Cheng Yujin stood at the door and didn't know what day it was.
She didn't experience those things, but at this moment, she looked at the red in front of her and felt as if she was standing in her previous life. At that time, it was just as noisy. Everyone teased her, "Eldest Miss is so beautiful today."
In the blink of an eye, the scene changed back to Marquis Jingyong's mansion. Huo Zhangyuan lifted her veil, and the maidservants on both sides immediately said auspicious words as if they didn't need money, "We wish Madam and Marquis Ye to have a child soon and grow old together."
Cheng Yujin didn't experience those things, but at this moment, the memories came to her like a tide. The scenes were like a shadow play. They were lively, prosperous, and red. In the end, it was a silent black and white scene. The maid with blood on her hands ran out and said, "Old Madam, the Young Madam's fetus is not in the right position. She has a difficult birth. I'm afraid we can only save one."
She saw the Huxue Clan's serious face and her lips opened and closed without hesitation, "Save the baby."
The last scene was the maid just now. She walked forward with a swaddling cloth and handed it to the Huxue Clan. She said with a smile, "Old Madam, it's a boy."
"Where's Madam?"
"Madam, she … she has a hemorrhage. I'm afraid she can't be saved."
…
Cheng Yujin stood at the door in a daze for a moment. At this time, the people in the room saw Cheng Yujin and greeted her with a smile, "Eldest Miss is here!"
Cheng Yujin's wandering mind immediately returned to its original place, and the noise came to her ears again. Cheng Yujin was a little surprised. What happened to her just now? It was like her soul was out of her body and she was haunted.
What she saw just now was probably the scene of her previous life. She didn't experience it. Even if the person inside was herself, it was like she was watching someone else's story. These scenes flashed quickly and intermittently. Cheng Yujin felt her heart palpitate.
The maid inside saw that Cheng Yujin didn't speak for a long time and looked at her strangely. Cheng Yujin quickly gathered her thoughts and nodded at the person inside with her usual dignified and somewhat restrained smile. "I'm here to see my second sister. Is everything ready, Second Sister? "
"Not yet. Second Young Lady is putting on her makeup."
Cheng Yujin walked in with a smile. Her expression was naturally gentle. "Today is my sister's big day. No matter how meticulous the makeup is, it's not too much."
When Cheng Yumo heard that Cheng Yujin had arrived, she was about to stand up, but she was stopped by Cheng Yujin and the maidservants behind her: "Second Sister, you don't have to move. It's important to put on your makeup first."
Cheng Yumo nodded and continued to sit in front of the embroidered stool, allowing everyone to draw on her face. Through the mirror, Cheng Yumo could clearly see Cheng Yujin standing behind her. Cheng Yujin was dressed in white today. Although her kneecaps and embroidery were red, overall, it still looked very plain. Standing in the bright red bridal chamber, Cheng Yujin was surprisingly conspicuous.
She was even more conspicuous than the real protagonist, Cheng Yumo.
Cheng Yumo felt a sense of difficulty in her heart. Because she was afraid of dirtying the wedding dress, Cheng Yumo was only wearing an inner garment. Many maidservants surrounded her and drew on her face. Cheng Yumo had no right to speak. Because the bride's makeup was exaggerated, Cheng Yumo's face was covered in layers of powder. Her eyebrows were raised until they were black and thin. Coupled with her deathly pale face, she simply looked like a female ghost. Cheng Yujin stood behind her with a faint smile. The corners of her eyes and eyebrows were carefully drawn. Her exquisite beauty did not show that the makeup was heavy. Her red and white dress made Cheng Yujin tall and fair. Compared to Cheng Yumo, who had been fiddled with so much makeup that it was impossible to see her original shape, it was like heaven and earth. The effect was tragic.
Cheng Yumo was a little embarrassed. One moment she resented the cumbersome makeup, and the next moment she resented the makeup lady's rough hands. In the end, Cheng Yumo thought bitterly, why was her sister so scheming? Even on Cheng Yumo's wedding day, Cheng Yujin was not willing to let go. She must steal the bride's limelight.
She stared at Cheng Yujin behind her through the mirror and unconsciously became absent-minded. When Cheng Yujin got married in her previous life, did she also look like a female ghost? Cheng Yumo couldn't remember clearly. At that time, she had suffered a great blow and was seriously ill. She didn't even have much time to be awake. How could she remember what kind of makeup Cheng Yujin had put on? However, when she returned home, Cheng Yujin's complexion was very good. Her complexion was white with a hint of red. Her eyebrows and eyes were clear. Her whole person was like a pearl, exuding a radiance that was different from a young girl's.
