[Father-in-law Chapter 7] Ominous Premonition

Chu Jiao truly felt the extent to which Shen Zhen's third room was neglected in the Shen family.

She was not disturbed last night, and she thought that Shen Zhen had dealt with the people outside the room. As a result, when she woke up in the morning, she saw that the maid who was supposed to be on duty outside was sleeping in the ear room, the water brought by the grandmother who took care of the bride's daily life was lukewarm, the scattered fallen leaves in the outer courtyard were not swept up, and the servants were in a mess that was shocking.

She didn't know that this was the result of Shen Zhen's deliberate indulgence.

The original owner's personal maid and grandmother were arranged to somewhere by the housekeeper yesterday. Chu Jiao knew that the male protagonist had no feelings for the Shen family, so she was not afraid of losing face for Shen Zhen. She directly called the housekeeper Shen Liang, and in front of all the servants in the courtyard, she had a rage and asked for her maids back.

Shen Liang left with an ugly face. Chu Jiao could tell with her toes that he must have gone to the main room to complain.

She didn't care and began to dress herself up.

Looking at her own face in the mirror with a high nose, big eyes, bright and deep features, Chu Jiao was very happy. Anyone with a beautiful face will be in a good mood.

The original owner's father was a wealthy businessman who had been doing business in the northwest for decades, and her mother was a beautiful Hu Ji who was bought by her father. Therefore, she had a mixed-race face. Unlike the ladies from the Central Plains, she was beautiful and charming in a different way.

Chu Jiao asked to select the most eye-catching and expensive set of ruby ​​headdresses, and changed into a set of peach-red silver-sprinkled chest-length skirt, and put on a large-sleeved shirt with a hundred children and thousands of lotuses woven in gold on the outside, drew eyebrows and put on flower hairpins, and then put on lipstick. The stunning beauty in the mirror made Cui Huan, who had been serving beside her, open her mouth in amazement.

"Miss... no, Madam... you... are so beautiful! Xiao Cui has never seen you so beautiful before!"

Chu Jiao smiled and accepted the compliment.

Xiao Cui was doing her makeup just now, but Chu Jiao felt something was wrong halfway through. The original owner had lived in the northwest for many years, and her skin was a little rough and not very fair. Xiao Cui blindly painted her with a pale pearl powder and drew her eyebrows into thin willow-leaf eyebrows, reducing the original owner's original eight-point beauty to five points.

After all, she was a woman who had learned modern makeup techniques. Although she did not have the skills comparable to plastic surgery, she could still do simple contouring and choose the right eyebrow shape and lip color.

She did not deliberately cover up the original owner's skin color, but instead emphasized the advantages of her deep facial features and drew a beautiful and strong peach blossom makeup, making her look beautiful, generous and radiant.

She stood up and straightened her back.

"Go ahead, go and welcome your husband, and pay respects like an elder and serve tea."

The east wing where the third room was located was not big, and her nominal husband Shen Zhongxing stayed in the Tingsong Courtyard on the left.

As soon as Chu Jiao entered the courtyard, she smelled a strong smell of medicine. Led by the servant into the room, she saw Shen Zhongxing lying on the bed, emaciated.

He should be over fifteen years old, and he looked handsome but pale and thin. Chu Jiao remembered that the original owner had just reached the age of marriage. In fact, the two of them are still children in modern times, but in ancient times, they were already old enough to get married.

The servant called him in a low voice, and explained to the young lady in front of him that the young master suddenly coughed up blood last night and slept all night, so he could not attend the wedding ceremony.

Chu Jiao nodded indifferently, and looked at Shen Zhongxing's slowly opening eyes, and felt some sympathy for him in her heart.

Born in such a big family, even marriage is controlled by others, life is too tiring.

It's just like the helplessness she felt when she knew she was living in a book and couldn't even control her own destiny. She

bowed to Shen Zhongxing, and the couple met for the first time.

But Chu Jiao could feel that Shen Zhongxing had no interest in her. On the contrary, when he was washing and changing clothes, his eyes often fell on the yellow-clothed maid who was taking care of him.

Chu Jiao didn't plan to have much contact with this husband. After all, her target was not him. It would be best if the two of them could treat each other with respect.

She stepped forward and helped Shen Zhongxing onto the wheelchair together with the servant.

On the other hand, Shen Zhen, who hurried home in the early morning, happened to meet Shen Zhichang and his wife from the eldest house at the Chuihua Gate.

"Hey, third brother, you are finally back."

Shen Zhichang said in a gloomy tone, "It's just right. Today, the bride is serving tea, and you, as the father-in-law, are back. It's perfect." Shen Zhichang

was not speaking up for his own son. In addition to Shen Zhongxing, he had five children, including legitimate and illegitimate children. So Shen Zhongxing was just a weight in his eyes, and it was obvious that Shen Zhen didn't care about this weight.

But Shen Zhichang's wife, Du, was still thinking about the meat that Shen Zhongxing had dropped from her belly. No matter what, she had to see the grandson's wife personally selected by the old lady Zhu.

Shen Zhen politely saluted his brother and sister-in-law. He always did these etiquettes in a thorough manner.

He followed the two of them to the lobby, but he was somewhat suspicious.

The bride served tea?

What was going on? Zhong Xing also got married last night?

Shen Zhen suddenly had a premonition.

And this premonition came true when he sat in the middle of the lobby and saw Chu Jiao, who was walking towards him slowly, gracefully and smiling sweetly.
