Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Song Yurou and the eldest concubine's daughter surrounded the old lady and made jokes, making the old lady smile.

At this moment, the old nanny suddenly stepped forward:

"Madam, the prince is here to pay his respects to you."

"Chao'er? Let him in quickly. It's cold outside. Be careful not to catch a cold."

When the old lady heard that her eldest grandson came to pay his respects to her, she immediately asked someone to prepare hot tea and a hand warmer.

As he was speaking, Song Wenchao appeared in the warm room.

"Grandson pays respects to grandmother, mother, and aunt."

He bowed to everyone and sat down.

The old lady looked at her eldest grandson with satisfaction and could not help but nodded:

"Chao'er, you've worked hard. You've lost a lot of weight these days. I'll ask the kitchen to make more of your favorite food so you can replenish your energy."

"Thank you grandma."

As they talked about what happened last night, the old lady paused and looked in Mu Zhou's direction:

"Madame Li said that you sent over a dozen hand-copied scriptures this morning. Miss Zhou'er is so thoughtful."

She nodded with relief.

She took him in out of a bit of pity at first, and later Mu Zhou had no presence at all, so she almost forgot about him.

I didn't expect that this girl had been copying scriptures by hand to pray for her.

I heard from the nanny that this girl had been copying it since a long time ago, but because she was not familiar with it, she was copying it haltingly and not smoothly. She was afraid that the Buddha would not bless her if she was not sincere, so she didn't dare to send it to me.

It was not until recently that I was finally able to copy smoothly. After copying a complete set, I dared to send it to the small Buddhist temple.

Such sincerity made her feel at ease.

The old lady has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in her current status. She has the best food, clothing and other necessities. Only sincere thoughts can move her.

This is also the reason why Mu Zhou stayed up late to copy the scriptures by hand.

Of course, she had polished the story she gave to Mammy herself.

When the old lady said this, Mu Zhou hurriedly stood up, bowed, and said obediently:

"The old lady is so kind. I am so grateful and I have no way to repay her. I can only do some small things within my ability."

The eldest lady also smiled and nodded:

"Zhou'er is a good boy."

Song Wenchao raised his eyelids and glanced at Mu Zhou.

The dark eyes looked cold and indifferent, making it difficult to understand.

He thought of her flattery of his mother last night.

He had a preliminary judgment about Mu Zhou.

This woman is good at pleasing others.

*

The old lady asked the nanny to get a jade hairpin and motioned Mu Zhou to come over:

"Good boy, you have been in the mansion for almost two years, and I have never given you anything. This is for you."

Mu Zhou took it in panic and expressed his gratitude.

But as soon as he raised his hands, his red and swollen hands were completely exposed to the old lady.

The old lady frowned.

In a respectable family like Prince Qi's Mansion, even the lowest-level cleaning maid would not have her hands frozen like this. How could her hands be frozen like this as a cousin who was just staying there temporarily and was half a master?

Seeing the old lady's eyes on his hands, Mu Zhou quickly retracted them, tucked them into his sleeves with inferiority, and explained:

"It's a cold winter this year, and Zhou'er's hands are rough, which scared the old lady."

The old lady's face darkened, and the eldest lady immediately understood what her mother-in-law meant and said to the nanny beside her:

"What's going on? Who is the maid serving my cousin?"

Mammy was stunned for a moment, then answered uncertainly, "It should be Xiaoqiu."

Mu Zhou shook his head in confusion: "The housekeeper said that the mansion needs to save money. Xiaoqiu has been transferred to the front yard. There is currently no maid to serve in Fanghua Pavilion."

The eldest lady's face changed. As a housekeeper for many years, she quickly understood what was going on and looked at the second lady beside her.

The second wife pursed her lips guiltily.

Only a simple girl like Mu Zhou would believe such words.

Saving money? That's a joke.

The eldest lady looked away dissatisfiedly, and looked at Mu Zhou with some heartache:

"Don't worry, Zhou'er. I'll ask Nanny to pick two new maids for you later."

Mu Zhou hurriedly stood up to express her gratitude, saying that she did not need so many people to serve her, but the eldest lady insisted, so she had to accept.

The old lady also heard about what happened last night. She said to the eldest lady:

"Zhou'er's mother is not in good health, and no one is taking care of her. But she is living in our Prince Qi's mansion, and we can't let anyone treat her with disrespect. We must thoroughly investigate what happened last night."

"Yes, mother."

The old lady comforted Mu Zhou again:

"The princess will host a winter banquet the day after tomorrow. You should go with them. You little kid, don't stay in the house all the time."

"Yes, thank you, madam."

This was an unexpected surprise.

Mu Zhou originally wanted to solve his own survival crisis first, but he didn't expect to gain something extra.

It would be great to be able to attend the Winter Banquet. The eldest princess’ banquet is naturally of high standard, with good food, drinks and fun.

By the way, you can also meet the heroine of the plane, Shu Yuyan.

In fact, Shu Yuyan was also involved in what happened last night.

At first, Luo Rong couldn't make up his mind to elope with the original owner.

The sudden change of mind was not accidental.

Instead, he accidentally overheard a conversation at the banquet and learned that the envied General Wu'an and his wife had secretly eloped because their elders did not agree.

General Wu'an was the only son in the family, so his family had no choice but to agree.

Today, the couple's love for each other is a legend in Beijing.

"In that case, eloping is a good way to defy family arrangements."

"Yes, actually my cousin and I are in love, but she is just from a merchant family and her family doesn't agree. So I decided to learn from General Wu'an and elope with her!"

"That's a good idea. I wish you and your wife a long and happy life together in advance."

The few people chatting were all children of prominent families. As they walked further and further away, Luo Rong, who was hiding in the dark, finally reacted.

He was ecstatic.

He really liked Mu Zhou, but he knew his family would not agree. He was still hesitant, but now he is not worried anymore.

He was also the only son in the family, and both his mother and father loved him. When he and Mu Zhou successfully eloped, his family had no choice but to agree.

Even a family as powerful as General Wu'an dared to threaten to elope, so what else was he afraid of?

But he didn't know that those people were specially prepared for him.

The person who did this was Shu Yuyan.

Shu Yuyan is the daughter of Prime Minister Shu. She comes from a prominent family, is well-read, and is a famous talented woman in the capital.

She also accidentally overheard the conversation between Song Yurou and her sisters, and only then did she realize her intention to deal with the original owner, and Luo Rong's concerns about being reluctant to take action.

So I helped.

The reason why she was willing to help was because of something that happened a long time ago.

Although she didn't know the original owner, she had heard the name from other people.

That was her childhood sweetheart, the Second Prince.

When the second prince went to the Prince of Qi's mansion to find Song Wenchao, he met the original owner once and was struck by her beauty.

Later, during a spring outing, the Second Prince looked at the clusters of peach blossoms and suddenly said to Song Wenchao:

"The beauty of the peach blossoms is as red as the beauty of the face. Your cousin surnamed Mu is a perfect match for this scene."

It was just a casual remark, and soon they were talking about other things.

But it was this sentence that Shu Yuyan remembered in her heart.

And when he heard Song Yurou's plan, he somehow got someone to add fuel to the fire.

Adding more strength to the original owner's death.
