The scarlet woolen door curtain was raised, and a woman wearing a beige paired placket with indigo plum blossom and bamboo leaf embroidered collar on a white background walked in. She looked about twenty years old, with fair skin, phoenix eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows, and a small and delicate nose. With slightly red lips, slightly raised jaw, and a reserved and solemn expression, Shen Ziqiao was slightly taken aback.
She looks very good-looking, but... her imposing manner and eyes are too domineering. When she entered the door, she didn't even look at Shen Ziqiao, and bowed to Zhou, "Auntie."
It's the name of Zhou's natal family.
The dislike and disgust on Zhou's face were swept away, and the smile in the depths of his eyes spread to the corners of his eyes. He personally took Miss Chen's hand and sat on the kang on the other side, "Why don't you rest in the house, after a few days It’s the best way to go, and you should take a good rest.”
Miss Chen's boudoir name is Xue Ling, and her personality has always been arrogant. Even when she faced the Zhou family who helped her, she did not seem particularly flattering. "After resting for a night, I feel much better."
"That's good." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, her eyes flicked to Shen Ziqiao who was looking at Chen Xueling, and said to Chen Xueling intentionally and kindly, "You came just in time, Jiaojiao sent me some delicacies from the palace, and asked them to present them to Chen Xueling." Miss try."
The reason why Chen Xueling came to Shen's house, no one else said, she knew it well, she heard that the pretty and lovely girl in the room was Shen Ziqiao, so she looked over, her pair of black and white almond eyes were clear, pure, delicate Fatty skin, round little face, looks really good.
It's just that the look in his eyes is too presumptuous! I heard that the third Miss of the Shen family had no mother to teach her since she was a child, so she is obedient and self-willed. Even the old lady in the family dares to disobey and insult her, so she has no education at all.
In the future, if he really entered the Shen family's door, the most difficult person to deal with would be this third young lady.
"Second Aunt really wants to try, the cakes in the palace are much more delicious than those outside." Shen Ziqiao said with a smile. Generously let Chen Xueling look at it.
Shen Zixin looked at Jiaojiao and Chen Xueling, feeling extremely anxious. When Chen Xueling entered the door, she wanted to drag Shen Ziqiao away. She was afraid that something would happen after she saw that Chen Xueling was difficult to get along with. Or Shen Ziqiao.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and asked someone to bring up all the pastries that Shen Ziqiao had brought.
"Yes, Jiaojiao, Second Aunt brought you some when she came back this time."
When the maid came in with a paint tray, a round mother entered the room angrily. He bowed his knees and saluted Shen Ziqiao angrily.
This is Zhou's wet nurse, Mama Zhang.
"Second Madam. The old slave is back." Zhang's mother walked to Zhou's side, squinting at Shen Ziqiao.
Sensing Mama Zhang's strangeness, Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't I ask you to bring some jelly vegetables?"
Ms. Zhang glanced at Shen Ziqiao and said in a strange voice, "Second madam. The old slave is not doing well, and I didn't ask you to bring a few taels of jelly vegetables back to make up for you. The lady in charge said that the second madam's share has already been taken. , if you want to eat jelly porridge, you have to pay for it yourself. Or wait for the order next month."
"Which lackey servant dares to say that?" Mrs. Zhou asked angrily. She is the second wife of the Shen family after all, and she needs to see a servant's face to get a few taels of jelly
"The lady said it. This is what the third lady ordered, and it's a family rule." Zhang's mother squinted at Shen Ziqiao, only contemptuous of this third lady, but no respect.
Mrs. Zhou looked at Shen Ziqiao coldly, and laughed at herself, "It turns out that this is Miss San's house rules. It's just that I don't understand the rules."
Shen Ziqiao was neither angry nor angry, she said in a crisp and sweet voice. "It's none of my business. These are the rules set by the old lady. Have you forgotten, Second Aunt? Oh, Second Aunt used to be a special case. There was no limit to how much jelly maw you wanted. You can have as much as you want."
If Mrs. Meng hadn't been allowed to take over the management of the inner house, she would not have known how many things Zhou had taken from the house.
Others need quota restrictions, and the second room needs whatever. Can you really treat everyone in the Shen family as idiots
Zhou's face was sullen, "What do you mean, is it that the old lady favors our second wife?"
"Isn't it?" Shen Ziqiao asked in surprise, it's not a secret, isn't anyone in the family who doesn't know that the old lady sends any good things to the second room
She didn't want to worry about the past. She didn't want her to be in the palace for two days. Zhou would have caused troubles for Lady Meng and others. Humiliated Mrs. Meng in public, deliberately said that Haitang offended her, and beat Haitang with a cane. She didn't know that so many things happened in the two days she was away. Did she really think Shen Ziqiao was a weak and incompetent sick cat? She is very defensive, and anyone who bullies her will never have a good life.
It was just now, and she was not in a hurry to settle accounts with Zhou Shi. The most important thing in front of her was this Chen Xueling, otherwise she would not be in the mood to sit here and watch Zhou Shi's cold eyes.
Mrs. Zhou was ridiculed by Shen Ziqiao in front of Chen Xueling. Thinking that Chen Xueling would become her sister-in-law in the future, she couldn't help feeling ashamed and resentful. .”
