There is no such thing as three wives and four concubines in the farmer's family, but Luo Xiumei's mother died of illness when she was five years old.

Later, her father found her a stepmother, and the stepmother added two younger brothers and a younger sister to her.

自此，在罗家，罗秀梅就成了地里的小白菜，没人疼，没人爱，干最辛苦的活，吃最少的饭。

Because of this, when other children of the same age are still ignorant, Luo Xiumei already has a fairly clear plan for her future life:

When she grows up in the future, she must find a rich man to marry, even if it is to be a concubine for others.

As her eldest aunt, Mrs. Shen didn't take Shen Chongde back to her parents' house before, and she also revealed that she wanted her to marry her son.

But at that time, Shen Chongde was not even a small merchant, he was just a country boy looking for food in the soil, and the Shen family's family background was also very ordinary, only a little better than ordinary special households.

is far from reaching the height of the "rich man" in Luo Xiumei's mind.

So that time, she excused herself to be young, and when she grew up, she would go over to serve her cousin.

Because at that time, she was also very young, only twelve years old.

Later, Shen Chongde went to Kyoto with the money from the sale of land.

Half a year later, Shen Chongde returned to Jiangzhou City with Qin Jiuniang.

When he came back this time, the former little merchant changed greatly, wearing silk and satin, living in a high-gate compound, having servants at home, and riding in and out of carriages.

After Luo Xiumei heard the news, she deliberately came to Jiangzhou City from the countryside.

She didn't go to Shen Chongde, a cousin, a little girl who was only thirteen years old, squatting at the corner of the street, with a pair of dark eyes, quietly looking at the two magnificent vermilion gates more than a dozen steps away.

That time there were still scattered snow particles floating in the sky, and then the snow particles turned into snowflakes, and the little girl in thin and shabby clothes was so cold that her lips were blue and her teeth were fighting, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

After waiting for more than three hours, when the sky was about to get dark, Shen Chongde came back from outside in a carriage.

She finally waited for her cousin, and confirmed that her cousin had really become rich, and even the fabric used to sew the carriage curtains was a good fabric she had never dared to hope for.

But she still didn't run out to call her cousin, but turned around and went home.

Since then, Luo Xiumei has begun to pay attention to her appearance, cutting down on food and clothing every day, and the little scattered silver that is pulled out of her mouth is all used to dress up.

My cousin is so beautiful, she has to make herself beautiful in order to get into her cousin's eyes.

With such a thought in her heart, Luo Xiumei was like a bamboo shoot buried deep under the soil, secretly accumulating strength, and when the time came, she would break through the ground.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

What was once a little girl has finally grown into a slim girl.

The time Luo Xiumei was waiting for finally came.

去年冬天，也就是秦九娘和沈崇德闹掰后的第三天，罗秀梅立马拿出压在箱底里从来不舍得穿的新衣服，把自己拾掇的干净漂亮，又揣着几双亲手为沈崇德做的靴子，来到江州城，出现在了沈崇德的面前。

There is Qin Jiuniang in the front, and Liu Furong in the back, both of them are stunning.

In addition, after being rich, the people Shen Chongde came into contact with were no longer bitter poor people, and every day I don't know how many warblers and Yanyan took the initiative to move closer to him, all of them showing off their branches.

Therefore, Shen Chongde didn't think much about Luo Xiumei's little cousin, but Shen Pozi was optimistic about this niece and left her by her son's side.

Nominally, she accompanies and takes care of her aunt, but in fact, she creates opportunities for her niece and son to get along.

Therefore, this time she went back to her hometown in the countryside, and did not take this niece away, but let the other party continue to stay in Jiangzhou, one is to take care of her son's diet and daily life, and the other is to prevent Qin Jiuniang from returning to the Shen family.

Mrs. Shen is not stupid, how can she not see the reason why her son and daughter asked her to go back to her hometown in the countryside at this time, isn't she worried that she will cause trouble today.

Then she will go back, and it will be the same to let her niece replace her, just so that her son can see how powerful her niece is.

Luo Xiumei also held back her strength, and after thinking hard all night, she finally came up with a way to clean up Qin Jiuniang.

So this is the scene of Fang Cai.

