A good omen for a good person

  What would most women do if they found out their fiancé had a mistress in their past life? Would they beat up the mistress or slap the man twice and leave with a cool face, but actually need time to heal in secret, and the worst is that they love this man so much that they continue to entangle and suffer. Xianyi didn't have such an experience in her past life, but in this life, when she saw the man who might be her husband being intimate with another woman, she didn't feel any anger or hatred because she wasn't familiar with him. At this time, what Xianyi thought was that this marriage might not happen after all.

  "Your mother has finally lost this time." Jin Fenghua couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude.

  As for this point, Xian Yi was very much in agreement. Her mother had rarely made mistakes in judging people throughout her life, but it seemed that she had made a rare mistake in the matter of her daughter's marriage.

  "Let's go." Watching so-called "fiancé" and Yu Shuang arguing for some reason, Xian Yi suddenly lost interest, and after yawning, said.

  "Don't you want to know what they're talking about?" Jin Fenghua felt that it wasn't enough, he had been bored for too long and rarely found something fun.

  Xian Yi shook her head, looking distracted. She really didn't know how to explain things to her mother, nor did she know how to tell her that her "fiancé" had found a mistress. Moreover, if her marriage fell through, it would be even easier for the madam to take action.

  "Don't worry, your mother has shut up the madam with her words. As long as Jin Qiaoling's man doesn't show up for the exam, Madam won't send you over." Jin Fenghua looked at Yu Shuang who had already started crying and sighed regretfully, then picked up Xian Yi and went back to the rooftop, adding another sentence out of kindness.

  Xian Yi's eyes lit up, and after some thought, she knew that Jin Fenghua hadn't deceived her. However, as long as this matter wasn't settled, she and her mother couldn't be at peace for even a day.

  "Just you wait, but before that, you must also keep your life intact." Jin Fenghua put the immortal clothes back in her courtyard, and her gaze stayed on the direction of the main house of the great lady. Even if she wanted to leave, it couldn't be so calm.

  Xianyi and Jinfenghua walked in the moonlit night, while Zhaojialang and Yudou had a secret meeting. The Jin family's mansion seemed to be asleep on the surface, but someone was secretly stirring. Yunshuang was injured from being beaten with a board and had been bedridden for several days with a high fever, unable to move or turn over. Tonight was supposed to be Yudou's turn to watch her, but when she woke up in the middle of the night, she found Zengyima sitting at the head of her bed, looking at her with a sympathetic expression.

  Yun Shuang's head shook slightly, and she wanted to get up, but could only groan in pain, her eyebrows furrowed.

  "Stop, stop! Just lie down." Zeng Yini comforted, and immediately took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom: "This is the medicine from last time, you used it up without telling me, this medicine is better than the one outside, you can suffer less."

  "Yun Shuang has already caused a lot of trouble for Nanny, and now she's troubling her again by coming here in the middle of the night to deliver medicine. It's really not right of Yun Shuang." Previously, Yun Shuang had a bad impression of Zeng Nanny, thinking she was flattering, powerful, and liked to stir up trouble. However, since Yun Shuang got injured, although Chen Nanny would say some comforting words, it was actually Zeng Nanny who came to deliver medicine and take care of her. This made Yun Shuang feel a bit closer to Zeng Nanny. Nevertheless, she forgot that if it weren't for Chen Nanny's arrangements, who would have taken care of her, provided her with food and medicine, not to mention reducing Yun Shuang's workload and giving her more time to rest? Even the fairy clothes had secretly given her many supplements, but she took them as a sign of guilt. In the end, in Yun Shuang's heart, Zeng Nanny's two bottles of medicine were worth more than all that.

  Zeng Nainai saw her attitude and thought there was a chance, so she continued to pretend to be regretful: "What a good girl, but with such an encounter."

  Yun Shuang listened and tears welled up, she buried her face in the pillow and secretly wiped them away, saying: "It's all Yun Shuang's miserable fate..."

  "What nonsense, some people are just born to suffer." Zeng Yini pretended to be displeased and said: "You're just having a bad streak lately, and you're also blocking someone's way..."

  Yun Shuang immediately grasped the key point and looked up, saying: "Is what you said really true, Nanny..."

  "Alas! Look at this mouth of mine." Zeng Yifen slapped her own mouth lightly and sighed, "I'm just someone with a bad mouth, always saying things that others don't want to hear. Otherwise, the mistress wouldn't have disliked me either."

  "Auntie, you have to tell me about this. I can't just be kept in the dark like this." Yun Shuang couldn't think of her own recklessness at that time, nor could she think of how Xian Yi was still pulling her back from behind. She only thought that someone wanted to harm her, which is why she ended up so miserable until now.

  Zeng Nainai looked at her with difficulty, and finally, as if she really couldn't bear it, carefully checked the windows and doors before returning to Yun Shuang's side and saying: "This matter, you must keep it in your belly after hearing it, do you understand?"

  Yun Shuang saw her being so cautious and hastily nodded.

  The old lady coughed and sank her breath before saying: "Big Uncle wants to choose a concubine, do you know that?"

  "I've heard of it, but didn't you send Chun Jing sister over before?" Yun Shuang originally didn't have this intention and hadn't paid attention.

