It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 428 [077] Rui Shuang's New Clothes
Aunt He was called the servant foreman, but her actual job was similar to that of a housekeeper. Her room was located on the first floor of the servants' hall, close to the entrance, so that she could receive visitors and manage daily affairs.

Aunt He’s tailoring skills are another highlight besides her job. She often makes clothes for children in the neighborhood for free, and her skillful hands and kind heart are widely praised.

Qin Jiandan and Mu Yue held Ruishuang's hands and were invited into the room by Aunt He.

"New clothes! Rui Shuang's new clothes!"

When they arrived at the fitting room, Ruishuang finally showed the anticipation and curiosity that a girl should have. Mu Yue, who had been worried that Ruishuang was only focused on the cake, breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt He's room is neatly arranged. The first thing that catches your eye is a multifunctional workbench, on which is displayed the perfect combination of cutting-edge technology and classic craftsmanship: a laser cutter and an automatic sewing machine stand side by side, next to them are self-healing material fibers and memory alloy zippers, while traditional tools such as scissors, needles and threads, rulers and thimbles are also available.

On the other side, a variety of fabrics in various colors and textures were neatly placed on the fabric rack. Several mannequins dressed in semi-finished products stood quietly by the side, as if waiting for the final gorgeous transformation. In the corner of the room, a spacious sofa for multiple people provided a place for guests to rest. Aunt He's own bed was not very conspicuous in comparison.

There were no family photos or souvenirs in the room, as Aunt He preferred to focus on the work at hand to forget the sad past.

The clothes that Wangyou brought back from the children's clothing store were temporarily placed on Aunt He's workbench. Not far away were the changing screen and fitting mirror.

Before entering the house, Mu Yue asked Aunt He and told her that Rui Shuang was afraid of mirrors. Aunt He did not ask for details and simply covered the mirror with cloth.

"Ruishhuang, I'll hand you the clothes one by one. Go behind the screen and change your clothes, then come out and show them to mom..."

Mu Yue was dazzled by the selection among the pile of clothes, but found Rui Shuang standing there and starting to take off his lapel sweatshirt.

"You are not allowed to take off your clothes here! Didn't I tell you to change behind the screen?"

Rui Shuang pouted: "Is it because Dad is here that it's not okay? Why not let Dad go out and kill people, so Rui Shuang doesn't have to go through the screen all the time."

Aunt He laughed so hard that her stomach hurt: "Although your father is not a good man, he doesn't kill people all the time. You should show your father how you look in your beautiful new clothes!"

"What's so good about it?" Rui Shuang was puzzled. "Beauty can't be eaten. Do you think that if I just change my clothes for Dad, he will treat me to cake?"

Rui Shuang really lacked common sense. In this world, being pretty really could be eaten. When Qin Jiandan was eating, if Mu Yue was sitting opposite him, he could eat two more bowls of rice than usual.

Qin Jiandan smiled and said, "As a father, of course I like to see my daughter wearing beautiful new clothes. After you try on the clothes..."

"The birthday cake left in the refrigerator can only be eaten in the evening." Mu Yue interrupted Qin Jiandan as if she could read his mind, "Children can't eat sweets all day long. It's not good for their physical development."

Mu Yue, a patient suffering from lemon soda poisoning, does not seem to be qualified to say this, but her biochemical prosthetic eyes need to consume extra sugar, causing her behavior of drinking soda to be more like refueling a car.

"Try this first." Mu Yue and Aunt He rummaged around on the workbench and quickly handed a printed dress to Rui Shuang.

Rui Shuang lifted up the dress and looked at it, just like the "old man on the subway looking at his phone" emoticon from the Earth era:

"Why are there so many complicated straps? How do I wear this?"

Mu Yue said, "I'll help you get the dress. Take off your sneakers first. There's a blanket on the ground so your feet won't get dirty... Hey, I didn't ask you to take off your shorts too!"

Ruishuang pulled up his shorts again with a depressed look on his face: "Mom has so many requirements for Ruishuang, why doesn't she just help Ruishuang put on the clothes?"

It seems that Mu Yue wants to cultivate Rui Shuang's independence and autonomy, and also wants to know to what extent Rui Shuang lacks common sense.

"Okay, mom will help you put it on." Mu Yue had no choice but to pull Rui Shuang's hand and squeeze sideways behind the screen.

Qin Jiandan was unable to help, so he sat down on the multi-person sofa diagonally opposite the screen, just like a man with nothing to do while shopping in a mall. It was quite comfortable.

The conversation between mother and daughter and some rustling sounds could be heard from behind the screen. Since metal sound-absorbing screens were commonly used in Huanshi City and Mu Yue deliberately spoke in a low voice, Qin Jiandan outside could not hear clearly.

Soon Rui Shuang came running out, making Qin Jiandan's eyes light up.

The colorful printed dress made Rui Shuang look like a blooming spring flower. She walked briskly with her bare feet, leaving behind a series of silver bell-like laughter on the carpet:

“Hahahaha – this dress is terrible!”

"Eh? Bad?" Qin Jiandan, who was sitting on the sofa, was stunned. "Isn't it pretty?"

The girl's innocent big eyes were suddenly filled with murderous intent. Ruishuang leaped suddenly and pounced on Qin Jiandan like a cheetah hunting its prey.

