Dressed as the villain's stepmother

A mere 100 taels of jade was bought by her for one thousand taels. Xiao Xiyan could imagine how her father would be furious after returning home.

"Hmph, what a villain." Standing next to her was Han Meng, the second lady of Shangshu Mansion. She snorted coldly and looked at Jiang Lianzhu with disdain, "How can we, Xiyan, look down on a mere taels of silver? Only a weak-legged person like you can take this seriously."

Her original intention was to help Xiao Xiyan find a place. Xiao Xiyan gritted her teeth and had to suffer this secret loss: "That's natural, isn't it just a tael of silver?"

As he spoke, he took out a banknote from his sleeve with a forced smile and handed it to the clerk.

Jiang Lianzhu saw it and smiled secretly in her heart.

Not wanting to waste any more time, she didn't want to waste any more words: "Ms. Xiao, is there anything else? If nothing else, please give me a break. I'm busy."

After suffering a big loss at her hands, Xiao Xiyan suppressed her anger and looked at her with her chin slightly raised: "I heard that Divine Doctor Xiao will also attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in the next two days? I wonder if Divine Doctor Jiang knows several noble ladies in the capital. Don’t make a fool of yourself at the birthday banquet.”

"However, I have never recognized Divine Doctor Jiang. After all, we are of different classes and have no contact with each other. Why not let me introduce you to each other." Before Jiang Lianzhu could answer, she said with interest and malice in her eyes, "This is the former The famous Dr. Jiang these days, even though he was born with a mud-legged background, he is very capable. He can raise three wild children by himself without a man, which is really admirable."

She covered her mouth and smiled, her tone full of sarcasm: "I don't know where those three wild children came from. They have children but no men. I'm afraid they are not bastards who were fooled around with some man!"

Hearing her insulting the Three Treasures, Jiang Lianzhu's eyes were filled with chills, and she retorted: "Miss Xiao is really well-educated, and she talks like a bastard. Dare I ask Miss Xiao, you have a father but not a mother, are you also a bastard? "

"You bastard! What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Xiyan felt insulted, her mask had been burned away, and her eyes were cold and poisonous.

"Oh, at least I still have someone who wants me. It's not like Miss Xiao, who doesn't want anyone else. Could it be that Miss Xiao is worse than a broken pair of shoes?" She said, glancing at the sachet on her waist with a half-smile, feeling unhappy. It goes without saying.

Xiao Xiyan gritted her teeth with hatred: "Aren't you just relying on Liao Yunchuan to support you? Let me tell you, your good days of bullying others are coming to an end. The Queen Mother is my aunt. If you beg me now, I can still spare you. one time."

"Oh." She responded calmly, and suddenly approached her with wide eyes as if she had a new hairstyle, "Miss Xiao, you have vegetable leaves on your teeth."

Xiao Xiyan was startled, and when she reacted, she covered her mouth in embarrassment and her face was hot.

"Is there anything else, Miss Xiao? If nothing happens, please give way." After saying that, he squeezed directly between the two of them.

When the ladies around her saw this, they pretended to look at the jewelry as if nothing had happened, and glanced at her casually from time to time.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't care, and walked around the store again, and finally bought a piece of coral and a piece of raw jade, and then went home.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Xiyan was so angry that she smashed the house as soon as she came back. Soon the floor was covered with debris.

"This bitch!" She screamed, smashing the vase on the ground, and let the sharp spikes scratch her feet, bleeding red blood.

In order not to be punished by the Prime Minister, Xiao Xiyan had to spend the last 800 taels of her own money to buy a suitable gift. Now she has no penny left.

The Prime Minister heard the report from his servants that Xiao Xiyan was acting recklessly in the house, and came to her yard with a frown. Sharp yelling and the sound of broken utensils could be heard constantly, and he was completely different from his usual gentle appearance.

"Look what you look like!" He asked and learned that Xiao Xiyan had provoked Jiang Lianzhu outside today, so she came in with a gloomy face.

"Bah!" A teacup was broken at his feet, instantly igniting the Prime Minister's anger.

"Stop it now! How unbecoming!" He roared angrily. When Xiao Xiyan saw this, she put down the utensils in her hands with an unsightly expression.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't mess with Jiang Lianzhu, you are turning a deaf ear to my words!" He said with a sullen face. If he had not attended the birthday banquet in two days, he would have wanted to give this rebellious woman a slap in the face, " There will be a birthday banquet for the two of us in just two days, please be honest and don’t cause any more complications!"

It's so embarrassing to provoke others, but to be teased and humiliated instead!

Seeing that the prime minister's face was so dark that ink dripped from his face, Xiao Xiyan lowered her eyes and admitted her mistake, but she became increasingly annoyed.

On her way back, Jiang Lianzhu found a shop and polished the raw jade into small round pieces that could be threaded. After waiting for a long time, it was almost dark when she returned to Liumen.

Take out the materials you bought on the road, drill a small hole in the coral, and use gold wire to fix the jade on the coral.

By the time I finished all this, it was already dark.

Looking at the coral shrubs dotted with jade, Jiang Lianzhu stretched, packed her things and went to Sanbao's place.

Sanbao had finished his homework and was busy discussing the courses he was interested in. When he saw Jiang Lianzhu coming to them, he immediately jumped off the couch and excitedly pulled her into the house.

"Where's your father?"

On weekdays, whenever she comes back from outside, Liao Yunchuan always visits her house under various excuses.She had been back for a long time today, but she didn't see him coming, so she couldn't help but ask more questions.

"Hey, daddy just left, and mom misses daddy so much?" Liao Xiaole covered her mouth and snickered.

Hearing her words, Erbao also laughed and looked at Jiang Lianzhu narrowly: "Uncle Yang Fei said that daddy is busy recently and has to go back to his house. If mom misses daddy, you can go find daddy."

Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help but feel hot in her face. Seeing their impudent expressions, she immediately straightened her face and said, "What nonsense are you brats talking about!"

Sanbao looked at each other and dropped the topic tacitly.

Mom is shy, they understand!

After putting Sanbao to sleep, Jiang Lianzhu passed by Liao Yunchuan's house on her way back. The room that had always been lit up in the past now had no light at all. She stood there for a moment, and then left.

Damn it, what on earth was she expecting!

Liao Yunchuan is currently in the study room of his mansion. He has just finished handling the pile of old official duties and has a pile of new ones at hand.

He had been watching all day. He raised his hand to rub his sore eyes, took a sip of tea and rested for a while.

At this time, someone came in and reported to him what was going on in the capital today.Hearing Jiang Lianzhu tricking Xiao Xiyan into buying an ordinary jade with 100 taels of silver for [-] tael of silver, Liao Yunchuan couldn't help but was stunned, and the corners of his mouth curled up in pleasure.

The expression on his face was still calm, but he felt a little relaxed.
