Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

"What did you say? Did I hear you correctly? He Shulan clearly promised me that she would help me get the person out." He Shuzhen looked at the servant who came to convey the message with an angry face.

The servants are servants of the Prince's Mansion. When they go out, others have to give them some face.

He Shuzhen was born into a noble family, but she insisted on marrying Liu Chen, a minor official of the seventh rank. Now she doesn't even have her official position.

Not only did she become a joke in the capital, but even the servants looked down on her: "Yes, you heard it right. The Princess of the County asked me to come and tell Madam Liu that you should find another way."

After the message was passed on, the servant did not stay and left Liu Mansion.

He Shuzhen's face was twisted with anger, and she kept cursing, "He Shulan, you promised me in person, but now you go back on your word. Are you making a fool of me?"

Xiao Yu looked puzzled: "Madam, those who are put in the cell are all guilty of crimes. Why do you want to take the criminals out of the cell?"

"I..." He Shuzhen didn't know how to tell Xiaoyu that she was coerced. She swallowed the words because it was not a glorious thing. "Don't worry about it. I have my reasons for doing this."

Xiaoyu responded and stood aside without saying anything.

He Shuzhen seemed calm on the surface, but was actually extremely anxious inside, and was almost going crazy sitting there.

If He Shulan is unwilling to help her, her life will be in danger.

In order to save his life, he had to beg He Shulan to come and ask her to accompany him to the Prince's Mansion.

Xiaoyu didn't understand why He Shuzhen went to the Princess of the County even though she was rejected by the Princess of the County. "There are not only the Princes serving as officials in the court, but also other officials. You don't need to ask He Shulan for help."

He Shuzhen also wanted to do this, but only He Shulan could do it: "It's not as simple as you think. Just come with me."

The master and servant got on a carriage and came to the Prince's Mansion, where they were told by the servant guarding the gate that He Shulan was not at the mansion.

He Shuzhen was so angry that she started cursing.

The servant guarding the gate ignored He Shuzhen and closed the door silently.

Xiaoyu didn't know why He Shuzhen had to come to find the Princess of the County. Seeing He Shuzhen so anxious, she also became anxious: "The Princess of the County is deliberately avoiding you. She is not in the Prince's Mansion. She must have gone somewhere else."

"Of course I know, but I don't know where He Shulan went. Maybe she left the capital."

Xiao Yu retorted, "It's impossible. The Princess of the County has already married. If she doesn't come home at night, people will gossip about her. She definitely hasn't left the capital."

He Shuzhen felt that Xiaoyu's words made sense: "He Shulan didn't leave the capital, so where is she hiding?"

"My slave doesn't know either."

All He Shuzhen could think of was He Shulan's grandfather's house. No matter how long she lived in Tao's house, she would not be gossiped about. "Let's go to Tao's house."

Xiaoyu said nothing and followed He Shuzhen into the carriage and arrived at Tao's house.

Bai Fei had already told the gatekeepers not to let anyone know that He Shulan was staying here: "The Princess is not here, Madam, please leave."

"You're lying. He Shulan must be here. Ask her to come out. I have something to talk to her about."

The servant stopped the anxious He Shuzhen. Of course He Shulan was here, but she couldn't know: "This is the Tao Mansion. You can't just enter if you want to."

"I am the second lady of the He family after all. Why can't I enter the He family?" He Shuzhen became more and more excited as she spoke.

The servant had to tell the truth to make He Shuzhen face reality: "From the day you marry Liu Chen, you are no longer the honorable second lady of the He family."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting He Shuzhen on the head. What the servant said was absolutely true.

Xiao Yu stepped forward and shouted, "My wife, no matter how bad she is, is better than a servant like you. What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks here?"

The servant ignored him and closed the door, locking He Shuzhen and her servant outside.

He Shuzhen was so angry after being rejected repeatedly that she could no longer control her temper.

They punched and kicked the gate of Tao's house.

People passing by on the street discussed He Shuzhen's crazy appearance in a low voice.

Unable to bear the strange looks from others, He Shuzhen got on the carriage and left the Tao Mansion.

He Shulan, who was hiding behind the door, heard the sound of horse hooves getting farther and farther away, and knew that He Shuzhen had left.

Chun Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Second Miss, you are still as unruly and willful as ever. Or is it that the Princess of the County has foresight and knows that the Second Miss will come to find you, so she hid in Tao's house in advance."

"Now I get a headache when I see He Shuzhen. Every time she comes to me for help, she has a difficult problem."

Chun Xia almost laughed out loud when she saw He Shulan's worried look: "This is the first time I see you worried about something."

He Shulan was also helpless. She handled other things with ease, but when faced with the clinging He Shuzhen, she didn't know how to deal with it and could only avoid her: "Anyone who encounters a crazy He Shuzhen will be worried."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Lan's voice came from behind him: "What are you two doing behind the door?"

The master and servant stood up straight: "Nothing to do, just looking at the scenery outside the door."

"What's so good about the scenery outside the door? If you want to see it, you can go out and see it. You don't have to hide behind the door."

This question made He Shulan not know how to answer: "It's better not to go out and see. No matter how beautiful the scenery outside is, it is not as beautiful as the garden of Tao Mansion."

The sudden change in attitude made Tao Lan feel that He Shulan's behavior was very suspicious, but she did not continue to ask.

Talking about another topic: "I really want to know, since you have already married into the Prince's Mansion, why do you stay in my house every day."

He Shulan hesitated whether to tell Tao Lan about Tan Shaocong's arrest.

The two separated, and she was afraid that Tao Lan would not be able to bear it and would go to save Tan Shaocong.

After thinking it over, he decided not to tell Tao Lan yet and keep it a secret for as long as possible: "I miss my grandfather, so I plan to stay in the Tao Mansion for a while."

Tao Lan rolled her eyes and said, "You married in the capital, not in another place. If you want to see your grandfather, you can come back anytime. I don't know why you are so mysterious every day. What do you want to do?"

He Shulan hugged Tao Lan's arm and said, "You described me as a thief. The Tao Mansion is my second home. Do I need to be sneaky?"

Tao Lan shook her head helplessly.

. . . .

Unwilling to give up, He Shuzhen went to Tao's house several times to look for He Shulan, but didn't see her.

Soon the day came when the poison took effect. She turned pale, cold sweat kept coming out of her forehead, and she rolled on the ground in pain.

Xiaoyu was very anxious: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, He Shuzhen was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.

"I'll go get the doctor right away."

He Shuzhen used all her strength to hold Xiaoyu. She didn't want anyone to know that she was poisoned. She said weakly, "I'm fine. Just help me to the bed and let me rest for a while."
