Chapter 687 Wu's Trouble Again

On the other hand, the appearance of Jiang Youning and his group also caused an uproar in the entire Jun family.

Ever since the previous incident, Wu had become restrained, but since Jun Qingyu readily agreed, Wu felt that she was back to her old ways.

Seeing that the entire Jun family was busy with her birthday party, Mrs. Wu couldn't hide the smile on her face.

So what if she is not his biological daughter? He still has to call her mother and obey her every request.

Mrs. Wu sat at the top, listening happily to the praises from the people below.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the people sitting below. All of them were wives of the heads of major families, but they were not the top ones. The families behind these people were mostly in an upper-middle position in Hanzhou, which meant they were not as good as the top ones, but better than the bottom ones.

These families all have one common characteristic, which is that they want to curry favor with the Jun family.

During this birthday party, Wu had someone secretly tell these people that she wanted to choose a wife for her son.

Wu actually didn't care who the candidate for wife was. What she cared about was whether the future daughter-in-law was of the same mind as her.

What she meant was that she didn't care who would become the young master's wife in the future, but the prerequisite was that this person must be of the same mind as her.

You must know that the most powerful wind in the world is pillow wind.

Just imagine if the eldest son’s wife stood on his side and whispered in his ear from time to time, in this way, she could also gain more benefits for the younger son.

Moreover, there is a saying that goes "After the elder brother dies, the younger son shall inherit the property". If the eldest son has no offspring in the future, all resources will definitely be invested in the offspring of the younger son.

In this way, when the eldest son grows old, the position of head of the family will return to the hands of the younger son's lineage.

The more Wu thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible, but it was a bit of a pity for the future girl. At worst, she could treat her better after she got married, and she believed that she would understand her.

after all……

Mrs. Wu's eyes swept over the people present one by one. Behind each lady was a girl who was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Each of them had bright eyes, white teeth and was graceful.

After all, if it weren't for her, these girls would never have the chance to enter the Jun family in their entire lives.

Originally, Wu was going to give this opportunity to her niece from her mother's side. After all, no one could be as good as her daughter-in-law as her own family member. But Wu Jingshu was really disappointing.

Shu Xiao stood behind her mother in the crowd. Thinking of the words that the mistress of the Jun family had sent someone to say not long ago, she could not hide her excitement.

At this moment, Madam Shu gave her daughter a look, and Shu Xiao immediately understood what she meant. She then walked to the center with lotus steps, bowed and said, "Today is Madam Jun's birthday banquet. Xiao Xiao bought a Shengyan Pill from Bazhen Pavilion. I think that in the world, except Madam Jun, no one else is worthy of taking this pill."

When Wu heard the three words "Sheng Yan Dan", her eyes lit up. There is no woman who doesn't care about her appearance.

Especially since Wu had the title of the most beautiful woman in Hanzhou back then, otherwise she would not have become the mistress of the Jun family in one fell swoop.

But as time goes by, the years still leave traces on her face.

"Quick, bring it to this lady." When the maid brought the pill to her, she couldn't wait to open the bottle containing the pill.

In an instant, the room was filled with a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

The other ladies in the room, including Shaojie, all looked at the bottle in Wu's hand with envy.

At this time, a lady slowly spoke up, "I have also heard about the auction at Bazhen Pavilion. It is said that someone spent 30 million Xuan coins to bid for the Shengyan Pill. I think this person is Miss Shu. Miss Shu really took great pains to prepare a birthday gift for Madam Jun and started preparing it so early."

The young ladies glared at Shu Xiao angrily. She was the first to offer the Shengyan Pill, so what should they do with their gifts? Should they take it or not?

If they take it out, it will be shameful. If they don’t take it out, it will be even more shameful. Unless they can take out a birthday gift that is even more powerful than the Shengyan Pill, it will be shameful whether they take it or not.

Shu Xiao didn't blush or get nervous even though she was ridiculed. She said calmly, "Mrs. Jun is the elder Xiao Xiao admires the most, so her birthday gift must be prepared carefully."

Another lady mocked, "Ms. Shu is really filial. She is willing to spend 30 million to prepare a birthday gift. I just don't know if she is so filial to her own parents."

Hearing this, the smile on Shu Xiao's face began to crack.

However, the crowd had no intention of letting her go.

"Oh, I heard that the day after Miss Shu bought the Shengyan Pill, someone came to collect the debt, and the amount was exactly 30 million. It was said that she was so scared that she didn't even dare to open the door."

"So it's other people's money. No wonder you don't feel bad about it."

The reason why all of them appeared here was that they all accepted Wu's hint.

No one is stupid. When everyone has a chance, the natural thing to do is to suppress the opponent, preferably turning him into a stepping stone. This way, their daughter will have a better chance of turning into a phoenix.

Shu Xiao looked at these people angrily, "I think you ladies must have seen it wrong. I just didn't have enough money on me at the time and had to borrow money to make ends meet. I paid it back quickly afterwards. I wasn't scared and didn't dare to open the door."

"Besides, who knows whether what you said is true or false."

"All right."

Wu's timely appearance interrupted the conversation of these people, "I like Xiaoxiao's gift very much. Here is a pair of jade bracelets, which were my dowry back then. I will give them to you now."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes instantly fell on Shu Xiao, with envy and jealousy mixed in their eyes.

Many people present also participated in the original auction. If they had known that Madam Jun would be bribed by a Holy Face Pill, they would have sold everything they had to get the Holy Face Pill.

Isn't it just 30 million? Compared with marrying into the Jun family, 30 million is not worth mentioning at all.

Shu Xiao herself had a stunned expression on her face, with a gleam in her eyes, "Thank you, ma'am."

Mrs. Wu nodded slightly. As she had been in a high position for many years, she naturally saw the ambition hidden deep in Shu Xiao's eyes. It is good to be ambitious. Ambition means desire, and such people are easier to control.

This is also the reason why Wu chose Shu Xiao among everyone. Apart from the factor of the Holy Face Pill, the ambition and desire in her eyes were the heaviest. In comparison, the eyes of the rest of the people were too clear, full of yearning for pure love.
