After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Gu Jin noticed that something was wrong with Gu Rou recently, especially something was wrong.

Since getting married, Gu Rou has never visited Su's courtyard every morning and evening to pay her respects, and Su has never set any rules for her.

But since she was released from house arrest, she has been staying in Su's courtyard almost every day. Every time Gu Jin went there, he saw her staying with Su, calling her "mother" in a very affectionate manner.

She would even make handkerchiefs and sachets for Su, and when she saw her coming, she would say something in a sly way, "I'm not as good at embroidery as you, big sister. The things you give to mother must be much more exquisite than mine."

But she didn't know how to embroider at all, and had never given Su any embroidery.

What? Is it popular to snatch the mother-in-law these days?

You can steal a man, but you can’t steal the mother-in-law!

Gu Jin sat down next to Su with a smile on his face. "Mother, I see that your skin has become smoother and more delicate recently. If you let your hair down, no one can tell whether you are an unmarried girl or not."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say!" Although Su said this, she actually looked at herself in the mirror with a smile, "But the face cream you gave me, Jin'er, is really useful. I can't even see the fine lines around my eyes!"

Gu Jin smiled and said, "When I come up with something good, I will give it to mother as soon as possible. I will make sure that mother will become the youngest lady in the capital."

After saying this, Gu Jin did not forget to raise an eyebrow at Gu Rou.

Gu Rou was very angry, but she could only force a smile.

When Marquis Yongchang came back, he saw two people talking to Su, and his brows immediately frowned.

Why are these two people clinging to their mother-in-law instead of their own husbands?

Gu Rou was terrified when she saw the Marquis of Yongchang. She quickly stood up and greeted him, "I, your daughter-in-law, will take my leave without disturbing your father's rest."

Marquis Yongchang nodded with satisfaction, saying that the eldest son's wife had good taste.

When he turned around, he saw Gu Jin grinning at him, performing a very non-standard salute and then continuing to discuss lipstick and powder with Su.

Yongchang Hou's face darkened. After coughing twice and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he said, "Ran'er should have left the court by now!"

It's time for you to leave too!

"My husband is busy dealing with matters in the Dali Temple recently and cannot come back for the time being." Gu Jin replied casually.

Marquis Yongchang: “…” Can you be a little more sensitive?

Of course Gu Jin could see that Marquis Yongchang wanted to drive her away, but Su kept looking at her for help, and she couldn't bear to ignore her.

The Marquis of Yongchang could neither drive Gu Jin away nor interrupt the other's conversation. He sat there bored for a long while and finally took advantage of the pause between the two to speak: "I just came from the garden. We need to find someone to weed the weeds in the garden. Especially the vines, which can easily trip people up if they are not dealt with."

Now that the Su family is in charge, Marquis Yongchang spoke up to remind them.

Gu Jin was a little speechless. You know how to chat, but you start pointing out people's faults as soon as you open your mouth.

"Okay, I understand." Su pursed her lips in displeasure.

After accompanying Su for a while, Gu Jin couldn't stand the glares that kept passing over his scalp, so he could only ignore Su's resentful eyes and leave cruelly.

She went to the garden on purpose and found that just as Marquis Yongchang had said, it looked like no one had taken care of it for a long time.

The next day, Gu Jin mentioned this to Su, who said helplessly, "In fact, I have urged them a long time ago, but there has been a lot of rain recently, and many places in the mansion need repairs, so we don't have enough manpower at the moment.

But Manager Zhang promised me that it would be sorted out as soon as possible."

"Oh?" Gu Jin raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was wrong here.

Gradually, Gu Jin discovered that more and more things were wrong. First, the rice sent from the kitchen was a little undercooked, and then the fruits and vegetables served were not very fresh. In short, they were all small and trivial things that went unmentioned.

Until one day when everyone was having dinner at Songhe Hall, Mrs. Huo took a bite of the chicken and found that the meat was not cooked. She was so angry that she put down her chopsticks immediately.

Mrs. Huo was not a picky person. Even though the meals she cooked a few days ago were satisfactory, she didn't say much. But this time she was really annoyed.

"How do the maids in the kitchen work? Can't they even cook meals?"

Just as Su was about to speak, Xie Miaorong echoed, "Not only that, but there's also this drunken crab. It's not the right season to eat crabs now. Not only are they expensive, but the crabs are also skinny. It's such a waste."

Besides, it’s been raining a lot lately and the weather is cold, so the kitchen shouldn’t send out cold food like mung bean soup anymore, otherwise my uncle and father will get sick and it will delay our work.”

After Xie Miaorong finished speaking, she glanced at Su coldly. These are all things that the mistress of the house should consider, but Su can't even do this most basic thing. What qualifications does she have to manage the household expenses? It would be better for her to step down and let others take over!

Bai curled her lips in satisfaction, she didn't expect Xie Miaorong's method to be so quick. Huo had placed high hopes on Su, but now she was probably going to be completely disappointed.

really!

Gu Jinxin understood, she knew there must be something fishy going on, luckily she was prepared!
