23 Hypocrisy
What should we do then?
Gu Youting was unwilling to give in, so the old lady gave him an idea.
"Let Liu dress up as your servant, so no one will find out."
Gu Youting was worried that Liu would not agree.
How embarrassing it is to dress up as a servant!
"My son knows."
The old lady glared at Gu Youting. Even at his age, he was still a worry to her.
After Gu Youting returned, he told Liu about this matter. Liu said that she didn't mind as long as she could be with Gu Youting.
But there is still some resentment in my heart.
The old lady is such a busybody.
It had nothing to do with her, but he had to interfere and even wanted her to dress up as a servant?
She will never compromise.
This matter soon reached Shen's ears.
This old lady actually wanted Liu to dress up as a servant and follow Gu Youting to attend the Spring Return Banquet?
I'm sure Liu would not be convinced.
Of course, she would definitely let Liu get what she wanted.
"Xiao Tao, go and make me a set of clothes according to Liu's measurements and send it to my yard when the time comes."
Xiao Tao didn't understand, "Why did Madam use Liu's size to make clothes?"
Shen smiled and said, "Of course it's made for Liu. Doesn't she want to attend the Spring Festival Banquet? Naturally, she has to dress up nicely. New clothes and new jewelry are indispensable. The Marquis' Mansion is also a wealthy family, so we can't embarrass ourselves."
The higher you praise someone, the harder he will fall.
Xiao Tao knew that the lady must have an idea, so she didn't say much and agreed directly.
When Liu learned that the old lady had agreed to let Gu Youting take her to the Spring Return Banquet, she was so excited.
This means that the old lady also recognizes her as the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion.
Naturally, everything in this marquisate had to be under her control.
Who is this Shen? He is just a dying man.
So her tail was raised to the sky and she didn't take anyone seriously.
The servants in the mansion all had complaints about him.
I don't know what kind of seductive tricks this Liu used to confuse the Marquis and the old lady, and she even thought of herself as the mistress of this Marquis's mansion?
There is only one mistress in their hearts, and that is Shen.
Because they all knew clearly that the Marquis' Mansion was no longer as powerful as it used to be, and if they wanted to keep this job, they had to rely on the Shen family.
What's more, this Liu looks like she is from a humble family and has a coquettish look on her face. How can she be like Shen, who is dignified and elegant?
The things they did were all shameful and they were very disgusted with them.
However, the Marquis really liked Liu, and the two of them were flirting with each other, which was really unbearable to watch.
This Liu was nominally the Marquis's cousin, but in reality they had been having an affair for a long time.
Now that the madam is seriously ill, the Marquis does not try to treat her, but instead hangs out with this cousin.
It is said that the Marquis only has his wife in his heart and has been devoted to her for many years, but in fact, it is all a lie.
Although the servants had many complaints, they dared not speak out and could only complain to Xiao Tao in private.
Xiao Tao briefly told Shen all the news she had learned, which was very unworthy.
"Madam has devoted herself to this mansion for so many years. Now she is bedridden, but the Marquis doesn't even come to visit her. He even hangs out with that Liu. This is really too much."
Shen Jingxiang already knew what kind of people this family was like, so naturally she didn't have any extravagant hopes.
Besides, she didn't want to see this group of people. Otherwise, it would be so tiring to pretend to be sick!
"Just keep an eye on it. Are the clothes I asked you to make ready?"
"Yes, it's at the accounting office. When will it be brought over?"
Ana Shen smiled and shook her head, “No need to take it, just leave it at the accounting office.”
Since Liu was going to attend the Spring Return Banquet, how could she not wear new clothes? And this dress was prepared for Liu.
Such a gorgeous and dazzling dress will surely make Liu look like a fairy and become the focus of the whole audience.
Doesn't she want to attend the banquet and show off? Naturally, we have to satisfy her.
Thinking of attending the banquet, Liu went to the shop to look at ready-made clothes. She happened to see a set of clothes and saw that the price was five hundred taels.
She had been squandering a lot over the years, so naturally she had no spare money, so she could only go back to ask Gu Youting for help.
Gu Youting didn't expect that a piece of clothing that Liu liked would cost five hundred taels.
He was well aware of the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion, and it would be difficult to squeeze out the five hundred taels.
But seeing Liu's pleading, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed.
I was thinking of going to Gu Haoxuan and the old lady to see if I could get five hundred taels together!
Gu Youting first went to the accounting office to see how much silver was left there.
He had just arrived at the accounting office when his attention was attracted by a pair of new clothes.
How come the accountant has a new set of clothes? It looks very gorgeous. I'm sure Liu will like it very much.
He immediately asked the servants about the gorgeous clothes and found out that they were prepared by Shen. Because Shen was ill, the clothes had been kept in the accounting office.
Gu Youting thought that it would cost five hundred taels for Liu to buy clothes, which was a considerable expense.
It would be better to give the clothes to Liu, so as to save the five hundred taels. Besides, Shen is already ill and can only wait for death. She will not be able to wear such good clothes, so it would be better to give it to Liu.
Gu Youting gave the clothes to Liu.
"This is the new dress I bought for you, try it on and see if it fits."
Liu picked up the clothes and took a look at them, confirming that they were new and very gorgeous, and would definitely look good on her.
She tried the clothes on with some doubt, but unexpectedly found that the clothes fit her perfectly, as if they were tailor-made for her.
Originally, Liu was still doubting whether Gu Youting would just buy a piece of clothing to fool her.
But now after putting on the clothes, I immediately changed my mind.
She threw herself into Gu Youting's arms and kissed him.
"My Lord, you are so kind to me that you even ordered a new set of clothes for me. I like it very much."
Gu Youting admitted it shamelessly.
"You are the woman I love the most. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? Just as long as you like it."
Liu looked at herself in the mirror several times and liked herself more and more.
The dress has peony patterns and the robe is mainly dark red. When worn by Liu, it looks very noble.
Especially her charming and affectionate appearance made her look even more charming.
She was confident that if she attended the Spring Return Banquet, she would be able to outperform all the other female relatives.
But it seems like something is missing.
