The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 2 Makeup reminder
Yu Churong laid out everything before she died, and each one of them was enough to kill Lu Wan.

Now that she is back, she will naturally return the favor and return the favor one by one!

The second eldest brother of the Xie family was eager to marry her because Xie Zhiyan, the eldest son and pillar of Jin Wenhou, accidentally fell off a cliff and died three months ago while being ordered to investigate the case. The second and third eldest brothers were busy competing for the position of the eldest son.

The second wife urgently needs to borrow the power of her maternal grandfather's family, and she also needs her dowry money to be used up and down.

Nowadays, except for the prince, the descendants of Jin Wenhou's house are incompetent. Without the prince, there will be no power in the court and no money in the house.

And her maternal ancestral family is the Jiyang Qin family, a noble family that has been running for more than 300 years.

When my grandfather was an official, he went to inspect the school as Grand Master, worshiped as the privy envoy, and was granted the title of Duke of Qin.

Unfortunately, due to long-term battles, he died young due to the pain all over his body. After his death, he was given to the Grand Master, posthumously named the first-rank Founding Duke, and entitled to enjoy the Royal Ancestral Temple.

My maternal grandmother was the founding female general of the Dali Dynasty. She performed great military exploits with the Duke of Qin. She was awarded a first-class imperial title by the late emperor and was respectfully called the Taijun of Qin.

Lu Wan has a noble status, unparalleled beauty, and is a star in the sky.

In the imperial capital of Bianjing, there were countless noble men vying to bow to her.

But she was blind.

Xie Huaiyu was so bold that two days before the wedding, when the Lu family went to Xie's house to make the bed ceremony, the two of them dared to behave in an ambiguous manner. Wasn't he afraid of offending the Lu family, angering her and losing the power of her maternal grandfather's family?
Or, what did Yu Churong do...

Regardless of whether she planned it or not, since Xie Huaiyu dares to do it, she can break off the engagement!
From the bronze mirror, Lu Wan saw Bi Chan holding a luxurious red butterfly dress wearing a floral skirt, and said coldly, "I don't want this, just change it to something everyday."

Bichan was stunned, "Huh? This is a new dress specially made for the makeup ceremony!"

Zhiruo saw the girl's face was cold and her eyes were filled with anger, and she thought she was angry because she thanked the second young master for saving his cousin first when she fell into the water.

Zhiruo winked at Bichan and said, "Change to the moon-yellow one. It's elegant yet luxurious."

Following Lu Wan's thoughts, she chose a warm jade white hairpin and inserted it into it.

"The matter of the girl falling into the water has not been revealed yet. Although Second Young Master Xie comes to see the girl every day, he cannot force her to make up without apologizing. There is no sincerity at all."

"He comes every day?" Lu Wan asked.

In her previous life, she had been lying in bed and falling asleep because of her anger. She didn't care about anything else and didn't ask anything else.

Zhiruo nodded, "Yes, I come here every day, and sit in the outer room for two hours each time. It's just that the girl keeps having a fever and falls asleep."

Zhiruo deliberately spoke for Xie Huaiyu because they were getting married the day after tomorrow, and the couple's heartache would affect the girl's future life.

Lu Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Has he gone to see Yu Churong?"

Zhiruo was tying her hairpin. He paused and took a careful look at the girl's face. She didn't seem too angry, but had an expression of contempt.

The cousin went too far, but the old lady handled her lightly without even a punishment. The people in Yuyi Pavilion felt sorry for the eldest girl.

Zhiruo naturally couldn't add fuel to the fire and considered, "On the first day, my cousin knelt down in our Yuyi Pavilion to apologize. Just when the second young master Xie walked in, the cousin fainted... After that, the second young master Xie came. I would ask about it, but I didn’t go see it in person.”

faint?
Could it be that he happened to faint in Xie Huaiyu's arms?
Lu Wan clenched her fists.

It turned out that she missed such an important detail.

Did they start within these two days, or earlier?
Bichan came over holding a moon-yellow brocade skirt, and when she heard these words, she sneered.

"She fainted in the arms of Second Young Master Xie on purpose! When Second Young Master Xie sent her back, the slave girl was following her. The cousin's eyes were about to fall out when she saw Second Young Master Xie, and she pretended to be delicate and weak. The way he looks is really disgusting. Only Mr. Xie can despise this kind of thing."

"Bichan, she is the master." Zhiruo gave her a wary look.

