The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

"Mrs. Shen?" Shen Rulan didn't move at all.

Zhu Huixin looked a little ugly, but she tried her best to keep her smile and repeated it in a calm tone.

At this time, Shen Rulan still made no move, not paying any attention to Zhu Huixin's toast.

On the other hand, the concubines and ladies sitting on the left and right sides raised their hands together, slowly brought them to their mouths, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, isn't this Mrs. Zhu?"

"In the Qingdu Houfu these days, no one knows that you and Mrs. Xu are the closest."

"Why can't Mrs. Xu come here tonight since she is taking care of the young master? Then Mrs. Zhu, instead of Mrs. Xu, toast to Mrs. Shen, don't you think so?"

"That's right, I think it should be so!"

"Now Mrs. Shen has received the order from the Marquis to take charge of the concubines in our Qingdu Marquis' Mansion."

"Mrs. Zhu should respect her no matter what. Of course we cannot neglect these rules and etiquette."

Shen Rulan smiled calmly at this time, suddenly stretched out her hand, slowly lifted Zhu Huixin's heart arm, and then said:

"Mrs. Zhu, don't mind."

"Madams, you are just talking nonsense out of your heart. Come on, since Madam Zhu is toasting, of course I want to drink."

Zhu Huixin originally thought that Shen Rulan would think of other tricks to make things difficult for her.

But at a glance, she actually excused herself.

For a moment, I didn’t know what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.

But the concubine's wife's words had already put her on the fire.

Zhu Huixin paused, her expression changed, and she suddenly said:

"No, Mrs. Shen."

"What you ladies are saying is that since Mrs. Xu is not here, I will have the guts to propose a toast to you on Mrs. Xu's behalf."

"Please accept it, Mrs. Shen."

Zhu Huixin had no other choice but to bite the bullet.

Now even Qingduhou has spoken.

The concubine's wife's affairs have been managed by Shen Rulan.

No matter how well she and Mrs. Xu play.

Mrs. Xu's status is pampered and her status is noble.

Shen Rulan didn't dare to operate on her.

But Zhu Huixin herself was not noticeable in this concubine's room.

If Shen Rulan takes all her anger out on herself...

Zhu Hui couldn't even imagine how difficult her life would be in this prince's mansion in the future.

For now, we can only bow to the evil forces temporarily.

Although Shen Rulan didn't say it, Zhu Huixin could sense it.

You must drink this wine yourself.

So even though she was very drunk, she had to make an exception today.

When Shen Rulan heard that Zhu Huixin was so aware of current affairs, her mind became bright, and her expression and tone softened a lot.

She smiled slightly and then reluctantly picked up the wine glass.

"Mrs. Zhu doesn't have to be like this. What is Mrs. Xu's status? If we want to toast, we must also toast to her."

"How can I be so virtuous as a concubine? I can win Mrs. Xu's toast. Mrs. Zhu, do you think this is true?"

Only then did Zhu Huixin realize what Xu Yaqin meant by the reminder before.

It seems that Shen Rulan is not only good at being clever.

And double-dealing.

One set on the surface and another on the back.

This kind of person is the most annoying.

It's you who makes people toast.

Are you the one who said no one should toast?

How do you want people to be satisfied?

No matter how good-tempered Zhu Huixin is, she will inevitably have some angry emotions at this time.

But she couldn't let it out just yet in this situation.

He just kept the smile on his face calmly and said slowly:

"Actually, Mrs. Xu has already asked her not to come in her spare time."

"It's natural for me to propose a toast to you, Mrs. Shen. Madam, what are these words?"

When Shen Rulan heard this reason, it seemed reasonable.

He nodded reluctantly and took a sip of wine.

Zhu Huixin slowly sat down in her seat.

This farce has finally come to an end for the time being.

After that, Shen Rulan slowly glanced at the concubines and ladies present.

Seeing each of them talking down to me with smiles on their faces, I felt so unsatisfied. But Shen Rulan knows how to exercise discretion.

At this time, you need to stay calm.

So as not to leave a bad impression in front of the Marquis.

Otherwise, I would have just taken over the housework of the Hou Mansion.

She didn't want to be known as a proud and proud person.

Therefore, Shen Rulan still spoke out to hit the ladies.

He warned them that although they had him as their backer, they still had to live in harmony when acting in this prince's mansion.

Never cause trouble.

Shen Rulan's tone deepened and she said:

"Everyone, since the Marquis loves me and asks me to take charge of the affairs of this female family, I will ask all the ladies to take care of me in the future."

"If you can talk about anything, just talk about it and try not to cause any conflicts."

"The Marquis takes care of many things every day, and now he is highly regarded in front of His Majesty."

"We just need to live peacefully and not cause trouble to the Marquis."

"Do you understand?"

The ladies looked at each other and their expressions changed slightly.

They all looked at Shen Rulan and saluted respectfully:

"Mrs. Shen, I remember, I remember."

"Well, that's good."

"Come, Mrs. Zhu. I'm happy today. Please drink two more drinks with me."

After saying that, Shen Rulan looked at Zhu Huixin.

With a look from her, the personal maid had already stepped forward.

Filled Zhu Huixin's wine glass with wine.

Seeing Mrs. Shen in such a low profile.

Even if Zhu Huixin was a little drunk, she couldn't escape.

I can only hold my nose and drink it in one gulp.

Shen Rulan nodded with satisfaction.

But this is just an appetizer.

The real main course is yet to come.

After that, the specific process of the banquet is generally as follows:

All the concubines took turns toasting to Zhu Huixin.

It seemed that their purpose was to make Mrs. Zhu drunk.

Finally after three rounds of drinking.

Zhu Huixin's face turned slightly red after drinking, and she was a little confused when speaking.

The whole person gradually became more lively.

This made the personal maid who was standing next to Zhu Huixin, serving her, look worried for a moment.

At this time, Shen Rulan saw this scene and knew that the time was almost up.

She spoke calmly again, and suggested to the ladies on a whim:

"Everyone, today's banquet is very happy. How can we just drink wine? We still need some singing and dancing to add to the fun."

"I wonder which lady would be willing to perform a dance to add to the fun?"

All the concubines and ladies laughed together.

It seemed that he had discussed it with Shen Rulan in advance.

Soon, she finished speaking.

Then a concubine with a better appearance stood up.

He cast a malicious glance at Zhu Huixin, who was already drunk.

"Mrs. Shen, I think Mrs. Zhu's dancing is quite famous in Yandu City."

"At today's banquet, Mrs. Zhu should perform a dance."

"It can also open your eyes, don't you think?"

After she finished speaking, her voice rose a little higher.

Asked left and right.

The concubines and ladies on the left and right nodded and clapped their hands in approval.

He quickly echoed:

"Yes, I agree with this proposal. I should let Mrs. Zhu perform a dance!"

Everyone booed.

Zhu Huixin was already a little delirious from drinking.
