Chapter 434 Swapping Lives with My Sister (2)
Neither of the two families changed their names.
Upon arriving at the Marquis's residence, someone led Bai Ruofu to her courtyard.
The courtyard where Bai Ruofu lived was named "Liuli Residence".
The courtyard is not large, but it is elegantly decorated, with a small bridge over a stream, artificial hills and pavilions, and carved beams and painted rafters—everything you could want.
Bai Ruofu liked this place very much and got along well with the servants.
Lady Yunyang Marquis assigned a nanny to teach her manners and etiquette, as well as to teach her music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
But you only need to study for three hours each day.
The rest of the time was up to Bai Ruofu to decide.
Bai Ruofu sometimes reviewed her lessons, and sometimes did some needlework.
Once he had made it to a decent standard, he made a sachet for Lady Yunyang.
She remembered the day Lady Yunyang received the sachet; her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She said, "Afu... when I was little, the first embroidered item I gave to your maternal grandmother was also a sachet..."
But Lady Yunyang's mother had already passed away.
At this moment, Lady Yunyang truly experienced the benefits of raising a daughter.
You are not only raising her, but also raising yourself all over again.
Bai Ruofu was indeed intelligent and sensible, and pitiful. Lady Yunyang Marquis unconsciously took extra care of her.
She was also made to call herself "mother" instead of "mother".
Bai Ruofu could now confirm what Bai Qingying meant when she said in her previous life that "the Lady of Yunyang Marquis always forced her to learn things she didn't like."
In fact, everyone in the Yunyang Marquis's mansion is very kind. Even the simple-minded woman who guards the garden and is in charge of the flowers and plants always smiles when she sees her.
The reason Bai Qingying complained so much about the Yunyang Marquis's mansion in her previous life was because she was lazy.
Even though fate provided her with a good learning environment, she didn't cherish it.
She fantasizes all day about a high-quality man who will unconditionally pamper her.
But men aren't stupid. How could they fall in love with a lazy, dreamy girl who likes to speculate about others with malicious intent?
Bai Qingying did not improve after her rebirth.
The only way he could think of to change his fate was to steal his parents, who were fifth-rank officials.
She believed that it was because the fifth-rank official and his wife had no biological children and would pour all their love into their adopted daughter that Bai Ruofu in her previous life became the top female scholar, was favored by the emperor, and eventually became the most honored woman in the Yuan Dynasty.
And actually...
The fifth-rank official and his wife were very strict!
It's so harsh it's almost pathological!
-
After Bai Qingying returned home with the fifth-rank official and his wife, she thought she would live a life of being loved by her parents.
What she meant by being loved by her parents was that she didn't have to learn music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, could sleep until she naturally woke up every day, and had a large number of handsome men chasing after her.
The fifth-rank official and his wife first added her name to the family genealogy, and from then on, Bai Qingying was their daughter.
An adopted daughter is still a daughter, and her words and actions represent the women of the entire family.
Seeing the fifth-rank official and his wife breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had completed some task, Bai Qingying felt something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
Until they entered the courtyard.
When Bai Qingying saw the courtyard that the fifth-rank official and his wife had prepared for her, her face turned pale.
This……
The house was simple, and there were no flowers or plants in the yard as decoration.
Inside, there was only a bed, a table, chairs, and a bookshelf.
The books on the bookshelf, however, brought immense pressure to Bai Qingying.
The adoptive father said, "The fortune teller said that I will raise a top scholar in my lifetime, but this top scholar will be a girl."
