I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Zhou Ruijia's face was stern and serious, and he quietly asked Zhenzhu to come out and meet him.

Zhenzhu gazed at Zhou Ruijia's face and couldn't help feeling pity for him.

Since she got married, she seemed to have aged ten years.

Pearl's eyes were red, and she asked softly, "Sister Jinchuan, why are you here? We haven't seen each other for a long time, why are you..." Pearl couldn't bear to say the rest of the words.

When Zhou Ruijia saw his old friend, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, and the gloom that had originally shrouded his face seemed to have dissipated a lot.

She patted Pearl's shoulder gently and said with some melancholy, "Pearl, from today on, you can call me Sister Zhou.

Now the name Jinchuan has been given to my sister, and I am no longer Jinchuan."

Pearl sighed helplessly, feeling a myriad of emotions in her heart.

The fate of these slaves was so unfortunate that they were like objects at the mercy of others and could not even keep their own names.

Thinking back on the past, she couldn't help feeling sad.

She didn’t have her own name before, and her parents just called her “Big Girl”.

Later, she came to the old lady's room to serve. When the old lady's maid Zhenzhu got married and left, she took over the name and became the new Zhenzhu.

She looked respectable now, but what was the point? In the future, she would still marry a slave and be a slave for the rest of her life.

No matter how one's identity changes, one can never escape the humble status of a slave.

Pearl thought silently, her eyes revealing endless sadness and helplessness.

Zhou Ruijia stared at Zhenzhu's helpless eyes, and she already knew what she was thinking at the moment.

The two of them had known each other for a long time. Even before they entered the mansion to serve, they had often played together. They had similar personalities and were like real sisters.

Although they were assigned to serve different masters afterwards, the friendship between the two never became distant and they always maintained close contact.

As time passed and years went by, they knew each other's inner thoughts very well.

Zhenzhu longs to break free from her fate as a slave and hopes to obtain the status of a good citizen like Zhou Rui's eldest daughter, find a husband of her dreams, and live a happy life.

This time, Zhou Ruijia came to find Zhenzhu to handle the matter assigned by Mrs. Wang, in fact, she also intended to give her a chance to realize her dream.

So she leaned over to Pearl's ear and told her Lady Wang's orders in detail, and then she elaborated on the generous reward that Lady Wang had promised.

"Pearl, I am sure that the lady will never treat you unfairly. Although this matter is quite difficult, once it is successfully completed, the rewards will be extremely rich.

My wife said that as long as you can accomplish your goal, you will definitely get what you want. You have always had great ambitions, and I think this is a rare opportunity for you!"

Hearing this, Pearl's eyes flickered slightly and she did not agree immediately.

You know, Jia Cheng is now a beloved treasure in Rongguo Mansion, and his favor even exceeds that of Jia Baoyu.

If Jia Cheng was really as easy to murder as the legend said, then the man who died earlier probably wouldn't have died so easily.

At this moment, Zhenzhu had a solemn look on her face, staring at Zhou Ruijia with a serious expression. Her sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the other person's heart, which made Zhou Ruijia feel a little flustered.

However, in the face of Zhou Ruijia's persuasion, Zhenzhu just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an undisguised smile of contempt:

"Sister Zhou, you think too highly of me. I am not capable of completing the task assigned by Madam. You should look for someone else.

I do have great ambitions, but as long as I do my best to serve the old lady, sooner or later my dreams will come true.

I'm in no rush, I'm still young after all." It's not like you were married to an old man.

Zhenzhu was very disappointed with Zhou Ruijia. She felt that her good friend had completely changed since she got married and was no longer the playmate she used to play with.

Zhou Ruijia is now gloomy and terrifying, full of calculations, and no longer as innocent as before.

Even though Pearl was her best friend, she could not escape her calculations.

Zhou Ruijia's heart was twisted, "Why is she the only one stuck in the mud? She won't accept it."

She wants everyone to rot and stink with her.

Mrs. Wang ordered to get rid of Jia Cheng. Zhou Rui's wife could have chosen to find other servants to carry out this task, but she chose to go looking for Zhenzhu.

