Outside the door, there was a row of maids. They all had pale faces and stood there expressionlessly, like puppets.
Before leaving, Cui Mingyan turned around and gave Bai Chen a look of resentment.
The anger in my heart couldn't be relieved.
In his heart, he had already taken a hard look at Bai Chen and planned to punish him for all the crimes at another day.
He felt that the shadow area of his injury was very large, and he had to find a corner to heal the wound.
Only after he walked away did the maids finally turn from puppets back into living people.
"Young Madam, are you, are you okay?" a maid asked worriedly. This maid was from the Cui family, and Bai Chen didn't know her name.
"It's okay." Bai Chen patted the maid's shoulder. It was really not easy to be a maid in the Cui family. You never know when you will be beaten to death by the scumbag Cui.
It's so pitiful.
"You guys, you made such a loud noise just now, yes, you were..."
Lan Hua, the dowry maid, asked with a red face, tears in her eyes, as she looked at Cui Mingyan's disappearing back.
It seems that the situation has not been figured out yet.
They had no idea that their eldest daughter was marrying a murderer.
It seemed as if she was attracted by his appearance.
Before getting married, Bai Chen bought four maids. Their names were Lanxiang, Lanhua, Lanxin and Lanfang.
The names of the maids were all changed by Bai Chen.
Easy to remember, easy to write, and requires few gestures.
They came to the Cui family as dowry, so he had a few people at his disposal.
It’s more reassuring than using the maids from the Cui family and the Zhang family.
When at Zhang's house, Bai Chen observed them for a few days. These young girls were quite efficient in their work.
But they had no idea what the person their master was about to marry looked like.
All I know is that she is going to marry into the Cui family and that her son-in-law has a limp.
They knew nothing about his character.
So, when they heard the loud noise in the house just now, they thought in that direction.
"Don't ask. You are not afraid of being embarrassed." Lan Xin nudged Lan Hua with her elbow and said, "Young Miss, I will prepare hot water for you to take a bath and change clothes."
"Go." Bai Chen patted Lan Xin's little hand, what a considerate child.
I feel like my whole body is greasy and sweaty.
After bathing, Bai Chen practiced quietly for the whole night and woke up the next morning feeling refreshed.
Maybe it was because he had tortured Cui Mingyan a little last night, Bai Chen felt that the resentment that was blocked in his body had eased a lot.
Immediately afterwards, a maid came in and helped Bai Chen wash and dress.
Lanhua combed Bai Chen's hair while frowning as she said, "Miss, the young master didn't even stay here for your wedding night.
Those people in the Cui family will definitely gossip about this.
They will say that you can’t win the heart of the young master, and your life will be difficult.”
The maids that Bai Chen bought had all served bureaucratic families. Later, because the officials committed crimes, they were sold into slavery again.
Therefore, they are better than the girls in the Zhang family in dealing with human relationships.
They are well-trained and do things in an orderly manner.
In order to cope with the environment of the Cui family, Bai Chen deliberately selected maids who had seen some of the world, so that they would become his right-hand men after he arrived at the Cui family.
But Bai Chen had a question mark about this orchid
Or maybe I'm just overthinking it.
Let's observe first.
Bai Chen glanced at Lanhua coldly and said in a warning tone: "Don't talk too much, don't meddle in other people's business. Live your life quietly, only then we can get through this safely, do you understand?"
Lanhua was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her face instantly lost color. "Miss, I just feel sorry for you."
"I don't have anything to be pitiful about. As long as I have food and drink, that's enough."
Bai Chen rolled his eyes at Lanhua and felt sorry for her in his heart.
You can't blame the little girl. In this social environment, if it were an ordinary woman, it would be very tragic for the bride not to win the favor of the groom.
After Bai Chen had packed up, he took two maids and went to the main courtyard to pay his respects to the mistress of the Cui family.
The Cui family’s territory is very large, more than twice the size of Zhangjiabao.
The entire Cui family mansion is dotted with flowers, winding corridors, red railings and green boards, small bridges and flowing water, with fish swimming happily in the water.
What a luxurious and beautiful scene.
The main courtyard was far away from where Bai Chen lived, and Bai Chen walked steadily and slowly.
The two maids jogged after them, breathing heavily.
These two maids are both children with relatively poor talents.
His cultivation has always been at the initial stage of Xuanji, which is slightly better than that of ordinary people. However, due to his poor family background, he sold himself into slavery.
When Bai Chen arrived at the main courtyard, all the aunts and uncles of the Cui family were already sitting in the hall.
Some people just want to see the joke of the owner's family.
Their son was so violent, I wonder if the bride was beaten to death.
It’s a pity to disappoint them. The new daughter-in-law is very nice.
The woman who walked into the hall was bright and charming, graceful and elegant, with no signs of being abused.
Cui Mingli, the head of the Cui family, and Zhou, the mistress of the Cui family, were sitting at the top of the table. When they saw their daughter-in-law walk in safely, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Last night, they persuaded their son to enter the bridal chamber after a long time, just hoping that they could have a son as soon as possible.
"Please come in, young madam." When the maid in the hall saw Bai Chen, she hurried over to greet him.
Bai Chen lowered his head slightly and walked in small steps to the head of the family and Zhou, then bowed again. Then a maid brought two cups of tea over.
Bai Chen served tea politely with a faint smile on his face.
Zhou looked at her daughter-in-law carefully, nodded with satisfaction, took Bai Chen's hand, and smiled more sincerely, "This child is really pretty."
Then she took out a pair of bracelets from her bag and put them on Bai Chen's wrists as a gift.
Bai Chen took a look at the jade bracelet. It was of very good quality, crystal clear without any spots, and it seemed that there was energy fluctuating.
It is not an ordinary jade bracelet, I think it is worth a lot of money.
"Thank you, grandma."
The head of the Cui family looked at his new daughter-in-law indifferently, feeling quite satisfied, and handed her a big red envelope.
"Thank you, eunuch."
After Bai Chen took it, he stood up and saluted the other elders, and then gave each of them a greeting gift.
Seems to be worth a lot.
After receiving so many gifts, Bai Chen's smile became even more genuine.
Recalling the original plot, the original owner was beaten by Cui Mingyan so badly that he couldn't even get up, let alone come to serve tea, and missed the opportunity to receive the gift in vain.
On the second day after marriage, the bride must pay respects to the elders. This is the rule.
Even if I am extremely tired, I will still crawl over to serve tea to my wife.
The Cui family didn’t care whether she was beaten or not. A room full of elders were waiting for her, but she didn’t show up. Is this acceptable
This incident made the head of the family and Zhou extremely embarrassed, and they disliked her even more.
It's bad enough that she has little dowry and is a good-for-nothing, but she is so ignorant of the rules that it's simply unbearable.
This time, because the dowry offered by the Zhang family was very generous, no one in the Cui family looked unhappy.
In addition, when they saw that their daughter-in-law was so beautiful, they were less dissatisfied.
They also knew that their son was already in this state and it was impossible for him to marry a perfect woman.
After completing all the formalities, Bai Chen sat down at the bottom.
The second aunt of the Cui family asked Bai Chen very kindly:
"Niece-in-law, I heard that you have never been able to practice. Is that true? Today, you look very healthy. You don't look like a child who can't practice."
The second branch of the Cui family had no idea that there was an episode in between.
Bai Chen glanced at the woman. He wondered what her purpose was in bringing up this matter at such a special time.
