I bit my lip and remained silent.
Lu Zhenzhen smiled ambiguously at me and said, "Wei Yang, I've opened the door for you, aren't you going to express your gratitude?"
I clenched my fists and slowly knelt down, replying, "Yes."
After coming out of the old lady's room, I asked Lu Zhenzhen, "Miss, knowing that I want to redeem myself, why do you still want me to be a trial marriage maid?"
Lu Zhenzhen replied, "It's what my grandmother arranged; I have no choice."
I said, "Do you know what kind of person that general is?"
"Of course, he's just a rough man."
"You really are short-sighted."
Lu Zhenzhen said, "Hey, how can you speak like that?"
I responded, "The general is definitely not an ordinary person. Marrying him is absolutely better than marrying Lu Ye."
Lu Zhenzhen fell silent.
After a while, she asked, "How do you know all this?"
I replied, "I can read; I've studied."
Lu Zhenzhen said, "Then why didn't you tell me before?"
I answered, "Before, I thought you loved Lu Ye."
Lu Zhenzhen stated firmly, "I do love Lu Ye. I love him very much; I won't marry anyone else."
I said, "Then why are you letting me take you out of the residence? Aren't you jumping into the fire yourself?"
Lu Zhenzhen replied, "What can I do? I don't love the general; I only love Lu Ye."
In truth, I knew Lu Zhenzhen would elope.
I also knew what kind of person Lu Ye was.
Lu Ye was not a good man.
He took Lu Zhenzhen's money and squandered it in brothels.
He played with several girls and even got one of them pregnant.
That girl approached the Prime Minister's Residence and demanded that Lu Zhenzhen provide money to raise the child.
Lu Zhenzhen refused, and the matter became a huge scandal. The Prime Minister felt embarrassed and locked Lu Zhenzhen away.
Lu Ye was also forced to leave the capital.
Lu Zhenzhen eloped. She was deceived out of all her money and lost her purity. Unable to find Lu Ye, she could only return. The Prime Minister was furious. In my previous life, Old Lady did not make me serve as Lu Zhenzhen's trial marriage maid. Therefore, I was shocked to hear this news.
Old Lady said, "What are you looking at?"
"Did you not hear what I said?"
I bit my lip and replied, "Yes."
Old Lady waved her hand, "You can go now."
I exited the courtyard and returned to my room to pack my things. Starting tomorrow, I would have to learn how to serve people under Aunt Liu. I probably wouldn’t have time to sell my embroidery pieces anymore.
In the evening, Azure Peach came over to call me for dinner. I took her to the table and served the dishes. Azure Peach picked up her chopsticks and started eating. After a couple of bites, she asked me, "Why aren't you eating?"
I replied, "I have no appetite."
Azure Peach scoffed, "Now you know how to feel sad?"
I calmly said, "What do I have to be sad about?"
Azure Peach pouted, "Keep pretending if you want."
I looked at her and asked, "Do you want me to be sad?"
Azure Peach fell silent and lowered her head to eat. After finishing dinner, I cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks before washing up and going to bed. Azure Peach slept beside me, staring at me the whole time.
I closed my eyes and tried not to think about anything. Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was the day of Lu Zhenzhen's wedding to the general. For the past few days, I had been following Aunt Liu to learn how to serve men. Azure Peach kept a close watch on me, as if afraid I would run away.
The day before the trial marriage, Lu Zhenzhen found me. She looked at me with a smile and said, "Wei Yang, how have you been lately?" I nodded and replied, "I've been well, thank you for your concern, Miss." Lu Zhenzhen smiled again, "Is that so? Then I can rest easy."
As I looked at the smile on her face, I felt a sense of schadenfreude from her. I was a bit uneasy, sensing that something was about to happen. Sure enough, the next day, Azure Peach brought me before Lu Zhenzhen.
Lu Zhenzhen looked at me and said, "Wei Yang, your brother came looking for you." "He said your parents are ill and urgently need money, so he took the pouch you saved without permission."
I was stunned and instinctively reached for my waist. My pouch was gone! I glared angrily at Azure Peach. She turned her head away guiltily. I knew she must have stolen my pouch!
Taking a deep breath, I bowed slightly to Lu Zhenzhen and said, "Thank you, Miss." "If it weren't for you, my pouch would have been stolen." Lu Zhenzhen smiled with satisfaction and said, "No need to be polite."
"Since the matter is resolved, you should go to the general's residence now." "Yes, Miss."
