Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Shen Zhilan held the food box in her hand and mustered up the courage to stand in front of the study door.

Speaking of which, she and her cousin Xie Zhao had not seen each other for a long time, a whole life apart.

Yes, Shen Zhilan was reborn.

In her previous life, because of her beauty, she was jealous of her concubine and fell into the water. She lost her reputation and had no choice but to marry into a merchant family.

The husband looks honest, but is actually an alcoholic.

Every time she got drunk, Shen Zhilan would be whipped, and then she would kowtow to admit her mistake when she sobered up.

Shen Zhilan went back to her parents' home to complain. She thought her parents would make the decision for her and support her divorce, but unexpectedly, her parents only told her to endure it.

The Shen family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the daughters they marry off are like water being thrown away.

If you can't make it through, the only way out is to stay with the Ancient Buddha of Green Lantern.

Shen Zhilan was pregnant, but her husband did not change anything because of her big belly, which eventually led to her having multiple miscarriages and making it difficult for her to have children.

By the time she was in her early thirties, Shen Zhilan had become as thin as a handful of bones, and her oil was exhausted.

When he was dying, he heard that his cousin Xie Zhao was already the emperor's master, full of splendor.

On his way to the morning, Shen Zhilan met his cousin from a distance.

Xie Zhao was weathered, his eyes were sharp, and he was full of the nobility of a superior person.

But Shen Zhilan could only hide in the distance and watch silently.

He is a powerful official of the Qi Dynasty who is under one person and outnumbers ten thousand people, while Shen Zhilan is an old and yellow-faced woman with no heirs. There is a huge difference.

I thought I would be such a loser for the rest of my life, but when I opened my eyes again, Shen Zhilan traveled through time before she fell into the water.

With the memories of her previous life, she will certainly not be so cowardly in this life.

After Shen Zhilan was reborn, the first thing she did was to take care of her concubine.

She managed the trick without any effort, so the person who fell into the water was replaced by a vicious concubine.

Now, my concubine has made a marriage arrangement with the scumbag she met in her previous life.

After completing this matter, Shen Zhilan, as a prophet, bought several smart maids and persuaded her parents to come to the capital to visit relatives.

"Cousin, I saw the oil lamp was on in the study. You haven't rested yet, have you?"

Shen Zhilan was holding the food box, her palms sweaty.

In the previous life, Jiang Yuzhu stole someone and contracted a heart disease and died early. Xie Zhao never married.

Even if the Xie family tried their best to send a beautiful Tongfang, Xie Zhao would not even look at it.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhilan only lived until she was in her thirties. She didn't know whether her cousin would get married or if he would have a woman he liked.

However, there are rumors that cousin Xie Zhao has Bai Yueguang, who is Wei Jing, the daughter of his mentor who is kind and talented.

Xie Zhao opened the door and saw Shen Zhilan standing by the door. He said in surprise: "No, is there something wrong with my cousin?"

The moon is at its zenith, it's too late.

Even in the house, it is not appropriate for a man and a woman to live together.

Shen Zhilan's face turned red, she shook the food box in her hand and said, "I couldn't sleep, so I was making snacks in the kitchen, thinking that if my cousin didn't take a break, he would have to put some food on his stomach."

She had just arrived at the house, was she too impatient?

Shen Zhilan was worried that being too attentive made Xie Zhao defensive, and she had not paid attention to cannon fodder Jiang Yuzhu.

Unless Jiang Yuzhu, like her, has a chance to be reborn.

Tonight, Jiang Yuzhu ran to a private meeting, indicating that the trajectory has not changed in any way.

Anyway, I had a private meeting with Feng Qing, who had a heart disease, and he was not far away from dying early.

Xie Zhao took it and did not let Shen Zhilan enter the study, but nodded his thanks.

Finally, he added: "My wife is in charge of everything in the back and back of the house. My cousin is here to stay for a while. According to the rules, I still have to meet my wife."

Shen Zhilan came to visit relatives and stayed at Xie's house. Xie Zhao originally wanted to inform Jiang Yuzhu, but Jiang Yuzhu was too lazy to see him.

In this case, it is better to leave it to Shen Zhilan to speak for herself.

After finishing speaking, Xie Zhao nodded towards Shen Zhilan and had no intention of continuing the conversation.

