[Salted Fish Maid, Mind-Reading Scheming Heir, Reversal and Face-Slapping]
Su Xiaoyu transmigrated into a marquis’ maid, determined to live as a salted fish while clinging to the mistress’s coattails. Her daily concern was whether the kitchen’s roast goose was crispy enough.
Until she noticed the heir Xiao Jingheng – known for his upright discipline – was looking at her with increasingly strange expressions.
Her inner monologue: [That mistress in the southern quarter is clearly suspicious.]
The next day, the heir raided the mistress’s residence and uncovered crucial account books.
Su Xiaoyu quietly spectated: [Miss Lin’s falling into water was clearly staged.]
Instantly, the heir publicly exposed this elaborate marriage fraud scheme.
Terrified, Su Xiaoyu clung to her rice bowl, desperately playing an extra while hoping to secure a lucrative purchasing job under the future heir’s wife.
Until at the palace banquet, when she was falsely accused of adultery, Xiao Jingheng shielded her before the crowd and declared:
“When did my beloved ever need your opinions?”
Later, when Su Xiaoyu was welcomed into the marquis’ residence wearing the phoenix coronet and rosy cape, she finally understood: she was never destined to be just an extra.