At that time, Cheng Yumo didn't understand why. Now that she had experienced human affairs and had become husband and wife with Huo Changyuan, how could she not understand the reason behind it?
Cheng Yumo felt a little sour and bitter in her heart. Before she found Huo Changyuan, Huo Changyuan and her sister's relationship was very good. Huo Changyuan himself might not feel it, but in the eyes of outsiders, when Huo Changyuan looked at Cheng Yujin, his eyebrows clearly softened. Cheng Yumo even felt that Huo Changyuan didn't want to know the truth. Without the truth, he could continue to deceive himself and continue to be in love with her sister like that.
Even if the price was Cheng Yumo, the real savior.
Cheng Yumo thought about the things that happened after she got married in her previous life and became more and more upset. No wonder people said that it was difficult to be the second wife. Cheng Yumo and Huo Changyuan clearly had feelings for each other, and Cheng Yujin was clearly the third party who stole his love. However, after Cheng Yumo married Huo Changyuan, she still lived in the shadow of the first wife. Even Huo Changyuan couldn't forget Cheng Yujin.
He could deceive others, including the Huxue Clan, and even himself, but he couldn't deceive the person sleeping next to him. Cheng Yumo was very depressed. In this rebirth, the first thing she did was to expose the truth. She would rather bear the infamy of stealing her sister's marriage, and would rather get married during the mourning period and be criticized by others than be a shadow under Cheng Yujin's halo.
Cheng Yumo thought that she was going to get married soon, and the shadow of her previous life would be over, and everything would be back on track. However, at this moment, she looked at her reflection in the mirror and was very picky. She couldn't help but admit that Cheng Yujin was still so beautiful, so generous, and so perfect. In this life, Cheng Yujin's engagement had been annulled. Cheng Yujin would no longer be as glorious as she was in her previous life. She should have been unable to recover from this setback and become as gloomy and thin as Cheng Yumo in her previous life. How could she still be so calm and collected, and so calmly harvest everyone's attention?
Cheng Yumo unconsciously bit her lip. Because she used too much force, she accidentally bit it until it bled. The makeup lady exclaimed and hurriedly said, "Second Young Lady, you can't. You are the bride today, and your makeup can't be messed up."
Cheng Yumo was startled and hurriedly loosened her teeth, panic flashing across her face. The maidservants were suddenly in a mess, and each of them were panicking. Cheng Yujin took a step forward and looked at the wound on Cheng Yumo's mouth, saying, "It's not a big deal. It's just a small wound. It won't be visible once the bleeding stops. Change her lipstick to this color. If you put it on thickly, it won't be visible. "
The makeup lady tried to change the color and found that it was really useful. The makeup lady let out a long sigh of relief and repeatedly said, "Fortunately, Eldest Young Lady has a good idea. Otherwise, today's wedding wouldn't end well."
Cheng Yujin smiled and didn't agree with the makeup lady's words. She quietly retreated to the side and watched. Cheng Yumo was even more unhappy when she heard the makeup lady's words. The makeup lady seemed to dislike her and said, "Aiyo, my Second Young Lady, you are the bride today, so you can't frown. Hurry and smile. You just put on your lipstick, so you can't ruin the makeup on your face. "
Cheng Yumo was extremely embarrassed by her words. She looked at everything reflected in the mirror and became more and more depressed. It was like this again. No matter what she did, she would be disliked. No matter what she said, the maidservants would lightly say, "This is what Eldest Young Lady said." Even today's wedding was the same.
Cheng Yumo's heart was moved and became more tense. They had eyes but couldn't see. She wanted to let these people see who was the one with the true noble aura among her sisters.
Because Cheng Yumo bit her lip, the makeup lady and maidservants hurriedly put on a new lipstick. When Mrs. Quan Fu came to comb Cheng Yumo's hair, the makeup wasn't finished yet. The people in the room scrambled to change Cheng Yumo's clothes. Before they were done, loud firecrackers sounded outside.
"The wedding procession is here. Marquis Jingyong is here!"
When the womenfolk in the room heard this, they became even more flustered. Cheng Yumo's face was also anxious. She was not properly dressed now. If she was seen by others, she would lose all her face. The room was in a mess. Cheng Yujin really didn't look good. She said, "Hurry up and change Second Young Lady's clothes. I'll let the people outside cover her."
