Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 53 The Second Miss's Thoughts
When Zhang Sui saw the second lady Zhen Mi laughing like that, he coughed awkwardly and stopped talking.

It is obvious that although the second young lady is young, she is a very intelligent woman.

Other people might believe these fabricated words of mine, but the Second Miss obviously wouldn't.

In that case, it’s better not to say anything.

Miss Zhen Mi saw that Zhang Sui was silent, so she looked down at him and said jokingly, "Why, you don't want to continue to quibble?"

Zhang Sui forced a smile and said, "Second Miss, just tell me what you want me to do!"

“Everyone is smart.”

"You're not going to kick me out just because of this, are you?"

"Besides, if you really wanted to chase me away, you would have done it earlier. You wouldn't have covered it up for me just now, saying that it was the Spring and Autumn Annals."

"I know that no one will believe it."

"Another thing is that beautiful women are often kind-hearted."

"The second young lady is extremely beautiful and at first glance, she is a kind-hearted person."

When the second lady Zhen Mi heard what Zhang Sui said, she no longer had the intention to confront him.

Pulling out another picture book from her sleeve and throwing it on the stone table, the second lady Zhen Mi said, "I have seen your two pictures, both are good."

“Draw me one like this.”

“It needs to be painted more beautifully.”

Zhang Sui glanced at the stone table.

At a glance, he recognized what the other picture book was.

It was an animation that he had drawn for his wife and given to the Second Master Zhen Yan.

Zhang Sui asked, "May I ask what the Second Miss wants to draw this for?"

The second young lady Zhen Mi then turned her eyes away from Zhang Sui, looked at the flowers and plants in the distance and said, "My second brother still needs your assistance. There are some things that I don't need to hide from you."

"The governor of Jizhou wants to take my mother as his concubine."

"Of course, you should have guessed it. Taking my mother as a concubine was fake, but plotting against my Zhen family was real."

"Although my Zhen family has fallen into decline, we still have some reputation in Jizhou."

"My Zhen family has countless followers, servants, and maids."

"The land and other assets are innumerable."

"Not to mention a lot, it's enough to support Jizhou Mu's army of 100,000 for half a month."

"The people of Chu are innocent, but they are guilty of possessing the treasure."

"My Zhen family has such a huge fortune, but there is no man to support it. It is inevitable that it will be coveted by others."

"In the past two years, many people have proposed to my mother, wanting to marry me and gradually erode my Zhen family."

"Whether it's me or my mother, it's the same principle."

Turning around, the second young lady Zhen Mi looked at Zhang Sui and said, "Mother looked for you last night."

Zhang Sui was stunned for a moment, but still nodded honestly.

Although the lady wants to avoid suspicion.

However, as the second young lady of the Zhen family, Zhen Mi was smart and powerful, so how could she not know?

I can only admit it honestly.

Second Miss Zhen Mi said: "I can guess that my mother came to you because of your performance this time and wanted you to assist my second brother."

“But you can’t put all your eggs in one jar.”

"Otherwise, if you miscalculate, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Not to mention, my second brother's personality is really not the type to support the Zhen family."

"And the mother is the backbone of the family."

"If she remarries, especially to the governor of Jizhou, my Zhen family will be completely finished."

"So I thought, if possible, I could marry into Jizhou Mu's family in my mother's place."

"Whether it's marrying Jizhou Mu as a concubine."

"It would be better for her to marry the son of Jizhou Mu as her legal wife."

"Sacrificing me can also buy some time for the Zhen family."

"To the Zhen family, I am far less important than my mother."

"I just hope that this little time can allow mother to train my third brother." "Or, my sister-in-law can give birth to a capable nephew."

"Or -"

"You really have the ability to assist my second brother in supporting our Zhen family."

Zhang Sui: “.”

He felt very uncomfortable.

The Zhen family, from the madam to the second young lady, and then to the fifth young lady, are all thinking about how to save the Zhen family and keep it going.

The only person who should have supported the Zhen family was the second son Zhen Yan, who did not have the ability or awareness to do so.

Second Miss Zhen Mi said, "I need you to draw me a moving picture like this."

“Draw me as beautiful and lively as possible.”

"The kind that can attract men at first sight."

"In the future, if my second brother still cannot accomplish anything with your assistance, and the governor of Jizhou comes to force my mother, I will have someone take this painting to see the governor of Jizhou and use me to replace my mother."

Zhang Sui heard what Second Miss Zhen Mi said, and sighed, "Okay, Second Miss, I'll do my best."

It seems that we still have to follow the trajectory of history.

Actually, this is not a bad idea.

In history, the second lady first married Yuan Shao’s second son Yuan Xi, and then married Cao Cao’s son Cao Pi, and then gave birth to his son Cao Rui.

Relying on these layers of relationships, the Zhen family became increasingly prosperous.

As the head secretary of the Zhen family, I can enjoy the best of life.

There is no need to be frightened.

When the second lady Zhen Mi saw that Zhang Sui had agreed, she called a maid over and brought writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone for Zhang Sui.

This time the paper is no longer the yellow paper like the one in the box under Captain Zhen Hao’s bed.

But a thin piece of white paper.

Very smooth.

It’s a bit like the blank draft paper that Zhang Sui was given during the college entrance examination before he traveled through time.

Zhang Sui touched the white paper, and his originally gloomy mind became brighter. He said, "Is this Saeki paper? Isn't it too extravagant to use this kind of paper?"

He remembered how valuable Saeki paper was during the late Han Dynasty.

It's the kind of thing that money can't buy.

According to historical records, Cai Yong, the father of the famous talented woman Cai Wenji in later generations, was a great Confucian scholar in the late Han Dynasty.

He is well versed in poetry and classics and has a beautiful handwriting.

Many dignitaries asked him to help write some things.

Cai Yong only wrote to those who provided him with Saeki paper.

The second lady Zhen Mi was a little surprised and said, "You actually know about Saeki paper too."

"This Saeki paper is a rare commodity. You can't buy it even if you have money."

Zhang Sui recounted the historical records about Cai Yong and Zuobo paper.

Second Miss Zhen Mi: “.”

She doesn't even know!
This man was born in Yanmen County.

It seems that he was not lying before and he should indeed be a disciple of Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou.

Otherwise, how could one know such a secret thing?

All I can say is that he really has some skills.

Unfortunately, he is not the man of my family.

Looking at Zhang Sui, an idea suddenly came to the mind of the second lady Zhen Mi: If this man is willing to marry into the Zhen family and become her husband, then even if her second brother cannot support the Zhen family, with him around, it seems that things will not be too bad. If she and he have a child, then he can only do everything he can to support the Zhen family.

Watching Zhang Sui leave the stone table and take a step to pick branches, the second lady Zhen Mi's eyes fell on Zhang Sui's butt.

Although he was still a little thin, he was much better than the first time I saw him.

If he gains some more weight, he will become a strong man.

His skills in bed aren't too bad either.
