Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 524: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (46)

It was finalized in front of the saint, and there was no room for turning back for Zhao Ying's marriage.

From the wife to the concubine, the treatment they received was very different.

Since it is a concubine, there is no such thing as the "Six Rites", the standards of the betrothal gift are greatly reduced, and there is no need to choose an auspicious time for the wedding.

A few days later, Zhao Ying got married from the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

There was no wedding ceremony, and the bride could not enter through the main gate. The sedan chair only stopped at the side door of the Wei family, and the housekeeper came to pick her up.

Even though the daughter had done many things that brought shame to the Marquis's family, the old lady still prepared a generous dowry for her and sent her off with a grand wedding.

Other wealthy families take concubines in a low-key manner, but the Dingbei Marquis's mansion marries off their daughter as a concubine with great fanfare and fanfare. Chu Yuexiang has been feeling very embarrassed these days when she goes out to do things.

Early in the morning of the second day after marrying into the Wei family, Zhao Ying drove to the Princess's Mansion to toast the Princess.

She was a concubine, so Wei Changheng naturally would not accompany her.

Zhao Hui looked at Zhao Ying, who was kneeling on the ground to serve him tea, with an indifferent expression.

Although Zhao Ying is stupid, she is indeed pretty and beautiful, so it's no wonder that Wei Changheng likes her.

A few days ago, she wanted to choose a wife for Wei Changheng. After all, there was no rule of taking a concubine before marrying a wife. But Wei Changheng refused to agree.

It seems that Zhao Ying had made a private appointment with him, and Zhao Ying's appearance happened to be the type that Wei Changheng liked.

The young lady cried in front of him, and the young man softened his heart.

Still not very worldly-wise.

Whatever.

Zhao Hui stopped interfering, so as to avoid affecting the relationship between mother and son by interfering too much.

Although she no longer forced Wei Changheng to marry first and then take a concubine, Zhao Ying was determined to give him a warning.

In the past, she was the daughter of the Dingbei Marquisate, and it was the old lady's responsibility to discipline her. Now that she had entered the Wei family, it was naturally Zhao Hui's responsibility to discipline her.

"No matter what you did or said in the past, since it is a thing of the past, I will not mention it again."

"Now that you have entered the Wei family, you must control your bad temper."

"I will select a ritual nurse from the palace, and you will study etiquette well in the courtyard during this period of time."

Zhao Ying looked well-behaved at this moment and agreed honestly.

Today was her first time coming to the Princess's Mansion, and her personal maid was waiting for her outside the mansion.

Although he saw the ultimate luxury of the royal family all the way, Zhao Ying still felt isolated and helpless when he saw the strangers in the hall.

Especially when it comes to her mother-in-law, who is powerful and has a bad temper, Zhao Ying dare not act rashly.

Fortunately, Zhao Hui did not make things too difficult for her.

Only after returning to Wei Mansion did Zhao Ying relax.

Xi'er, the personal maid who came with her as a dowry, poured her tea and said, "My lady, please have a sip of tea."

"I'm so tired." Zhao Ying sighed, took the tea from Xier's hand and took a big sip.

"The steward asked if you would like to go to the storehouse to count the dowry."

Zhao Ying remembered her mother's words that her dowry should be kept safe, so she nodded and said, "Go."

When they arrived at the warehouse, Zhao Ying took the gift list and checked it one by one, and found Fu Huaiying's name on it.

"A pair of red hairpins, like two birds flying side by side."

Zhao Ying said, "Take this out and let me see it."

Xier found the gift box and handed it to Zhao Ying.

The red hairpin is made very exquisitely. In addition to the lovebirds, the patterns on it also include intertwined branches.

Xier said, "My lady, this red hairpin is really beautiful, and it symbolizes happiness."

Wish to be a winged bird in the sky, and even a branch in the ground.

"This is to wish my wife and my husband a long and happy marriage."

Xier said with a smile, and when she looked up, she saw that there was no trace of joy on Zhao Ying's face.

Zhao Ying's expression was grim: "Is she mocking me..."

Fu Huaiying, a concubine's daughter, could become a marquis' wife.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Dingbei Marquisate, but in the end she could only marry as a concubine.

If it weren't for Shen Qingxia, how could she be Wei Changheng's concubine!

Damn Shen Qingxia!

Damn Fu Huaiying!

Zhao Ying closed the wooden box heavily and said, "Take it out and throw it away."

"Lady..."

"Hurry up and go!" Zhao Ying stuffed the box into Xier's arms.

Xier could only take the wooden box and throw it away.

"and many more--"

Xier turned around and saw Zhao Ying under the window pane in the warehouse. The sunlight was shining on half of her face, while the other side was hidden in the shadow.

"Go and deliver a letter to my second sister-in-law for me."

The capital city at the end of June seemed to be held in the palm of the scorching sun. The bright sunlight distorted the street scenes in the distance, and the stone pavement seemed to be steaming.

It was midday, the hottest time of the day, and the streets were deserted.

Even the once bustling streets of East Market now only had a few horse-drawn carriages carrying goods, and the literati and elegant people who came out for shopping all went to Zuixianlou to eat ice and cool off.

Recently, Zuixianlou’s summer dishes have become increasingly popular among diners, and some customers even go to Zuixianlou every day to have a bowl of lychee honey smoothie.

The sales of fans in Jinshan Pavilion are also increasing day by day, and the craftsmen are busy making them every day.

The hotter the weather got, the less willing Fu Huaiying was to go out, and he would stay at home and be lazy for several days.

Many people came to visit her during this period, and she even received a visiting card from Jian Fengchun, but Fu Huaiying did not accept any of them.

One day, Lu Tianjiao came and brought a piece of news.

"Madam Fu, have you heard that Second Miss Shen died this morning?"

Fu Huaiying was surprised: "Dead?"

Lu Tianjiao said, "Yes, I heard he was severely tortured in prison, and with the hot weather, his wounds festered and he died from the high fever."

Speaking of this, Lu Tianjiao sighed: "Although I had no experience with her before, I still feel a little emotional when I heard the news of her death."

Fu Huaiying frowned and said, "But the princess clearly spared her life during the banquet."

Lu Tianjiao said, "That's what the princess said, but she also said that she handed the conviction and sentencing over to the Dali Temple, and it was the Dali Temple's Shaoqing who personally sentenced her."

"Shen Qingxia didn't die after the severe punishment, but died a few days later."

It's been so hot outside these days, it's hard to imagine how hard it must be in prison.

Shen Qingxia must have had a high fever due to wound inflammation.

Lu Tianjiao said, "Zhao Ying is the legitimate daughter of the Dingbei Marquisate after all, and Shen Qingxia confessed her crime in front of His Majesty and died in prison. No one has redressed her injustice."

Fu Huaiying said, "...The Dali Temple's Shaoqing personally sentenced him? That's not surprising."

Chu Yuexiang is the daughter of Chu Maoqing, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

This must have been instructed by the old lady or Zhao Ying.

Shen Qingxia caused Zhao Ying to lose her position as his wife, and Zhao Ying must hate her to the core.

Fu Huaiying asked, "Does the Princess know about this?"

"You should know by now." Lu Tianjiao took a sip of tea. "I happened to run into her cousin when I came here. He must have just heard the news and rushed over to take care of her, but ended up collecting her body."
