Chapter 1 Through the book
"Second Miss, it's windy today. I'm afraid it's going to rain. Let's go back to the yard."
Shen Qingyu did not open her eyes immediately. At this moment, the pain all over her body as if she was crushed had gradually faded away, but her heart was filled with turbulent waves.
She opened her eyelids, lowered her long eyelashes, and took in the scenery in front of her, but she still looked half asleep and half awake.
Just now, she put on headphones and continued listening to a novel. The vicious and tragic female supporting role in this novel had the same name as herself. She was suppressed by the female protagonist at the beginning of the story. Shen Qingyu was secretly unhappy. She wanted to see what this female supporting role would become in the hands of the author, so she listened to the book to the finale, and suddenly the list turned over and continued playing.
When she heard the beginning, she felt something was wrong. She had just heard the finale, so why did it suddenly jump to the first chapter?
It happened that she was crossing the road at the time, and she was still hesitating whether to take out her mobile phone to take a look, wondering if she was being too arrogant on the street.
The next second, he heard a shrill horn. The moment the car hit him, Shen Qingyu felt that all the bones in his body were broken.
But as the pain gradually disappeared, these words appeared in my ears.
The waterside pavilions, towers, rockery and strange rocks in front of me don’t look like a modern environment at all.
"Second Miss, Xiangyun will go back with you."
Xiangyun?
Fragrant cloud!
The maidservant beside the vicious female character at the beginning of the novel?
Shen Qingyu turned her head with a slightly stiff neck. Standing next to her was a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was wearing a light yellow dress and had a fairly tender face. She looked quite cute.
Xiangyun saw Shen Qingyu was a little stunned, "Second Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Qingyu found himself in a pavilion in a rockery surrounded by dangerous rocks. The whole hill was planted with dense green bamboos, and there was a waterside pavilion above. From a distance, he could see the sparkling water of a pond.
She opened her eyes and then closed them again, accepting the fact helplessly.
Shen Qingyu is an ordinary worker. She met with a car accident on her way home from get off work. It was just a matter of closing her eyes and opening them again, and the scenery in front of her eyes changed completely. What she likes to do on weekdays is to read and listen to novels. She has basically read all the novels about time travel. It’s not that she can’t accept it, but she can only sigh silently in her heart that things in the world are impermanent.
She asked tentatively, "Where's my mother?"
Shen Qingyu remembered that the novel began with the heroine Shen Xitong and her stepmother Bai attending a flower-viewing banquet hosted by the wife of the prefect of Jinling Prefecture.
The heroine Shen Xitong is known as a talented woman. She became famous and stole the show at this flower-viewing banquet with a poem.
Shen Xitong is good in everything: good looks, good character, and good talent. It's a pity that she was born in a poor family. She was born in her aunt's belly, so she was naturally shorter than others.
But Shen Xitong did not believe in fate. She was outstanding in everything, and a concubine's daughter surpassed her, a legitimate daughter.
Yes, the Shen family of Jinling Prefecture is also a famous family and a wealthy family.
The legitimate daughter Shen Qingyu is plain-looking and mediocre in talent, and is disliked by her own mother. Shen's legitimate mother, Bai Ying, would rather take her concubine's daughter Shen Xitong to attend the flower-viewing banquet hosted by the prefect's wife than take her own daughter out.
Shen Qingyu secretly spat, what kind of mother is this!
Xiangyun shook her head and replied, "Second Miss, you must have forgotten that Madam and the eldest lady will not be back until after dinner."
Shen Qingyu responded lightly, stood up and said nothing more.
Her brain was racing, not only thinking about the plot, but also about what she should do next. This was not a very good fate for her, Shen Qingyu, who had the same name as her.
The Shen family owed a favor, and they used their children's marriages to repay it. But at that time, the Nanrong family of Jinling Prefecture fell in love with Shen Xitong, so they couldn't marry their concubine's daughter to them. So the one who was used to repay the favor was Shen Qingyu.
There is another one about the festival.
Before the marriage was discussed, Bai's youngest son, her full brother from the same mother, the young master of the Shen family, who was only five years old, died of a sudden illness.
Bai Ying cursed her like crazy, saying that she was a disaster star, born in February, and unlucky to her relatives and friends. Her own brother died because of her, and because of her, the Shen family had no heirs for so many years!
Then, her father married her to the Xu family as if to drive away the plague.
What kind of place is the Xu family? It must be another level of hell. In short, from the scattered words and sentences, Shen Qingyu did not have an easy life in the Xu family. Her misery set off the beauty and happiness of the heroine. Xu Mingsheng, the scholar of the Xu family, came from a poor family. All the things he used were supplemented by the dowry that Shen Qingyu brought from her natal family.
Later, Xu Mingsheng passed the imperial examination and had a promising future. The first thing he did was to divorce her because she had a serious illness and had no children in three years, so she was not worthy of being the wife of Xu's only son.
In fact, the biggest reason was that Xu Mingsheng only found out by chance why the Shen family was so happy to marry their daughter to him. Shen Qingyu was born in February, and her fate was unlucky for her relatives. She had a bad destiny and would not die a good death.
The fate predicted by the master of Lingxu Temple ruined the life of Shen Qingyu, the supporting character.
She was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Although she was not loved by her biological mother, she was well-educated and well-mannered, and should not have ended up like this.
She looked at her face clearly on the rippling water surface blown by the wind. It was just as described in the book, her appearance was plain. More than that, Shen Qingyu dressed herself up like an ugly peacock. She had all the gold and silver jewelry and gorgeous clothes. However, such strong colors matched with such an unremarkable face were really suffocating.
Not dressed like this!
Even if Shen Qingyu is not beautiful at all, she shouldn't dress like this. She is even more gorgeous than the matchmakers outside, wearing bright red, purple and green. No wonder Bai Ying refused to take her out. She would be embarrassed to go out herself!
After thinking about it, Shen Qingyu quickly took off the jewelry on her head and wiped the powder on her face with a handkerchief, finally revealing a fairly pretty face.
She breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that the situation was not hopeless.
However, her action frightened Xiangyun who was standing beside her. She quickly picked up the jewelry and asked, "Second Miss, what happened?"
Xiangyun's heart was beating fast. Could it be that the second young lady was angry because she heard that the mistress and the eldest young lady went out?
But didn’t the second young lady know about this long ago?
I've been by Mirror Lake for an entire afternoon. If I wanted to be angry, I would have been angry a long time ago. Why did I wait until now?
