridal chamber.
Until a warning sounded in her ears: "You'd better be honest and don't say anything!"
"Otherwise, the whole capital will know tomorrow that you, a country girl, actually knocked out your sister and married her off in order to marry the young master of the Taifu Mansion. Your shameless behavior will definitely become a laughing stock for everyone."
"When the time comes, don't blame our young lady for not pleading with the Marquis and the Madam for you."
Put the blame on someone else, the wicked are the first to complain! The same trick again? It's just that the original body was too stupid and was taken advantage of again and again. The people in the Marquis' Mansion were also like blind and deaf, turning a blind eye and deaf ear to all this.
Unfortunately, Chu Ci was not her original self. She simply replied calmly, "Are you done? If you are, go back and report to your master."
Naturally, the maid hoped to leave here as soon as possible.
However, the young lady had told her to watch the second young lady and her husband consummate their marriage, and she did not dare to disobey the order. The maid hesitated, so Chu Ci simply said the big one, "I heard that you like Fan Jingrui, and since Chu Ling'er got engaged, you have been determined to become his concubine. Can I help you?"
As expected, the maid showed a look of fear, "Second Miss, I will leave now."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away. His speed was so fast that if you didn't know, you would think there was a vicious dog chasing him.
Chu Ci couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Tsk tsk, this is what is called sincerity..."
However, Chu Ci had no time to sympathize with Fan Jingrui. She quickly checked whether the space from her previous life was still there, and immediately came up with a plan in her mind.
So, when Fan Jingrui, wearing a red wedding gown and surrounded by relatives and friends, walked into the bridal chamber, what he saw was a mess.
The matchmaker and the maids were lying on the ground in a mess, and the bride sitting on the wedding bed had lifted her veil on her own. This person was not the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang.
"What, what's going on?" Fan Jingrui's face was gloomy, and the first person to speak was his cousin.
He is worthy of being the dream of thousands of girls in Beijing. He has an upright figure and elegant temperament, like a pine tree standing in the cold wind. Even if his face is gloomy, it cannot conceal his elegant and handsome demeanor.
Chu Ci looked at the person in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "This person really has everything that suits my aesthetic taste."
Although Fan Jingrui appears only a few times in the book, each appearance is a crucial moment.
Plague broke out in Lianzhou, and corrupt officials fled the city. It was Fan Jingrui who used the connections of Master Fan to invite a miracle doctor to stabilize the people's hearts. The Fan family worked together without any complaints, but Mrs. Fan and Mr. Fan fell down on the way to help.
Pirates were rampant and the border town was in danger. Fan Jingrui put aside his past grudges and stepped forward, saving hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the border town.
When the Tatars invaded and the capital was about to fall, it was Fan Jingrui who, through the Fifth Prince's plan, saved the capital from danger...
But such a talented and strategic person, who was determined to protect his country even when he was in a low point, became a lonely man because of his exile and disfigurement. Even when he returned to the capital, he could only hide his identity and died alone.
This is not the fate of a hero who has made great contributions to the country.
Therefore, she decided to protect the Fan family.
Chu Ci's demeanor changed immediately. He neither dodged nor explained. He just said in a deep voice, "You guys go out first. I have something important to discuss with Fan Jingrui."
"This..." The people present subconsciously looked at Fan Jingrui. A few smart ones had quietly left the room to inform the elders of the Fan family.
Chu Ci didn't care and introduced himself calmly: "My name is Chu Ci, I am the real daughter of Pingyang Marquis who was switched at birth. As for why I am here, you have to ask your nominal fiancée. The fake daughter who took over the magpie's nest..."
Having said this, Chu Ci deliberately paused.
Sure enough, everyone present made excuses to leave, and the maids and old women wished they could leave as soon as possible. They left one by one without Fan Jingrui saying anything.
In just a moment, the bridal chamber, which had been bustling with activity before, was left with only Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui.
Fan Jingrui slowly walked to the chair, brushed off the dust, sat down gracefully, looked at Chu Ci, and said in a low voice: "Why?"
His face was calm, as if the dark face just now was just an illusion.
"In two hours, the Fan family will be ransacked." Chu Ci didn't exchange pleasantries or beat around the bush, but directly dropped a bombshell.
Although Fan Jingrui was a strong-willed person, he was also overwhelmed by this sudden news.
After a long time, Fan Jingrui regained his composure. He stared at Chu Ci with a sharp gaze and asked, "How did you know such a secret message? Why did you tell me? What is your purpose?"
Facing Fan Jingrui's scrutinizing gaze, Chu Ci showed no fear, but instead asked, "As the designated heir of the Taifu Mansion, you must be well aware of the news of various mansions! Have you ever heard that Pingyang Hou has a second daughter?"
"And at this moment, Chu Ling'er must have already cried in front of the Pingyang Marquis and his wife, telling them that I had a secret crush on you and that I had knocked her out to marry her off!"
"Are you sure you want to waste your time here with me?"
As he spoke, Chu Ci deliberately raised two fingers and waved them in front of Fan Jingrui.
"Are you serious?" Fan Jingrui no longer cared about being on guard against Chu Ci, and directly grabbed Chu Ci's arm and asked. This matter concerned the survival of the family, and Fan Jingrui did not dare to take the slightest risk.
