The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 166
The woman holding the tray was covered in cold sweat by Mu Qingxue.

In the second room, everyone didn't know that the relationship between Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingxue was not as close as it seemed from the outside.

Looking at the undisguised greed and jealousy in Mu Qingxue's eyes, the mother-in-law was afraid that Mu Qingyu's next words would be to ask her to hand over this trick.

The mother-in-law held the tray in both hands, unable to wipe off the sweat, she could only let the sweat drip down her cheeks.

"Miss Si, if there is nothing wrong, this old slave will go to Miss Er first."

Mu Qingxue looked away reluctantly, just in time to see Mu Qingyu who was walking slowly.

"You don't need to go in, Second Sister will come here?" Mu Qingxue said.

Seeing Mu Qingyu, the woman hurried to Mu Qingyu as if she had seen a savior.

"Miss, this is from Zhenbao Pavilion, please take a look at it."

Mu Qingyu glanced casually, "Put it in my room."

"Yes." The mother-in-law happily went into the house.

"My sister is so generous," Mu Qingxue said eccentrically, "I heard from her that my sister is going to give it to the Qin family's sister?"

Mu Qingyu nodded frankly, "This is a congratulatory gift from me to sister Qin's marriage."

"It must have cost you a lot of money. If daddy knows that you are so profligate, I don't know if he will be angry." Mu Qingxue said sourly.

It was as if the money came out of her pocket.

"Since when did my sister care so much about other people's things?" Mu Qingyu emphasized the words "other people's things" to help Mu Qingxue sort out her status.

Seeing the ridicule hidden in the corners of Mu Qingyu's eyes, Mu Qingxue wanted to tear Mu Qingyu's acrimonious mouth open in public.

At the beginning, everything that Mu Qingyu possessed almost became Mu Qingxue's possession.

Today, the one who stands tall and holds a large sum of money should be Mu Qingxue.

Mu Qingxue gritted her teeth and said, "You can prepare such an expensive gift as an outsider. If I get married, what should you give me?"

Mu Qingyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, your marriage with the prince has already been settled? Or is it because of this that you went to the palace today?"

Mu Qingyu's clear eyes seemed to see through everything, and Mu Qingxue raised her head bluffing, absolutely not letting her see anything.

"Hmph, why do I have to tell you so much, you just wait to hear the order from the palace."

Mu Qingxue raised her head proudly and went inside.

"Miss, fourth miss is too much, miss, don't be angry." Mo Zhu himself was almost pissed off by Mu Qingxue's defiant attitude.

Not only was Mu Qingyu not angry, but a mysterious smile bloomed on his lips.

"It's human nature for the fourth younger sister to be angry. When she gets married, I will definitely prepare a generous gift for her."

She raised her hand and brushed a few strands of sweaty hair from her temples to the back of her head.

"It's too hot." Mu Qingyu frowned, "Let's go in quickly."

"Yes." Mo Zhu almost forgot that Mu Qingyu was afraid of the heat, and hurriedly followed him into the room.

Back in the boudoir, Miao Xiang had prepared warm water, twisted a handkerchief and asked Mu Qingyu to wipe her face.

Mu Qingyu wiped her face, feeling much refreshed.

On the table was that pair of masks, Mu Qingyu returned the handkerchief to Mo Xiang, and walked to the table.

Mu Qingyu admired it for a while, and the craftsmanship of the master of Zhenbao Pavilion really lived up to its reputation.

Qin Shu is gentle, and with the gentle jade, it will surely be the icing on the cake.

"Miss Eight will definitely like it when she sees it." Mo Zhu looked at her head and liked it very much.

"Well, when the weather gets cooler, I'll send it to her." Mu Qingyu said.

The Qin family is in such a situation, being controlled by Mrs. Qin, to prepare a dowry for Qin Shu, they have to look at Mrs. Qin's face first.

At that time, Qin Shu's dowry will be shabby, and it will be Qin Shu's own face that will be lost.

With this look, Mu Qingyu was going to ask Qin Shu to add it to the dowry.

The next day, there was a heavy rain in the afternoon and the weather turned cooler.

Mu Qingyu asked Mo Zhu to prepare the carriage and went to the Qin residence in person.

With her status, she didn't need to report to the Qin Mansion, and the gatekeeper let her in.

Mu Qingyu was a regular visitor, so she didn't need the servants of the Qin residence to lead the way, so she went to the third room by herself.

Before reaching the third room, he could hear the noisy movement over there.

Mu Qingyu frowned, quickened his pace and entered the third room.

The voice came from the main room, and it could be vaguely distinguished that it was Mrs. Qin's voice.

"Do you think that if you marry your daughter to the Zhang family, you will be able to rise to the top? You will be able to ascend to heaven? It's a joke, no matter what, you are all from the Qin family."

"My mother is not dead, so don't think about dividing the family. Now I am taking care of the family, don't you want to listen to what I say?"

Mrs. Qin's harsh voice came from the room.

Only her voice, as if she was the only one in the room.

Mu Qingyu had already reached the door, and the mother-in-law who guarded the door noticed Mu Qingyu.

"Miss Biao is here." The mother-in-law was startled, her attention was attracted by the voice in the room.

"Miss Biao," the mother-in-law blocked Mu Qingyu calmly, "Miss Ba is in the room, Miss Biao, hurry over."

Qin Shu wasn't inside, so Mu Qingyu poked his head and wanted to take a look inside, but was stopped by his mother-in-law.

This woman didn't look like she would give way to Mu Qingyu, but deliberately blocked Mu Qingyu's prying sight.

Mu Qingyu had no choice but to look away and go to Qin Shu first.

Qin Shu was in the room, embroidering her dowry.

When Mu Qingyu walked into the room, Qin Shu didn't even notice that there was someone in the room.

Qin Shu was holding a needle and thread in her hand, so Mu Qingyu winked at Qin Shu's maid, Zhu'er, for fear of scaring her.

But Pearl too was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she paid no attention to the visitor.

Mu Qingyu was even more puzzled.

It was Mo Zhu who brought tea and walked to Qin Shu's side.

"Miss, take a sip of tea and take a rest." Mo Zhu whispered.

Qin Shu's hands stopped, she raised her head, and let out a long breath.

It was when she raised her head that people could clearly see the tears on her face.

"Sister, why are you crying?" Mu Qingyu stepped forward and asked.

Qin Shu's eyes widened, "Why are you here?"

"I came to deliver something to my sister, and why is my sister crying?"

Qin Shu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. You brought me something, show me."

Mu Qingyu asked Mo Zhu to remove the silk handkerchief covering his head.

Qin Shu's eyes lit up, and after looking at it for a while, she said, "This must have cost you a lot of money."

"Money is small, but what matters is my heart." Mu Qingyu thanked him.

When Mu Qingyu said this, Qin Shu couldn't refuse.

"Okay, then I'll accept it." Qin Shu said emotionally.

"My sister can say now, why are you crying? And why did you say those things when the first aunt was in the third aunt's room?" Mu Qingyu asked all of a sudden.

Qin Shu forced a smile, "You ask so many questions, where should I answer them?"

"Why don't you ask your servant to talk about it?" Zhu'er said proactively.

"It's the eldest lady. When I want my young lady to marry into Zhang's family, take Miss Seven with her."
