Chapter 30 – Previous Lifetime (2)

At this moment, Shen Ziqiao was listening to Ping’er saying about Madam Liu coming over to meet up with Old Madam today.

“It seems like Old Madam is busy getting me a stepmother.” Dressed in a tulle skirt, Shen Ziqiao languidly concluded while lying on a heated brick bed, her four limbs spread out, deprived of any semblances of a graceful lady.

Shen Ziqiao had never demonstrated the countenance of a well-bred lady, so all the maidservants were long used to her behavior. Ping’er listened and merely recounted, “It’s been said that Miss Liu has a gentle disposition and is abounded with talents.”

She did know about this; how Miss Liu was already twenty yet still unmarried to this date, all due to her high requirements. It was rather unfortunate that this marriage arrangement would be doomed to fail, not because of Shen Xiao consideration for his daughter’s feelings, but rather because of Sheng Peiyin’s intervention.

If she was to allow Sheng Peiyin fouling up this marriage arrangement again, then she would truly be a good-for-nothing supporting character.

And according to the unwritten rules, to conform to being an outstanding supporting character, one must sabotage all of the female lead’s good deeds.

When Ping’er heard Shen Ziqiao’s bizarre giggling, she averted her glance and shared a look of trepidation with Hong Yu who was standing by the side.

“Third Miss. Third Miss. That Madam Qi had sent someone over again.” Hong Ying rushed into the room anxiously, panting as she reported in a low voice.

Shen Ziqiao raised her eyebrows and asked, “Who came?”

“Madam Qi’s personal capable Mama. Didn’t someone come to get your bazi a few days ago, perhaps she is here to relay the outcome.” Hong Ying implied.

It was no secret that Madam Qi longed to have Shen Ziqiao as her daughter-in-law.

“Find a way to bring them here.” Shen Ziqiao said quietly.

Hong Yu and the others were startled, “Third Miss, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

They maidservants thought Shen Ziqiao had planned to give the person who came a good scolding, and forbid the Qis from coming again.

“How is it not good?” Shen Ziqiao looked at them, puzzling.

Hong Yu was just about to persuade Shen Ziqiao into not using excessive radical methods to drive the Qi Family’s person away when Cui Ping scurried into the room, “Third Miss, Old Madam wants you to take a trip to De’an Courtyard.”

“Aiyo, what a coincidence.” Shen Ziqiao stood up smilingly, “Let’s go!”

Hong Yu hurriedly held on to Shen Ziqiao’s arm to stop her, “Third Miss, you should at least change your clothes before heading over.”

Shen Ziqiao lowered her head to look at herself, she was wearing a light yellow tulle skirt with a round collar and lantern-like sleeves. As the weather was extremely hot, she did not wear undergarment, thus her red chest covering garment was faintly discernible.

What those actresses wore on screen for ancient dramas were way more revealing than hers…..

With no other choice, Shen Ziqiao changed and left for De’an Courtyard.

Old Madam was chatting with a Mama who was in a dark blue cotton top. The Mama sat on a wooden stool next to a heated brick bed, she was delicate and pretty, with fair and clear skin; appearing very affable.

The Mama raised her head and saw an exquisite young lady entering the room. She was dressed in a mint colored vest and an ivory pleated skirt embroidered with light green leaves at the corners, looking absolutely lovely and pleasing to the eyes.

Standing beside the Eldest Young Master, they would make a beautiful couple, as for whatever her temperament was, it did not matter at all.

Seeing Shen Ziqiao, Old Madam’s smile slowly faded away, “This is Mama Gu from the Qi’s. Madam Qi and your mother were old acquaintances, thus she specifically has Mama Gu bringing you some unique playthings.”

The excuse could not possibly be more implausible! Brimming with smiles, Shen Ziqiao thanked Mama Gu and took the other wooden armchair.

Mama Gu was very satisfied after giving Shen Ziqiao a one-over scrutiny from head to toe, “Third Miss is indeed very attractive.”

“Thank you Mama Gu, for the compliment.” Shen Ziqiao magnanimously and politely replied, “Madam Qi is truly considerate to remember me whenever she has any unique playthings. Mama Gu must thank her on my behalf.”

Who knew if Madam Qi was truly acquainted with Shen Ziqiao’s mother, as the sole purpose for Mama Gu here today was to map Shen Ziqiao out.

“Laonu will definitely bring Third Miss’ message back.” She then turned to Old Madam Shen, “Old Madam, your guidance must have been excellent, all your granddaughters are very well-behaved. In the capital, where can one find such a lovable girl.”

Old Madam Shen casted a sidelong glance at Shen Ziqiao, pondering the true intentions behind this damned girl’s strange behavior today; too faultless the façade of a well-bred lady.
