009 Bow

The enchanting middle-aged beautiful woman was the Valium's pampered concubine.

Qin's was waiting for these exact words and hurriedly said. "Qing Ru is big sister Xu's child, and because she was born in the second month with many ailments, she was sent to Ye City. She has just returned."

Born in February. Dead mother. A look of disdain flashed past Hughes's fox-like eyes.

"Qing Ru, why are you standing there in a daze? Hurry up and greet Madam Hou." Seeing Shen Qingru standing at the same place, the Qin's urged him.

It was only now that Shen Qingru finally understood Qin's's true intentions. Although she was born in a wealthy and powerful family, Hughes was still his concubine. Now that Qin's had made her, a first-born daughter of the Prime Minister Palace, pay respects to this concubine, it was only to make her lose face in front of others, so that she wouldn't be able to raise her head in front of others.

If she followed Qin's's instructions and saluted Hughes, then how could she, a first-born daughter of the Prime Minister Palace, have any face? She was afraid that her father, her grandmother would also be angry that she lost her reputation as a Prime Minister.

If he did not, Shen Qingru would look at the arrogant Hughes sitting there waiting for her to kneel down and greet him. Then, he sneered, afraid that this pampered concubine would be dissatisfied, and the Qin's would take the chance to take action.

What should she do?

Shen Qingru didn't hesitate as she stepped forward and blessed the Hughes. With an extremely elegant posture, she said, "Qing Ru greets Madam Hu."

She only slightly bent her knees, but her upper body remained motionless. Her back was very straight, and after performing the ceremony, she folded her hands and hung them at her side, looking very demure and attractive.

Qin's was slightly surprised.

But the greeting Shen Qingru paid to the Qin's just now was an official one.

Even the Hughes was able to see the difference in Shen Qingru's two salutes, and astonishment filled her eyes.

"Why can't this child even know how to salute?" Qin's smiled obsequiously, and then looked at Su Xin who was beside Shen Qingru. Upon hearing the order, she walked towards Shen Qingru quickly, and laughed: "Eldest Miss has just returned from the countryside today, and is not very clear on the etiquette in the capital. I hope that the two madam can forgive me."

Shen Qingru sneered. She wanted to force her to bow to him.

Before Su Xin's hands could touch Shen Qingru, her body flashed and avoided the hands cleverly. She was startled.

After dodging the Pure Heart Demon Claw, Shen Qingru raised her small white face, and innocently looked at Qin's: "Mother, Qing Ru did not do anything wrong."

"You're not the one who asked for help to tell Qing Ru that you're the principal wife of this residence, but this madam is only a concubine of the Residence of Marquis of Yongan. Wife and concubine are different, and they have different identities.

"Although Madam Hu is a concubine, she is also an elder of Qing Ru. Qing Ru will follow your instructions and pay her respects to the elder." Shen Qingru's bright black eyes looked straight at Qin's, his gaze pure and flawless.

Qin's almost fainted from Shen Qingru's words. She trembled and scolded: "Stop with your nonsense. When have I ever said such words?"

The Hughes's face was already dark, but after hearing Shen Qingru's words, her face became even colder, and she sneered at Qin's: "So this is how madam teaches her daughter!"

Her and Qin's's background was low and she could not help but feel a sense of empathy. Amongst all the noble wives in the capital, she had the best relationship with the Qin's.

It was fine that the daughters of the aristocratic families looked down on her, but this Qin's, a lowly maid who came from a lowly family, actually looked down on her!

Seeing Hughes like this, it was obvious that she was truly angry, and immediately pulled on her sleeve: "Elder sister, please calm your anger, this damned girl must be possessed, and your mouth must be full of nonsense. I have always been on good terms with my sister, so why would I say such words? If I were to say it out loud, I will only teach you how to do it! "

"Stupid girl, hurry up and tell me who told you to say such words!" Qin's glared at Shen Qingru.

Shen Qingru timidly shrank back, not daring to meet Qin's's eyes, as though she was scared witless.

Hughes saw Shen Qingru's reaction clearly. She shook off Qin's's sleeve and sneered: "My little concubine cannot afford to call me big sister. Madam, why are you putting on such a show to scare the Eldest Miss? She said just now that she just came back from the countryside and didn't know anything. If it wasn't for someone deliberately teaching her, how could she say something like that? Forget it, I finally got to know the Madam today, and let's forget about the matter that I just mentioned. My family's Gao Xu is just a concubine, how can she be worthy of your family's Shen Muyun? "

So it turned out that Hughes was here to scout things out, and wanted to propose marriage to the Shen family's first-born daughter, Shen Muyun, for her eldest son, Murong Gao Xu. Although Mu Rong Gao Xu was born from a concubine, she was doted upon by the Valium. Hughes, who wholeheartedly wanted his son to become the next Valium, wanted to find a strong ally for his son to be a wife. Shen Muyun, who was born in the Prime Minister's house and had always been famous, became the number one candidate in her heart.

However, Shen Muyun was Shen Xiang and Qin's's most beloved daughter. Qin's's eyes were always on the top, she thought that other than being born to be the Empress, her daughter was not worthy of anyone else besides the crown prince. If even Seventh Prince Xiao Qiyu's proposal in her previous life had been rejected, how would she have the interest to see the eldest son born from Valium.

However, the Valium had some influence in the imperial court after all. Furthermore, Mu Rong Gao Xu was the beloved son of the Valium, so the Qin's could not directly offend him. She could only think of a way to tactfully reject him.

Shen Qingru immediately understood. No wonder the Qin's anxiously wanted Shen Qingru to come out and pay respects to the Hughes. So she was actually scheming like this, and wanted to use Shen Qingru as a shield to protect the precious gem of her palm — — Shen Muyun, who was like a fairy, to block this rotten peach blossom.

However, she had never expected that Shen Qingru's single sentence would cause her to deeply offend the Valium's Palace.

Hughes angrily brushed her sleeves and left. She hurriedly went forward to give her explanation to Hughes, but her words only grew more and more untrue. This time, her enmity with the Hughes could be considered to have completely intertwined.

Yes, of course.

However, if she allowed the Qin's to take control of everything, and let him do everything, just like in his previous life, would the Qin's treat her well?

No, Qin's will only think of her as a foolish puppet. In her previous life, her position was taken by Shen Muyun, and she died a miserable death in a cold palace.

Therefore, from the start, she was not afraid of falling out with the Qin's. She wanted to personally take back the debts they owed her in her previous life.

Su Xin looked at the Eldest Miss's leisurely back and felt a chill run down her spine. Was Eldest Miss really the ignorant and foolish country girl that the Madam had described?
