Chapter 318 I heard that I am the best (5)

Because it was the end of a dynasty and the time was in turmoil, it was normal for the people to live in poverty, but Cuicheng was the base camp of the male protagonist Mu Yunchao, so the people here had a pretty good life, unlike the people in the war-torn areas outside who were displaced and left with corpses everywhere.

Zhou Shichu took his sister for a stroll on the street for half a day and got a general understanding of the economic development situation here. After all, the male protagonist has the aura of the protagonist, and his base camp is naturally more peaceful and happy. There are shops and stalls on the street, people have smiles on their faces, and children can play and fight. It seems that they are living a good life.

Zhou Shichu thought about it and decided that it would be better for her to continue staying here. It was too chaotic outside. Although she could protect herself, it would be too inconvenient to bring a child who was only a few years old with her.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she walked faster holding Zhou Shiwan's hand. Accidentally, Zhou Shiwan fell to the ground with a bang, which woke Zhou Shichu up.

Just as Zhou Shichu was about to pick her up from the ground, a young girl suddenly rushed out from the side, quickly picked up Zhou Shiwan, and said to Zhou Shichu with an unhappy look on her face: "How can you act like a sister? Don't you see that your sister's legs are short? You deliberately pulled her to walk so fast, causing her to fall and get injured..."

When Zhou Shichu saw the woman's face clearly, he immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully. Isn't this a coincidence? This woman was none other than Qingyue, the maid who had tried her best to persuade Madam Liu when she first came here.

Sure enough, just as Qingyue finished saying this, a soft female voice came from behind her: "Mrs. Li, are you here shopping too? Why didn't you take good care of your sister? Your sister is so young, it's better to hold her in your arms when you take her out on the street, it's safer. If you just hold her hand, she may fall or be abducted by kidnappers."

The delicate and beautiful Madam Liu suggested to Zhou Shichu gently and kindly, and even took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Zhou Shiwan's mouth, saying: "Little girl, the corners of your mouth are dirty."

"Madam Liu, are you going on a secret visit? Why don't you bring more people with you? What if people from the Song or Yuan clan sneak into Cuicheng, kidnap you and threaten our lord?" Zhou Shichu blinked and said to Madam Liu with a worried look on his face. This Madam Liu is none other than the heroine of this world, Liu Yan, the wife of Mu Yunchao.

Madam Liu's expression froze for a moment, obviously she didn't expect Zhou Shichu to say such profound words. She looked at Zhou Shichu with some surprise. In her impression, Zhou Shichu was a barbaric, stupid and ignorant country girl, who was not presentable even if she was lucky enough to marry Li Wei.

"Madam Li, please don't exaggerate. Our madam has people with her. A Da and A Er are enough. Our Cuicheng is under the governance of our lord. It is impossible for people from other forces to sneak in. You are worrying in vain." Qingyue spoke quickly, with more style than the host Madam Liu.

"Oh, then just think of me as overthinking." Zhou Shichu said perfunctorily. He didn't know what was going on between the master and servant, and why they were so concerned about her, a captain's wife.

"Then you guys continue shopping. My sister and I will take our leave first." Zhou Shichu took Zhou Shiwan's hand, waved to Mrs. Liu, and was about to leave.

"Hey, Madam Li, don't walk too fast. Your sister has short legs and small steps, so she can easily fall." Qingyue quickly reminded Zhou Shichu again.

Zhou Shichu simply picked up Zhou Shiwan, and Madam Liu and Qingyue watched her leaving with frowns.

"This Madam Li is really unreliable. I wonder how Captain Li can tolerate her..." Qingyue muttered aside.

"Captain Li only comes home a few days a month, so she can tolerate the time they spend together." Madam Liu said, then frowned her pretty eyebrows, "But if Madam Li doesn't change her temper, she will separate from Captain Li sooner or later."

"She really doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings she has. Not only did she not cherish the good fortune she got married to Captain Li, but she also did so many outrageous things. She's not virtuous, capable, and thrifty at all as a person or a wife should be!" Qingyue said indignantly. She had seen Li Wei who came to discuss matters with Mu Yunchao, and she thought that Li Wei was a handsome man with a talent for fighting. The vulgar Zhou Shichu was not worthy of him at all.

"Okay, this is other people's business. There's no point in worrying about it." Mrs. Liu said softly. As Mu Yunchao's wife, she had long regarded herself as the mistress of her husband's subordinates. She wanted to be a good wife and help her husband manage the backyard of his subordinates so that they could work hard for Mu Yunchao without any worries. She did all this very smoothly until Zhou Shichu turned up.

Zhou Shichu is not virtuous, not thrifty, and can't manage the household. She doesn't teach her stepson and only cares about herself. The key is that she does it without any concealment, which will obviously affect Li Wei and make him unable to work for Mu Yunchao with peace of mind.

Therefore, Madam Liu, who claimed to be the mistress, considered it her duty to correct Zhou Shichu and teach her. This was also the reason why she appeared at Widow Li's house yesterday to persuade Zhou Shichu. She wanted to be a good wife and even had to deal with the affairs of her husband's subordinates in the backyard.

It's a pity that Zhou Shichu is a man of great ideas, so she doesn't have to deal with it at all. He solved the problem of Widow Li coveting her husband on his own.

Zhou Shichu was thinking about Madam Liu while holding his sister in his arms.

Madam Liu's real name is Liu Yan. She is a reincarnated being. In her previous life, she did not marry Mu Yunchao, but Song Ju, the eldest son of another separatist family, the Song family. However, Song Ju was not the winner in the fight for the world. As the wife of a loser, her husband was killed and she was snatched away by others to be a concubine. She lived a miserable life.

Mu Yunchao was the one who conquered the world, so after being reborn in this life, she persuaded her father to invest in Mu Yunchao, and married Mu Yunchao with a thick dowry, waiting to become the mother of the country and the founding queen in the future.

Zhou Shichu smiled. Liu Yan's behavior was normal. It was human nature to want to cling to someone powerful and be carried away by them. She was also willing to work hard. She was already a very good protagonist.

It's just that this heroine is a little - nosy. She thinks the original owner is a bad person and is not suitable to be Li Wei's wife. She will hold Li Wei back. So she wants to teach the original owner to be a good wife and asks her not to do this or that. She thinks she is well-intentioned, but the original owner herself is not a person who likes to be controlled and is used to being selfish. Suddenly, she is asked to be a selfless and virtuous wife. Wouldn't she feel very aggrieved?

Unfortunately, Madam Liu had a higher status than her, so she couldn't resist. She became abnormal due to being suppressed in her feelings. She didn't dare to resist Madam Liu, so she vented her anger inwardly, on Li Ji and Zhou Shiwan. However, Li Ji was very slippery. He would run away and resist when she beat or scolded him, and even complain to Li Wei. The original owner had no choice but to use her sister as an emotional trash can and sandbag.
