Shui Qingqing, who knelt in front of the mourning hall for most of the day, did not get a drop of water until the sunset in the evening, and only came to the wing next door to the mourning hall to eat a meal and rest with the support of Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi helped her take off her complicated and heavy wedding dress and put on a plain cotton jacket, and asked suspiciously: "Miss, why do you want to do this?" In fact, in such a situation, if you regret it, the master will not blame your ......"

Xiaoxi is not only the girl born in the Sheng family, but also the big girl who has been serving by Sheng Yu's side since she was a child, so this time she married into the Hou Mansion, and the Sheng family originally wanted to take care of Shui Qingqing with a few maids and mothers-in-law who accompanied the marriage, but she didn't want them all, and only took Xiaoxi alone.

Because she knows very well in her heart that she is not the real Sheng Yu, she is a fake. After entering the Hou Mansion, the fewer people who know this secret, the better.

And Xiaoxi, who has been by Sheng Yu's side for so many years, knows all of Sheng Yu's habits very well, and in the days to come, Shui Qingqing will have to rely on her reminder to continue to cover up this identity......

After changing into a wedding dress and washing off the heavy rouge gouache on her face, Shui Qingqing felt that her whole person was much more refreshed, and even the nervousness in her heart since entering the house was relaxed.

After eating two bowls of white rice in one go, and then pouring down a small half pot of tea, Shui Qingqing, who had filled her stomach, lay on her back on the comfortable and warm couch, and closed her eyes tiredly.

Since she was preparing to get married last night, she hasn't slept all night, and with the twists and turns of today's day, she is still exhausted.

In fact, to be precise, from the moment the child was snatched away and she escaped death and was fished out of the lake by the Sheng family, her heart has never really been at peace, and she has been tense until she is about to suffocate......

However, Shui Qingqing, who was obviously exhausted, did not feel sleepy at all, and kept thinking about the first confrontation with Mei Zijin in the mourning hall, and when Mei Zijin looked at him, there was a chill of inquiry in his eyes......

The more she thought about it, the more she trembled, and she had a bad premonition in her heart, and she always felt that she had missed something today.

The next moment, she suddenly sat up, startling Xiaoxi, who was helping her cover the quilt.

"Miss...... What happened to you? ”

Shui Qingqing's eyes looked straight at the frightened Xiaoxi, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoxi, let me ask you, if she were replaced by your young lady today, what would she do?" ”

Xiaoxi said uncertainly: "Miss is asking...... The eldest prince died suddenly, how would my young lady react? ”

"Hmm." Shui Qingqing nodded.

Xiaoxi's face darkened, and she snorted: "Miss, you know, my young lady is unwilling to marry Mei Dagongzi to be this Chongxi lady, otherwise she will not jump into the lake and commit suicide...... If it were her today, let alone wearing linen and filial piety for the eldest son, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to open the door of the sedan chair...... Until death, the only person she likes in her heart is Hou Ye. ”

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's little face turned white, and she finally understood that her abnormal behavior contrary to Sheng Yu today was afraid that she had made Mei Zijin suspicious.

Could this be the reason why he finally relented and agreed to let him stay?

The body that had just warmed up became stiff and cold again, Shui Qingqing went to the ground with her sore forehead, looking at the snowflakes fluttering outside, and her heart was troubled.

Xiaoxi followed behind her, hesitated for a moment and finally asked again: "Miss, in fact, the slave maid doesn't quite understand in her heart, obviously the eldest prince is dead, and even the Hou Mansion has taken the initiative to push this family business, why does the young lady insist on wearing linen and filial piety to marry into the Hou Mansion......"

Her eyes sank, and Shui Qingqing thought that even Xiaoxi, a maid, could detect the unusual behavior of her today, and she must be even more suspicious of herself as the shrewd and powerful Marquis of Dingguo, Mei Zijin.

So, what should she do next, in order to dispel everyone's suspicion of her, and give herself a reasonable explanation for her actions today, so as to truly gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion......
