Three days later, we received the imperial decree to bestow Su Jinshu to the Third Prince as a concubine and to have the wedding next month!

She waved the decree in front of me, "Sister, the Third Prince promised me that after we get married, he will take me to the military camp. When he achieves merit, he will request to divorce you by decree and let me become the Third Prince's consort."

"Oh, good luck to you! Don't engage in plagiarism once you become a consort."

After this incident, the reputation of the women of the Su family was tarnished. Yesterday, the clan leader came and even said to send Su Jinshu to the mountains to become a nun.

If it weren't for this timely imperial decree, her three thousand strands of hair might have already scattered with the wind.

"You!"

"Hmph, what are you so arrogant about! The Third Prince no longer likes you. Once I help the Third Prince ascend to that position, I will send you to the lowest brothel to be the lowest-ranked prostitute!"

I was uninterested; these time-traveling women are getting worse with each generation.

I still remember the first time-traveling woman I encountered ten years ago. Not only was she a special agent, beautiful and smart, but she also had a clear mind. Men were just mission targets; the most important thing was to build her own career. In the end, she became the wealthiest person in Da Jing and lived a happy life with her male lead.

And now, this one not only looks ugly but also has a poisonous mind. There is no trace of the education she received for over a decade. Indeed, education cannot filter out scum.

"Miss, something bad has happened. Our shop is surrounded by people, saying that their young lady's face got ruined after using your cosmetics. The magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture is here with people to arrest you for interrogation."

Before she could finish boasting, her personal maid rushed in anxiously.

"What? That's impossible. I used the best rose petals to make the rouge. How could it ruin someone's face? Could it be a mistake!"

Before she could figure it out, the bailiffs from Jingzhao Prefecture rushed in, "Seize her!"

"Let go! I am the Third Prince's concubine. Aren't you afraid of losing your heads?"

The bailiffs ignored her cries.

In this capital city, if you throw a brick from the third floor of Fuman Building and it hits ten people, nine and a half of them are officials. If they were timid, how could they work? Furthermore, those who serve as bailiffs under the magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture are not ordinary either. Almost everyone has relatives in official positions.

"Ah, the air in her mansion is much fresher without her."

"You!"

The formula for Su Jinshu's rouge was indeed flawless, but she didn't understand the intricacies. She just gave the formula to the master, focused on collecting money, and that was it.

However, people have desires, and the employer was just a little girl who was easy to deceive.

"Miss, I heard that among those whose faces got ruined, there is even the Empress Dowager's mother. Will this implicate us?"

I shook my head, "No, she is just a guest in the Su family. To this day, my mother has not acknowledged her identity."

According to the laws of this dynasty, the name of a concubine needs to be chosen by the lady of the house, and her status needs to be recorded in a special book with the lady's unique seal to be considered a member of the family and to receive the family's resources, property, or dowry.

As for those in the outer chambers, the requirements are even stricter. They need to serve tea and water to the lady of the house continuously for forty-nine days, and then kneel in the ancestral hall for eighty-one days before completing the first step of entering the family.

Although Su Jinshu lives in the mansion, her mother has not even had a cup of tea served by her, so she is not yet a member of the Su family.
