I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

After leaving her grandmother's Cishuiju, Gao Shu jumped into the flower garden angrily and trampled all the colorful flowers to vent her depression.

"Too much, too much, grandma doesn't love me at all!"

After destroying an entire flower garden, Gao Shu's anger was slightly relieved.

At this time, she began to worry about the scars on her face. What should she do without the Snow Skin Cream? She couldn't marry into the Shen family with a scarred face, could she?

Everyone knows that no man will be obsessed with a scarred woman for a long time, and problems will arise sooner or later.

"Snow Skin Cream, Snow Skin Cream. Fu Yuzheng won't give it to me, and my grandmother doesn't have it anymore. Where can I find it?"

Suddenly I thought of Queen Gao. As the queen mother, she must have some snowy skin cream in her hands!

"Yes, yes, there must be!"

Seeing new hope, Gao Shu swept away her previous anxiety and took the carriage into the palace again.

In front of Empress Gao, Gao Shu lifted the veil from her face, revealing a mottled face.

The big scarred face frightened Empress Gao so much that she almost screamed.

After taking several deep breaths, he managed to recover and asked hurriedly, "Shu'er, tell me the truth, has Shen Yixiao ever seen your face... covered with scars?"

Gao Shu bit her lip and said honestly, "I have seen it."

Queen Gao felt dizzy. She knew men too well. Once she met him, it would be impossible for him to treat Gao Shu well again in his life.

Even if this face heals in the future, it will leave a psychological shadow.

Seeing that her aunt Queen looked unhappy, Gao Shu immediately knelt at Queen Gao's feet and cried:

"Aunt Queen, please be kind and save my niece's face. It's easy to save. All you need is a bottle of the Imperial Snow Skin Cream."

Snow skin cream?

That is a miraculous medicine bestowed by the emperor. The total output is only about ten cans a year. It is extremely precious and people would not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

With Empress Gao's current status, I'm afraid Emperor Jingde would not even bother to give her any more.

How precious is that?

But Gao Shu's face really needed to be solved urgently. She had finally settled the marriage, and she couldn't marry a woman with a disfigured face, otherwise she would be completely hostile to him.

There was no other way, so Empress Gao nodded and asked the head maid to fetch a bottle, and instructed:

"Apply it three times a day. If nothing goes wrong, the scars will fade away in about ten days, and your skin will be white again."

Gao Shu was so happy when she got the Snow Skin Cream that she immediately smiled and said:

"Thank you, Aunt Queen. You love me the most."

"Don't worry, aunt. When I marry into the Shen family, I will convince them to support my cousin the Crown Prince! I, Gao Shu, will be a strong helper to my cousin the Crown Prince!"

Well, this sounds too confident. Perhaps Gao Shu is the only one who firmly believes this.

Queen Gao obviously didn't believe it.

However, Empress Gao had not heard such heartwarming words for a long time. Occasionally, she felt warm in her heart when she heard them. She bent down, held Gao Shu's face with both hands, and said with a smile:

"Okay, Aunt Queen, wait for my Shu'er to take charge of the Shen family and report back to the Crown Prince."

Take charge of the Shen family?

Such words of blessing naturally touched Gao Shu's heart. Gao Shu loved hearing them and her face was all smiles.

I'm in a very good mood.

However, Gao Shu's good mood disappeared soon after she got on the carriage leaving the palace.

what happened?

It turned out that after getting on the carriage, Gao Shu couldn't help but take out the snow skin cream from her arms and applied it immediately.

As a result, when I unscrewed the white jade jar, I found that only a small half jar was left?

"What? This can isn't brand new, but the leftover from my aunt's use?"

“The rest!”

Gao Shu was a germaphobe, and her eyebrows immediately raised and she became extremely angry.

At this moment, how could she care about the kindness of Queen Gao? She cursed indignantly:

"I just don't believe that there is not a brand new can in the entire Fengzao Palace. It's obvious that they are deliberately bullying me!"

"Bah, that's it, you still expect me to lead the Shen family to support the prince in the future? Dream on!"

If she is not treated well, can she still support the prince unconditionally?

She's not stupid!

At this moment, Gao Shu's mind flashed with the image of herself wearing gorgeous clothes and sitting in the hall of the Shen family as the "mistress of the house".

