Chapter 331 Bai Kou Didn't Teach Bad People
Zhou Shihua smiled.

"You have a sweet mouth, girl."

"This young lady is not only beautiful, but she is also full of jewels. The hairpin on her head alone is enviable. I have never seen such a thing before my wife."

Bai Kou's compliment made Zhou Shihua feel very happy, with a look of satisfaction on his face, he raised his hand to touch his hairpin.

"This is a dowry gift for engagement. It's so-so, but it's really nothing."

"Wow! Such a generous hairpin is given as a betrothal gift. I'm so envious! The man's family really knows how to choose. This hairpin matches the lady's temperament very well. When you pass the door, you will definitely be their most precious daughter-in-law."

Zhou Shihua suddenly became shy, her face flushed, and even her maid and mother-in-law smiled kindly, their young lady's marriage was the most proud of them.

Bai Kou even presented a box of glutinous rice cakes that she just bought, and opened the box for Zhou Shihua to eat.

"Miss, if you don't dislike it, try a piece? The level of snacks here is quite good."

"No need, I'm not hungry. Yuanhe Palace's temple fair snacks are quite famous, so eat more if you like." Zhou Shihua took a step back with disgust when he saw the sweet and greasy glutinous rice cake.

"It turns out that the young lady is already full, but the servant girl is abrupt. She must have eaten a lot, right? Hehe, you can tell by the way you stand."

When Bai Kou said this innocently and cutely, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Shihua's body and looked him up and down, but in this midwinter season, the clothes were thick and nothing could be seen.

Everyone thought Bai Kou was talking nonsense, but Zhou Shihua's expression changed unnaturally and he pretended to be calm, with a slightly stiff smile.

"Yeah, I came earlier, I ate a lot, I'm too full to eat, and I'm going home."

"Miss, so you are going back? You told the maid to delay the time of the lady. You take a few more steps. Don't rush to get in the car. If you are full, you will be bumped all the way by the car. Your stomach will be uncomfortable when you get home."

"You know a lot at such a young age, okay, I'll listen to you this time."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Bai Kou bowed and stepped back.

Zhou Shihua's previous aura was blown away by Bai Kou's interruption, and he had nothing to say, so he nodded and said goodbye, and left with his subordinates.

Shao Xinwei's group watched Zhou Shihua go away in a daze, and then turned back to look at Bai Kou in a uniform manner. She was taking a piece of glutinous rice cake from the box and eating it with big mouthfuls.

"Bai Kou, why did you talk so much nonsense just now?" Ning Peilan asked curiously.

"Didn't that lady mock you for having a good appetite, but didn't she admit that she ate too much to support herself?"

"Ah? Is that an admission? That's being polite."

"It doesn't matter if she's being polite or not, in short, she said it herself, and it's a loud self-slap in the face. Next time you meet, you can repay her with this."

Immediately, the three ladies laughed non-stop with the girls and women.

"Do you think she has a quick mind? Just by meeting her face to face, she can use words to trick people." Ning Peilan giggled at the sisters.

"Otherwise, how could she be able to be the steward of Gu Yun's son at such a young age? She deserves to be the chief steward." Yu Xianhui and Shao Xinwei were both envious and admired.

"Actually, the servant girl doesn't even know the identity of that young lady just now." Bai Kou handed the glutinous rice cake box to a girl and took out her handkerchief to wipe her hands.

"That person's name is Zhou Shihua, and she is the daughter of the fourth-rank Zuo Tongzheng of the Secretary of the General Administration." Ning Peilan looked at Shao Xinwei, who smiled slightly, and Ning Peilan continued, "Zhou Shihua's fiance is Peng Yongping, the son of the third-rank right servant of the Ministry of Officials. The Peng family originally hesitated between the Shao and Zhou families, but our Xinwei was injured during the Lantern Festival, and finally the Peng family chose Zhou Shihua."

"Son and daughter marriage, two marriages, what about buying vegetables at the vegetable market? Who buys at a discount? Is there such a picky daughter-in-law?" Bai Kou's eyes widened.

The girls were amused by Bai Kou, laughing so hard that they couldn't even hold the snacks in their hands.

"Forget it, it's not a secret, and it's just embarrassing for me to say it." Shao Xinwei waved her hand.

"It's very pitiful to lose a marriage, but there's no point in tolerating that Miss Zhou bullying you. She shows off her ambition in front of you. Why do you continue to tolerate it?"

"I don't want to put up with her either, but I really don't know how to retort, not to mention it's not good to quarrel in a public place." Shao Xinwei frowned.

"If you don't quarrel, it will also make her unable to step down." Bai Kou vowed.

"Officer Bai, our lady has never been stupid and has never blushed with anyone, if you have any way to teach our lady." Shao Xinwei's girls and women immediately surrounded her.

"Yes, yes, yes, teach us some good words of reciprocation, and we can also learn how to turn against others without swearing." Yu Xianhui pulled Ning Peilan to join Shao Xinwei.

"Hey, let me ask you a little bit first, what kind of ostentatious behaviors did that Miss Zhou have? Who did she target?"

"Of course it's mainly aimed at our Xinwei. It's strange to say, as long as it is a place where Xinwei will go, that Zhou Shihua will definitely be there, and she will still wear that hairpin."

"That's right, Xinwei has difficulty walking. Since she recovered from her broken bones and was able to walk until now, she hasn't gone out more than five times, but whether it's a rare trip for her or a banquet at her house, that Zhou Shihua is there every time. Wearing that hairpin, telling people how her dowry is going."

Yu Xianhui and Ning Peilan said together.

"Well, from the eyes of ordinary people, this is indeed a targeted show off." Bai Kou clapped his fists.

"It was." A group of women said in unison.

"Then, think about it, everyone. She has already got a good marriage as she wished, so why does she show off frequently in front of her former competitors? Even if this old opponent is no longer capable of snatching her fiancé away?"

"Yes, why?" Everyone was waiting for Bai Kou's next words like eager children.

"Actually, the servant girl doesn't know what she thinks."

"Ah?!" Everyone wanted to beat Bai Kou to death.

"But!" Bai Kou quickly threw out a solution before everyone punched her down, "There is a way to fight back!"

"Say it!"

"Miss Shao Wu, let's put on a show. You pretend to be Miss Zhou, and the servant girl pretends to be you. Now you come to learn her words, just learn a few of her most annoying words."

"Well, she said, 'There is a set of jewelry like this in the dowry gift from their family, and my hairpin is just one of them, you are so damned, if you don't get hurt, these are all yours'. And so on."

"Oh." Bai Kou nodded lightly, then looked at Shao Xinwei.

"She also said, 'Mrs. Peng sent the best tailor in the capital to my house to measure and make my wedding dress. Alas, these were originally yours'."

"Oh." Bai Kou nodded calmly again, biting her chin to ask Shao Xinwei to continue.

"What else is 'A few days ago I went to a carpenter dealer to look at the dowry. I was dazzled by the wood. They are all good things'."

"Oh."

"Why are you always oh oh oh?"

"It means that I am listening to you. Have you finished? If you haven't finished speaking, you can continue. If you have finished speaking, don't hinder me from chatting with others."

"Huh?! I, I'm done."

Shao Xinwei didn't react, and answered directly.
