Chapter 1071

Here they are discussing lifelong affairs, while Xia Jinmian has already competed with a full-level agent on the other side.

Dou Manni and a group of ladies stood behind and couldn't see, so Shi Nian helped them open a way and led them to the front.

Dou Manni told the group of ladies, "Did you see that? That beautiful and sassy little girl who is going to compete with a full-level agent is my eldest daughter-in-law!"

A group of ladies looked together, knowing that it was Xia Jinmian who took the initiative to compete with the full-level agent, and they all despised such a showy woman in their hearts.

On the face, she pretended to be flattering, not daring to offend Dou Manni.

"She looks pretty and has a good temperament."

"What a fine girl."

There are also a few noble ladies with noble status who are not afraid of offending Dou Manni, so they made a few words of sarcasm.

"It's still the image ambassador of the secret service. The heroine who defends the country is not like my daughter-in-law who knows how to stay at home all day long, playing with flowers and plants, and taking care of the little grandson. How can she have such a chance to be in the limelight."

"Isn't it? My daughter-in-law also doesn't like to show her face in public. After all, she used to be a famous lady, and it would be offensive to show her face too much."

"Well, it's not as good as it used to be now. Women can hold up half the sky. Women with a little bit of ability don't like to stay at home, but like to behave in crowded places."

Dou Manni's face darkened when she heard that, these old women actually said that her Xiao Mian was in the limelight, that it was offensive to show her publicity, and she liked to show off?

She told herself not to be angry, and after Xiaomian performed well in a while, she would be so envious of these old women who couldn't eat grapes and said grapes were sour!

When Shi Nian stood by and heard it, he couldn't help but want to say a few words for Xia Jinmian.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xia Jinmian is the best agent since Queen Xia, and even has the potential to surpass him. Please be merciful, ladies and gentlemen."

The noble wives who had satirized Xia Jinmian just now became unhappy.

"We didn't say anything, why did we just show mercy?"

"Madam Shi, don't wrong us, we didn't say anything bad about Xia Jinmian."

Shi Nian was also very helpless, but he didn't continue to argue with them, otherwise it would make everyone unhappy.

After all, today is a happy event.

Dou Manni rolled her eyes wittily, and said with a smile: "How about this? I think Madam has already prepared prizes for the competition. We are here to congratulate and watch the excitement. Why don't we all prepare prizes? Don't let people think that we are These expensive wives are shabby."

With that said, Dou Manni took off the priceless jadeite necklace around her neck, and handed it to Shi Nian.

"Mrs. Shi, this necklace is a gift from Queen Xia. Today I'm in the lottery. No matter who wins, I can take it as a reward."

Shi Nian was shocked immediately, Mrs. Dou could really afford such an expensive gift.

"This... is too expensive, isn't it?"

Dou Manni said with an elegant smile: "Although I'm just a wealthy wife, I can't lose face of the wealthy wife!"

Turning her eyes, Dou Manni glanced at a few noble ladies whose expressions changed slightly, and said with a smile: "Don't lose face to the noble ladies, so many people are watching!"

In fact, the necklace in Dou Manni's hand is only one ten-thousandth of what Shi Chun gave her.

After Shi Chun became the queen of Xia, he got the key to the treasury of the royal family of Xia, and sent a whole set of jewelry to Dou Manni generously every year.

Occasionally, when Chunruo finds something good-looking, she thinks that Dou Manni will like it, and will post it to her from time to time.

Therefore, this necklace is priceless in everyone's eyes, but in her eyes, it can be taken out and used at will.
