Mei's mother sat at the top with a gloomy face, clutching the armrests on both sides with her knuckles turning white, and looked at Zhang Ruoruo fiercely.
"The three of you have been so busy today, why don't you go down to freshen up and rest, and wait for my son to come back in the evening before we talk about anything else." After speaking, Mother Mei turned around and ordered the maid next to her to take the three Zhao family members away.
Zhao Cai obviously didn't want to leave yet, his eyes were firmly fixed on Yingge, making Yingge's face turn pale.
Zhao Gushi pulled her son and came closer and said: "Go and rest for a while first. This old lady probably has something to say in private. Come with me quickly, that beautiful girl is right there. Are you afraid of running away?" , Mom must make her yours..."
"Okay, Mom, you said this." After saying that, he rubbed his hands with a smile, and followed his parents away. When he came to the corner of the door, he couldn't help but look back at Yingge, letting Mei Mu's His face darkened again and again.
After the three people left, Ci'an Hall returned to silence.
"thump."
Zhang Ruoruo immediately knelt on the ground, looking pitiful as if he was about to come out at any moment.
"Old lady, I really have nothing to do with that squire. That aunt is cruel and wants to sell me as a concubine. How can I agree?"
After she finished speaking, she glanced angrily at Wei Jingwei, who was sitting quietly beside her.
"I don't know if Madam hates me so much that she went through all the trouble to find the Zhao family."
Wei Jingwei raised her eyelids and said softly: "What Aunt Zhang said is interesting. My good intentions turned into deliberately bullying you when I came to you? I don't have the ability to predict the unknown. How can I know what's going on?" Your aunt and others are like this." He paused and sighed, "It's really hard to be a good person."
"you!"
Zhang Ruoruo was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently. Although she knew in her heart that Wei could do this for her own good, she really couldn't say anything unpleasant.
Mei's mother waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, it's obviously you who has the problem today." After saying that, a flash of disgust flashed in her eyes, "If I had known that this was going on in your family, I wouldn't have said anything. I can’t let my son accept you.”
"Old lady..." Zhang Ruoruo's eyes widened, his eyes were red and swollen, and tears were pooling underneath.
I felt ashamed and annoyed.
My aunt, who was ashamed of herself, didn't save any face for herself, and she could still say such things even though she was here. Didn't she know that it was difficult for her to do what she said?
She didn't like herself when she was in Zhao's house. She yelled and killed her all day long, saying that she was a freeloader and had no use for her little hooves...
She also wanted to keep herself and her son.
But who is Zhao Cai? That was a well-known gangster from all over the country. Who wouldn’t frown when he saw it? If it weren't for the bad reputation and the fact that the Zhao family was also poor, it would have been so late that there would be no marriage even at the age of twenty.
The more Zhang Ruoruo thought about it, the sadder she became, and her tears fell on the bluestone floor.
But there was a little maid at the door saying, Aunt Ruan is here.
Mei's mother finally had a smile on her face and ordered her to be invited in properly.
"Oh, Ying'er, why are you here? You are very heavy now, so you should take a good rest in the yard." Mother Mei looked at her big and pointed belly and smiled so hard that her eyes were closed.
Aunt Ruan still bowed to Mei Mu in a very polite manner, then sat down on the chair and looked at Zhang Ruoruo with some surprise.
"What's wrong with Aunt Zhang? She's crying so sadly."
Mei's mother snorted coldly, "It's okay if you don't tell me."
Yingge knew that the old lady was not talking, so she took the initiative to pick up some things she could say and said everything.
Aunt Ruan frowned when she heard this, but she felt very relieved in her heart.
With such a natal family, look at how Zhang Ruoruo still looks so proud. It's best to let the old lady and the father get bored. Needless to say, brother Cheng, with such a mother, it's hard to say whether he can continue to be so favored in front of them as time goes by.
As she thought this, some concerns arose in her mind.
After sitting for a while, he left.
.........
Inside Hongxia Pavilion.
"Miss, I saw that the other one had an idea today. After sitting down for a while, she got up and left. The slave girl saw that when she got to the door, the maid next to her went to another place, I guess. ...." Su'er didn't finish her words, but Wei Jingwei understood everything.
She picked up the comb and gently combed her hair, and said slowly: "If the Zhao family comes, it will probably be another mess in the future."
"Who says it's not the case? When I looked at the three Zhao family members today, my eyes turned around. It seemed like they were not honest." Lian'er snorted softly, brewed a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of her.
"It's rare for me to see you hate someone so much, and it's rare today." Wei Jingwei picked up the tea and teased Lian'er cheerfully.
She is the one with the best temperament in Hongxia Pavilion. She doesn't blush with anyone and always looks cheerful. The little maid below also likes her and will tell her anything.
In addition, Lian'er is generous with her money and doesn't keep any delicious food to herself.
"Miss, you haven't seen that Zhao Hu's son, Zhao Cai, can't get rid of his eyes on Sister Yingge. This servant is worried about her. Although she is a maid in the old lady's house, overall she is still This servant, if Zhao Cai has his thoughts, it will be difficult for her as a woman."
Wei Jingwei nodded slightly, that was indeed the truth.
But even if she wanted to reach out, she couldn't reach Ci'an Hall. Mei's mother must have been used to Yingge, so she would not just pull her out and marry someone casually.
What's more, it was obvious at a glance that Zhao Cai was not a good person.
Turning off the lights at night, Wei Jingwei fell asleep soon after going to bed.
As a result, something happened early in the morning.
Su'er took the clothes and helped her put them on. Wei Jingwei's crow-green hair was draped smoothly behind her. She put her hands on her knees and her eyes were a little hazy. It was obvious that she had just woken up and had not recovered yet.
"My good lady, I heard something this morning, oh, it was really unpleasant."
"what's up."
She yawned and put on her outer thin shirt. Lian'er brought hot water, towels, and a set of toiletries to help her wash up slowly.
"Last night, do you know which courtyard the three Zhao family members lived in?"
Although the Mei Mansion is not big, it is definitely not small. When they first moved, the Mei family did not have much money on hand, so Wei Jingwei paid part of the money to get this big house now.
"That yard?"
Su'er's face was slightly mocking, "I live very close to the servant's residence, Tingtaoyuan."
There is a wall between Tingtaoyuan and the place where the servants live, so they can't disturb each other. It is also far away from the serious masters of the house, so this arrangement is reasonable.
