Chapter 39 Jiang Mianmian Wants to Play the Role of a "Wicked Mother-in-Law"
Furthermore, although Shen Xiujin is the son of a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, he is still the legitimate second young master of the Marquis's mansion!
Given his status and position, his future wife, even if not a daughter of a prestigious family, should at least be a woman of equal social standing and background.
But no matter what, it would never be him. Su Qianqian, a lowly farm girl, and with such an ordinary appearance, could never catch his eye.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiujin felt a surge of anger. He couldn't help but glare fiercely at the older brother and sister-in-law hiding behind the big tree.
Good heavens, this was witnessed by that so-called "mother," and even this unscrupulous couple came to watch the spectacle.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiujin felt a surge of anger, and his face grew increasingly gloomy and unpleasant.
ah ah ah...
It was bad enough that I embarrassed myself in front of my "mother," but how could I embarrass myself in front of them as well? Just thinking back to that extremely embarrassing scene!
Shen Xiujin couldn't help but turn red with anger. He really couldn't stay any longer and just wanted to escape this socially awkward situation as soon as possible. He really wanted to cover his face like Su Qianqian. It was so embarrassing, wasn't it?
To avoid becoming the "male lead" his mother talked about, Shen Xiujin returned to his courtyard, washed up quickly, and didn't even have time to eat breakfast after getting ready.
He hurriedly instructed his servants to inform his elder brother, and then he ran out of the house.
Therefore, when Jiang Mianmian noticed that Shen Xiujin hadn't come to eat yet during lunch, she asked in confusion, "Huh? Why hasn't the second brother come over yet?"
Upon hearing this, Li Tingxue, who was sitting to the side, felt a sudden tightness in her heart, and a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of guilt flashed across her eyes.
Fearing that her mother-in-law would notice something was amiss, she quickly lowered her head, pretending to be focused on eating, and casually replied, "Oh, my second brother has something to take care of outside."
However, only she knew in her heart that she and her husband had mobilized all the maids and servants in the house just to watch the excitement.
They even went so far as to personally monitor that "famous scene," but accidentally "saw" the person involved run away. Anyway, she would never tell such an embarrassing story.
Shen Xiuyan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a calm smile, and he said in a calm tone, "Yes, that's right. My second brother just sent someone to say that there has been a sudden change in the business situation, and he urgently needs to go and deal with it personally."
The matter was so urgent that I didn't even have time to inform you, Mother, before I hurriedly left the manor.
After listening to the couple's explanation, Jiang Mianmian gently shook her head, muttering to herself:
[Oh dear! What a pity, why did he leave the manor so soon? I was really looking forward to seeing more of his complicated relationship with the female lead!]
[Great, now that the male lead is gone, we won't get to see any of the exciting plot developments. Ugh, how boring!]
Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but sigh softly, a hint of disappointment showing on her face.
Sigh! I wonder when it will be my turn, this so-called wicked mother-in-law, to take the stage and perform? Speaking of which, when it's my turn, how am I supposed to portray this character?
Should I portray the wicked mother-in-law as even more vicious and cruel, or to tone it down a bit, only showing a seemingly kind exterior but a treacherous and cunning interior? Oh dear, I need to think about that carefully.
Jiang Mianmian became increasingly engrossed in the role, developing a strong interest in the "evil mother-in-law" she was about to play.
In order to play the role of "evil mother-in-law" well, she even stayed up all night to read several picture books about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships!
She carefully studied the passages describing the wicked mother-in-law and repeatedly pondered her expressions in order to enhance her perfect portrayal of the "wicked mother-in-law." Now, even she herself felt that she was simply terrifyingly "wicked" at this moment!
So, Jiang Mianmian glanced up at Shen Xiuyan and Li Tingxue opposite her, and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh in her heart; Sigh! Look at the things between these two, they're like overripe melons, there's nothing new about them!
At this moment, she was eagerly anticipating seeing the exciting "melon" from the second brother's side; that would be truly fascinating!
Ee ee ee...
At this moment, Jiang Mianmian suddenly felt an urge—to run straight to the second brother's office to find him. Maybe she'd even stumble upon some surprising and delightful scenes!
After all, judging from the usual plot development pattern of the male and female protagonists, even if the second brother doesn't come home often, the male and female protagonists are destined to keep running into each other.
In this way, the lady of the house will naturally be able to meet with the second son quite often.
As for where the two of them would meet, she figured it would be either at home or in one of the shops run by the second son!
Anyway, the male and female leads are bound to be attracted to each other, so it's not surprising that they meet no matter where they are!
However, Jiang Mianmian had no idea exactly where Su Qianqian would appear.
But that's alright, she has plenty of time! As long as she goes to each shop one by one, she doesn't believe she can't catch them.
Hmm, thinking this way, Jiang Mianmian's mind became more and more active.
As Jiang Mianmian's thoughts continued to emerge, the two people sitting opposite her, who had been eavesdropping, instantly perked up when they heard those words.
The two exchanged a quick glance, then chuckled in unison, thinking to themselves, "Hehe, this is going to be good! This is going to be a big scoop!"
At this moment, Jiang Mianmian casually said, "Hey, eldest brother? After we finish eating, could you give me a detailed list of all of the second brother's shops?"
Sigh! My second son has been in business for so long, I, as his mother, plan to go and patronize his shop to support his business!
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiuyan nodded without hesitation and replied solemnly, "Alright, Mother! Don't worry, I'll arrange it for you in a bit!"
However, deep down he thought to himself, "Oh dear, poor second brother, this time your older brother really can't help you. You'll have to fend for yourself!"
But... hehe, the thought that the 'unlucky' one is the second oldest makes me inexplicably feel a little happy!
