Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

The next morning, Xiang Ran went downstairs.

I heard some noise in the kitchen and thought it was Xiaofu or someone else making breakfast.

When she arrived at the kitchen door, she saw that it was her husband who had gotten up and was "busy" in the kitchen for the first time.

"Um...where is Xiaofu?" Xiang Ran asked puzzledly.

Sheng Yang turned around and said calmly, "It rained heavily last night, so my mother left Xiaofu there to help with the moxibustion. I simply asked her to come back today."

The man had probably taken a shower and changed into pajamas, and his hair was wet.

"What do you want to eat? Bread?" Sheng Yang asked.

I glanced at Xiang Ran. He was eating dry bread with cheese and butter, and next to him was a bowl of cereal and milk in the refrigerator.

She looked at it and shook her head: "No, I can do it myself."

Xiang Ran put two eggs in the pot, added some water, lit the gas, and went to wash up.

When she finished washing up, her cell phone suddenly rang.

When she saw the name pop up on her phone, she took a breath and answered the call.

"Hello, Mom... By the way, Sheng Yang is downstairs. Do you need him to answer the phone?" Xiang Ran answered as she walked down the stairs.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Yang frowned when he saw her rushing downstairs.

Xiang Ran did not answer. Her attention was on the person on the other end of the phone - her nominal "mother-in-law".

Only after hanging up the phone did Xiang Ran breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Sheng Yang seemed to be waiting for her to speak, she had no choice but to raise the phone in her hand: "Your mother knows you are back. She said that today is the weekend and asked us to go back to Qionghai Garden for lunch at noon?"

"Oh. She has your new number?"

"Ah."

Oh, so what?

The new number is a little rich.

My mother-in-law also has one, so she just left an old, unused number in her phone?

Sheng Yang felt a little unhappy for no reason: "Does she usually call you?"

Xiang Ran smiled helplessly: "Occasionally... sometimes. Are you free at noon?"

"Then go!" Sheng Yang replied.

"No! My eggs!" Xiang Ran suddenly remembered that the fire seemed to be on in the kitchen, and rushed to the kitchen.

Sheng Yang looked at the woman's startled back and said, "Slow down, I've already turned off the fire for you."

-

The pot was burnt dry, and even the glass lid was hot.

Xiang Ran felt a little embarrassed and accidentally missed the handle of the pot lid and touched something else.

There was a loud "clang".

There were more screams coming from the kitchen!

Sheng Yang walked over and saw a pot lid lying on the ground, spinning non-stop.

His "wife" was frantically turning on the faucet and washing her fingers.

"Are you burned?" Sheng Yang helped pick up the lid and found that there was a hole in the steel ring.

Xiang Ran didn't answer him. Instead, she stared at the pot lid in a daze and blurted out, "What should I do? I can buy new parts."

The woman's expression was as heavy as a child's who had broken a bowl.

Sheng Yang felt puzzled.

"It's just a pot lid." He said lightly.

"My mom brought this pot over a few days ago. She said it was used by the royal family of Country M. She likes it very much and even said she would cook for you herself next weekend." Xiang Ran explained.

"Since it's my mother who said it, it might not be true. I'll see if I can restore it. If not, I'll just ask the servants to buy some." Sheng Yang gently placed the lid on the pot. "Are the eggs still edible?"

"Of course. Only the lid of the pot fell." Xiang Ran said hurriedly.

"Oh." The man turned and walked out.

Xiang Ran felt that her performance was pretty perfect, and she portrayed the state of a bullied daughter-in-law to the fullest.

It's true that my fingers were burned.

Aunt Zeng was right. If she wanted to live a better life and gain more benefits during her time as a substitute in the Sheng family, she might have to "rely" on Sheng Yang.

When dealing with the "mother-in-law", the "daughter-in-law" cannot confront her head-on. That is the last resort. When she can let the man take the lead, she will never step forward.

Otherwise, you will be labeled as unfilial.

Originally, Jiang Yu wanted her to go to Qionghai Garden alone this time, but Xiang Ran took the initiative to ask Sheng Yang to go with her.

She didn't care, she was going to drag him along.

We will know whether this man is a shield or a peacemaker after testing him.

It would be fine if he was a shield,

If he just kept agreeing or trying to smooth things over, she would confront his mother.

