Chapter 2: I was taught a lesson
Wei Qiuci was both anxious and angry.
What's urgent is that she's been married for over two months and still hasn't gotten engaged.
What angered her was that Wei Dongning didn't respond to what she said at all.
Wei Dongning didn't care about this at all, focusing all her attention on the TV series she hadn't finished watching yet.
The plate of snacks was quickly emptied.
Wei Dongning wiped her mouth: "Sister, is there anything else?"
"No, no. Little sister, would you like to go shopping with me tomorrow? I heard that Zhenshulou has received a new batch of rouge and face powder."
"Okay."
Wei Dongning thought about how she was a newcomer to the place and that she didn't know anyone.
It would be wonderful if someone were willing to show you around.
Isn't this just like having a personal tour guide?
Although she inherited all of the original owner's memories and martial arts skills.
But ultimately, it's not something you experience firsthand.
Moreover, having spent so much time lying in a hospital bed in her previous life, she had almost forgotten what it was like to go shopping.
Wei Qiuci breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wei Dongning agreed so readily.
She enjoyed the admiring glances people gave her when she took Wei Dongning out on the street.
That's the only thing she can currently use to beat Wei Dongning.
"Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow morning."
After seeing Wei Qiuci off, Wei Dongning collapsed back onto the bed: "Xiao Wu, quick, the TV series."
Xiao Wu bounced out, holding a bunch of glistening grapes in her hand: "Why did you agree to your half-sister's request? What if she tries to embarrass you?"
"Oh, whatever. How can a system eat so much?"
Every time she appears, she's carrying a bunch of delicious food.
That looks so tempting.
As for what we will face tomorrow?
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
As the TV drama unfolded, with the siblings bickering, Wei Dongning's eyes flickered slightly.
His voice was also somewhat muffled: "Xiao Wu, can you see how my brother is doing now?"
Which brother are you talking about?
Xiao Wu's brain went blank for a moment, and even the TV screen froze.
"A brother in modern society," Wei Dongning said, not wanting to make things difficult for it.
Xiao Wu is a system that does nothing but eat and grin foolishly.
She didn't expect this single-core processor to figure it out immediately.
Xiao Wu stopped eating grapes, hesitated for a moment, and then replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, Ningbao."
"It's okay. I just miss him a little."
She really misses the days when she used to bicker with her brother.
I wonder if my brother's life will get better after I'm no longer a burden.
Wei Dongning's eyes began to glaze over as she reminisced about the past.
Xiao Wu noticed her low spirits and carefully changed the subject: "Ningbao, do you still want to watch?"
Wei Dongning turned around and pulled the brocade quilt over herself.
The person was buried under the covers, and their voice was somewhat muffled: "See, I want to sleep for a while."
"You must never cry yourself to sleep, the Lord God said that doing so will turn you into an idiot."
Wei Dongning really wanted to tell Xiao Wu.
It was very comforting; don't try to comfort me again next time.
Perhaps because the bed was especially warm in winter, Wei Dongning still couldn't resist the strong drowsiness.
The discomfort subsided not long before I fell into a deep sleep.
Her maid, Xiao Fu, came to call her for dinner, but she couldn't get up.
I slept straight through until the next morning.
Having had a good sleep, Wei Dongning opened the window and was pleasantly surprised by the pristine white scenery outside.
It's snowing.
"Xiao Wu, if you could transform into human form, I would definitely have a snowball fight with you." Wei Dongning took a deep breath.
The frigid air carried snowflakes.
How long has it been since I've experienced this kind of life?
She herself doesn't remember.
Xiao Fu came in carrying a basin of hot water, interrupting Wei Dongning's dazed gaze at the snow scene: "Miss, it's time to wash up. Breakfast in the kitchen is ready."
"Xiao Fu, find the fox fur coat that my older brother gave me. I want to wear it today."
Wei Dongning closed the open window and rubbed her hands together incessantly.
Winters in ancient times were much colder than those in modern times.
She hasn't fully adapted yet.
According to the original owner's memories, her brother, a general, caught a blue fox during an autumn hunt and specially made a fox fur coat to protect her from the cold as her coming-of-age ceremony gift.
Unfortunately, the original owner never wore it after receiving it.
Now she's gotten off easy.
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiao Fu is a few years older than Wei Dongning. He is methodical and extremely experienced in his work.
He has been following the original owner since he was five years old.
Wei Dongning actually felt somewhat sorry for them; she was just an imposter.
While Xiao Fu was looking for clothes for her, she muttered to Xiao Wu in her mind, "Xiao Fu is of marriageable age. Can you find out if she has someone she likes?"
Xiao Wu could sense Wei Dongning's innermost thoughts and comforted her gently, "Ningbao, you don't need to feel too guilty. The original owner is doing very well now, and don't worry, under the control of the God, even if you do something different from the original owner, they won't suspect anything."
"The original owner of this body didn't die?"
"No, she volunteered to go to the cultivation world to do a mission."
The original owner had a great hobby: collecting storybooks from all over the place.
She likes all kinds of types.
The most popular genre in the capital right now is cultivation novels. After reading them, the original owner kept insisting that he must have a top-grade water spirit root.
By a twist of fate, she summoned the system, which transported her to a world of cultivation.
But the body couldn't remain empty forever, so 005 approached Wei Dongning, giving her a second chance at life.
Hearing this, Wei Dongning's inner turmoil did indeed lessen considerably.
As long as you don't take it by force, it's fine.
When Wei Qiuci arrived at Wei Dongning's courtyard, Xiao Fu had already combed Wei Dongning's hair.
Two simple hairpins are used to twist the hair into a bun.
Her curved willow-leaf eyebrows gave her a playful look.
"Sister, shall we set off now?" Wei Dongning was already getting impatient.
She really wanted to taste the difference between the ancient candied hawthorn and the modern one.
When Wei Qiuci saw the fox fur coat she was wearing, his eyes darkened slightly.
In an instant, his expression returned to normal: "Let's go."
Wei Dongning was quite excited as she strolled through the ancient commercial street for the first time.
Look left and look right.
If you see something new and interesting, buy it all.
Before long, Xiao Fu's hands were full of things.
Wei Dongning held a candied hawthorn in her hand and ate it as she walked, seemingly unconcerned.
Naturally, no one noticed the meaningful smile on Wei Qiuci's lips.
She wanted to see Wei Dongning act so unruly.
When everyone looked at Wei Dongning, their faces were full of disapproval.
This already made her very content.
The idea that we all share in each other's glory or loss is not as important as her feelings.
Wei Dongning turned around, and the candied hawthorn stuck right to the collar of the person next to her.
The bright red hanging on the dark cloud-patterned cloak was extremely eye-catching.
Wei Dongning stared at the person in front of her, smacked her lips, and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Gu."
The person who arrived was none other than Gu Peiyan, the man Wei Dongning was betrothed to.
Gu Peiyan frowned, pulled the candied hawthorn off her collar, and spoke with a hint of impatience: "Miss Wei's behavior is completely unlike that of a lady from a respectable family."
Wei Dongning looked him up and down.
Just as she had guessed, this person was indeed old-fashioned and boring.
Gu Peiyan continued, "I hope Miss Wei can learn from the other noble ladies."
Wei Dongning looked silently into the distance and saw a familiar figure.
Ignoring the fact that there were people around, he shouted at the back of the figure, "Nao Nao!"
