Chapter 1: A Good Marriage for You
"Mother, I won't marry!"

"I think you have lost your mind! What kind of family is Xinling Marquis's? If you don't want the big pie, what else do you want?!"

"Mother, the prince of Xinling Marquis's Mansion is just a fool with empty title!"

"Even if it's just a pig, it's better than the sour scholar your father found for you!"

"I won't marry anyway!"

"You can't mess around! The bridal sedan from the Marquis's Mansion will arrive in two days, so you have to marry me even if you don't want to!"

The quarrel in the room was so loud that Rong Peilan, holding the almond cheese, didn't know whether to go in or back, so she had to stop awkwardly outside the door.

Just as she was hesitating whether to come back later, Song strode out angrily.

They didn't see Rong Peilan outside the door and almost bumped into each other.

"Hello, aunt..." Rong Peilan bowed while holding almond cheese.

Glancing at her aunt Song's pale face, she wanted to say that she heard nothing.

"My cousin said she wanted to eat almond butter, so I..."

Song was furious. She had never been kind to her eldest sister-in-law's orphan who was living at home, and now she was even less kind to him.

The long scarlet nails almost poked Rong Peilan's face, "You have so much free time, why don't you go make two long gowns for your cousin Cheng Wen? Don't you know that he will take the imperial examination soon?!"

Rong Peilan lowered her head and said nothing. She could cook a little bit, but she really couldn't make clothes.

Song looked at Rong Peilan, who was lowering her head and looking docile. It was her husband who took the initiative to bring back her elder sister-in-law's orphan, and the little girl was not a servant in the mansion who could be beaten and scolded at will. Even if she disliked her, she couldn't blame her too much.

It was so annoying to see him like a dumbfounded person that Song flicked her wide sleeves, snorted, and left.

When Rong Peilan entered the room carrying the almond cheese, her cousin Xie Shuning was choosing clothes in a good mood, as if the quarrel with her aunt just now was just an illusion.

"You're here." Xie Shuning threw her dress on the couch and couldn't wait to take a sip of the almond cheese in her hand.

He sighed with satisfaction, "The almond butter must be made with your craftsmanship!"

"Cousin, you've been eating almond milk for three days straight. You're going to get sick of it, right?"

Rong Peilan sat down on the nearest stool, looking at Xie Shuning's face full of satisfaction, with a slight strange feeling in her heart.

In the past, her cousin had never been so close to her, and like her aunt, she was not very friendly to her, not to mention that she had been asking her to make almond cheese for three days in a row.

Looking at Rong Peilan's expression, Xie Shuning smiled but did not answer.

She had to be blessed by God to live again.

In this life, she will definitely turn the tide, and all the glory of Rong Peilan will be hers!
In their previous life, the two sisters had different marriages.

She was chosen by the Xinling Marquisate, a family of meritorious service that she had never dared to dream of in the past.

But Marquis Xinling had only one son, who was extremely naughty. All of Marquis Xinling's life's achievements were spent on this son, which ensured that his only son grew up safely.

The wife of Marquis Xinling did not care about family background, she only wanted to find a virtuous and capable daughter-in-law for her only son, so that they could rest in peace after a hundred years.

This is not about getting a wife, this is about finding a "mother" to discipline your son.

No aristocratic family dared to marry their daughter to such a man to be bullied, so Lady Xinling Hou had to lower her posture, and then the turn of the Xie family, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, was chosen.

Marrying into a wealthy family is far from being as glorious as one might imagine.

Xie Shuning was also a girl who was raised like a treasure by the Song family. After marrying into the marquis's mansion, she not only had to manage the family business, but also had to control her husband.

But this devil is not someone who can be controlled by his wife. They have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.

The wife of the Crown Prince Xie Shuning lived a life of wealth and luxury for only a few years before war broke out. The Marquis of Xinling died on the battlefield, and his wife also died of depression.

The undisciplined prince became a wild horse that had broken free from his reins. He squandered the family fortune in just two years, and in the end he had no choice but to rely on the favor bestowed upon him by his father to become a small soldier guarding the palace gate.

Rong Peilan was married by her father to his most promising student, the newly crowned top scholar Kang Jintang.

His extraordinary talent was appreciated by His Majesty and he became a close minister to the Emperor.

Later he became the Doctor of the Eastern Palace, and later the Prince's Junior Tutor.

After the death of the previous emperor, he supported the young prince to ascend the throne as emperor. His official position rose rapidly all the way and he eventually became the highest official in the country.

The little maid who once lived in her house became a first-rank lady, and even the eldest princess had to try to please her when she saw her.

It was not until the old lady of the Kang family celebrated her birthday that Xie Shuning stepped into the gate of the Kang mansion for the first time.

It was the first time she witnessed the glory of a powerful official's family. Even the Xinling Marquis' Mansion in the past could not even dream of it. That was the true supreme honor.

The poor cousin who had lived with them in the past was now elegant and dignified, surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars.

The vine of jealousy in her heart took root and sprouted.

After suffering from daily pain, she finally closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back to the time when Yunying was not married.

Xie Shuning looked at the timid Rong Peilan and felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Anyway, you have lived a good life for so long in your previous life, it’s her turn in this life!
"Cousin?" Seeing Xie Shuning staring at her without blinking, Rong Peilan touched her face uncomfortably, but was there something on her face?

"Nothing, I just haven't eaten your cooking for a long time, and I missed it so much that I couldn't help but eat more."

Xie Shuning came to his senses and evaded the question.

Seeing that Rong Peilan still had the innocent look of her youth, she couldn't help feeling proud. She was the only one who knew this secret, so she needed to make good use of it.

She smiled and put down the bowl in her hand. "You have been in our family for five or six years. You are also at the age of marriage. Has your father talked to you?"

Rong Peilan shook her head slightly. She and her younger brother were living in the Xie Mansion, and were already dependent on others. How could she expect her uncle to arrange a marriage for her?

There was a hint of sadness in Xie Shuning's eyes. In her previous life, it was her father who introduced Kang Jintang to her, but her mother disagreed because she thought the Kang family was too poor.

Later, when the Xinling Marquis' Mansion came knocking on the door, my mother took the opportunity to reject the Kang family.

The Kang family's marriage finally fell to Rong Peilan.

Thinking of this, Xie Shuning patted Rong Peilan's arm with a smile.

"Don't worry, cousin. You will be offered a very good marriage in due time! Don't forget your sister when you marry into a wealthy family."

"By the way, I want to eat almond butter tomorrow!"

After all, Rong Peilan was going to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, so how could she bother the Crown Prince's wife to make almond cheese for her?

"Ah? Ah?" Rong Peilan was stunned. Not only did her cousin want to eat almond milk, but she also said that it was a great marriage. What did she mean?
"Alright, alright! I'm going to change my clothes, you go back!"

Xie Shuning didn't allow her to think any more and pushed her out of the room.

The door slammed shut behind Rong Peilan, and she looked back at the door suspiciously.

I always feel that this cousin is a little different, but I can't tell what's different.

 New one, please collect and vote for me, little fairies
