Gu Shufei understood what it meant to give up when something was good, after all, she could only bully others like this thanks to Lu Shi Yanzai.

Lu Shiyan was about to leave, so it would be better for him to just accept it as soon as he could.

"Thank you for your hard work, mother. Please take mother back to try these snacks."

Gu Shufei held out a box of snacks and signaled Cui Yan to come forward and take it, then handed it to the maid next to Hu.

The maid glanced at Mrs. Hu and took it.

"Shu Fei should go back to his room early, your father will be back soon."

Mrs. Hu calmly nodded slightly towards Gu Shufei, as if what happened just now had never happened.

Seeing this, Gu Shufei nodded like a well-behaved daughter and replied meekly, "Yes, mother."

Mrs. Hu rolled her eyes vaguely and turned away.

Gu Shufei slept very soundly that night, sleeping until dawn.

Early the next morning, at Gu Yuanzheng's instruction, the Hu family invited several embroiderers to measure Gu Shufei's clothes and prepare for the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

"Have you been to Bixia Courtyard?"

Gu Shufei spoke casually and then raised her hand at the embroiderer's signal.

"As for the girl, she has already been there before."

The embroiderer answered carefully after remembering the size.

She also secretly inquired before leaving that the eldest daughter and the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion had a minor quarrel.

"oh."

As if it was really a casual question, Gu Shufei quickly took over the matter and became curious, "How many days will it take for these clothes to be ready?"

"I guarantee that the girl will get it in three days."

"Um."

This embroiderer girl is quite confident in herself, but she doesn't know whether the clothes will be good or bad by then.

She was not at all relieved about the Bai Lianhua who lived in Bixia Courtyard.

The embroiderer's skills are really impressive, and this dress is really exquisite.

The right hem of Ruyi Yunqi brocade interlocks with the collar, the light-colored drooping sleeves, and the lower skirt are trailing to the floor. Together with the set of emerald-pointed noodles that were sent to her, she looks so gorgeous.

"The girl will definitely be the most outstanding one that day."

Cuiyan looked at this set of clothes and hair with joy.

"Relying on clothes and good looks is called sensationalism."

After hearing this, Cuiyan pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word, and then began to check their clothes. She only knew that the eldest lady was the most outstanding one.

"This clothes..."

Cuiyan picked up the clothes, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly wanted to call back the embroiderer who had been out for three quarters of an hour.

"what happened?"

Gu Shufei saw Cui Yan's expression was wrong, and immediately grabbed her clothes and followed the gaze of Cui Liu, the little girl next to her.

I was shocked to see that the back of the clothes had been cut into strips with scissors. It was completely unwearable and there was no time to repair it.

"Cui Yan is back."

Gu Shufei stopped Cui Yan from going out now.

"Miss, what should we do?"

"Tomorrow is the Hundred Flowers Banquet. If I don't have any clothes..."

Cuiliu also became anxious beside him.

"Who did you meet when you came back just now?"

Gu Shufei sat down calmly, holding the clothes in her hand and wondering what she was thinking.

"Second Miss."

Cuiliu replied without thinking.

"That's right, you know my good sister can come up with such a damaging move."

"It's too late to make clothes now. The Hundred Flowers Banquet is not an ordinary banquet..." Cuiyan paced back and forth in the room, opening the wardrobe to see which set she hadn't worn yet.

"If the young lady wore the clothes of the past, she would be laughed at."

Cui Liu saw Cui Yan's actions and stamped her feet, and anxiously pulled her sleeves to stop her.

"Okay, what are you two little girls so anxious about?"

"Cuiyan, go and tell your mother that you can't wear the clothes anymore. If your mother asks, tell her that the clothes were sent by the second lady."

"Madam, she..."

Cuiyan was a little worried, after all, that happened just a few days ago.

Now everyone basically knows who the other party is, not to mention that there are some good-hearted servants who are behind the scenes to arrange the affairs between Gu Shufei and Hu.

"All you have to do is take these clothes and give them to my 'good mother' without asking any questions."

Gu Shufei waved her hand and stopped explaining.

"yes."

Cuiyan then retreated to Hu's yard obediently.

In just one cup of tea, Gu Shuyan led Cui Yan into the courtyard, followed by three or two slaves holding gift boxes.

"These are my sister's spare clothes. Please don't dislike them."

Gu Shuyan looked at Gu Shufei, who was sitting in the main seat, with a hint of ridicule.

"If you don't mind, let's go."

Gu Shufei looked at Gu Shuyan calmly, as if he was looking at a clown.

"I don't know what's wrong..." Gu Shuyan, who was about to curse angrily, seemed to have thought of something and was able to hold back her anger without saying anything else, turning around and walking away.

The servants who followed Gu Shuyan also put down the gift boxes in their hands one by one and exited the yard in an orderly manner.

A group of people came and went in a hurry.

When there were only three masters and servants left in the house, Cuiyan spoke under Cui Liu's curious eyes,

"Miss, madam, she didn't get angry after hearing those words. She scolded the second young lady and even smiled and asked the second young lady to lead the slave to get another set of spare clothes."

"The madam also asked the slave to come back and tell the lady that she had been wronged, and even gave her a lot of jewelry."

Cuiyan opened the wooden boxes one by one as if offering treasures. There were some pearls lying quietly inside.

"It's just to win people's hearts. Although not all of these pearls are outdated, you can pick a few."

"How is this good?"

Cui Yan and Cui Liu shook their heads and took a step back.

"Since Mrs. Hu gave it to me, it is my thing. I can use it as I like."

After saying that, Gu Shufei picked out a few less eye-catching hairpins and threw them to the two of them, "Since you are following me, you should understand my temperament and keep it as long as you want."

Cuiyan and Cuiliu looked at each other with lowered eyes, then caught the hairpin thrown by Gu Shufei and held it tightly in their palms.

"Second Miss, she..."

Cuiyan is still a little worried. After all, the nominal daughter-in-law is the second young lady. If the eldest lady offends her, she may not have a good life.

She could imagine that the good life she had now was not due to Gu Shuyan and Hu.

"It's just a clown, don't worry too much, you two can go down."

"It's been a long time, and I need to take a rest."

After hearing this, the two people stepped back together and carefully and gently closed the door.

Gu Shufei then turned her attention to the spare piece of clothing.

It's not ugly, it's a light green dress, but would Gu Shuyan be so kind as to deliver it to her door in person?

You can tell it's a scam just by thinking about it on your knees. It's better to give up the space and use modern instruments to test it for peace of mind.

Inside the space laboratory.

Gu Shufei stood in front of a white instrument about half the height of a person's waist with her clothes in her hand, and pressed the clothes with the instrument.

Then there was a beeping sound from the instrument, and an A4 paper printed out from under the instrument.

"Good guy, you can use such a high-tech thing just to harm me?"
