Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1174 Confused
Early the next morning, Gou'er followed Lu Baichuan to help Prince Jing. When Jiang Jiuniang woke up naturally from her sleep and washed herself and had something to eat, Madam Hou, the prefect's wife, came.

The maids around Jiang Jiuniang were all sent by the Hou family. Knowing that her condition was normal, Jiang Jiuniang didn't want to care about it.

"Mrs. Ji came so early. Is there something wrong?"

She still lowered her head to cook, not even looking at Hou Shi, let alone asking her to sit down and eat together. Anyway, her dislike of Hou Shi was written on her face.

Hou was also dissatisfied in her heart, but she still said with a smile on her face: "The weather is nice today. Madam is here for the first time. How about I go out for a walk with Madam?"

Jiang Jiuniang had this plan last night. When women are together, the only way to connect with each other is to go shopping and have tea. Shopping is Jiang Jiuniang's favorite, and she can learn about the situation of the people.

"Okay, wait until I finish eating."

Jiang Jiuniang spoke softly, but not to Mrs. Hou, but because she had just fallen asleep and was in a good mood. Excessive anger would not be good for the fetus in her belly, and there was no need for her to really hurt her body while acting.

"Okay, are you waiting for me outside?"

"Ah."

Jiang Jiuniang nodded without much reaction.

Mrs. Hou gritted her teeth and her whole body was a little chapped. She was the wife of a fourth-grade official after all. How could Jiang Jiuniang show her face like this?
Besides, I didn’t do anything wrong!

She turned around with a smile, then immediately darkened her face. She had to tell the master tonight that if there was a way, Lu Baichuan and his wife should be dealt with as well. It was really annoying to watch!

Jiang Jiuniang was not unaware of her displeasure, but she deliberately treated her like this. She even deliberately did things slowly to keep Hou Shi waiting for her.

She wanted to see how long Hou could endure it.

By the time Jiang Jiuniang came out, it was already half an hour later.

Madam Hou thought she was dressing up, but she was still wearing the same simple and elegant dress she saw before. There was no makeup on her face, but she still looked stunning.

But Mrs. Hou was not in the mood to appreciate this look. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Since Jiang Jiuniang wasn't dressing up, what was she doing for the past half hour?
Simply wasting her?
Just because she is the wife of a second-grade general, can she be so arrogant?

"What are you still doing here?"

Jiang Jiuniang lazily raised her eyelids, seeming very surprised.

Hou didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion: "Where should I be?"

"Didn't you ask my wife to go shopping? Didn't you go and arrange the place first? My wife is pregnant, didn't you make preparations in advance?"

Jiang Jiuniang looked like she was taking it for granted, and Hou Shi's smile was almost unbearable.

"Don't worry, Madam Lu. I have enough servants with me to ensure Madam's safety. Don't worry."

Hou's patience has reached a certain level, his smile is just stiff, and he even speaks through gritted teeth.

If Ji Ziqiu hadn't asked her to accompany Jiang Jiu Niang for a walk, she wouldn't have bothered to respond!

Jiang Jiuniang acted as if she didn't notice, and said with disgust: "Okay, I'm not telling you, your hospitality is really bad. No wonder the people under your command are also unreliable, and they almost killed His Highness Prince Jing. How can you do that?" Is the family still alive?"

Madam Hou was originally very angry, but after hearing what Jiang Jiuniang said, she instantly smiled.

It turns out that from Jiang Jiuniang's point of view, this was basically the fault of her subordinates. They failed to discipline their subordinates well, so this kind of thing happened. It was precisely because of this that Jiang Jiuniang disliked her no matter what.

Anyway, as long as the blame is not thrown on Ji Ziqiu, if Jiang Jiu Niang thinks so, it means that Lu Baichuan thinks so too. They have a good relationship and they will definitely talk.

Hou instantly felt that today was not too unlucky. At least he had received some useful information before he even left the house. He might be able to talk more if he went out for a walk.

Her attitude improved a lot instantly, and she said with a smile: "What Madam taught me is that I will pay attention in the future and learn more from Madam." Seeing that her attitude had improved a lot, Jiang Jiuniang raised her lips with satisfaction: "Then let's go."

Seeing her smile, Mrs. Hou knew that she was in a good mood. Presumably it was because she listened to her words. She instantly made an evaluation of Jiang Jiuniang: she had a big temper and liked to show off her power as a high-ranking official's wife, but she actually didn't have a very good mind. Yes, just coax her well.

This is not difficult, and Hou can completely accept it.

"Which would you like to go shopping first, madam? Check out jewelry or new clothes?"

"It's okay, you can arrange it."

Jiang Jiuniang's expression was indifferent and she didn't seem very interested, but Mrs. Hou knew that she had this temper, so she didn't take it to heart and directly asked someone to arrange a carriage to prepare for departure.

Looking at the carriage in front of her, Jiang Jiuniang frowned in disgust: "I don't want to share a carriage with others."

Hou knew that she was talking about him, and was very embarrassed, so he immediately asked someone to prepare another carriage.

She wanted to take the opportunity to set up a relationship with Jiang Jiuniang. After all, Ji Ziqiu wanted to know why they arrived early and whether there were any shortcuts. They had to take precautions in advance, otherwise they would be frightened to death if this happened a few more times.

I didn't expect Jiang Jiuniang to be so disrespectful and make it difficult for people to get off the stage.

Mrs. Hou felt that she was dressed plainly and without any jewelry on her head, so she went to the jewelry shop first.

Her plan was that Jiang Jiuniang probably didn't like these things very much, so she could just pick one or two at random to save money and trouble.

"Ma'am, you can choose whatever you want, and I'll give it to you as a gift!"

Mrs. Hou looked confident. She had brought enough money and she must coax Jiang Jiuniang well today.

"Mrs. Ji is so refreshing, so I won't be polite."

Jiang Jiuniang nodded and entered the jewelry store. Then her eyes lit up when she looked at the items in the store. They were all new and she liked them all.

Well, take them all.

"Pack it all up."

At this time, not to mention that the waiter in the shop didn't react, even Mrs. Hou thought she had heard wrongly.

"Ma'am, you mean, wrap everything up?"

The younger brother's eyes were shining, and his face was full of expectation, for fear that she would regret it.

"Ah."

Jiang Jiuniang nodded and turned around to see something else.

Madam Hou hurriedly stood in front of her and smiled awkwardly: "Why don't you buy it without trying it, madam?"

"Well, they all look pretty, no need to try them on. What's wrong, didn't Mrs. Ji say she wanted to give me a gift? Did I choose too many?"

Jiang Jiuniang's expression was a little innocent and confused, as if she was wondering why Hou asked herself this, wasn't this just the beginning?

Mrs. Hou put on a smile that was uglier than crying: "No, no, I just asked casually. I brought my wife out today just to pick out gifts. Madam can pick whatever I want!"

Just as he was talking, a man came in at the door, waving his handkerchief and saying, "Oh, what a coincidence, isn't it!"
