The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 3

That night Rong Dai slept very soundly. She had a long, long dream where she bid farewell to her thirty years as queen and looked forward to the future of this new world.

Gurgle--

Rong Dai was having a sweet dream when her stomach suddenly protested, instantly waking her up from hunger.

She groggily opened her eyes and was momentarily stunned when she saw the big red room. A few seconds later she was fully awake!

She looked around the room, recalling yesterday's events in her mind, her heart pounding excitedly again!

This was all real! It couldn't be more real!

She clutched her chest, filled with mixed emotions of sadness and joy.

For the last thirty years, she had lived in the cold palace for ten years!

From the moment she entered the cold palace, the only thing she waited for was death.

But now, she had died and lived again.

She had wanted to leave that mercilessly dark palace long ago, but she was powerless.

Now she had left, but the road ahead was still filled with confusion and obscurity.

"It's nothing. You are from a prestigious family, there is nothing that can get you down!"

She murmured to herself, bidding farewell to her past self and welcoming her new life ahead.

With complicated feelings, Rong Dai sat on the bed for a long time. Not that she didn't want to get up.

Rather, she didn't know where to start.

Everything was unknown and novel to her.

She could convince herself to accept it, but with only the original host's fragmented memories, she really didn't know what to do.

"Alas, the road ahead will be arduous..."

Rong Dai sighed softly, eventually defeated by hunger, and could only crawl out of bed to wash up.

This was their bridal chamber, with a private bathroom. All the toiletries were brand new.

"Ah! Are you human or ghost?!"

As soon as Rong Dai walked in, she saw someone pop up in front and screamed, almost falling to the ground.

After waiting for a while without anyone answering her, she stared at the mirror and realized the person inside looked exactly like her.

She bravely walked over and reached out to touch it.

Rong Dai: "!?"

It turned out to be a mirror wall!

She pinched her own face and the person inside made the same action.

"So it's a bronze mirror. It looks so real."

Rong Dai heaved a long sigh of relief, completely letting down her guard.

Seeing the toothbrush, toothpaste and tooth mug on the washbasin, she was instantly stumped. How do you use these things?

She felt a big headache coming. The original host's memories didn't explain in detail how to use these things!

Rong Dai despaired, she could only fiddle with them one by one. She "struggled" in the bathroom all morning.

"Auntie Wang, go check on the mistress. She hasn't made any noise all morning, I hope she didn't get a fever right after the surgery."

Steward Li Shu looked at the clock in the living room. It was already noon, but he still hadn't seen Rong Dai come down, inevitably a little worried.

Auntie Wang didn't say much, just wiped her hands and went to knock on Rong Dai's door.

"Who is it?!"

Hearing the knock, Rong Dai was so startled she almost became neurotic. She was still holding bubbles in her mouth and hurriedly went to open the door.

"Mistress, you..." Wang Ma saw her soaked from head to toe, looking wretched, as if she had just been in a fight. She was stunned on the spot.

Rong Dai awkwardly swallowed and forced out a smile. "I...just fell down accidentally just now."

She would never admit she got scared and fell on the ground when she saw water spurting out of the faucet.

Wang Ma stared blankly at her. "Mistress, you... ate toothpaste?"

Rong Dai was taken aback, and asked puzzledly, "This...can't be eaten? It's a little sweet, a little cool, the taste seems...not bad!"

Wang Ma's face was as if she had seen a ghost. She hurriedly reached out to check Rong Dai's forehead, muttering.

"Oh no, oh no... Steward Li!"

Wang Ma was so frightened her face turned pale. She clattered downstairs, hoarsely yelling for Li Shu.

Rong Dai: "???"

What did she say wrong?

"What's wrong? Isn't the mistress feeling well?" Li Shu was startled by Wang Ma's commotion.

Wang Ma was anxious, her face pale. "No, it's... oh my! The mistress is not right in the head! She just ate toothpaste and asked me if toothpaste is edible!"

"I'll contact the doctor to come over immediately!" Li Shu's expression changed and he hurried to make a phone call.

Upstairs, Rong Dai frowned and stared blankly.

It seemed she had done something terrible!

"Pfft—"

Just as Rong Dai was lost in thought, she heard someone chuckling.

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in her early twenties.

Rong Dai frowned, trying hard to find information about this woman from her memories.

Huo Mei Shu, Huo Shao Ting's younger sister.

That was her sister-in-law!

"Rong Dai, are you an idiot? Scaring Wang Ma like that in broad daylight."

Huo Mei Shu looked at her with contempt and disdain, obviously looking down on her.

Rong Dai was taken aback. She really didn't know this stuff wasn't edible. She thought it was some kind of pastry.

She looked at Huo Mei Shu a little embarrassed. "Um..."

She had wanted to ask Huo Mei Shu how to use these things. She couldn't be like an idiot, if she didn't even know how to use basic things, her flaws would be too obvious!

But just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered the saying: the hearts of others are different.

Her soul was from over a thousand years ago. If others knew about this, wouldn't she be taken as a monster and sacrificed!

No! She absolutely could not say anything!

Rong Dai kept shaking her head as she thought, completely oblivious to Huo Mei Shu's disgusted and idiotic gaze.

"Truly insane!"

After Huo Mei Shu went downstairs, Rong Dai heaved a huge sigh of relief and hurriedly closed the door, clutching her chest and gasping for air.

"No, I have to figure something out!"

Rong Dai was extremely anxious, she never imagined the changes after a thousand years would be so huge that she had become almost useless here!

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. This was even scarier than when she moved to the cold palace back then!

"That's it!"

She suddenly remembered the talking gadget that the woman in white took out of her bag yesterday. That might be able to solve her burning dilemma!

In a panic she fumbled out her phone, but Rong Dai was also dumbfounded. She didn't know how to use this either!

For the first time, Rong Dai felt what it was like to be in complete despair!

"Heaven wants to destroy me!"

Rong Dai was so anxious she almost cried. She never imagined that she, an empress, would be reduced to this.

Just a moment ago she had confidently said she would live this life well, but now she was facing extinction.

Rong Dai wanted to cry but no tears came out.

"Voice assistant at your service. Master, how may I assist you? Little V can answer anything!"

"W-What are you?!"

Rong Dai had been holding the phone. When she accidentally triggered the voice assistant, it gave her a fright but also a glimmer of hope!

Clutching the phone tightly, Rong Dai nervously organized her thoughts and asked the voice assistant question by question.
