Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 165 Killing chickens to warn monkeys ([-])
Gu Qinglian's foresight and intuition are quite accurate sometimes, and for Liu Xu, Gu Qinglian's premonition finally became a reality.

Liu Xu is naturally diligent in serving her husband, but she also serves her mother-in-law respectfully.

Every morning and evening, please do not say goodbye, since Mrs. Shen opened her eyes in the morning, she has been by her side and served her.When Mrs. Shen ate, she stood and served dishes. When Mrs. Shen drank tea, she tried the hot and cold first. After Mrs. Shen washed her face, she brought a basin of handkerchiefs. Complaining, but laughing at Yanyan, as if it is such a pleasure to serve Mrs. Shen.

At the beginning, Mrs. Shen had always been indifferent to her, and occasionally she deliberately caused trouble for this daughter-in-law, to show off her power, and treat her coldly, to see if she was sincere and how long she could last.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xu could handle it perfectly, and could not find a single fault at all. Sometimes when Mrs. Shen had nothing to say to find fault, Liu Xu also accepted it sincerely, and thanked Mrs. Shen for her guidance with a grateful expression, with a sincere expression , the attitude is so submissive, covering Mrs. Shen's heart warmly, the dissatisfaction with her has long been thrown into the sky.

After a few days of luck, Mrs. Shen's attitude towards Liu Xu has completely turned 180 degrees. She is full of smiles every day, Xu'er is long and Xu'er is short, and she is so affectionate!

Liu Xu's careful service not only won the high approval of Mrs. Shen, but even the elderly mothers and mothers in the mansion saw her and gave her thumbs up to praise her.While admiring Liu Xu, everyone couldn't help secretly ridiculing Gu Qinglian, the eldest young mistress, and saying how unfilial she was, and so on, rumors gradually increased.

The Haitang courtyard was still as cold as ever, and Gu Qinglian was still as usual, lazy all day long, she didn't know how the people in the house were talking about her, but according to her temperament, she didn't bother to care about it, let alone feel guilty.

Gu Qinglian heard from Fangxin how Liu Xu devoted herself to serving Mrs. Shen and Shen Congjia, how she won Mrs. Shen's favor, rewarded her with many valuable things, and the servants in the house chewed her tongue behind her back. And so on, after her tone seemed to be aggrieved for her, she said lightly without frowning: "Mrs. Shen really got what she wanted, and we should be happy to have a filial daughter-in-law. Gossip like this will be discussed later. You don’t need to hear it in my ears anymore.”

It is a good thing for someone to be filial to his parents-in-law for him!She could be at her ease!

Fangxin looked at Gu Qinglian's calm and indifferent look, although she felt a little resentful, she gave up.

Although Mrs. Shen has three daughters-in-law, Gu Qinglian, Aunt Ding, and Aunt Wang, she didn't think much about her daughter-in-law's blessings before, but now she has Liu Xu, which is a good thing.

Liu Xu got her favor, and Gu Qinglian lived her life.

As for Shen Congjia, Gu Qinglian is more emotionally resistant and evasive towards him.

She understands her true feelings for him. Modern people are different from ancient people, and they are still relatively high in terms of emotional intelligence.But she happens to be extremely cowardly in the emotional world.

Anyway, now that catkins are pestering him, he probably doesn't have time to torment himself.

Gu Qinglian thought about it, thinking that with Liu Xu sharing her worries, she would be able to be alone and live her free life.

Finally, on the night of the fifth day of May, the dream was completely shattered.

The Dragon Boat Festival is not a big festival, but Mrs. Shen was happy, so she specially ordered the kitchen to prepare a feast, so that it would be lively.

The whole family gathers together to have a reunion dinner and celebrate a lively festival. Naturally, no one can be absent. As the eldest mistress of the Shen family, Gu Qinglian has to prepare a banquet.

Fangxin originally wanted to choose a more flamboyant dress, but Gu Qinglian thought it was troublesome to wear, so she only chose a homely style.

The whole family gets together to have a meal, why bother to dress up beautifully!
It seemed like she had been out of favor for a long time, and she was going to win her favor in front of her husband. Isn't it tiring!
Ever since Gu Qinglian traveled through time, she has been afraid of the three-layer clothing, which is heavy and unaffordable.

Now it's early summer again, it's rare to be cool at night, and I'm wearing so thick, I'm not making trouble for myself!