This was obviously not out of any deep emotional connection with her, but an attempt to put her in a desperate situation.

Zhenzhu is the old lady's maid, but she works for Lady Wang. If the old lady finds out, she will have only one option: death. After all, a servant cannot serve two masters.

Pearl has been undercover for many years without any problems, but this year she has been unlucky and feels like everything is going wrong.

Now her old friend is also plotting against her, she feels heartbroken.

Look at what that task is called, killing Jia Cheng?

How could Jia Cheng be killed so easily? He was a man of great fortune!

Even if he was thrown into the water, he would be able to float on his own. How could such a person be easily murdered by a little maid?

Zhou Ruijia revealed Mrs. Wang's plan to Zhenzhu, and her real purpose was undoubtedly to kill Zhenzhu.

If Zhenzhu really follows Mrs. Wang's instructions, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of Lady Jia and the masters, and various punishments and death will be waiting for her.

But if she directly refused to do things for Lady Wang, and if she angered Lady Wang and caused her to reveal her betrayal of Lady Jia in a fit of rage, then the outcome would also be death.

Faced with such a desperate situation, Zhenzhu had only one last option: pretend to agree, but not actually carry out Mrs. Wang's order... after all, it wasn't against the law.

Zhou Ruijia's unkindness cannot be blamed on her for being unjust.

The Rongguo Mansion is full of traps. The masters are scheming against each other, and the servants are also dirty.

Zhenzhu has been with Lady Jia for so many years, and has been influenced by her and has become very cunning.

As soon as Zhou Ruijia opened her mouth, she knew what this woman was thinking.

Pearl has her own dreams, but she must first ensure her survival before planning anything else.

Zhenzhu knew that now was not the time to break off relations with Zhou Rui's wife, so she talked in a roundabout way until she became hungry.

Zhou Ruijia felt that Pearl was unusual today, as if she was about to get out of her control.

So she hurriedly continued to paint a rosy picture for Pearl, "Although this matter seems difficult, it is actually not simple, but Madam is determined to kill that little beast.

If you take action, others will come to help you. You will be sure of victory. I come to you first for your own good.

If you don't want to do it, then I will find other people. I believe they also want this opportunity, and then you will assist them. "

Zhou Ruijia bewitched Zhenzhu and used other people to stimulate her, trying to provoke her.

Zhenzhu looked at Zhou Rui's wife as if she were an idiot, and thought to herself: "My dear sister, you have become stupid after getting married. Could it be that you have been infected by that stupid man Zhou Rui?

Everyone wants the benefits given by the Second Wife, but they have to live to spend them. There are many eyes and ears around Third Master Cheng, the eldest master wants to hug Third Master every day, and the eldest wife is just short of using a board to worship Third Master.

How can I kill such a person? I can't do it at all. It's not unfair that the Second Wife lost to the Third Master. She dared to do it at this critical moment. She is really courting death."

Zhenzhu narrowed her eyes and thanked Zhou Ruijia, "Thank you, sister, for thinking of me when you have good things to do. I really want to help Madam, but I am willing but unable.

There are too many people around the Third Master, so I can’t do anything.”

Seeing that Zhenzhu had taken the bait, Zhou Ruijia looked at her innocent eyes and exquisite dress with some jealousy, and said with a forced smile: "Madam has great influence in the mansion, we will all help you.

Li Wang from the kitchen is my wife's man, as is Li Wang from the sewing room, Ma Ma who manages the small garden, and many others. They are all available."

When Zhenzhu heard this, she immediately showed excitement, and then agreed to Zhou Ruijia's request, saying that she would definitely complete the wife's task.

After seeing Zhou Rui's wife off, Zhenzhu's smile turned cold. She would never do anything stupid. A fallen lady with a phoenix egg, she would never do anything stupid.

Pearl rolled her eyes, thinking about how to take advantage of the enemy's tactics and kill with a borrowed knife, preferably killing two birds with one stone.

Jia Cheng had no idea about the upcoming plot and was still choosing clothes to wear for the class at Zhu Shi's house tomorrow.
