Thus, there was a new woman named Wu in Prime Minister Xiao’s mansion.

Mrs. Wu was quite a capable person. Not only did she move into the Xiao Mansion quietly, but she also quickly seized all the power held by Aunt Qin and Aunt Wan.

There was also a major reshuffle in the personnel changes in the government office.

The people she brought in naturally got good jobs, and those old employees who had adapted to the changing circumstances also received her favor and were assigned good jobs.

Those who are disobedient, follow behind Aunt Qin and Aunt Wan, and are ignorant will either be expelled from the Prime Minister's Mansion or be assigned dirty and menial jobs.

Although Concubine Qin and Concubine Wan were extremely reluctant, they had no choice. The arm cannot twist the thigh.

As long as the prime minister rolled his eyes or stamped his feet, the two of them would surrender.

Moreover, ever since this Wu came into being, the master would run there whenever he came back. It has been quite a while, and it still feels like it is not enough.

I completely forgot that there are two young concubines in this mansion.

What can the two concubines do?

The Prime Minister's Mansion was peaceful and calm because of Wu's presence.

Who is the prime minister? He is the one who helps the emperor. How can he not handle such trivial matters at home? That is impossible.

However, Aunt Qin and Aunt Wan were unwilling to give in and were secretly observing Wu.

At first, I felt that I should help the master to guard this level, and this is the truth.

But after observing her for a long time, I find that I always tend to pull her towards one person.

Was it because he had a deep impression of that person? Or did the master just like people like her? Here he found another one.

It's okay anyway, so just keep an eye on her.

The master was really going too far, even asking them to pay their respects to Wu, who had not yet been married, every day.

That day, the two of them reluctantly came to Wu's residence, the courtyard where Su used to live. It was naturally grand and luxurious.

Ever since Su disappeared, this place has been empty.

Wu had taken a liking to this place when he first arrived. After some renovation, it became more magnificent than before.

Xiangcao was serving Mrs. Wu and pinning a flower hairpin on her already combed hair.

After seeing the two of them, Wu stood up and went to the main room and said, "Sister, you came very early today. Please sit down."

Vanilla followed out with the jewelry box and started picking and choosing things in the box.

He then took out an exquisite, well-crafted carved jade hairpin, tried it on Wu's head, and replaced the hairpin he had just inserted.

Mrs. Wu looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said to Xiangcao with satisfaction, "I still like this hairpin best.

That’s right, you’ve been with me for so many years, I guess you have feelings for me.”

Aunt Qin and Aunt Wan were puzzled when Xiangcao took out the hairpin.

They clearly remembered that this was Su's favorite hairpin. And it was that hairpin at first glance.

I remember that when the prime minister gave it to Su, he said in front of his family that there was only one in Chang'an City, and it was the only one made by the craftsman he found.

They both looked at each other at the same time, and the sentence 'You've been with me for so many years...' made them feel something.

Then the two of them looked at the face at the same time. No matter how they looked left or right, they found that it was completely different from the face they had imagined.

On the way back, the two started chatting.

Aunt Wan was confused and asked, "What's going on? That's clearly Su's hairpin, how come it has been with her for so many years?"

Aunt Qin used her hands to push away the branches that were blocking her, and she also felt something was wrong.

She said, “Yes, I remember that hairpin most clearly.

I liked it very much at that time and pestered the master to make one for me. Later, the master had no choice but to go find the craftsman again.

She came back and said that the ruby ​​inlaid in the hairpin was gone, and asked me if I wanted to replace it with a gem of another color.

Because I thought the ruby ​​would look good on black hair, so I didn’t want it.

It’s this hairpin today, there’s no mistake about it.”

"Could it be that Su left it behind and didn't take it away?" Aunt Wan said.

"Whether she took him away or not, he wouldn't have been with her for so many years."

After returning to the side room, Aunt Qin sent a servant to call Miss Xiaohong, who was the spy they left by Wu's side.

Aunt Qin asked her, "After all these days, have you noticed anything wrong?"

Xiao Hong shook her head and said, "Nothing. Wu Shi takes care of the affairs of the mansion every day. She doesn't meet anyone and doesn't leave the mansion."

Aunt Qin pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, just continue to observe and see if she meets anyone.

Also, it would be best if I could hear what she said to the master."

In Mrs. Wu's room.

Wu took the hairpin off her head and looked at the ruby ​​on it.

He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "These two bitches, if you don't show them some light, they don't know how much they are worth.

They always want to fight me, without even looking at who I am. Do they really think they can be the head of the Xiao family?"

Xiangcao brought Wu a bowl of freshly cooked red date and lotus seed soup.

He placed it on the small table and said, "Madam, I wonder if they recognized this hairpin."

Wu sneered, "Humph! How could they not recognize you? Look at them, they were speechless when they saw you put this hairpin in my hand.

If I don’t let them see how powerful I am, they will really think I’m a sick cat.”

Vanilla said a little worriedly: "What if they find out it's you and tell the princess?

We finally got back. It would be a waste if we exposed you in order to subdue them."

Mrs. Wu sipped the red date and lotus seed soup with her lips raised higher.

She opened her thin lips and said, "I'm not afraid of that lousy princess. She made me unable to return home. I want to return to my own home, and I have to rely on disguise. Fortunately, the master still loves me."

As she spoke, she put down the bowl in her hand and narrowed her watery eyes.

She said, "I have to come back this time. The Crown Prince is choosing a concubine. If I miss this opportunity, my Yue Wan will have no chance.

Our Xiao family has no chance of turning things around and will be bullied by that princess for the rest of our lives.

I will never be able to return to the Prime Minister in my entire life.

And my younger brother, our whole family is bullied by her.

It’s all my fault for marrying her to Zi Sangyu. What an ungrateful person.

It would be better to let her stay on the farm forever.

As soon as I got married, I turned the tables and demanded so much of my property, and even wanted my life. What a delusion. "

"Then how are we going to deal with Aunt Qin and Aunt Wan?"

Wu wiped the soup on her lips with a silk scarf and said, "I have to ask these two clowns to behave themselves. Otherwise, they keep swaying in front of me and making me upset.

Just let them think about this hairpin, it will be enough to keep them busy without using any big moves."

"I'm just afraid."

"Don't be afraid, they can't cause any big trouble. I have the leverage over them. What are you afraid of?