Luo Xiumei knelt on the ground, thinking proudly in her heart, with the scene of Fang Cai, everyone would think that Qin Jiuniang was a mean and vicious woman in the future, and then sympathize with her cousin in turn.

In this way, the misunderstanding of the world about my cousin can be dispelled.

She did her cousin such a big favor, and her cousin would definitely be very moved, and then marry her.

The more Luo Xiumei thought about it, the more excited she became, as if she had seen her rich appearance in silk and satin.

I didn't know that the good plan she came up with after thinking about it all night was ridiculous like a joke in Qin Jiuniang's place.

Isn't that just a joke?

As the daughter of a family, Qin Jiuniang's own family, although there are few such methods of framing in the back house.

But other people's families have ah, among the noble girls she used to make friends in Kyoto, which family doesn't have a few brothers and sisters?

She listened to them talk about the things in the back house, and her ears were almost calloused.

I've never eaten pork and I've seen pigs run.

Luo Xiumei's little trick is not enough to see at all.

What's more, she also figured out Luo Xiumei's identity in advance from the plug-in of the system.

Looking at Cousin Luo, who was still kneeling on the ground and trembling, but there was excitement and smugness in her eyes, Qin Jiuniang sneered disdainfully in her heart.

"What's your name?"

Qin Jiuniang asked the person kneeling on the ground.

The latter replied timidly: "Return, back to the words of Qin Niangzi, the slave is called, called Xiumei." ”

After speaking, she raised her head and looked at Qin Jiuniang cautiously.

Then, in the next moment, she hung her head in a hurry, her forehead touching the ground, trembling all over, as poor as a little lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

And she, Qin Jiuniang, is an executioner with a big knife in her hand, a green-faced and fanged ghost.

As early as when Luo Xiumei knelt on the ground and cried and begged Qin Jiuniang to spare her life, everyone looked at Qin Jiuniang with a slight color in their eyes.

Everyone has someone in the family.

The main family can be scared like this with a fluttering word, and the subordinates can be scared like this, which shows that the main family must not treat the subordinates well on weekdays.

…… Could it be that Boss Qin's good reputation for treating his subordinates well is fake??

Everyone thought suspiciously.

The facts are in front of them, and they can't help but be suspicious.

Qin Jiuniang took in the changes in everyone's expressions, she did not panic, nor did she rush to justify, but continued to talk to Luo Xiumei who was kneeling on the ground.

"Your name is Xiumei? Well, a good name. ”

Luo Xiumei: "......"

Okay, why did you suddenly boast of her name?

My aunt said that this woman's heart is smaller than sesame mung beans, and her heart is very bad, and whoever makes her unhappy, she will be furious, and then hit someone's board.

She made her unhappy like that just now, why didn't she beat her up?

As long as she beats her board, then her bad reputation for being mean and vicious will be completely confirmed.

Luo Xiumei couldn't figure out Qin Jiuniang's routine, she thought about it in her heart, and replied cautiously: "Slave, slave, thank you Qin Niangzi for your compliment." ”

Qin Jiuniang said: "It's not a compliment, it's just a matter of facts." By the way, how old are you? ”

“…… Back to Qin Niangzi's words, the slave maid is sixteen this year. ”

"It's only sixteen years old, a good age to be released."

“……”

What are you doing with so much nonsense, why don't you hit her board!

Luo Xiumei's heart began to feel a little anxious.

Qin Jiuniang continued to talk to her about what she had, and asked her a lot of questions, most of which were words that would not arouse the other party's vigilance, such as what her preferences were, and whether she was tired of doing the work...... Occasionally, helpful questions are interspersed.

Like now.

Qin Jiuniang: "By the way, why haven't I seen you before?" ”

Luo Xiumei was asked nonsense by her for so long, and she knelt on the ground for a long time, and she was already impatient in her heart.

Hearing this, she blurted out: "The slave maid only entered the mansion at the end of last year." ”

Qin Jiuniang said "oh": "It turns out that you only entered the mansion after I left, no wonder I haven't seen you before." ”

This time, without waiting for Luo Xiumei to speak, Qin Jiuniang suddenly frowned and said "Huh".

"No, since you only entered the mansion after I left, how can you be sure that I am the mistress here?"
