What to Do? Forced to be the Stepmother of a Jerky Kid

A modern worker with consistently bad luck - Luo Chaoyan, was blown into a strange ancient time by a typhoon.

Her father is a fifth-rank petty official, and her mother is the daughter of a we...

Chapter 125

After a few days of rest, Luo Chaoyan recovered from her illness.

In the early morning, when she woke up, she asked Pineapple to bring her some of her favorite food. After drinking bitter medicine for a few days and eating vegetable porridge that was as bland as water, she was almost dying of hunger.

After having a full meal, she walked around the yard for a few laps, then sat on the swing, lazily enjoying the light sunshine on her body.

Fengli came over with a post and a letter, and said, "Young Madam, this is the invitation from the Cao residence, and the letter from the Second Madam."

Luo Chaoyan raised her eyebrows. She first glanced at the post from Cao's mansion before opening the letter.

After reading the letter, she raised her hand and stroked her chin in deep thought. Should she go or not?

Shu Lan asked, "Young Madam, what did the Second Madam say in the letter? Should we reject the post from the Cao Mansion?"

Luo Chaoyan shook her head and said, "Second aunt said that she will also bring her cousin back to Cao's house tomorrow."

Shu Lan was stunned and asked, "Then the young lady is also planning to go?"

Luo Chaoyan thought about it and said, "Go."

She stood up, stretched and said, "Let's go tell grandma and mother."

Shu Lan nodded.

When Luo Chaoyan arrived at Madam Huo's courtyard, her mother-in-law happened to be there, so she told her that Madam Cao had invited her to visit her house.

Mrs. Huo knew that her daughter-in-law was a successful person, so she did not object. She knew what her daughter-in-law was worried about, so she said, "Ayan, if you want to go, go ahead. It's just a visit between the female relatives, and it has nothing to do with government affairs. There's no problem!"

Madam Huo also said: "When you go to Cao's house, remember that you are the young lady of the Huo family. You don't need to please anyone, and of course you can't bully others by taking advantage of your position."

Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Yes, granddaughter-in-law has made a note of it."

The next day

Luo Chaoyan let Shu Lan and Feng Li put makeup on her. There was no way. Even though she didn't like it, she still had to do her best to save face when going to Cao's house.

The three of them struggled for a long time before finally putting on their makeup.

Fengli complained, "Madam, you don't like to tinker with these things on weekdays, so our skills have become rusty."

Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at her and said, "I gave you a chance to be lazy, and you still despise me!"

Fengli chuckled and said, "Young Madam, I would rather you dress up beautifully every day."

"Pineapple, I, your young lady, am naturally beautiful. I look good even without makeup." Luo Chaoyan said conceitedly.

Pineapple choked, and it was difficult for her to refute this. If I say I look better with makeup on, will I have nothing to eat tomorrow?

Shu Lan smiled and said, "It's getting late, Madam, let's set off."

Luo Chaoyan nodded.

As soon as they walked out of the courtyard, Huo An ran over like a whirlwind.

Luo Chaoyan sometimes really suspected that this little fat boy must have been an athlete in his previous life, otherwise how could such a chubby little body run so fast.

Huo An ran up to them, smiled sweetly, and said, "Mother, where are you going? Take me with you!"

Luo Chaoyan also smiled at him with a gentle and loving face, and said: "An An, the teacher should be waiting for you in the study. You are a junior, you can't let the elders wait for you."

Huo An's face suddenly fell and he looked at her pitifully, hoping that she would soften her heart and take him with her.

Luo Chaoyan thought about it and decided to give him a sweet treat, saying, "Mother will bring you some delicious food when she comes back."

Huo An considered it for a moment and said, "It has to be fun."

Luo Chaoyan nodded generously and said, "Okay, mother promises you."

Huo An then smiled, bowed to her, and went to the study.

Luo Chaoyan took Fengli and Shulan to Cao's house by car.

Cao Mansion Gate

As soon as Luo Chaoyan got off the carriage, she saw Gu Xinyu and Liang Qianyi also getting off their own carriages.

She was a little surprised. It was understandable for Mrs. Cao to invite Liang Qianyi, but why did she invite Gu Xinyu? The Gu family and the Cao family should be considered mortal enemies!

"cousin!"

"Cousin!"

She was thinking deeply when she heard Yin Miaoshan and Luo Chaoning calling her.

Seeing that the second aunt was not with them, she asked, "Where is the second aunt?"

Luo Chaoning said: "Second Aunt went in, we thought about waiting for cousin, so we didn't go in."

Yin Miaoshan nodded and said, "Cousin, I didn't want to come at first, but someone was timid and insisted that I follow him."

Luo Chaoning rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'm paying you."

"Do you think I'm short of money?" Yin Miaoshan raised her chin and asked.

Luo Chaoyan watched the two people bickering, feeling a little confused. She could see that their relationship seemed to have become closer, and they were not as confrontational as before. However, she didn't know what had brought them closer together.

The three of them gathered together and chatted for a while, and then Su Qian also came.

Su Qian was standing on the carriage. When she saw them, she waved to them happily. Without waiting for the maid to put the wooden ladder for her, she jumped off the carriage and walked towards them.

"Sister Luo! Sister Yin!"

She looked at Luo Chaoning and asked, "Who is this sister?"

Luo Chaoyan introduced: "My cousin, Luo Chaoning."

Su Qian nodded and said with a smile: "Sister Luo!"

Luo Chaoning also nodded at her.

Su Qian whispered to them, "I don't know what Madam Cao is planning. Forget about inviting you. Even if you invite me, I'm not afraid that I will beat his son's pig face again."

Luo Chaoyan and others couldn't help laughing when they saw her eager to try.

Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "We'll know once we get in."

So several people walked into Cao's mansion together.

When they arrived at the inner hall of Cao's mansion, they saw many ladies and girls from wealthy families gathered together and chatting.

Seeing them coming, some people who knew them came forward to say hello. Of course, there were some people they didn’t know, but those who wanted to make themselves familiar to Luo Chaoyan and Su Qian also came over to say hello.

Naturally, there were many ladies and girls surrounding Gu Xinyu and Liang Qianyi. After all, these two were of great background.

Yin Miaoshan looked at Luo Chaoning and said, "Are you envious?"

Luo Chaoning said: "It might have been possible before, but not now."

Yin Miaoshan was stunned and asked, "Why?"

Luo Chaoning said: "I suddenly realized that it's actually quite boring. I have to go to socialize with a bunch of people I don't know."

Yin Miaoshan smiled and said, "Not bad, you actually know how to awaken."

At this time, Madam Cao walked in slowly with a smile on her face. She greeted the ladies and girls from the aristocratic families one by one, and then asked everyone to sit down.

Luo Chaoyan noticed that she looked at Gu Xinyu with a cold expression, but was quite warm to Liang Qianyi. It feels like the look of someone staring at prey. The status of Lord Liang in the court is naturally very important. Could it be that she also wants to win over the Liang family?
