Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 1: Sisters' Double Rebirth

state! state! state!
The sound of night watchmen.

Wen Qingwan suddenly opened her eyes and found herself lying on the bed in her boudoir. She was shocked but did not show it.

After being immersed in the harem for many years, she had long learned not to show her emotions.

"Ah~~"

Suddenly, a terrible scream came from outside, piercing the night sky.

Everyone in the Wen residence was alarmed, and almost at the same time, the entire Wen residence was brightly lit.

Wen Qingwan sat up, and the maid on the couch opposite heard the noise and hurriedly said, "Miss, are you woken up?"

"Jinlan, go and see what's happening outside?"

"Miss, do you want some water? Jinque has already gone to see it." The maid Jinlan said softly.

"Ok!"

Then there was the sound of quiet footsteps and the sound of a door opening, and after a while, the door was opened again.

Two maids came in with teapots, accompanied by Jinque's excited voice.

“Miss, Miss, the second young lady didn’t sleep in the middle of the night and suddenly rolled down from the wall.

I don’t know if he became stupid after falling, but he sat on the ground crying and asking what year it was.

She also asked Chuntao to take a mirror to look at her face. After that, she laughed and said that she would not run away from the marriage and wanted to be the queen.

"Escape from marriage? Doesn't the Second Miss like the Crown Prince very much and want to marry him? Why does she want to escape from marriage?" Jinlan asked in a low voice.

"Who knows what's wrong with her? Everyone in the Wen family knows that the Second Miss said she likes the Crown Prince today, and she said she likes the Crown Prince tomorrow..."

Wen Qingwan listened to the conversation between the two maids. She knew that in addition to her, her half-sister Wen Mingzhu was also reborn.

She frowned and asked softly, "Have the master and the two young masters gone?"

“To answer Miss, the master, the mistress, and the two young masters have all gone.

The lady was frightened and cried, fearing that the second young lady had gone insane, so she sent someone to call a doctor.

But the second young lady quickly calmed down, she said no, and then went to the study to talk with the master, and did not allow the lady and the two young masters to follow. "

"It's late at night, Jinque, you go back to your room and sleep. Jinlan should stay on the couch." Wen Qingwan drank half a cup of warm water and whispered to the two maids.

"Miss, how about I go and ask around?" Jinque asked with sparkling eyes.

"No need. If it's about me, we'll know tomorrow. If it's not our business, there's no need to pay attention to it."

"Miss, please have a rest. I'll take my leave now." Jinque hung her head and retreated a little disappointed.

She wanted to go and watch the fun, but since the lady wouldn't allow her, she wouldn't go.

Seeing that the young lady had already lain down in bed, Jinlan extinguished the big candle, leaving a small candle, and then also lay down on the couch.

Wen Qingwan did not fall asleep. She admitted that she was very strong inside, but not so strong that she could remain indifferent even after being reborn.

She lay in the warm quilt, staring at the ceiling of the bed in a daze. Her personal maid Jinlan was sleeping on the couch opposite.

The dim candlelight in the room was not dazzling through the curtain. Instead, it made her feel at ease in this dark night.

She knew Wen Mingzhu very well, and she knew that going to the study to talk with her father was just to help her choose a husband.

He must be the worst and most unbearable one among her many ex-husbands in her previous life.

With her parents' preference for her and her status as the crown prince, Wen Mingzhu could force the other party to propose marriage as long as she wanted.

Wen Qingwan closed her eyes and recalled her past with Wen Mingzhu.

They have the same father but different mothers, born in the same year and month but on different days, Wen Qingwan was born three days earlier. Although Wen Qingwan is the legitimate daughter of the mistress, she has never lived as comfortably as Wen Mingzhu since she was a child.

Not only is she bound by the rules of a wealthy family, but she is also surrounded by music, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long.

Wen Mingzhu is the daughter that Wen's father Bai Yueguang gave birth to after great efforts and hardships.

Bai Yueguang was a beautiful woman with a tragic fate. She passed away a month after giving birth to a daughter. However, Wen's father did not hate his daughter.

He also transferred all his love for Bai Yueguang to their precious daughter.

She was named Mingzhu and was spoiled like a treasure since she was a child. Not only was she named after her stepmother, she also did not have to learn any rules.

Mrs. Wen only has her husband in her eyes and heart. She doesn't know if it's because she loves Wen Mingzhu so much or if Wen Mingzhu has some magical power, but Mrs. Wen treats her better than her own daughter.

In the eyes of Wen's father and mother, whatever Wen Mingzhu does is right, and being unruly is lively and cute.

The two biological brothers of the Wen family also treated Wen Mingzhu like a treasure and even declared that they only recognized her as their sister.

As the eldest daughter, Wen Qingwan must be well-educated, gentle and dignified, and must also excel in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

If she slacked off for the slightest bit, she would be spanked on the palm by her own mother, beaten on the buttocks by her father, and despised by her two brothers.

She had calluses on her hands from practicing calligraphy and playing the piano. She couldn't speak loudly or show her teeth when she laughed.

Wen Mingzhu didn't need to care about those things. She had a lot of fun climbing trees to dig out bird nests and fishing in the river with her two brothers.

She can chatter while eating and show her eight teeth when she smiles. The Wen father and son even say she is cute.

Wen Qingwan was so envious that she wanted to cry.

What made her even more heartbroken was that Wen Qingwan took the blame and was punished for Wen Mingzhu's mistake.

Even though everyone saw that it was Wen Mingzhu who did it, every time the matter was brought to the master and the mistress, it became Wen Qingwan's fault.

Even the maids around Wen Qingwan pointed at her in unison.

When she was seven years old, Wen Qingwan also tried to learn from Wen Mingzhu and not follow the rules.

But she had been bound by those rules since she was a child. She tried to climb a tree for a long time but couldn't climb up.

By the time she finally climbed up the tree with great effort, her two brothers, their friends and Wen Mingzhu had already gone down to the river to fish.

She was left alone on the tree, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. When she returned home, she was beaten by her parents.

Having been beaten so many times and in so much pain, Wen Qingwan naturally gave up on imitating others and devoted herself to learning how to be a lady from a noble family.

All the people and things she likes will eventually become Wen Mingzhu's. Wen Qingwan has been forced to have no desires since she was a child.

When she was a child, she had one or two loyal maids around her.

Any maid who refused to betray her would be punished into submission, and would eventually be frightened into turning against her and joining Wen Mingzhu.

There was a little girl whom she picked up from a beggar's den. No matter how she was punished, she refused to betray her and was finally sold out by her mother!
Wen Qingwan was seven years old that year. She was punished every day and lived in fear. How could she have the ability to protect the maid around her?

Wen Qingwan didn't want to live after being injured several times, but she was lucky enough to survive.

As the saying goes, a person who has no desires is strong. Since she was eleven years old, no one has been able to hurt her.

What made her stronger were Jinlan and Jinque who were by her side.

These two maids were rescued by Wen Qingwan when she was eight years old on her way to the temple to pray for her grandmother.

They were only ten years old that year. They said they were half-sisters with the same father but different mothers, but they had a very good relationship.

Jinlan and Jinque not only know martial arts but are also literate. From then on, Wen Qingwan also secretly learns martial arts from them.

Since then, her life has had a clear goal, and the three of them depend on each other, and none of them likes Wen Mingzhu.