She chose to wear a light blue long dress, with an ordinary bun on her head, and a jade hairpin. Although it was simple, it was elegant.Bringing Fangxin and a little maid to the main room early to see if there is anything to arrange, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, so for occasions like family banquets, it is natural to arrange and arrange them in person.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw a slender and graceful figure fluttering back and forth, commanding this and ordering that, very busy.

"Young Mistress, look, how good is this arrangement?" A voice like a silver bell floated over, and Liu Xu stood gracefully in front of Gu Qinglian, asking her with a flowery smile on her face.

"Very good, my sister will do it for you."

"The eldest young mistress is flattering, you and my sister, why bother to say such unreasonable things."

"Second Young Mistress, where is this?" A servant asked blankly holding a pot of kumquats.

"Just put it next to the chair."

"Second Young Mistress..." The servants asked Liu Xu one after another, Gu Qinglian saw that she was unnecessary, so she signaled Liu Xu to go to work, and she led the maids back out, and came to the courtyard to admire the flowers.

With her help, I can really feel at ease!Gu Qinglian was secretly thankful that she didn't bother arranging a dinner party when she happened to bump into Mrs. Shen.

"How's the dinner arrangement going?"

"Sister Liu Xu is making arrangements in the room, please don't worry, mother."

Mrs. Shen glanced at Gu Qinglian, feeling very dissatisfied.This daughter-in-law is even more lazy now.

Gu Qinglian was used to seeing the sarcastic remarks of this ancient mother-in-law, so she didn't care, and started enjoying it on her own.

The whole family finally arrived, and they took their seats according to their seniority.During the banquet, Liu Xu served attentively, serving dishes and pouring wine, and did not dare to neglect for a moment.This made Aunt Wang and Aunt Ding feel ashamed.Firstly, they couldn't interfere at all, and secondly, Mrs. Shen also looked down on them. Now that they had a living example by their side, it made them really uncomfortable, so they just lowered their heads and ate food in silence.Gu Qinglian looked disapproving, ate the food and wine in a big way, and from time to time praised Liu Xu for her good service and extremely filial piety!

Shen Congjia kept looking at her coldly, his eyes were deep and bottomless, as if he wanted to see a hole in Gu Qinglian.

It's all right that I don't look like a competent eldest daughter-in-law, but I'm still boasting like this, it's really rotten wood!
Gu Qinglian caught a glimpse of Shen Congjia staring at her expressionlessly, and there were three large characters in her eyes—cheeky!

Scumbag, what are you looking at!Someone is taking care of your mother, at least give the person who serves you a smile!

Why are you staring at me!
That pig iron look all day, like everyone owes you money!Facial paralysis!

Ignoring the cynicism in Shen Congjia's eyes, Gu Qinglian raised her hand to pick up a large piece of sea cucumber from the green onion sea cucumber dish in front of him and put it into her mouth, deliberately chewing with an exaggerated intoxicated expression of tasting jade liquid wine.

Gu Qinglian glared at him contentedly.You deserve it!

Isn't it often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul?

Gu Qinglian's big black eyes were full of hope, extremely flexible.Seeing her exaggerated expression, Shen Congjia's heart trembled, and a strange feeling surged up.Such a mischievous and cute Gu Qinglian actually has a strange style.

Shen Congjia picked up the wine glass and drank it down, his cold eyes became sentimental, and a rare smile appeared on his blunt face.

After the banquet was over, Mrs. Shen looked at Liu Xu, who was busy like a wheel, and said slowly: "It seems that my luck has finally come. I thought I was not a daughter-in-law."

These words were so profound that the daughter-in-laws broke into cold sweat immediately.

Mrs. Shen's words hit Gu Qinglian's heart word by word. What did she not understand? Mrs. Shen's words clearly meant to humiliate her for being unfilial.

After hearing Mrs. Shen's words, Aunt Wang and Aunt Ding turned pale with fright, got up and saluted quickly in a panic: "My daughter-in-law is not filial, please don't get angry."

Seeing this situation, Gu Qinglian would be shameless if she didn't apologize again. She put down her chopsticks, stood up slowly and gave a salute, pretending to be panic-stricken, and said: "My daughter-in-law is so negligent in serving her mother. Forgive me and teach me a lot. In the future, my daughter-in-law will work hard every day and serve her wholeheartedly."
