Cultivation Quick Transmigration: The Believer Girl is Lacking Money and Morals

Since Liu Qiongqiong has already decided to acknowledge the Xu family, she naturally has to do what needs to be done.

She followed Xu Jingming to the main room to serve tea to her parents-in-law.

Xu Shaozhi is in his fifties and looks like an old scholar with a refined and scholarly demeanor.

Although the family fortunes have declined, they have not become decadent.

Wang was just an ordinary woman with a kind face.

Upon entering the main room, Liu Qiongqiong did not immediately offer tea, but instead performed a very proper curtsy.

"Daughter-in-law Liu greets Father and Mother."

Xu Jingming bowed respectfully to the side, saying, "Father, Mother, your son has brought... brought your wife to serve tea."

He was still figuring out how to tell his parents about the bride being replaced.

Liu Qiongqiong did not accept the tea offered by Xu Jingming's sister, Xu Fenghua. Instead, she bowed gracefully again and explained, "Father and Mother, please forgive me, but before offering the tea, there is something I must say, and I dare not conceal it in the slightest."

Xu's father had no children born out of wedlock, but he had a concubine who was currently busy in the kitchen.

As for concubines, they were sold off when the family fell into decline.

Seeing her solemn expression, Xu Shaozhi raised his hand and said, "Speak freely."

Wang's smile faded, and she frowned as she looked at her.

Liu Qiongqiong took a deep breath and slowly said, "My daughter-in-law's name is Liu Qiongqiong. She is the eldest daughter of Liu Wenyuan, the Minister of Rites. Yesterday... yesterday, the family held a wedding ceremony. My younger sister, Liu Chenchen, was supposed to marry into the Xu family, but due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, my daughter-in-law got into the wrong bridal sedan chair and mistakenly entered the Xu family, where she and Xu Jingming... completed their wedding ceremony."

"What?!" Madam Wang was so shocked she almost jumped up from her chair, her eyes wide with surprise. "You...you're the legitimate daughter of the Minister's household? Not that illegitimate second daughter?"

Xu Shaozhi was also greatly shocked. He looked at Liu Qiongqiong, then at his son, his brows furrowing slightly. He said in a deep voice, "Is this true? This is no small matter. Miss Liu, do you know what this means?"

Liu Qiongqiong nodded, her expression calm yet tinged with helplessness: "I know this is absurd, and I know it may cause trouble for the Xu family. But since we have already married and entered the bridal chamber by a twist of fate... my reputation is ruined, and what's done is done."

"I am speaking frankly today for two reasons: first, I cannot deceive my elders; second,..."

She knelt again, her tone sincere, "Now that I have married into the Xu family, I am a Xu family woman. Although the reason for my entry into the family is somewhat strange, I will follow my husband and will naturally abide by the duties of a wife, be filial to my parents-in-law, assist my husband, and do my best to manage the household without any disloyalty. The mistake yesterday was due to the negligence of my Liu family. I hope that Father and Mother will forgive me and not blame me for this."

To be honest, she truly lives up to her reputation as a lady from a prominent family; the way she writes is surprisingly fitting for this family of scholars.

If Liu Chenchen, who transmigrated from the modern era, were to be expected to behave so properly, well...

I'm afraid they'll be completely disliked within a few days.

Her words were so sincere; she acknowledged her status as the legitimate daughter without making her in-laws feel superior.

Wang had already grasped the meaning of those words and come to her senses.

This is hardly a mistake; it's like a windfall falling from the sky and landing right on your head!

This woman is the legitimate daughter of the Minister's family, a true lady of high birth, well-educated and reasonable, and comes with a generous dowry.

Exchange a concubine's daughter for a legitimate daughter? Good, good! Who needs a concubine's daughter if there's a legitimate daughter?

Her expression softened instantly: "Oh dear, child, what are you saying! How can this be blamed on your family, or on you? It's all... it's all a blessing from heaven!"

He stood up, pulled her close, took Liu Qiongqiong's hand, and looked her up and down, becoming more and more satisfied. "I knew it! I could tell from the first glance yesterday that you had an extraordinary air about you. Our Xu family is truly blessed! Forget about being critical or not, Jingming is incredibly fortunate to have married you!"

Xu Shaozhi, after all, was the head of the family and had experienced many ups and downs, so he thought more deeply.

After the initial shock, he quickly weighed the pros and cons.

Marrying the daughter of a high-ranking official was undoubtedly a lifeline for the increasingly weakened Xu family.

This not only means that a generous dowry can alleviate the family's financial pressure, but also that it means reconnecting with Minister Liu. Xu Jingming's future prospects, and even the entire Xu family, may benefit from this.

Thinking of this, Xu Shaozhi felt a surge of excitement, but he forced himself to remain calm, stroked his beard, and spoke gently to Liu Qiongqiong:

"Qiongqiong, since you have been honest with us and are willing to stay, your mother and I have no reason to blame you. From now on, this will be your home. Since you call us parents, we will treat you as our own. We only hope that you and Jingming will live in harmony, work together, and bring honor to your family."

Liu Qiongqiong felt a little relieved, knowing that she had passed this hurdle.

She bowed again: "Thank you for your understanding, Father and Mother. Your daughter-in-law will certainly keep your teachings in mind."

"Good, good!" Madam Wang was overjoyed and urged, "Quickly, quickly serve the tea! This tea makes Mother's heart sweet!"

Liu Qiongqiong then picked up the teacup from the tray in her sister-in-law's hand and first offered it to Xu Shaozhi: "Father, please have some tea."

Xu Shaozhi accepted the teacup with a smile, took a sip, and as he put it down, he took out a red envelope that he had prepared beforehand from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Qiongqiong: "A little something for you, wishing you and your husband a harmonious marriage."

"Thank you, Father." Liu Qiongqiong accepted it.

Then, she picked up another cup of tea and offered it to Madam Wang, saying, "Mother, please have some tea."

Wang received it almost with both hands, smiling broadly, and said repeatedly:

"Okay, okay!" She took a sip, immediately slipped a fine jade bracelet from her wrist, and without a word, slipped it onto Liu Qiongqiong's wrist:

"This bracelet has been with me for many years. Today I'm giving it to you. From now on, we're family!"

"Thank you, Mother," Liu Qiongqiong replied compliantly.

After serving the tea, while Wang was busy preparing breakfast, Liu Qiongqiong whispered to Xu Jingming beside her, "Husband, please guide me in the future."

Xu Jingming looked at her and nodded solemnly: "Yes. My wife... please forgive me as well."

After finishing her breakfast, Liu Qiongqiong stood up and bowed again: "Father, Mother, your daughter-in-law has a request."

"You say it," Xu Shao knew.

Liu Qiongqiong said in a low voice, "This matter is ultimately due to the negligence of the Minister's Mansion. I would like to go back to the mansion to explain the situation to my parents in order to avoid any misunderstandings."

Xu Shaozhi and Wang Shi exchanged a glance and nodded.

"It's time to go back." Xu Shao knew, "This matter is of great importance and needs to be clarified. Jingming, you accompany Qiongqiong back."

"Yes," Xu Jingming replied.

The Xu family didn't have a carriage to take the two of them to the Minister's residence, so Liu Qiongqiong had to go back to her room to change into a decent dress so she could walk back.

He was stunned when he opened Liu Chenchen's dowry chest.
