An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

Although sex is pleasurable, it is easy to catch a cold if you are not careful.

The old man in the Shifei Hall has not recovered yet, and the second young lady in the Wuyuan caught a cold again on New Year's Day.

Fortunately, Madam Zhaoyu was feeling better, and she was able to resume her housework.

At the beginning of the new year, although the epidemic had not subsided in all parts of the city, the infected people in the marquis' mansion had been cleared out. Therefore, the owners of the various houses who had been trapped for two or three months dared to come out and move around a little.

The monarch of the country ruled the world with filial piety, so the first thing everyone did when they left the house was to go to the Hall of Right and Wrong. It happened that the second young master's wife, Sang Ling, fell ill, so Nie Ce entered the palace early in the morning again. The aunts who came to pay their respects asked Madam Zhaoyu about the situation.

The eldest lady replied gently, "My wife has always been in good health, but she worked too hard last year and caught a cold. However, the doctor said it was a minor illness and she didn't need to take too much medicine. The main thing is to rest."

"Why doesn't he ask us for help? This kid is too honest. Is he going to take care of everything by himself?" Shen followed up with her sister-in-law's words.

Zhang lowered her eyes and smiled, then silently paid attention to Nie Guang's expression opposite her.

"At times like this, it's best for everyone to stay at home." Madam Zhaoyu had a clear face and bright eyes under her willow-shaped eyebrows. She glanced at the people in the room and said slowly, "A housewife has to come into contact with outsiders every day. How can she know if anyone is infected with the disease?"

"Fortunately, this child is capable of taking on tasks, so he managed the household so well, even though it was a bit laborious and stressful." These words were said to Grandpa Nie.

When the epidemic was at its worst at the end of the year, everyone saw how the daughter of the Sang family took care of the housework. Shen smiled lightly and glanced at Cai opposite her.

This time, the third wife was finally able to catch the hint from the second sister-in-law's eyes.

Originally, she was not willing to confront the Sang family girl all the time. They were all living in the East Palace, and as long as they lived peacefully, she could ignore the past. But that day, the second sister-in-law came to talk and mentioned the incident of the Sang family girl mocking Ah-Yu last year. The second sister-in-law said, "People who looked down on her before will only look down on her even more in the future." When she heard it, she realized that this was the truth. If the power of the family was handed over to this person in the future, and she was gone, leaving Ah-Yu alone, who knew how she would deal with her?

Then, no one can be the head of the household except the daughter of the Sang family.

"I heard that Xuanwen's wife gave away the medicine at the end of the year?" The third lady said teasingly, "She is really a selfless person. This old medicine prescription is carefully stored by people in the capital. If it is given away at this time, what if someone in our house neglects it?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhaoyu glanced at Cai first, then at Shen, and was about to open her mouth to fight back, but then she heard Zhang say, "Butler A Ling is a good manager. Have you seen A Ling ever made any mistakes? It is precisely because he is a good manager that we can send the medicine out without any worries."

Such a person who doesn't want to offend anyone, can actually say such words at this critical moment - how can Madam Zhaoyu not taste the wit in Zhang's words? After a short silence, she turned to Grandpa Nie first, "My wife told me about it. It was the eldest son of the Gao family who came to ask for medicine. They are cousins, and this old prescription was prescribed by the eldest son of the Gao family, so my wife told me about it at the time, and I agreed."

Even if the medicine was given out, it depends on who it was given to. Gao Heng alone might not be able to stop the gossips?

"Wasn't the eldest sister-in-law ill at the time?" Shen sneered in confusion, "I heard that Xuanwen's wife made many decisions on her own. How come this matter came to the eldest sister-in-law's room?"

How did Shen know about this later event while she was in the West Mansion? Madam Zhaoyu turned her head and looked back. Although the corners of her mouth were still slightly raised, the coldness in her eyes was obvious. "I always worry that her little girl is young and can't make up her mind about many things. Many things need to be known to me."

"The sister-in-law has worked so hard. She must suffer from this disease." After saying this, Shen secretly glanced at the people around her.

Although Su acted timid, she immediately took over, "Aunt, I heard from outsiders that people who are infected with this disease can sleep for a long time and have no energy. You look fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell silent. A war without gunpowder gradually began. It was hard to say whether Madam Zhaoyu was lying. After all, she was sick and had contracted an epidemic. How could she call people over to report at any time?

But no matter what, the Sang family girl couldn't get any credit for this. Although she did not make any mistakes in the housework, she still left some room for error when it came to delivering the medicine.

There is still an octogenarian at home, and the mansion is not completely closed. If something goes wrong, the servants will get sick and there is no cure. Then the matter is reported to the court. Who will be held responsible?

Nie Taigong was not unaware of the conflict between the two families. The man who sat in the position of the head of the family looked at the people in the room arguing with each other as if they were watching children playing house.

For such a matter, he weighed the pros and cons of the Sang family's daughter - in the final analysis, it was still a conflict between the eldest and second daughters-in-law. But he also had a scale in his heart. After all, the eldest wife got too much: Xuanwen's official career, Wu Xiulian's power to run the family, and last year, the marriage of Shen's niece was arranged - so it was reasonable for Shen to be resentful.

As long as the trouble is not too severe, he can turn a blind eye.

He twisted his beard and muttered for a while, "This is the first time that my second grandson's wife is in charge of the family. It's inevitable that she is not capable enough. There will be a lot of housework during this period." He narrowed his eyes, leaned against Madam Zhaoyu and said, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so ask my second daughter-in-law to help take care of the family first. There is no need to bother with the whole family."

Trouble? Madam Zhaoyu couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Are they afraid of trouble, or are they looking forward to it? Even though she had a vague premonition: with this disturbance today, Sang Ling's two months of hard work would be in vain. She was also prepared to suffer some minor grievances, after all, the priority at the moment was to catch the traitor - but she really didn't expect that the old man would directly let her give up her power?

"Yes, my nephew's wife is ill, so I should be careful." Shen was very proud. She had originally intended to suppress the Sang family girl who was the head of the family, but she didn't expect such a big happy event to happen suddenly - how could she not be happy?

But before you know it, the joy you show goes too far.

Just a little sweet treat is enough. If the fuss is too blatant, the harmony of the family will be lost. Grandpa Nie helped the boy's hand to stand up and couldn't help but stare at Shen again.

The second wife was still in high spirits, but when she saw this gaze, she felt a chill on her back. She pursed her lips and then bowed again.

The old man walked slowly back to the back room, and everyone stood up from their felt mats. The smile that Madam Zhaoyu always had on her face was gone.

Although Shen was still happy in her heart, she was still a little scared when she thought of the look in Taigong's eyes just now, so she quickened her pace to escape.

Since she is going to be the head of the family, she has to prepare early. It would be best if she could go to Yunyuexie to take over today.
