As soon as the husband left, Xia Ning was blocked at the door by Brother Cheng.
"Young Master, what's the matter?" Xia Ning came with the wife's approval, so she didn't panic when she saw that he was deliberately making things difficult.
"What did you say to your mother that she allowed someone like you to study with me?"
Seeing Xia Ning's calm look in front of him, Brother Cheng became even more angry.
His mother had become quite alienated from him these days. He originally thought that the days ahead would be long and he would have plenty of time to make his mother like him.
I didn't expect Xia Ning to show up now...
Thinking of this, his eyes darkened.
"Madam, you are just a pity child. I know that young master, you are lonely studying alone, so you asked me to study with you."
Brother Cheng's eyes are so straightforward, how could he not know what the other person is thinking.
Immediately follow the path of kindness and kindness.
Mei Yunli, who was still angry at first, felt a little proud after hearing this, and looked at Xia Ning's humble look.
"I think so. How could my mother let someone like you come to this place to study for no reason? Since you came here to study on my behalf, shouldn't you listen to me?"
There was a look of confusion on Xia Ning's face. The boy next to Brother Cheng caught his eye and immediately threw a notebook in front of him.
"This is the young master's homework. The young master has other things to do in the evening. You can do this homework and don't be discovered, you know."
The boy bared his teeth and showed a fierce expression.
"Yes...yes, Master, I will do it well."
Seeing Xia Ning's recognition, Brother Cheng snorted, with disdain on his face.
Then he left the study swaggeringly.
After the person left, Xia Ning lowered his head and looked at the notebook in front of him. The expression on his face was difficult to see clearly in the dim light.
After studying with Wei Jingwei for a day, Mei Xiaoqin dragged her tired body to Ci'an Hall. When she entered the door, she heard Mei's mother say angrily: "Where's the young master? Why don't you see anyone after school?"
Ying'er, who was beside her, came up to her and said softly: "Perhaps he is in Zhuxi Courtyard at the moment. The young master and Miss Zhang are very close during these days. He often goes to her room to play."
"This bitch! Go and call the young master over! Even if you are close, it should be with the Wei family! What's the point of going to her yard!"
Ying'er got the order and hurriedly went to Zhuxi Courtyard.
She was already a little dissatisfied with Zhang Ruoruo in her heart. She was the most beautiful maid in front of the madam, but the madam said that if the time is right in the future, she will be raised as his aunt...
Walking to the entrance of Zhuxi Courtyard, Ying'er listened to the sound of giggling and laughing inside, but Ying'er walked straight in without announcing anything.
The smiles on Zhang Ruoruo and Brother Cheng's faces were frozen.
Ying'er's eyes widened.
What did she see?
The young master actually lay in the arms of that bitch Zhang Ruoruo with a look of admiration on his face. That was something that even the Wei family could not do.
How dare she!
"Master, the old lady asked me to call you."
Brother Cheng didn't realize the problem yet and said confusedly: "What did grandma call me for?"
"This slave doesn't know either."
"Oh, let me go then." After saying that, he packed up and walked outside.
Zhang Ruoruo was not happy at all. Ever since she came to Mei's house, everyone treated Brother Cheng as an outsider. She was not allowed to interfere here and there.
And she never believed that Wei could treat her children well, so she couldn't be an ignorant person no matter what.
"I'll go with you too. The old lady might still need me to serve her."
Ying'er didn't refute.
The three of them came to Ci'an Hall all the way.
Mei's mother was sitting at the table with a sullen face. When she saw Brother Cheng showing a smile, she saw Zhang Ruoruo also coming.
His expression looked like he had eaten a fly.
"Why are you here?" Mei's mother said impatiently.
Zhang Ruoruo was humiliated by such a straightforward statement, and said with a blushing face: "I thought it was almost time for you to have dinner, old lady, so I wanted to come and serve you."
Mei Mu snorted coldly.
He took Brother Cheng's hand and asked carefully.
What did you learn today and how is the gentleman you invited?
He answered them one by one, and Mei's mother felt relieved.
Brother Cheng was left in Ci'an Hall for dinner, and Zhang Ruoruo could only serve him humiliatingly.
Her wrists were very sore as she was being ordered to hold this and pick up that.
He just kept looking at Brother Cheng, but unfortunately he didn't notice at all.
After serving Mei's mother, she finished her meal and washed herself.
She finally stopped and was able to rest.
Mei Xiaoqin fell in love with Zhang Ruoruo from that day on, and kept ordering her around during the meal.
He gave up only when he saw that she was so tired that sweat was dripping from her forehead.
Mei Mu took a sip of tea before returning to the topic.
"Brother Cheng, remember to pay your respects to your mother when you go to school. She was worried a lot about you being injured and looking for your husband. You should be close to her."
Brother Cheng put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, glanced at Zhang Ruoruo's aggrieved expression, and then swallowed hard, "I understand, grandma."
Mother Mei smiled and nodded. She glanced at Zhang Ruoruo's red eyes and pretended she couldn't see them.
In the evening in Zhuxi Courtyard, Zhang Ruoruo took out those ornaments and catechu cups to vent his anger until the pieces were scattered on the ground.
Guizhi looked at the things on the ground and sighed helplessly.
This is already the second time this month.
My mother, who was in charge of the house, told me last time that everyone has a lot of things in the house. If you replenish them once, they will be gone.
"Miss, you can just smash these things, but if you let the old lady know..."
If he didn't mention it, Zhang Ruoruo would be so angry that his chest would rise and fall, and he would slap the table hard with a "bang" sound.
"Old lady! She is so powerful now. If she hadn't begged my parents for help before, she would have starved to death. Now that she is so powerful, she actually alienates my son and me! If my brother is really in love with the Wei family... ..”
As she spoke, she covered her mouth and cried bitterly.
Guizhi wanted to say something else, but she saw a pair of green boots stepping in. She quickly shut up and retreated.
"Why are you crying?" Mei Yuanqing saw her leaning on the table, her shoulders twitching, so pitiful.
"Brother Yuan Qing! You are back!"
Zhang Ruoruo no longer ignored Mei's mother's warning and immediately threw herself into Mei Yuanqing's arms and hugged him tightly.
Mei Yuanqing asked softly: "Why are you crying? But who bullied you?"
Zhang Ruoruo was just about to tell what the old lady had just done, but in the blink of an eye he thought that Mei Yuanqing would be unhappy with it, and said: "I...I'm not worried about our son. It's important for him to study. You I know I can't disturb you as you've been busy, but I'm really worried about Wei..."
Mei Yuanqing patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Ms. Wei is a generous person. In addition, she is the mistress of the Mei family. It is her responsibility to teach Brother Cheng to be good to him. You don't need to worry."
"I have also inquired about that gentleman. Although he is not as good as the famous teachers in Beijing, he is also a good personality and has already obtained the title of scholar. The Four Books and Five Classics are not a problem."
Zhang Ruoruo couldn't read a single Chinese character, and Mei Yuanqing couldn't understand even more what he said.
She pursed her lips. When talking about the Wei family in the past, Mei Yuanqing would always sneer at her with disdain.
Why is it different now...
