The lady in charge smiled and stepped forward: "Girl, why are you here in person? If you need anything, tell the people below to call and I will send it to you."
"My wife is busy and I don't dare to bother you. I'm here to get Madam's golden crab cakes. Unexpectedly, I saw a joke."
Zhao Ruoxia was a rare smart person. She knew that the person coming was not an ordinary servant, so she hunched her neck and hid behind Mrs. Zheng.
The lady in charge was afraid that the master would be blamed for not having enough snacks, so she quickly shied away the responsibility.
"I have already made the snacks and put them on the stove to warm. Who knew that the Lin family's wife sneaked into the kitchen last night and ate them all."
Just like a starving ghost reincarnated, not even half of it was left. If it weren't for the Xie family's rule that food ingredients cannot be left overnight, she doubted that Zhao Ruoxia would even dare to stuff raw food into her mouth.
Yunfu was worried that she couldn't find a reason to deal with the Lin family, so someone rushed to give her a chance.
"I will go back immediately and report to Madam whether we should beat her, punish her, or send her to the official for investigation. The two sisters-in-law of the Lin family should go back and wait for news!"
She had sharp eyes and immediately saw that Zhao Ruoxia was a coward. With this troublemaker around, she didn't have to worry about getting back the pair of gold bracelets.
When Ms. Zheng went back with her head hanging down, Lin Laosan saw that her hands were empty, followed by Zhao Ruoxia who looked guilty, and he knew immediately that her second sister-in-law was definitely in trouble.
After careful questioning, I learned that Zhao Ruoxia shamelessly ran to the kitchen, ate the food prepared for the host's family, and shamelessly called the Lin family the saviors of the Xie Mansion.
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she wanted to run over to her. Her family was unlucky and she had done all kinds of evil things including robbing and robbing families in her previous life. Now she would have such an evil daughter-in-law in her life.
Lin Laoer was furious: "How can you steal things! Are you still shameless?"
"Who stole the thing? The owner of the mansion is so rich, can she starve to death with just two snacks?"
Zhao Ruoxia still hasn't admitted her mistake yet, and only cares about complaining, "The richer you are, the stingier you become. The food flowing out from between your fingers is enough for us to live for a lifetime. What's the point of holding on to small things! Mom is still the boss of this family. Where is the savior..."
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Lin shouted sharply. She picked up the stone inkstone on the table and wanted to smash it. When she thought she couldn't afford the compensation, she put it down again and started looking for trouble with no one around her. She was so angry that she couldn't afford it. All shaking.
"Second brother, slap her mouth until she realizes that she is wrong!"
Li Laoer had no reason not to listen to my mother's words, and because of the fire in his heart, he just slapped Zhao Ruoxia to the ground.
Tianji Tianrui was startled and tears fell from his eyes. Although he felt sorry for his mother for being scolded, he was more dissatisfied with his mother's behavior. Even though they were children, they all knew that stealing was wrong, and adults kept tugging at their ears to tell them Why didn't I keep their principles in mind?
"Mom, don't fight, don't fight. I know it was wrong and I won't dare to do it again."
Zhao Ruoxia cried so hard that her nose and tears were all over her face. She looked at Old Mrs. Lin's expression in horror. Seeing that she didn't want to spare her hunger, she crawled in front of her two sons and dragged them to kneel down at Old Mrs. Lin's feet.
"Tianji Tianrui, help mother to talk to you, hurry up!"
Tianji and Tianrui blushed, Tianrui pursed his lips and refused to open his mouth, Tianji said softly.
"Nai, my mother knows she was wrong, please spare her this time."
Mrs. Lin felt sorry for her grandson, and no matter how dissatisfied she was, for the sake of her two grandsons, she couldn't embarrass Zhao too much in front of them.
"Watch her! If the Xie family comes to ask for someone, hand her over. Whether it's a beating or a punishment, I won't say a word!"
Lin Laoer responded, took his wife into the back room, and guarded the door like a door god, not letting Zhao Ruoxia leave even half a step.
The Lin family sat around tremblingly, waiting for someone from the Xie family to come and ask questions.
Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zhang even packed their belongings. The family didn't have much belongings. They didn't take any of the things given by Manager Li. They were neatly folded and placed on the bed. They knew in their hearts that they were afraid they would be kicked out of the house this time.
From day to night, Xiangyun's small body couldn't bear it, so she fell asleep twice. Zheng licked her face and asked for milk, and even got choked. The kitchen now treated them as thieves, and the Lin family didn't even eat when they were hungry. Dare to move.
It wasn't until nightfall that a servant sent a word.
"Our wife has said that Madam Zhao will not be held responsible for her fault this time, and she will not do it next time."
Mrs. Lin did not dare to relax. After this incident, the good impression she had left on the Xie family was completely ruined.
The Lin family all looked very depressed. Only Zhao Ruoxia secretly pursed her lips, saying that it was not a big deal, but a few broken snacks, making it seem like she had stolen gold.
Inside the women's house.
Xie Tang had a bad appetite, so he took two bites of vegetarian food, picked up a chopstick of ham and braised quail, and then put down his chopsticks and stopped continuing.
"The Lin family's daughter-in-law is really too much. You finally had an appetite and wanted to eat some snacks, but they secretly ate them. On the pretext of preparing two doses of medicine for the master, you brazenly said that you had a life-saving grace in the Xie Mansion. Madam, this is so Mudlegs, why don’t you punish them?”
Yun Fu was angry that the Lin family could easily escape punishment and turned a deaf ear when she got the chance.
"Forget it, just for a plate of snacks, it's not a crime. Besides, the Lin family is not a servant of the Xie Mansion. My brother also said that Mrs. Lin has good medical skills and no one will be able to get off the stage if they break up. Just give them a warning."
Xie Tang picked up his daughter and coaxed her gently, and kissed her on the head. He remembered that his brother told her to talk to the third daughter-in-law of the Lin family when she had time. Her daughter was as old as Huan Huan.
Now it seems that even if this family is capable, they cannot have a close friendship.
Children with a character like Zhao's will never get better. If the Lin family lives together, the girl will inevitably be exposed to the evil spirit of the market in the future. Her mother-in-law cannot stay with children from such a family.
"There is no need to send the sets of small coats I asked you to find for you yesterday to the Lin family's granddaughter. Apart from my brother's illness, I don't want to hear anything else related to the Lin family."
Yun Fu immediately understood what the madam meant: "Our sister is a golden girl, and the people she will come in contact with when she returns to Beijing from now on will be the county princess, a beautiful girl like the princess. That girl from the Lin family was born in the quagmire and has no use for such good things. "
Although Xie Tang felt that the maid's words were unpleasant, he was right after thinking about it carefully. The girl of the Lin family was born in a farmer's family, and her horizons in this life were limited. When she grew up, she could only marry a farmer, and she would be like this for the rest of her life.
But her Huanwan was different. Before she was born, she was married to the son of a wealthy family. Her father was an important member of the court. She was destined to be well-educated, well-dressed and well-fed, and to have endless glory and wealth in this life.
She looked down at the baby in her arms tenderly, feeling uncontrollably satisfied.
