Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 1 Situation
Su Wan looked at herself in the dowry mirror, with slender eyebrows and long eyelashes, double pupils with water-cut eyes, a protruding nose, plain teeth and vermilion lips, plus a body of icy muscles and bones, she looked like an unparalleled beauty.

It's a pity that this beauty's life is too thin, and she died in less than twenty years, so she took advantage of her.

Just when Su Wan was sighing in her heart, the soft flower curtain in the bedroom was lifted, and a maid wearing a light green bijia and a bright yellow skirt walked in. Seeing that Su Wan had already stood up, a trace of surprise flashed across her face. .

Immediately, he walked over with a smile and said: "Madam is awake, servant girl will help you wash and wash."

From memory, I learned that this is the chief maid beside her, named Lu Fu, who is the most calm and cautious, and even takes care of her gold and silver hairpin rings and other things. She is her chief financial officer and is very trusted by the original owner.

In addition to her, there are three other first-class girls, Zijing, Hongxiong and Qingling, who are in charge of bathing and dressing, spices and clothing, needlework women's red, etc., and there are also second-class and third-class girls.

Lu Fu asked the little maid to fetch water, and she personally helped Su Wan wash her face, wash her face, put on makeup and comb her hair.

At this moment, the other three big girls also arrived.

"Hey, Sister Lufu is really diligent. I was just a little late, and you even stole my job. No wonder my wife trusts you the most!"

The one who spoke was a woman in autumn fragrance, with bright looks, tall eyebrows, and sharp words.

Lu Fu frowned, and said calmly: "It's you who got up late. I haven't blamed you for negligence of duty, but you have blamed me. Also, in front of your wife, you are not allowed to yell, it is disrespectful. "

Bauhinia glanced at Su Wan lightly, snorted coldly with disdain, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Lufu shook her head slightly, not being as knowledgeable as her, picked up a gold phoenix hairpin with pearls and put it on Su Wan's hairpin, and took another pink sagong flower, pinning it on her temples.She looked at Su Wan for a while, and then asked Hongxiao to take the peach-red flowered long jacket, the powder-blue jacket with a stand-up collar, and the silver-red embroidered satin skirt that had been smoked long ago, and put them on for Su Wan herself, and then she stopped. down.

At this time, Su Wan, who had been dressed up, looked more and more charming than a flower, and she gave way with embarrassment.

"My wife is so beautiful, even if I search the whole house, I'm afraid I won't be able to find another one." Hongxiao looked at Su Wan and said enviously.If she had the appearance of a madam, she would not have to worry about it in her next life.

"What's the use of being beautiful, it's just a hen that can't lay eggs." Bauhinia blew on her newly dyed red nails, and said with some envy and disdain.

"Shut up Bauhinia!" Lu Fu scolded coldly, looking at her with anger and warning.

"Am I wrong? Why did you tell me to shut up?" Zijing retorted angrily and refused to give in. "You are not nobler than me, but you actually puffed up my wife's money in front of me. It's really funny."

"You insulted your wife with rude words, are you justifiable?" Lu Fu said with a smile back angrily.

"How did I insult her? I'm telling the truth. Others don't know her details, don't you? Could it be that you really regard her as your serious master? Don't forget how Her Highness the Eldest Princess Commanded."

"You..." Even though Lu Fu was calm, she was so angry that she fell on her back. She took a deep breath and said to Zijing, "Of course I have not forgotten His Highness's instructions, but His Highness did not let you treat me wrong." The wife is disrespectful."

Zijing choked for a moment, then snorted coldly: "What's wrong with me being disrespectful to her, what can you do to me?"

Snapped--

As soon as she finished speaking, a loud slap landed on her face, leaving a few red finger marks.

Bauhinia covered her face reflexively, her eyes widened, she looked at Su Wan like a ghost, and said tremblingly, "You... how dare you hit me?"

Su Wan calmly withdrew her numb hand, and said coldly: "She can't do anything to you, I can always teach you a lesson! If you are not convinced, you can go and complain to your master, and I will never stop you. But now , Immediately, immediately kneel in the courtyard outside, and don’t get up without my order, unless you want to be kicked out of the house.”

"How dare you!" Zijing burst out two words between her teeth.

"You dare to point your nose and scold me, why don't I dare to deal with you? Even if I am poor and unfavorable, I am still a decent Mrs. Hou, so you can't let yourself be presumptuous here!" Su Wan said with a sneer.

Bauhinia didn't say a word, but stared at her bitterly.

"Get lost!" Seeing that Bauhinia was indifferent, Su Wan scolded again.

Bauhinia was startled and angry, hated and frightened, her complexion turned blue and white at the same time, she didn't dare to confront Su Wan head-on, and finally stomped her feet in resentment, turned around and left.

The other three were also frightened into silence, and stood aside with low eyebrows.

Su Wan glanced at the three of them, and said calmly: "People's patience has a limit. You must know that rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry. If she is not too much, I will not punish her. As long as you keep your principles I will not do anything to you. But on the contrary, if you point at Sang, scold Huai, or sneer, I will not show mercy. Even in front of the eldest princess, I said the same, do you remember?"

"Yes, the servants have made a note." The three of them squatted down together and said.

At this time, a second-class girl named Liandong came in and said: "Return to Madam, the three ladies are here to greet you."

"Let them in!" Su Wan said as she came out of the bedroom to Xici Room, and sat down on the big kang under the south window.She also wanted to meet her three cheap daughters.

She is now the step-wife of Marquis Changwu, and she has been married for less than a year, and she and the Marquis are newlyweds, but she is not favored. more than ten times.Without love, let alone a prominent natal family and a generous dowry, the situation in the Hou Mansion can be described as difficult.

Marquis Changwu has three sons and three daughters in total. The eldest daughter Huo Lingyun and the second young master Huo Jia from the original marriage of the Su family; Huo Ming, the fifth young master, and Huo Lingfang, the sixth young lady born to Aunt Chen.Now there is another Aunt Yu who is pregnant, and it really is a group of wives, concubines and children.

While Su Wan was thinking, she heard light footsteps coming from outside, and then, the soft flower curtain in the Xici room was lifted by the girl beside her, and three girls carved in pink and jade came in one file at a time.

The leading girl is about nine years old, wearing a pale pink satin embroidered red chrysanthemum collar, and a red gold necklace with double blessing locks on her chest. She has bright eyes and white teeth, and has an extraordinary bearing. It was Huo Lingyun, the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion.

The girl behind her was only seven years old, with a delicate face and quite arrogant, also wearing a gold collar, was Third Miss Huo Lingrui.
