The girl who wears fast

Chapter 29 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (29)

Du Zhao's arrival didn't bring much change to Xu Shichu's life. After all, most of the time Du Zhao was taken care of by servants, and Xu Shichu only teased and played with him occasionally.

It's impossible for Xu Shichu to treat Du Zhao as his own child all at once, after all, he didn't have any feelings before, and Xu Shichu's soul is a beast, so it's strange that she can immediately give birth to a human cub.

So Xu Shichu just regarded Du Zhao as a relative's child at the beginning, teased him when he was happy, and asked his servants to take care of him when he was unhappy, but Du Zhao was a likable child, except for the first few days when he missed his parents and cried Shout out, and then gradually become lively and cute.

After recovering from his illness, he was also fed to be chubby. He looks cute, and he staggers around in the yard with three heads, playing hide-and-seek with the maids, laughing and laughing every day, and he loves to laugh. He is likable, so Xu Shichu gradually fell in love with him, and took him with him everywhere.

The day of Luo Yaqing's marriage is coming soon, Xu Shichu is not very busy, after all, she does not need to deal with the wedding, she only needs to show up on necessary occasions.

On the day of the wedding, the Prime Minister's Mansion was very lively. Luo Xiang married his daughter, and all the famous people in the capital came. Xu Shichu, as the nominal wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, naturally wanted to come out to socialize with other wives.

Du Zhao was young, and Xu Shichu was worried that people in the mansion would ignore him because they were busy with the wedding, so he took him with him. Of course, this was also because he was obedient, and he didn't cry when he met many strangers.

"Hey, which family does this child belong to? He looks really good." Mrs. Li, the servant of the Ministry of Rites who was barely a good friend of Xu Shichu asked.

"It's my distant nephew, a relative from my mother's natal side. There is no one in his family, and he is following me now." Xu Shichu took this opportunity to reveal Du Zhao's identity, so as not to cause other unnecessary inquiries.

"What a pitiful little girl! Fortunately, Mrs. Xu is kind and merciful. It is a blessing in disguise that this child can stay by your side." Mrs. Li patted Du Zhao's small head and said.

Du Zhao raised his fair and tender face to look at the beautiful woman, pouted his little mouth, raised his little hand and pushed her away, but he didn't cry and protest.

Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing when she saw his cute little appearance.

The other wives also repeatedly praised Young Master Du for his extraordinary bearing at such a young age, his stability and well-behaved... These exaggerated words made the corners of Xu Shichu's mouth twitch. Du Zhao was only over two years old, and it was thanks to them that he could say such words without blushing or panting.

Xu Shichu wanted to socialize with other wives, so he apologized to Mrs. Li and the others, and left temporarily, but he didn't want to be grabbed by the arm before he walked too far.

"Chu girl, now that you are a high-ranking wife of the Xiangfu, you really forget your ancestors and don't even recognize your mother's family! We have been here for so long, and you don't come to say hello. If I don't come to you, are you planning to be Don't you know?" The aunt's harsh words rang in Xu Shichu's ears like strings of beads.

Xu Shichu made a clever effort to free his arm from the aunt's hand before looking at the aunt.

I haven't seen each other for almost a year, and my aunt Zhou has become even older and haggard. Her face is full of wrinkles, her eyes are pouches almost reaching her chin, her eyeballs are cloudy, her nasolabial folds are deep, and her demeanor makes her look fierce. Can scare a child to cry.

It is born from the heart, the eldest aunt is aging so fast, I think this year will not be easy.

That's right, whether she wanted her granddaughter to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to hook up with the Prime Minister's son, or she wanted to plot Xu Shichu's re-opening of the thriving Zuixiang Pavilion and Houji Bookstore, she was unsuccessful, but Xu Shichu counterattacked until Ningyuan Bo's Mansion finally earned money. The business of Qian's shops has been bleak.

Life in Uncle Ningyuan's mansion became more difficult because of this. It's strange that the eldest aunt is not haggard and old. Unfortunately, she never had a chance to find Xu Shichu for revenge. Today she finally came to the prime minister's mansion to look for Xu Shichu in a fair manner, so naturally she would not let it go easily.

"Auntie was joking, I don't know you, and you come here just the same? Speaking of forgetting your ancestors, I don't dare to take it for granted. After all, I didn't corrupt the property in the uncle's mansion." Xu Shichu said with a smile,

"I don't know if the ancestors know that the property in the mansion is about to be defeated by you unworthy descendants, will they crawl out of their graves in anger?"

When the eldest aunt heard her sarcasm, she immediately gritted her teeth angrily: "You have the guts to say it? If it weren't for you, how could the business at home be so poor that it was about to close down? It's all your fault!"

"I don't dare to do it. I'm just an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye. Who told you to attack my shop first? You calculated that I wouldn't allow me to fight back? If you want to be a thief, you must be prepared to be beaten. I have already Seeing that you are my mother's family, I am showing mercy, otherwise I will make you suffer even more." Xu Shichu said cruel words with a smile.

"Also, before I got married, the uncle's family was unable to make ends meet, so don't blame me for being a prodigal, I don't admit it!"

Xu Shichu said another sentence mercilessly, and the eldest aunt's face turned livid with anger, and she almost fainted.

"You, you..." The auntie pointed at Xu Shichu with trembling fingers, wanting to curse, but since this was the prime minister's mansion, a wedding banquet was going on here, she didn't dare to make a fuss, so she almost rolled her eyes.

The aunt paused, but Xu Shichu's stepmother, Li Shi, came to the aunt's side for some reason. She hugged the sister-in-law who was about to faint, and then pulled out a fake smile and said:
"Since you know that your natal family is struggling to make ends meet, as a daughter of the Xu family, you should do your part for the family. No matter how we used to be, we have raised you anyway. Shouldn't you repay the kindness of raising you? "

Hearing this, Xu Shichu couldn't help but look up and down at his stepmother, Li Shi. As expected, Shi Farewell looked at her with admiration for three days. When Li Shichu saw Xu Shichu in the past, he would only scold and humiliate him ferociously. How could he give her a smiling face?
But now she not only gave a smiling face, but also knew how to calmly use the grace of nurturing to kidnap her morally!
It's a pity that Xu Shichu is the one who will be kidnapped by her morality?Not to mention that Uncle Ningyuan's mansion didn't treat the original owner as a human being before, even if the uncle's mansion really raised the original owner well, Xu Shichu would not be able to harm his own interests, repaying grievances with kindness to raise the wretched wretch of Uncle Ningyuan's mansion.

"The grace of nurturing? You mean the grace of raising me like a mouse in the gutter? Do you want this kind of grace? I will still find someone to insult, beat and abuse you. This is what I should do. Repaying the kindness of upbringing."

Xu Shichu said with a sneer, "If I hadn't been able to do some embroidery work and sneak out of the house to sell a few pennies to buy steamed buns, I would have starved to death long ago. Today is your turn to come to ask me to repay the kindness of raising you?!"
