Chapter 7: Fawning
She couldn't help but suspect that Zhen Yuanshan's brain was pumping, and the right to be a housekeeper that only the master's mother had was handed over to her, an unpopular daughter?!
"Hua Niang is still in confinement, you are in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion for the time being, and if you marry Prince An's Mansion in the future, you can also take on the responsibilities of the main mother."
Zhen Yuanshan explained a few words, and helped his favorite concubine to leave quickly.
"Thank you, Daddy." Zhen Chutian thanked him, and when he straightened up again, he already showed a bright smile.
She turned to look at the mother and daughter who were as stunned as wooden chickens: "Mother doesn't have to worry about housekeeping, you can take care of the people around you first." ”
With that, she hummed a little song and left, not caring about the terrible eyes of the two of them.
"Mother, what you did was too unclean, you failed to solve the problem of Hua Niang's child, and you took the right of steward in vain, which is really worth the loss!"
Zhen Yue clutched her handkerchief tightly, and her red lips were about to be bitten.
It's just that the ugly girl occupies the identity of the concubine, and now she has the right to be a housekeeper, how can she bear it!
Tang Meihua's face was also ugly: "I didn't expect Zhen Chutian to be a scheming person, we underestimated her in the past, and from today on, we must no longer treat her as a fool." ”
"The power of the steward has to be taken back, and I will be uncomfortable for a day when it falls into her hands!"
As night fell, all corners of the Prime Minister's Mansion were filled with discussions.
The people were shocked when they learned that the housekeeper had been robbed of the housekeeper's power, and the eldest lady, who had always been unfavored, was shocked.
The protagonist who was being discussed was lying on the couch, happily applying herbs to his face.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the window.
Zhen Chutian was keenly aware of it, and when he looked through the faint moonlight, he saw a black shadow slowly appearing by the window.
Looking at his body and posture, he is a man who knows martial arts!
She was alarmed, and slowly pulled the anesthetic spray out of the system.
Under the moonlight, the screen window was quietly opened, and the black shadow turned over and approached the couch silently.
Zhen Chutian tightened the quilt, and at the moment when the person approached, he lifted the spray and pressed the pump port.
Unexpectedly, the man had already noticed it, and the man's hand slashed at her wrist, and the spray fell to the ground.
The man in black let out an expected sneer: "I knew you weren't honest." ”
Zhen Chutian rubbed his wrist painfully, only to feel that the voice was very familiar: "Who are you?"
"Forgot about me so soon?" The man ripped off his mask, revealing his perfect handsomeness.
Zhen Chutian opened his mouth in shock: "It's you!" How do you know I'm here?"
Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, isn't this the little fresh meat in the cave!
Gu Chenghan looked at her with a smile: "Don't care how I found you, have you been happy with your ill-gotten gains these days?"
Hearing him mention the money, Zhen Chutian coughed lightly twice: "I saved your life, what's wrong with taking something valuable as a reward?"
"The silver flower is spent, and you have to pay it back, this is not something you should take."
Gu Chenghan put away the only smile he had and stretched out his hand towards her.
Zhen Chutian subconsciously covered his sleeve with his fingers: "What's unusual about this thing?"
A handsome guy killer chased here for the jade wrench, and it was not easy to think about it.
"Those who know too much are dead." Gu Chenghan narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes revealed a little impatience.
Zhen Chutian pouted: "A few taels of silver want to send me?" No way, if you don't use the jade wrench to offset the favor, then you have to give some other benefits, right?"
"What benefits do you want?"
Gu Chenghan hugged his arms and waited for her to speak.
Seeing that he was always calm and relaxed, a bad taste suddenly rose in Zhen Chutian's heart: "You are so handsome, it is better to pay off the money and debts!"
Gu Chenghan slowly widened his eyes, staring at the ugly girl in front of him speechless.
He had never seen such an unreserved woman say such explicit words to a man.
"What, how? Don't want to? If you don't want to, forget it. Zhen Chutian suddenly felt bored, and secretly poked and shoved the jade wrench under the pillow.