"Cousin, I know all etiquette."

Shen Zhilan sounded the alarm for herself and immediately reflected on whether she had acted too hastily.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't mind her coming into the house without saying hello, but the Jiang family was quite difficult to deal with.

Especially the two brothers Jiang Huaida and Jiang Huaiqing, who are doting on their sisters but are also fools, so there is no chance that they will be scolded.

The Jiang family dude doesn’t want fame, but she wants face!

Shen Zhilan decided to go back to the yard first and slowly think of countermeasures.

The next day, Jiang Yuzhu slept until three o'clock in the morning.

It feels good to be the master of the house, and no one will disturb her from sleeping in.

Hearing that Xie Zhao had come last night, Jiang Yuzhu asked in a pretentious manner: "Where is the master?"

"Go back to Madam, the master is at the Yamen."

Manager Xie responded respectfully and sent an account book.

The high-ranking families in the capital either have business or fertile land in their hands, otherwise their salary would not be enough for daily human relations.

These businesses used to be handled by Jiang Yuzhu.

However, the original owner was rich and did not care about Xie Zhao's property.

"Thank you, steward. Can the kitchen prepare some of Master's favorite snacks today? If so, please send someone to deliver one."

After getting the account book and scanning the numbers, Jiang Yuzhu was very satisfied.

She was satisfied and did not hesitate to be nice to Xie Zhao, since it was not her money that was spent.

The original owner was stupid. He still spent dowry after getting married. The Xie family had a great business and it was not like they had no money.

Marry a Han, marry a Han, dress and eat.

Why should you spend your private life to marry Xie Zhao?That's disrespectful to Xie Zhao!

"Thank you, Steward, how much money is left in the mansion's accounts?"

Jiang Yuzhu made up her mind not to let Xie Zhao be called a freeloader because she would spend the male protagonist's money.

"As far as I can tell you, madam, there are about 1000 taels in the book, and the rest are kept at Wantong Bank."

Manager Xie didn't dare to deceive Jiang Yuzhu, and there was curiosity in his eyes. Everyone knew that the Jiang family was rich, so why was Madam interested in the accounts of the house?

Abnormal, very abnormal.

Jiang Yuzhu thought about it and realized that 1000 taels was a bit small. It was only enough to buy a set of good-looking headscarves.

That's all, she didn't dislike it and reluctantly accepted it.

"In the past two days, I have been thinking about my parents a lot. I plan to go back to Jiang Mansion for a short stay. If I go back to my parents' house, I must bring some small gifts."

A cousin came to the Xie Mansion. I love so-and-so.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't care. Cats and dogs had nothing to do with her.

Manager Xie twitched the corner of his mouth and reluctantly responded: "Yes, madam."

Jiang Yuzhu has been married to her master for three years and has lived in her natal family for most of that time.

Those who didn't know, thought she was divorced.

Although there are constant rumors in the capital, Jiang Yuzhu has never been affected and is really thick-skinned.

The same goes for the Jiang family, they are all in the same boat.

After sending away the worried Manager Xie, Jiang Yuzhu was thinking about choosing gifts for his family. Hong Li opened the curtain and came in to report: "Madam, my cousin is here to visit you."

Shen Zhilan took the initiative to come to the door and was not nervous at all when facing Jiang Yuzhu.

He is just a idiot who died early. What Shen Zhilan cares about is Wei Jing, the daughter of Xie Zhao's mentor.

It is said that the Wei family intended to betroth Wei Jing to Xie Zhao, but the emperor was the first to marry him and beat the couple.

Shen Zhilan had not heard about the secret relationship between her cousin and Wei Jing, but he and Jiang Yuzhu respected each other like ice, and the two of them wished they could never see each other again, which aroused Shen Zhilan's suspicion.

Rumors may not be groundless.

"Cousin-in-law, you came unexpectedly to disturb me."

Shen Zhilan said something about the scene and gave out a box of homemade snacks.

Jiang Yuzhu sat in the main seat and looked at Xie Zhao's cousin without leaving any trace.

She has a pretty appearance, a bookish air all over her body, and a hint of fragility that arouses a man's desire for protection. He is indeed worthy of being a green tea.

Whether it's white lotus or green tea, she, Jiang Yuzhu, is not used to it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "It's indeed annoying."
