The MC forgot the plot

一 THIRTY-NINE 一

Sorry for being MIA for these past few days! I went on a trip to Baguio with my family. It was fun and exhausting but nevertheless a trip to remember. If y'all want to go to the Philippines but hated the hot weather then Baguio is the perfect place- plus, they have strawberries!

三十九 The victors of this moment

It was so easy for the comb to pass through the silken hair of Meng Jia Yue, the second concubine, Chu Meilin was in a delighted mood as she combs her daughter's hair.

"It is now the time for you to make your mother proud. Seize the chance to have an heir, remember, do not make your husband bored of you. Use your face and that mouth of yours to speak sweet nothings"

"Yes, mother"

The candles burned, it was still dawn and she has woken up for the important day of her life, of every woman's life.

"You should abide by the rules of the He clan, make sure to have a good impression with the He elders but do not try to make it obvious that you are scurrying favor to them"

The once waterfall-like hair was now pinned up with glorious pearls, Chu Meilin has already picked the dowry maids and called for Nanny Xia to assist her daughter. It would be beneficial if her fighter have someone they trust in the He residence and to be the one who would give do the dirty deeds of her cunning daughter.

"Nanny Xia will follow you, if you are in dire need of help then pass along a message to Nanny Xia and she will give it to the mole I planted already in the He clan"

Since the news of future marriage for the first miss of the Meng family, Chu Meilin wouldn't waste the chance to strike Sima Guo Yin's heart.

And she did.

They managed to rob the eldest miss of her fiance and made her daughter the legal wife. It is the only way for her husband, Meng Qing Ruo, to repay what she has done for him in the past thirty years.

To be on his beck and call, the flatterer of his every so-called achievement and bore him two, outstanding in all categories, children that boost the Meng household.

"I will mother"

As she look at her daughter's eyes she couldn't help but flash a smile of victory. Twenty years ago she didn't become the legal wife of Meng Qing Ruo and was robbed off of him by that manipulative, outrageous woman who only has her family's affluent background on her side.

'You may be the legal wife but I am the favored one- now, my daughter is the legal wife and your daughter is nothing but a scorned, preposterous woman who can only settle for less'

...

Meng Jia Yue was dressed in red silk, vibrant fire clothing that spreads to the ground adorned with gold silk; her victorious eyes were hidden away from the wedding muslim veil along with the heavy coronet embellished in pearls, silver and gold pining her hair up.

The maids were fretting over their miss as the dowry maids readied the cases that will be brought to their new place- the He estate. Today marks the wedding of the second miss of the Meng clan and the firstborn son of the He clan.

"It's time"

Meng Jia Yue stood up as she placed her arms to the maid on her side, they walked out of her yard that has imprisoned her excellence for 17 years.
