The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 261, My Little Daughter Looks Even More Beautiful After Getting Dressed Up
Sheng Wanqiu climbed out of the soft bed and immediately started cursing. Qiuyi at the door and Xiahua on the roof were both annoyed by what they heard. "Miss has such a bad temper when she wakes up! She dares to curse even the emperor!"

When she first arrived in this world, Sheng Wanqiu was not used to wearing the clothes of this era. She always felt that the clothes were too cumbersome and hindered her movement.

Because she was in the countryside, she dressed simply. After all, not many families in the village were well-off, and there were plenty of girls dressed like her who dressed simply and neatly. Since they all had to do farm work, they would dress as neatly and neatly as possible when feeding chickens and ducks.

As her family's circumstances gradually improved, and in order to make it easier to go out and run errands—after all, clothes make the man, and one should be respectful of one's appearance before one's character—she made several sets of dresses that looked a bit complicated, but she rarely wore them.

This morning, she saw the dress her sister-in-law, Shao Qiuyun, had sent her last night. It was incredibly ornate and complicated, with three layers upon layers, making it quite cumbersome. Although the fabric was very light and thin, so it wouldn't feel stuffy even in summer, the sheer complexity of the dress was overwhelming. It would drive her crazy if she needed to use the restroom.

In the end, it was only with the help of two maids from the Qiao family that Sheng Wanqiu was able to get dressed. The main reason was that Xia Hua and the others usually stayed in the military camp and had no idea how to dress in such gorgeous clothes, so they had to ask the maids from the Qiao family for help.

"Haha, my little girl looks even more beautiful now that she's all dressed up! Let's go, the carriage is waiting at the door!"

When Sheng Wanqiu led Xia Hua and Qiu Yi to the front yard, Qiao Wenyuan arrived just then. Seeing Sheng Wanqiu's scarlet dress, which made her look even more charming and cute, he couldn't help but praise her.

"Leaving now? We haven't had breakfast yet. Is the emperor going to invite us to breakfast in the palace?" Sheng Wanqiu muttered, lifting her skirt.

She felt that the skirt was so long, and it wasn't as comfortable as her own dress. It was pretty, and the material was really good, but she didn't dare to walk, afraid that she would step on the hem of her skirt and fall flat on her face.

"What are you thinking? Here, take this, your sister-in-law made it, have it on the way! Hurry up and go!"

At this moment, Qiao Guanjie, dressed in official robes, walked over from behind and handed Sheng Wanqiu a meat pie wrapped in dried lotus leaves, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Dad, here you go, hurry up! We'll be late if we don't leave now!"

Qiao Guanjie didn't forget his father either, and stuffed him with a meat pie wrapped in a wrap, while he himself ate it in big and small bites.

So the three members of the Qiao family moved in unison, eating as they walked out, climbing onto the carriage one by one, and began their journey towards the palace.

"Son? Why is my neck so sore? How did I get home last night?"

Qiao Wenyuan naturally rode in the same carriage as his eldest son. Sheng Wanqiu was a young lady, and although she was his daughter, the strict separation between men and women had to be observed, so Sheng Wanqiu rode in the same carriage as Qiuyi and the others.

"Of course I came back with my little sister. But Father, you had too much to drink, so please go back to your room and rest after you got back."

"If your neck is sore, it's probably because your pillow is too hard. I'll have the housekeeper change it to a softer one for you to try." Qiao Guanjie lied without any hesitation. It wasn't that he was afraid to say that his younger sister had chopped him, but mainly that he was now alone with his father in a space.

If he says that he was drunk yesterday and refused to come back, and that his sister had no other choice but to knock him and Prince Wu'an unconscious and carry them back.

His father would definitely jump up and elbow him, but he wouldn't blame his little sister. He would only scold him for being a useless thing and for not knowing how to stop Sheng Wanqiu.
If you're going to kill someone, kill Prince Wu'an! Why kill both of them? So, to avoid getting beaten up, lying was unavoidable.

"Oh! Maybe so. Change it for me tonight. My neck is sore and uncomfortable. You eat quickly, and then massage my neck!"

"You're the head of such a large family, and you can't even take care of your father's daily needs. What can I say about you? You're so careless and don't care about me at all. You unfilial son!"

"Remember to wipe your hands after you finish eating, don't get oil on my clothes. You're so old and still so sloppy, tsk tsk tsk!"

Listening to his father's rambling, Qiao Guanjie was speechless. See? He knew it would turn out like this!
At this moment, Lu Heng, who felt the same way as Qiao Wenyuan, was also sitting in the carriage heading to the palace. He shook his head and swayed his body, then raised his arm and pounded the back of his neck. His neck had been sore since he woke up that morning, as if he had been hit on the head with a club. He hadn't felt this way in many years, which puzzled him.

"Shuxue, how did we get back last night? I remember we drank too much at Huamanlou, right? How did we get back? I'm getting a little anxious."

"Were we fighting last night? Why does my neck feel like it's been hit with a stick?"

Lu Shuxue's eyes darted around. She had wanted to ask this in the morning but hadn't dared to. She hadn't expected her grandfather to feel something was wrong with his neck so quickly.

She had planned to ride a horse in the morning, but her grandfather dragged her into the same carriage. Sure enough, her grandfather still asked her about it. However, she quickly came up with a way to deal with it: to shift the blame to her brother. Anyway, her brother didn't come today. Sorry, brother!

"There was no fight? You just drank too much, and then your brother carried you back."

"If your neck is sore, it's probably because your brother tripped and fell while carrying you back, right? He probably had a bit to drink, and it was dark last night, so he probably didn't see where he was going."

"Grandfather, let me massage your neck first, that will relieve some of the discomfort and make you feel less uncomfortable!" Lu Shuxue said as she began to massage Lu Heng's neck, her technique appearing quite skilled.

"I was wondering why my neck was so sore and uncomfortable. Turns out it was this kid's doing. He's such a grown man and he can't even walk properly. It looks like it's because his lower body is unstable. When we get back, I'll make sure he does four hours of horse stance to really improve his lower body!"

"My granddaughter is the best. She knows how to care for me. When we go to the palace later, your grandfather will definitely ask for a lot of rewards for you. Also, I must make sure your title of princess is confirmed, so that your father won't cause any more trouble!"

Upon hearing her grandfather's words, Lu Shuxue knew that she had managed to get away with it. The main reason was that her grandfather was concerned about his reputation. If she said that she had been knocked unconscious by Wanqiu yesterday, she was afraid that her grandfather would blame Sheng Wanqiu. In order not to cause trouble for Wanqiu, she could only shift the blame to her older brother, Lu Xiangyuan.