"Who the hell is she? How can she act like a master just because she is the grand-niece of the old lady? She is just a poor relative who depends on the Marquis Mansion for food. The master of this servant is the legitimate eldest daughter of our Marquis Mansion, why are you afraid of her?" In the previous life? , just as Lu Wan was thinking, she did not take Yu Churong, mother and son seriously.

Bichan came over with a pretty face and said, "This slave only recognizes the girl as my master."

Lu Wan glanced at Bichan.

is it?

"You, you always have a loose mouth, so don't bring our girl into trouble." Zhiruo said seriously.

Bi Chan was not afraid of knowing, and she served Lu Wan to dress. She kept talking and explained clearly what happened in the past two days.

According to custom, before the wedding of a wealthy family, the man will go to the woman's house many times with gifts. Especially the day before the wedding, he will come with heavy gifts, so-called makeup reminder.

The day before the wedding is the last time to make up. Then, the woman can send someone to the groom's house to bring the bride's daily necessities and daily clothes and arrange them, which is called making the bed.

The more a man respects a woman, the more he pays attention to the makeup ceremony.

Both the Lu family and the Xie family were marquises, with equal status, but Lu Wan was different.

Although Lu Wan's mother had died of illness for a year, the Duke of Qin, Mrs. Qin, was still there, and the majesty of the Duke's mansion was still there. Lu Wan's dignity naturally surpassed that of the legitimate son of the second wife of the Xie family.

Of course, the Xie family had to make all the etiquette on their faces to show to others, so they did the makeup for six days in a row, which meant that everything went smoothly.

The Xie Mansion of Marquis Wen of Jin and the Lu Mansion of Wu'an Marquis have both declined. The Lu Mansion is interested in Xie Mansion, who is a relative of the imperial concubine, and the Xie Mansion is interested in the Duke of Qin's Mansion behind Lu Wan and her dowry.

Moreover, the two families are very concerned about face, and they want to make their faces look fat.

Just like, Mrs. Lu concealed her aunt's mother's intention to welcome her aunt into the house for the sake of her eldest male grandson. However, her aunt died of illness and Mrs. Lu did not let her aunt to straighten her up.

Instead, as soon as she got married, her grandmother made the decision to adopt the son of a foreign wife into her late mother's name, and he became the legitimate son of the eldest son of the Hou Mansion.

Later, the humble son of an outsider became the prince of Wu'an Hou!
Lu Wan felt cold all over when she thought about what her grandmother had done and her father's unkindness.

Five days ago, Xie Huaiyu came to the house with gifts. Lu Wan and him were talking when Yu Churong burst in with a smile and said that the koi in the lake were very beautiful and he specially invited his cousin and Mr. Xie to come and enjoy them together.

It was windy and extremely cold that day.

Xie Huaiyu was very interested, and Lu Wan, who was afraid of the cold, didn't want to spoil his interest, so she agreed.

The three of them arrived at the lake. Unexpectedly, Yu Churong slipped. In panic, she pushed Lu Wan, who was standing in front of her, down into the cold lake. Then she grabbed Xie Huaiyu's sleeves and screamed, entangled with him and fell into the lake together. in the lake.

In fact, the lake was not deep. Lu Wan tried hard to stand up, but someone kicked her waist underwater, and she was pushed to the deep water as she was already unstable.

The icy cold lake water came from all directions, and Lu Wan, who couldn't swim, was instantly submerged. Her strong desire to survive made her fight hard, but when she saw two people hugging each other not far away, she was so stunned that she forgot to struggle. , letting the body sink.

Xie Huaiyu held the trembling Yu Churong in his arms and didn't know what to do for a moment. He wanted to put her down and save Lu Wan, but Yu Churong was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she hugged his neck tightly with her hands, her petite body clinging to him, and she was crying. Pitiful.

Later, Zhiruo risked his life by jumping into the ice lake and fished Lu Wan out of the water.

Only then did Xie Huaiyu come to his senses, put down Yu Churong and ran over to hug Lu Wan. Bi Chan, who was rushed over, wrapped Lu Wan in her big cloak first.

Lu Wan, who had been afraid of cold since childhood, was frozen and burned for three days and nights, leaving her unconscious.

It turned out that Xie Huaiyu dared to get entangled with Yu Churong during the days when she was discussing marriage.

She didn't ask about her past life, and probably Bichan and the others didn't dare to tell.
