A Stern Mistress from the Ancient Past Becomes the Cannon-Fodder in a Wealthy Family

First Time On the Street

Yuan Yuan was frightened by Shi Lu’s roar and stammered, “She left. Madam Shi said that wearing wet clothes is not comfortable. Coincidentally, the clothes the assistant bought for her arrived, so she went to the hotel to change.”

So he had acted so seriously just now for nothing? She hadn’t watched it at all?

Shi Lu felt that he was about to have a heart attack from anger.

Director Chen saw that Shi Lu’s expression was getting worse and worse, so he went forward and asked carefully, “Mr. Shen, are you still filming the next two scenes?”

“Yes!” Shi Lu gritted his teeth.

…

After Yuan Shu took a hot shower in the hotel and changed her clothes, she felt more comfortable.

“It’s all that kid’s fault.” Yuan Shu made a mental note.

The bodyguard had been waiting outside the door. When he saw Yuan Shu come out, he went forward and asked, “Madam, are we going home now?”

Yuan Shu thought about it, but rejected him. After she came to this era, she hadn’t seen what the streets looked like yet. She wanted to take the opportunity to stroll around today.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly. There was a developed commercial pedestrian street near the film base, so Yuan Shu strolled on the street slowly. Everything was novel.

She recalled that when she was young, she followed the crowd to admire the lanterns at night on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Later, she got married and became the head of the household. Her every move represented the honor and disgrace of the entire family, so she never experienced the joy of that time anymore.

Only now did Yuan Shu realize that she no longer had to bear such heavy shackles.

Although she was the wife of the Shi family, not many people could recognize her just by looking at her face.

Yuan Shu looked around on the streets and bought things from time to time. She had learned about electronic payment from television dramas and short videos. She couldn’t help but marvel at how convenient it was. She didn’t have to bring cash everywhere and worry about it being stolen.

In the distant southern hemisphere, another phone vibrated.

“Your card ending with 025 spent 3.00 yuan on August 13th at 13: 03 PM.”

“You spent 27.00 yuan on August 13th at 13: 11 PM.”

“You spent 11.00 yuan on August 13th at 13: 35 PM.”

…

The brightness of the phone had been adjusted to the lowest, but the screen that lit up from time to time was still eye-catching.

“Boss, your bank card was swiped?” Eagle glanced at the screen and was dumbfounded by the series of reminders.

“Shut up.” A cold male voice sounded. Then, someone picked up the phone, hid the reminders, and threw the phone aside.

Shi Lu was very cooperative in the afternoon. His outstanding performance made Director Chen cry. As Director Chen sent Shi Lu out of the entrance of the film studio, he wanted to praise Shi Lu again.

“Are you done filming?” Yuan Shu couldn’t help but ask when she saw that the impatient Shi Lu was still being pestered by the director. She was afraid that he would send Director Chen flying with a punch in the next second.

Shi Lu and Chen Sheng turned around and saw the smiling Yuan Shu. She was holding two ice creams in her hands. They were pink and were probably strawberry-flavored.

She was no longer dressed imposingly like in the morning. Instead, she had her long hair tied up and was wearing a white shirt with a pleated skirt under it. Her high heels had also been changed to a pair of cute Mary Janes. She looked vivacious and youthful, like a high school student.

Yuan Shu had a very fulfilling afternoon.

There was everything on the commercial street, from food, drinking, drinks, to clothes, shoes, and makeup. When Yuan Shu was shopping in the mall, she was stopped by the counter lady, who helped her put on makeup and tie her hair. In the end, she bought lipstick, eyebrow pencils, and tried on a few clothes in the clothing area.

After leaving the mall, they arrived at the snack street. Yuan Shu ate a lot along the way. In the end, Yuan Shu was almost at the entrance of the film city. When she saw Shi Lu coming out, she bought two ice creams.

She had originally planned to have one for herself and Shi Lu, but she didn’t expect Director Chen to be here too, so Yuan Shu could only hand the ice cream to them.

“Yes, yes.” Chen Sheng hurriedly took the ice cream and took a bite.

“It’s all thanks to your help. If only things could go so smoothly every day,” Chen Sheng couldn’t help but lament. In the next second, he saw Shi Lu’s unhappy gaze.

“Madam, you’re here to bring Mr. Shen Lu home, right? Then go quickly. I’ll go back to the set and keep an eye on things.” With that, Chen Sheng ran away.