Three days after a wedding was no big deal. If the new son-in-law wanted to marry the new bride, he would be teased by the womenfolk of the bride's family. Thanks to the Cheng Family's men, who were all ignorant and incompetent, Huo Zhangyuan had barged in earlier than expected. Cheng Yujin thought of the mess in the boudoir and suddenly had a headache. She could only do it herself to buy more time for the people inside.
The Langjuns were originally very noisy. They were like a hot knife through butter. The men of the Cheng Family were easily defeated. The Langjuns were very proud and didn't care about the womenfolk. How could the maidservants stop these strong young men? Just as they were about to be rushed over, they were suddenly stopped by a voice. "Wait."
Cheng Yujin turned around from behind the screen. When she appeared, the room was obviously quiet. There was a difference between the inside and the outside. It was rare for men to see unmarried womenfolk. Cheng Yujin was famous, but only a few of the Cheng Family's cousins had seen her in person. Now that Cheng Yujin walked out from behind, the young men who wanted to see the world in chaos fell silent one by one. Even the Prime Minister, who was invited by Marquis Jingyong, couldn't help but ask quietly, "Who is this?"
Huo Changyuan was a little absent-minded the whole day. When he was riding on a horse, he often felt confused. He couldn't even tell who he was going to marry. But now, when he saw the person in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up. He almost blurted out, "She's my wife."
Unfortunately, before Huo Changyuan could speak, Cheng Yujin smiled and said, "I'm the eldest daughter of the Cheng Family, the sister of the bride. It wasn't easy for our family to raise my second sister to this age. There's no way that Marquis Huo can marry her just like that. Marquis Huo, don't you think so? "
Huo Changyuan came to his senses and realized that she was no longer his wife.
They had broken off their engagement.
Huo Changyuan looked at Cheng Yujin without saying a word. The scene in front of him made him feel confused. He clearly felt that Cheng Yujin shouldn't be standing there. She shouldn't even be wearing a plain white dress. She should be wearing a phoenix coronet and a red gown. She should be wearing the grandest makeup and sitting on the wedding bed waiting for him. She shouldn't be standing outside the door in front of so many men and saying with a smile, "I'm the sister of the bride."
Huo Changyuan didn't reply for a long time. Cheng Yujin didn't wait for Huo Changyuan's response. She cursed in her heart, "Damned scumbag." This bastard. Not only did he break off the engagement, but he also ignored her when she spoke to him in front of so many people?
Good, very good. The angrier Cheng Yujin was, the brighter the smile on her face became. She didn't care whether Huo Changyuan responded or not. She said directly, "It's not that easy to marry the daughter of the Cheng Family. As the eldest sister, I have a few other questions to ask. I wonder if Marquis Jingyong will accept them? "
The servants immediately cheered and said, "Of course."
Cheng Yujin stood there, but no one dared to touch her. They all stood behind the room obediently and answered whatever Cheng Yujin asked. Cheng Yujin's questions were tricky and unusual. There were a few times when she was difficult to answer. The men gathered in a group and discussed enthusiastically. One of them bumped Xu Zhixian and said, "Weren't you having a lot of fun just now? Why aren't you talking now?"
Xu Zhixian hurriedly waved his hand. "That won't do. That's my … cousin. I can't expose her."
"Second Miss is also your cousin. Why didn't you say that just now?"
Xu Zhixian glanced at Cheng Yujin and argued with a red face. "How can that be the same? Second Cousin is already Marquis Huo's woman. She's different from Sister Jin."
He didn't notice that he had switched back to calling her Sister Jin.
The men roared with laughter. Lin Qingyuan was pulled over to watch the fun. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but laugh.
His colleagues looked at the room with interest. They were standing outside and couldn't see clearly. Even so, they could still hear what was happening. His colleague patted Lin Qingyuan's sleeve and said, "Lin Qingyuan, these questions can't stump you. Why don't you go and help?"
Lin Qingyuan smiled and waved his hand. Before he could say anything, Cheng Yujin seemed to have heard something and looked over. When she saw Lin Qingyuan, she was surprised for a moment. Then she revealed a smile. In an instant, it was as if spring had returned to the earth. Hundreds of flowers bloomed. "Lin Qingyuan is talented. My daughter is displaying her slight skill in front of an expert. You must be lenient."
Lin Qingyuan originally didn't like this kind of noise. But at this moment, when he saw Cheng Yujin's smile, it was as if the noise around him suddenly disappeared. There was only a girl in a white dress in front of him. She nodded and smiled at him. "You must be lenient."
Lin Qingyuan's heart felt as if it was hit by something. An indescribable throbbing suddenly flashed through his heart.
