Chapter 1-Awakening
"Tsk tsk, does she think that she can defeat the noble mistress who has been trained by the Shangshu Mansion for more than ten years with those absurd and bizarre ideas?"
"How dare you dream of being together forever? It's natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines. What is a slutty girl like her dreaming of?!"
"......"
The chattering sounds outside the door fell into Shen Wei's ears.
She sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the beautiful oval face reflected in the mirror. Her skin was as white as snow, and her black hair was tied up with a golden hairpin, revealing a pair of black eyes that were full of disbelief.
This, is this a dream?
No, it's not!
It's a book!
Her name is Shen Wei. She is the stupid female supporting character in the book. Today she has awakened.
This is how the original book describes the plot.
Shen Wei saved the life of the male protagonist, the Marquis, at the border, and was taken back to the Marquis' Mansion without any status. In the early days, he made a fool of himself by relying on the Marquis' love.
Finally, when the novelty wore off, the male protagonist felt that she was not as good as he had imagined. He then compared himself with the well-educated and well-mannered mistress, and suddenly he realized that his wife was burned to death in his pursuit of her.
"I really don't know why the Marquis dotes on her so much. What's so good about her?"
"What kind of underwear show was that at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party yesterday? It was so embarrassing!"
"Do you really think that all those noble ladies are as frivolous as her? The Marquis only slapped her, but she threw a tantrum, saying that a man hitting a woman is domestic violence."
"Speak softly. If she hears these words when she wakes up, she will definitely shout about gender equality again..."
Before coming to the mansion, Shen Wei didn't know that the Marquis had married his childhood sweetheart.
Shen Wei was crying and making a fuss.
She shouted at him to divorce his wife, saying that they had promised to be together for the rest of their lives.
Despite a vow to be struck by lightning, the demoted Shen Wei still couldn't bear to leave the Marquis, so she swallowed her anger and stayed in the Marquis's mansion, unwilling to be a concubine and not even asking for the title of concubine.
Shen Wei: "......"
During this period, because she did not understand the ancient customs, she made a lot of jokes in the Marquis' Mansion. Outsiders laughed at Shen Wei for being ignorant of etiquette and willing to be lowly, but the Marquis thought she was straightforward.
There are too many jokes to make, and as time goes by, the novelty has worn off.
Being frank becomes stupid, reckless and uneducated.
The situation has now developed to the point where Shen Wei, in order to prove that he is better than the legal wife, wants to take over the housekeeper's power and do business, and ends up holding a lingerie show at the chrysanthemum viewing party.
Yes, they spent a lot of money to invite prostitutes to walk the runway in underwear.
Shen Wei: "......"
She couldn't believe she could be so stupid.
This is forced lowering of intelligence!
Although college students have not experienced the beatings of society, are they so stupid that they cannot distinguish the rules of the times?
At the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, the Marquis looked at her with suspicion. He felt that she had changed. She was no longer like the bright, generous and carefree woman she used to be.
Then she had a big quarrel with the Marquis and started a cold war.
"how so......."
Shen Wei covered her face, her five senses mixed: "Why do you write me like this? This is not me... How could I give up myself for a man."
"How could I become a fool who relied on the superiority of modern prophets to commit suicide, and was finally abandoned by the marquis, cursed by thousands of people, and could not wake up until my death."
"Now I'm awake, but, but I want to go home."
"Mom and Dad must be waiting for me to come home. I've been gone for so long, they must be worried sick, but how can I get out of the house? I don't want to be assimilated into this era like in "Startling by Each Step"..."
Shen Wei couldn't imagine how terrible the restrictions on women were in ancient times, and she couldn't imagine herself being imprisoned in the back house and living a miserable life from then on!
She was born under the five-star red flag.
I once walked alone and saw thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
Have an independent thinking personality.
She has a heart as strong as mountains and flowing water, and an unyielding character. How can she be willing to live with a man?
After a long while, Shen Wei finally had to accept the reality and calm down to think about what to do and how to leave here and go home.
crunch--
Xiaoman, the maid who was discussing outside the door, was startled. She immediately stood up and looked at Shen Wei who opened the door: "Miss Shen, are you awake?"
Shen Wei nodded and glanced at her calmly: "Xiao Man, don't talk about others behind their backs anymore."
"Miss Shen, I..."
"Where is the Marquis?"
Before Xiaoman could open her mouth to explain anything, she was frightened by the question "Where is the Marquis?"
After the Marquis had a big fight with Miss Shen, he stayed in the lady's yard for the whole night.
But she didn't dare tell this to Miss Shen!
In the past, when the Marquis and his wife met, Miss Shen would overthrow the Marquis, but now they are staying overnight...
"Where is the Lord?"
Xiaoman lowered her head: "My Lord...My Lord...is with my Lady."
"Miss Shen, please don't get angry again. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Madam is generous and kind. If you can be more obedient, you will definitely live a great life in this mansion."
"Miss Shen! You can't go!"
"Miss Shen!"
Shen Wei ignored the call from behind and walked out of the side yard.
Mrs. Qin Shuyu in the book is a dignified and polite lady from a noble family who would not offend others unless they offended her.
Familiarize yourself with "Instructions for Women" and "Nei Xun".
She is the best wife who follows the three obediences and four virtues in this era.
She is obviously a good lady, but in the original book, she is described as having a sense of superiority because of her adherence to the virtues of a woman. The main point is that the more rude Shen Wei is, the more obedient she is.
Qin Shuyu and Lord Xie have been childhood sweethearts since they were little.
Unfortunately, not long after they got married, there was chaos on the border. Marquis Xie led his troops to war for five years. When he came back, he fell in love with the unique and flamboyant Shen Wei.
In the main courtyard at this moment.
Lord Xie looked at Qin Shuyu opposite him with a complicated and dazed look. As he looked, he suddenly recalled the scene of their childhood when they were innocent and lived in harmony.
She is different from Shen Wei.
She is quiet, reserved, generous and dignified, and is a well-known noble lady in the capital.
Even though he brought back a woman from the war, she remained silent and even took the initiative to propose taking Shen Wei as her concubine.
Thinking of this, Lord Xie felt a sense of guilt for the first time in a long time: "I'm sorry for putting you through this these days. She's been really absurd lately, and it's exhausting me."
"Don't worry, she won't affect your position as the mistress of the house."
Qin Shuyu looked at the face in front of him that he had been thinking about for five years.
She had admired and loved the man she regarded as her husband since she was a child. Now...now, is the only thing left in their relationship that it will not affect the position of the mistress?
Qin Shuyu suddenly felt bitter and turned her head away: "You stayed at my place last night, weren't you afraid that she would make a scene?"
