Splendid Twins

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the golden rooster crows to announce the dawn.

The village became lively again. Children wearing new clothes were led by their elder brothers to visit every household to wish them a happy new year. The villagers laughed happily and took out melon seeds and peanuts to put into their pockets. After a round, every child's pocket was filled to the brim...

Liu Niang had just sent her away and had not yet entered the house when she heard a sound at the door and turned back to be bumped into by the little girl:

"Happy New Year, Auntie. I wish you a long life."

The little girl was wearing a brand new water-red cotton-padded jacket, with two light pink ribbons tied around her head. Her face was white and clean, and her babyish voice was really lovable. Lady Liu picked her up and said:

"Hey, whose little darling is this? Come in quickly."

Wang Dahu led Xiao Shitou, Xiao Huzi, Si Yu, Hongying and others to come and pay New Year's greetings, carrying large and small bags in their hands.

"You're here, why are you bringing anything? Why are we being so polite?"

Si Lao Er heard the noise and came out. Seeing several people carrying things in their hands, he said something with some disapproval.

"Uncle, it's New Year's Day, how can you come to my house empty-handed?"

Wang Dahu was in high spirits because of the good news. With the money he earned before the New Year, he redeemed his things and felt much more at ease.

"Okay, kids, come here, I have something for you."

Si Laoer turned around and went back to the house, took out the red envelope that he had prepared in advance and gave one to each of the children. The children were smiling happily. Hongying made a piece of clothing for Liu Niang and Si Laoer respectively. Liu Niang smiled and couldn't wait to go back to the house to try them on.

Si Qing was still a little groggy after his hangover. He calmed down, packed up, and walked out of the house. As he turned the corner, he saw Si Yu coming towards him.

"Brother, Happy New Year."

Si Yu was holding his homework in his hands. This was the assignment assigned by his elder brother when he came back from school last time. He had been writing furiously these past few days just so that he could play a little longer today.

Si Qing nodded and took it to look through it. He had to admit that this child was very smart. He could recite every article he had read. He tried it several times at first, but finally he was convinced that the child had the ability to remember everything he saw.

Don't waste such a good talent...

"Keep going. Go to the study first. I have something for you."

When Si Yu heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up, but then he felt something was wrong. He pursed his lips and nodded, his eyes shining like stars, revealing a sense of innocence.

Si Qing gave him a meaningful look, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Si Yu went in happily but came out dejected. He saw that people’s hearts have changed…

While others received gifts during the New Year, he happily received twenty chapters of large characters and copied two policy papers!

Si Yao fell asleep just before dawn, and in her daze she had a dream!

"how is your day?"

Si Yao was stunned. A woman's voice?

He cleared his throat and said calmly:

"Good."

"Where are my parents?"

Si Yao's expression changed slightly, and he asked tentatively:

"You are... Zhou Yao?"

"What a robber! You have taken over my body, and you forgot about me?"

Si Yao's eyes were filled with whiteness. She could only hear the voice but not the person. When she heard these words, her voice became cold:

"I didn't do it on purpose, but you were already dead when I woke up!"

After waiting for a long time without hearing any sound, Si Yao tried to move forward, but she woke up as soon as she raised her leg.

"Ah!"

Si Yao sat up and sneered, what is this?

I suddenly felt annoyed for no reason. Whose good child was replaced at birth?

The time before and after the New Year is the most lively and busiest time in the Zhenguo Mansion. Zhou Wan follows the Duke's wife in welcoming and seeing off guests, going in and out, and has no time to take care of anything else.

At this moment, she found an excuse to return to her own yard, and as soon as she entered the house, she asked the maid to call someone in.

When he heard Mrs. Tao say that Si Yao was very much loved, he was stunned, and then he felt sick all over!

“She broke off relations with her grandparents?

“She also built a house?”

"What about Si Yang? Isn't he gambling?"

Mrs. Tao was the old woman who had instructed the matchmaker in the carriage to arrange a marriage for Si Yao years ago. After meeting the parents in person, she found that the situation was not as the eldest lady said.

Before leaving, the maid revealed another thing. When she stayed in the town to inquire about the situation, she went to see the young man on purpose. When she found out that those people had lured the wrong person, she felt like she was struck by lightning!

Si Yao? Si Yang?

As soon as Mrs. Tao entered the room, she knelt down and explained everything carefully. Finally, she closed her eyes and waited for the eldest lady's anger!

As expected, Zhou Wan was so angry that she picked up the teacup at hand and smashed it to the ground. The scalding hot tea splashed all over Mrs. Tao's hand, instantly burning it red!

But she didn't dare to hide, and endured it obediently. The maid next to her turned pale, then she reacted and knelt down to explain:

"Miss, I have explained everything clearly. This, this..."

The maid was so anxious that she was incoherent and almost cried out loud. The way her eldest lady punished people was too cruel. Several little maids had been sold to that kind of place...

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Zhou Wan slapped the maid twice, each slap was harder than the last. The maid's face instantly became swollen and the red marks looked very scary.

"Waste! What use are you to me?"

"Please give me another chance, Miss. I will definitely not let you down..."

Zhou Wan ignored the maid's pleas for mercy and turned around to sit on the chair, her eyes filled with strong jealousy. Why could she only eat coarse food at home? If she didn't please that old woman, she would have to work. Not only did she lack clothes and food, she didn't even have a room of her own!

That cowardly pair of parents only knew how to work hard and never spoiled her. Other parents would think of buying their children hair ornaments, new clothes and other things during festivals, but she didn't. She could only watch the two sisters, Si Ting and Si Jing, showing off in front of her and then ridiculing her.

Now that she is living a good life, she should let that bitch have a taste of her own hard life!

Zhou Wan gnashed her teeth when she thought of this. These idiots really pissed her off. She suppressed her anger and said sternly:

"Get out!"

The maid and Mrs. Tao were as if they had been pardoned. They bowed respectfully and then left. The room was quiet. Zhou Wan stood up and walked into the inner room.

Her hard work these days was not in vain. She learned a lot from her mother, and the thing that impressed her most was: people must have power!

Since that bitch is so capable, how does it compare to imperial power?

If she became the Princess of Li, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for her to deal with a little peasant girl?

He reached out and took out a dark blue silk handkerchief from the pillow. It was soft in texture, with the edge locked with fine gold thread, and the embroidery on it was extremely exquisite. It was something that His Royal Highness Prince Li had accidentally dropped.

If Third Aunt hadn't interrupted her last time, she would have used the excuse of returning the handkerchief to show off her good character. Plus, with her distinguished family background, wouldn't His Highness look at her differently?

She has decided on the position of Princess Li, and no one can snatch it from her!

The annoying thing is that her father has been unkind to her recently, and has been criticizing her in every word. Don't think she doesn't know that he is biased towards that bitch.

What's so good about Zhou Yao? What's the point of being good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting? Only prostitutes would learn those tricks to seduce men and stir up their hearts!

She would never let that bitch who had usurped the magpie's nest have an easy life. A dark light flashed in her eyes. She would teach that bitch a lesson sooner or later!
