Oh?!
What exactly was she implying?
The lady appeared utterly unconcerned; she could even be called ‘a dead pig not fearing scalding water.’
Butler Xu's expression grew grim as he addressed her, “Young Mistress, even though Master Zhan personally chose you as the granddaughter-in-law, that won't spare you here. Our third young master is his most cherished, and nobody can hurt him! Should he believe you're at fault, Master Zhan won't show mercy. Thus, I'm urging you—speak the truth. Do you have a lover? If yes, tell me, and I'll assist.”
Seeing Butler Xu utter such absurdities with a grave expression, the lady burst into laughter involuntarily.
The instant she laughed, it startled her too.
Her depression…
Did it vanish during the soul swap?!
Upon this realization, the woman—who previously dismissed her rebirth and planned to abandon it all—resolved right then to cherish this fresh start.
With depression gone and no more suicidal urges, existence suddenly seemed wonderful.
Her current self was Jing Qian, wed to Zhan Lichuan, the wheelchair-bound third young master of the Zhan Family. Because her ‘Ba-Zi’* aligned with his, they paid her family 100 million yuan and welcomed her as his bride. Plus, they vowed to provide another 100 million yuan annually if she remained faithful to Zhan Lichuan.
Yet, should she get caught in infidelity or any disloyalty to their young master, the Zhan family would reclaim every penny given, including all gains she earned from it.
Merely three weeks into marriage, her love rival had captured her phoning her supposed ‘lover’—really her ex—and intended to reveal it to the old master.
In panic, while grabbing for the phone, she tumbled down the stairs and met her end.
“Young Mistress, why the laughter?”
Having already wronged the third young master, she dared to chuckle?! Shameless to the core! Fury boiled in Butler Xu, his face pitch black.
“You yourself stated that discovery of my betrayal would get me expelled from the family. So why offer aid? Working for grandfather, you'd betray your master—or perhaps you're just deceiving me.
“Butler Xu, don't think me naive. Remember that.”
Those peach-blossom eyes, seemingly flirtatious, curved into a smile laced with icy sharpness.
Locking gazes with those captivating eyes, Butler Xu felt a hidden jolt. Who knew this girl from a minor clan possessed such commanding presence?
Yet he hastened to clarify, “The Feng Shui Master said your ‘Ba-Zi’ perfectly complements our third young master's. With you wed and at his side, his fortunes will rise. I only wish for the Zhan family to thrive under him.
“Hence, I prefer to think this stems from your rushed marriage into the family, leaving past issues unresolved. Reveal the person, and I'll eliminate them before your hospital release.”
His words made Jing Qian arch her brows, excitement flashing across her formerly lazy features.
She rose from bed, slipped on her footwear, and strode by the butler.
“This Feng Shui Master must be skilled indeed. Why not fetch him here later for a meeting? I wonder if he'll predict my vast wealth, world-shaking feats, and becoming the globe's richest.”
Huh?
**TL note: the term ‘Ba-Zi’ that was mentioned in the text is also known as the four pillars of destiny. A Chinese astrological concept, it’s the idea that a person’s destiny or fate can be divined by the two sexagenary cycle characters assigned to their birth year, month, day, and hour —sourced from Wikipedia.
