    【Daddy Chapter 9】Pretend to be stupid

    “Daughter-in-law Zhong Xing,” Chu Jiao finished serving tea. The old lady held her hand but did not let go. Instead, she patted her hand gently and spoke affectionately, “I heard that Shen Liang made a mistake today? You just came in. If you are wronged, don’t hide it. If you tell me, grandma will definitely give you an explanation.”

    If you haven’t seen the plot, and she is still the original owner, you may be moved by the old lady’s kind face, thinking she is a good grandmother who cares about her and loves her.

    It’s a pity that Chu Jiao has been wary for a long time. To be able to force the male protagonist to bear the humiliation and bear the burden for so many years, Zhu’s scheming is not easy.

    These words were clearly meant to make the decision for her, but to others, it sounded like she was making a big fuss when she first entered her husband’s house. Behind the housekeeper was Mrs. Zhu. Didn’t this mean she was directly insulting Mr. Zhu and slapping her in the face?He is really unruly and ignorant.

    Chu Jiao smiled obediently.

    Better than pretending to be stupid?Then she’s good at it too.

    “Grandma, it’s just a small thing, please don’t punish the housekeeper again.”

    “I am just anxious to see you and your uncles and aunts today and give you the gifts that my brother Qian Dingzhuwan asked me to prepare. I couldn’t find the girl in charge of the boxes and cages at the moment, so I asked the housekeeper to make a trip.”

    The implication is that this is not unreasonable, but the filial piety of a granddaughter-in-law.

    “Oh, then I want to see what my nephew has prepared for us?” The old lady nodded cheerfully and waved the waiting housekeeper to leave.

    She was obviously more concerned about the dowry than finding a place for a servant.

    Chu Jiao clapped her hands, Cui Huan led several maids to come forward with plates and presented them respectfully.

    “This is a peach bat head noodle inlaid with gold and gemstones prepared for my grandmother. I wish you long life and good health.”

    The golden set on the tray is dazzling. It is dotted with sapphires, rubies, emeralds, pearls and tourmalines. The patterns are generous and decent, and the materials used are exquisite. At first glance, it is a rare masterpiece.

    “You’re all an old woman, how can you use such a fancy thing?”

    Although Zhu refused, the look in her eyes was one of love and satisfaction.

    “No way, grandma, you are still young. This set of hair and face is said to have been custom-made by the royal family in the Western Regions. My father asked many people to get it. When I saw it, I thought it was particularly suitable for you!”

    Who doesn’t know how to flatter someone? With just a few words from Chu Jiao, she made Mr. Zhu smile.

    He also gave the same expensive treasures to several elders in the hall, and successfully gained at least superficial goodwill.

    Chu Jiao did this favor very smoothly. Anyway, the dowry was not of much use to her. Now if she makes good use of it, it can have good results.

    After Chu Jiao distributed the gifts, she was about to say goodbye and leave, but she felt that a certain man kept looking at her with burning eyes.

    She looked back, but the man didn’t avoid her. Instead, he spoke in a serious and pretentious manner.

    “What, you don’t have a gift?”

    Although he didn’t care what it was as a gift from Lao Shizi, this girl obviously did it on purpose. She hadn’t looked at him since just now.Shen Zhen felt a little uncomfortable.

    Chu Jiao gave this man a blank look in her heart. He was so shameless and wanted a gift. If she were the original owner, it would be fine if she didn’t give him a shoe sole.

    “My father-in-law is joking,” she glanced at Shen Zhen with her full eyes, her eyes like a hook, “Now that Jiao’er has married into the third family, everything belongs to the third family. You don’t have to ask me for anything your father-in-law wants. You can just get it yourself.”

    Of course, this “everything” includes herself.This was a pun, clearly mocking Shen Zhen’s bestial behavior last night.

    Shen Zhen coughed twice in embarrassment. He couldn’t explain anything in front of others, so he had to protect the little girl’s face first.

    “What are you talking about?” He also noticed something wrong with this marriage from Chu Jiao’s words and deeds just now. “Your dowry is your own, you can do with it how you want. My Shen family,” he looked around at the people around him, said as if to warn, “I will not embezzle a woman’s private wealth, do you think so, mother, eldest brother and second brother?”

    “Haha, of course, of course.” Shen Zhichang smirked.

    “Humph, money is something external to the body.” Shen Zhimao looked disdainful.

    But the old god Zhu, who was sitting in the upper seat, did not answer. He just closed his eyes and said, “Pass the breakfast.”
