Chapter 268 Peach Blossom Strategy

Shuyu was a little uneasy, "Ma'am, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Linglong raised her eyebrows and said with a slight smile: "Look, you actually look very delicate. Being a girl has wronged you."

Shu Yu looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her skin was fair and tender, her eyebrows and eyes were straight, her lips were plump, and she was pretty charming. She really had a good posture, and if she dressed up, she would definitely look even better.

She also saw Mrs. Linglong's treacherous smile from the bronze mirror, and she was even more frightened, "This servant is destined to be a girl, and this servant will serve Madam well in the future."

Mrs. Linglong carefully powdered her, dyed her lip gloss, thrushed her eyebrows, and put on a white jade hairpin. Then she took out a piece of Xia Wan'er's clothes from the cabinet, and handed it to Shuyu, "Put it on."

"Replace?" Shuyu became more and more frightened, and knelt down with a puff, "Madam, just tell me what I did wrong, and I will change it."

When Shuyu was with Yuan Cuiyu before, Yuan Cuiyu was not favored, but he would not embarrass her, let alone beat her. Now, with the unfavored Mrs. Linglong, life is even more useless, living cautiously and always having a meal beating and scolding.

The way of heaven is reincarnation, who will the heaven spare? Those who bully the good and fear the evil will eventually be punished by the wicked.

Mrs. Linglong pulled her up and said with a smile: "Silly girl, you have done nothing wrong. I have been observing you these days. You have patience, but you are very loyal to me. Therefore, I have to find a way out for you. I can't let you suffer with me forever."

Shuyu didn't believe a single word of her words, she had gotten used to her viciousness these days, and the life of a servant was nothing to her, she would not take it seriously, let alone pity her.

She must have calculated something in her heart when she said such a thing.

However, she didn't dare to say that, she just raised her innocent face to Madam Linglong, "I will follow Madam, it's not bitter, not bitter at all."

"Well, I know you're sensible." She pulled Shuyu to sit down, staring at her young face. She used to have such a beautiful face, but now crow's feet have crept up the corners of her eyes, she is old.

Men like fresh and young bodies, this time she needs the help of a girl named Shuyu in this turnaround.

"Tonight is the fifteenth day. On the fifteenth day of every month, Mr. Xiang will go to the shrine to offer incense." Mrs. Linglong leaned closer to Shuyu's ear and said a few words.

Shuyu's face changed drastically when he heard the words, and he hurriedly knelt down, "No, no, ma'am, slaves don't dare."

"Do you want to be a girl for the rest of your life?" Mrs. Linglong was a little displeased, but she was not in a hurry. This girl is an ambitious person. She knew that this time was also a good opportunity for her to be in charge, which could change her whole life.

"Servant..." Shuyu hesitated for a moment, she really wanted to be an aunt, but she was afraid of Chen Linglong, she would not be so kind.

"You don't have to repay me. This is all I can do for you. Although you have been serving Yuan Shi before, you have always been loyal to me. Now I have nothing and I can't give you anything. I can only help you all the time." Come on, whether you want to be an aunt or a girl in the future, you can decide for yourself." Mrs. Linglong said softly.

Shu Yu shook his head and said: "No, the servants will not go. After the servants go, there will be no one to serve Madam."

Mrs. Linglong patted the back of her hand, tears welling up in her eyelashes, "I am also very happy that you are so loyal to me, as you please, you can do as you see."

She took out a small bottle, "This is Hehexiang. If you go, light this kind of incense in the shrine, he will naturally be moved, and you will be able to do it. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. I also feel sorry for Mr. Xiang, he has no one around now, and I can't comfort him, so I can only rely on you to take care of him instead of me."

After speaking, she got up and went out.

Shuyu looked at the bottle quietly, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, of course she would go, that might be the only chance in her life.

She doesn't want to be a girl all her life, she just comes from a lower family background, and with her appearance, she can be the master.

After serving Mrs. Linglong's meal, Shuyu found an excuse to go out.

The Shenlou is the place where the tablets of the ancestors of the Xia family are placed, and Zi'an knelt here before.

On the first and fifteenth day of every month, Prime Minister Xia would come here to offer incense at night, praying for the protection of his ancestors.

This day was no exception, especially with so many things happening recently, he felt that his luck was not going well, so he wanted to seek help.

"You wait outside the door." He ordered the accompanying boy.

"Yes!" The boy responded.

He stepped up the steps, preoccupied.

In the conference hall today, when Murong Jie was targeting him, Grand Tutor Liang followed the regent to accuse him, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He thought that Grand Tutor Liang should stand on the same side with him, otherwise, what is the point of the alliance? ?

Just as he was about to open the door, he heard a voice coming from inside.

He was furious, who is still in the shrine so late? Xia Zi'an was not here, and neither was Xia Wan'er, so she could only be a slave in the mansion.

The voice inside came out crisply and melodiously, "I beg the ancestors of the Xia family to bless the prime minister with a successful official career, stay away from villains, bless the old lady in good health, and bless the descendants of the Xia family with prosperity and prosperity."

He was startled, was he actually a caring person?

He gently pushed the door open, and saw a woman kneeling on the ground, kowtowing continuously. The fragrant mist in the shrine was lingering, blowing towards his face. He took a deep breath, and he was so happy that he couldn't tell, as if all the worries were gone. up.

It was Shuyu who was kneeling on the ground, and she hurriedly knelt down to pray when she heard footsteps.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, she turned her head abruptly and stood up hastily, with a gauze as thin as a cicada's wing wrapping her shoulders, indescribably charming.

"Master Xiang!" Shu Yufu took a step back in panic and defended himself, "This servant knows that he is not qualified to come here, please forgive me, servant..."

Prime Minister Xia looked at her, her face was blurred by the lingering smoke.

There was a cold light in Prime Minister Xia's eyes, "Who sent you here?"

On the fifteenth day of every month, he would definitely come here. A servant dressed so gorgeously was kneeling in the shrine, waiting for him to appear. He was at a loss for a moment, but he soon knew what was going on.

"No, no..." Shuyu was really panicked this time, why is it different from what she expected? After hearing what she said, Master Xiang was not moved in the slightest.

Prime Minister Xia bullied her, pinched her chin with one hand, and said sharply, "Say, did Chen Linglong ask you to come here?"

"Master Xiang!" Shu Yu burst into tears and admitted, "Yes, Madam sent the slave over here."

Prime Minister Xia let her go coldly, "What is the purpose of her asking you to come?"

Shuyu knelt down, trembling, "Madam said, there is no one around Xiangye now, and Xiangye will not summon her anymore, she wants a servant to take care of Xiangye instead of her."

"She would think so?" Prime Minister Xia said coldly, "I'm afraid there are other intentions."

Shuyu shook her head, pretending to be cute and pitiful, "The slaveservant serves the madam in the back garden, she knows the madam's heart best, she really loves Xiangye very much, she always tells the slaveservant that she did something wrong , I regret it, but there is no turning back.”
