The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 4

"Heaven will not destroy me! Thank you!"

After asking a series of questions, Rong Dai's heart was emboldened. She hugged her cell phone excitedly, almost crying out of excitement!

Bang!

Before she could even feel relieved from her near-death experience, the bedroom door was kicked open, startling her and making her quickly turn her head to look over.

She saw Huo Shao Ting's face looking a little gloomy, seemingly still mixed with anger.

"Hus..."

No, she couldn't call him husband! Little v had just said that she should call him dear, right?

"Dear, you, you're back?"

Her calling him dear instantly froze the air.

Li Shu and Wang Ma looked at each other in dismay behind Huo Shao Ting - what was going on with the lady?

"Is...is that not right?"

Noticing the strange atmosphere, Rong Dai grew anxious, forcing out an awkward smile as she hesitantly asked.

Huo Shao Ting looked at her coldly, throwing over a document.

Seeing the situation going badly, Li Shu and Wang Ma hurriedly signaled for the family doctor to go downstairs with them.

Neither had expected Huo Shao Ting to suddenly return, and it seemed his relationship with his wife was even worse.

"Divorce agreement. I'm giving you three days to consider it. Three days later I won't wait for your reply. This marriage is not up to you."

Huo Shao Ting said coldly. The way he looked at her was full of disgust, as if looking at a filthy bug.

After he finished speaking he left. Rong Dai blankly sat on the bed, her gaze falling on the document before her.

Divorce? Does he mean to set me aside as a wife?

Thinking of the words "set aside", Rong Dai's expression changed!

How could she, a queen, possibly be set aside!

She absolutely wouldn't allow it!

It must be because she had said the wrong thing yesterday. That concubine must have whispered in his ear last night, otherwise why would he set her aside as a wife?

"I have to think of a foolproof plan..."

Rong Dai murmured, holding the document as her gaze became extremely determined. She hadn't expected that after being reborn as a queen she would immediately face such trials.

"Monogamy? ... Cohabiting with other women is a crime of bigamy? Illegal?"

Holding her cell phone in bed, Rong Dai felt her worldview had been greatly shocked!

She instantly forgot her hunger. As she asked her phone assistant questions and gradually learned to search online, it shocked her even more!

She hadn't expected such a little thing to know so much!

For three straight days, Rong Dai ate and drank in her bedroom, not going anywhere without her phone.

She was a quick learner. Although there were still some things she couldn't fully comprehend, she had the basics down.

Fortunately the original owner had been a recluse at the Huo residence, so her strange behavior wasn't noticed by anyone.

Seeing her become more normal, Wang Ma also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madam, the elder madam and madam are coming back today. I've made reservations at a restaurant, so you need to get ready early."

Seeing time slipping away, Wang Ma couldn't help but go upstairs to remind Rong Dai.

"I know, Wang Ma."

Rong Dai replied briskly. She was in an exceptionally good mood.

She was much more skilled at washing up this time. But when she looked in the wardrobe, she saw how pitifully few clothes she had, all in somber colors.

Although Rong Dai had difficulty accepting the revealing clothes, she had no choice. In the end she picked a high-slit cheongsam that she could barely stand looking at.

This cheongsam was originally meant for the original owner to wear when she returned home, but her only family had been her mother. With her mother dead, she had no home.

So this cheongsam had never been worn before. Wearing it today was appropriate for the occasion.

"This is too tight..."

Rong Dai's face turned red from holding in her breath as she changed into the undergarments. Why couldn't she wear a belly wrap? Who invented this torture device trying to suffocate people?

After much difficulty getting dressed, Rong Dai searched for accessories for half a day, only finding a set of emerald green jade bangles, necklace and earrings.

"Although the quality isn't the best, it's still passable."

Rong Dai muttered to herself. As a queen she had seen countless treasures, so she was quite discerning.

After getting the accessories ready, she put up her own hair in a simple style. Together with her outfit, she looked dignified yet elegant.

"Madam, this..."

"Wang Ma, is this outfit alright?"

When Rong Dai came downstairs, Wang Ma was stunned by her appearance, her gaze falling on the jade jewelry in surprise.

Weren't these heirlooms that Madam had always treasured?

So the elder madam had given them to the young madam!

"Yes, young madam looks beautiful. Young people should wear brighter colors."

Wang Ma nodded with a smile. She had wanted to say something, but seeing Rong Dai so happy, she didn't have the heart to ruin her mood.

Sitting in the car, Rong Dai looked at the towering high-rises outside the window with curiosity, while maintaining a calm and elegant demeanor.

Arriving at the hotel, she immediately caught sight of the hale and hearty elder madam Huo.

She quietly took a deep breath, a smile appearing on her face as she sweetly called out, "Grandmother..."

Oh no!

She should have called her Granny! Why did she have to blurt this out at such a time!

Although calling her Grandmother wasn't too inappropriate, her loud voice had made her stand out prominently.

Mrs. Huo, who had been talking to Huo Mei Shu, looked disgusted. Seeing the jade jewelry Rong Dai was wearing, her expression immediately darkened.

"How could Mother give that to her?!"

Huo Mei Shu's expression also changed.

"Little Rong Rong, come here!" The elder madam didn't care about those things. She immediately smiled and waved at Rong Dai.

Rong Dai wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Hurrying over, she said, "Granny."

"Let me see if you've gotten a little fatter! Hmm, the bangles look so nice on you, Little Rong Rong! Young people should wear brighter colors."

The elder madam also noticed the jewelry she was wearing, her smile gentle and doting.

"Mrs. Huo."

Before Rong Dai could speak, Wen Shi Lan's soft, tender voice sounded from behind her.

Rong Dai's expression instantly became stern, an aura of authority emanating from her inside out.

Even a lowly concubine dared to provoke her?

Even if the marriage system was different here, she, Rong Dai, would not meekly agree to a divorce!

Wanting to step over her head so quickly to take her place, this Wen Shi Lan was too impatient!

She had just arrived here and would starve on the streets if divorced, with no family to turn to.

So she had come up with a balanced approach.

"Don't worry Granny, I'll handle it."

Smiling, she said to the elder madam before turning, her gaze piercing as it landed on Wen Shi Lan. Of course, Huo Shao Ting was standing by the latter's side.

The elder madam was taken aback before smiling and watching the drama unfold.

"Dear, let's go talk. Miss Wen, you should come too."

She was calm and unruffled, without any anger, but her commanding presence attracted attention.

Wen Shi Lan had originally wanted to vent her frustration from being humiliated by Rong Dai at the hospital that day, but being stared at by Rong Dai now, she felt a chill down her spine.

Rong Dai noticed the panic in her eyes and sighed inwardly: too amateurish to try and take her on.

Without waiting for Huo Shao Ting's reply, she walked off ahead of them.

She dared to humiliate even the emperor, so why would she fear an upstart?
