Chapter 675: The General’s Wife Who Was Married but Left with Her Son (4)
Soon, two bowls of Zimu River water were poured into the two men's stomachs without leaving a drop.
Su Li curled her lips into a smile, then turned around and disappeared into the room.
After returning to her original body's new house, she returned to the companion space and began to practice.
Ever since the last space upgrade, Su Li discovered that the flow of time in the space was different from that outside.
Especially this mortal world.
One hour outside is a year inside.
In this space, she basically practiced weapon refining techniques and mental power.
The merit power given for completing tasks is given to her own body, so her mental power is of course also cultivated to the level of her body.
In just one night, Su Li refined several top-grade spiritual weapons.
Su Li now no longer lacks any spirit stones.
There are nearly two hundred spirit stone mines in her companion space, and she occasionally refines spirit weapons and puts them on the trading market.
Now she can be considered a small wealthy woman.
"Tuanzi, go back and see if there are any materials you need in this trading market, and then buy them directly." Su Li called out to the system Tuanzi who was playing with the iron-eating beast in the space.
The trading market was originally developed on the system dumpling body, and Su Li now directly delegated the authority to let it handle it on its own.
She is not short of spirit stones now, so if Tuanzi needs them in the market, it would save her trouble.
[Okay, host sister! ] Tuanzi was extremely happy.
Because there are indeed several materials on the trading market that can be used to refine its body.
Sensing the presence of Qiu Kui, the maid that came with her original body during her dowry, in the yard, Su Li immediately came out of the companion space.
As for the spirit beast, she had taken it back last night.
There was a knock on the door. "Miss, are you awake? Get up. We are going to serve tea to the Marquis and his wife!"
"Well, come in!" At this moment, Su Li was already sitting in front of the dressing table wearing white pajamas.
Qiu Kui said he wanted to serve tea, it seems that Pingyang Hou and the others are not awake yet!
Otherwise it would be impossible for no sound to be heard at all!
"Miss, please wash up first. I have prepared breakfast. Please enjoy it later!" Qiu Kui put the copper basin on the round table and neatly cleaned up the food that was placed on the table last night.
Her tone was filled with complaints, "Obviously our young lady is the principal wife, but the son-in-law chose to go to the concubine! This is simply not giving face to the young lady and our master! I am worried that Master Hou and the others will embarrass the young lady later, so let's eat something to fill our stomachs first!"
"Okay." Su Li nodded and stood up from the dressing table.
While she was washing up, Qiu Kui had already brought the prepared breakfast over. "Miss, luckily I got up early. If I had gotten up late, we wouldn't be able to use the kitchen!"
"Well, then you can find someone to build a stove in our yard. You can pay for our food expenses from now on!" Su Li said casually and threw out a bag of silver.
"okay!"
Qiu Kui responded briskly, "Miss, after you finish eating, I will help you tie your hair!"
When Su Li finished her breakfast and Qiu Kui had tied up her hair, there was a knock on the gate.
"Young Madam, it's time to go to the front yard and serve tea to the Master and the Madam!" The voice of a middle-aged maid came from outside the door.
Su Li curled her lips.
It seems that even after having their heads shaved, they did not give up the idea of robbing their daughter-in-law of her dowry.
Su Li wanted to see how they could take the dowry away from her!
"Got it, I'll be there right away!" Qiu Kui responded and prepared to help Su Li go to the front yard.
"Qiukui, go out through the side door, then ask someone to build the stove and buy some ingredients." Su Li didn't intend to involve her in what happened next, so he sent her away directly.
"Okay, miss."
Su Li then opened the courtyard door by herself and looked at Hongyu, the maidservant serving the Marquis' wife, and said, "Let's go!"
There was a hint of anger on Hongyu's face at this moment.
Of course, it was not directed at Su Li, but she was dissatisfied with the Marquis's wife whom she had served for twenty or thirty years.
After serving her for so many years, he finally got the silver hairpin, and she has always treasured it.
Unexpectedly, early in the morning the lady said that her jewelry was stolen, and locked all the servants and maids in their yard into the woodshed!
Then he asked me to take out the silver hairpin for emergency.
The strangest thing was that both the couple wore veils and were angry in a mysterious way.
"Young Madam, Madam and the others are in a bad mood. Please be careful with your words later." Hongyu reminded them out of indignation towards the Marquis of Pingyang and his wife.
Su Li curled her lips, "Okay, I got it, thank you for the reminder."
It seems that the couple's work is not very popular and they can't even win over their own confidants.
In the main hall of Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Gu Yanzhao looked at his parents who were sitting on the high hall, wearing veils, with a confused look on his face, "Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"
The Marquis' wife whimpered softly behind the veil, "Son, mother..."
"Okay, let's talk about it later if there is anything!" Pingyang Hou pulled her sleeve and warned in a low voice.
How could I tell other people about having my head shaved?
It is said that our bodies and hair are given by our parents and should not be damaged.
If this gets out, I don’t know what kind of rumors will spread!
Seeing his parents hesitating, Gu Yanzhao didn't ask any more questions.
He held He Mianmian's waist and said, "Dad, Mom, if that's the case, why don't you drink Mianmian's cup of daughter-in-law tea first?"
In his mind, only He Mianmian is his real wife.
As for Xie Shuer, it was purely her parents' orders.
"Uh, this..." The Marquis' wife covered the only silver hairpin in her sleeve, feeling embarrassed.
Last night, some unknown villain not only shaved her and her husband's hair, but also stole all her belongings.
This left her in a tight spot, unable to afford any gift for the tea ceremony.
In order to get Xie's dowry, she specifically asked Hongye to return the silver hairpin.
Now that she wanted to drink the endless tea, what could she give her as a gift?
"Mother?" Gu Yanzhao frowned.
He called out, "Someone, serve tea!"
"Wait!" Pingyang Hou, who knew his wife's thoughts well, hurriedly stopped her.
He stroked his beard and said softly to Gu Yanzhao and He Mianmian, "This tea is for the daughter-in-law to her parents-in-law! He is just a concubine now, so we won't drink it! It won't be too late for us to drink it when she becomes successful in the future!"
In fact, what he meant was that it would not be too late to drink this cup of tea after he got Xie's dowry.
However, He Mianmian thought that the Pingyang Marquis and his wife disliked her.
There was a glimmer of viciousness in her eyes, but her face was pale and weak, "It turns out I am not worthy!"
"Dad! Mom!" Seeing his beloved one in pain, Gu Yanzhao suddenly became anxious.
He said indignantly, "Didn't I tell you before? There is only Mianmian in my heart. To me, she is my principal wife!"
