Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 138 Clearing the Portal 15
Shen Rui frowned slightly, although she had always been so indifferent to him, but from her indifferent words, he seemed to hear the hidden dissatisfaction.

He didn't know whether Wei Zijin was dissatisfied with himself for pampering Lianqiao, or dissatisfied with his punishment of Zhuang'er too lightly. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said with a faint smile: "I am the head of the family, and you are also the head of the house. If you make a mistake, how to deal with it is up to you to decide, I will not interfere..."

Only then did Wei Zijin raise his eyes to look at Shen Rui, and asked thoughtfully: "Isn't the master afraid that my concubine will use power for personal gain and deal with it improperly?"

The corners of Shen Rui's lips curled slightly, and he looked deeply at Wei Zijin, his eyes full of trust: "I believe in you!"

There is no need to say anything else, everything is contained in the four words "I believe in you".After Wei Zijin was stunned for a moment, he lowered his eyes to hide the flash of self-deprecation in them.

Do you believe her... But she herself feels that whether she punishes the servants or deters other people in the mansion, her methods become more ruthless every time. Obstacles too!

Shen Rui's words were heard by Lin Xueyao at the side.She glanced at Wei Zijin with jealousy, and didn't understand why Wei Zijin was favored by Master Shangshu in a blink of an eye, and even trusted her to manage all the affairs of the Shangshu Mansion!
Now that her left arm and right arm have been pulled out by Wei Zijin, she hates thinking about it, and finally found a forsythia that can divert Shang Shu's attention, but was punished by Wei Zijin again!

Thinking of this, Lin Xueyao looked at Wei Zijin with even more hatred, but she didn't expect Wei Zijin to cast a cold glance at her. There was warning in his sharp eyes, as if he had seen through all this long ago.

Lin Xueyao was startled inwardly, and she hurriedly looked away guiltily to avoid meeting Wei Zijin's gaze.

Wei Zijin looked coldly at Lin Xueyao's changing face, knowing that she would not just let it go, and said to Shen Rui: "Since the master trusts me so much, I should be worthy of the position of housekeeper. The mansion has been in trouble for a while. There are a lot of incidents, and I plan to rectify them and clean up the house, what do you think, Master Shangshu?"

"It's up to you!" Shen Rui now only hoped that Wei Zijin would get closer to him, and he could trust her in her ability as a housekeeper, so he nodded in agreement almost without thinking.

With Shen Rui's approval, Wei Zijin's expression softened, and he stroked his empty stomach and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back to Lixiangyuan before I have dinner..."

As soon as Shen Rui heard that she hadn't eaten so late, she cast a reproachful glance at the maid beside her, and said with pity: "It's so late that she hasn't eaten yet, don't starve to death, I'll accompany you back home Lixiangyuan have dinner together..."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Wei Zijin's answer, he asked Qing'er to order the kitchen to prepare more meals, and then walked towards Lixiangyuan with Wei Zijin.

Seeing Shen Rui come back, Lin Xueyao didn't even pay attention to herself, and couldn't help shouting at his back: "Master, I have something to tell you!"

"What's the matter?" Shen Rui stopped and asked impatiently.

"It's about Forsythia..." Lin Xueyao originally wanted to mention Forsythia, and let Shen Rui remember that she once favored Forsythia for one night. Unexpectedly, when Shen Rui heard this name, his face darkened, and he waved his hands and said, "I'm tired." Let’s talk about it tomorrow!”