In Gao Shu's beautiful fantasy, she would be like Fu Yuzheng and Fu Yusu, who would become the mistress of the house as soon as she got married, holding great power in the Shen family and being able to call the shots.

Support whichever prince you want, just support whichever prince you want, it all depends on which prince flatters her the most and treats her the best!

Hong You, the maid sitting in the carriage with him, was so frightened by these nonsense that her heart was pounding. She quickly opened the curtains and looked out. Fortunately, there was no one in the corridor at that time.

Otherwise, if such treasonous words were heard by Empress Gao's people, her daughter...would probably not be able to get married.

~

Early morning two days later.

Gao Ni got up early and went to court, while Fu Yuzheng slept until noon. She woke up slowly when the warm winter sun climbed onto her bed.

"Madam, you are finally awake. This is a letter from the Mu Mansion that was sent early in the morning." Qiaomei, the head maid, held a letter in both hands.

Fu Yuzheng smiled and sat up: "Could it be that my sister wrote this?"

As a result, when I took it and looked at the envelope, I saw the vigorous and flamboyant handwriting... I knew it was not from my sister at first glance.

Could it be written by my brother-in-law?

I opened the envelope, took out the letter and took a look. The signature on it was indeed - Mu Shaoheng.

Fu Yuzheng quickly glanced at the contents of the letter and couldn't help laughing: "My brother-in-law's work really reassures me. This is a very good move."

Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, another maid, Nong Yue, hurried into the bedroom and reported: "Madam, the eldest young lady is here."

Gao Shu is here?

Fu Yuzheng frowned slightly: "What is she doing here?" This was the first time Gao Shu came here since Fu Yuzheng got married.

Nong Yue pursed her lips and said, "It seems like you are here to show off."

"Show off?" Fu Yuzheng smiled. "Well, let her go into the main hall and wait. I want to see what else she can show off today."

After half an hour, Fu Yuzheng finally finished dressing up and moved into the main room.

As soon as I entered the main room, I found Gao Shu standing gracefully next to the potted plant by the window, holding a flower in her hand... and sniffing it in an elegant manner.

"Gao Shu, is there something that brings you here today?" Fu Yuzheng sat down gracefully in the main seat, looking at Gao Shu's back and asked.

Hearing this, Gao Shu slowly turned around and smiled.

This time, no veil.

Seeing her face, Fu Yuzheng was slightly stunned.

"Fu Yuzheng, you never imagined that even if you refused to lend me the Snow Skin Cream, I could still get a bottle. I've only applied it seven times, and the scar has faded by almost half."

Gao Shu touched her face proudly, her eyes full of boasting and showing off.

Fu Yuzheng rolled her eyes speechlessly.

After a pause, he simply smiled faintly:

"Then congratulations. Also, my brother-in-law has sent me a letter saying that he will come to propose marriage after noon. If you are willing, I can allow you to take mother out of the ancestral hall and let her watch the ceremony together, so that she can experience the special...happy day that belongs to you alone."

Come to propose marriage this afternoon?

Can she also invite her mother to come out and watch the ceremony?

Hearing this, Gao Shu was overjoyed and immediately ran to the ancestral hall excitedly.

"Mom, mom, great news! My daughter is going to marry into the Shen family and become Mrs. Shen! They will come over to propose marriage this afternoon!"

It is said that the last time Fu Yuzheng dreamed of her previous life, she was so excited that she cried, made a fuss and fainted. Gao Ni kicked the door of the ancestral hall and smashed all the windows. He ordered all the doors and windows to be opened, intending to freeze the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Lin, to death.

Although Lin was lucky, he managed to survive.

But Lin was indeed freezing badly. His hands, feet, and even face were covered with huge chilblains, and his entire head was swollen like a red pig's head.

At this moment, Lin was huddled under the incense table like a shameful rat.

Hearing her daughter's announcement, Lin slowly lifted the tablecloth hanging from the incense table, poked out her frostbitten head very slowly, and asked in a weak voice:

"Shu'er, the Shen family, is that the Southwest Shen family, the Shen Yixiao family you mentioned before?"

Gao Shu said with an arrogant look:

"Of course, my daughter is going to marry Shen Yixiao as her principal wife, and she is here today to propose marriage. For this, you have been granted amnesty and can leave the ancestral hall to watch the ceremony with my daughter."

