Chapter 241 No Vision
Chapter 241 No Vision
Su Jin refused to listen and was not afraid of anything. He rolled his eyes aggressively, making Ruomei tremble with anger.
"Su Jin!"
She couldn't help but said angrily: "It seems that you don't want to work hard here. This is the imperial palace!"
"Yes, the palace is not your home, so I don't understand why you, a female official, are so arrogant in the palace, in the emperor's house. People who don't know would think this is your home. You have the final say?"
Su Jin didn't want to pay any attention to her at all. He just picked up a hoe from the corner and hit Ruomei directly.
"ah!"
Ning Ruomei was startled and quickly moved away, angrily saying, "Su Jin, are you blind?"
"You're standing in the wrong place. Back off, back off, back off. Oh, that's right."
How could it be wrong? Ning Ruomei was standing outside the courtyard at this moment. The young palace maids and eunuchs passing by couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. Ning Ruomei was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Su Jin, what do you mean?"
"No fun, I have to get to work, bye, thank you!"
Su Jin turned around and went back to work, ignoring Ning Ruomei. Ning Ruomei was so angry that she was shaking all over, but with so many people watching around, she couldn't really go up and grab the hoe to stop Su Jin from working. After all, this was an area specially designated by the emperor for Su Jin to plant flowers.
Ning Ruomei gritted her teeth in anger, but could only turn around and leave.
Doesn’t Su Jin look down on me? Fine, then she will let this old woman know the consequences of provoking me!
It was unknown what Ning Ruolan saw in Su Jin, and why she was trying so hard to win over such a middle-aged woman. In her opinion, Ning Ruolan did not have the talent of Xie Huaiguang, nor the status of Prince Rui. Although she had the support of the Hexi Su family, the Hexi Su family was too far away from the capital, and was just a farming family with no rights. Su Jin, who was so far away from home and without the support of the Yong'an Marquisate, was really just an ordinary commoner.
What's so good about winning over someone?
In short, after the last contact, Ning Ruomei came to the conclusion that Su Jin was not worth associating with. This person had nothing and there was nothing worth associating with.
While thinking about this, Ning Ruomei went to find Zhao Fu, the eunuch in charge of the Sixth Bureau and Twenty-four Departments, and cried to him about how Su Jin, the newcomer, had bullied her. She also said that the palace maids and eunuchs around her had seen it, and asked Zhao Fu to take charge of the matter for her.
Ning Ruomei was a female official and had a lot of contact with people in the palace. Naturally, her relationship with them was better than Su Jin, who had just started working in the palace. She thought that after she said this, Zhao Fu would definitely help her, but who knew that Eunuch Zhao looked embarrassed.
"You mean the thirty-something Si Yuan, Su Jin?"
"Yes, it's her. Father-in-law, please make the decision for me. I've been bullied by her."
Zhao Fu said in embarrassment: "Well, please bear with it. Su Jin was brought in by Eunuch Zhou Ruihai himself. Even if I have a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to cause trouble for this person who was brought in personally."
Ning Ruomei: ...
Well, Eunuch Zhao didn’t want to help her at all, so what if Eunuch Zhou Ruihai was brought in?
Su Jin is not related to Eunuch Zhou. Eunuch Zhou only brought people in because of the emperor's order. What does this prove?
Cowardly thing!
Ning Ruomei felt uncomfortable, thinking that Eunuch Zhao was timid and unwilling to help.
After chatting casually for a few minutes, Ning Ruomei left. When she left, she saw Su Chan, the old nanny beside the Empress Dowager, went to Zhao Fu. Ning Ruomei's heart moved, and she returned to eavesdrop.
I heard Nanny Su say, "I heard that Si Yuan, who is called Su Jin, has arrived today?"
"Madam, we are here. We are in the yard. What can I do for you?"
"No instructions. The Queen Mother heard that she was divorced and wanted to ask her to go over and copy some female virtues."
Ning Ruomei was instantly delighted.
Yes, how could the Queen Mother like a divorced woman?
I definitely don’t like it!
Ha, look, Zhao Fu was unwilling to teach Su Jin a lesson for her, so naturally someone else would do it for her. She said, what's so great about a divorced woman with no background?
Now Ning Ruomei felt relieved. As long as someone took care of Su Jin, it would be fine. Ha, happy.
Thinking about this, she walked back to the garden and said to Su Jin arrogantly, "Hey, you, the Empress Dowager is looking for you!"
The Queen Mother is looking for her?
Su Jin was full of questions. Why did the Queen Mother look for him?
"Su Jin, people should not be too arrogant. If you are too arrogant, God will punish you!"
Su Jin felt that Ning Ruomei was sick, and her illness was very serious.
She said with a look of deep sorrow: "Poor Ruolan, how could she have a sister like you?"
Ning Ruomei: ...
???
What, what does this old woman mean!
Ning Ruomei was about to get angry when Zhao Fu came over to call for help. Seeing Su Jin, he couldn't help but whisper, "When you see the Empress Dowager, do whatever she tells you to do. I've already notified Prince Rui, so you must wait until he arrives before you say anything..."
Being asked to copy the female virtues is obviously not a good thing!
Zhao Fu looked worried, but Su Jin was full of questions.
Why should we inform Prince Rui, huh?
Su Jin didn't understand. She felt that these people were looking at her in a strange way. Except for Ning Ruomei who had a smug and provocative look on her face, the rest of the people all had sympathetic looks on their faces.
“…”
Wait, why do you look so sympathetic towards her, huh?
Su Jin entered the Empress Dowager's bedroom with a lot of questions in his mind.
"Queen Mother, Su Jin is here."
Nanny Su had a smile on her face. Upon hearing that, the Empress Dowager put down the book in her hand, took off her reading glasses and looked back. Seeing that it was indeed Su Jin, her eyes reddened and she enthusiastically pulled Su Jin to her side and looked him up and down.
"Miss Su Liu, you have been wronged!"
Su Jin: ...
Wait, why is the Queen Mother so enthusiastic towards me?
She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but the Queen Mother not only did not let go, but also pulled her to sit next to her, and asked Nanny Su to serve all kinds of delicious food, such as snacks and tribute fruits. There were few fruits in this season, but if they were stored properly, they could still eat oranges, apples and the like.
Soon, the small table was filled with food. The Queen Mother took her hand and sat her down, stuffing the orange into her hand and said, "Eat, don't be so formal with me. My place is so dull every day. I would like a young person to come and make this dull place more lively!"
Su Jin was flattered. She stood up and said, "Empress Dowager, I can't do that. I am just a small concubine. Even if I am not a concubine, I am still a divorced woman. I really can't sit down..."
Oh my god, what kind of party is this? The widow dragged the divorced woman to eat and drink, and this widow is the most distinguished woman in the whole Great Zhou, and I am not familiar with her, but she insisted on dragging her to eat and drink. It's really embarrassing!
Su Jin was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room house with her toes, but the empress dowager was not embarrassed. Instead, she nodded with satisfaction.
It is indeed as the emperor said, except for the fact that she is a divorced woman, Su Jin is good in every way.
The Yong'an Marquisate actually didn't want such a perfect daughter-in-law. How short-sighted.
