Chapter 1 How could you peek at such a vulgar thing!
[Brain storage location? ( ′???` ) ]
"She's awake! Miss is awake!"
As soon as Zhai Rongyu opened her eyes, she was met with the anxious face of a maid.
"who are you?"
She pressed her temples, her head throbbing with pain. With her eyes half-closed, she found herself lying on an antique-style bed.
what happened?
Wasn't she struck by lightning? How come she's here?
On the day the Xuanmen sect held a concentrated training session, she secretly went to the mountaintop to read a novel, thinking no one would notice. However, a bolt of purple lightning struck her, leaving her charred and burnt!
This is just incredibly unlucky!
"Miss, it's me, Shuang'er... Waaah... Don't you recognize me?" Shuang'er pouted and immediately burst into tears.
Shuang'er? That name sounds familiar.
Zhai Rong frowned.
"Now that you're awake, Miss, stop pretending to have amnesia. You're not tired of this one act after another, but we're all tired of watching it."
Zhai Rongyu then noticed that there were other people in the room. She turned around and was startled!
Good heavens, a whole bunch of them are kneeling on the ground!
"You did not advise the Second Miss against her secret rendezvous; you did not stop her from running into the pillar. In my opinion, all the servants of Chenxingzhai should be punished!"
The speaker was a standing woman in her thirties, dressed elegantly and still charming, who was looking at her with a mocking expression.
Standing next to her was an elderly nanny.
A man was sitting at a table not far away, his back to her, so she couldn't see his face.
"Third Aunt, our young lady has hit her head! It's understandable that she might not recognize people for a moment."
Shuang'er felt a little wronged.
These people have driven the young lady to the point of banging her head against a pillar, and they still won't give up?
She mustered her courage and shouted, "Miss, isn't proving your innocence by dying for your cause enough?!"
"To die to prove one's innocence? Ha, you're not dead yet, are you?"
The third concubine glanced at Zhai Rongyu, secretly wishing she could kill her.
Granny Liu immediately chimed in, "In my opinion, Miss's behavior doesn't seem like she's trying to prove her innocence with her death, but rather like she's committing suicide out of shame and indignation."
"You! You're spouting nonsense!" Shuang'er couldn't explain herself and looked at Zhai Rongyu with a wronged expression, her eyes glistening with tears.
This servant is useless...
Unable to protect the young lady...
Zhai Rongyu was slightly taken aback. Third Aunt, Shuang'er, Miss, willing to die to prove their innocence…
This looks so much like the novel she secretly read!
Could it be that she transmigrated into a book?
She tentatively asked, "Excuse me, is this... the Minister's residence?"
The third concubine looked disgusted and raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth.
She's just a country bumpkin, all she knows are dirty tricks.
Pretending to have amnesia?
Still dreaming of becoming a phoenix on a branch?
How could she be worthy of it!
She sneered and said, "Miss, did you really hit your head? What, you just returned to your ancestral home, and now you don't want to anymore?"
Oh no, oh no... I've really transmigrated into a book!
Zhai Rongyu held her head and sighed.
Waaah, Master, I was wrong...
Disciple should not disobey Master's orders and waste time on leisure...
Disciples of the Xuanmen should be pure of heart and free from desires, and devoutly pursue the Dao. How could they possibly peek at such mundane things?
They've truly been punished by heaven!
It's all my senior's fault!
If he hadn't mentioned that there was a woman in the novel with the same name as her, she wouldn't have become so curious and ended up reading it so intently!
Wait a minute... Judging from this situation, it seems she has transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a book—the daughter of a high-ranking official who shares the same name as her!
Her eyes widened. If she remembered correctly, this supporting female character was in a terrible state!
It was a tragic ancient Chinese novel about a real and a fake heiress. The protagonist, Zhai Rongyu, was the real heiress who had just been recognized by her family. Due to her resentment, she constantly opposed the fake heiress, Zhai Muling, who was the female lead. As a result, she made countless enemies and met a miserable end.
Of course, this is not the worst.
