The next morning, Zhenzhu woke Xia Xizhi up.

"Miss, get up quickly. You have to serve tea to the eldest lady today."

Xia Xizhi got up in a daze and let Zhenzhu wash and dress her up. Only after she was dressed did Xia Xizhi finally wake up.

"Miss, you are so beautiful. I have never seen anyone more beautiful than you in the whole of Beijing."

Pearl's eyes lit up as she looked at Xia Xizhi who had dressed up.

The young lady is so beautiful. She has become more and more beautiful in the past two years. If she hadn't entered the general's mansion as a concubine, with her looks, she would have been able to marry a man who was the top scholar. What a pity...

Zhenzhu felt sorry for Xia Xizhi.

Xia Xizhi's beautiful lips curled slightly,

"Of course, my lady, you are the most beautiful lady in the world."

It’s no wonder that Xia Xizhi is so confident, because the original owner’s body is so beautiful.

Her skin was as white as cream, her appearance was stunning, her face was almond-shaped and her cheeks were rosy, her eyes were slightly upturned, she was charming yet noble, no matter how many silks and satins she wore, she would look beautiful without being out of place, and she did not look like a concubine's daughter at all.

Her figure is even more amazing, with a curvy figure, without a trace of fat, and yet she has all the necessary flesh. She is a natural beauty, and even her voice is so pleasant that any word she says seems to be seductive.

If the original owner had not been plotted against and killed by Xia Jingshu in her previous life, she would have definitely become a favorite concubine in the future if she had entered the Prince's Mansion based on her looks.

"Let's go."

Xia Xizhi lived in a small courtyard in the remote part of the General's Mansion. Fortunately, Xia Jingshu provided her with food, clothing and other necessities in order to show her sisterly love, which seemed to be quite good. It was just far from the main courtyard.

It took a long time to walk around before I arrived at Xia Jingshu's yard.

"Sister, I am here to serve you tea."

Xia Xizhi bowed softly and was about to take the teacup prepared beside her when Xia Jingshu came over, took her hand, and gave him a glare.

"Sister, we're family, why are you still going through all this formality with me? Come over here and sit down. I can't thank you enough."

"From now on, being in the General's Mansion will be just like being in our home. Your only task is to have a child with the General as soon as possible."

Xia Xizhi pretended to be shy and nodded, letting Xia Jingshu pull her to sit down.

Xia Jingshu also looks good, with a gentle and delicate appearance that makes people approachable easily. If she didn't know the plot, she would have been deceived by her appearance.

"Sister, the general has gone out of town for some urgent business these days. Don't worry, I'll let him go to your place as soon as he comes back."

Xia Jingshu smiled gently and pulled Xia Xizhi to chat about family matters.

Just looking at Xia Xizhi's face and figure, a look of jealousy would inadvertently appear on his face.

Xia Xizhi pretended not to notice, and imitated the original owner's personality to talk to her and observe her calmly.

After chatting for a while, Xia Jingshu gave Xia Xizhi a set of jewelry, a pair of jade bracelets and a kingfisher hairpin. When Xia Xizhi pretended to refuse,

Xia Jingshu smiled and said,

"Sister, I'm not giving it to you for free. I want you to exchange it for something. I remember you had a dark green jade pendant? Big brother actually likes it very much, but I never had the nerve to ask you. His birthday is coming up soon, so I'm asking you shamelessly."

"Sister has already promised big brother this jade pendant. If I don't give it to you, sister will lose face... You must give it to me." Xia Jingshu pretended to be relentless.

Then, he suddenly chuckled as if jokingly,

"Did you take it seriously? Oh, I was just joking, don't take it seriously. It's okay if you don't want to give it to me, these jewels are supposed to be given to me."

"At worst, I can just find another one like it for you. I don't know why you like that jade pendant of yours so much..." Xia Jingshu sighed helplessly.

Just like in the original plot, Xia Jingshu couldn't wait to get the jade pendant on the first day. Xia Xizhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

The elder brother she was referring to was Xia Zikang, the eldest son of Xia Shen. He was very outstanding and won the second place in the imperial examination at the age of 20. In just a few years, he rose from the seventh-rank Changshi to the fourth-rank Dali Shaoqing.

