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

He Shuzhen's face was full of jealousy. Why did He Shulan easily get the power to be the head of the family that she had tried every means to get in her previous life? She deliberately tried to sow discord between He Shulan and Li Wanrong: "There is no other way. Whoever holds the power to be the head of the family has to listen to him. Even if we sit together to drink a sip of water, we have to get the consent of the mistress of the house. Only when you hold the power to be the head of the family can you have freedom."

He Shulan felt particularly hurt by these words. He Shuzhen was trying to sow discord between them, wanting her to fight with Li Wanrong and compete for the power of the household: "What you said is not true. I have not restricted Aunt Li's freedom. What's more, Aunt Li's monthly food and clothing expenses have exceeded Aunt Li's share. No matter how much more, I can't make the decision."

"I just said that." He Shuzhen intentionally reminded Li Wanrong that since the goal had been achieved, she would not continue.

At this time, Li Wanrong began to have evil thoughts. It was indeed much more convenient when she held the power of the household. Not only did the servants obey her orders, but she could also use food, clothing and other daily necessities at will. After thinking about it, she felt that what the woman sitting next to her said made sense.

She had to find a way to take back the power of the household, so that she wouldn't have to live under the thumb of He Shulan, and she wouldn't have to care about that old man. Thinking of this, she ignored He Shulan, left the yard, and went to find the Prince.

Chunxia couldn't bear it any longer, but there were some things she couldn't say openly: "Second Miss, it's almost noon, you can go back home for lunch."

He Shuzhen was furious. A maid actually dared to order her to leave. "The Prince's Mansion is a big family with a lot of wealth. Can't they let me stay here for lunch? After all, I'm a guest."

"You also said that the Prince's Mansion is a large family with a lot of wealth, and the Princess of the County has endless things to do every day. It's not like the Liu Mansion, which is a small courtyard with only a few people coming and going. There is no need to bother managing it."

"You...you suicidal maid, don't think that I can't do anything to you just because your master is married into the Prince's Mansion."

Chun Xia was not afraid at all: "You are right. My master married into the Prince's Mansion. Even the concubines in the palace have to show some respect. You really can't touch me now. As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog."

He Shuzhen had no ability to resist at all. Her coming to the Prince's Mansion today not only made herself angry, but also embarrassed herself. She led Xing'er out angrily.

Chun Xia said loudly to He Shuzhen's departing back, "You still think that my young lady is the same as she was in the He Mansion, and you can bully her at will. My young lady is now the princess of the county, and even if she is no longer favored by the county prince, her status is higher than that of Madam Liu."

Hearing this, He Shuzhen had no place to vent her anger and quickened her pace to leave.

Seeing He Shuzhen leave, Chunxia looked at He Shulan with dissatisfaction: "Princess, the Second Miss mocked you so much, why didn't you say anything back."

He Shulan smiled faintly: "Girl, she is mocking me, not you, why are you so angry?"

"I just can't stand the Second Miss bullying you. Before you got married, the He Mansion was headed by He Shuzhen's mother, and we put up with it everywhere. Now that you've married into the Prince's Mansion, it doesn't make sense for us to put up with it."

He Shulan could guess why He Shuzhen was angry: "The angrier she is, the happier I am." She didn't say anything else.

Chunxia was confused by what she heard. She didn't understand why the Princess of the County was not angry after being ridiculed. Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, she did not continue to ask.

……

When He Shuzhen returned home, she was furious when she saw Liu Chen sitting in the small garden leisurely with his concubine.

She walked over angrily, and her usual fawning manner disappeared, revealing her nature as a willful young lady. She grabbed Liu Chen's ear and walked into the yard.

He Shuzhen's behavior made Liu Chen, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, unbearable: "Why are you pulling my ears? Let go quickly."

He Shuzhen didn't let go until they reached the courtyard: "I want to ask you, when can you enter the Ministry of Personnel?"

Liu Chen thought He Shuzhen was daydreaming: "Are you kidding me? With my qualifications, how could I possibly enter the Ministry of Personnel? Besides, I have no connections in the court."

At this time, He Shuzhen was a little panicked. He remembered that at this time in his previous life, Liu Chen had successfully entered the Ministry of Personnel and was very successful for a while. Could it be that his rebirth changed the trajectory of his fate? "Think about it carefully. Do you have any distant relatives in the court?"

"No," Liu Chen replied without hesitation, "If there were distant relatives in my family serving as officials in the court, would I have waited until now? I would have come to their door with gifts long ago."

He Shuzhen was so angry that her eyes went dark and her body kept retreating. She didn't know what went wrong. Thinking of He Shulan's unlimited glory, she became hysterical: "You must enter the Ministry of Personnel, otherwise my second half of life will be ruined in your hands."

Liu Chen pushed He Shuzhen away: "Are you crazy? I don't even have the qualifications to enter the court, how can I enter the Ministry of Personnel?" He Shuzhen's words made him angrier and angrier: "Since you think marrying me will ruin your life, then why did you marry me in the first place?"

He Shuzhen married Liu Chen because he could enter the Ministry of Personnel. The words came to her lips, but she swallowed them. She was reborn. Liu Chen was not like that. She restrained her emotions and said, "That's not what I meant. I hope you can make progress and strive for promotion and wealth as soon as possible."

"If it was so easy to get promoted and make money, I wouldn't have to stay in the seventh-rank official position for so long." Liu Chen felt that He Shuzhen had gone crazy recently, and kept talking about promotion and wealth in his ears every day: "You've been married for so long, you should know what my family is like. My family has no background and no connections, so there is definitely no hope of promotion and wealth. Don't count on it, just live your life in peace."

After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to He Shuzhen and left the yard angrily.

He Shuzhen was so angry that she lay on the bed and cried.

……

Depressed Liu Chen came to the small garden.

Aunt Lan and Aunt Ju hurried forward and hugged Liu Chen's arms.

"Madam is going too far. How could she pull your ears in front of the servants in the mansion?" Aunt Ju touched Liu Chen's red ears.

He Shuzhen had been married for a long time and had always been polite to him, never like she was today: "Don't bother with her." He held the hands of his two concubines and sat in the pavilion.

……

He Shuzhen, who had been crying for a long time, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She wanted to go to the Ministry of Personnel to ask what was going on.

Those who could find out what was going on inside the court could only return to the He Mansion and seek help from his father.

Thinking of this, he didn't care that it was getting dark, and asked Xing'er to prepare the carriage and return to He's house.

Xing'er was worried that people in Liu's residence would gossip about her: "It's getting dark. If you go out at this time, you will attract gossip from others."