The worst part is that her whole family are villains!
None of them had a good ending!
Even the female lead was imprisoned and tortured by the male lead in the later stages of the story, and after suffering endless torment, she committed suicide.
A true tragic ending is when all the cannon fodder protagonists are wiped out. Undeterred by insults, bravely courting death! Author, you know how to write a book.
Her current situation is truly worrying!
Today must have been shortly after she returned to the Minister's mansion. She was framed by the Third Concubine for having an affair with the coachman, which ruined her reputation. From then on, she never recovered and embarked on the path of becoming a vicious female supporting character.
The man sitting at the tea table must be her father—Minister Zhai.
Minister Zhai slammed his teacup down on the table and said sternly, "Shut up, all of you!"
He turned around, looking at his newly reunited daughter with a complicated expression. Her hair was disheveled, blood seeped from her forehead, and she lay slumped on the bed, looking quite pitiful.
Minister Zhai sighed.
Her mother died early, and she had been wandering for so many years. No matter what, she was still her own child...
But what happened today...
Zhai Rong sat up and carefully examined her "father".
Holy crap! My dad is so handsome!
[The villains are definitely the coolest!]
My dad truly lives up to his reputation as a super villain!
Minister Zhai: !! What's that sound?!
[With a dad this handsome, and his third aunt still cheating on him, I'm almost moved to tears by his good looks!]
[Third Aunt, oh Third Aunt, you're ignoring such a handsome man like my father, and instead you're getting all lovey-dovey with that stable boy! You're really like Wu Zetian in her widowhood—you've lost your reason!]
Today they even falsely accused me of having an affair with that coachman. I think it's pretty stupid of them to have their eye on you.
My poor dad, he never even knew he was being cheated on! Sigh...
Minister Zhai: !! !! It sounds like Rong'er is speaking.
But her mouth didn't move. Could it be Rong'er's inner thoughts?
But what did Rong'er say? That Yuexin had an affair with that coachman?!
What she said... is it true?
He looked at his third aunt in shock, but she remained calm, as if she hadn't heard anything. He then looked around at the people around him, but none of them reacted.
Is it possible that only he can hear it?
Minister Zhai looked at the Third Concubine with suspicion and asked, "Yuexin, do you know that coachman?"
The third concubine's pupils contracted slightly, and her fingers unconsciously tightened around the handkerchief.
What did the master mean by asking that question?
Could it be... that you suspect something?
No, if there were evidence, the master would have punished her immediately. Why would he ask her so politely?
We absolutely must not lose our composure!
She lowered her eyes, forcing herself to remain calm, and said, "What are you saying, sir? I usually stay at home and never leave my house. How could I possibly know any other men?"
[Dad! She's lying to you!]
She and the coachman were childhood sweethearts!
They're from the same village!
[Under the coachman's pillow, there was still a sachet she had embroidered herself!]
Zhai Shangshu's expression darkened, and he lowered his voice to give some instructions to the servant beside him.
If what Rong'er said is true, then...
He glanced at his third concubine, his gaze filled with chilling coldness.
Third Aunt's heart pounded. What's wrong with Master?
No, now is not the time to worry about that. She has more important things to do—she must first teach this wild country bumpkin a lesson! It's infuriating that she's only been back in the manor for a few days, yet she's already using her status as the legitimate daughter to suppress her at every turn!
I absolutely have to get my revenge today!
Let's see if she'll still be able to hold her tail so high in the future!
She composed herself and said, "Master, Miss has only been back for a short time and has already caused such a scene. For the legitimate daughter of the Minister's mansion to lower herself to share a room with that coachman, if this gets out, I'm afraid the entire Minister's mansion will lose face."
She asked cautiously, "Sir, what do you think we should do?"
Minister Zhai glanced at her and said indifferently, "If someone has really done something that damages the reputation of the Minister's Mansion, then naturally we cannot let them go."
He took a sip of tea, paused, and said, "I've already sent someone to collect the evidence."
"Rong'er, do you have anything else to say?"
