Jindu City, Chen's house, Su Meng has not been there since she returned to Chen's house from Su's house that day. She has been waiting and watching, waiting for her family to completely establish a foothold in the second uncle's house, and then go there. Whatever comes.
Although she had only stayed for one night before, she had already become extremely jealous when she saw that Su Yu had so many good things.
But she waited and waited. Instead of waiting for the news from her mother, she waited for the rumors in Kyoto. Everyone was spreading the rumor that the second uncle was the son of the fourth prince. When she heard it, she did not react for a while. come over.
If this was the case, my mother should have asked someone to send her a message, but a day later, there was no movement from Jinjiacun.
Su Meng couldn't sit still at all. She was too lazy to move now that she was a month old, so she had to ask the maid to go to Jinjia Village in person.
When Qing'er arrived at the Su's house in a carriage, the courtyard door was open. When she entered, she only saw a few servants of the Su's house and no one from the old house.
Hearing the noise coming from the courtyard gate, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Deng, who were busy in the courtyard, looked over. They originally thought that the masters had returned, but they didn't expect that it was the maid Qing'er who came.
They remember that this is the personal maid of the eldest girl in the old house. They know without thinking what the maid is here for. She must be here to inquire about news.
"Mother Wu, Mrs. Deng, are busy."
Qing'er came in and saw the two of them, smiled and greeted them, and then looked around and saw no one in the old house.
"My young mistress has been missing the eldest lady a little bit these past two days, so she wanted me to pick up the eldest lady and come over to talk."
When Qing'er went to the old house, Su Lao'er's family had already left, so towards Su Lao'er's family, she didn't have the same influence as the people in the old house.
"Your trip to find Madam today will be in vain. All the people who live there have gone back to their hometowns."
"Going back? How is this possible!"
Qing'er is not stupid. Even if the people from the old house want to go back, the eldest lady will definitely go to the Chen family without telling others.
The two of them would not hide the fact that Lao Zhai was beaten, and they wanted more publicity. Mrs. Deng smiled and told about the reward that the emperor had given to Lao Zhai when Eunuch Mao came to announce the decree that day. Qing'er's face turned pale after hearing this.
So the people in the old house were sent back to their hometown by people sent by the emperor, and they are also said to be unable to leave their hometown again in this life?
Although Qing'er's face turned pale, she was still stable. The young mistress was still a married aunt no matter what, so she could not be implicated in the young mistress.
"Since the eldest lady has gone back to her hometown, I will go back and talk to our young mistress."
Qing'er finished speaking and left in a hurry.
During these days, Su Meng's life in the Chen family could be said to be that of a queen. She said that no one dared to say anything. Anything good at home would be delivered to her. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law would also accompany her with smiles all day long. It was impossible before.
But Su Meng was extremely disgusted with all this. If she hadn't married into the Chen family, she would not look down on people like the Chen family.
But she had forgotten that in order for her to marry into the Chen family, the Su family had to put in a lot of effort to facilitate this marriage.
Su Meng was sitting on a lounge chair in the yard. There was a small plate of watermelon on the small table next to her. Her husband knew that she wanted to eat it, so he went to buy it today.
It has only been two years since watermelon was introduced to Kyoto City from other places. Now only those rich and powerful families can eat it. It is still difficult for ordinary small families to get it.
Chen Jiashu spent a full twenty taels of silver to make such a small dish, which has long exceeded the value of the watermelon itself. The most important thing is that this thing cannot be bought with money.
It would be false to say that I don't feel bad, but thinking about the Su family behind Su Meng, the Chen family feels it is worth it.
Su Meng has been waiting in the yard for a while. She is here just to wait for Qing'er to come back.
When he saw Qing'er come in, Su Meng didn't notice anything wrong with Qing'er's expression. At the moment, his mind was entirely on Qing'er.
Seeing Qing'er walking in and there was no movement behind her, Su Meng couldn't help but look at Qing'er doubtfully.
"Didn't I tell you to pick up my mother? Why didn't she arrive?"
Next to Su Meng, the Chen family's mother and daughter were also sitting and waiting. When Qing'er went out, Su Meng told them that Ji's family would be coming, so the Chen family also prepared it early in the morning and asked her mother-in-law to buy a lot. The dishes were prepared, and everyone was looking at Qing'er when no one came.
Qing'er is under a lot of pressure. The old lady and the eldest girl cannot know about this, otherwise the young lady will not be able to live her life in the Chen family.
But Chen's mother is not easy to get along with. She can tolerate her temper with Su Meng, but she doesn't have such a good temper with the maid Qing'er.
"I'm asking you a question! Why didn't you pick up the person you were asked to pick up? How did you do that, you damn girl?"
When Su Meng heard Chen's mother scolding Qing'er, she didn't say anything to dissuade her. She just looked at Qing'er. She also wanted to hear what happened.
"Go back to the old lady, young lady, the eldest lady is not feeling well and will not come today. I asked my slave to bring a message saying that she will come back after a while."
"I'm not feeling well. How about Meng'er, let's go to Su's house to see your mother?"
Qing'er shook her head crazily in her heart, and her face turned a bit paler. She was the young mistress's dowry maid. The young mistress's life in the Chen family was difficult, and her life as a dowry maid would also be difficult.
Su Meng was not stupid, and he noticed Qing'er's reaction, so he rejected Chen's mother.
"Mom, there shouldn't be any big problem with my mother. Let's talk about it later. I've been feeling sick these days and don't want to go out."
Mother Chen and Chen Waner were a little disappointed. They really wanted to go to Su's house, but Su Meng wouldn't go. Their son also told them to listen to Su Meng, otherwise they would have gone early.
The mother and daughter looked at Su Laoer's son, the current heir apparent of the county prince's palace, who was said to be unmarried yet.
Moreover, Chen Wan'er heard her mother come back from her last trip to the Su family and said that the son whom the second eldest son of the Su family recognized not long ago was the eldest young master of the Bai family, and he looked like a different person.
Chen Waner once saw her on the road and heard others say that that person was the eldest young master of the Bai family. At that time, she was thinking about what kind of girl the eldest young master of the Bai family would marry, but she did not expect that the opportunity would be placed in front of her now. How could it be missed.
At the same time, I felt extremely regretful. My mother asked her last time when she and her eldest brother went to Su's house, but she refused at the time. Now she regrets it every time she thinks about it.
How could Su Meng not know the little thoughts of mother and daughter? She felt very contemptuous in her heart. It wasn't that she looked down on her sister-in-law. She looked so good that even if Su Yan carried shoes, people wouldn't want her, so how could she take a fancy to her.
"Qing'er, help me back to the house. I want to lie down on the bed."
Qing'er stepped forward to help Su Meng, and the master and servant returned to the house.
The Chen family's yard was not big, so Mother Chen got up and patted her butt and hit her waist twice, causing her to sit in the yard for a long time and then went back to the house to lie down.
Chen Wan'er looked around and saw no one, then quietly came to squat under the window of her brother and sister-in-law's house. This was not the first time she eavesdropped on the conversation between the master and the servant, so she didn't feel guilty at all.