Lin smiled: "Shu'er is really capable, she really deserves to be my good daughter."

After so many days, Gao Shu finally received positive affirmation and praise. She was so excited that she walked to the incense table and squatted down, hugged Lin's arm and said:

"Mother, just wait and see your daughter be proud of herself. Her good days are still to come!"

"Let's go. It's spring now. There's plenty of sunshine outside. Your daughter will help you go out to bask in the sun and keep you warm... In a little while, the Mu Mansion will come to propose..."

Gao Shu was in a good mood indeed. She, who always loved beauty, did not dislike Lin, whose head was swollen like a pig, nor did she dislike Lin, who had not taken a bath for a long time and smelled moldy.

The mother and daughter walked step by step to the garden bench, sat down and sunbathed.

It takes an hour to dry in the sun.

Until Fu Yuzheng sent a maid to announce the good news: "The Mu family has come to propose marriage, they have proposed marriage!"

The mother and daughter moved up to the room with joy in their eyes.

At this time, Fu Yuzheng sat on the main seat as the mistress of the house, ready to welcome the people from the Mu Mansion who came to propose marriage.

Not only the servants in the upper room, but also all the important maids and servants in the Zhenguo Mansion, as well as those from the second and third rooms, were called by Fu Yuzheng to watch.

So much so that the corridor of the upper house, the courtyard, and the gate were packed with people.

When Gao Shu and her daughter arrived, they saw this grand occasion, and they smiled so hard that their teeth were showing.

At this time, Yu Zongguan shouted loudly outside the crowd: "The Mu Mansion's Zongguan is here to propose marriage, please clear the way."

The chief steward of the Mu Mansion proposes marriage?

Hearing this, Gao Shu and her daughter were stunned.

According to the customs of the capital, on the day of the engagement, the man's family would hire a respected person to come to the woman's family to propose? Why did the Mu Mansion only send a housekeeper?

Lady Lin, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, consoled herself by saying, "Perhaps the housekeeper came with the betrothal guest."

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, the steward of the Mu Mansion came striding over alone... leading "three" servants carrying loads.

There was no one else behind the four of them.

Four lonely people, four pitifully few people.

Even though Lin looked eagerly, she never saw any extra people coming!

At this time, the steward of the Mu Mansion came to Fu Yuzheng and bowed respectfully:

"Greetings, Madam Gao. I am here today on behalf of the Southwest Shen family to propose marriage to your eldest daughter. Here is the gift list. I hope Madam Gao will take a look at it."

Fu Yuzheng took it and looked at it, and almost burst out laughing.

Other betrothal gift lists had at least seven or eight pages, and Fu Yuzheng and Fu Yushu's gift lists were hundreds of pages long. But Gao Shu's was only a thin page?

Not filled yet?

Fu Yuzheng smiled at the Mu Mansion's housekeeper and said, "Okay, whether there is a betrothal gift or not is just a formality. As long as the Shen family is sincere, it's fine. Let's get started."

Then, the steward of the Mu Mansion began to read the gift list loudly:

"A pair of wild geese, a jade comb, a piece of Suzhou embroidery, a pair of embroidered shoes, a pair of socks, and a pair of insoles. The ceremony is over."

what?

These are just a few betrothal gifts, and it’s over?

In total, there are only six items!

They are all worthless stuff!

Gao Shu and her daughter were completely stunned and almost popped their eyes out.

The slaves watching almost burst out laughing:

"This, this is also called a betrothal gift? Only six items? Even more shabby than the country girls in my hometown in the countryside. They can at least get more than a dozen betrothal gifts."

"Don't say that. Maybe in the eyes of the Southwest Shen family, our eldest daughter is not as good as a clean country girl."

"That's possible..."

Hearing these insults, Gao Shu yelled in anger:

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be inferior to a village girl? The Mu Mansion must have made a mistake, a mistake, and brought the betrothal gifts for the servants to me!"

Unexpectedly, at this time, the steward of the Mu Mansion responded loudly: "Miss Gao, I can testify that I did not raise the price wrong. Our prince said that Miss Gao is only worth this price!"

Upon hearing this, Lin's body, which had suffered from frostbite, could no longer hold on. His eyes went dark and he fell stiffly to the ground.
