Chapter 058 Seduction?
Chapter 058 Seduction?
Seeing the shocked look in Su Jin's eyes, Zou became even happier.
Although the Hexi clans were also very powerful, they could not compare to the wealth of the famous families in the capital. Even as for these expensive and rare things, they definitely did not have as many as the nobles in the capital.
She took out this treasure from the bottom of the box to let Su Jin know that your husband's family has a lot of good things, and these good things will be yours sooner or later in the future, as long as you can continue to be a good daughter-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion and not be like before, making the family a mess.
Zou really didn't have too many requirements for Su Jin, but Su Jin was really capable. The things he had done recently were all very much appreciated by Zou. If Su Jin could continue to be so outstanding, it was not impossible for the Yong'an Marquis's family business to be handed over to Su Jin.
The old lady thought with satisfaction.
"Take this ivory and gold-thread lotus crown and wear it. Wear it to the Mid-Autumn Festival party in the palace this year, and let those people know that the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion will never decline."
Gu Changqing lowered his eyelids after hearing these words.
The father is excellent, but his son is incompetent. The reason is just because of a concubine. How can Zou be happy?
Of course not.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhuzhi is here, and Brother Xuan has turned over a new leaf. I hope one of his grandchildren can make a name for himself.
Su Jin stood up and saluted: "Thank you, mother. Your daughter-in-law knows."
Oh, so annoying. I thought it was a draw, but I overlooked the fact that she still had to attend social events. However, if she just kept her head down and ate, wouldn't there be a lot less trouble?
"Are you feeling better?"
Su Jin raised her eyebrows, subconsciously pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed twice: "Thank you for your concern, mother. I feel better with the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician Zhang. I should be fine after taking it for a few more days."
What I mean is, I'm not well yet, so don't tell me what to do. I can't do it. Thank you!
Zou nodded, and told Mama Wen to ask the kitchen to send more nourishing food to the eldest lady, then waved her hand and sent the two away.
After leaving the house, Gu Changqing said, "That lotus crown really suits you. It will look great with the phoenix hairpin."
Su Jin nodded: "I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest first."
His attitude was so cold, it was completely different from the way he treated Zou.
What a joke, the old lady gave her money, what did you give her? You can't give her anything except anger, so she naturally doesn't look good.
"Yes, but you still have to worry about Yun Ge's betrothal gift list."
Yun Ge’er’s betrothal gift?
Su Jin nodded: "Got it."
After saying that, she turned and left. Gu Changqing stared at her back for a long time until she could no longer be seen, then he turned and left.
All of this was seen by Lin Wanhui who had just returned.
She stared at Gu Changqing's figure, then looked at Su Jin, feeling sour jealousy and dissatisfaction in her heart.
Didn’t my husband already dislike my sister? He hadn’t been to Liuting Pavilion for three years. I heard that he was having dinner there last night. Has the relationship between these two been rekindled?
What methods did my sister use? Seduction, temptation?
Lin Wanhui touched her face and could clearly feel that her skin had become much looser and no longer had the firmness and smoothness of a teenage girl.
Beauty fades with age, and her husband is tired of her?
Lin Wanhui became even more jealous. Why could Su Jin's face always remain young and beautiful? Huh?
"Mother Li, go and find out what the old lady gave to my sister."
Three boxes were dragged into Liuting Pavilion by three maids, and all the servants in the mansion saw them.
Although the boxes are not big, there are three of them, which is enough to show the weight of the things inside.
In the past, when the old lady rewarded her, she never gave her so much at once. It was just a jade pendant today, a silver bracelet tomorrow, and a gold ring the day after tomorrow.
They are just little gadgets.
Soon, Mother Wen came back and whispered, "The old lady gave the lady a box of pearls, two phoenix hairpins, and an ivory crown. I heard that there was a pearl in the box that was about the size of a cherry."
"What?!"
Lin Wanhui's heart was filled with jealousy.
The pearls given to the lady were packed in a box, and what about her? Up to now, the gold ornaments given to her are not as heavy as the lady's phoenix hairpin, right? Not to mention the ivory crown, how priceless it must be!
"Well, old man, you have hidden so many good things, but you never thought of me!"
Lin Wanhui twisted the handkerchief fiercely, her eyes red with grievance.
Mother Wen also said sourly: "I was awarded a pair of jade bracelets some time ago. I heard they are also priceless."
"Oh, the old lady still favors my sister." Lin Wanhui snorted coldly and walked away: "Come on, let's go sit with my sister and take a look at the lotus crown made of ivory. How precious it is!"
The master and servant walked towards Liuting Pavilion.
However, before they entered the house, they were stopped by a maid at the door. The maid looked Lin Wanhui up and down and said, "The lady has to rest. I'd better come at another time."
"Break?"
Even Lin Wanhui was laughing, who was he trying to fool?
It's broad daylight and the sun is so bright. Why do you need to take a rest?
Besides, she just got a bunch of things from the old lady, so she had to come back and look through them. How could she still have the energy to sleep? No, how could she sleep?
"Yes, let's take a break. Please go back, little girl."
Just as she finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from inside. Lin Wanhui was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief tightly and shouted at the door with gritted teeth: "Sister, sister, I came to see you. My husband asked me to come and apologize to you. If you don't let me in, aren't you still blaming me?"
Lin Wanhui deliberately shouted loudly, and what she said was so loud that Su Jin had no choice but to let her in.
If she is not allowed to enter, it means that the lady is stingy. She does not let her in even when she comes to apologize. She does not have the demeanor of a mistress. If she is allowed to enter, that would be even better. Let's see if she doesn't go in and smash the ivory crown. It will also let the old lady see how the lady treats the precious things given by the old lady.
Lin Wanhui had a smile on her face, and no matter how she thought about it, she was the one getting the upper hand.
When he was proud, the laughter inside suddenly died down, and the listening room soon became quiet, as if no one was there.
After a while, Jin Chuan walked out of the house and stood at the door.
Seeing this, the old woman quickly spoke up: "She had to make a fuss here, disturbing the mistress, didn't she?"
Jin Chuan waved her hand and turned to look at Lin Wanhui.
She saw the smug look on Lin Wanhui's face. She was obviously just a concubine, but she didn't take the mistress seriously at all. Moreover, the mistress had just received the reward, and she chose to come now. Even the mistress said that Lin Wanhui must have bad intentions and ulterior motives.
Because the lady had guessed it, she sent her out.
All I can say is that some people are destined to be disappointed.
