After paying homage to Shi Chunquin, Wang Jixue asked his servants to bring another piece of material and presented it to her like a treasure. He flattered her and said: "This is the best brocade. It was just given to me by the second master. I think
There is no use in keeping it for myself, so I specially gave it to my sister-in-law."
"Floating brocade?" Shi Chunfen was a little surprised. This was material that no one could buy even with money, but Chu Xiu actually rewarded it to her?
Ji Xiaoman's color changed instantly, and he couldn't hide the jealousy in his eyes.
Shi Chunfen was even more confused. Didn't Chu Xiu always beat her before? Why did he change his temper so quickly?
"Yes, sister-in-law." Wang Jixue said with a smile: "How dare I wear such good material, you should use it."
Shi Chunfen couldn't guess what trick she wanted to play, but it was hard to refuse. He turned to look at Li Yan, motioned for her to come forward and take it, and said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome."
After Li Yan took the ingredients, Wang Jixue greeted them for a few more words, then said goodbye and went into Chu Xiu's room.
During the whole process, she didn't even look at Ji Xiaoman, as if he didn't exist.
No matter how stupid Shi Chunfen was, she could still see that she was deliberately sowing discord and trying to affect her relationship with Ji Xiaoman. She glanced at Ji Xiaoman subconsciously and saw that the other person's face was as usual, without any jealousy, and she had a worried heart.
Put it down.
"Xiaoman, she wants to sow discord between us, don't be fooled." To be on the safe side, Shi Chunfen still reminded her.
Ji Xiaoman nodded with a smile, but in turn started to worry about her, "She gave you a brocade for no reason. Doesn't she want to harm you?"
The smile on Shi Chunfen's face faded. In fact, she also had such suspicions, so she chose to accept the piece of material because she wanted to see what the other party was playing.
"Don't worry, I will definitely check carefully." Shi Chunfen said bluntly: "If she dares to tamper with the materials, she will directly send the evidence into my hands."
Ji Xiaoman nodded slightly and said nothing more.
At the spring equinox, he returned to his yard.
After returning to the yard, she asked Li Yan to call in a doctor to inspect the floating brocade from top to bottom, inside and out, and she felt relieved after confirming that no manipulation had been done on it.
"Since there was no poison, why did she give me this stuff?" Shi Chunfen was puzzled.
"Maybe I just want to win your trust." Li Yan said bluntly: "For her now, the most difficult person to deal with is the second young mistress, so it is far better to have a good relationship with you than to go against you."
"Is that so?" The Spring Equinox always feels like it's not that simple.
But she was too lazy to think about it because there were more important things waiting for her to do right now.
"How is grandma doing now?"
From the moment the old lady left the table, she asked Li Yan to find someone to keep an eye on the old lady's activities, planning to wait until the other party's emotions calmed down before going to apologize. Li Yan was originally someone sent by the old lady, but she didn't expect that
The Spring Equinox would in turn ask her to do this kind of thing. Although she couldn't laugh or cry, she had to admit that her brain had finally improved a lot recently.
"After reciting Buddhist scriptures for a while, my mood is no longer so bad."
"Yeah." Shi Chunfen nodded slightly, took a look at the sky outside, and felt that he could linger for a while longer, so he changed his mind, "Let's go to the kitchen first."
Li Yan followed her to the kitchen, thinking that she was going to do her same thing again and pick some dishes to cheer up the old lady. Unexpectedly, she actually rolled up her sleeves and started cooking herself.
Since starting the business, she has only been able to enter the kitchen for a handful of times, and every time she comes in, she stands and lets others do the cooking. She has never tried to do it herself, so that Li Yan and others have almost forgotten her cooking skills.
Thinking about it carefully, the first time she got recognition from others was because of her cooking skills, so how could she let this skill become unfamiliar?
In less than half an hour, Shi Chunfen made four dishes and one soup, carefully put them in the food box and personally delivered them to the old lady's yard.
"Grandma, I saw you came back without eating much at noon, so I specially cooked some dishes for you to try."
Putting the dishes prepared by herself on the table, even though the old lady was still angry, her expression softened a lot at this moment, "You are already a young mistress, why are you cooking by yourself? You are not afraid of losing your dignity."
identity?"
"It depends on who you are cooking for." Shi Chunfen said while serving dishes to the old lady. "Cooking for grandma will not lose your status at any time."
The old lady managed to be amused by her, "Hey, you, when did your little mouth become so sweet?"
Shi Chunfen lowered his head and smiled, looking a little embarrassed. Her reactions had indeed become much more sensitive recently. I don't know if it was because of Chu Ling's absence, but she felt a little more alert inexplicably.
Under her service, the old lady ate a little of every dish. Although she didn't use much, it was very honorable to her.
When the old lady put down the bowl and chopsticks, Shi Chunfen said seriously: "I'm sorry, grandma, I let you down."
She stood up, knelt down, and kowtowed to the old lady uprightly.
The old lady looked at her, still smiling, but extremely serious, "I said, I don't like to hear apologies."
Shi Chunfen's expression became more and more ashamed, "When I brought my cousin in, I never thought that such a day would come."
She didn't mean to let Yu Atu seduce the young master in the house, but the result was still bad.
How could the old lady not understand this? It was precisely because she believed so much in Shi Chunfen's character that no one cared about it when Yu Atu came into the house. Shi Chunquin was stupid, but she was careless, so careless that she let such a person
The wild girl came into the house and became the fourth mistress of the Chu family. In fact, she was the only one who was angry.
"Forget it." The old lady sighed, "The rice has become cooking, there is no point in talking about it anymore."
Fortunately, the person Yu Atu fell in love with was Chu Run. Although it was a pity, he was still from the second house and it was not their turn to interfere.
Hearing the helplessness in her tone, Shi Chunfen felt even more guilty. She knew that nothing she could do could make up for what happened this time. She just hoped that she could do her best as the eldest mistress and do more for the Chu family.
matter.
When we came out of the old lady's place, it was already dark. Calculating the time, the dinner was almost over. Chu Run might be preparing to go to the bridal chamber.
A thing that originally had nothing to do with her, whether because she was too worried about Yu Atu or something else, Shi Chunquin subconsciously walked near Chu Run's yard.
Because of the second poisoning incident, he completely broke with Chu Quan and moved to the courtyard while he was getting married. Now his courtyard is completely separated from the second room, making it difficult for Chu Quan to attack him again. Perhaps this is why he is willing to stay.
One of the conditions for being in the Chu family.
