The little fox is super pregnant, the heir-less boss is spoiling her like crazy

Chapter 251: The Fat Daughter of the Shangshu Mansion vs. the Fearful Regent

That woman has been a little restless recently. If it weren't for him, she would have been dragged out to be buried alive with the emperor. How could she have the blessing of sitting on the position of Queen Mother?

……

In March, there was a flood in the south and a large number of refugees poured into the city.

Yue Niang found an opportunity to send Zhen Zhu some of her favorite pastries. Seeing that her figure seemed to have become a little plump, she felt relieved.

Seeing her losing weight before, Yue Niang thought she had really changed her personality and was a little panicked for a moment. Now looking at her slightly bulging belly, Yue Niang sighed in her heart, she really couldn't control her mouth.

But Yue Niang didn't notice that, except for her belly being a little fatter, Zhen Zhu had actually lost weight elsewhere.

"Miss, this Sifuzhai's newest pastry is called Zui Hongyan. You used to love their pastries the most, so I waited in line all morning to buy this for you."

Zhen Zhu glanced at it indifferently, then said "hmm", and casually gave the cake to Xing'er, saying perfunctorily, "Well, you are thoughtful."

Seeing her attitude, Yue Niang's eyes flashed with hatred. She suppressed her anger and asked with an apologetic smile, "Miss, don't you want to try it? This is something I spent a lot of effort to buy for you." Zhen Zhu put down the notebook in her hand, glanced at her with her fox eyes, and then asked her, "I didn't ask you to buy this thing. You went out without permission during your duty and neglected your work. You should have been punished. But I kept silent because you bought it for me. Why, from what you said, it seems that I want you to be grateful to me?"

She is not her original self and will not be easily fooled by a few words. Xing'er couldn't help laughing when she saw Yue Niang's deflated look. She thought that she deserved it. She had flattered the young lady before and gave her many bad ideas, but the young lady believed in her so much. Others wanted to persuade her but did not dare to speak out for fear of her revenge.

Now that the young lady has recognized her true face, she will not be easily fooled by her in the future.

Yue Niang's face turned pale. She didn't know when this fat woman became so eloquent, but now she had to bow her head under his roof.

I had no choice but to swallow my grievances and continue to maintain a smile that was already a little ugly on my face.

"Miss, I dare not. I just want you to like me."

After explaining, she suddenly changed the subject and suggested, "Miss, I heard that there have been many refugees in the city these days, and many young ladies from noble families are giving porridge to these refugees to gain a good reputation. We only have one noble and honorable young lady like you in our Shangshu Mansion. I think why don't we set up a porridge shop to give out porridge as well? This will help increase your reputation."

Zhen Zhu continued reading the storybook. After hearing her suggestion, she didn't even look up. She picked up a fruit, put it in her mouth, and asked her vaguely, "Do you have any good plans?"

Yue Niang's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly replied, "I've checked for you, young lady. There's a great place right in front of Xiangguo Temple. There are the most refugees here. If you give out porridge here, you'll definitely get more support."

Zhen Zhu put the bitten peach on the table and glanced at Yue Niang with sarcasm in her eyes. How could she not know what Yue Niang was thinking? The largest number of people in Xiangguo Temple were not refugees, but candidates who were staying there waiting for the imperial examinations.

There has been a tradition of catching a son-in-law from under the list since ancient times. Although catching a son-in-law from under the list is more reliable, it is also a good strategy to cast a wide net before the imperial examination and then focus on catching him after the examination.

Zhen Zhu sighed, feeling embarrassed. She reached out and touched her stomach. "This is a great idea, but I've been eating too much these past few days and have some indigestion. I'm also too lazy to move. I'm afraid that it would take a lot of preparation to distribute porridge, and it would be troublesome to go there at that time. I think I'd better forget it."

Upon hearing this, Yue Niang's eyes lit up and she quickly took over the conversation, "Miss, don't worry. These servants will take care of it for you. If you don't want to show your face, these servants will give the porridge to you. You won't have to worry about anything."

Zhen Zhu nodded. She looked at Yue Niang with a half-smile and said, "Just go to the accounting office and get the money. By the way, the porridge distribution time must be on the 15th of this month."

Yue Niang couldn't hide her excitement at all. She didn't care about Zhen Zhu's request to set the date on the 15th. It didn't matter to her whether she set it on that day or not. She would be the one to be in the limelight anyway.

After Yue Niang received the decree, Xing'er looked at Zhen Zhu with some disapproval and said worriedly, "Miss, you still have to be careful of Yue Niang. I think she is not that simple."

Zhen Zhu gave her a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry."

……

Yue Niang quickly got things done. Early in the morning on the 15th, she dressed up carefully and came to pay her respects to Zhen Zhu.

"My lady, I have prepared everything. I will go to the gate of Xiangguo Temple and serve you porridge. I will definitely complete your mission."

Zhen Zhu glanced at her and said meaningfully, "Yue Niang is dressed very beautifully today."

Yue Niang quickly knelt down and explained, "This servant, this servant, was afraid of losing the young lady's face, so I thought of dressing better so as not to lose the young lady's face."

Zhen Zhu said "Oh", her fox eyes slightly raised, squinting at Yue Niang, and said with a smile, "It's hard for you to think so much about me, why don't you just not go today, so you don't have to worry about being embarrassed. The weather is good today, and I'm in high spirits. I'll go and give out the porridge myself today."

Upon hearing this, Yue Niang's face changed. She grabbed Zhen Zhu's dress in panic and begged, "Miss, I am willing to go with you. I will do anything for you!"

Zhen Zhu's eyebrows were curved, and it seemed that she was anxious.

She hummed, then slowly began, "Since you're so loyal, and you've been so busy running around for so long, it would be unreasonable not to take you with me."

As she spoke, she picked up a cup of tea and accidentally spilled it on Yue Niang. She then sighed and said, "Oh, what should I do? Your clothes are wet. It's really inconvenient to go over. Why don't you change into a new dress and come with me?"

Zhen Zhu's intentions were obvious. Even if Yue Niang wanted to show off, she had to temporarily put aside her thoughts and said respectfully, "My lady, I will change into clean and decent clothes right away."

……

At the entrance of Xiangguo Temple

Gu Mo sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, resting. He heard footsteps approaching, and then Mo Yao opened the carriage curtain and said in a low voice, "Master, everything is ready."

Goodnight
