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

After paying respects to the old lady on the fifteenth day, the eldest lady quickly arranged two maids to serve Mu Zhou.

Of course, after bringing them here, the nanny naturally realized that Mu Zhou was being treated harshly. Although she didn't say it explicitly, the steward immediately brought enough charcoal and brand new quilts.

The nanny also brought three pieces of cloth for Mu Zhou to choose the patterns and patterns to make new clothes for her.

Mu Zhou leaned on the soft couch, holding the hot water bottle in his hand, feeling warm and comfortable all over.

She sighed with contentment.

This is how people live.

The two maids serving her were named Huimei and Chuntao. They were not very old, but they were efficient and honest.

Regarding the elopement, the second wife finally pushed out the gossiping nanny and maid.

They confessed that they plotted against Mu Zhou because they were so angry that Mu Zhou, a cousin who was staying with them, dared to flirt with Young Master Luo.

Although this statement could not convince the crowd, the two men hanged themselves with a rope after they finished speaking. In the end, this was the only way to end it.

In order to comfort Mu Zhou, the eldest lady gave her a lot of things.

Whether it was a reward or the result of elopement, Mu Zhou accepted it all.

My cousin's mother-in-law is the second wife in the mansion, so it is definitely impossible for her to be brought down easily. Mu Zhou didn't expect to find out anything at the beginning.

She remembered the original owner's wish.

The original owner just wanted to live a good life with her mother, find a man who could protect her and marry him in the future, take her mother away, and not be bullied again.

Mu Zhou smiled.

Isn't there someone ready-made in Prince Qi's Palace who can protect her?

On the day of going to the Princess's Mansion, Mu Zhou brought Chun Tao, who was more straightforward.

The specifications of the Princess's Mansion are not much different from those of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, and both are located in the best locations in the capital.

The Winter Solstice Banquet, as the name suggests, is a banquet held to celebrate the winter solstice.

The people who received the invitation were all from wealthy families, and they all dressed up in exquisite attire to attend the event.

At this time, the eldest princess had not arrived yet, and everyone was sitting in the inner hall chatting.

The first lady brought Mu Zhou and the eldest concubine's daughter Song Yuyun, and the second lady brought Song Yurou to their seats. Mu Zhou sat at the back as usual and hardly participated in any conversation.

It was not until the eldest princess arrived and talked for a long time that everyone dispersed.

"Zhou'er, go out with them and take a look."

At the urging of the eldest lady, Mu Zhou stood up and followed her out.

Mu Zhou seldom goes out and isn't very familiar with anyone, so she can only follow them. Song Yuyun has her own circle and soon leaves her behind to play.

Song Yurou didn't want to miss such an opportunity.

Because the elopement plan failed, she wanted to eat Mu Zhou alive. Moreover, Mu Zhou claimed to be sick and hid in the yard and did not go out for the past two days, so she and her mother had no chance to make another move.

Although it is not easy to take action in the Princess's Mansion today, it is still possible to have fun with her.

She looked at Mu Zhou, who was looking down at her, and said in a drawn-out tone:

"Be careful, this is the Princess's residence. Your every move represents the Qi Wang Mansion. Don't embarrass the Qi Wang Mansion."

"Yes, second lady."

Mu Zhou nodded in fear.

In fact, Song Yurou is two years younger than Mu Zhou. When she first entered the palace, the original owner called her "Sister Yurou", but Song Yurou immediately pushed her to the ground and humiliated her.

After that, the original owner followed the people in the mansion and called her the Second Miss.

Song Yurou looked at the cowardly Mu Zhou in front of her, snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards a pavilion.

*

In the pavilion, four or five gorgeously dressed young ladies were sitting together.

After seeing Song Yurou, he greeted her warmly.

Everyone secretly looked at Mu Zhou who was following behind, but ultimately chose to ignore him.

Only Shu Yuyan, who was sitting in the middle surrounded by people, paused for a moment when her gaze swept over Mu Zhou, and her brows slightly frowned, but she quickly returned to normal.

Mu Zhou happened to look at her and smiled at her.

Mu Zhou is naturally good-looking, and she can make people fall in love with her at first sight even with just light makeup. Now that she has dressed up a little, her appearance is even more dazzling.

That stunning face made Shu Yuyan's faint smile freeze instantly.

She guessed the identity of the woman in front of her.

Perhaps, this is the cousin who is staying at Prince Qi's mansion.

It seems that the elopement did not succeed after all.

In fact, this was the first time Shu Yuyan met Mu Zhou.

But it’s not the first time I’ve heard of it.

Sure enough, she was as rosy as the second prince described.

No wonder he took it to heart.

The second prince is Shu Yuyan's childhood sweetheart. As a prince, he has been cautious in his words and deeds since he was a child. While reading the books of sages, he also did not forget to practice martial arts. He has almost no time for love affairs, and he would not pay attention to any woman's appearance.

Even Shu Yuyan, his childhood sweetheart, never received a single compliment on her appearance.

So that day, when she heard him praising another strange woman, her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped.

In fact, she didn't really admire the second prince.

Shu Yuyan's mother had told her a long time ago that the Second Prince's mother had a favorite candidate for the Second Prince's consort, and it was not her.

Her family background made it impossible for her to become a concubine.

So she knew very well that she could not marry the second prince.

But the second prince treated her very well and put a lot of thought into her birthday gifts every year.

Moreover, the Second Prince kept his distance from every woman, only she was special.

So when Shu Yuyan heard the compliment, she inevitably became jealous.

Jealous of the woman who received praise from the second prince.

Shu Yuyan slowly inserted her fingertips hidden in her sleeves into her palm until she felt the pain, and then she let go.

Mu Zhou pretended not to notice the strange look on her face and sat down.

Seeing that no one asked, Song Yurou took the initiative to introduce:

"This is my cousin Mu Zhou, who is staying at my house. My cousin's father was once a wealthy businessman in the south, who made his fortune selling jade. His family is wealthy and knowledgeable."

Another lady who was familiar with Song Yurou immediately understood what she wanted to do, and took over her words and said:

"Oh? If that's the case, then you must be familiar with jade as well?"

Song Yurou smiled with satisfaction and replied:

"Of course. They say it's hard to tell jade chess pieces apart from stone ones, but for my cousin, it's incredibly easy. If you don't believe me, let her show you."

As she spoke, she asked the servants to bring over two boxes of chess pieces that were placed aside.

Both boxes of chess pieces are black, one box contains jade chess pieces, and the other is made of ordinary stones.

Soon, the maid beside Song Yurou brought a three-inch deep oval plate, and the water inside even had a thin layer of ice.

Song Yurou poured all the chess pieces from the two boxes into the oval plate, mixing the two black chess pieces together. She then took off a hairpin from her head and stirred it in the water a few times.

After doing all this, Song Yurou said to Mu Zhou maliciously:

"Okay, cousin, it's up to you now."

The others watched all this with different expressions on their faces.

Everyone knows how cold the frozen water is in winter, but you still let people keep picking and choosing among it. You are just being mean.
