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

Xing'er didn't know what words to use to persuade Aunt Li, so she tiptoed to the door.

Li Wanrong, who was sleeping, turned her head and told Xing'er: "The vegetarian dishes in the temple taste very good, but they are not good for hunger. The baby in your belly also needs nutrition. You can stew the shark fin I brought."

Xing Er reminded her, "Auntie, this is a temple. You can only eat vegetarian food. Eating meat is disrespectful to the Buddha."

Li Wanrong didn't believe in these things and had no taboos: "Just don't let the temple and the old immortal know. You can sneak into the small kitchen and cook it and bring it to my room."

There was no other way, so Xing Er could only do as she was told. She closed the door and ran into Xi Niang: "Go and cook the shark fin that Aunt Li brought over."

The bridesmaid hesitated: "Sister Xing'er, this is a temple, we can only eat vegetarian food."

Of course Xing'er knew that it was Aunt Li who asked her to cook, but she didn't want to be involved in meat and offend the Buddha, so she could only drag Xi Niang in as a scapegoat: "No need for you to remind me, just do as I say. Aunt Li will want to eat after she wakes up." After saying that, she ignored Xi Niang.

This made Xi Niang very worried. The temple could not be contaminated by meat, but she could not disobey Aunt Li's order, so she had to cook the shark fins. After much thought, she decided to take the shark fins to the mountain behind to cook them. This way, it would not be considered as contaminating meat in the temple. She walked to the small kitchen with a lucky mentality, and took the casserole and shark fins to the mountain behind.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I ran into Liu De.

Liu De blocked the bridesmaid, put on an ambiguous smile, and reached out to touch the bridesmaid's cheek.

The quick-eyed bridesmaid dodged him: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't make any moves."

"Anyway, we will be together in the future, so what's the harm in touching each other?"

Hearing this, the bride's face changed drastically: "I don't understand what you said, Manager Liu. What do you mean by we will be together in the future? We were already married before I entered the mansion."

Liu De was disabled, and it was good enough that a woman was willing to be with him. Why would he care about the fact that Xi Niang was already married? "What does it matter? There are many such things in the capital, but no one puts them on the table. I heard from Aunt Li that your husband is out gambling all day and is not at home. If you are with me, I will let you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

The bridesmaid's face turned pale: "I don't care what others are like. I won't be with you. You should find someone else." After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Liu De and turned away.

Liu De grabbed her and said, "I like you."

The bridesmaid struggled hard to break free from Liu De's control. The shark fin in her hand fell to the ground and was crushed by Liu De. Her heart skipped a beat, thinking that she was going to be beaten again today, so she ran back to the courtyard.

……

After finishing her morning lessons, He Shulan helped the old lady back to the yard.

The old lady got up too early in the morning and couldn't hold on. She didn't have time to eat breakfast and went to bed to sleep. He Shulan had to wake her up at noon.

At this time, the little monk came in with the prepared vegetarian meal. He Shulan and the prince sat together to eat breakfast.

Seeing that He Shulan really liked eating lettuce, the prince pushed the bowl in front of her and said, "Eat slowly. These are all yours."

He Shulan did not refuse. She didn't like any of the other vegetarian dishes that the little monk brought over today, and only liked lettuce.

Seeing that He Shulan had such a good appetite, the prince also ate an extra bowl of rice.

Chun Xia, who was standing aside, saw this scene and smiled knowingly. The relationship between the Prince and his Consort was getting better and better.

After breakfast, they went back to their rooms to rest.

He Shulan was just about to lie down on the bed to rest when she heard a knock on the door. She walked over to open the door and saw the trembling Xi Niang: "What's wrong with you?"

Xiniang cried in fear: "Princess, you must save me. I didn't expect that Aunt Li would secretly betroth me to Liu De without my consent. I am so scared."

He Shulan frowned. This Li Wanrong was so bold. She was just a concubine, yet she dared to arrange the marriages of the servants in the mansion, and even forced the married bridesmaid to betroth to Liu De: "Don't worry too much. I don't agree. Concubine Li can't betroth you to Liu De."

Hearing this, Xi Niang finally felt relieved: "Princess, please think of a way to transfer me away from Aunt Li."

"I'll go find Li Wanrong, but she will definitely not give you to me. Only if the old lady comes forward will there be a chance to transfer you away. You can find a way to invite Liu De to the back mountain. I will take the old lady there. When the old lady sees the truth with her own eyes, she will help you."

Xi Niang didn't understand why the Princess of the County went to so much trouble: "You can just ask the old lady to transfer this servant away from Aunt Li."

He Shulan patiently explained: "You are just a servant girl. The old lady won't take it to heart, and she won't make trouble for the prince because of you. Let the old lady see how Liu De forced you, and she will save you. After all, you didn't sell yourself to the prince's mansion. If something happens to you, the prince's mansion will also be responsible."

Now the matchmaker understood: "I will ask Liu De to meet me at the back mountain in the evening." After saying that, she left He Shulan's room.

Xing'er, who was basking in the sun in the yard, happened to see this. She whispered, "What was Xi Niang doing in He Shulan's room? Was she going there to tell tales?" The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. She stepped forward to stop Xi Niang and said, "What were you doing in the Princess' room just now?"

Xing'er suddenly appeared, and Xiniang was so frightened that her legs went limp and she almost fell to the ground. She held on and denied it flatly: "I just passed by the door of the Princess's room, and I didn't come out of her room."

"You still don't admit it." Suddenly, Xing'er was angry: "I saw you walk out of the Princess's room with my own eyes, and you still don't admit it."

The bridesmaid still didn't admit it: "You really saw it wrong."

Seeing that Xi Niang was not afraid at all, Xing Er began to doubt herself. She had been in contact with Xi Er for such a long time and knew Xi Niang's timid and cautious character very well. Could it be that she really had seen it wrong? She did not continue the topic: "Is Aunt Li's shark fin cooked?"

"There is nothing in the kitchen. I have no way to cook shark fins." The shark fins that Xing'er gave her were stepped on by Liu De, and Xiniang had no way to cook it. In order to avoid punishment, the first thing she did when she returned to the kitchen was to throw away all the firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Xing Er didn't believe what Xi Niang said, so she went to the small kitchen to check. There was indeed nothing in the small kitchen, so she didn't blame Xi Niang: "Auntie Li will wake up soon, go to the temple's big kitchen and bring back some vegetarian food."

Taking this opportunity, Xiniang went out to find Liu De, immediately agreed, and hurried out of the yard.

Xing'er looked at him with disdain, wondering how happy he was doing such menial work.
