Mei's mother had just been ridiculed. Others would naturally be ashamed now, but she was different. As soon as she saw her daughter's hint, she threw these thoughts behind her, cleared her throat and said, "We came here specially today. Actually, there’s one more thing.”
Listening to her tone, everyone present knew that the topic was coming.
Wei Jingwei lowered her eyes to drink tea, with an unconcealable sarcasm in her beautiful eyes.
"Um, Jing Wei's eldest aunt, I heard that your son Fei Rong is not engaged yet, right?"
Impatience flashed in Mrs. Ye's eyes, thinking that some aristocratic family in Beijing had sent her to be a lobbyist. She said in a calm tone, "We haven't gotten engaged yet."
"I have an idea. You said that our two families are considered in-laws, and you are Jingwei's direct aunt. My Xiaoqin is not young now, and she is very well-behaved. If she marries into another family, I'm absolutely worried, and we don't like ordinary people." After a pause, her face became more eager, "So I came today to say that if our two families get married, Wouldn't it be a God-given marriage for Xiaoqin and Feirong to get engaged? My Xiaoqin will definitely be filial to you in the future. "
After Mei Mu finished speaking, her face still looked a little proud.
The Liu family members looked stunned.
What?
Did they hear it correctly?
Liu Feirong, the eldest son of the Liu family, is completely different from the Mei family in terms of looks, talents, education, or other things. How did they have the nerve to speak?
Ye's face turned even darker. She originally thought that Mei's mother was just persuaded to take the opportunity to become a lobbyist and sell favors. I didn't expect that she would be so confident and want to marry her unruly daughter to the Liu family!
Fei Rong's future wife is the clan daughter-in-law of the Liu family!
After thinking about it clearly, she said in a deep tone, "Mrs. Mei, are you kidding me?"
Mei's mother waved her hand, "I never joke. I just think that such a good marriage should be settled early to avoid long nights and dreams. My daughter has even been approached by many aristocratic families in Beijing, and I have rejected them."
Mei Xiaoqin even lowered her head shyly.
If she didn't know him, Wei Jingwei would almost believe it.
"Let me put it bluntly, Mrs. Mei, do you think your daughter is worthy of my status as the wife of the Liu family?"
Ye had never seen such a thick-skinned person before, so he spoke out without hesitation.
"My daughter is a good housekeeper, taking care of all the household affairs and managing the servants. If you don't believe me, you can ask that girl Jing Wei," Mei's mother said hurriedly.
"So you think the clan wife only needs a housekeeper? Then you have underestimated this position." Ye said sternly: "I, the clan wife of the Liu family, must first know the situation of each family in the capital, the exchanges of favors, The relationship between each family and how to manage it requires more than just doing some household chores. Not to mention, you also need to know some other things, which cannot be explained in a few words. "
Ye was jealous of Wei Jingwei in her heart, fearing that if she refused too harshly, Mei's mother would turn around and make things difficult for her.
Who knows, Mei's mother said without shame: "You just need to learn these things. My Xiaoqin is very smart. She has been able to learn everything since she was a child. Now she has been studying housekeeping with Jingwei for more than half a month, and she can do it herself." She has taken care of all the family affairs. Now she is in charge of the family."
She talked about it with gusto, but ignored everyone's expressions.
Ms. Zhang, who was sitting at the top, looked even more ugly. She held back her anger and said in a cold voice: "I didn't know that your Mei family still had such a rule. The mistress was not allowed to take care of it, but she actually let a person do it. The sister-in-law who has not left home comes to take care of the house. She has only learned to be a housekeeper for half a month, so she thinks it is enough? There are countless women from aristocratic families in Beijing who started learning from a young age. Only when they get started on their own, do they need more exploration to master it. Your daughter is quite capable, and she was able to master it in a short time." She paused, and her tone became a little angrier, "I think my family is not worthy of someone as smart as her."
"I also think that my son Feirong is not worthy of your daughter. Please choose someone else."
"you...."
"Mother." When Mei Xiaoqin saw that Mei's mother was about to lose control of her temper, and was about to use the country's curse words, she quickly stopped her, and then said with an expression on her face that she was not crying: "I know that in the past, I My ignorance has caused many elders to have a lot of prejudices, but I have changed it now, and I am trying my best to learn even if I don’t know how to do it. Since I met brother Feirong last time, I fell in love at first sight. I hope you will Fulfill me."
She said and knelt down with a "pop".
It shocked everyone.
All the women in this capital are tactful and subtle, but who would have expected that such a strange person would dare to express his love in front of everyone.
Ye's chest heaved violently with anger, and the expressions on the faces of the two mother and daughter became even more disdainful.
"It's useless for you to kneel down. You can't be Feirong's wife if you behave like this."
There was a lot of noise in the room, and Mrs. Zhang also had a headache from being talked about. She hurriedly patted the table and said, "Old Mrs. Mei, let's drop this matter today. If you are a guest in our house, you will naturally be welcome. If you still want to mention this matter, Son, please come back."
Seeing that there was no room for this matter, Mei Xiaoqin, who was still full of illusions, looked as if she had been greatly humiliated. She stood up and stamped her feet, "Do you think your Liu family is some kind of hot cakes? If it doesn't work, just forget it." No. I'm too lazy to be a guest."
With that said, she picked up her skirt and trotted out.
Mei's mother also chased her daughter all the way.
Everyone was shocked again.
When Mrs. Zhang finally calmed down, she sighed, turned to look at her granddaughter's pretty face, patted her tender hand reassuringly, and said in an incomprehensible tone, "It's hard for you, the Mei family..."
So unbearable.
Of course Wei Jingwei knew what she meant, but after her previous life, she was much more receptive now.
This is not the only embarrassing and shocking thing about the Mei family.
She shook her head and smiled, "Grandma, don't worry about me. They have always been like this. Today I wanted to persuade them not to come. They are not in the right family, but you also know that they will not listen to me. Fortunately, I just came to see my grandmother."
Ms. Ye also breathed a sigh of relief, relieved to know that there was no intention from Wei Jingwei.
Otherwise, if she relied on Zhang's favor and guilt, she might actually be able to make this happen.
"Are the two new ones in your backyard still at peace?"
She knew that Mrs. Zhang was afraid that she would be bullied.
"Grandma, don't worry. My granddaughter can handle all these things." She smiled charmingly, "Is it possible that my granddaughter is useless in grandma's heart? She can't handle this kind of thing well."
