765, sincerity

At night, Xu Shu finally opened the door of the main house and called Yuzhu in, "Yuzhu, move a brazier to burn all the waste paper!"

Yuzhu looked at the dozens of crumpled pieces of waste paper piled on the table, and couldn't help but say curiously, "Miss, what are you going to draw?"

"Draw whatever you want! It's burned!" Xu Shu gathered it and sat on the dark side of the candlelight.

"Yes!" Yuzhu brought the brazier, burned the waste paper a little, and took an incense burner to dispel the fireworks in the house.

Xu Shu watched Yuzhu burn all the waste paper left over today. It was painted by Zhou Jin after she was frivolous to vent her anger, but she couldn't draw anything decent. As soon as she picked up the pen, Zhou Jin's scarlet eyes and injured expression flashed in front of her eyes, and she had no way to write.

"Miss..." Looking at Xu Shu being stunned, Yuzhu called out.

"What's up?"

"You haven't used dinner today..."

Xu Shu turned her head and looked at Zhong Lu. Sure enough, after dinner, she was full of fullness by Zhou Jin, so she could not afford to eat.

"Miss, the lady is busy with cousin entering the mansion these two days. No one cares about you anymore. You can't just do whatever you want. My body is so hungry that my wife should be talking about you again!"

"Just ask the kitchen to do something!" Xu Shu waved her hand, not showing much interest.

"yes!"

Yuzhu moved the candlestick to Xu Shu, and Xu Shu hurriedly said, "No need, you go down, you don't know, I'm not afraid of the dark!"

After the jade beads went down, Xu Shu immediately rushed to the dressing box. Sure enough, there were seven or eight purple-red marks on her neck, and she suddenly shivered with anger. Although she was ready to lose her virginity when she was in Pingliang City, when this moment was about to come, she found that she still couldn't accept it.

"It's so pretentious!" Xu Shu cursed at herself in the mirror. After a long time, she gradually calmed down until her expression returned to normal.

The next day when Xu Shu went to pay homage to Mrs. Zheng Si, Mrs. Zheng Si saw a white cloth tied around Xu Shu's neck and asked, "What's wrong with your neck?"

Xu Shu said ashamed, "I accidentally burned it while taking a shower last night and applied the scalded plaster. Because it was so dark, I was afraid that it would scare people, so I got pestered!"

After hearing Xu Shu say that the medicine had been applied, Mrs. Zheng Si felt relieved and asked again, "Is it so hot? Why did it suddenly burn? How did the Yinzhi Yuzhu serve?"

Xu Shu explained, "It was her daughter who was playing tricks on herself and accidentally hit a copper pot with hot water. She burned her neck and knocked her chin! If you don't do their business, mother should not blame them. She has used medicine and will be cured in a few days!"

"You are not a playful person, so you must be covering it for them!" Mrs. Zheng Si was a little blamed, but she still followed Xu Shu and did not ask again, "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong in the past two days, so you don't have to see anyone, otherwise others would think that I beat you!"

"Mother, I can't bear to beat me!" Xu Shu laughed and stepped forward to rub her shoulders for Mrs. Zheng Si.

Mrs. Zheng Si took the opportunity to hold Xu Shu's hand in her hand, "I really can't bear to hit you!"

"Madam, Miss Jiu! The thrush is here!" Jin Ling quietly came in and reported.

"Call in!" The old lady must have given the instructions from the foes, so Mrs. Zheng Si would of course see her.

"Mrs. Fourth Lady, Ninth Lady, please come here!"

"Is there anything wrong with the old lady?" Mrs. Zheng Si nodded and asked casually.

Huamei smiled and said, "The old lady only ordered me to pass the message. I don't know why. But the third lady and the seventh lady are also in the old lady's house. Maybe it's related to the third lady and the seventh lady!"

Mrs. Zheng Si understood that this was Mrs. Zheng San’s failure to find her yesterday, so today I put pressure on the old lady and brought Xu Shu with me. The old lady now regards Zheng Wanli as the next hope of the Zheng family, and of course she will not refute any requests related to Zheng Wanli.

"Let's go!" Mrs. Zheng Si took Xu Shu and followed Huamei to the room. Sure enough, she saw Mrs. Zheng San who could not hide her pride.

"Old Lady is looking for me?" Seeing that the old Lady is happy today, even with joy, she knew that the old Lady is counting on Zheng Wanli to continue the glory of the queen. She did not care how ridiculous the King of Qing was, she only knew that Zheng Wanli could bring the glory to the Zheng family after entering Prince Qing's Mansion.

The old lady nodded, "Tomorrow, Sister Li will enter the palace to thank you. You will enter the palace more than your third sister-in-law. Sister Yi often enters the palace by orders. You should be familiar with the situation in the palace between the two teams. Tomorrow, you will accompany the third wife and Sister Li to enter the palace!"

It turned out to be for this matter! Mrs. Zheng Si was not so repulsive, but she thought that every time Xu Shu entered the palace, something bad would inevitably happen, so she was reluctant to let Xu Shu get involved.

"My mother dared not refuse to agree to arrange her daughter-in-law like this. But her former son, Princess Ji, sent a post and invited Yijie'er to go to the Ji Palace to enjoy the flowers. It happened to be tomorrow. Yijie'er has already received the post. If she doesn't go, it would be inappropriate!"

Although Princess Ji cannot be liked by the Empress Dowager too much, the unique King Ji loves this civilian princess very much. Moreover, Prince Ji is now worthy of use, but he cannot offend him. Seeing this, the old lady no longer force herself, "Since that's the case, then you can accompany her!"

"Yes!" Mrs. Zheng Si replied.

The old lady reminded Xu Shu again, "When you go to Prince Ji's Mansion, you must be polite and not lose your respect in front of Princess Ji!"

"Yes!" Xu Shu nodded and responded.

The old lady told me again, "Everyone is concerned with respect and reciprocity. You have been in contact with Princess Ji for some time. You always go to Princess Ji's mansion to bother the princess. You should invite Princess to come to our mansion as a guest! It just so happens that your fifth brother is going to get married. If you go tomorrow, you will invite Princess Ji to have a wedding banquet. You must be sincere. If you are not sincere enough and Princess Ji doesn't come, others will just think that our Zheng family does not understand etiquette!"

The old lady's meaning was that if Princess Ji didn't come, it would be that Xu Shu had no sincerity for the invitation! There was no need to think that the old lady wanted to invite Princess Ji to the Zheng family to introduce Zheng Wanli to Princess Ji to pave the way for Zheng Wanli.

The old lady was not in charge of how Zheng Wanli and Mrs. Zheng Si was praised, but she should not make things difficult for her daughter. Mrs. Zheng Si was about to refute when she suddenly heard Mrs. Zheng San speak.

"Yes! People like us value rules and etiquette the most. If they lose etiquette, they will lose face of our Zheng family!" Obviously, the old lady looked at Zheng Wanli, making Mrs. Zheng San couldn't help but feel proud.