Shen Ziqiao laughed twice, and said slowly, "The family rules are set by the old lady, and I also acted according to the old lady's orders at that time."
Zhou's face turned green with anger, and Shen Zixin watched anxiously from the side, and gave Shen Ziqiao a wink, urging her to stop talking.
Chen Xueling frowned and looked at Shen Ziqiao. This aggressive aura was unbearable. If she became her stepmother in the future, wouldn't she also depend on her face to live? Thinking of this, Chen Xueling's haughty heart became displeased.
"Miss San, how can you talk to elders like this? Seniors and young are orderly. As a junior, you must treat elders with respect and respect. How can you be so unreasonable?" Chen Xueling's voice was not harsh, but there was a hint of A taste of looking down on Shen Ziqiao as a human being.
"Miss Chen, that's how I am." Shen Ziqiao said with a faint smile. She didn't want to fight against the Zhou family in front of Chen Xueling. It was the Zhou family who wanted to take the opportunity to suppress her, and also wanted to show their prestige before Chen Xueling entered the door. Can anything please her
Chen Xueling frowned, thinking that Shen Ziqiao was a recalcitrant girl, "Being such a person and doing things like this, how can I become the head of the house in the future? It's too presumptuous."
Because of Chen Xueling's help, Zhou suppressed her anger, "My sister doesn't know, our third lady lost her mother when she was young, and she refused to obey the old lady's discipline, so she developed such a temper, and she needs to be disciplined more. It is."
"After all, it's a matter of parentage." Chen Xueling sighed.
Shen Ziqiao smiled coldly, "I don't know what's wrong with my origin?"
If there is a problem with her background, which member of the Shen family has no problem with her background
"My second aunt also died young, but her children are all educated and reasonable. In the final analysis, it's because my aunt came from a scholarly family..." Chen Xueling ignored Shen Ziqiao, trying to cold her on purpose.
In Chen Xueling's view now, Shen Ziqiao's future education must be on her. After becoming the eldest wife of the Shen family, she vowed to get along with Shen Ziqiao's brothers and sisters. In order to be able to control this stepdaughter in the future, she must not appear too weak today.
In the future, when she teaches Shen Ziqiao how to behave, not only will Shen Xiao appreciate her, but Shen Ziqiao will also understand her painstaking efforts after she gets married.
Shen Ziqiao didn't know whether she understood Chen Xueling's painstaking efforts in the future, but now Shen Ziqiao already understood Chen Xueling's intentions. After all, it turned out that she disliked Pan's background.
"Miss Chen, what do you mean by my mother's background?" Shen Ziqiao's voice became cold, and even the polite manners were omitted.
I really want to spray tea on this glamorous and noble woman's face!
"Jiaojiao, Miss Chen didn't mean that." Shen Zixin hurriedly comforted her.
Chen Xueling was displeased with Shen Ziqiao's attitude, and frowned, "How can a merchant's daughter be educated?"
"I, an uneducated person, really have nothing to say to you, an educated person, so that's it, Second Aunt, I'll go back first." Look down on Mrs. Pan and want to enter Shen's house? This Miss Chen family is unusually narcissistic and lofty.
Zhou Shi didn't seem to be worried that Shen Ziqiao didn't like Chen Xueling, she was very sure that as long as Shen Xiao saw Chen Xueling, she would definitely agree to marry her.
As early as the first time she saw Chen Xueling last year, she was already sure that Shen Xiao would never refuse.
Shen Ziqiao left the Zhou family's courtyard feeling a little disappointed, she knew that the people the old woman hired must be bad, and Shen Xiao must not be allowed to marry this Chen Xueling.
Forget about being self-righteous, in the future she will definitely think of various ways to suppress her and her elder brother, no matter how affectionate and unrepentant the love is, it will not be able to withstand the passage of time, Shen Xiao's feelings for Pan are not as good as before.
Ruhua Meijuan is no match for Passing Water and Fleeting Years, let alone Pan's death.
Back at Qiaoxinyuan, Mrs. Meng hurriedly greeted her.
Seeing Mrs. Meng's no longer youthful face, Shen Ziqiao sighed in her heart, if it wasn't for Mrs. Zhou...she really didn't know that Mrs. Meng almost married Liang Jianhai back then.
"Miss San, the Eldest Young Master has been waiting for you in the room for a long time." Mrs. Meng reported with a smile, not knowing that Shen Ziqiao already knew about her.
Shen Ziqiao walked into the room with a smile, "Brother, I'm back."
She knew what Shen Zikai came to find her for, in fact, he also wanted to know what Chen Xueling was like.
Without unnecessary gossip, Shen Ziqiao told Shen Zikai what happened at Zhou's place as soon as she sat down, and strongly expressed that she didn't like Chen Xueling.
"She actually disliked your mother's background in front of you?" Shen Zikai's face showed a trace of anger, so what does Chen Xueling mean? Not to mention that she hasn't entered the door yet, but she has already entered the door. She still has to respect her mother as her sister, and she dares to say disgusting words.
Shen Ziqiao said, "Daddy definitely doesn't like such a person, so we don't need to care too much."
(The previous chapter name was wrong again... I'm so confused, hey!)