  "Spring Scene is in good hands, having a child now. With Big Uncle's side having fewer people to serve, I'm afraid another one will be sent over." Zeng Nian's voice was low and cautious as she drew closer: "Originally, the first wife had taken a liking to Winter Scene, but then Winter Scene's uncle came looking for her. It's likely that it won't be long before Winter Scene is ransomed out of here."

  Yun Shuang had also heard some messages about Dong Jing, but she didn't expect it to be like this, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is indeed Sister Dong Jing's blessing."

  "Can't be, this is going out, it's a good family girl, can't marry what kind of family, being someone's concubine is suffering for a lifetime." Zeng Yiniang now has the same tone and attitude as when she persuaded Xianyi before, only the content has completely reversed direction.

  "That's right." Yun Shuang replied in agreement.

  "This won't do, if Winter Scene leaves, the madam will have to choose someone again. If there's anyone suitable for her age this year, it would only be you, Xianxian, and Xiuzhu." Zeng Yiniang took a sip of cold tea from the teacup with familiarity: "Xiuzhu, you know that with such a flighty temperament, if she were to become the concubine of the eldest master, it wouldn't help the eldest miss, but rather bring trouble to her instead."

  Yun Shuang usually had a normal relationship with Xiuzhu, after all, Xiuzhu's mouth was really poisonous and her temper was explosive. Whatever she wanted to say, she would say it, and even if she left the house, no one else in the main room could talk to her. But when the matter of the concubine involved herself, Yun Shuang couldn't help but blush with shame.

  "Alas, to be honest, this matter isn't a good thing either. So the madam is just considering and hasn't decided on anyone yet. Besides, Master has to take the imperial examination soon, where would he have the energy to take a concubine? It's just that I don't know which loose-tongued person told Xianxian... " Zeng Yiniang's unspoken meaning was already obvious.

  Yun Shuang's lips trembled and her face turned even paler as she said, "Sister Xianxian is going to be someone's concubine? Doesn't she already have a husband?"

  "It was originally not her turn, but Chen Ayi insisted on marrying her to the young servant in the mansion. With her appearance and temperament, how could she be willing? Zeng Ayi disdainfully waved her handkerchief and continued: "Moreover, Madame promised Chen Ayi that she would let her have autonomy over her marriage, so it's impossible for her to go back on her word. However, if she herself is willing, and considering her age, there's only one possibility left, Madame will definitely think twice about it."

  Yun Shuang recalled that although Xian Yi had been quite friendly to her in the past, they hadn't been particularly close, and she was also a bit skeptical, yet she had actually believed more than half of it.

  "Silly girl, otherwise why would she insist on finding you that day? It was just a trivial errand, anyone could have gone.” Zeng Yiniang completely concealed the fact that it was a habit to find someone else present when scolding, and let Yun Shuang think in the direction of Xianyi's unnecessary actions.

  Yun Shuang became more and more indignant, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "I didn't think I was blocking anyone's way, how could they be so ruthless over such a trivial matter?"

  "Who says it isn't...?" Zeng Nainai glanced at the door and pretended to wipe away tears with her handkerchief, saying: "But it's also good that way. Once Xianxian goes to live with Big Brother, you won't have to worry about being remembered by her either."

  "But Aunt Chen..." Yun Shuang was now completely flustered.

  "It's all because of not having a good status. Zeng Nainai said with an air of experience: "You see, I was given by the old lady, but in the end, I'm not as good as the maid in someone else's house who is their own mother. Child, if you want to live well, you have to look up and aim high, as long as the mistress favors us, we don't need to be afraid of anyone."

  Yun Shuang stood there, repeatedly pondering this sentence.

  She saw the situation and gave another dose of strong medicine: "Think about it, when Dong Jing is ransomed out, Xian Xian will be someone's concubine again. In this main house, the one with the most seniority will only be Autumn Scenery and Xiuzhu. However, Autumn Scenery is not young anymore, and Xiuzhu is a useless person. At that time, only you... can sit in the position of the eldest daughter-in-law."

  "But madam is already tired of me." Yun Shuang thought of madam's eyes burning with anger and shrank back a little.

  "Don't worry, madam is just venting her anger, it will pass soon. Just wait and see, second young master will definitely succeed this time. When the time comes, madam will be overjoyed and everything will be forgotten." Zeng Yini held Yun Shuang's hand affectionately and said: "At that time, you can become my goddaughter, just like Chen Yini and Xian Yi are close to me? In the future, with you and me in the main house, what is there to fear?"

  Yun Shuang felt the warmth in Zeng Nainai's hands, and a flame suddenly ignited in her heart. The more she thought about how glamorous she was when she became the eldest daughter-in-law, the hotter her head became. She thought that if she could surpass Chen Nainai, even if Xian Yi became the concubine of her husband, she would still have to treat herself with respect. Later, after winning over her mother-in-law and currying favor with her sister-in-law, it wouldn't be difficult for Xian Yi to wear small shoes, and even if she wanted to avenge this grievance in the future, it wouldn't be too hard.

  Zeng Nainai looked at Yun Shuang's expression and knew that the matter was settled. People, when in adversity, are most likely to take a wrong path. As long as they were given enough chips, she didn't believe Yun Shuang wouldn't take the bait.
