Xu Shichu took his hand out of Zhou's hand without a smile and said, "Aunt Lao, I'm sorry, my niece is very good."
This eldest aunt is also interesting. When the original owner was not married, Zhou didn't say she missed her if she couldn't see her for half a year. Sometimes she even disliked the original owner for being an eyesore when she saw her. Now that she hasn't seen her for three months, it feels like she is eight years old. Zai had never seen anything like this before. Even the few emotions she felt swelled up as if they were being blown away, as if Xu Shichu was not her alienated and neglected niece, but her pampered biological daughter.
Xu Shichu let her act and said many affectionate words.
Not long after, after receiving the news, Xu Shichu's stepmother Li, stepsister Xu Huishu, cousin-in-law Wen, cousin Xu Xuerou and other female family members and children of the uncle's house poured into the hall. As for the male family members, they were either on official duty or on duty. Hanging out outside.
"Oh, you deserve to be the prime minister's wife. Look, she is all wearing gold and silver now, and she is very beautiful." Xu Huishu stared at the clothes on Xu Shichu's body and said in a strange and sour tone.
In fact, Xu Shichu's clothes are not very luxurious, but when the original owner was in the uncle's house, he wore clothes that were dusty and turned white after countless washes. They were very shabby, so this time he only wore clothes , Xu Huishu felt that she was glamorous, and she immediately became jealous.
Mrs. Li quickly tugged on her daughter's sleeves and added: "Haha, Sister Shu is so outspoken. She is envious of her sister for having new clothes to wear."
After all, Mrs. Li is older and more knowledgeable. Even though she hates her stepdaughter in her heart and wishes her to die, now that her stepdaughter has become the prime minister's wife, she is no longer a pathetic little person she can deal with, so she can only bear it in her heart. He was unwilling to accept the current situation and did not dare to let his daughter offend his stepdaughter again.
Xu Huishu suddenly felt as if her hair was fried and said angrily: "Mom! Who said I envy her? Does she deserve my envy? Look at how poor she is. She doesn't look like a prince even if she puts on a dragon robe..."
"Shut up! What are you talking about?! Don't you know the meaning of disaster coming from your mouth? Second brother and sister, Sister Shu cannot relax the rules, otherwise one day the uncle's house will be destroyed and we won't know what will happen. It's something!" Ms. Zhou stared at Xu Huishu with a sullen face and said to Ms. Li.
Mrs. Li was also shocked. She couldn't say anything about the prince's dragon robe, so she quickly had Xu Huishu taken away from the hall. Xu Huishu didn't want to leave at first, but Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Li both stared at her eagerly. She didn't dare to stay any longer.
When Xu Shichu saw someone leaving, he said slowly: "My sister has such a character, I don't know what kind of brother-in-law will be able to withstand it in the future? He is really 'outspoken'..."
When Mrs. Li heard Xu Shichu's pointed words, she endured it. Who made her feel inferior to others now?
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. I'm here to bring back the servants of the uncle's house today, so that it won't be my fault if the house is short of people." Xu Shichu said calmly.
"What servant of the uncle's house? Aren't these all the dowry of Sister Chu?" Zhou's heart skipped a beat and she pretended not to know, hoping that what Xu Shichu said was not what she was thinking.
However, she was disappointed. Xu Shichu said very directly: "Where is my dowry? The marriage contract is still in the uncle's house. The prime minister has already said that although the prime minister's house is not extremely wealthy, several servants are still If you can afford it, the wife of the prime minister’s house doesn’t need to order the servants of the uncle’s house. So I sent the person back to the eldest aunt. "
Xu Shichu pulled Luo Changqing's banner and said without any guilt.
Mrs. Zhou slapped her forehead and said with a sudden realization: "I am old and confused. My memory is not good as I get older, so I forgot to put the dowry body deed into Sister Chu's dowry. Oops, Sister Chu Don't blame auntie, auntie will ask someone to find your dowry body deed and give it to you."
Xu Shichu watched her acting with a half-smile: "Auntie, there is no need to act. Since I have brought everyone back, naturally I can't bring them back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Zhou's face suddenly turned cold, and she stared at Xu Shichu with a cold gaze, her words filled with threats:
"Sister Chu, don't talk so much. If you don't have a servant of your own, how can you survive in the Prime Minister's Mansion? The twins in the Prime Minister's Mansion are so big, they are not a fuel-efficient lamp. As a stepmother, even if you are bullied, you don’t have a trustworthy person to report back to your parents’ home. By then, it will be too late...
I think you'd better accept the deed of betrayal, otherwise you won't have anyone to turn to your parents' family for support. "
When Xu Shichu heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to use these sneaky, disrespectful servants. I don't know when I will sell them to the owner for glory. Auntie, just keep it for yourself."
Zhou held back her anger and said, "If you don't like this batch, then change a batch. There will always be a suitable one."
"No, no, I don't want any of them. Auntie, don't waste your efforts." Xu Shichu shook his head and said, "How dare I use the servants of the uncle's house."
"Sister Chu! Don't forget that you are from our uncle Ningyuan's house. No matter how much we argue, you can't take away your blood name as the daughter of the Xu family! Do you have to go against your mother's family? If not With the support of my mother-in-law, you were bullied to death in the Prime Minister’s Mansion and no one sought justice for you.”
Zhou simply used the name of her mother's family in an attempt to suppress Xu Shichu.
Is Xu Shichu the one who cares about this?
She sneered and said: "I don't believe you will support me. If someone in the Prime Minister's Office bullies me, you will only help them step on me, and will you stand on the side of the Prime Minister's Office and applaud me? Are you bullies afraid of the strong? How dare you go up against the powerful Prime Minister for me? Just don’t add insult to injury!"
Zhou choked at her words and turned pale. She couldn't refute, because what Xu Shichu said was right. If she was bullied by someone from the prime minister's house, the uncle's house would never help her to seek justice. It's useless to accuse her of being a coward, as she won't be able to please the prime minister, but she only says that the prime minister is bullying her well.
"Okay! As expected, my wings have become stiff after marrying into the prime minister's house. I used to be like a quail in the house, not daring to speak loudly, but now I dare to talk back to my elders... You ungrateful white-eyed wolf! Even my mother's family doesn't even dare to speak out. In my eyes, you have no respect for your elders, and you are greedy for vanity...and you will run rampant when you are proud. If the prime minister knew you were such a person, what would he do to you?"
Zhou was so angry that he gritted his teeth and started to accuse.
She was surprised and suspicious of Xu Shichu's behavior at this time, and felt that she had changed a lot after marrying into the prime minister's house. However, she soon felt that Xu Shichu's character in the house might have been an act, and she even thought that she had a deep mind.
"He can treat me how he likes. What does it have to do with you? Well, I brought him back to you. I won't keep him any more. From now on, I will be treated as if I am no longer in the uncle's house!" Xu Shichu stood up and stroked her. Touching his sleeves, he said casually, turned around and walked out.
