Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 500 The Life of Cannon Fodder (1)

The final result was naturally that his entire fortune was devoured, leaving him without even a straw mat after his death. He was simply thrown into a mass grave, and his vast wealth ended up in the hands of wolves.

The scene now is the very beginning of a grand wedding, and all the tragedies begin from this moment.

Wangyou lifted her veil and looked at the furnishings in the room. They were unusually shabby. The Marquis of Wu'an and the prince whom Huo Wangyou had married had gone to war on their wedding night.

This emperor was quite something; he sent his people out to war on their wedding night. Why didn't he do that sooner?

However, the main characters in charge were all gone, leaving only a mean old lady, a widowed cousin, and two stepsons.

Of all things under the heavens and earth, sleep is the most important. Wangyou asked someone to prepare some food, and then went to tidy up and wash up.

The next day, I was woken up early in the morning and told that I had to pay my respects to the old lady.

It's okay to think about forgetting your worries, but if you don't go, you'll just drive people crazy.

Wangyou went there after having breakfast; she wasn't going to stand at the door in the cold wind.

"Young Madam, the Old Madam is having her meal. Please wait a moment."

"Oh, then I'll go back." Seeing that the old woman meant for her to wait at the door, she wasn't stupid.

"Young Madam, please wait a moment. The Old Madam invites you to come in and have a meal together." Sure enough, Wangyou was stopped after taking only a few steps.

Wangyou smiled and didn't make things difficult for the old woman before going inside.

"Granddaughter-in-law greets the old lady." These were the words of greeting, but she didn't even raise her hand.

Looking around, there was only the old lady and that cousin; there wasn't a single proper relative or elder present, which showed how neglected they were.

However, Wangyou doesn't care about these things. If you neglect me, I'll neglect you. How fair is that?

"Since the old lady is going to have her meal, I will not disturb her any longer and will take my leave now."

"and many more!"

"What advice did the old lady give you?"

Shouldn't you offer tea?

"Your grandson and I haven't even finished the wedding ceremony yet. What kind of tea ceremony is this? Let's wait until the young master returns and we finish the wedding procedures before we offer tea." Wangyou casually found a chair and sat down.

"Even if the ceremony isn't finished, you are still my Lu family's granddaughter-in-law, which is why I can protect you."

"Oh, so the one million taels of silver my father gave to your family before was all for nothing."

How dare you be so unfilial!

"How can you say I'm unfilial? To be honest, I haven't completed the wedding ceremony with the young master, nor have we entered the bridal chamber, and I'm not even included in your family genealogy. You didn't even call the clan elders today, so I know you don't intend to include me in the genealogy. So, don't pretend that you value me so much."

The maids and servants were terrified. This new lady was so bold as to dare to mock the old lady like that.

"How dare you!"

"If you keep arguing with me, I'm going back. I haven't even checked my dowry yet!"

When the old lady saw Wangyou get up to leave, she almost fainted.

"Now that you've entered the Marquis's mansion, you'll be the mistress of the household from now on, so the management of the household affairs will be entrusted to you," the old lady said quickly.

"Tch, an empty shell of a marquis's mansion, hoping to take advantage of me? Let whoever wants to be the sucker!" Wangyou didn't linger any longer and got up to leave.

"Miss, won't this cause any problems?"

"Something's bound to happen, but we don't know who it will be. Let's hurry back and take stock of my dowry," Wangyou said with a grin.

Seeing that her young mistress wasn't worried, Chun Tao felt much more at ease and quickly followed.

Wangyou led her maids to count the dowry, and then found someone to transport it to her residence. Keeping it in this marquis's mansion was not safe at all.

"Miss, the eldest young master and the second young master have come to pay their respects."

"Let them in!"

Two children, one eight years old and the other six, came in. They were both good-looking, but unfortunately, they were inherently bad.

"The son has met his mother."

"Um, is there something you need?"

"It's nothing. It's just that you and my father got married yesterday, so it's only right that your son comes to pay his respects today."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work. Go back now. You don't need to come again unless necessary. If you need anything, just ask your grandmother. Chun Tao, see them out."

Chun Tao was carrying the gift when she heard the young lady say it was time to see the guest out.

Although the eldest son was somewhat shrewd, he was still young, and at that moment his face flashed with displeasure and resentment.

The smaller one was absolutely terrible; she started wailing right away. Wangyou didn't soften at all and had Chuntao drag her out. She told her to go outside and wail, and not to dirty her place.

"Miss, being so timid will only invite gossip," Xia Zhi said worriedly.

"If the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion can do this, why would I be afraid of what people say?" Wangyou sneered.

"Miss, what do you mean?"

"How could an imperial edict ordering troops to fight be suddenly summoned away? It takes time to mobilize troops. It must have been arranged long ago. The Marquis of Wu'an's family is marrying me into their household at this time to make me nameless and have to take care of them and their children. They're dreaming."

"But it was definitely His Majesty who sent someone to deliver the imperial decree that day!"

"Who knows!"

Wangyou didn't care about any of these things. She spent her days eating, drinking, and generally being lazy, occasionally trying to annoy the old lady.

The old lady tried several times to hand over the management of the household affairs to Wangyou, but Wangyou was not interested in doing anything. In addition, she set up her own small kitchen, so what others ate was none of her business.

Unable to reason with Wangyou, they actually sent someone to assassinate her.

Wangyou didn't give him a kind look either, and immediately dragged the corpse to the old lady's bed.

The next day, screams came from Shou'an Hall, followed by the doctor's voice. After this incident, the old woman should be more obedient for a while.

Besides, she even gave the old woman medicine to ensure she wouldn't die of anger. What's the point of killing her so easily? It's nothing compared to the torment she endures day and night.

Since then, the old lady has become much more docile, fearing that one day someone might take her life in the middle of the night.

It is said that the Wu'an Marquis's family only became wealthy during the generation of the Wu'an Marquis. The old lady was originally just an ordinary old woman from the village. She became arrogant and looked down on this and that after a short time of wealth.

Startled by Wangyou's words, his petty, common-sense mentality instantly took over, and he never bothered Wangyou again.

And just like that, three years passed in the blink of an eye.

"Miss, the Marquis and the Heir Apparent have returned."

"So fast?"

"Not only that, the prince also brought back a woman and a child."

"Let's go see what's going on."

When Wangyou arrived, the old lady sat high above, her eyes filled with schadenfreude as she looked at Wangyou.

This was the first time Wangyou had met Marquis Wu'an and his heir. They were indeed handsome, but as people, they were definitely not good.

"Greetings, Lord Marquis, and Prince."

When Prince Lu An saw the clothes on Wang You, and then looked at the clothes on his grandmother and cousin, he was furious.

"Is this how you take care of my grandmother and my two children?!"

"What nonsense is Your Highness talking about? When did you ever ask me to take care of the old lady and your son, Chun Tao? Did Your Highness say that?"

“Miss, no, the young master hasn’t even seen you,” Chun Tao said definitively.