The original owner rarely saw him, but respected him very much.

Xia Jingshu's words were a retreat in order to advance. Even if the original owner didn't want to give it, she had to give it. Otherwise, a jade pendant would make her look stingy.

Unfortunately, she is not the original owner, she is not that real.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Since big brother wants these jewelry, even if you don't give them to me, I will take them out. But the jade pendant is not with you now. I forgot to bring some things when I came here yesterday. I will bring it to you when I go back tomorrow."

Xia Xizhi pretended to be embarrassed.

The reason why she didn't refuse directly was because according to the original owner's personality, it was unlikely that she would refuse. In order to avoid Xia Jingshu becoming suspicious and then plotting against her in other ways, it would be better to pretend first.

Xia Jingshu paused, his eyes scanned for inquiries, and seeing Xia Xizhi's sincerity, he smiled and said,

"No hurry, then I will thank my younger sister on behalf of my elder brother."

"Sister, you don't have to be polite to me." Xia Xizhi smiled shyly.

After flirting with Xia Jingshu for a while, Xia Xizhi came out of her room.

"Miss, do you really want to give the jade pendant to the eldest lady?" Pearl asked in confusion.

"I have never heard that the eldest young master took a fancy to your jade pendant. He rarely goes into the backyard, so when has he ever seen your jade pendant? I always feel that the eldest young lady is plotting against you again..." Zhenzhu muttered.

Xia Xizhi smiled and said,

"You guessed it right. She is plotting against you, Miss me. Naturally, I won't give it to her."

"Why did you agree to this, Miss?"

Xia Xizhi looked around, leaned over to whisper in Pearl's ear,

"I remember there's a shop selling imitation jade pendants in Caishikou. You can..."

Pearl's eyes lit up.

......

After they walked for a while, they heard a sudden noise not far away...

The old lady threw her crutches and covered her chest in anger.

"What a scoundrel! I'm so angry! He's ruined the reputation of my General's Mansion! Capture him and I'm going to beat him to death!"

"Mom, I just flirted with a young widow, is that necessary?"

Huo Jin, dressed in brocade and with his hair tied up with a golden crown, was supported by the servant beside him and muttered nonchalantly.

Everyone in the capital knew that Huo Jin was handsome, and this was also in the original owner's memory, but when Xia Xizhi saw him in person, he was still amazed and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

It's really beautiful. If the face wasn't swollen, it would look even better.

His facial features were so delicate that he looked extraordinary. The brocade he wore made him look particularly noble, but the way he stood was not very respectable, and the words he spoke made him look like a dandy.

If it weren't for his dandy and lecherous behavior, I wonder how many girls he would have charmed.

Unfortunately, because of his behavior, no girl from a decent family dared to marry him. They would rather avoid him than slap him and have him lick their hands.

It is said that if it were not for the family rules of the general's mansion that prohibits taking concubines before marrying a wife, he would have at least eighty concubines in his courtyard.

Huo Jin's words made the old lady tremble with anger.

"Old Madam, calm down... Ahem, Second Master just teased the young widow and didn't do anything else. The widow has already beaten him back. Second Master's face is swollen and his legs are broken..."

The old housekeeper next to her hurriedly supported the old lady.

"Serves you right!" The old lady trembled with anger.

"Make him kneel in the ancestral hall and don't give him a single bite of food! Only when he promises not to commit any more crimes can he be released."

"Yes!"

Huo Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and quickly asked someone to help him leave.

"Hurry up and go. If she changes her mind later, I will get beaten up."

Huo Jin was helped over and happened to run into Xia Xizhi who was standing there watching the fun.

The moment he saw Xia Xizhi, Huo Jin seemed to be dumbfounded. He stood there staring at Xia Xizhi in a daze.

"Second Master, stop looking, wipe your saliva, cough cough," the servant next to him reminded.

Huo Jin came back to his senses and wiped the corner of his mouth, only to find that there was no saliva. He squinted his eyes and looked at the servant beside him.

"How dare you tease me?"

"Second Master, I was wrong... Well, have you forgotten that you still have things to do?" The servant quickly changed the subject.

"What could be more important than a beautiful woman? Where's the brain?"

"My beauty, uh, no, little girl, whose daughter are you from? How come I have never seen you before?"
