I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

~

He really is looking for trouble.

On the wedding day, not a single prominent family came to offer congratulations. Not only did only a group of low-ranking servants eat at the banquet, but even after midnight, the groom Shen Yixiao did not return.

So, on the wedding night, Gao Shu began to stay alone in the empty room.

But how could she sleep?

I hid in the quilt and cried for half the night until I was so tired that I fell asleep in a daze.

It seemed that she had just fallen asleep for a short while when the head maid Hongyou gently woke her up:

"Madam, it's getting late. You have to go to the prince and princess to offer tea later. You should get up."

Serving tea?

Gao Shu was stunned for a moment before she remembered that today was the day after the wedding and the newlyweds should go and offer tea to their parents-in-law.

Although she got married too hastily and her parents-in-law didn't have time to come to Beijing, the mother of Prince Zhenbian, the old lady, was there, so she had to go.

"Okay, I'll get up now." Gao Shu, who was not fully slept, yawned and crawled out of the warm bed with difficulty.

Just as she was about to get out of bed, Gao Shu suddenly remembered her husband Shen Yi and smiled, and quickly asked:

"When did the son-in-law come back last night? Why didn't he come to sleep in the new room? Could it be that... he slept in the study?"

When Hongyou heard this, she immediately lowered her head and her expression became strange.

Gao Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately yelled, "Could it be that the mansion has a concubine, and the son-in-law stayed in the concubine's room last night?"

Hongyou couldn't bear the anger of her master, so she had to tell the truth: "That's not the case. It's just that... my son-in-law didn't come home last night and stayed at Zuihongxuan."

what?

Did he stay out all night on his wedding night and spend the night in a brothel?

Gao Shu's heart, which was already extremely chilled, became even colder. She cried and said, "Shen Yixiao, how could you treat me like this? I am your legally married wife."

After saying this, huge tears rolled down Gao Shu's eyes.

Hongyou was so frightened that she quickly wiped it with a handkerchief and kept persuading him:

"Madam, calm down. It's useless to cry now. Fortunately, we will go to offer tea to the old lady, the prince and the princess. I heard that the princess is kind. Why don't you go to her and complain to her? Ask her to bring your son-in-law back and give him a good lesson to vent your anger?"

Is the princess kind?

Hearing this, Gao Shu instinctively pursed her lips and sneered with tears in her eyes:

"Fu Yushu is not kind at all! Look at the character of her sister Fu Yuzheng, a bully! As sisters from the same mother, how good can Fu Yushu be?"

Hongyou was so scared that she quickly covered her master's mouth and almost begged:

"Madam, if you want to gain a foothold in the Shen family in the future, you must not offend the princess. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to have a good harvest."

Gao Shu pushed Hongyou away and said angrily, "Why? Does this mean that Madam Ben has to live her life according to her mood? Bah..."

Hongyou was afraid that her master would say something treasonous, so she quickly interrupted him:

"Madam, the old lady is my uncle's aunt. I heard that of all her nephews and nieces, my uncle is the one that the old lady favors the most. When she serves tea later, she will definitely ask about my uncle's absence all night. Please think of the words in advance and try to win the old lady's sympathy."

Gao Shu's eyes lit up, as if she saw a glimmer of hope.

Wiping away tears, he nodded and said:

"Yes, Shen Yixiao dared to treat me so coldly on our wedding night. The old lady is a sensible person. She will definitely comfort me as much as she can, and then find him back and scold him severely, and teach him to treat me well in the future and strive for harmony between husband and wife, so that he can have a smooth life."

After comforting herself in this way, Gao Shu jumped out of bed with great energy, urged Hongyou to quickly dress her up, and couldn't wait to serve tea to the old lady.

Unexpectedly, after they had finished tidying up, the master and servant had just walked out of the room when they saw the housekeeper of the Mu Mansion walk into the courtyard, running over and asking loudly:

"Good morning, Madam Shen. Are you going out?"

By the way, the steward of the Mu Mansion had made things difficult for Gao Shu many times, and Gao Shu didn't have any good feelings towards him at all.

Now, Gao Shu relies on herself as Madam Shen and feels that no matter how incompetent she is, she is still a master, unlike the steward of the Mu Mansion who is just a dog servant.

So, he deliberately acted like a master, held his chin high, and said arrogantly:

"Well, I am going to offer tea to the old lady and pay my respects. You are blocking my way, get out of the way!"

After saying that, he was about to push the butler away and rush forward.

The housekeeper stood there as steady as a rock, staring down at the short Gao Shu and said sarcastically:

"Mrs. Shen, there is no need to bother."

"My prince just said that they are only cousins, and the blood relationship is a bit distant. Even if we want to offer tea the day after the wedding... we can't offer it to cousins."

"It doesn't make sense."

"So, Mrs. Shen, keep this cup of tea for when you return to the southwest in the future... to toast your parents-in-law."

Gao Shu: ???

Is this a refusal to see her?

While she was in a daze, the housekeeper added:

"My prince has specifically told me that Madam Shen is staying here temporarily under someone else's roof, and he hopes that Madam Shen can understand the limits and abide by the rules, and not go to the upper room to disturb the pregnant princess casually."

"Unless summoned, no one is allowed to leave Luotong Courtyard."

Gao Shu: ???

This, this means house arrest?

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. It turned out that several black-faced guards with swords were guarding the gate of the courtyard.

The butler glanced at the sword-carrying guards and continued with a fake smile:

"I'm afraid that Madam Shen won't be able to control her feet if she gets distracted, so I specially called six guards to serve as a reminder when necessary."

After saying that, the butler bowed to Gao Shu and turned away.

However, six guards with swords stayed behind.

At this moment, Gao Shu finally realized how outrageous it was that she had wanted to use the old lady to deal with Shen Yixiao.

In the end, she couldn't even see him.

Gao Shu broke down and cried again. Her legs went limp and she fell down onto the stone steps under the long corridor, wiping her tears and saying:

"Hongyou, what should I do? My husband didn't come home all night, and I can't see the old lady. I don't even have a place to complain!"

Hongyou remained silent, she really had no choice.

Suddenly, Gao Shu thought of something, and her eyes lit up again:

"Tomorrow is the day for the third brother to return home. I can complain to my grandmother, father, and mother. I just don't believe that they can be so cruel as to not care about anything when their son-in-law treats me so badly."

Before, my grandmother couldn’t do anything about it because she hadn’t married into the Shen family yet and wasn’t Mrs. Shen, so she didn’t have enough standing to confront Mu Shaoheng.

Today, things are very different.

She is already Mrs. Shen, the true daughter-in-law of the Shen family.

She was treated unfairly and suffered a lot of injustice on her wedding day, and her grandmother, as her family member, had enough confidence to support her!

The next day, the auspicious day for Sanchao to return home soon arrived.

Gao Shu really threw herself into Madam Gao's arms, crying out of breath, and complained:

"Grandmother, your granddaughter's life is hard. Shen Yi laughed at him for being a good-for-nothing. He stayed in a brothel on his wedding night and didn't come back all night... The Wang couple in Zhenbian also bullied me and put me under house arrest..."

"They are abusing your granddaughter. You have to take charge of her!"
