The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

"You have good taste." Aunt Cui laughed.

Seeing this, Jiang Muxia acted flatteringly, pointing at a butterfly tassel hairpin and said, "Look, Madam, the butterfly body of this hairpin is made of jade, and the tassels below are made of jade beads strung with gold thread. It must make you look elegant and gentle. You have fair skin, and this eight-layer plum blossom jade hairpin looks so fair. You are no longer a mortal, but a fairy descended from the sky!"

"Really?" Aunt Cui didn't dare to believe her and turned to ask the accompanying maid.

"This lady is right. If you wear these ornaments on your hair, you will surely be so fascinated by your husband that he will not be able to leave your room." These words were too vulgar. Jiang Muxia and the other two rolled their eyes in their hearts. After all, a concubine who serves men with her beauty is presentable. The people around her are naturally as vulgar as her.

Aunt Cui waved her hand and said, "I want them all. Please pack this pair of lotus earrings for me."

Jiang Muxia leaned forward like a lackey, and whispered to her earnestly, "Madam, you are here. It is such a good opportunity. Why don't you get a pair of clothes? Look at this jade bracelet inlaid with jade beads with filigree copper coin patterns. Wearing it on your jade arm, you will look so noble!"

She raised her chin and asked the waiter to take it out, and she helped put it on Aunt Cui's wrist.

Judging from her expression, she seemed to like it very much, but she seemed to have some concerns and was a little hesitant.

Jiang Muxia glanced at Liu Qinghe and saw that her face was gloomy, her lips were tightly pursed, and her hands were tightly grasping the corner of her clothes.

"Madam, would you like to pick one for the lady behind you?"

"She?" Aunt Cui curled her lips in disdain. "She is a yellow-faced woman, so what's the use of her? Just be quiet and pay the money."

Jiang Muxia's lips curled up with a hint of ridicule. It turned out that she was pulled over to help pay. Liu Qinghe was really a soft persimmon. She actually agreed to such an unreasonable request. Was she weak or too stupid?

Jiang Muxia was inexplicably angry. No wonder Liu Qingyuan went out of town to drink alone. Liu Qinghe's personality could make her family angry to death, and her enemies could bully her at will. She was trampled on and squeezed by others, and she became a toy for others to vent their anger on.

She still remembered something Liu Qinghe in her previous life had told her, which she thought made a lot of sense and benefited her a lot.

She said, "How others treat you is up to you."

To put it another way, people tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. If you are weak, they will bully you, and if you are strong, they will be afraid of you.

Jiang Muxia raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Qinghe. She looked so soft now that she was almost as soft as dust.

Aunt Cui had almost finished her selection, so she called the waiter, "Pack it up for me."

"Okay." The waiter packed them one by one in exquisite boxes, wrapped them up with a piece of brocade cloth, and made a gesture of invitation with a smile on his face.

"Madam, please follow me to the counter at the door to settle the bill with the shopkeeper."

At this time, customers came into the shop from time to time. Some of the nobles were invited to the second floor. Some women passed by them with contempt in their eyes.

Aunt Cui stood still, and her maidservant angrily scolded Liu Qinghe with a stern face, "Madam, how can you be so tactless? Are you waiting for my master to invite you?"

Jiang Muxia and the other two watched coldly from the sidelines, waiting to see how she would react.

Qinghong and Qingyun shook their heads in silence, unable to believe that a concubine treated the original wife like a servant in public. This was the first time in the entire capital, and it was truly eye-opening.

The maidservant beside Liu Qinghe couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped forward and angrily said, "Why should our Madam pay for the things she bought? She insisted on following Madam when she was out. A concubine took advantage of her favor and climbed over Madam's head. If she wants it, she should pay for it herself."

With a crisp "pa" sound, the old woman slapped the maid in the face. The maid was not afraid at all. She immediately stood in front of Liu Qinghe and glared back.

Jiang Muxia looked at the little maid with admiration. Despite her young age, she was more principled than Liu Qinghe.

The old woman rushed forward and was about to take action, but was stopped by someone.

"Stop it. If you want to fight, go back home. What kind of place is this? How dare you act wild here?" Mei Zhao couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily.

Her eyes drifted across the corner of clothes outside the shop door, and her voice was intimidating without anger.

"I thought you were some noble lady, but you turned out to be a concubine from a small family. If you have no money, don't show off your wealth to avoid embarrassing your master." Mei Zhao walked to Aunt Cui, looked down at her, and pretended to be enlightened. "So you are the concubine of the little clerk from the Tang family's side branch. Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't believe the rumors at first, but today I see it's true."

"Sister Mei, what's the rumor? I just arrived in Beijing and didn't know about it." Liu Xuer asked with a smile, looking curious.

"She." Mei Zhao pointed at Aunt Cui with a smile, "She is so capable that a small clerk was convicted of favoring a concubine over his wife because of her. The clerk didn't care and was not afraid of rumors. He held her in his hands and suppressed the wife everywhere. Look at what the wife has become after being suppressed. Look at her clothes. We small merchants don't even like them, but she actually wears them on the street."

Liu Qinghe's face flushed and he lowered his head.

"Ah, Sister Mei, in our small county town, concubines regard serving the mistress as their first priority. Is the capital so open? Her husband is an official, isn't he afraid of being laughed at by his peers? Wouldn't his backyard be in chaos then?" Liu Xuer opened her eyes slightly, her face turned pale with fear.

Mei Zhao sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm almost overflowing.

"Of course I'm not afraid. He has his stepmother to look after his family. What has the chaos in his own backyard got to do with the legitimate master?" She suddenly lowered her voice, "I'm afraid he's looking forward to the chaos?"

"Ah, after Sister Jingmei's explanation, I now understand. It turns out that their husbands are actually stupid people."

The two of them sang in unison and made a complete joke of what happened in Tang Yi's backyard.

The other guests heard the seemingly casual conversation between the two and looked at them curiously.

Liu Qinghe just frowned, clutched the corner of his clothes, and dared not say a word.

Aunt Cui had never been so humiliated before. She pointed at Mei Zhao and started to curse, "Who the hell are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my family's backyard? Do you know who my eldest grandfather is, and who my sixth grandmother is? If they find out that you dare to destroy the reputation of my Tang family like this, they will not let you go."

The three of them looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Seeing that they did not take the Marquis' Mansion and Princess Ning'an seriously, the customers in the shop looked at them in surprise.

The Marquis's Mansion was a mere formality, and everyone was unwilling to pay attention to the other two branches and side branches of the Tang family. The one they were most concerned about was Princess Ning'an, who was the cousin of the emperor and the niece of the empress dowager.

"Apologize, kneel down and apologize to me, or I will make you pay for it. My old lady is the favorite of the princess. With just one word from her, your entire family will be buried with her."

Mei Zhao raised his eyebrows and spread his hands, looking like "what can you do to me?", which made Aunt Cui so angry that she jumped to her feet.

She turned around and pointed at Liu Qinghe and started to curse, "Do you think you can die? They cursed at your face, but you didn't dare to say a word. You coward."

She was about to push Liu Qinghe when two men came in through the door.

"stop."

Aunt Cui didn't dare to move. When she saw who was coming, she looked pitiful and aggrieved, and she twisted her slender waist and pounced on him.
