Luo Rui's decision to marry Qin Zhixing's family was a decision made by Luo Changqing and his son, and had nothing to do with Xu Shichu. She just fulfilled her duties as a stepmother in this marriage, and when she saw Qin Mei, who was about to become her stepdaughter-in-law, she also You're welcome, she is the next generation mistress of the prime minister's house after all, Xu Shichu will not be an annoying stepmother.
On the other hand, when Uncle Ningyuan's house learned that Luo Rui was engaged to an unknown woman, it was like being bombed. The eldest aunt came to Xu Shichu in anger to find out about the situation, and even asked her to stop this. Family affairs.
How could Xu Shichu listen to her? Naturally, he rejected her directly and drove her away without mercy.
She was crazy to match up with Xu Xuerou and Luo Rui. Wasn't this the original owner's tragedy? Why did Xu Shichu do such a thankless thing that was detrimental to himself and others?
Her stepson's marriage was abandoned, but she didn't expect her stepdaughter to come to her instead.
Xu Shichu looked at Luo Yaqing, who was dressed richly and gorgeously in front of him, and almost couldn't recognize that this was his noble and elegant stepdaughter.
Before she got married, Luo Yaqing wore relatively simple and elegant dresses such as light green, goose yellow and light purple, and her jewelry was expensive and not expensive. But today when she went back to her parents' home, she wore a red dress and a purple dress, and she even had many hairpins in her hair. With her hairpin and hairpin, she is a completely wealthy young woman.
Xu Shichu didn't know that Luo Yaqing was in trouble. Of course she liked elegant and refined dress, but after marrying into the Shunyi Prince's Palace, she had to "do as the Romans do in the country".
Her clothes were a little plainer and she wore less jewelry. Her concubine's sister-in-law and the concubine's sisters-in-law began to ridicule her, saying that she was too petty and aloof, and that she couldn't stand the luxury and wealth of the palace...
Even if Luo Yaqing explained to them that she was not arrogant or petty, she just liked this style, and she was not dissatisfied with the rich and gorgeous style of the house, but those sisters-in-law were already indifferent, how could they listen to her? explanation of? So she still used her dress to make excuses every time, especially in front of Princess Shunyi.
After talking too much, Princess Shunyi also had objections to her. In order not to cause trouble, Luo Yaqing had to imitate them and dress up luxuriously.
But this change gave her sisters-in-law a reason to say that she was indeed fake and high-minded. Didn't she show her true colors even after she had been pretending for so long? If she really likes to dress elegantly, how can she change her style so easily?
... When Luo Yaqing heard their words, she almost gritted her teeth. She felt aggrieved and unwilling. Wasn't she changing her style just to blend in with the palace and them? Why is she still being ridiculed after she changed her ways?
Luo Yaqing was aggrieved and angry, so she told Zhou Wencun about the matter, thinking that Zhou Wencun would comfort her and share her hatred, but she never expected that Zhou Wencun would say that she was making a fuss out of a molehill and overthinking, and that her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law It was just a few casual words. She cared too much but was not broad-minded enough...
So Luo Yaqing finally felt the grievances she received from her in-laws and husband after she got married.
But she couldn't show dissatisfaction and grievance, otherwise she would be narrow-minded and too artificial.
Unable to vent her anger, she just wanted to escape to her parents' home to relax, so she informed the princess and wanted to return to the prime minister's house.
Who knew that when the princess learned that she was going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she called her over, held her hand lovingly and said:
"I heard that there are many exotic flowers and plants growing in your stepmother's yard? Last time I saw a camellia named Wusechidan at Mrs. Wen Shangshu's house. It bloomed with five colors of flowers. It was gorgeous.
Good boy, tell your stepmother for me. I really like that five-color red elixir. I want a pot. I wonder if she can give me a pot as a gift? "
Luo Yaqing's eyes widened after hearing her words. She didn't expect that the princess would suddenly make such a request.
Her relationship with Xu Shichu was very dull. They usually kept their relationship close to each other, let alone any friendship. So how could she have the confidence to tell her stepmother that her mother-in-law wanted a pot of five-color red pills? Or given as a gift?
Luo Yaqing's face turned hot. She had never asked for other people's things with confidence, but she couldn't do it if she was asked to beg for the same thing as her stepmother in a low voice.
But now if she doesn't do it, she will offend the princess, and if she does, she won't be able to hold her head high in front of her stepmother, so she is in a dilemma.
"What? You don't want to? It's just a pot of flowers, and you can't even say a word to your stepmother?" Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, the princess said coldly and threw away her hand.
"No, no, I'm not unwilling, I just don't know if the step-wife is willing..." Luo Yaqing said in embarrassment, lowering her head in shame.
"She is a stepmother. As Luo Xiang's only daughter, you just made a small request to her. How dare she refuse to agree? Aren't you afraid that you will say bad things about her in front of your father?" the princess said disdainfully, and then doubtfully Looking at her, "Is it possible that you don't want to do your best for me?"
"Of course not. If the mother-in-law likes it, the daughter-in-law will definitely try her best to find it for the mother-in-law!" Luo Yaqing quickly assured her.
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news." The princess said with satisfaction, "By the way, you can stay at your parents' house for a few more days this time."
So Luo Yaqing returned to her parents' home with such an embarrassing task. Originally, she wanted to come back to relax, but now she felt even heavier.
When she came back, Luo Changqing and Luo Rui were still on duty outside and had not returned home.
Luo Yaqing came directly to Xu Shichu.
Xu Shichu glanced at her lightly. She was dressed rich and impressive, but she felt uneasy and lacked confidence after making that request in front of him.
"You said Princess Shunyi likes my five-color red red camellia and wants one?" Xu Shichu asked casually.
"Yes, the concubine said she saw her at Wen Shangshu's house and fell in love with her at first sight." Luo Yaqing tried her best to remain calm and indifferent in front of her stepmother.
As the apple of Luo Xiang's eye, where had she asked for help before? If she wanted something, her father and brother would deliver it to her as soon as possible.
But now that she is married, in order to please her mother-in-law, she has to bow her head in front of her stepmother, whom she used to look down upon.
"That's really unfortunate. I only have two left. One of them I plan to put up for auction at Baihua Pavilion next month. I keep the remaining one for myself to enjoy and cannot give it to others. ." Xu Shichu said straight to the point.
When Luo Yaqing heard that one plant was going to be auctioned, she immediately said, "Can you not put that plant in Baihua Pavilion for auction? I can buy it directly with the money?"
"No, my Baihua Pavilion is famous for auctioning rare flowers and plants. Besides, I have already spread the word that the five-color red red camellia will be auctioned next month. If it suddenly stops auctioning, it will damage the reputation of my flower shop. It does no harm at all." Xu Shichu said frankly.