The skirt was lifted high, undulating like waves. Rui Shuang pulled out a long hair without knowing when, and pulled it straight with the black silk anti-cut gloves on both hands, pressing it directly against Qin Jiandan's neck. Under the effect of the imprisonment ring, Rui Shuang could not evoke supernatural powers, so the hair in her hand was just an ordinary hair.

Even so, as a martial artist, Qin Jiandan was unwilling to be easily defeated by his daughter. He regarded the hair as a sharp object that could not be touched, and did not block the hair, but used a grappling technique to wrap around Rui Shuang's wrist.

Rui Shuang quickly changed his moves and kicked Qin Jiandan's abdominal muscles, causing him to bounce back. The feeling of bare feet was very different from the feeling of wearing sneakers before. Qin Jiandan actually had a chance to catch his daughter, but he deliberately let her go.

"Look, Ruishuang's movements have slowed down!"

At this time, Mu Yue came out from behind the screen, and Rui Shuang complained loudly to her mother:

"The skirt is not good. My butt feels cold. It's not convenient for fighting!"

Mu Yue and Aunt He had chosen many dress styles before, including sleeveless, short-sleeved, long-sleeved, printed, denim, cotton... but they were all rejected by Rui Shuang's words.

Qin Jiandan said: "What Rui Shuang said makes sense. We are not an ordinary family. When you choose clothes, Mu Yue, you can't just consider whether they are pretty or not, you also have to consider their practicality in combat."

Mu Yue held a white gauze skirt in her arms with some disappointment: "You have to keep a few skirts anyway. Some styles can only be worn when you are a little girl. It would be too childish to wear them when you grow up."

I don’t know if Mu Yue is talking about me. Because I cherished a certain dress so much and didn’t want to wear it, I couldn’t wear it anymore after I grew up...

Rui Shuang was very dissatisfied with the printed dress she was wearing. She tugged at it left and right, wishing she could take it off right there. Qin Jiandan touched Rui Shuang's head:
"Mom asked you to choose a few dresses, so just listen to her and keep a few. Although it's not very convenient for combat, it's... very suitable for assassination! You put on a dress and pretend to be an ordinary little girl, so the target will let down his guard against you!"

"Yes, that makes sense!" Rui Shuang thought about it and then became happy. "It turns out that Mom even considered the concealment of the assassination. Rui Shuang was wrong about Mom!"

Mu Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to go with the flow and choose a few dresses for Rui Shuang. Since she no longer considered their practicality in combat, she chose light and soft ones.

Rui Shuang then tried on clothes other than dresses, and she clearly preferred lightweight, easy-to-move-in styles, like sportswear and shorts, which were similar to her original outfit.

Wangyou also picked up some hair accessories from the children's clothing store, but Ruishuang often pulled out his hair during battle, and hair accessories might interfere with this behavior, so he completely rejected it.

The weather was getting colder, and Ruishuang obviously lacked long-term planning. Mu Yue picked out a few coats, hoodies, leggings and trousers for her daughter, but Ruishuang was unwilling to try them on and kept saying that she wanted to go back to her room to eat cake.

Finally, Ruishuang changed back into her own set of lapel sweatshirt, shorts and sneakers.

"Rui Shuang is used to wearing this set. Are all the clothes in the house made by you, Aunt He? Can you make a few more sets according to the ones Rui Shuang is wearing?"

Qin Jiandan laughed: "There are several sets of the same clothes stuffed in the closet, just like me!"

Aunt He was very happy to meet Rui Shuang's request: "Good girl, come here and let me see your clothes. I've measured the size before..."

"But it takes time to make clothes. You can wear other clothes for a while. I will send the clothes to you when they are finished. How about that?"

Mu Yue was reluctant to trouble Aunt He, but there was nothing she could do since Rui Shuang insisted.

"Well, thank you Aunt He for your help. I checked the fabric of Rui Shuang's clothes, and the police department has similar fabrics. Let me get the fabric back before we start."

Aunt He took something off the mannequin and wanted to put it on Rui Shuang's wrist. She explained to Mu Yue:

"This is the bracelet I got from the temple. The Buddha will surely be able to dispel Rui Shuang's evil spirit..."

“No! This is a trap!” Ruishuang pulled her hand away with a big reaction. “Mom also said she wanted to give Ruishuang something, but it turned out to be a collar that restricts my superpowers! The bracelet doesn’t look good, and the collar doesn’t look good either. Mom should help Ruishuang take them off quickly!”

Rui Shuang talked about the Ring of Confinement over and over again, but it did not soften Mu Yue's determination.

"No. When can you interact with others normally and take off the collar? Aunt He promised to make clothes for you, and you haven't thanked her yet."

Rui Shuang pursed her lips, and under her mother's gaze, she bent down to Aunt He:
"Thank you Aunt He for helping Rui Shuang with her clothes. Rui Shuang won't care about the bracelet trap... Ah, why did mom hit Rui Shuang on the head?"

"You don't like the bracelet, but you can't say it's a trap, right?"

"Obviously, it's a trap..." Rui Shuang covered her head with her hands. At this moment, she seemed to have really turned into an ordinary little girl who knew nothing about the world. "Mom and Aunt He both set a trap for Rui Shuang to fall into. Dad is still the best. At least Dad didn't let Rui Shuang wear strange things, and he also invited Rui Shuang to eat cake!"
