Jiang Shuyue stretched out her hands, and eight of her ten fingers were already covered.
They were all large gemstones and jadeite of great value, and there were bracelets on both wrists.
The jewels in other people's hands were so dazzling that they hurt their eyes, and the things in her two hands almost blinded their eyes.
Jiang Shuyue smiled harmlessly and said, "My Luming loves to spend money on me. I can hardly handle it anymore. I really want to find someone to share some of the burden with me."
The young ladies, led by Chu Xiner, turned pale.
Everyone knew that the Zhennan Marquis's Mansion was wealthy, but no one expected it to be so wealthy and treat their stepmother so well.
Jiang Shuyue: [You little bastards, mocking my daughter? You don't deserve it!]
System: [Congratulations to the host, you have earned 10 Green Tea Points, bringing you one point closer to exchanging for the Marrow Cleansing Pill.]
Zhou Luming was no longer so angry.
Usually Chu Xiner would quarrel with her whenever they met, and she had suffered a lot. This time, someone finally stood up for her. It felt so good!
Chu Xiner tilted her head in a daze.
Did she hear Jiang Shuyue's voice just now? But she didn't speak. Could it be ventriloquism?
A woman nearby pulled her aside and whispered in her ear, "My father said Jiang Shuyue is very evil and told us to stay away from her and not to provoke her. Or should we just forget it?"
"Isn't she just the wife of a marquis? I'm still a county lady, not much worse than her. Don't encourage others to be more ambitious and destroy your own prestige."
"But……"
"No problem, I just want to see how evil she is!"
Seeing them whispering to each other, Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but feel curious:
Jiang Shuyue: [System, look at how close they are, will it be... hehe...]
Chu Xiner shuddered. What the hell is this?
System: [After what happened with Concubine Xian, don't assume that everyone has a habit of polishing mirrors.]
Jiang Shuyue: [But they seem so close, even sticking close to each other on the street. Didn't you see the way that girl looked at Chu Xiner? She was winking! Based on my years of experience, I can tell there's something fishy going on. I bet she's constantly looking for Chu Xiner for no reason and telling her all sorts of random things.]
Yes! Doesn’t Zhao Lushuang always sneak into her yard for no reason?
Either they bring some new things, or they talk about gossip about rich and noble ladies.
Then take her out for a stroll.
It was Zhao Lushuang who pulled her out today.
Chu Xiner felt a wave of numbness and nausea all over her body. So she was this kind of person...
System: [Although I really want to say that what you said makes sense, please be more normal. It's not what you think. That melon called Zhao Lushuang is also very fragrant. Do you want to listen?]
Jiang Shuyue: [Wait, be serious and respectful when eating melons. Wait until I find a place with good feng shui.]
Zhou Luming was also excited when he heard there was melon to eat. "Mom, I know a teahouse where scholars often write poetry and sing songs. The food there is also very good. Do you want to go?"
Jiang Shuyue: "Okay, okay!"
Jiang Shuyue: [My darling daughter is truly a mother’s sweetheart. I’m your fan!]
Zhou Luming glanced at Chu Xiner proudly and pulled Jiang Shuyue to the teahouse.
Chu Xiner stomped her feet in anger.
Why was she so angry when she saw Zhou Luming's smug look?
No, she wants to eat melons and other things too!
"Come on, let's follow them! It's just a teahouse. If Zhou Luming can go there, I, Chu Xiner, can go there too!"
Chu Xiner and others followed.
Because we went there late, there were no private rooms left in the teahouse, only a few private rooms blocked by partitions.
Zhou Luming ordered a table full of delicious dishes to feed Jiang Shuyue.
I also ordered a pot of the best peach blossom wine.
Jiang Shuyue had a few drinks and was already feeling drunk: "A chicken has two legs, a rooster has one beak, but if they don't peck for a day, they'll get hungry and cluck."
[Tongzi, what do you think of my poetry? Who has a very postmodern flavor?]
Tongzi: It’s really inconvenient to say…
Zhou Luming...just wanted to laugh.
"Mom, please eat more vegetables."
Drink less, lest you recite these poems when you are drunk and shock others.
Jiang Shuyue: [Wow, my daughter is so caring! She knows I love chicken, so she made me another serving of spicy chicken!]
System: [Take it easy, I'm going to report the news.]
Jiang Shuyue sat up straight, waiting for the melon with dignity.
System: [Zhao Lushuang has no feelings of admiration for Chu Xiner.]
Chu Xiner had just breathed a sigh of relief when the system's next sentence struck her like lightning.
System: [Not only do I not love her, but I actually hate her deeply.]
Chu Xiner was stunned, and Zhou Luming was also stunned.
Hate? Aren't they as close as a pair of pants? Why are they hating each other again?
Chu Xiner was also confused. From childhood to adulthood, Zhao Lushuang had always been her follower, always following her lead. How could it be...
Jiang Shuyue: [Oh no, another fake sisterhood!]
System: [It's more than just plastic, it's toxic! Chu Xiner's constant opposition to Zhou Luming was also instigated by Zhao Lushuang.]
When she was five years old, she framed Zhou Luming and caused Chu Xiner's clothes to be damaged.
Seven-year-old Zhou Luming gave Chu Xiner a horse. Zhao Lushuang tampered with it, causing Chu Xiner to fall off the horse. The feud between the two was completely settled.
Ten-year-old Chu Xiner's childhood sweetheart broke off the engagement. Zhao Lushuang hinted that Zhou Luming had seduced her, but in reality, it was Zhao Lushuang who had instigated the conflict.
Chu Xiner comes from a wealthy family and has a bad temper, but she's not cunning. Zhao Lushuang, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. She has a lot of cunning thoughts.
Jiang Shuyue: [Wow, the real-life version of Concubine Hua and that noble lady.]
Zhou Luming was shocked. He never expected that the tit-for-tat confrontation over the years was actually caused by the daughter of a sixth-rank official.
Chu Xiner couldn't believe it either.
She was actually fooled around by a lackey.
Jiang Shuyue, however, was unconcerned: "Human jealousy is terrible. Even if you treat her well, she can bite you back. Besides, I don't think their relationship is that good."
Jiang Shuyue drank a cup of peach blossom wine, but felt unsatisfied, so she picked up the wine pot and took a sip.
Chu Xiner was so angry that she glared at Zhao Lushuang fiercely.
Zhao Lushuang also felt something was wrong. Why did she suddenly feel a tingling pain all over her body?
System: [Zhao Lushuang and your sister have similarities, but she can't replace Chu Xiner, so she wants to see Chu Xiner suffer. The more miserable she is, the happier Zhao Lushuang is.]
"Bitch! I treated you as a friend and obeyed you in everything, but I never thought you would treat me like this!"
"Little bitch, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"
Chu Xiner rushed forward, grabbed Zhao Lushuang's hair, and tore, pulled, tugged, and dragged her.
His companions were stunned, even Zhou Luming was dumbfounded.
Why did they start fighting out of the blue? Could it be...
Everyone was shocked and couldn't react for a long time. Only Jiang Shuyue was cheering.
"Hit me! Why are you scratching my face? Hit me in the stomach, yes, yes, that's it!"
