Chapter 253 The show begins!
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Xiaoqiu, who was shivering while holding the porridge, and a look of sarcasm flashed across her face. Do these people really think that she, Mu Jiaojiao, is a fool?
It's really unreasonable to find such a person to deal with her!
At this moment, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. After all, the enemy's methods were too shameful, and it was not fun to play with him.
"Okay, get up and serve porridge to this princess!"
Mu Jiaojiao had admired the little girl's guilty look for a long time, and after complaining about the methods of the person behind the scenes, she mercifully called the person up.
"Yes, thank you, Princess!"
Xiaoqiu felt relieved upon hearing this, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She began to bow and thank him, then stood up and respectfully placed the porridge on the table.
At the same time, she glanced over and saw that Mu Jiaojiao had long since taken off the gorgeous attire she wore on her wedding day. She was wearing a crimson dress and was looking at her with her hands on her back, smiling.
When Xiaoqiu saw this, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. Her hands trembled and she almost knocked over the bowl of porridge.
"Princess, please forgive me!"
Xiaoqiu hurriedly held the bowl and then knelt down to apologize to Mu Jiaojiao.
"Your name is Xiaoqiu, right?"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the little girl kneeling in front of her, her eyes moving around as she asked in a lazy and casual tone.
Xiao Qiu heard Mu Jiaojiao call out her name accurately, and replied in a panic: "Yes, your servant... Your humble name is Xiao Qiu!"
"Don't be nervous, this princess just wants to ask you for a favor!"
Mu Jiaojiao curled her lips and smiled, and the words she spoke were as gentle as water, just like the big bad wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood.
When Xiaoqiu heard Mu Jiaojiao say this, she became even more panicked, but she still answered with gritted teeth.
"Princess, this servant, this servant, will obey your orders!"
"Don't worry, you can definitely do it!"
As soon as Mu Jiaojiao finished her charming words, Xiaoqiu fell straight to the ground in front of her, and Huaizhu, who was smiling, stood beside her.
"Change her!"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at her mischievous expression and shook her head. She didn't know who this girl with the pearl in her arms had learned this from. She was becoming more and more sinister.
Mu Jiaojiao naturally never looked for reasons from her master. She just took a wedding dress from the side and threw it to Huaizhu and gave him instructions.
"Hehe! Okay, Princess. I promise to complete the mission!"
Huaizhu girl smiled and quickly changed Xiaoqiu into the wedding dress. Then she covered her with a red veil and changed into Xiaoqiu's clothes herself.
Mu Jiaojiao smelled the porridge that Xiaoqiu had brought earlier, and poured the porridge into the empty wine jug that did not contain wedding wine.
As for why the wine pot is empty, it was Jiang Jin who specially arranged it this way. Mu Jiaojiao was pregnant and couldn't drink alcohol, so putting a wine pot there was just a good omen!
When everything was ready, Huaizhu had just helped Xiaoqiu sit up on the big red wedding bed when Mu Jiaojiao saw a hole in the window paper and a pipe of cigarette blew in.
Mu Jiaojiao held her breath, took out two pills from the space, fed one to Huaizhu, and after taking one herself, she gestured to Huaizhu and hid in the corner behind the screen. Huaizhu pushed Xiaoqiu, who was holding her, onto the bed, and sat down on the ground, covering his face with his hands and pretending to faint.
After a while, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a masked man tiptoed in. He saw the bride fainted on the wedding bed and the maid lying unconscious on the ground.
He looked around vigilantly and found nothing unusual. He quickly walked forward, picked up Xiaoqiu, who was wearing a wedding dress on the bed, and disappeared into the room.
Mu Jiaojiao held her breath behind the screen. After everyone left, she slowly walked out, patted Huaizhu, who was pretending to be a corpse, and called out in a playful tone, "Wake up!"
To be honest, Mu Jiaojiao felt that this girl's acting skills in portraying a corpse were top-notch, and there were no flaws at all.
"hey-hey!"
"Princess, this guy is too slow. I almost fell asleep!"
Huaizhu jumped up, smiled coquettishly at Mu Jiaojiao, and complained.
“It’s really slow!”
Mu Jiaojiao was furious seeing her like this, but she still agreed with what she said.
"Dark Three!"
Then he seemed to have thought of something and called out to the outside of the yard.
"Your subordinate An Er pays his respects to the princess."
As soon as Mu Jiaojiao finished speaking, An Er, dressed in black, appeared in the room, knelt on one leg and saluted Mu Jiaojiao, and explained why An San, who was supposed to appear, did not show up.
"An San followed the previous thief over!"
After hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao understood. An San was lively and must have taken An Er's job and went to the front to eat the melon.
"Well, let him be, and you go down too!"
"Let's go and see Xiao cub!"
Mu Jiaojiao then straightened her crimson clothes and spoke lazily.
"Okay, Princess!"
Huaizhu looked very excited, she was really looking forward to the upcoming show!

Meanwhile, in the front yard.
In the joyful atmosphere, everyone was having a great time, and both the guests and the hosts were having a great time.
Jiang Yu and Jiang Qi, who were sitting in the guest of honor seats, both toasted Jiang Jin. Jiang Jin did not refuse them today and accepted all the toasts.
As for Jiang Yi, he had been humiliated by Jiang Jin before. Even though he knew that his fourth and seventh brothers had plans, he left angrily after Jiang Jin's wedding ceremony.
Jiang Jin was then pestered by Xi Yanzhi and Jin Baoer to drink several more glasses of wine. Jiang Yu and Jiang Qi at the host and guest table looked at each other, and drank a glass with smiles in their eyes.
The little maidservant who was waiting by the table with a green sachet hanging around her waist saw this and cleverly filled the two princes' glasses with wine. While pouring the wine, she shook off the white powder in the cracks of her fingernails.
After watching the two princes finish the wine in their glasses without any doubt, he curled the corners of his mouth where no one could see.
After about a cup of tea, the little girl walked gently to Jiang Qi's side and said softly, "Your Highness, you are drunk. You need to change clothes and rest immediately."
Jiang Qi's previously clear eyes gradually became hollow when he heard this, and he murmured, "I'm drunk. Take me to change clothes and rest immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the servant from Prince Qi's mansion who was waiting behind him hurried forward to support Prince Qi, then glanced at the little girl beside him and asked her to lead the way quickly.
Upon hearing this, the little girl walked obediently in front, ready to take Prince Qi to the special guest room in Prince Jin's mansion to rest.
Jiang Yu, who was sitting at the table, saw Jiang Qi stand up and immediately thought of something. He quickly said to Jiang Qi, "Fourth brother, I seem to be drunk too. Go sober up!"
Jiang Yu seemed to be really drunk. When he stood up, he lost his balance and staggered. The little girl who led the way happened to pass by him and quickly supported him. She also whispered in his ear: "Your Highness the Seventh Prince is drunk. Go change clothes and rest with Your Highness the Fourth Prince!"
After saying this, Jiang Yu's eyes, which were pretending to be drunk, gradually became confused, and he said, "Fourth brother, let's go change clothes and rest together!"
Afterwards, the two of them were supported by their respective servants and followed the little maid to the Yingkeju, a resting place specially prepared by Prince Jin's Mansion for princes and noble guests.
Jiang Jin, who was surrounded by a group of people and had been forced to drink a lot of wine, looked drunk, but his eyes were clear as he watched the two people leaving with an ambiguous expression.
Looks like the show is about to begin...
