The girl who wears fast

Chapter 2 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (2)

Taoye then remembered that no matter how muddy Shichu could not support the wall, she still had the name of Mrs. Xiangfu. Although she didn't think Shichu had the courage to sue Xiangye, the rabbit still bit people in a hurry. She can't be too arrogant, it's not good if she pushes people into a hurry and really goes all out.

So she had no choice but to sneer and say: "Madam was joking, and this servant is going to find food for Madam."

As he was about to go out, Shi Chu hurriedly called her: "Call those lazy servants back to me as servants!"

Shi Chu got up by himself and sat in front of the dressing table. An unclear face was reflected in the bronze mirror, but no matter how unclear it was, one could still see the thin face, pale complexion and dry and dull hair of the person in the mirror.

The original owner had no biological mother since he was a child, and when he had a stepmother, he had a stepfather. He suffered a lot, lack of food and clothing was a daily occurrence, and he was sallow and emaciated from hunger. He was 20 years old and his body was shriveled, like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. Girl, her face is lifeless and lifeless, without the youthful beauty of a young girl.

Shi Chu looked at himself with distaste, and twitched the corners of his mouth. Fortunately, his facial bones were correct, his nose was delicate and small, his two eyebrows were faint, but they could be seen to be in good shape, his eyes were dull and dull, but they were big and round. Her eyes are also clear, as long as she takes good care of her, her cheeks will become fleshy and her face will become rosy, and she will not be ugly.

Shi Chu carefully looked at the original owner's appearance, a tall maid walked in, saw Shi Chu sitting in front of the dressing table, and asked, "Madam, are you going to dress up today?"

"Yes, give me a dignified and imposing makeup." Shi Chu glanced at the maid named Li Ye and said.

Li Ye looked at Shi Chu in amazement, apparently not expecting her to make such a request, so she asked, "Madam is going out?"

Shi Chu nodded, and asked Li Ye to do it.

When the makeup was finished, Shi Chu took a look and used black powder to paint the two eyebrows a little darker before he was satisfied.

After eating what Tao Ye brought back, Shi Chu said: "Gather all the people I married as a dowry, I'll give orders later."

Tao Ye and Li Ye looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Shi Chu's gourd, Tao Ye asked: "Ma'am, what are you going to do?"

"Of course there is something to do, you just need to call someone, remember, there must be no one missing." Shi Chu said solemnly, and then told Li Ye, "You and I will go find the eldest lady together."

When Shi Chu went out, he found that his yard was really deserted and remote. Although it occupied a wide area, the yard was empty, even the flowers and plants were sparse, and it was as lifeless as her master.

The original owner had never been to Miss Luo Yaqing's courtyard, and Shi Chu called a servant from the Prime Minister's mansion to find the place.

Luo Yaqing was writing a letter to a friend in her boudoir in her study room, and when she heard the maid came to report that Madam had come, she didn't remember who it was for a while: "Madam? Why is Madam looking for me?"

Apparently she had forgotten that she had a stepmother.

"It's the step-wife, Miss, have you forgotten the new wife that Xiangye married?" Her eldest maid hurriedly reminded her.

It was only then that Luo Yaqing thought of her stepmother, who didn't deserve the name: "Why did she come to find me?"

"Maybe there is something wrong, you change your clothes quickly, she will be here soon."

When Shichu entered Luo Yaqing's courtyard, a servant girl brought her in and said apologetically, "Madam, please sit down for a while, have some snacks and have a cup of tea, Miss will be out soon."

As expected of being the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, when she saw the invisible man at the beginning, she did not look down on him at all, but was respectful and polite, which was in stark contrast to her maid.

"Mother, mother, you are here, what do you want me for?" Luo Yaqing called Shi Chu awkwardly, but soon calmed down after opening her mouth.

Shi Chu took a look at Luo Yaqing, and saw that she was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a small heart-shaped face, round and bright almond eyes, two thin eyebrows curved, and a slight smile. I like pretty girls.

"I want to go back to Uncle Ningyuan's mansion. You ask the second housekeeper and some strong servants to go back with me." Shi Chu didn't talk politely to her, and directly stated his intention of coming.

Luo Yaqing was a little puzzled: "Don't you have your own nanny? Why do you want more?"

"Naturally, it's convenient for the fox to fake the power of the tiger." Shi Chu said meaningfully, "By the way, we need some good guards."

Luo Yaqing was surprised. Although she didn't have much contact with this stepmother, she knew that she was timid and afraid of getting into trouble. She didn't expect to say these unexpected words at this moment. It seems that her stepmother is not as cowardly as the legend says.

Luo Yaqing readily lent her the man, although she didn't know what she was going to do when she returned to her mother's house, but it didn't hinder the prime minister's affairs, so it didn't matter.

Although she didn't like someone taking her mother's position, Shi Chu was just a figurehead and would not harm her and her brother's interests, so she was still willing to help with this little favor.

Shi Chu then took a group of people back to Ningyuan Bo's mansion in a horse-drawn carriage.

In the Shouchun Hall of Uncle Ningyuan’s Mansion, Xu Shichu’s eldest aunt, Mrs. Zhou, was frowning as she looked at the account book of this month’s mansion. Uncle Ningyuan’s Mansion would have fallen into disrepute long ago, if she hadn’t calculated carefully every day , Preoccupied, I don't know how difficult it is to make a living in the mansion, so every time Zhou looks at the account book, he is in a bad mood.

This month, she was unable to make ends meet again. Zhou was sullenly thinking about how to save her husband and concubine in order to save some money. A nanny came in from outside, saluted her, and said with a smile on her face: "Old lady, third aunt I came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I brought a lot of people with me, it's so majestic!"

"Grandma Sangu? Xu Shichu?!" Mrs. Zhou finally remembered that Grandma Sangu was her niece who married into the prime minister's mansion three months ago. When she heard that she was back, she became happy and frowned. Also stretched out.

That's right, this niece is the wife of the prime minister who holds great power in the dynasty. She is the most beautiful married daughter of the uncle's house. Her mother's family is so difficult, so she should also help her!

Thinking of this, the Zhou family immediately became energetic, but she still felt a little pity in her heart. It would be even better if her own daughter married into the prime minister's mansion.

She didn't know that what Luo Changqing was looking for was Xu Shichu's character and background, even if she had a daughter, Luo Changqing would not choose her daughter.

"Hurry up and meet Grandma Sangu." Mrs. Zhou purposely called Grandma Sangu instead of Mrs. Xiangfu, in order to appear more affectionate with her niece. At this time, their uncle's residence had to rely on Xu Shichu, not Xu Shichu had to rely on her.

As soon as Xu Shichu entered the hall, Mrs. Zhou immediately greeted her, held her hand affectionately, looked at her lovingly, and said repeatedly: "Oh, sister Chu is back, you have been away for three months I don’t know how much Auntie misses you! Let Auntie take a look...you’re all skinny..."

Those who didn't know about this caring and loving tone thought that Xu Shichu had a good relationship with the Zhou family.
