Mrs. Xu followed Shen Yunyao back to the room and was about to say a few words to her daughter when she saw Hanqiao come in holding a letter and said: "Madam, the concierge has received a letter for you."
"Believe? What letter?" Xu's heart tightened as soon as she heard the word "believe", and she quickly snatched the letter from Hanqiao's hand.
When she saw the same envelope as before, Mrs. Xu's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she instantly lost interest in talking to Shen Yunyao.
"You go back to your room and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. Wait until the old lady's anger subsides. If you cause any trouble again, let alone me, even your father won't be able to protect you!"
After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she ordered: "Hanqiao, take Yunyao back to her room and beat the people in her room. No one is allowed to let her do anything nonsense again. I won't let this happen again next time." I will never let them go again.”
Hanqiao took the order and followed Shen Yunyao down, leaving Xu alone in the room.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then opened the envelope with mixed feelings.
As she expected, this letter was sent by Zhao Haijun again.
In the letter, Zhao Haijun urged her to fulfill her promise to give him a house as soon as possible and asked her to meet at Shangzhuang Tea House in three days.
Although it was not written explicitly in the letter, it was revealed between the lines that Xu was asked to prepare the house as soon as possible, complete all the necessary procedures, and hand it over to him directly when they meet in three days.
Mrs. Xu felt unhappy, but she couldn't help but think that Zhao Haijun was in such a hurry that he might leave Yongzhou Mansion after getting the things.
But she didn't want her family to get involved in this matter, lest the matter be exposed and spread out, which would be detrimental to her.
In this case, Grandma Guo will still have to be instigated.
Grandma Guo has been idle at home for half a year. Since the last time Mrs. Xu asked her to investigate the affairs of the Liu family, she has never been seen again.
In the first two months, Grandma Guo was worried about this and was worried that Mrs. Xu would forget her from now on.
If she hadn't been afraid of annoying Mrs. Xu and affecting her children's errands at the Shen family, she would have taken the initiative to find Mr. Xu.
Later, as time passed, Grandma Guo slowly and helplessly accepted the fact that Mrs. Xu might have forgotten her.
It's true to say that Mrs. Xu has never been short of people around her. If there is really a shortage of people, she won't be able to move.
Now that half a year has passed, Grandma Guo has long since given up on the fantasy of continuing to run errands for the Xu family and honestly stays at home to take care of her son's children.
She comforted herself in her heart that as long as her children's errands were still there, her family was already living a better life than the average family.
But the regret in my heart can't be dissipated by more than self-comfort.
That day, Grandma Guo was taking care of her grandson in her room. The two boys, who had just learned to walk and wanted to run away, were so energetic that she was so tired that her back ached at the end of the day. It was several times more tiring than serving people in the Shen Mansion. .
When she was first sent home, her daughter-in-law helped take care of her. Now that she has not been called by Xu for more than half a year, she has lost the respect she had at the beginning and left the children and housework to her.
When Grandma Guo was distracted, her little grandson climbed out of bed from behind her and ran out the door with his bare feet.
She hurriedly chased her out, only to see her daughter-in-law walking into the house holding her grandson.
Yes, a scene of noise is inevitable!
Aunt Guo sighed tiredly, waiting to be greeted by her daughter-in-law's nagging and dissatisfaction.
Who would have thought that today my daughter-in-law was smiling and said: "Mom, these two naughty boys must have exhausted you. Let me watch. There are guests at home. Please go to the main room to entertain them."
Grandma Guo was confused by her daughter-in-law's attitude. She was thinking, could it be her brother or nephew coming over?
When she walked into the main room and saw the person sitting there, she immediately became stunned.
"Husband, madam..." Nanny Guo's lips trembled, tears streaming down her face, and she knelt down directly in front of Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu only brought Hanqiao with her today, and she was dressed very low-key. She was a little surprised when she saw Grandma Guo.
However, after only seeing her for a few months, Grandma Guo seemed to be more than ten years older.
Seeing Grandma Guo like this, Mrs. Xu felt sour in her heart. After all, she was the old man who had been with her since she was a child.
"Mommy, get up quickly." Mrs. Xu motioned to Hanqiao to help Granny Guo up and got a bench for her to sit on. "What difficulties have you encountered at home recently? Why does Granny look so haggard?"
It stands to reason that as a close confidant of the Xu family, Aunt Guo should have saved a lot of money after arriving in Yongzhou Mansion, not counting the filial piety of her subordinates and the food she wanted from Naka, just from the rewards given by the Xu family. .
So after Grandma Guo was sent out of the Shen Mansion, although Mrs. Xu felt empty in her heart, she never worried about her life.
But when I came here today, I found that although the Guo family had their own courtyard, it was dusty and messy when they came in, and the furniture and items in the house were also very old. Looking at Grandma Guo's current appearance, it really didn't look like her. It's like living a good life.
Grandma Guo didn't want to complain to Mr. Xu, so she pulled her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and forced a smile to say: "It's not a problem. I've been helping my son take care of the children recently. Two boys who have just learned to walk have really exhausted me." .”
Mrs. Xu also has children. Although the people below take care of them, she is also aware of the naughty nature of children at this stage.
Moreover, she was pretentious at the moment and had no intention of thinking about anything else, so she did not continue to ask further questions.
Mrs. Xu turned to Hanqiao and said, "We didn't bring food here. You go and give some to the children at home."
Hanqiao knew that Mrs. Xu wanted to talk to Aunt Guo alone, so she immediately said with a smile: "Yes, I will go and divide it now."
After walking out of the main room with the snacks, the smile on Hanqiao's face disappeared immediately.
Looking at the two of them now, the person Xu trusts the most is Aunt Guo. If there is any important matter, she should discuss it with Aunt Guo behind her back.
As soon as she thought of this, the little guilt Hanqiao felt toward Xu immediately dissipated.
Everyone has to plan for themselves. It's not that she doesn't want to rely on Mrs. Xu, but that Mrs. Xu has never really regarded her as one of her own.
When Grandma Guo saw Mrs. Xu blowing away her Hanqiao, her whole body was like a plant that has found nectar after a long drought. She straightened her waist instantly and her face became radiant again.
She expressed her loyalty very actively: "This old slave has been following Madam for half his life. This life has long been Madam's. If Madam needs anything, just tell me."
"Well, now I can only rely on you to do this." Mrs. Xu took out the house deed and land deed from her sleeves, handed it to Granny Guo and said, "Hurry up to the government office and hand over this house deed and land deed." Transfer ownership to this person.
Aunt Guo looked at the word Zhao Jun written on the note. Although she didn't recognize it, it reminded her of another person with a similar name...
