Summary
On the day my young mistress got married, she announced in front of everyone that she wanted me to marry the Marquis.
But I was only a maid who tended the fires!
She said, “The Marquis broke his leg for me. I can’t just abandon him. Xiaohan, marry into his household in my place and take care of him.”
I was just about to refuse when a stream of floating comments suddenly drifted before my eyes:
[The female lead is so kind. Even at the grand finale, she’s finding someone to take care of the disabled second male lead.]
[Too bad the second male lead will kill himself after the female lead gets married.]
[He still doesn’t know that this maid is his long-lost biological sister. If his sister stayed by his side, he probably wouldn’t die, right?]
Really?
Then didn’t that mean my dowry was as good as settled?
I immediately packed my bundle and headed to the Marquis’s estate.
Meng Chengyan looked at me coldly. “I will not marry you. Don’t indulge in delusions.”
Me: “Brother, what are you even thinking? Don’t do anything that’ll get you struck by lightning. I already have a fiancé. Just give me some dowry money.”
