Shi Ru only left after dinner at Wen Shichu's place. Even though they were going to get married soon, he didn't want to miss any time with his fiancée, so he stayed at Wen Shichu's house, just to eat, and then After waiting for a while, he reluctantly left.
Wen Shichu thought that the Shi family's objection to Shi Zhu's marriage was unsuccessful and that it would stop. However, Shi Ying did not expect that Shi Ying had a bad start and could not stop Shi Zhu. The young palace maid "retired when she saw the difficulties".
The person who came to the door was Shi Ying's wife, Shi Li's nominal aunt. This aunt had a distinguished family background. She was the daughter of the Taifu in the early years, so Shi Ying would marry her. However, she was just plain-looking and had two sons with Shi Ying. After that, her figure got out of shape, and she was even less liked by Shi Ying. However, her mother-in-law's family was promising and her position as the head wife was secure. No matter how many women Shi Ying had, he would not dare to do anything to her.
"Are you the retired palace maid that Shi Ru is interested in? With such a vixen look, no wonder you can fascinate him. Even the richest ladies from the noble families can't fall in love with him..." A girl with triangular slit eyes , the middle-aged lady with high cheekbones looked at Wen Shichu with disdain and said meanly.
Wen Shichu usually doesn't go out. The residents in this place are all well-educated families with good security and quietness. Therefore, the courtyard door of her house is ajar and not locked, which allows Mrs. Shi and her party to have Seizing the opportunity, he pushed the door open and walked in arrogantly and arrogantly.
As soon as Mrs. Shi led the people in, she saw Wen Shichu reading a book on the beauty's couch in the corridor. After recognizing the person, Mrs. Shi gave Wen Shichu a slap in the face.
Hearing this, Shichu almost laughed out loud. These people broke into her house for no reason. When they saw her, they started teaching her contemptuously and disdainfully. Who gave these people the courage?
"Where did the wild dog come from? It actually broke into my house and started barking!" Wen Shichu said sarcastically, staring at Mrs. Shi with cold eyes.
"Presumptuous! Who are you calling a wild dog?!" Before Mrs. Shi could say anything, the maid next to her acted as a pawn and scolded Wen Shichu on her behalf.
"Whoever responds is the one I'm talking about." Wen Shichu took hold of the maid's finger pointing at her and broke it hard. The maid screamed miserably. Only then did Wen Shichu let go of her finger and coldly He hummed, "What I hate most is when someone, no, a dog points a finger at me."
When Mrs. Shi heard what Wen Shichu said, she was so angry that her chest heaved violently, her face turned purple, and she almost fainted from anger, but she was strong enough and did not faint and survived.
Seeing Wen Shichu's responses, Mrs. Shi realized that Wen Shichu was not an ordinary, submissive woman. She knew that she had encountered a tough situation, so she finally calmed down and began to introduce herself.
"I am Shi Ru's aunt. Although Shi Ru's biological mother passed away long ago, he still wants to call me mother. I can't ignore his marriage."
"Oh? Then how do you want to take care of it?" Wen Shichu asked with raised eyebrows, wanting to know the purpose of Mrs. Shi's visit to him.
"You, a palace maid in your twenties, are not worthy of Shi Zhu. If you were self-aware, you should not have agreed to marry him." Mrs. Shi did not show off, but said it directly and frankly.
"I'm twenty-five years old, and Shi Ru is twenty-four. They're less than one year apart. How old are they? Aren't they just right for each other? It's said that female juniors hold gold bricks, and I'm not even older than him. You are three years old, how can you not be good enough for him?" Wen Shichu said this deliberately, then flipped up his long hair like splashing ink, stroked his beautiful smooth jade face, and said,
"What's more, I'm so good-looking. It was only because of Shi Ru's good fortune that he could marry me. He should feel honored."
"You, you are so shameless! You only have a face but a low status. You will not be of any help to him and will only become a drag on him. If you really love him, you should think about him and let him marry a well-matched man. Wife, instead of marrying you a helpless palace maid! Do you want to see him miss a lifetime opportunity because of marrying you?" Mrs. Shi is worthy of being the center of the family fight, and she can actually "convince people with reason" .
If Wen Shichu is really a woman who loves to do violence and has low self-esteem because of her low status, after hearing her words, she will naturally feel guilty and think that she cannot bring help to do violence, so she will shrink back and dare not She really became Shi Ru’s wife.
But is Wen Shichu a woman who has the courage to sacrifice herself for the sake of a man's career? Obviously, she is not! She is not one of those "great" women, so Mrs. Shi's "heart-attacking strategy" has no effect on her.
Wen Shichu smiled and said to Mrs. Shi: "If he cannot improve his future because he does not have a strong wife, it means that he is incompetent and can only rely on women and his father-in-law. He should blame himself, and I What's wrong? Mrs. Shi is really worried.
But Mrs. Shi, you don’t have to worry. Shi Zhu is not that kind of incompetent man. He is not like Master Shi Yingshi, who can only rely on his wife’s natal family to rise to the top. Shi Zhu is capable himself, and his current status is all earned through military service. , there is no need for nepotism among women. "
Mrs. Shi's face turned livid when she heard her words implying that her husband was a loser who could only rely on his nepotism to climb up the social ladder. Although this was indeed the case, as soon as she heard Shichu say it, she poked him The most embarrassing thing about him was that he was so ruthless and vicious that Mrs. Shi's eyes almost burst into flames when she stared at Wen Shichu.
Wen Shichu smiled and watched Mrs. Shi's face change again and again, but she had to swallow her anger because she failed to achieve her goal. She endured the grievances, pretended not to be embarrassed or embarrassed, and continued to persuade Wen Shichu.
"Miss Wen, Shi Ru is quite capable now, but he... well, to put it harshly, he seems to be a bit more powerful than the master now. Your Majesty is on guard against him! If you don't want to end up like a lackey, just Someone has to help him. He can't think of this now, but in the future, when he encounters difficulties and no one helps him, he will regret not marrying other powerful families in Beijing and marrying you instead. A useless person ended up tragically... You said that at that time, what good ending could you end up with?"
After all, Mrs. Shi is a smart person, and her advice is reasonable and well-founded. If she had a simpler mind, she would have been convinced by her. But Wen Shichu is a person who is smarter than ghosts. How can these words fool her?
"You might as well be wiser now, take the initiative to give up your seat to other ladies from aristocratic families, and become a favorite concubine yourself. This will arouse Shi Zhu's pity and make him value you more. What do you think?" Mrs. Shi finally said seductively, It looked like he was confiding in the first time he heard about it.
