The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

It's just that some people are happy and some are sad.

Originally, Shen Rulan thought Mrs. Yueyao was on her side.

I also heard that Xu Yaqin took the initiative to mention the fate of the late madam in front of Qingdu Hou.

Shen Rulan couldn't hold back her laughter and was gloating beside her.

Let's see how the Marquis will get angry and deal with this concubine who doesn't know the sky.

But now, take a closer look at this scene.

Shen Rulan was shocked and turned pale.

Why is this so different from what I imagined?

It’s not that Marquis Qingdu and Mrs. Leng Neng love each other to the death.

Is there no other woman in my heart?

According to Mrs. Yueyao, Mrs. Leng used to host the young master's birthday party.

But now it is handed over to Xu Yaqin, isn't it explained from the side.

Xu Yaqin's status is equivalent to...the matron's wife? !

When she thought of this, Shen Rulan couldn't help but feel scared.

She had finally put in so much effort and wanted to show off her strengths and advantages in front of the Marquis.

But in the end, she actually made a wedding dress for someone else.

As soon as Xu Yaqin made a move, she pressed herself to the ground and rubbed it.

Who can endure this?

But seeing everyone making such suggestions, in front of so many people.

No matter how uncomfortable Shen Rulan felt, she couldn't show it. She could only forcefully squeeze out a smile from the corner of her mouth.

Followed by the crowd cheering beside him.

Why? Did he agree?

When Xu Yaqin heard the good news, her eyes were a little confused at first, but then she came to her senses.

He nodded with joy and said quickly:

"Of course I'm satisfied, of course I'm satisfied."

Afterwards, the hall of the Hou Mansion was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

After talking about this, Sheng Yue wanted to take his wife to reminisce about the past.

But Mrs. Yueyao obviously does not have this ambition.

She casually gave a reason and replied to Sheng Yue perfunctorily.

Then he walked towards Xu Yaqin with a smile on his face.

It was obviously the first time we met.

But Mrs. Yueyao behaved like a sister.

Deliberately showing off his state in front of Shen Rulan.

Before Xu Yaqin could speak, she pulled Xu Yaqin.

Let her take him around the Hou Mansion.

Telling about the many new and interesting things that happened in the house during his absence these days.

The two clan elders saw that the crisis in the Hou Mansion was not only eliminated, but turned into a happy event.

His face had long bloomed with joy, his mood had also relaxed, and he ran away to be happy and happy.

Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Except Shen Rulan.

She originally thought that Mrs. Yueyao would be able to perform well in front of her, draw her into her camp, and draw her into her own camp.

Fortunately, in the future confrontation with Xu Yaqin, I will gain a favorable bargaining chip.

But I didn't expect that the plan collapsed before it even started.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Yueyao and this Xu Yaqin would be so compatible.

As soon as they entered the house, the two of them were as good as sisters.

Especially the Marquis, who actually agreed to give Xu Yaqin an important task.

Host the young master’s birthday party!

This matter is really the bottom line that Shen Rulan cannot accept.

As soon as she returned to the room, she looked a little cold.

The maid on the side saw her wife happily going to the hall of the Hou Mansion.

After coming back, he said nothing and remained silent.

Just as he was about to go up and ask what happened, he caught a glimpse of Shen Rulan's unusually cold eyes.

He was immediately startled.

He quickly shut his mouth, closed the door, and quietly stood outside the door.

Then I heard a crackling sound coming from the room.

It was obvious that his wife, Shen Rulan, was angry.

I don't know what was thrown in the room. Use this to express your dissatisfaction.

In the following days, there was relative peace in the Hou Mansion.

Although Shen Rulan was secretly still holding back her breath with Xu Yaqin.

But Mrs. Yueyao was not here before.

Although she can be a demon, she boldly displays her machinations.

But now Mrs. Yueyao returns home.

It is not Shen Rulan's turn to point fingers at the affairs of the concubines and wives in the Hou Mansion.

Of course, Mrs. Yueyao takes care of all the big and small things.

Shen Rulan's status gradually dimmed.

Correspondingly, Xu Yaqin's favor gradually increased.

All concubines and ladies can clearly see this trend.

Therefore, many of the concubines and wives who used to be like sisters to Shen Rulan and had good relations with her now all ignored her.

I rushed to curry favor with Mrs. Yueyao and Xu Yaqin.

A moment of comparison.

Shen Rulan's door seemed particularly lonely.

Speaking of which, these concubine ladies are really easy to adapt to the changing circumstances.

It's really like following whoever is good.

But that's just human nature.

Shen Rulan didn't pay too much attention to this.

But the anger in his eyes became more intense.

Strange to say, Mrs. Yueyao also pointed out what Shen Rulan would do if he jumped over the wall in a hurry.

So that he could seize the opportunity and find a reason to expel her from the Hou Mansion.

But Mrs. Yueyao thought differently.

Not only is Shen Rulan's favor dim these days, but her behavior is also very in line with the rules, and there is no fault at all.

The whole person looks very well-behaved and doesn't look like he's going to cause trouble.

Mrs. Yueyao's brows gradually wrinkled when she thought of this, and she even kept muttering to herself:

"Am I wrong in my suspicion, judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?"

"This Mrs. Shen is really a law-abiding person..."

Soon after, the rewards from His Majesty and the Empress in the palace also followed.

On this day, the carriages and horses in the Tiangong slowly stopped in front of the Qingdu Hou Mansion.

The father-in-law who announced the decree walked into the hall of the Hou Mansion.

The Marquis of Qingdu, Sheng Yue, and everyone from the Marquis Mansion are already waiting here.

Xu Yaqin and Sheng Lixuan stood together and saluted respectfully.

Waiting for the imperial edict to be read quietly by the father-in-law.

The father-in-law's voice was sharp, and he looked at Xu Yaqin with a look of approval in his eyes.

"Your Majesty has an order. Xu Yaqin, the concubine of the Marquis of Qingdu Mansion, has a gentle character and superb medical skills."

"I am very pleased to be cured of the Queen's stubborn illness."

"The Marquis of Qingdu, Sheng Lixuan, has meritorious service in his election, and now he is bestowed upon the Marquis of Qingdu's Mansion 10,000 gold coins. Five hundred more households have been added to the fiefdom! There are also countless gold, silver, and jade articles."

When the father-in-law said this, he paused.

Sheng Lixuan thought that the decree had been read out.

Just as he was about to stand up, his hands were already raised.

He shouted: "Thank you..."

He hasn't said the next words yet.

The father-in-law moistened his throat again, then read out the imperial edict and said:

"Master Marquis, don't worry, I haven't finished reading this decree yet."

"Oh, I am a little abrupt."

Sheng Lixuan looked at this somewhat embarrassing scene and could only smile.

After the father-in-law read the imperial edict.

It’s not just Sheng Lixuan and Xu Yaqin.

Everyone present was a little shocked.

"What...Mrs. Gaoming?"

This huge pie from the sky made Xu Yaqin really dizzy.

She just made a little effort and wrote a prescription.

Unexpectedly, I got an official job.

This reward is a bit too big...
