Ling Shuo reached out to pinch Jiujiu's cheeks. His hands were instantly covered with rouge. It was as white as flour.
After seeing Jiujiu's fair skin without any makeup and seeing Jiujiu's face smeared with white rouge, Ling Shuo frowned.
His subordinate quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Ling Shuo.
Ling Shuo wiped the rouge off his hands and said, "Wash your face."
Hearing that Ling Shuo wanted her to wash her face, Jiujiu frowned and said reluctantly, "I don't think that's a good idea."
She had spent half an hour painstakingly smearing her face like this. If she washed her face, how could she pretend to be pitiful?
Seeing Jiujiu's reluctance, Ling Shuo grabbed Jiujiu's arm and dragged Jiujiu into the room.
Kicking the door open, Ling Shuo looked at the lazy servants in the room and said sternly, "Get some water and help Young Mistress wash her face."
Under Ling Shuo's deadly stare, Jiujiu reluctantly washed off all the rouge on her face.
Seeing that Jiujiu's face had become delicate again, Ling Shuo's expression eased.
Ling Shuo raised his hand and stroked Jiujiu's cheek. He stepped out and said, "Follow me."
Jiujiu looked at Ling Shuo in surprise. Was Ling Shuo going to serve tea with her?
Jiujiu followed him and looked up at Ling Shuo's resolute profile. She asked softly, "Where are you going?"
"To serve tea."
Ling Shuo answered concisely.
Ling Shuo's answer made Jiujiu frown even more.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the hall and saw that it was Ling Shuo who brought Jiujiu, everyone's expressions were particularly interesting. Especially Old Madam, whose wrinkled face was full of astonishment. She subconsciously looked at Ling Shuo's mother and asked with her eyes, "Didn't Ling Shuo say that he didn't care about this little b * tch sent by the Bai Family? Why would he accompany this little b * tch to serve tea? "
Of course, Ling Shuo's mother was also serving tea.
When Bai Yannan had violated the agreement between the two families and married Liu Ye, the Bai Family had proposed to send Jiujiu over to the Bai Family. She had asked Ling Shuo's opinion..
... and. if marrying Jiu could make the Bai Family's guard..... if marrying Jiu could make the Bai Family let their guard down. then. Shuo.
. she was was........
Anyway, the Ling Family had plenty of money.
Moreover, last night, she had heard that Ling Shuo hadn't come back. He hadn't even seen Jiujiu. How could he bring Jiujiu to serve tea in the blink of an eye?
Looking at Jiujiu's face, which was still beautiful even without makeup, Ling Shuo's mother almost tore her handkerchief.
Ling Shuo sent Jiujiu to the hall. After looking around, he stepped away.
Even if Ling Shuo didn't say a word, he brought Jiujiu here in person, which gave Jiujiu a lot of face.
Seeing Ling Shuo leave, the women of the Ling Family, who already disliked the Bai Family, felt even more displeased with Jiujiu. Especially Ling Shuo's mother, who looked at Jiujiu with fire in her eyes, let alone the old lady who raised Fang Xiuzhu.
Bai Yannan's action of marrying Liu Ye instead of Fang Xiuzhu not only disgraced the Ling Family, but also slapped her in the face.
The old lady had been respected all her life. It was the first time that she had suffered such a big loss. How could she swallow it?
However, now the Ling Family and the Bai Family still had a good attitude on the surface, so she could only vent her anger on Jiujiu, the woman sent by the Bai Family.
After Ling Shuo left, the old lady returned to her mean appearance in an instant. She looked at Jiujiu contemptuously and snorted. "Come and serve tea. How did the Bai Family teach you?"
In the face of the old lady's mean words, Jiujiu was like a soft bun. She walked into the room silently, picked up the teacup and served tea to the old lady.
Jiujiu's sullen appearance angered the old lady even more. The old lady picked up the teacup, then pretended to be scalded and threw the teacup at Jiujiu. She scolded while throwing, "Bastard, do you want to burn me to death?"
Jiujiu had been prepared for the old lady's action. Jiujiu got up quickly and dodged. The teacup fell to the ground directly, but the tea, which the old lady said was scalded, didn't even have a little steam.
Jiujiu's action angered the old lady even more, so the old lady didn't notice it. The old lady's face was as dark as a cumulonimbus cloud. However, before the old lady got angry, she heard Jiujiu say, "Grandma, I know you don't like tea, so I specially asked someone to cool this cup of tea before bringing it here."
Jiujiu's words were like a slap to the old lady's face. The old lady, who wanted to use this as a pretext to make a fuss, immediately lowered her voice.
She said that Jiujiu wanted to burn her to death, but Jiujiu said that the tea was cooled before bringing it here.
The old lady's face was already ugly, and she looked at Jiujiu as if she wanted to swallow her alive.
However, Jiujiu was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Go ahead and glare. I'm a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. I'm fearless.
Encountering Jiujiu, the old lady could only be defeated.
After the old lady was defeated, she became Ling Shuo's mother.
Because the old lady was defeated by Jiujiu, Ling Shuo's mother was in a dilemma.
If she taught Jiujiu a lesson, then her methods would be more powerful than the old lady's, and she would make the old lady unhappy. If she didn't teach Jiujiu a lesson and couldn't help the old lady vent her anger, the old lady would also be unhappy.
Being in a dilemma, Ling Shuo's mother hated Jiujiu even more.
Ling Shuo's mother thought for a long time. She wanted to punish Jiujiu as she did to Bai Jiujiu. However, when she opened her mouth to speak, she saw Ling Shuo standing outside the door.
She dared not punish Ling Shuo's newlywed wife in front of Ling Shuo, even though she was Ling Shuo's mother.
Ling Shuo's mother was like a duck that had been strangled. She was instantly silenced.
Ling Shuo stood outside the door and looked at Jiujiu, who looked extremely pitiful like a little chick that had fallen into a pack of wolves. He asked, "Are you done?"
Ling Shuo's voice was like a basin of ice water, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the room.
The old lady, who had wanted to complain about Jiujiu's shortcomings, was instantly silenced.
Ling Shuo was the grandson who brought glory to the Ling family. Old Madam liked and feared him at the same time.
In addition, Ling Shuo had been away from home since he was a child. When he returned to the country, he went to war. Even when he returned to Nancheng, he spent most of his time outside dealing with government affairs. The time he spent at home was less than a month, and half a month was spent cooped up in the study. Old Madam wasn't close to Ling Shuo at all.
Because they weren't close, it was inevitable that they would get in the way. However, for the sake of her own face, the old lady braced herself and teased tentatively, "You came so quickly. Are you afraid that we'll eat your wife?"
