Chapter 78

Teach Aunt Li a lesson

Arriving at the gate of the hospital, Wei Ruo saw Granny Li whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She was darker and thinner than she was two months ago.

She knelt on the ground, and when she saw Wei Ruo coming over, she kowtowed to Wei Ruo and apologized.

Her actions attracted several servants from the mansion to stop and watch at the door of Tingsong Garden.

Seeing this scene, Xiumei's brows were knotted. She pulled Wei Ruo and expressed her worries in a low voice: "Miss, what should I do? Aunt Li did this on purpose! What did she want to do by making such a big noise and attracting so many people to watch?

?”

"I know what she wants to do. She wants to ruin your reputation and my reputation." Wei Ruo knew it well.

When Wei Ruo first entered the mansion, Aunt Li was the one responsible for teaching Wei Ruo the rules. In name, she was half of Wei Ruo's teacher. She was also an old man from the Earl's Mansion, so she knelt and kowtowed to Wei Ruo like this.

Yes, the scene is really not pretty.

That day, Wei Ruo and Aunt Li were so tough and tit-for-tat during the confrontation. According to this style of acting, Wei Ruo would not only not appreciate it when seeing Aunt Li kowtow, but she would probably mock her again.

When the time comes, Wei Ruo will have a reputation of making things difficult for the old ladies in the mansion, and the servants in the mansion will have a bad impression of her as the eldest lady.

"What should we do?" Xiumei asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's up to me." Wei Ruo patted Xiumei's hand gently.

Then he walked up to Grandma Li and said, "Grandma Li, you can't do this!"

"If the eldest lady doesn't forgive me today, I will never be able to kneel down again!" Grandma Li said with a sad look on her face.

"What do you mean, Nanny Li? When have I ever blamed you? Get up quickly. You are an old man in the house and you have just suffered in the village. You don't want to kneel like this!"

Wei Ruo said and stepped forward to help Nanny Li.

Nanny Li raised her head and looked at Wei Ruo in surprise.

In Grandma Li's memory, Wei Ruo was arrogant, vulgar and unruly. She never taught her etiquette well and looked self-righteous. When they had a dispute, Wei Ruo also had a head-on confrontation with her.

According to her understanding of Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo shouldn't have reacted like this!

"Miss, don't you blame me anymore?" Grandma Li asked.

"The reason why I argued with grandma that day was because she did something wrong and people's lives were at stake. Naturally, I was anxious. Now that the matter has passed, my second brother has recovered, and you have been punished, why should I vent my anger on you again, unless

...Mommy, are you still going to make mistakes and make things difficult for me?" Wei Ruo had a slight smile hidden at the corner of his mouth.

"No, no, the old slave has changed his ways and won't do it again!" Grandma Li said hurriedly.

After saying that, he kowtowed again.

"Mother Li, what are you doing? I have forgiven you, why do you still kowtow?"

"I feel guilty in my heart. I am afraid that the eldest lady will not forgive me."

"You can't help it, you are so old, Nanny Li. What if your body is damaged and you fall down at my door? Xiumei, help Nanny Li up quickly."

"Okay miss."

Xiumei strode forward.

"Nanny Li, get up." Xiumei didn't give Nanny Li time to react. She put her hands under Nanny Li's arms and directly lifted her up.

Before Grandma Li could recover, she heard Wei Ruo continue:

"Then check her knee again to see if there is any bruise."

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, Grandma Li panicked and quickly stopped her: "No, no, no, I'm not hurt!"

But how could her reaction speed compare with Xiumei's? Xiumei touched Nanny Li's knee with lightning speed.

What the palm touched was not a hard kneecap, but a soft mass.

Xiumei was shocked, and with quick eyes and quick hands, she reached under Nanny Li's skirt and removed the kneepads tied to her knees.

When the knee brace appeared in front of everyone, everyone showed surprise, which turned to contempt after a moment.

Wei Ruo said unhurriedly: "Mom really pays attention to her health. She didn't forget to protect her knees when she came to apologize to me."

Nanny Zhang happened to come over to talk to Wei Ruo about something. As soon as she arrived at the door of Tingsongyuan, she saw this scene. She couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

Aunt Zhang took the lead, and the other maids who were watching also laughed.

Hearing everyone's laughter, Grandma Li was so embarrassed and angry that she grabbed the knee pad from Xiumei's hand, turned around and ran away.

Xiumei smiled and walked back to Wei Ruo: "Miss, how do you know she has knee braces?"

"The bluestone tiles on the floor here are rough and uneven. Even young knees can't stand it, let alone Grandma Li at her age. She didn't come to apologize to me sincerely, so naturally she couldn't bear to let herself suffer like this."

Wei Ruo analyzed.

"I see, the lady is still smart!"

"Then my Meimei must have quick eyesight and quick hands!"

"So I am suitable to stay with the lady for the rest of my life!" Xiumei said with a smile.

The master and the servant returned to the courtyard talking and laughing, and the rest of the onlookers also dispersed.

Aunt Li ran back to Wangmei Garden in a hurry.

Seeing Grandma Li coming back in a panic, Wei Qingwan came up worriedly and asked about the situation: "Mammy, what's wrong with you?"

"Miss, what's going on? I haven't been to the countryside for two months, why has the eldest lady's temperament changed so much?" Grandma Li still can't believe it.

"Um...I don't know. I've never understood my sister."

Wei Qingwan lowered her head and murmured: "Mom, you always said in the past that my sister was a vulgar and arrogant person, and that she was just pretending to be so decent in front of her parents and brothers. But in such a long time, I have never seen my sister.

Whenever I am criticized for being vulgar and arrogant, I often use politeness to suppress me."

Wei Qingwan added: "Just now, grandma, when you said you were going to show your sister some colors, that's why I stopped her."

Aunt Li's brows furrowed into the word "Chuan" and she said angrily: "It seems that I underestimated this Wei Qingruo before! Don't worry, Miss, I was hasty this time. Now that I'm back, I have plenty of time to take my time."

Fight her!"

"Mommy, isn't this good...what if..."

"Don't worry, Miss. This is all my own idea. Even if something happens later, I will be solely responsible for it and will never drag you down, Miss!" Grandma Li assured Wei Qingwan.

"How can this be done? Aunty, you are doing all this for me! How can I stay out of it?"

"I was punished entirely because of Wei Qingruo. I already had a grudge against her. This time, Miss interceded for me and allowed me to return to my house a month earlier. I will do this regardless of kindness or reason. Miss, please

Don’t try to persuade.”

Grandma Li has made up her mind.

###

Two nights later, when everyone in the Wei Mansion was drinking tea after dinner, Wei Mingting, who had not been home for seven days, suddenly came back.

He was wearing armor and still had his shirt on, his face was covered with dirt and his hair was messy.
