Fleeing back to the Moon Embracing Pavilion, Shuxiu was leading the servant girls below to prepare the New Year's gifts for Hua Rong's foppish younger brothers. Seeing Shuxiu running over in a hurry like her tail was on fire, Shuxiu stretched her head to look. No one chased after her?
"Miss, did you see a ghost?"
"Go away, you're so rude." Huarong sat down angrily, picked up the teapot and drank. Fortunately, the tea was warm and not hot.
"Miss, the ban on the Zhang family has been lifted. Zhang Xiaotian wants to see you. Do you want to see him?" Shuxiu handed over an invitation card and invited Huarong to a banquet at Yipin Lou.
"Of course, why not?" Huarong nodded and glanced at the gift list. This year's foppish little brothers were several times more than the previous years. The gift list was three pages long.
Coincidentally, the Wu Clan had just made two sets of winter clothes for her and personally brought them over. Glancing at the long gift list on the tea table, she shook her head. "Other girls prepare gifts for their best friends. You're good, giving them to your foppish little brothers. When will you accept this kindness?"
"Mother, those little brothers can also be best friends." Huarong corrected her seriously.
The Wu Clan was helpless. They helped her try on the clothes and found nothing wrong. Shaking their heads, they sighed and went back. Huarong curiously pulled Shuxiu over and asked, "What's wrong with my mother recently? She's always sighing. "
"Miss, the ugly girl from the Li family also proposed marriage yesterday. She's only waiting for spring to come. Madam usually compares you to the Fifth Lord. That ugly girl is so ugly. She's even younger than you. She's already proposed marriage. But what about you? She didn't even propose marriage! "
The more Shuxiu spoke, the more disappointed she was. It was as if she was possessed by the Wu Clan. Huarong immediately moved three meters away from her. Reaching out, she pulled the feather duster from the cabinet and waved it at her. "You're so rude. Did I spoil you too much? How dare you criticize the master! "
"Miss!" Shuxiu stamped her feet and was so anxious that she was about to cry. "This servant heard from Big Sister Bi that Madam drank tea with those madams yesterday and was almost forced to cry."
"What?" Huarong was furious. He put down the feather duster and rolled up his sleeves. "Why didn't you say earlier that my mother was wronged?"
"Madam doesn't allow me to say." Shuxiu felt wronged.
"You won't say anything just because I don't want you to?" Huarong's perspective was different. He was angry.
Shuxiu felt even more wronged. "This servant also has to listen to Madam."
"Alright, let's go and meet those ladies." Huarong ground his teeth and rubbed his palms.
In a well-to-do family like the Gu family, the madams didn't need to do much. They would be busy if they were fed by the palm, but if they weren't fed by the palm, they didn't need to go out to earn money either. In fact, they were no different from rice worms. In their free time, they would gather with the same people to chat and pass the time.
Gu Weiren received an idle position in the Hanlin Academy, so he had to report to the Hanlin Academy every day. Therefore, the Wu Clan was especially free these days.
An hour later, Huarong got out of the carriage and looked up at the words "Birch Gathering Tower." "This is the place my mother often comes to?"
"Yes." Shuxiu nodded.
"Let's go and have a look." Huarong walked in.
As the number one female playboy in the capital and deeply favored by the Emperor, Huarong was a famous person. Before she entered, the manager was already excited and came out to greet her with a big smile. "Oh, what brings the County Princess of Minhui here? Please come in. Quickly, prepare the best and most elegant private room for the County Princess. "
"Manager." Huarong raised her hand to stop him. "I'm here to find someone."
"Who is the County Princess looking for?" the manager asked hurriedly.
Huarong gestured to Shuxiu, and Shuxiu immediately handed over the money and said, "My County Princess is looking for Madam Guo of the clothing store in front of the street."
"Yes, I'll take you there." The manager took the money and smiled even more greasily. He wished he could carve a smile on his face and never have to accept it.
Huarong waved her hand. "No need. Just tell me where she is."
"She's in the private room in the Earth Room. Please go ahead, County Princess."
Huarong laughed dryly and waved her fan as she went upstairs. The Earth Room was easy to find, and she soon arrived at the door.
"Is the Gu Family's Fifth Madam coming today?" A female voice came from inside. Huarong had seen this person before. Her husband's family was mainly in the jade business.
Before she could knock, she heard the voice again. "Hey, how could she have the face to go out? If I were her, I wouldn't dare to leave the room. I'd just kill myself. "
"Look at how proud she was yesterday. So what if I'm a County Princess? She'll be seventeen after the New Year. No one wants her. I heard that no one even proposed marriage. "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. She used to have the best life among us. She even looked down on us. This is karma. She has no son, and her daughter can't get married. It's so funny just thinking about it. Just wait, the misery is still to come. What good ending can she have?"
Shuxiu was so angry that she reached out to push the door open, but Huarong grabbed her hand. She shook her head slightly. "Go back."
"But …"
"Go back!" Huarong said sternly.
Shuxiu came out of Birch Restaurant. She said unwillingly, "Miss! Why are you so indifferent when those people talk about Madam like that? "
"Mother's circle is only so big, and those madams are all business people. We see each other all the time. Why make things difficult? What Mother wants is face. If you make things difficult for her, not only will she lose face, but she will also lose face. Don't worry, those people will never live a better life than my mother! "
Huarong's expression was cold. She looked back at Birch Restaurant and ordered Shuxiu, "Call them. Tell them that I need their help."
Shuxiu didn't dare to delay any longer. She knew that when Miss looked indifferent and her eyes were cold, it meant that she was angry.
Since their boss needed help, the underlings naturally had to help. Huarong was sitting at the same place with one foot on the chair and one hand casually resting on his knee. He waved the bone fan from time to time. His expression was cold.
"Boss, who made you angry?" Lin Heqing asked carefully. It was rare for her to be so angry.
"Someone wronged my mother," Huarong said. "As a woman, should I stand up for her?"
"Yes!" Dozens of underlings nodded in unison, including Zhang Xiaotian.
"You all said that you would follow me and follow my lead. Does that count?" Huarong asked firmly.
The underlings nodded in unison. "We follow Boss's lead!" A cult atmosphere pervaded the air. They were just short of chanting, "Boss is invincible throughout the ages. No one dares to disobey you."
"Good." She stood up and patted the bone fan on her left palm. She held it tightly with her five claws. "I need you all to do something."
"Boss, please give us your orders."
"I want you all. No matter what method you use, you have to persuade your family to go to my residence to propose marriage. Of course, it's just for show to make my mother proud."
"Ah?" The underlings were stunned.
Lin Heqing: "…" She stole a glance at Huarong. Boss was good-looking, but too fierce. She fought even more fiercely than men. He still remembered that they had gotten to know each other through fighting. He had been beaten black and blue.
Zhang Xiaotian: "…" His gaze never left Huarong's face. Boss was indeed good-looking. Her facial features were exquisite, her temperament was excellent, and she was sharp-tongued and intelligent. But … he still remembered the first time they had a conflict. She had schemed to beat up his men until they couldn't get up. It was better to marry a gentle and pleasant wife. If he was too fierce, he would lose his dignity as a man.
The other underlings: "…" They really wanted to retreat three meters. What should they do? If they retired, would Boss bear a grudge and make things difficult for them?
