Cultivation Quick Transmigration: The Believer Girl is Lacking Money and Morals
Chapter 72 Marriage Swap
"Our master is truly capable, and Qiongqiong is a promising young woman." Although Li Shi spoke modestly, she couldn't hide the pride in her eyes.
"I'll just exchange a few more words with Qiongqiong. Tea and refreshments have been prepared in the front hall. Ladies, please wait for me for a while."
Everyone knew what Madam Li wanted to say, so they smiled kindly and left together.
After all the ladies had left, Madam Li closed the door from the inside. Only then did Liu Chenchen peek out and reach the window.
The windows here are all made of paper; if you get close enough, you can hear people talking inside.
Liu Qiongqiong sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her exquisite reflection in the bronze mirror.
She was wearing a green-trimmed wedding gown with auspicious patterns embroidered in gold thread and adorned with pearls on the hem. This was a wedding gown sent from the palace and made especially for the Crown Prince's wife.
The phoenix crown on her head was exquisite; the whole outfit must have been worth at least a hundred gold pieces.
"Qiongqiong," Madam Li said, walking up behind her daughter. "Qiongqiong, from today onwards you are a member of the Prince Xian's Mansion. The mansion has many rules and is not as free as home, so you must be careful in everything you do."
"I know, daughter." Liu Qiongqiong's voice was the gentle and refined one befitting a lady from a respectable family.
Madam Li sighed with concern: "I don't know what the young master's temperament will be like after marriage, but your mother-in-law is a shrewd one, so you have to be careful in dealing with her."
She then took out a brocade pouch from her bosom and stuffed it into her daughter's hand: "This is my private savings, not part of your dowry. Keep it safe. Inside are also the indentures of your four maids. Keep those safe too."
"Thank you, Mother."
"Alright," Madam Li picked up the red veil placed to the side and gently unfurled it. "The time is almost here, the young master will be arriving soon. Remember your mother's words: establish yourself firmly in the Marquis's mansion and give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible; that will be your greatest support."
As she spoke, Madam Li personally placed the veil over her daughter's head.
The veil was made of the finest brocade, embroidered with twin lotus flowers in gold thread, with tassels hanging from the four corners, and each bead was extremely valuable.
The veil fell, obscuring Liu Qiongqiong's vision.
After giving a few more instructions, Madam Li turned and left the room, calling out, "Be quick! When you hear the wedding procession arriving, open the door immediately. Don't keep the young master waiting."
"Yes."
Liu Chenchen's mind raced. She saw Li Shi walk out of the courtyard and head towards the front hall. The two maids closed the door.
Only three maids remained in the room: Xia Zhi, Chun Ya, and Liu Qiongqiong.
She made a quick decision and climbed into the house through the window.
As soon as the two maids turned around upon hearing the commotion, Liu Chenchen threw two lotus seeds at them.
"Ugh..." The two only managed to let out a muffled groan before collapsing limply.
Hearing the commotion, Liu Qiongqiong was about to lift her veil when Liu Chenchen lunged forward and struck her on the back of the neck with the third lotus seed.
Liu Qiongqiong's body stiffened, and without even uttering a sound, she fell backward.
Liu Chenchen quickly helped her up and gently laid her down on the bed.
"I'm sorry, but everyone looks out for themselves." Liu Chenchen said, but her hands didn't slow down at all.
She quickly bolted the door to make sure no one would suddenly break in.
Then he turned around and began to take off Liu Qiongqiong's wedding dress.
This wedding dress, with its many sons and grandsons, was incredibly elaborate, consisting of seven or eight layers. Liu Chenchen was drenched in sweat as she removed it.
"This isn't a wedding dress, it's practically armor."
Time was of the essence. He took off his clothes and quickly threw them into his spatial storage, then threw the silver notes and the maid's indenture into his spatial storage as well. He then helped the other woman change into his own bright red wedding dress.
Next came the jewelry. I took it all off and threw it into my spatial storage, then casually stuck my earrings, bracelets, and hair ornaments into it.
Finally, I bent down to pick the person up, but I couldn't lift them at all.
Since there was no space available, they could only throw the blanket out the window, then put Liu Qiongqiong on the blanket, and then climb out themselves.
They struggled to carry her, swaying and staggering, towards her room. Luckily, it was a messy day, and no one paid any attention to her.
Liu Chenchen deliberately chose secluded paths, bypassed several corridors, and finally returned to her own room.
I drank several cups of space water on the way.
This is exhausting.
Outside the side room, two old women were still chatting.
"You know, the Second Miss's fate is really..." an old woman said, shaking her head.
"Shh, keep your voice down!" another old woman whispered. "She's the master, after all. It's not our place to gossip."
"What kind of mistress is she? Just a concubine's daughter. Look at her dowry, it's so shabby I can't even bear to look at it. Madam is really heartless, she's still Master's close friend..."
"What do you know? The eldest young lady has married into the Prince Xian's household. What can the master do to the madam if he finds out?"
The two old women chattered on and on, completely unaware that the person inside had gone out and then returned.
Inside the room, Cui'er was still unconscious in the corner, in the same position as when she left.
Liu Chenchen helped Liu Qiongqiong to the bedside, arranging her in the same sitting position as before, with her head slightly lowered and her hands folded on her knees, appearing unconscious.
Afraid that she would wake up too quickly, I patted her neck again.
Then, she walked over to Cui'er and pressed her hand on the back of her neck.
This method will help the maid wake up sooner.
Having done all this, Liu Chenchen didn't dare to delay and immediately returned to the main courtyard by the same route.
When she returned to Liu Qiongqiong's boudoir, the two maids were still unconscious on the floor.
Quickly put Liu Qiongqiong's clothes on one by one. Fortunately, she put them into her space in the order she took them off, otherwise this step alone would have been the end of her.
Then put on all the jewelry, and the only thing left was the phoenix crown on her head.
He conjured up a full-length mirror, but after fiddling with it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. Then he heard a commotion outside and realized he didn't have time.
Insert a few long tassels directly into your hair, throw the phoenix crown into the space, and open the door latch.
Simply pull the two maids aside, give them a little slap, and they'll wake up immediately.
Only then did she quickly walk to the bedside, sit down, cover her head with the veil again, adjust her breathing, and make herself look dignified and composed.
As soon as I sat down, a commotion broke out outside.
"The wedding procession has arrived! The young master is at the door!"
"Quickly, go and fetch the young lady!"
The footsteps approached from afar and stopped outside the door.
"Young Miss, the auspicious time has arrived, it's time to get into the sedan chair!" came the cheerful voice of the matchmaker.
Liu Chenchen took a deep breath and replied in the same gentle and calm tone as Liu Qiongqiong, "I understand, come in."
The door was pushed open, and a group of people rushed in. Leading the group was the wedding attendant, followed by two matrons and several maids.
Nobody cared why the maid wasn't there to serve them; in the midst of the chaos, nobody cared.
Liu Chenchen stood up and, with the help of the maid who had come in, walked out of the room.
Chunmei and Qiushuang just woke up at this moment. They sat up groggily, rubbing their sore necks, looking completely bewildered.
Seeing that the young lady had left, he hurriedly got up and followed her to get the lantern.
