On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the sky was not beautiful, the rain was like silk, and the sky was gloomy.
Anyang Prince’s Mansion West Courtyard.
Wang Huan'er wore an exquisite waist-cinching long dress today, with a pair of valuable gold steps on her bun. Her earrings were also inlaid with sapphires. She also wore an exquisite makeup.
The rouge and gouache she used today is also the top layer.
In an instant, she felt like she had become a noble lady overnight.
At the same time, Zhu Xiu was so shocked that her eyes almost fell off when she saw her daughter's exquisite appearance.
"Huan'er, you look like a maid, you look like a young lady!"
Wang Huan'er held the gilt jade hairpin in her bun and tried it on. When her mother said this, she looked unhappy and said slightly angrily: "Mom, when did your daughter ever work as a maid?"
."
"Yes, yes, my daughter has been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child, but nothing is worse than the ladies from wealthy families. The way she dresses like this makes her even inferior to them."
Zhu Xiu went to get the jewelry on the dressing table again...
Wang Huan'er quickly grabbed it and said, "Mom, don't break it. This is worth a lot of money. These are all gifts from him."
"You gave your body to him, when will he marry you?" Zhu Xiu said worriedly.
"After the matter was done, Mrs. Shen personally welcomed me in. Two pieces of jewelry were given to me by her. She said she would buy me other jewelry when I came in." Wang Huan'er's face was full of sweetness.
Zhu Xiu was a little timid and said: "The princess is not a master who is easy to bully. If she finds out, how can we still work in the palace...Does Mr. Yu really mean what he says?"
"Mom, don't worry, I've already contacted you. You and dad have been slaves of the palace for life. When will you be willing to buy me this kind of jewelry worth a thousand taels of silver? Only when we become masters can we truly live in luxury.
, wearing luxurious clothes and skirts, gold, silver and jade ornaments, and being served by groups of servants." Wang Huan'er said.
Zhu Xiu also clenched his fingers and gritted his silver teeth. His daughter was right. Even if his family was exempted from slavery, they were still ordinary people. They were common people. No matter how hard they worked for a few lifetimes, they would never be able to become masters.
Now there is such an opportunity to be the master. Since Huan'er has seized it, she must take advantage of it.
Mu Lingwei's background was not high, and it was only because she was married to Prince Anyang that she had so many servants to serve her. Even Aunt Cui served her carefully.
She can be the master or the princess, and her daughter can also be the master.
Zhu Xiu whispered again: "When something happens, we will put all the responsibilities on Lin Sanniang. Seeing that she is still arrogant, a widow dares to occupy the kitchen steward."
Wang Huan'er said angrily: "If she wants to occupy it, let her occupy it? Aunt Cui is also an old fool. She found such a person to be the kitchen manager for no reason."
Zhu Xiu had long disliked Lin Sanniang. She had become the kitchen steward just two months after arriving. Why?
So, the two of them boldly did what they said.
It's nothing more than giving some sweat medicine, not killing anyone.
So Zhu Xiu got up before dawn because she had to arrange for someone to serve Mu Lingwei to burn incense at Tanxiang Temple.
Wang Huan'er took the initiative to ask Ying to serve him closely.
-
On the other side, as soon as Mu Lingwei got up, she saw a light rain falling outside. She didn't want to go out in this weather, but everything was arranged, so she had to go.
She sat in front of the dressing mirror, and Zhen'er tied her hair into a simple bun. She inserted the jade hairpin that never left her body into the bun, and looked up and down, left and right, and found that she was quite satisfied and solemn.
Zhen'er said: "Sister-in-law Zhu went to the kitchen before dawn. It's a pity that the bone soup that Aunt Lin started making last night was all wasted by her. Aunt Zhu has worked in the palace for half her life, and I didn't expect that she would help. Outsiders harm us."
Mu Lingwei listened to her sigh, but didn't take it seriously, and said lightly: "Sooner or later, a person like her staying in the palace will be a time bomb. After today's incident, their family will be sold. What is Wang Huan'er's future? It has nothing to do with the palace, and Jun Mohan is generous to their family, but she has a higher heart than the sky, and everything is based on a plan. We will accompany her no matter what she wants."
Wang Huan'er didn't know that Mu Lingwei had been keeping people watching Shen Yu's movements. Her contact with Shen Yu naturally fell into Mu Lingwei's ears. Shen Yu's approach to Wang Huan'er naturally had a purpose.
She also heard that Wang Huan'er wanted to break into Jun Mohan's house before she moved in. Didn't she know that this sinister prince killed many women who wanted to sleep with him when he was in Linzhou?
After leaving the main courtyard, Mu Lingwei saw Bai Changyan again.
Bai Changyan glanced at the sky, which was dim, and said, "Master, are you going out?"
Mu Lingwei asked in front of others: "What's going on with you these days?"
She looked at Bai Changyan again and saw that he was wearing a brocade robe and suddenly transformed into a handsome nobleman, and said, "Why are you suddenly rich?"
"Master also discovered it." He smiled bitterly and said, "My father prepared these for me. He also left me a lot of money at home, as well as the house deed and land deed. I can be considered a rich man."
Seeing that he was smiling but not smiling, Mu Lingwei asked, "Are you back home? No wonder you've always been so arrogant these past few days."
Bai Changyan stared at her, "Do you know which home I'm going back to?"
Mu Lingwei shook her head.
He said: "I went back to the home where my parents and I once lived. Only when I went back this time did I find that the place had completely changed. My father not only built a big house, but also hired servants, and some people called me Young Master." , I also have many piles and fields, where many medicinal materials are grown..."
"So you've been running back and forth between the palace and that home these days?" Mu Lingwei said.
Bai Changyan nodded, "Am I particularly worthless? Now I realize that I don't hate him that much. I thought I wanted him to die before. I thought he killed my mother because he didn't take her back." In the Bai family, my mother will never die, but if he really dies, I won’t feel happy either."
"Master, do you hate your father? He did this to you and Xiaoyu." Bai Changyan asked.
Mu Lingwei was a little embarrassed because she hid his life experience from Bai Changyan.
She hates no one, why should she hate him? What's the use of hating him?
He is not her biological father.
"Why should I punish myself by hating him?" She added: "It's useless for me to hate him. I want him to die so that he can avenge me. But Xiaoyu is the same as you, he doesn't want him to die."
"Is your father treating you well?" Mu Lingwei saw that he seemed to have fallen into an abyss.
Bai Changyan was stunned. When he was very young, he didn't know that his father was from the Bai family. They lived in the town, a family of three. He only knew that his mother was very happy, and he was also very happy.
At that time, he was very kind to him and his mother, but he was a liar. He had already married and had a son, and he came to deceive his mother's feelings.
"If you think remembering some happy things can make you happier, wouldn't it be better if you just remember the happy things? Why bother yourself? Life is moving forward. Didn't you live well in Linzhou?
Are you pretty free and easy? Why have you become like your mother-in-law when you come back?" Mu Lingwei said lightly.
Bai Changyan opened his mouth and smiled slightly, "When did I become a mother-in-law? I am a man."
