Yinggeer in the room stopped shaking immediately, but her beautiful eyes could not hide the tears.
With a shrill voice, she shouted at Zhao Cai: "I will never marry you until I die."
Zhao Cai was stunned when he heard this and opened his mouth to curse: "You stinky bitch, wait until I go back and take you back to see how I treat you! How dare you, a maid, to look down on me! You deserve a beating."
Mrs. Zhao Gu also spat on the ground, pointed her finger at Yingge and scolded, "What a shameless thing! My son has taken a fancy to you because his ancestors have accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes. You are just a slave. You still want to be your own master?" .”
Yingge's face turned red when she heard the words, she closed her eyes and pretended not to hear, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
Although the maids around her usually had quarrels, when they saw Yingge's miserable condition, no one was not sad. They were all waiting for Mei Yuanqing to say something fair and not let Yingge follow him.
Mei Yuanqing was in a dilemma. One was his mother's capable maid, and the other was the difficult Zhao family. In the past few days, he had known about the difficulties of the Zhao family, and now as long as he could send them away properly, he could get rid of this matter.
It doesn't matter if I give up a beautiful maid, but my mother...
After thinking for a while, he didn't say anything, opened the curtain and walked inside.
Mei's mother was leaning against the couch with the support of other maids. When she saw him coming in, she quickly grabbed him and asked, "What's going on?"
Mei Yuanqing had no choice but to tell everything about the Zhao family and their requirements.
"This Zhao family is so greedy! A country boy with mud legs actually dares to ask you, an official, to give him money!" She snorted coldly, "After all, it's all Zhang Ruoruo's fault. How many things have she gotten into since she came home? You are worse than Mrs. Wei now than you were before. It’s not your mother who is talking about you. Mrs. Wei is your serious wife after all, and she will be able to help you in the future. Why can’t you be more sober? ? Then what’s so good about Zhang Ruoruo?”
Mei Yuanqing lowered his head and said nothing.
It is not that he has no regrets in his heart now. He likes Zhang Ruoruo, but he does have regrets after paying a lot of price. In addition, he is not not angry at all about the Zhao family's affairs.
Brother Cheng heard the two mentioning his mother from the side. He clasped his little hands tightly and listened to the conversation between his grandmother and father with a pale face without saying a word.
The two talked for a while before they realized that Brother Cheng was still there. Mother Mei coughed awkwardly and stretched out her hand to greet Brother Cheng, "Come here. Grandma wants to talk to you."
Brother Cheng took two steps forward and reached the front, then refused to move again.
In the past, grandfather and grandson would sit on the couch and talk affectionately. How could Mei's mother not know that he was unhappy?
"You should know something about the Zhao family, Brother Cheng."
Brother Cheng didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded very honestly. The affairs of the Zhao family have become such a mess in the house, and he can't even if he doesn't want to know.
The conversation among the servants these days revolves around the Zhao family.
Not to mention, the Zhao family are relatives of his mother, so he naturally paid more attention, only then did he realize that the three Zhao family members were so unbearable...
Brother Cheng understands in his heart that his grandmother already disliked her mother, and now that this has happened, she probably dislikes her even more...
But that was his mother, and he really didn't want to see her suffer. As for Wei...he is not completely emotionless now.
It can only be said that the two sides are in a dilemma.
"Since you know, grandma will tell you straight away that the Zhao family is just like your own mother and will not be able to help you in the future. You should be smarter. Since you are recorded in the name of the Wei family, then Just treat yourself as her son, don't always be like your mother, unable to distinguish the important from the important..."
When Mei Yuanqing saw that Mei's mother wanted to speak ill of his mother in front of the child, he quickly stopped her, "Mom, please stop talking. Brother Cheng is still young, and he will gradually learn to be smart in the future."
Mother Mei glared at him, her children are all debts! She couldn't stop this son no matter what, so she could only start with her grandson.
Men can't understand women's twists and turns, why can't Mother Mei also understand it?
Zhang Ruoruo has a big heart! If she is given the opportunity to climb up, I don’t know what will happen next.
The topic turned back to the request made by the Zhao family. Mei's mother frowned and said, "This Yingge is a good person. She always serves me respectfully and does her best. She is not young anymore. I I originally thought that after two years, I would release her, marry a steward, and still work in our house and serve me. But now..."
Seeing his mother's hesitation, Mei Yuanqing reminded: "Mom, the Zhao family has opened this door. If we don't give Yingge, I'm afraid we won't be willing to give up. Now the family doesn't have much money, so we are waiting for others." It will take several more months to make progress, and we won’t be able to get more out of it.”
Mei's mother felt pain in her chest due to being choked, wondering why a good maid of hers had broken.
He waved his hands impatiently, "Okay, okay, I don't know. Let Yingge follow."
After saying that, she pulled the quilt and lay down, not even looking at Brother Cheng when he called her.
Brother Cheng looked at Mei Yuanqing with aggrieved eyes.
"Okay, let your grandma rest. She's not feeling well right now. You'll be fine if you come back in a few days." Mei Yuanqing pulled her son out and comforted her softly.
Brother Cheng nodded and went out.
When they walked to the door, the three Zhao family members were still standing there waiting for a reply. When they saw him walking out, they were just stunned and regarded him as the little master of the yard.
However, Mrs. Zhao Gu looked at Brother Cheng's back with confusion and muttered: "That kid just now, do you think he looks a bit like Zhang Ruoruo?"
Zhao Cai was so full of songs that he couldn't even hear them. He said impatiently, "What does it look like? I asked about it when I came in. There is a child of the Wei family in this house." He curled his lips and said, " Then Wei is a mother who doesn't lay eggs, and the child was adopted from somewhere else. Mother, you are old, so you are probably blind."
Zhao Gu was very unsure. When her son said this, she threw it away.
In Ci'an Hall, Yinggeer cried so hard that she couldn't help herself. Although she thought she had done her best in serving Mei Mu these days, Mei Mu really couldn't leave her for a while.
But she also knew Mei Mu's cold nature.
I still feel very unsettled.
Mei Yuanqing walked out, her heart in her throat.
"I'll have the one hundred taels taken to the yard for you later. As for Yingge'er, I also told my mother. She said she would let her go with you later."
