As soon as Luo Rui came back from outside, he was pulled by the people around Qin Mei: "Master, you are finally back. Madam has been waiting for you for a long time."
Luo Rui was confused: "What is she waiting for me for? I always come back at this time."
"Young madam, I have something to tell you." The servant replied with a dry smile.
Luo Rui actually wanted to go to his father to talk about the matter first, but now that his newlywed wife sent someone to wait for him, he couldn't lose her face, so he had to go back to Qin Mei first.
"Young madam! The young master is back!" The servant standing outside saw Luo Rui's figure from a distance, and ran back to report Qin Mei.
"Finally back!" Qin Mei stood up immediately, tidied herself up, and then asked the maid: "How do I look in this outfit? Do you want to change?"
The maid quickly shook her head: "No, young madam, you look very good in this outfit. It makes you extra elegant and noble. The young master will definitely like it."
Qin Mei then changed her mind and looked out the door anxiously.
As soon as she saw Luo Rui's shadow, she rushed towards him and said happily: "Husband, you are finally back."
"What do you want from me, madam?" Luo Rui asked.
Qin Mei immediately remembered the humiliation she suffered at Xu Shichu's place today, so she pouted and snorted and said:
"Not that stepmother of yours! I went to accompany her with good intentions. When I saw the flowers in her yard growing well, I wanted to ask her for a few. Who would have thought that she would be so stingy and not give them to me? She would even mock me for taking advantage of her. She took advantage of me, scolded me, and asked my servants to kick me out!
You don’t know that I was dragged out of her yard by two servants! She actually insulted me like this and didn't take me seriously at all. Husband, you must make the decision for me..."
When Luo Rui heard what she said, his face suddenly darkened, his brows furrowed, and he said, "Then why do you want her flowers when you are so nice? She treasures the flowers in her yard very much and rarely gives them away to anyone, even me. Last time my sister wanted a camellia for her, she had to spend money to buy it from Baihua Pavilion. You are a new wife, let alone one."
Qin Mei became even more angry after hearing this: "Husband, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that I am not worthy of her flowers? She is obviously a petty person, and besides, I am not an outsider. Even if I just ask her for a few flowers, she won't agree. She I don’t take you seriously either, otherwise I wouldn’t reject me for your sake!”
"The step-wife is different from others. She is a very cold and indifferent person. She only wants to live in her yard. She is even cold and indifferent to my father, let alone me. We are usually indifferent. Don't go looking for trouble with her!
If you want anything, you can just buy it from outside. If you can't buy it, ask someone to find it. Why do you have to ask her for it? "
Luo Rui said impatiently, not understanding why his wife wanted to argue with her stepmother.
"Husband, do you mean that I am making trouble unreasonably? It was obviously me who was bullied by her today. If you don't help me get revenge, just go back and blame me!" Qin Mei felt extremely aggrieved.
Luo Rui stroked his forehead and said with a headache: "If you hadn't said something too much, the step-wife would not have kicked you out. She has always adhered to the principle of 'I will not offend anyone if you don't offend me'. Don't try to take advantage of her again." Yes, stay away from her from now on."
"Okay, Luo Rui! You actually defended that bitch? Are you her husband or mine?" Qin Mei was furious when she saw that her husband was not on her side, and she spoke indiscriminately. said.
"Shut up!" Luo Rui's face darkened and he looked at her with cold eyes, "Do you want me to teach you what you can and cannot say? If you keep talking so freely, just stay in your room. , don’t go anywhere!”
Seeing Luo Rui's cold expression, Qin Mei finally recalled what she had said, and her anger suddenly subsided a lot. Although she was still aggrieved that he had not found a place for herself, she did not dare to anger him anymore and complained in a low voice. He said: "As expected, the stepmother is the stepmother. If you are not your biological child, you are not your biological child. You can even distinguish a few things clearly..."
Luo Rui glanced at her coldly again, and she finally shut up.
"No matter how rude the step-wife is to you, you can't call her a bitch. She was married by my father Ming Media. If you don't respect her, you disrespect my father. Do you understand?" Luo Rui stared closely at her. Looking at Qin Mei, he said,
"This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, not your country landlord's home. Don't let me hear those dirty words again..."
Qin Mei suddenly realized that Luo Rui was not a serious and indifferent person, so when he was angry, he became cold and stern. Qin Mei was very afraid of him. After hearing his warning, she could only nod her head.
Although Luo Rui has no mother-child affection for Xu Shichu, he is a well-educated person. He is not close to Xu Shichu, but he will not deliberately humiliate her, so when Qin Mei calls her a bitch, he will warn her.
"I won't come back to sleep tonight. I'm busy with something in the study. You should go to bed early." After saying that, Luo Rui walked away.
Qin Mei looked at his walking back and stamped her feet angrily, secretly hating that she had stolen the chicken but lost the rice. Not only did she not let her husband help her avenge her, but she pushed her husband away. This was the first time they had separated rooms since they got married. I am sleeping because of Xu Shichu!
Qin Mei hated Xu Shichu even more as she thought about it. Even though Luo Rui asked her not to provoke Xu Shichu, she just couldn't swallow it.
She couldn't borrow her husband's help to take revenge, but she could secretly make trouble for Xu Shichu. Anyway, the housekeeper power in the house was now in her hands. As long as she did it secretly, if the matter didn't get too big, the men wouldn't May know.
Qin Mei, who realized she had an idea, began her secret revenge, persevering in causing trouble for Xu Shichu.
She failed to win over the servants in Xu Shichu's yard, so she had to start elsewhere.
So Xu Shichu's food began to slowly deteriorate. The snacks he wanted either tasted bad or looked bad. The food he wanted to eat either had no ingredients or was delivered too late. The carriage when he left the house was either not enough or broken. The clothes were not repaired, and the fabrics distributed by the government as usual were either faded or torn...
Gradually, Xu Shichu came back to his senses and realized that Qin Mei was deliberately stumbling upon her.
"Madam, look at the dishes on this table, which one is worthy of being eaten?" Zhichun pointed at the food that had just been placed on the table and said angrily, "The people in the kitchen are getting more and more outrageous, and they dare to bring such things. I’m fooling you! Madam, you can’t bear it any longer this time!”
Xu Shichu nodded and asked, "The prime minister seems to be taking a break today, right? Is he still in the house now?"
The maid on the side replied: "Yes, the prime minister did not go out today, he has been in the house."
Xu Shichu ordered with satisfaction: "Put the dishes on the table back into the food box, and find out the fabrics and utensils distributed by Tianfu a few days ago. Let's go and deliver things to the Prime Minister and treat him to a meal."