Gu Chenghan sneered, suddenly walked to the side of the mark, and reached out to gently hook her chin: "If you are so hungry and thirsty, it is not that I can't fulfill you." ”
After all, he really pressed it down.
There was warmth on his lips, and Zhen Chutian only felt a bang in his head, as if he had been struck by lightning.
She, she, she, she, was actually taken advantage of?!
Gu Chenghan pinched her chin, and her eyes gradually darkened.
He just wanted to clean up this woman honestly, but when he tasted this sweet taste, he was reluctant to let go for a while.
"Rascals! Shameless!"
Zhen Chutian pushed him away violently, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand: "You actually eat Lao Niang's tofu!"
She has lived for so many years, and she has never been treated like this!
System: "You are content, this man is so handsome, are you taking advantage of it?"
Zhen Chutian rolled his eyes: "My scar is still beautiful!"
Seeing her scolding and rolling her eyes, Gu Chenghan doubted her appearance for the first time in her life: "I have already given what you want, bring it with your fingers." ”
"I don't!"
Zhen Chutian immediately covered his jade wrench finger and glared at him vigilantly: "I'm just joking, you take advantage of me and want to get things back, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" I don't give!"
She found that when dealing with this man, there must not be anything good, either she met an assassin or she was going to break the bank.
If she doesn't get some benefits, she is sorry for her calamity.
Gu Chenghan lowered his face coldly, and finally lost his patience.
The cold light flashed in the room, and he had already flashed the dagger: "I don't want to do it to a woman, do you give it to me yourself, or let me take it back?"
"You, you, I'm your savior, how can you do this to me!" Zhen Chutian was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the bed.
It's sad enough for her to dress as an ugly girl, and now she cherishes this little life very much, if she finishes her calf, how worthless it is!
Gu Chenghan saw that she was scared like this, and an imperceptible smile flashed in her eyes: "Bring it." ”
Zhen Chutian covered his jade wrench, and was unwilling to hand it over like this: "It's not impossible to give it to you, but I saved your life at that time, you have to give me some more benefits, after all, your life is not worth more than a few dozen taels of silver, right?"
Seeing that she was obviously afraid of returning the poor silver, Gu Chenghan took a deep breath helplessly, took out the silver ticket from her body and handed it over: "One hundred taels of silver, I only have these on me." ”
"Not enough, I want five hundred taels of silver." Zhen Chutian stretched out a hand and shook it in front of him?
Gu Chenghan: ..
Does this woman know that her life is in his hands?
In view of the fact that he met such a wealthy woman for the first time, after weighing whether to kill or not, he suddenly decided to be abnormal: "I can give you a written note, and the remaining four hundred taels will be sent another day." ”
"This ....."
System: "Can't you see that people really don't have so much silver?" Please, eldest sister, the money fan also depends on the situation on different occasions, right?"
Zhen Chutian was just about to speak, but he was stunned by his own system.
She pursed her lips and reluctantly agreed.
The candlelight lit up, Gu Chenghan sat at the table and wrote notes, and his handsome face became more and more difficult to take off his eyes under the soft light.
But Zhen Chutian was not interested in his appearance at all, and his eyes were nailed straight to the note: "Gu Da Niu? Why is your name as casual as a little girl?"
"That's my name, what's wrong?" Gu Chenghan asked rhetorically.
Zhen Chutian put away the note as if it were a treasure: "No, the jade wrench is for you, remember to repay the debt, the young man is so good-looking, don't be a person who doesn't believe in his words." ”
"Hmm."
Gu Chenghan snatched the jade wrench, glanced at her deeply, and broke out of the window with agility.
Watching his back disappear into the night, Zhen Chutian put away his nonchalant expression and staked the silver ticket under the candlestick at the head of the bed.
She didn't believe that this man would come back, but she just took the opportunity to extort a little money.
Now although she is a housekeeper, she is only in charge of the running water in the house, and the silver cannot be touched at all.
