The tight jaw also showed a somewhat unusual ruthlessness.
The veins on her forehead were visible, and there was a faint cold light in her eyes, which made people feel hairy all over.
"You have to think about it before you speak..." Zhang Ruoruo's words were almost squeezed out from his teeth.
The other people in the room, due to their different positions, may not be able to see the changes in her expression clearly, but only Brother Cheng who is closest to her can see it clearly.
My mother used to be gentle and kind, and she was kind to others. She always had a gentle smile on her face and spoke softly and slowly.
Why is it like this now?
The Zhang Ruoruo in front of him today didn't seem to be his gentle mother, making him scared, intimidated, and unfamiliar.
The hand that was originally stroking Zhang Ruoruo's back calmly withdrew it, with a complicated expression on his face.
He took a few steps back gently without attracting anyone's attention.
Guizhi, who was kneeling in the middle, had a panicky expression. After hearing Zhang Ruoruo's words, his eyes were dull for two seconds, and then he suddenly smiled softly.
It’s just how the laughter sounds and penetrates people.
Wei Jingwei frowned and looked at her condescendingly, reflecting on herself. Could it be that she had described the punishment so terribly just now and scared people crazy.
If so, then her original intention has been lost.
Guizhi suddenly raised his hand unexpectedly, pointed at Zhang Ruoruo and said with a smile: "Why didn't I say it? Guiyuan and I have been with you for so long, what kind of good life have we had? You are either scolding or beating us all day long. When you are happy, you will coax us to be sincere to you by promising things that will never be fulfilled, and then give you some things that you will eat and don’t need. Sometimes when you are unhappy, you just don’t treat us as human beings. Scold, I have long disliked you!"
Zhang Ruoruo was so angry at her words that her lips trembled and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
His face felt even hotter. It was as if his face had been ripped off by someone.
After Guizhi said these words, she relaxed all over. She flipped up a few strands of hair scattered around her temples, and continued with a sarcastic face: "She asked me to throw away that bag of coal. That day from Hong Kong After Xia Ge came back, she became very angry. So she came up with this idea, throwing away the remaining coal, to make people think that Mrs. Wei treated her very harshly, which made her sick."
Zhang Ruoruo sat on the bed and screamed: "You are talking nonsense!" She turned to look at Mei Yuanqing and cried: "Brother Yuanqing, she is talking nonsense. Guizhi has always been dissatisfied with me. She must have said it because she hates me. I have never done any of this."
Mei Yuanqing did not comfort her as usual this time, but sat motionless in his seat, looking coldly at Zhang Ruoruo who was sobbing in front of him, with very complicated emotions in his eyes.
This look almost made Zhang Ruoruo collapse.
Looking at her current state, Guizhi said in her heart that she deserved it, and continued to add insult to injury: "Actually, the coal in the room has always been enough, but Miss Zhang always likes to live a luxurious life. Now, even if it's not too cold, she still has coal all over the house. coal."
"Also, Brother Cheng is actually..."
If she fell into this fate, how could she, Zhang Ruoruo, be safe and sound?
Since you don't want her to have a hard time, then let's not have a hard time together.
Guizhi gritted her teeth and prepared to tell everything. The few words tightened the hearts of everyone in the room.
"Brother Cheng? What's wrong with brother Cheng?"
"Madam, I have to tell you about this slave girl no matter what..."
Suddenly a strong figure broke in, and without hesitation, he covered Guizhi's mouth, held her under her armpits, and dragged her out.
"Mommy? What do you mean?" Wei Jingwei finally saw the person clearly, her eyes sternly asked, and she asked.
"This is what I mean. This maid is spreading rumors to cause trouble. Let her continue to talk nonsense. I don't know what pickled words will come out of her mouth."
Mei's mother didn't know when she arrived. She stood at the door and looked around the room. When she saw Zhang Ruoruo, she glared at her, her brows furrowed into a deep "Sichuan" pattern.
Wei Jingwei bowed and said, "I don't know when my mother came. I'm sorry."
"We are all a family, and we don't care about these false etiquette. Madam Wei, Ruoruo is a soft-hearted person, and her parents died long ago and no one has taught her anything. If she does something wrong, you, my sister-in-law, can teach her well. That’s right. Don’t take it seriously.”
Mei's mother walked up to Wei Jingwei in a few steps, took her hand affectionately and chatted.
"What did mother say? If my sister is a distinguished guest, how can I care about it?"
After hearing this, Mei Mu's eyes narrowed with laughter.
He patted the delicate back of her hand with his hand and kept praising Wei Jingwei for his general generosity.
After chatting for a while, Mei's mother turned to look at Brother Cheng who was standing beside the bed in a daze, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's getting late today, why don't you go back with your mother? You have to study tomorrow. Woolen cloth."
Only then did Brother Cheng come back to his senses. He raised his eyes and looked timidly at Wei Jingwei who was standing not far away. He was slightly relieved when he saw that she had no objection at all.
"It's grandma."
After answering, he saw from the corner of his eye that Wei Jingwei had already walked out of the Zhuxi Courtyard with her maid, so he hurriedly caught up with her.
Zhang Ruoruo, who was still pretending to be soft on the bed, looked at this scene and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he called out: "Brother Cheng..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mei Mu's cold snort.
"Stop screaming." She walked to the chair and sat down, looking straight at Zhang Ruoruo like a ray of light, and slapped her palm heavily on the small table next to her, making a loud "bang" sound.
Ying'er beside her hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "Old lady, be careful not to hurt yourself. Your body is precious, don't worry about me when you look back." After she finished speaking, she glanced to the side secretly. Mei Yuanqing didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly being called upon, Mei Yuanqing glanced over subconsciously. Their eyes met, and Ying'er turned away with a blushing face.
"Jin Gui. If you hadn't come to tell me something happened here, I would have arrived in time. If I had allowed that maid to tell the story today, our family would have been turned upside down tomorrow!"
Mei Mu seemed to be really angry. She pointed at Zhang Ruoruo and scolded: "You bitch, I really shouldn't have been so kind as to let you into the house that day. Since you entered the house, there has been nothing." That's a good thing. Do you think that if you squeeze out the Wei family, the mistress of this family will have your turn?"
Seeing that he was going too far, Mei Yuanqing wanted to stand up and say a few words, but he remembered what Zhang Ruoruo's maid had just said.
After opening his mouth several times, he finally sat down and said nothing.
Zhang Ruoruo really felt that he was alone and helpless at this moment, and he was angry and anxious.
She was afraid that Mei Yuanqing would not like her because of this incident.
It's all Wei's fault, if it weren't for her...
Not so much anymore.
