Quick Wear: The Beautiful Tool Man Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

It didn't take long for An San to find out about Yun Miao's news. Yun Miao's mother was originally an ordinary embroiderer named Wan Niang in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Wan Niang was harassed by the local prefect because of her beauty, and was forcibly taken into the mansion to be his seventeenth concubine. Just when she was about to succeed, the Marquis of Nanchang happened to visit this place. Since she was going to commit herself to someone, why not choose a more powerful one!

So Wan Niang chose the right time and appeared in front of Nanchang Marquis. Everything after that was just as she expected. When he saw the beautiful Wan Niang, Nanchang Marquis was shocked and took her in.

The prefect who was intercepted halfway dared not speak out but smiled and said that this girl was prepared for the Marquis to relieve the Marquis's boredom during the journey. In this way, Yun Miao's mother followed the Marquis back to the capital and became a concubine in the Marquis' mansion.

There are many women in the backyard of the Marquis's mansion, but for some reason, there are not many offspring, let alone male offspring. The mistress of the Marquis's mansion has only one daughter. After Wan Niang settled down, she discovered the trick. Because Wan Niang was born as an embroiderer, she knows more about embroidery thread and embroidery than these beauties.

As soon as she entered the courtyard assigned by the lady, she found that the colors of the gauze curtains, screens and bedding on the bed were all wrong. When she smelled carefully, she could smell a very faint smell, which was different from the smell of incense. Moreover, the smell of incense in the incense burner in the room was very strong, which should be to cover up the smell of the embroidery.

What is there for Wan Niang who has discovered these things to not understand! It seems that these are the reasons why the heirs in the backyard of the Marquis's Mansion are not enfeoffed. And the people who did these things, except for the Madam, don't think of her. Because except for the Madam, the other concubines don't have the ability to reach into the backyard.

Fortunately, compared with the noble and elegant women in Beijing, Wan Niang had a tenderness that was unique to the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, she was the most favored among the many concubines in the backyard. Except for the few days when she went to the Marquis's wife, she spent most of the rest of her time in Wan Niang's room. Taking advantage of the Marquis's favor, Wan Niang quietly replaced some of the problematic items. Because she was not sure who in the courtyard was the Madam's spy, she could only quietly replace them when the servants were not paying attention.

Later, when she was accompanying the Marquis out, she accidentally saved a mother and daughter, and when the mother followed Wan Niang into the mansion, she felt relieved. She could help deal with these more obscure matters.

Wan Niang originally just wanted to find a place to live and live a peaceful life. But since the Marquis's growing love for her, the Lady became more and more dissatisfied with her. Especially after she found out that she was pregnant, the Lady's expression became more and more gloomy every time she came to pay respects. During this period, there were also good news from other concubines, but without exception, they failed to keep the pregnancy.

Wan Niang was cautious and on guard every day, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't escape. She even died before she had the chance to see the daughter she had risked her life to give birth to.

As for Wan Niang's daughter Yun Miao, the moment she was born, the lady subtly spread the word that she was destined to bring bad luck to her parents, which made the Marquis displeased and hurriedly handed her over to the lady for disposal. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't bear to see the mother saved by Wan An, and in order to repay Yun Miao's mother, she would have taken the initiative to beg the Marquis to take care of Yun Miao, which would have saved her life and made her grow up with bumps and bruises. However, she was not liked by other people in the mansion at all, and was like an invisible person in the mansion.

Moreover, the legitimate daughter of the mansion, Yun Xi, would come to bully Yun Miao from time to time. This time, it was Yun Xi who pushed Yun Miao into the water. If it weren’t for the maid Mei Xiang who risked her life to rescue her, she would probably be dead. However, after being unconscious for two days and finally waking up, she was driven to the most desolate and remote courtyard by the Marquis’ wife before she could recover.

Looking at the information about Yun Miao's life that An San had found out, Gu Yanting's usually cold heart was filled with heartache. No wonder there was an indelible sadness between his brows when he saw her that night. Her life was originally so rough, her biological mother died early, her father was indifferent, her stepmother was cruel, and her step-sister bullied her day after day.

"An San, put down what you are doing and hand it over to An Si and the others. From today on, you will protect Miss Yun Miao in secret and make sure she doesn't notice your presence." Gu Yanting stroked the thin piece of paper in his hand that recorded Yun Miao's life, and instructed An San in front of him.

"Master, rest assured. I will definitely protect the future mistress." After saying this, An San stood up and left to complete his task when he saw that his master had no other instructions.

During the time he was secretly protecting Yun Miao, An San also witnessed how Yun Miao was neglected by the Marquis' Mansion. Not only was her monthly allowance pitifully small, not to mention clothes and jewelry, but the food in their courtyard was all vegetables that Mei Xiang had managed to grow in the yard herself, plus the food that the servants secretly delivered to them every day.

It can be said that Yun Miao's life in the mansion is completely different from that of the second lady of the Marquis's mansion. In addition to these, Yun Xi, the daughter of the Marquis's mansion, would come to trouble Yun Miao from time to time. In fact, An San was also very confused. Logically, Miss Yun Miao would not hinder her status, but for some reason, Yun Xi kept staring at Yun Miao, as if she could only be happy if Yun Miao was not doing well.

And she didn't just bully Yun Miao. As she got older, Yun Xi also began to spread some bad reputations about Yun Miao. For example, she said Yun Miao was disrespectful to her stepmother, and she never went to pay respects to her stepmother. She also thought highly of herself and didn't allow other sisters in the mansion to have contact with her. There were many other bad remarks and so on.

These were all deliberately spread by Yun Xi. Of course, Yun Xi's methods would definitely not allow this to happen, making it difficult for people to find out the source of the news. Of course, these news were not only spread by Yun Xi, but many of them were handled by Madam Hou.

Therefore, most people in the capital have heard that the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion is smart and lively, and has the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family. As for the second daughter, most of the rumors are bad, such as poor health, disrespect for the mistress, weird personality, etc.

In recent months, as Concubine Zheng's belly in the backyard grew bigger, Madam Hou and Yun Xi became more and more impatient. Madam Hou was worried that if Concubine Zheng really gave birth smoothly, it would definitely affect her. After all, ever since the doctor revealed that Concubine Zheng was carrying a boy, her status in the mansion had become visibly noble.

The Marquis also attached great importance to her pregnancy and specially arranged many people to look after her. Even the doctor who took her pulse was arranged by him. The Marquis's wife tried to do something several times but failed to succeed. Instead, she aroused the Marquis' suspicion and was severely reprimanded.
