[QTC] MBDT Chapter 1762

Knowing there was a pit of fire ahead, yet watching her friend jump in, Bei Yutang couldn’t turn a blind eye.

“You need to think this through. Once you become his wife, you’ll only be able to watch helplessly as your husband favors other men, neglecting you. This neglect will last a lifetime. Can you endure it?”

“Perhaps, because you love him for a while, you can endure it for a year or two, but as time goes on, your love for him will fade; can you still endure it by then?”

“I… I…” Xiu Hong paused, unsure how to answer.

Actually, she was somewhat confused, but for the past few years, the Second Young Master had been her belief.

“This concerns your entire life. Think it through carefully. I’ll come back to find you in three days.”

Bei Yutang turned to leave, and as soon as she sat in the carriage, she saw Xiu Hong standing beside it.

“I’ve made up my mind.”

Bei Yutang lifted the carriage curtain and looked at her.

“I still want to stay by his side, even if he will never love me.” Xiu Hong said firmly. (T/N: Oh, fool girl… If I were you, I’d just ask for money and a new identity to start a new life. Why make trouble for oneself?)

Bei Yutang looked at her intently: “Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t stop you anymore. Tomorrow, I’ll have Master Zhao redeem you from the Zhang residence. After that, you can follow my other arrangements.”

“Okay.”

The next day, Zhao Erhu redeemed Xiu Hong from the Zhang residence. Xiu Hong had a faint scar on her face, a scar she had gotten herself to prevent being sold to a brothel by traffickers.

The scar remained on her face, barely noticeable from a distance, but a faint red mark was still visible up close.

This was one of the reasons why Xiu Hong, despite wanting to be transferred to the Second Young Master’s courtyard, couldn’t get in.

Bei Yutang didn’t take Xiu Hong to live in the courtyard, but instead had her stay alone at the inn. Bei Yutang placed a bottle in front of her, saying, “Apply this to your face after washing your face morning and night; it will remove the scar.”

Xiu Hong opened the box, and a faint, sweet fragrance wafted out. She had heard of Bing Ji Cream, but had never seen it before.

Now, seeing this box, she naturally didn’t recognize it, assuming it was just an ordinary ointment.

“When can I have my wish?” Xiu Hong pressed.

“No rush. We can get rid of this scar on your face first. Starting tomorrow, I’ll ask a few old nannies to teach you some rules of a wealthy family. You can learn the rules from them.”

“By the way, from now on, you are no longer the maid Xiu Hong, but a young lady from a once-prosperous official family. You came to Linzhou Prefecture to find your relatives, but they are no longer here.” Bei Yutang explained slowly.

Xiu Hong’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“What…what if someone finds out?”

“You won’t be discovered. Just tell them you’re a distant cousin of the Marquis of Zhongwu in the Southern Tang Kingdom, and that you and the eldest daughter of the Bei family, Bei Yutang, are good friends…” Bei Yutang spoke slowly, connecting Xiu Hong’s background to a distant cousin who had disappeared after being robbed by bandits.

Xiu Hong listened, stunned. The details were so profound that she couldn’t help but wonder if the Marquis of Zhongwu’s distant cousin was this woman, or perhaps someone she knew well.

“Remember these things. If anyone asks in the future, you can tell them about your background. But if no one asks, you don’t need to go into detail.”

Xiu Hong nodded and began to silently memorize her words.
