flamboyant - Kapitel 130
My mother moved a chair in front of me and asked, "Fourth Madam, why have you been put in solitary confinement?"
You ask me? Who should I ask? "I don't know." I advocated divorcing her.
Mother complained, "You're not allowed to scheme against the Fourth Madam."
Pshaw, who has the time to scheme against her? I hate her.
"If you're dissatisfied, you must choose the right person to talk to. It's not easy for the Fourth Madam at home."
I didn't divorce her. Why are you looking for me? "Go talk to Zimo."
Mother raised her hand to hit him again. "If I could find him, would I be arguing with you! The Fourth Young Master doesn't go to anyone's room now, and the one causing the most trouble is his former most favored concubine."
"Who is it?" I'll make sure she leaves tomorrow.
"Don't think about anything bad. Mother is just reminding you not to bully Lu Susu."
"I'm your daughter." Are you kidding me?
My mother, seething with anger, shoved my head hard: "How dare you say you're a daughter?"
I quickly backed away. "Mom—" What are you doing?
"Don't shout, I get angry just looking at you."
I'm going through menopause.
"You stay home by yourself, I'm going to check on your Aunt Yun."
Let's go. "Respectfully seeing off the Empress Dowager."
My mother immediately turned around and hit me: "You want to kill your mother!"
I fled in a disheveled state. "I was wrong, I was wrong..."
"If I don't beat you for a day, you'll become arrogant and ignorant."
I hid under the table and wagged my tail at her. "You're so kind."
My mother discriminated against me and turned to leave the house.
I slowly crawled out. I slammed the paper on the table: "If you don't come back for a week, I'm dumping you."
...
I sat alone in the Ministry of Rites office, drinking tea and enjoying a meal. Official business is great—relaxed and comfortable, and I completely ignored the bewildered middle-aged men outside.
"Lord Shen, this is the fragrant milk cake you ordered."
I pointed to the table: "Put it there." It was eight o'clock, but it didn't arrive until nine. The efficiency was poor.
He put it away and didn't leave.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Does he intend to watch me eat?
"Sir, you haven't paid me yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiuyi quickly took out a silver note and put it in his hand: "Let's go."
"I'll take my leave now." He scurried away.
I said to Wang Xiuyi, "I'll pay you back when I have time."
Wang Xiuyi smiled obsequiously: "No need, we're like family."
He also said, "I will praise you before the Emperor when I have the chance."
"Thank you for your promotion, Lord Shen."
You're welcome. A moment later, several people carried a wooden box straight to my office: "Lord Shen, Master Shen has brought this for you to take a look."
I glanced at the wooden crate. What was this? "Got it." The crowd dispersed, and I opened the enormous wooden crate with great interest.
Wow! So many beautiful women, photos of beautiful women, at least a hundred, all spread out.
I picked out the most prominent one: "Beautiful." I especially love small, cherry-like mouths.
Scrolling down further, I picked up a picture from the corner: "This one's pretty too, delicate features." Should I grab a red pen and annotate a few to see what happens? Once you have a good job, a beautiful woman's father will naturally be willing to send her to you. Hehe.
"Lord Shen, the Ministry of Works is short-handed and wants us to help. Lord Wang asked if you are interested."
I quickly closed the box containing the beautiful woman. "Yes, wait a moment." There was extra money there, so of course I was interested.
...Welcoming the morning dew, bidding farewell to the evening glow, watching the new sun rise, and then the moon hangs high in the sky. Watching the old man climb the mountain, I now escort him back to his garden. When I have nothing to do, I look at the beauties; when I'm idle, I flirt with handsome men; I tend to the grass and willows. The forsythia in the outer courtyard hasn't bloomed yet.
Zi Mo is actually going to marry Gao Zhenxin. I stared intently at the imperial edict that had arrived early, wanting to burn it with a magnifying glass, but alas, fate was against us. But it doesn't matter. She came in; I'm going to suffocate her.
"The betrothal ceremony will be held today, and the wedding will take place in three days." The shameless man is already making preparations for the grand wedding.
"Didn't you already marry her once? Isn't Lu Susu enough for you?!"
He shamelessly flattered me, saying, "Miss Gao is different; she comes from a noble family."
"You mean I'm not noble enough?" I come from a humble background.
"Father is wrong. What Father means is that his family has more prestige than the Lu family."
"That's just being a snob and favoring the rich."
