Chapter 1: Chongxi Lady
A bright red ......
Shui Qingqing's head was covered with a red Xipa embroidered with mandarin ducks, and she sat in the sedan chair with her back straight.
She had never sat in a sedan chair, and she was a little dizzy by the sedan chair.
Clenching the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, Shui Qingqing closed her eyes to suppress the panic and discomfort surging in her heart.
But in my ears, there was an endless stream of jokes from the onlookers on the street.
"Anyway, this daughter of the Sheng family was bent on marrying Mei Zijin, the Marquis of Dingguo, but she didn't expect to become the little sister-in-law of the Marquis of Dingguo, it's really interesting."
"I heard that she made a lot of trouble about this before, and even jumped into the lake, but I didn't expect that after being fished out of the lake, the person was quiet, not noisy or noisy, and promised to marry into the Dingguo Marquis Mansion as this Chongxi lady......"
"Alas, it's pitiful to say, this eldest son of the Mei family can't breathe that day, this Sheng Yu is only afraid that she will be a widow as soon as she marries, no wonder she is going to jump into the lake......"
"Hey, I want to know more, if you really become a widow, you say, according to Sheng Yu's enthusiasm for the Marquis of Dingguo, will he be a thief and wait for an opportunity to pester the little uncle......"
Of course not, because I'm not Sheng Yu - I'm Shui Qingqing!
The closed eyes suddenly opened, Shui Qingqing's eyes were stained with blood, her teeth were clenched, and the chill in her heart made her thin body tremble uncontrollably......
The noisy human voices and the sound of festive firecrackers all died down, and only the cry of a baby remained in Shui Qingqing's ears.
The baby cried helplessly, and the cry echoed in her head for a long time, and again and again. It was as if the newborn, delicate child who had just broken through the ground was crying in front of her eyes at this moment. Every sound slashed Shui Qingqing's heart......
Tears fell unconsciously from her dark eyes, Shui Qingqing gritted her teeth to suppress the hatred and pain in her heart, and was about to wipe away her tears with a handkerchief, when the sedan chair suddenly stopped and fell to the ground with a bang, which made Shui Qingqing's hand holding the handkerchief tremble slightly.
Before she came back to her senses, the red sedan curtain was lifted, and the maid Xiaoxi poked her head in with a white face and said, "Miss is not good, there is news from the Hou Mansion, the eldest prince ...... The eldest prince swallowed his breath a quarter of an hour ago - dead! ”
The whole body trembled violently, Shui Qingqing ripped off the hijab on her head, looked at Xiao Xi with a flustered face in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "What are you talking about...... The eldest prince is gone?! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shui Qingqing realized that the joy along the way had stopped at some point, and the chatters of everyone on the side of the road were all ugly words such as 'broom star', 'bad luck' and 'new widow'.
Xiaoxi was so anxious that she was about to cry, and said with a sad face: "Miss, now that the sedan chair has just reached the halfway point, you have not yet entered the mansion, and you have not paid homage to the prince of Namei...... I'm afraid that this family business will not be counted, so let's go back to the Sheng family the same way......"
Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's mind went blank-
It stands to reason that the eldest son of Mei was terminally ill and married her just to be happy, but now he died before she entered the door, so this family business can not be counted, which is a good thing for her.
However, at the beginning, she promised the Sheng family to marry into the Hou Mansion instead of Sheng Yu, not only to repay the Sheng family's life-saving grace, but also for her own purposes-
She endured the humiliation of the child, but within a moment of birth, she was snatched away by the people of the Hou Mansion before she had time to hug and see what her son looked like.
Swear to death, she will take her child back!
Even through the bright red Xipa, the sharp nails that had been growing for almost three months still pinched out the red marks on the palms of his hands, and there was a pain, but Shui Qingqing's dark and panicked eyes instantly returned to calm.
She smiled dismally and said slowly: "Since I have walked out of my parents' house in my wedding dress, I am the daughter who married out, and there is no reason to go back." Xiaoxi, please find filial piety clothes for me - even if I wear linen and filial piety, I will also marry into the Hou Mansion! ”