She needs silver, at least in the prime minister's mansion where her father doesn't care about her mother, and she can still have something to keep around.
Zhen Chutian retracted his mind and stretched lazily: "Sleep, sleep, sleepy!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang outside the window.
The raindrops the size of beans smashed on the windowsill, and Pei'er ran in with two bowls: "Miss! It was going to rain heavily tonight, and the slave and maid brought the bowl. ”
"What does it have to do with the rain?" Zhen Chutian blinked, only feeling inexplicable.
The next moment, she understood Pei'er's intentions.
The raindrops seeped down the beams, and one by one fell into the bowl on the ground, and the crisp sound of colliding with the porcelain bowl made Zhen Chutian's heart tremble.
Not only did she suspect again that she was not Zhen Yuanshan's biological at all.
"The slave and maid are guarding here, and when the bowl is full of water, go and pour it out, and the young lady can sleep in peace." Pell smiled, and the two dimples were unusually pleasing.
Zhen Chutian gritted his teeth: "How can I sleep in this situation?" You go and get shovels and wooden ladders. ”
"What is Miss going to do?" Perle's eyes widened in confusion.
Zhen Chutian blinked mysteriously: "You'll understand later." ”
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was hiding in the house to sleep, and no one noticed that on the roof of the main hall of the Lotus Pavilion, there were two sneaky scenes.
Early in the morning, Zhen Chutian wore a cloak, and Yan Wei came out of the lotus pavilion, his long hair was wet into wisps, and he was constantly dripping water.
Under the strange gaze of everyone, she and Pei'er struggled to move to the main courtyard.
Tang Meihua was serving tea and water to curry favor with Zhen Yuanshan, trying to get back the power of the housekeeper as soon as possible, and when she saw the two people in the courtyard, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
"Big sister, what's wrong with you? Come in and sit. Zhen Yue reacted first, and pretended to be generous and invited her in.
Zhen Yuanshan frowned, and looked at his eldest daughter's embarrassed appearance with displeasure: "Why are you wet like this?"
"Daddy."
Zhen Chutian wiped his face, and tears fell like money: "Last night's heavy rain, the roof of the lotus pavilion was smashed out of a big hole, and now the main hall and the house are all flooded, and the tables and chairs are almost soaked!"
"How did you get smashed into a big hole? It was rain, not hail. Tang Meihua looked at her suspiciously, feeling in her heart that she was lying.
Pei'er immediately took two steps forward: "What the eldest lady said is true, the lotus hall is in disrepair, it is already leaking, and it rained too much last night, and the beams of the house will rot out of the hole if it is moldy, please also check it." ”
After hearing this, Zhen Yuanshan's face was slowly gloomy.
"The Lotus Pavilion has been leaking rain, why don't you say it?"
Although Zhen Yuanshan dislikes this ugly daughter, he will not let the girl in the house live in a dilapidated house.
If the concubine lives in a house in disrepair and is known, then he will lose face in the capital.
Zhen Chutian trembled and cried: "You are busy on weekdays, your mother has never asked about the affairs of the house, and your daughter has not said it for fear of causing trouble to you, if it is not for the fact that you can't live in anyone, your daughter will not come to disturb you rashly today." ”
Hearing this, Tang Meihua almost learned to shoot on the table.
What has never been asked, isn't this clearly telling Zhen Yuanshan that she, the housewife, deliberately treats the eldest lady of the house?
Sure enough, Zhen Yuanshan was dissatisfied: "Don't you even care about the rain leakage in the Lotus Pavilion?"
"Don't blame Mother! It was the daughter who saw her mother's hard work and didn't want to cause her trouble, so she didn't say anything, and asked her father to calm his anger. Zhen Chutian made an empathetic appearance, and his two big eyes blinked.
For some reason, Zhen Yuanshan suddenly felt that her eldest daughter, who was like a gourd on weekdays, was extremely pitiful today.
He muttered: "The Lotus Pavilion can't live anymore, since you are in the housekeeper, just rub the silver and find someone to repair it." ”