Anyway, the accusation of being unfilial was placed on Su Yiqing.

-

Jiang Yu urged them to go there quickly on the phone.

Xiang Ran changed her clothes and went to find Sheng Yang.

After turning around, I found that the man was still in the kitchen.

"Mom is urging us to go there now." Xiang Ran asked.

"Oh? Let me put away my tools." Sheng Yang came out with a small silver hammer and pliers in his hands.

"Do you have this at home?"

In fact, Xiang Ran was surprised that Mr. Sheng II could actually use tools. Most of the men she met were useless and couldn't do anything.

Her roommate Xiaoya and her boyfriend live together off campus. It was Xiaoya who unclogged the sewer by following the method on the Internet, while her boyfriend was playing games next to them like a loser.

Xiang Ran felt suffocated after hearing this.

Sheng Yang nodded at her: "Yes, although I don't remember buying the toolbox, I still found it."

"What were you repairing?"

The man didn't answer her question, but turned around and said, "Well, I'll leave after I change my clothes."

Looking at Xiang Ran, the lid of the pot seemed to have been restored.

She couldn't help but smile.

-

The house in Qionglan Garden was once the property of Sheng Yang's father. Before Sheng Yang's father passed away, the Sheng family agreed to let Jiang Yu move in.

Whenever Jiang Yu met someone, she liked to take them to appreciate the flowers and trees she planted.

But artistic aesthetics is something that is innate.

Although Xiang Ran came from a poor family, he had good aesthetic taste.

According to Xiang Ran's observation, it is hard to say how accomplished Jiang Yu is in flower art. For some reason, many of the flowers planted by her "mother-in-law" look like lush weeds, and most of the potted plants have no aesthetic appeal in terms of placement or shape.

In addition, Xiang Ran was forced to listen to Jiang Yu playing music on musical instruments every time she went to Qionghai Garden. Unfortunately, musical cells are innate and cannot be transferred by poverty or wealth.

Xiang Ran had never learned to play any musical instrument, but she was born with a strong pitch, and one could tell from her voice that her mother-in-law had no sense of music.

But as a new daughter-in-law, she could only compliment her mother-in-law against her will.

But Jiang Yu was not pleased with the compliments from his new daughter-in-law.

As a marginal member of the Sheng family, she has some inexplicable "malice" towards this daughter-in-law who comes from a good family but seems easy to control.

-

Before, she always thought her son Sheng Yang was cold-blooded.

But since he lost his memory, he has unexpectedly become a little polite to her, his mother.

Jiang Yu was very proud of this.

After all, the relationship between the son and his new daughter-in-law seems cold and distant, far less familiar than that between mother and son.

"Sheng Yang, how is your stomach recently? Have you had a brain checkup? What did the doctor say?" Jiang Yu asked affectionately while pulling his son's arm as soon as he saw Sheng Yang.

Sheng Yang brushed off his mother's hand: "Nothing."

Jiang Yu was dissatisfied with being a bore in front of his son, so he looked at Ran and said, "People who travel frequently will never have a good stomach. Yiqing...as a daughter-in-law, you should pay more attention to your husband."

Xiang Ran found this puzzling, as she was a fake wife and not a cook.

What does it have to do with her whether Sheng Yang’s stomach is healthy or not?

But she still nodded gently.

"Auntie is helping cook in the kitchen. You can go and watch and learn." Jiang Yu waved at her.

Xiang Ran didn't dare to "disobey" and followed Jiang Yu to the kitchen.

-

Sheng Yang walked around the yard, having nothing to do, and then walked to the kitchen.

He found that his mother was asking Xiang Ran to peel the seeds from the chili peppers.

The woman's slender fingers were still red.

"Go and rinse yourself under the running water." Sheng Yang pulled Xiang Ran's wrist.

"What happened? Are you hurt while peeling the peppers?" Jiang Yu asked in surprise.

"I was scalded by the pot lid this morning, it's nothing serious." Xiang Ran pulled her hand away and said to her "mother-in-law".

Sheng Yang threw all the peppers in Xiang Ran's hand into the basket, and without even looking at his mother, he turned to his aunt and said, "Let's go out for a while."

When Xiang Ran heard this, she immediately pretended to be embarrassed, glanced at her mother-in-law, and followed Sheng Yang out.
