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

He Shuzhen couldn't care less: "Liu Chen married me because of the good deeds he had done in his previous life. How dare he complain?"

Xiaoyu stopped persuading her and helped He Shuzhen get on the carriage and arrived at He's house before it got completely dark.

When Chen Lerong saw He Shuzhen, she asked in surprise, "Why are you back at this time? Did something happen in Liu Mansion?"

"Nothing happened in the Liu Mansion, but something happened to me." He Shuzhen took Chen Lerong's hand and walked inside.

Chen Lerong was very worried about He Shuzhen: "What happened to you? Did someone from Liu Mansion bully you?"

"How could the people in Liu Mansion bully me? I'm lucky enough not to bully them." He Shuzhen raised her head proudly.

"A woman must hurry home before dark. You are married now. If you run out like this, not only will others talk about you, but Liu Chen will also dislike you."

"How dare he? What right does he have to look down on me?" In order to prevent Chen Lerong from continuing to speculate, He Shuzhen told her the real purpose of returning home: "I came back this time to find my father to help me check the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel."

Before Chen Lerong could answer, He's father's cold voice came from behind: "You think too highly of me. How could I possibly investigate the Ministry of Personnel? Do you want me to be put in jail?"

He Shuzhen knew that now was not the time to get angry with He's father: "You don't need to find out anything, you just need to see who entered the Ministry of Personnel."

"The officials who can go to the Ministry of Personnel are all arranged by the emperor. I can't find out about those people." He's father wanted to live a few more years, and she wanted to retire peacefully and didn't want to get involved in these things.

He Shuzhen didn't understand the officialdom, let alone the promotion of officials. She just wanted to know why Liu Chen hadn't been able to enter the Ministry of Personnel at this time: "Father, if you don't help me, no one will help me."

This puzzled He's father: "You are not an official in the government, why are you asking about the Ministry of Personnel?

He Shuzhen's voice became lower and lower: "I want to ask for Liu Chen."

When Liu Chen was mentioned, He's father was full of disdain: "He is just a seventh-rank official. Why are you helping her find out about the Ministry of Personnel? I think you two are tired of living."

These words were undoubtedly a slap in the face of He Shuzhen. After being reborn, she returned the marriage arrangement in the Prince's Mansion to He Shulan. Despite her parents' opposition, she insisted on marrying Liu Chen and solemnly promised her parents that Liu Chen would definitely get promoted and make a fortune.

According to the trajectory of the previous life, Liu Chen would have entered the Ministry of Personnel at this time, but at this time in this life, Liu Chen is still a minor official of the seventh rank. She was unwilling to accept this: "Father, don't look down on Liu Chen. Maybe Liu Chen will enter the Ministry of Personnel soon."

"I think you are daydreaming." In order to cut off He Shuzhen's unrealistic thoughts, He's father repeated: "Most of the officials who can enter the Ministry of Force are arranged by the emperor, and only a small number of them get in through connections. Liu Chen is a small seventh-rank official with no family background or connections. Do you think he can enter the Ministry of Personnel?"

He Shuzhen was completely awakened by what his father said. She didn't know what had happened and why Liu Chen didn't follow the path of his previous life.

"It's getting late. I won't keep you for dinner at the He Mansion. Get in the carriage and go to the Liu Mansion quickly to avoid being gossiped about." After saying that, he no longer paid attention to He Shuzhen and left the garden.

Seeing He Shuzhen standing there like a fool, motionless, Chen Lerong couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Your father is right. We can't just ask about the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel."

He Shuzhen came back to her senses and didn't speak for a long time. She should have checked everything clearly before marrying into the Liu Mansion. Now it was too late to say or do anything, and she had to accept all the realities.

Thinking that if Liu Chen could not enter the Ministry of Personnel, he would only be an unknown seventh-rank official in his life, and she would really become a laughing stock in the capital.

He Shuzhen felt that she had to be fully prepared. If Liu Chen didn't become an official in the Ministry of Personnel, she had to find a way to save Liu Chen: "Mother, please help me go to father and say something good, and ask him to help Liu Chen get promoted."

Chen Lerong took a deep breath, and the anger in her heart had long been unable to be vented: "I didn't agree with you and Liu Chen being together at the beginning, but you insisted on marrying him and promised me that Liu Chen would become a high-ranking official. Now Liu Chen not only failed to become a high-ranking official, but also has to rely on the He Mansion. I really don't know what you were thinking at the beginning."

He Shuzhen felt very aggrieved. She couldn't say anything. "I'm already married into the Liu Mansion. It's too late to say anything now. Please help me find a solution, otherwise your daughter's life will be ruined."

Things have come to this point, Chen Lerong has to help even if she doesn't want to: "I will help you." Thinking of Liu Chen's position as a seventh-rank official, which was bought by money through connections, she frowned: "Officials need not only qualifications but also knowledge to be promoted. Let Liu Chen take the exam this year. It would be best if he can pass the exam as a Jinshi or Xiucai. This way, his future path in the court will be smoother."

Hearing this, He Shuzhen's eyes lit up. How could she have forgotten about this? Although Liu Chen could not enter the Ministry of Personnel, he could enter the court by passing the exam: "Thank you for your advice, mother." Now that the problem had been solved, she was in a much better mood and no longer continued this topic with Chen Lerong.

The two stood in the garden and chatted for a while, and then Chen Lerong saw He Shuzhen off.

……

When Liu Chen learned that He Shuzhen had returned to the He Mansion, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He thought that it was because of what he said today that He Shuzhen was so angry that she ran back home.

He still needed He Shuzhen's help and could not lose this big tree, so he was preparing to take a carriage to He's house to find He Shuzhen.

He Shuzhen led Xiaoyu into the room and said pretentiously, "I was just planning to pick you up at the He residence, but I didn't expect you to come back by yourself. Is there anything going on at the He residence? Why are you running to the residence so late?"

"I had something I wanted to ask my father, so I hurried back." He Shuzhen casually replied to Liu Chen.

Seeing that He Shuzhen looked calm and showed no signs of anger, Liu Chen felt relieved: "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."

"No hurry." He Shuzhen took Liu Chen's hand and sat on the chair: "Have you ever thought about the future?"

Liu Zhen had thought about the future, but he knew that he was destined to be a minor official of the seventh rank: "I am very satisfied with my current life, and we will continue to live a stable life in the future."

He Shuzhen was instantly furious. She was very dissatisfied with her current life. In order for Liu Chen to follow her arrangements, she had to suppress her anger: "Don't you want to be promoted?"
