Farm Girl's Manor

Having dismissed the maid who was prepared for the night duty, Mo Yan wrote a letter home, explaining why she could not return, and then released an owl from Space to deliver the message.

Watching the owl disappear into the silvery night sky, Mo Yan stood at the window for a long time without moving...

Although she did not have trouble sleeping in different beds, the unfamiliar environment still made it hard for her to fall asleep, so it was quite late when she did. The consequence of going to bed late was waking up late; by the time she woke up, the sky was bright and the sun was already three poles high.

Getting up from bed, Mo Yan annoyed slapped her head. She hurriedly dressed and washed with the warm water the maid brought, asking as she did, "At this moment, has the bride already finished serving tea?"

The maid replied nervously, "Reporting to the County Lord, Madame told the young master yesterday that the tea ceremony would be at the end of the sixth quarter of the morning, to allow the young mistress to sleep in a bit longer. It is now just the sixth quarter, and the tea ceremony has not started yet."

Hearing this, Mo Yan’s grudge against the Elderly Couple of the Shen Family lessened a bit, and she wasn’t in as much of a rush anymore. After washing up, she even put her hair up in a slightly more intricate bun. As a bride serving tea, it was not appropriate for her to be present, but it was feasible to wait outside.

Madame Shen and Elder Mr. Shen must already be aware of Lu Zhu’s appearance in the wedding hall yesterday. Even if they did not have the heart to blame her, they probably had their opinions by now. If Lu Zhu lacked discretion and showed up today to bring more bad luck to the bride, they would definitely not indulge her any longer.

Lu Zhu had some cunning, but she was not truly clever; otherwise, she would not covet Shen Ji, a married man. Someone smarter would have taken advantage of the Shen family’s guilt and affection to secure the greatest benefit for herself.
