Chapter 168 The Maid Who Married in Place 2
In fact, if Muchen hadn't come through, the original owner would have been able to succeed.
Cheng Yuanzhi was a weak scholar and had no awareness of the sneak attack from behind.
As long as the original owner's first knife could successfully penetrate his lower back, Cheng Yuanzhi would basically have no combat effectiveness.
Even calling for help was impossible, because that was how the original owner killed Cheng Yuanzhi in her previous life.
What happened next was that the original owner followed the eldest lady back to the Marquis' Mansion, acting like a loyal servant.
Because she knew that the Marquis and his wife in the Marquis' Mansion were masters who would not beat or kill their servants at will.
And she bet that the eldest lady would protect her at all costs.
Then she made the right bet, and not only that, she also became the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion and got married for her young lady.
This is quite sudden.
How to say it, the original owner Zhenrong was a very smart girl. She always knew not to underestimate the masters in the mansion.
Of course, except for her young lady.
People are powerful and influential, not just because of good luck, they can get to their current status.
She must have some real skills, so even though she is cruel and ruthless, she always knows her own worth.
You know, there are families in the capital who have obtained a title thanks to their ancestors' influence, but have not been able to keep it.
Your ancestors can leave you property and power, but if you cannot stand up on your own, it is no different from a child carrying gold in a busy city.
Now, the Marquis found out that she had killed Cheng Yuanzhi.
Moreover, the Marquis also realized that the scholar who seduced his silly daughter was most likely someone hired by Prince Duan.
Because it took less than two hours for her and the eldest lady to escape and be found.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. When they entered the city, they showed the token from the Marquis' Mansion before the guards at the city gate let them in.
But they used large cloaks to wrap her and the young lady tightly throughout the whole process, making it impossible for outsiders to recognize that they were two women.
As for the servants in the Marquis' Mansion, those who followed the housekeeper out to chase her and the young lady were all the Marquis's confidants.
Some of them are even the Marquis's secret guards, so their loyalty can be guaranteed.
So how did Prince Duan know about it without leaking the news, and how did he visit the Marquis' Mansion late at night?
The Marquis naturally doesn't want to marry his daughter to such a fool who is willing to live and die for a woman.
His daughter hasn't even married yet, but he's already come up with this idea to ruin his daughter Jingshu's reputation. If they ever really become husband and wife, his silly daughter probably won't live for many more years.
In fact, the Marquis really overestimated Prince Duan. There was nothing wrong in saying that he was a fool, because it was the prince's confidante who suggested finding someone to seduce the eldest lady's attention.
He was just an executor.
But the same thing goes, this marriage cannot be cancelled, not even by changing the candidate.
The one who can marry the Prince of Duan must be a legitimate daughter, but there is only one legitimate daughter in their mansion.
The Marquis has two daughters. One is the eldest daughter, Shen Jingshu, born to the main wife, and the other is the second daughter, Shen Jingya, born to the concubine.
These two daughters are his darlings. They have been raised by his wife personally for many years and have received her meticulous teaching and care.
The Marquis' wife was gentle, virtuous, knowledgeable and talented, and she taught his two daughters very well.
In the capital, whenever these two young ladies from the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion are mentioned, everyone praises them.
The eldest daughter has dignified and elegant manners, a graceful demeanor, and is kind and friendly to others.
Although the second daughter was born out of wedlock, she was lively and clever, and could compose poems and songs at will.
The relationship between these two sisters is good, without the conflicts between legitimate and illegitimate children like in other families.
But it is precisely because there are not so many dirty things happening in their house that these two daughters are somewhat naive and ignorant of the world.
The wife of the Marquis was not unaware of the tricks in the harem, nor was she unwilling to teach them to the two children.
But there is a saying in this world that makes a lot of sense, which is that you cannot empathize with others unless they happen to you.
Did you say that Madam Hou had taught you before?
They had been taught, but the two girls in the harem, who had never experienced anything, took what the marquis's wife told them as a storybook.
Originally, the Marquis' wife was not in a hurry. She thought that as long as they had heard about these things, they would have an idea of them.
They all came from when they were girls, and when her mother told her about this, she seemed to have a similar reaction.
When you get married one day, if you really encounter something disgusting, you will know how to deal with it.
She was lucky, even though the Marquis had two concubines.
But those two people were taken in by her for the Marquis, and over the years, the couple can be said to have lived in harmony and treated each other with respect.
But who could have imagined that the marriage of his eldest daughter would have so many twists and turns.
Originally, the Marquis still felt a little guilty towards Prince Duan's Mansion about his eldest daughter's escape, and thought that if it didn't work out, he would let his second daughter Shen Jingya marry in her sister's place.
But this Prince Duan couldn't even wait until dawn, and came to visit so late at night to accuse me. It was really ugly.
If you really want to cancel the engagement, come here and talk to me openly and honestly.
Although it is said that the engagement cannot be cancelled, there is actually a way if you really want to cancel it.
Although it was the Queen Mother who arranged the marriage, it is not impossible to make some adjustments if necessary.
But you are obviously using your own daughter's reputation to set up this scheme, which is really disgusting.
Just at this moment, the secret guard reported to him that the original owner had killed the scholar.
If Zhenrong catches the Marquis's eye, isn't she a good candidate to marry into Prince Duan's Mansion?
After all, the marriage between the two families involves many interests. If this little maid were to marry him, all problems would be solved.
Moreover, the original owner grew up with his daughter and knew all her habits very well.
The daughter rarely goes out, and even when she does, she wears a hat and veil. And every time she goes out, the original owner is usually with her.
In other words, the original owner had also seen the same person that the eldest lady had seen.
It was just that her identity at that time was just a maidservant beside the eldest lady. Even if she met any acquaintances in the future, the original owner would be able to deal with them.
Furthermore, even if her daughter wanted to elope with a poor scholar and live a hard life, this girl would still stay with her daughter, which shows that she is loyal.
Moreover, the Marquis also took a liking to her ruthlessness and decisiveness, and saw her as a good candidate for great things.
In this way, the original owner replaced the identity of the eldest lady and became the princess consort of Prince Duan.
The original eldest daughter was secretly sent to her parents' home by the Marquis' wife. After two years, she was given a new identity and allowed to marry.
