I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

This color combination itself is not a big problem, but the style of the clothes plus her appearance suddenly caused a big problem.

The moment Liu Zhirou saw her, she recalled that her second sister was named Liu Zhijing, and although her name contained the word "Jing", she was not a particularly contented person.

Every time there is a party, no matter who organizes it, I have to rush over to attend it. I always hope to be like the heroine in the storybook and meet a handsome, elegant and prestigious man at these parties.

But what's worse is that she is not particularly pretty and has no talent, but she tries her best to dress up like a cute girl in the hope of attracting attention. As a result, she has become a laughing stock in many families in the capital.

In fact, this also shows that Zhao, the mistress of the house, is incompetent. After discovering that Liu Zhijing had become a laughing stock, Zhao not only did not stop it, but was happy to see it happen and often took her to parties everywhere.

If Zhao had been a little smarter, she would never have let Liu Zhijing walk around out there and ruin her reputation.

After all, in the current social environment, this would not only ruin her reputation, but also the reputation of all the daughters of the Liu family.

Liu Zhirou forced herself to collect her scattered thoughts and gently asked the woman in front of her: "Second sister, what do you want to see me for?"

"Sister, you have always been the most gentle and kind. The madam misunderstood my aunt and ordered the servants to beat her to death! Can you go and explain it to the madam, please?" Liu Zhijing's eyes were blurred with tears and her makeup was smudged by her tears.

Liu Zhirou originally didn't want to care about this inexplicable matter, but she was really afraid that her confused mother would do something shocking again. In addition, it was not good to go against the original owner's personality, so she had to force herself to go with Liu Zhijing despite her uncomfortable body.

But Liu Zhirou did not have no plans at all.

"Chuntao, don't go with me this time. My throat has been feeling very dry recently. You can look after the small kitchen for me and ask them to make some candied pear soup for me to drink when I come back. Let Qiuju go with me this time." Liu Zhirou said casually. Chuntao nodded without any doubt and called Qiuju in.

Qiu Ju was tall, with dark skin and a tough look. She swiftly put a coat on Liu Zhirou and then helped her out.

"Second sister, I'm still not feeling well and I walk slowly. You go over and persuade Madam first. If Madam blames me, I won't let you bear the responsibility." Liu Zhirou said soothingly.

Liu Zhijing still looked a little worried, and she obviously wanted to say something else, but after all, she was intimidated by Liu Zhirou's usual majesty, so she didn't dare to go any further.

Liu Zhirou was in no mood to comfort her.

Although the Liu family can be considered a wealthy family with countless properties under their name, they are ultimately just a merchant family.

In this capital city where every inch of land is valuable, if you want to own a big house, you need not only money but also power.

So although the Liu family's villa covers a large area, it is not so large that it is unimaginable.

Liu Zhirou walked slowly for about an incense stick of time, and she could already hear her mother's yelling and scolding in the distance.

"You are such a black-hearted person! I usually tolerate you so much, but you think that the three of us, mother and daughter, are easy to bully. You even dared to murder my Rou'er!"

"Madam, I dare not, I dare not! Moreover, I have watched the Third Miss grow up, how could I not feel sorry for her, how could I murder her at this time?"

The pain may be fake, but the fear of making plans at this time is real. After all, Liu Zhirou is now a famous concubine in the royal family. If something really happens at home, it will not only be a matter of house fighting. If it goes wrong, the whole Liu family will be wiped out.

It's possible that Zhao was unaware of this matter, but she just wanted to take advantage of it to eliminate this long-time enemy.

Liu Zhirou listened to the two people's voices and slowly remembered the matter of Aunt Bai.

After her mother Zhao married into the Liu family, she had no son for a long time, and she was not very good to Liu Zhen, the son left by the previous wife.

The old lady was afraid that Zhao would free up her hands and target Liu Zhen, the daughter of her deceased wife, so she used the excuse of being childless to kill Zhao.

She took a good concubine for her father, and this concubine was Aunt Bai who was being scolded by Zhao.

Liu Zhirou took two quick steps and entered the yard.

"Zhirou greets the Madam."

"Oh, my Rou'er, why are you here? Go back and rest, don't get too tired." Zhao's expression suddenly changed, and she said to Liu Zhirou with concern.

Liu Zhirou still looked businesslike, "Am I disturbing you, Madam? But I really have something important to tell you."

Zhao glanced at Aunt Bai who was kneeling below, and casually ordered: "Kneel here and reflect on your mistakes first. If there is anything, tell us everything, and you can avoid some physical pain!"

Zhao pulled Liu Zhirou into the house.

Liu Zhirou did not find her second sister Liu Zhijing here, but she was not surprised.

Liu Zhijing is the concubine's daughter of the Liu family. Whether her marriage is good or bad depends entirely on Zhao's decision.

She might be able to rush to her own yard to ask Liu Zhirou for help, but she would never dare to contradict her wife for her aunt.

"Although Aunt Bai is a concubine, she was brought in officially and her family is in charge. If you target her at this critical moment and the news gets out, it will be bad for my daughter."

Liu Zhirou didn't say anything too polite. She said directly: "My daughter is just a little concubine now, and according to my daughter's family, she is also at the bottom of the list. Whether she can enter the palace is another matter. Whether she can meet the emperor after entering the palace is another matter. These things are not decided yet. I have to ask mother to be patient for a while."

"I understand this, but she went a little too far..." Zhao quickly explained.

"I think these things may not have much to do with Auntie. After all, Auntie is also a member of the Liu family. If the family falls, she will not end up well anyway. Those who use such means are more likely to be outsiders. Mother must make good arrangements during this period of time and never let others take advantage of this opportunity."

Zhao immediately agreed and comforted Liu Zhirou not to worry.

But Liu Zhirou fell into a state of emptiness.

She suddenly saw that the energy bar she brought with her rose sharply.

Although this portion is very small and almost insignificant compared to the entire amount of the energy bar, it also gave Liu Zhirou a new hope.
