The maid guarding the gate has been doing her duty since Chen Anning told her not to let anyone into Qingzhiyuan without her permission.
Therefore, Mrs. He Yibo, who was accompanied by a large number of people, was stopped outside the gate without any surprise.
Mrs. He Yibo's expression was very ugly.
When she arrived at Chen's house yesterday, although she was asking for help, her words and deeds showed the arrogance of being condescending.
She originally looked down upon the Chen family.
After what happened to Chen Ziling and Zhao Zhijie, she looked down on the Chen family even more.
The result was as she expected. Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Qiu agreed to her request without any hesitation after seeing the gold and silver silks and satins she brought.
Chen Anning alone rejected her.
Of course, Mrs. He Yibo didn't take her rejection to heart. She expected that her rejection was just a show done by their family, and its purpose was nothing more than to take the opportunity to extort more money.
So she came here today and brought twice as much gold, silver and silk as yesterday.
Although she was not ashamed of Mrs. Chen and Mr. Qiu's rejection, she had already expected it.
She has long heard about Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Qiu's insatiable greed.
Coming to Chen's house for two consecutive days is already a sign of self-degradation.
She didn't want to lower her status for a third time, so as soon as Mrs. Chen refused, she brought people to Qingzhiyuan without hesitation.
In her opinion, Chen Anning was able to expose Chen Ziling's plan at the Peony Banquet, which showed that he had some brains.
Since you have a brain, you should know what is enough.
However, the two maids blocked her without asking for any reason, causing the pride she had worked so hard to maintain and her evaluation of Chen Anning to be reasonably intelligent to collapse in an instant.
"Go and report to your second young lady quickly, our wife has something to do with her!" The old lady who was waiting in front of Mrs. He Yibo raised her chin slightly and ordered with a cold face.
Normally, with the mother-in-law's status and tone, the two maids guarding the door would have been so frightened that they would have gone into the house to report her.
But although the emperor had not announced the marriage he had just granted to Xie Xun and Chen Anning, everyone in Qingzhiyuan had already heard about it.
He Yibo Mansion is good.
But compared to Chen Anning's current status, it is far behind.
Although the two maids were just gatekeepers, they also considered themselves to be respectable people, so naturally they did not want to listen to her look down upon others.
One of the maids clasped her nails disdainfully and asked, "I wonder what your wife has to do with our second lady?"
"How presumptuous!" the mother-in-law scolded, "What does our wife want from you, the second lady? When will it be your turn to ask?"
Another maid sneered twice, "It's not our turn to ask questions, so you go find someone who can ask questions and report back to Miss Second. What are you doing to us?"
The mother-in-law laughed angrily, "Is this the upbringing of your second young lady?"
"Our second young lady said," Hexiang, who was ordered out by Chen Anning after hearing the commotion, bowed her hands to Mrs. He Yibo, then looked into the mother-in-law's eyes and said calmly, "What kind of person should I treat?" , what kind of upbringing should be used. When grandma scolds them, shouldn't she reflect on herself first? "
The old lady glared angrily: "Old lady, I have served so many ladies and ladies, but no one has ever dared to say that I am uneducated and ask me to reflect!"
He Xiang said calmly: "Then grandma can start from now on."
"Very good," the mother-in-law suppressed her anger and mocked, "You two young ladies are really very good!"
He Xiang proudly puffed up her chest and said, "If our second young lady wasn't so good, why would Mrs. Uncle beg to come to her again and again?"
The mother-in-law stopped talking immediately.
Mrs. He Yibo's expression also turned uglier.
After Hexiang clasped her hands and saluted her again, she turned around and scolded the two maids who were guarding the door: "I told you earlier that the second lady didn't have a rest last night. Even if there is a big event today, you are not allowed to disturb it. How do you do things?”
The two maids immediately begged for mercy: "It's not that we wanted to argue, it's just that they were so irritating. They clearly wanted to ask for something, but they still raised their nostrils and shouted. We were not convinced, so we argued with them for a few words."
"If you're not convinced, go and argue," He Xiang said with a cold face, "If the dog bites you, will you bite it back?"
The two maids lowered their heads and said, "Sister Hexiang, we know we were wrong."
After listening to several people criticizing Sang and Huai, the mother-in-law stepped forward to teach her a lesson.
Mrs. He Yibo took two deep breaths, suppressed the anger surging in her heart, held her hand, took two steps forward, and said with a forced smile: "It's us who disturbed Miss Chen Er's peace, please ask the girl to do it for you." I apologize to Miss Chen Er. In addition, I would like to ask you to pass the message to me, saying that I have something important to discuss with her, and please take some time to see me."
It can be said that Mrs. He Yibo lowered her stature very low.
He Xiang was not a tough person at first, so it was only after hearing Chen Anning's words that she mustered up the courage to say what she said. Seeing that she had calmed down her condescending attitude, she didn't want to be embarrassed any more. After leaving a sentence of "Please wait for a moment, Mrs. Uncle," she went back to the house to report.
A little bit.
He Xiang came back and respectfully invited: "Mrs. Uncle please."
After he and Mrs. Yibo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they slowly followed her into Qingzhiyuan.
Qingzhiyuan is not big.
The scenery isn't necessarily that good either.
But the servants walked briskly and performed their duties, and everything seemed orderly and full of vitality.
This is a scene that cannot be seen at Mrs. Chen's Yongfuyuan.
In other words, the entire Chen family, except Qingzhiyuan, could not see such a scene.
Mrs. He Yibo suppressed the surprise in her eyes and followed He Xiang into the main hall.
In the hall, Chen Anning was lazily leaning on a soft chair. When she came in, she had no intention of getting up to greet her.
Mrs. He Yibo had already been taught a lesson at the door. Although she was not happy in her heart, she took the initiative to sit in the chair next to her and asked with concern: "I heard that Miss Chen Er did not rest well last night, but her body What’s the reason for the discomfort?”
Chen Anning helped Chun Rui's hand to sit up, took the tea from Chuntao, glanced at the arrogant mother-in-law outside the courtyard door, and said slowly: "It's a minor thing to be unwell. I can't sleep well. The main reason is that I'm not sleeping well." It's annoying, but they want to plot against me."
"I have been studying pharmacology with my grandfather and grandmother in the past, and I have never experienced anything like this. I tried to ask my father, mother or grandmother for advice, but they couldn't explain it."
"It just so happens that Madam Uncle is here. Can you please give me a lesson?"
Mrs. He Yibo forced a smile and said: "Logically speaking, I will not offend others unless they offend me. But in practice, it also depends on the situation. For example, whether the person who calculated Miss Chen Er was bewitched by others. If he was bewitched, he would always There is still room for forgiveness.”
Chen Anning raised his eyes, "I haven't asked Mrs. Uncle why she took the trouble to come to me."
In her clear eyes, Mrs. He Yibo shook hands for some reason, feeling guilty for some reason, and then replied: "I came here for Ying'er, and I also asked Miss Chen Er to see that she was bewitched by Miss Chen. , and for the sake of having been taught a lesson, I can spare her one more time."
Chen Anning lightly lifted the lid of the tea, "So, Mrs. Zhao Er and my sister conspired to destroy me, and Madam Uncle knows about it?"
