Sorry, My Wife Has a Hole in Her Brain Chapter 4 Part 2

In the days that followed, she planned her escape route while packing up the valuables in her room. Although the Southern Dynasty seemed calm now, she had read the novel and knew that this was only superficial peace. Now the three older princes had begun to fight openly and secretly. In a few years, the Hu people would invade and there would be a war between North and South.

Su Wenqing studied the map for three whole days. The north was full of Hu people, who were said to eat people. She definitely couldn't go there. The barbarian in the south had strong folk custom and there might even be Miao witchcraft. What if they saw that she was good-looking and made her into a medicine man... Su Wenqing shook her body to get rid of the goose bumps on her body.

*A medicine man refers to a person who is fed medicine and can be invulnerable to all poisons.

In fact, where she wanted to go to most was the Qinhuai area, with beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. However, it was located at the junction between the north and the south, and it would be the first place embroiled in the war. For the sake of long-term considerations, she had to give up.

So after looking for some time, there was only Zhuya, which would be called the Hainan Island in modern days, that she could choose. Zhuya's production technology was relatively backward. Maybe she could go there with the drawings of labor tools and modern people's wisdom to help improve the lives of local residents?

By then, she would be the Su-Wang Zhaojun-Wenqing in the hearts of the people of Zhuya...

*Wang Zhaojun: One of ancient China’s Four Beauties. Of the four, Wang Zhaojun is remembered for her selfless sacrifice.

Maybe the local sovereign would saw her beauty, intelligence and ability, and couldn't help but want to marry her as his wife...

Su Wenqing thought about it shyly and decided that if he was handsome, she could agree reluctantly.

After Su Wenqing planned the route, she had nothing to do. Every day she either ate or laid in the bed and had erotic dreams about "the overbearing prince and the beautiful peasant girl". One day, she dreamed that the overbearing prince hugged her from behind and told her that he would not let her leave no matter she agreed or not. Before she could even try to refuse, she was shaken up by the maid Cuidie.

Cuidie held a silk scarf and wiped the corners of Su Wenqing's mouth. "What did Third Miss dream about? Why are you drooling?"

Su Wenqing looked at her in confusion, then looked out the dark window, "What's wrong? Is there a fire?"

......Cui Die had been serving Su Wenqing these days and was no longer surprised by her young lady's occasional shocking remarks. It was also possible that she had subconsciously accepted the fact that her young lady had brain damage.

Cuidie pulled Su Wenqing up from the bed, "Did Third Miss forget? Today is the fifteenth day of the month. According to tradition, the whole family has to go to the old lady's place for breakfast."

Su Wenqing responded dejectedly. This setting was really inhumane. Are lunches cannot be eaten or are dinners not tasty, why do you have to eat breakfast?

Isn't it good to have dinner? Drinking wine, tasting food and appreciating the moon, it is very effective in promoting the love between the family members.

Su Wenqing sat in front of the dressing table with her head supported by her hands and her eyes closed, letting Cuidie help her to dress up.

Cuidie: "Third Miss has been sleeping these days. Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Wenqing covered her mouth, yawned and spouted nonsense, "Life has dealt me ​​a fatal blow. I have lost the courage to face life. I can only seek physical and mental comfort in my dreams."

Cuidie: ".....What delicious food did Third Miss dream about? Why is she drooling in her dream?"

Su Wenqing narrowed her eyes and smiled meaningfully, "Well, beauty is a feast to the eyes."

When Su Wenqing arrived at the old lady's place, she found Zhao Yiniang and her second elder sister, Su Zhining, were already serving. After Su Jinsheng's mother died, Su Yu never remarried. All matters in the Su Mansion were managed by the most favored Zhao Yiniang. Zhao Yiniang gave birth to a daughter and a son, and always pleased the old lady and Su Yu. She was a smiling tiger with a sweet mouth. She could be considered as one of the half-brained people who often seeks death in the book.

*Yiniang: How children in the family address their father’s concubines.

*Smiling tiger: It usually refers to people who hide a knife behind a smile. They appear to be friendly on the surface but are always thinking about how to exclude others behind the scenes.

*Sweet mouth: It usually refers to a person who speaks nice words but is evil at heart and always wants to frame others; describes the cunning and insidious nature of a two-faced person.

*Seeking death: This term is often used in Chinese novel to describe a person who always offends an over-powered protagonist.

The second sister, Su Zhining, is Zhao Yiniang's daughter. She had an impatient personality and did things without considering the consequences. Her likes and dislikes were all shown on her face. She had not inherited Aunt Zhao's smiling tiger trait at all, and could be considered as one of the half-brained people who often seeks death in the book.

Su Wenqing looked around the room and saw that there were only four of them in the room. She was delighted. Oh, is this the first regular meeting of the Su Mansion's Suicide Squad this month?
