Chapter 261 The Young Master is Willing to Be a Mistress (6)
Peach Blossom Lane in the West of the City
Looking at the jade bottle that suddenly appeared in her palm, Liu Yuwan felt a surge of emotions. Had she really encountered a deity?
After causing a scene at the wedding banquet that day, Qin Sheng sent her back to this small courtyard, and she has not seen Qin Sheng since then.
She wanted to find out more information, but she couldn't even get into the Marquis's mansion. She could only wait anxiously in the courtyard.
Last night, she dreamt that she had entered a paradise. Just as she was wondering about it, a young man with a youthful face and white hair suddenly descended from the sky.
The young man, dressed in white, sat on the back of a white crane that was twice his height. He didn't speak, but his voice reached Liu Yuwan's ears.
Although Liu Yuwan was quite shrewd, she was still just a young woman in her late twenties. Suddenly encountering a legendary immortal, she was at a loss for what to do, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
But the next second, the words of the deity before her transported her from hell to heaven.
"You and I were destined to meet in a past life, and I have come to find you in this life. What is your wish?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuwan froze on the spot. Had she misheard? Was she destined to be with a deity, and that the deity would help her fulfill her wish?
Suppressing her overwhelming joy, Liu Yuwan carefully spoke: "My family has suddenly encountered a great calamity, and I have fallen into this state, all alone and helpless."
After saying this, her eyes filled with tears, and she sobbed twice before continuing, "I only want a good man, someone to rely on, so that I won't be lonely for the rest of my life."
Upon hearing this, the immortal nodded slightly, calculated with his fingers, and slowly said, "You were destined for great wealth and honor, and you were able to marry a good man and have a loving marriage. Unfortunately, a person will appear in your life to block your path, prevent your marriage, ruin your wealth, and cause you to die without a burial place."
Liu Yuwan was stunned after hearing this, her hands clenched tightly, her mind completely thrown into disarray by the divine revelation.
After the Liu family was destroyed, she knew that the only person she could rely on was Qin Sheng, and the only person who could allow her to continue living the life she once had was Qin Sheng.
So she held Qin Sheng tightly in her grasp as her lifeline, and also firmly captured Qin Sheng's heart. She thought everything would be foolproof, but Su Xuruo suddenly threw her into disarray.
Seeing her fluctuating expression, the deity continued, "It's alright. Since I have promised to fulfill your wish, I will not let you fall into that place again."
Pulling herself back to reality, Liu Yuwan looked at the jade bottle in her palm, which seemed to emit a faint glow in the darkness. The words that the immortal had told her about the use of the pills still seemed to echo in her ears.
"This pill is called the 'False Breath Pill.' When a woman takes it, it can delay her menstrual period and create the illusion of pregnancy. However, at most three months later, signs of miscarriage will appear. It will not cause much harm to the mother. This should be able to solve your urgent problem."
Liu Yuwan held the bottle to her chest. Sure enough, even the heavens were on her side; no one else could get their hands on what she had her eye on.
Hearing 021's words, Jiang Rou was satisfied. This was fair. One was blessed with good fortune, and the other had a golden finger. Neither of them was inferior to the other.
Looking at 021's intimidating outfit, Jiang Rou thought that 021 was quite good at cosplay.
This wonderful gift has been prepared for Su Xuruo; hopefully, she will be able to accept it.
Su Xuruo, who was being nagged by Jiang Rou, was extremely depressed at this moment.
Before she married, she and Liu Yuwan were praised as the two beauties of the capital. After the Liu family fell from power, she became the number one noble lady in the capital and was fawned over wherever she went.
She had long harbored feelings for Qin Sheng, and when she learned that the Qin family had come to propose marriage, she readily agreed. She thought they would live happily ever after, but it turned out that it was all just her fantasy.
On her wedding day, she became the laughingstock of the entire capital. Her mistress caused a scene at the wedding, and her husband abandoned her for another woman.
Her long-awaited wedding night turned into a sleepless night for her alone, while her husband was probably enjoying a romantic relationship with another woman.
She was angry and furious, but she had nowhere to vent her anger. She wanted to find that woman to make things difficult for her, but she found that the woman was being protected tightly by her beloved husband.
Before she could come up with a solution, a series of troubles came her way. Her mother-in-law, who had been kind and gentle to her before the marriage, completely changed after the wedding and would call her in every day to set rules.
But the burden of filial piety weighed heavily on her head, something she could neither refuse nor refuse. She was tormented by it every day, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted, unable to muster any other thoughts.
Li Mama, Su Xuruo's wet nurse, saw her looking exhausted as soon as she entered the door and quietly kept the news that Qin Sheng had gone to the courtyard a secret.
He walked over to Su Xuruo's side, dismissed the maid who was massaging her legs, and personally took over to relax and relieve Su Xuruo's fatigue.
“Madam has been exhausted these days. The Qin family is really going too far. They don’t respect the Su family at all. Madam must ask Master to stand up for us.”
Su Xuruo sneered upon hearing this: "Since my mother passed away, my father no longer has any regard for me as his daughter. His heart has long been devoted to my good stepmother and her precious son."
Su Xuruo's stepmother was only five years older than her. She was beautiful and was greatly loved by Su's father. She also gave birth to a son for the Su family. With the son he longed for, Su's father would never remember Su Xuruo, his daughter who had married out.
Upon hearing this, Granny Li also looked distressed; her young mistress was having a very hard time.
The room fell silent again. After a while, Su Xuruo spoke up: "I've forgotten someone."
Upon hearing this, Granny Li was somewhat puzzled. She then saw Su Xuruo's red lips curl into a slight smile, her body trembling with laughter: "My mother-in-law has more than one daughter-in-law. Don't I have a younger sister-in-law who has been widowed for many years?"
Li Mama, understanding the implied meaning, smiled and said, "Madam is the most filial. The sisters-in-law live in harmony and are all dutiful to their parents-in-law. There is nothing better in the world."
Su Xuruo reached out and adjusted her hairpin. Hearing this, she nodded in satisfaction: "As the eldest sister-in-law, it is my duty. I was careless the other day. Please go and deliver some gifts to my second sister-in-law and invite her to pay her respects to my mother-in-law tomorrow."

Jiang Rou looked at the items on the table and instructed Cui Tao, "Exchange all the items for silver, cut some cloth for us to make new clothes, and you can decide what to do with the remaining silver."
Cui Tao's anger vanished completely after hearing Jiang Rou's words. What did she hear? What did her mistress want her to do?
Seeing her blank expression, Jiang Rou continued gently, "I know she has ill intentions, but we can't turn down money. These things can be exchanged for a lot of silver. As for their other plans, I'm not stupid. Why would I let them control me?"
Cui Tao had always trusted Jiang Rou completely, so upon hearing her words, she no longer hesitated and quietly left the mansion with her belongings.
It's better to exchange it for silver. What if the new lady changes her mind and wants the things back?
After she left, Jiang Rou's expression turned cold. Su Xuruo wanted to use her as a shield, but it seemed she hadn't even asked for her opinion.
The next day, Su Xuruo did not see Jiang Rou, but instead encountered Cui Tao crying and shouting, begging Su Xuruo to let her young lady go.
Cui Tao's wailing was deafening, and within half a quarter of an hour, everyone in the mansion, from the old lady Xu to the servants cleaning the various courtyards, knew about it.
The newly arrived eldest young mistress sent her trusted nanny to Tingyu Pavilion. I don't know what she said to that invisible second young mistress, but the second young mistress is still in a high fever and unconscious, and she probably won't survive.
