I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Upper room, main hall.

The two girls became famous in one battle, which shocked the entire front and back yards, and also tarnished the faces of the two grandmothers, Madam Fu and Madam Gao.

"Mother, my daughter is dying, dying..."

Gao Shu threw herself into the arms of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo like an abused cat, and burst into tears.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was so distressed. Her daughter had a big swelling on her forehead and both cheeks were covered with bright red slap marks. A daughter's face is the most important thing, and if her face is disfigured, her life will be ruined.

Damn Fu Yuzheng, he’s so cruel!

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's face turned livid and she glared at Fu Yuzheng, wishing she could peel off her skin on the spot!

Gao Shu's grandmother, Madam Gao, was very calm and glanced at Madam Fu (Fu Yuzheng's grandmother). Madam Gao was the mother of the current empress and was highly respected by the whole court. People who sat in such a high position often did not need to say anything, just a glance was enough to ask for justice.

Look, Madam Fu immediately glared at her granddaughter Fu Yuzheng and said angrily, "Zheng'er, what's going on? How can a host beat up a guest? Why don't you come over and apologize!"

Apologize?

Think beautiful!

Fu Yuzheng was not a pushover. She did not take her grandmother's words seriously at all. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and buried her head in her mother Tao Ying's arms and started crying:

"mother--"

"I'm afraid my daughter won't live long—"

"Nonsense! You just came of age today. What nonsense are you talking about on such a happy day?" Tao Ying hurriedly covered Fu Yuzheng's mouth, fearing that it would be unlucky and that the Bodhisattva would blame her.

What Fu Yuzheng was waiting for was this "big day".

She knew that everyone in the Great Zhou Kingdom believed in Buddhism and was superstitious, and they were especially averse to talking about "birth and death" on happy occasions.

She quickly broke free from her mother's hand and sobbed, "Mom, today is a good day for my daughter to come of age, but Sister Gao Shu... and Sister Yao cursed my daughter to die early."

Fu Yuyao's face turned pale.

"I didn't!" Gao Shu quickly defended herself.

"You did, you did!" Fu Yuzheng had a good memory. "You mocked me for loving red and peonies so much. I wonder if the coffin will also be painted red and engraved with peonies on the day of your death!"

Sister Fu Yushu, with red eyes, immediately testified: "Coffin board, coffin, my daughter also heard it clearly."

Ouch.

It's a happy day, a good day for a little girl to come of age, but instead of sending blessings, people say things like "death", "coffin board", and "coffin". If this isn't a curse, what is it?

All the noble ladies sitting in the main room were superstitious about this. Their faces changed immediately and they whispered to each other, condemning Gao Shu for her lack of conscience.

"Gao Shu looks lively and generous on weekdays, but I don't think she has such a face behind her back."

"That's right. You're so young, but you're so vicious."

"I heard that she's engaged. I wonder who's so unlucky to have such a daughter-in-law..."

Coincidentally, the mistress of the Cheng family, who was engaged to Gao Shu, was also there. Upon hearing what was said, she felt so embarrassed that her face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

As if to demonstrate her own fairness, the mistress of the Cheng family took the lead in expressing her opinion: "Today is Miss Fu's coming-of-age day, and Miss Gao's teaching is not unfair. If it happened in our Prince's Mansion, a few slaps in the face would be considered light." A swollen face is nothing, the legs must be broken!

At this time, the maid outside came to urge: "The auspicious time has come, please ask the sponsor and the one who will be crowned to take their places."

Has the auspicious time arrived?

The ladies looked at Fu Yuzheng’s torn wedding dress and dirty little face. Wouldn’t she miss the auspicious time by the time she finished washing up?

What a sin.

Everyone pouted at Gao Shu again.

Gao Shu's grandmother, Old Madam Gao, was a reasonable person. After hearing the whole story, she immediately told Old Madam Fu (Fu Yuzheng's grandmother): "Today's incident was all my granddaughter's fault. It has nothing to do with Zheng'er."

After saying that, he sternly asked Gao Shu to apologize to Fu Yuzheng on the spot.

Gao Shu dared not disobey her grandmother, so she cried and apologized.

Fu Yuzheng knew that Madam Gao was a good person and had treated her, her granddaughter-in-law, well in her previous life, so she accepted the favor.

There are usually spare wedding attire for the coming of age ceremony. Fu Yuzheng went to her room to change into new ones and after washing up, she really...

Missed the auspicious time.

"Oh, it's unlucky, so unlucky!"

"What will happen if we miss the auspicious time?"

"Will there be disaster?"

"This is extremely unlucky. I'm afraid she will... die young. Gao Shu from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is such a troublemaker..."

The noble ladies who had gathered in a circle in the yard to watch the ceremony began to denounce the incident one by one.

Fu Yuzheng looked unhappy, but she was very happy in her heart.

Fu Yuzheng didn't care about whether it was an auspicious time or not. She just wanted everyone to unanimously condemn the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and support her in successfully breaking off the engagement.

Now that the atmosphere is there, we just have to wait to catch the adulterous couple!
