Chapter 003 Rules of the Game
The atmosphere is wrong!
Something is wrong!
There seems to be something wrong!
The problem seems a bit serious!
Feeling the heat coming from above her head, Xia Xue silently closed Yang Junyi's clothes.
That
"Would you like some water for your head?"
…
In her previous life, she had always been pursuing Platonic love. Even though she had been with her boyfriend for ten years, their relationship was limited to holding hands and kissing each other.
So, she really forgot the structure of men in the physiology book.
"Why is your face so red!"
"Aren't you still the same?" Yang Junyi chuckled.
Oh my god!
Xia Xue took a step away. The dose of medicine she had just administered could at least immobilize a person for two hours, but it only lasted a few minutes.
This man is not simple!
It's not easy!
Yang Junyi's face regained its composure, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if neutralizing the effects of the medicine and dealing with her would only take a few minutes.
After tidying herself up, Xia Xue quickly walked to the door.
Yang Junyi raised his left hand.
Open the door.
The right hand also moved.
The man just took a step.
The left leg moved again.
Xia Xue pursed her lips and turned to face the hall, "Everyone come and look, there are male pets here."
When everyone heard this, they rushed over like a tide.
Xia Xue blew a kiss and quickly squeezed out of the crowd.
Meng Ya was guarding the door. She heard the loud noise inside and thought she had caught him. But she was confused when she saw Xia Xue coming out alone.
"That's it?"
"So what else do you want?"
Meng Ya sighed, "It looks like fake news."
Xia Xue rolled her eyes at her.
The two of them returned to the prime minister's residence one after the other. As soon as they entered her garden, Floating Cloud Pavilion, they saw two uninvited guests.
Xia Xue glanced at the two uninvited people. One was the wife of the second wife, and the other was concubine Du of the second wife.
Chu Zhenxuan didn't know whether it was because of the power of the Xia family or because she performed "too well", but he never took a concubine.
Of course, I haven't touched her in the three years since we got married.
This is what she is happy to see.
Xia Xue raised her eyebrows, "What is Second Madam trying to do?"
"My eldest brother asked me to take care of this household, so naturally I have to go around and see if my 'sister-in-law' needs anything else."
"Oh, no, look at my memory. I don't know if you can bear to be called 'sister-in-law'." The second wife raised her eyes and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
Because of the system's character setting of "affectionate and tender", she had been restrained and pretended to be weak and docile during the three years since she entered the mansion. Naturally, because of the Xia family, the people in the second house did not dare to do anything too excessive. They did not expect that as soon as Chu Zhenxuan wanted to divorce his wife, the true colors of these people were exposed.
Xia Xue chuckled, "Meng Ya, the guests are here, why don't you go get some spring water and make tea for the Second Madam and Aunt Du."
"Yes!" Meng Ya understood and immediately retreated.
Xia Xue pushed the door open and walked in.
The Second Madam and Aunt Du looked at each other and followed.
Although it was not their first time entering Floating Cloud Pavilion, they could not help but be shocked every time they entered.
The strength of the Xia family is something they can never catch up with in their lifetime. Xia Xue's dowry alone is enough to support the Chu family for more than ten years.
"Madam, please have a taste of this purple bamboo shoot cake first." Xia Xue handed over a plate of food. "This is made from bamboo shoots that were rubbed by a dozen ladies of the Imperial Chefs."
Aunt Du hurriedly pushed the second wife who was looking around.
The second wife took a piece and put it in her mouth. It melted in her mouth. It was really good.
When Xia Xue married into the prime minister's mansion, the Xia family even brought her small kitchen directly with them. It was really infuriating.
The second lady cleared her throat.
"Since I was entrusted by the old lady to manage the household, I have always followed her style of being frugal and strict in managing the household. Now that you and your elder brother are in this situation, I should also take a look at the Chu family's things."
The second lady said this very artistically. First, she was entrusted by the old lady to take charge of the household. What she meant was, I am here on behalf of the old lady, and if you don't give me face, you are not giving face to the old lady.
Furthermore, the Second Lady kept referring to everything as the Chu family's, which meant that she was instinctively trying to change the concept and attribute all her dowry to the Chu family's property.
Xia Xue chuckled. It turned out that the show of strength they showed when they first entered the door was to pave the way for the future. With Xia Xue's "old temper", she would naturally be "scared" if she was bullied, so she did as they wished.
Just like the last time Chu Zhenxuan bribed the officials, they used all kinds of threats and inducements to make Xia Xue pay five thousand taels of silver.
Of course, that is a [system requirement].
Seeing that Xia Xue didn't say anything, the second lady tried to "appeal to her emotions" again.
"Look, sister-in-law, my brother is furious right now, so we dare not say anything. Let's wait for a few days until he calms down, and then we can talk to him. That tomboy is nothing compared to you. After all, we are a family."
Xia Xue burst out laughing.
The Second Madam's ability to use both hard and soft tactics is quite good.
It is quite appropriate to describe that tomboy, as there is an airport in front and behind.
Hahahaha, it’s so funny.
At this time, Meng Ya came in carrying a green washbasin.
The second wife's face changed.
"You are a maid, do you know how to do things? Your mistress asked you to use spring water to make tea, but you used it to wash your hands!!!"
"Who said I use it to wash my hands?"
As soon as Xia Xue finished speaking, Meng Ya held the basin and threw it fiercely at the second wife.
The wash basin was thrown out due to the excessive force and hit the second wife directly on the head.
"you"
"you"
"How dare you?"
The Second Lady's eyes were bloodshot as if they were about to spit fire, and the chrysanthemum petals in the basin were hanging on her eyelashes, dripping water.
The rouge and powder on her face flowed along with the water, leaving several grooves, turning her face into a big clown face.
"Someone, show the guest away."
The second wife pointed at Xia Xue tremblingly, "You, you wait."
When Aunt Du saw that the Second Madam was upset, she followed her in shame.
Zuo Qing, who was standing outside the Floating Cloud Pavilion, looked at the Second Madam who was like a chicken in soup and walked out, her face filled with shock.
"Why did my sister-in-law suddenly change her temperament?"
Chu Zhenxuan curled his lips, "Maybe this is his true face."
He said, how could the eldest daughter of the Xia family, who was raised in a delicate and docile way, have such a gentle personality? Sure enough, as soon as he wanted to divorce his wife, his true nature was exposed.
Thinking of this, his face turned even darker.
"Let's go and see what's going on."
The second wife, who had eaten a belly full of turtle, saw Chu Zhenxuan coming towards her and started crying...
When four uninvited guests came into Floating Cloud Pavilion, Xia Xue slowly stood up.
Although Chu Zhenxuan is not a good man, his face is really pleasing to the eye.
Tsk tsk, he brought another tomboy here, turns out he likes this kind of woman.
Madam, do you think you have found a backer? If you dare to speak later, I will reward you with another basin of mountain spring water.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Meng Ya.
Meng Ya understood and was about to leave.
"stop."
As Chu Zhenxuan finished speaking, Xia Xue saw a “+1” appear above Chu Zhenxuan’s head.
Depend on!
