Chapter 030 Contrast
Mrs. Chen was raised by the third old lady since she was a child and was raised as the main wife. She was originally going to marry Xie Yuanmao when she was fifteen years old, but Xie Yuanmao refused to get married on the pretext of being busy with studies. The third old lady was not her biological mother.
, some things cannot be forced, so he simply moved a pretty maid next to him to his room to serve him.
That person is now Aunt Lin.
She also followed the third old lady when she was peeing, and she was timid. In the eyes of the third old lady, she was the best candidate, so she was relieved to let her become Xie Yuanmao's maid. After Xie Yuanmao returned,
In Mrs. Chen's eyes, Aunt Lin was just a means to win over Xie Yuanmao, so she didn't take her to heart. In the previous life, Mrs. Chen had successfully captured Xie Yuanmao's heart, so Aunt Lin was naturally attracted to her.
He was relegated to the "cold palace". It was not until many years later that he gave birth to a bastard son with the acquiescence of the three old ladies.
Xie Shuning looked at the beautiful woman in front of her who was wearing a plain fur coat with embroidered vase pattern and a pleated skirt with eggplant purple and dark floral plum patterns, and couldn't help but feel slightly lost.
After her mother passed away in her previous life, Mrs. Chen ruled the house with one hand, and she was suppressed by three old ladies above her. Even though she was brought back from the farm, her life was still uncomfortable. Food and clothing expenses, such superficial things,
Mrs. Chen would never treat her badly, but what about the rest? Naturally, all the maids and wives in the house knew that Mrs. Chen didn't like her, so they didn't take her seriously. They usually made sarcastic remarks, and did things behind the scenes in front of her face.
There was no shortage of things to do. The only person she could think of who treated her sincerely in the mansion was indeed Aunt Lin.
She was only eight years old at the time. Although she was smart, she could not figure everything out.
Fortunately, Aunt Lin is here, and she will give her a few words of advice whenever she meets her. If she gets something good, Aunt Lin will be in a hurry to give it to her.
Although Aunt Lin is just a concubine, she and Xie Yuanmao have a friendship similar to that of a young couple. Xie Yuanmao treats her differently from the others. Although it bothers Mrs. Chen, he will occasionally give her some things.
Thinking like this, Xie Shuning's thin eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly.
Father's affection for Aunt Lin...
She missed it!
His father's temper is really troublesome. He wants to be a filial son, so he can't disobey the three old ladies, but he can't abandon his mother and their siblings. This situation is already difficult enough. But he still has a sense of affection.
Dear Aunt Lin, this is not a good thing...
Xie Shuning gritted her teeth secretly, listening to Gui's mother's obviously displeased voice ringing in her ears: "My wife didn't summon me, who asked you to let him in?"
"I'm thinking, this is Aunt Lin, she's not an outsider." Mrs. Zhou seemed to have expected that Gui's mother would make a fuss, and continued to reply without a pause after hearing this.
But it was okay that she didn't say it. After saying this, Gui's mother became even more annoyed and said coldly: "I'm just a concubine. How come I am like the Queen Mother in the sky when I come into your mouth? I can't even wait for someone to tell me about it."
Now? Mrs. Zhou, you can’t even recognize your master? You don’t like our Zhilan Zhai, so you want to move to another place?”
Mrs. Zhou was stunned when she heard this. She was speechless and couldn't answer anything.
She didn't speak, and Aunt Lin standing aside became more and more eye-catching. Aunt Lin seemed a little embarrassed, and she shrank back involuntarily, with a look of fear on her face.
Xie Shuning sighed silently in her heart.
In her memory, Aunt Lin was not a bold person. Now she came to ask to see her mother, but she didn't know why. Sighing, she was ready to comfort Gui's mother, and simply let her mother see Aunt Lin first before mentioning it.
No problem.
No woman in this world would be happy for her husband to be surrounded by concubines. However, Aunt Lin has been with Xie Yuanmao for many years, and they have different feelings for each other. There is absolutely no reason to send her away like this. So in the future, she will still be Xie Yuanmao.
The concubine is also someone the mother has to face besides Chen. But a concubine is just a concubine after all. Unlike Chen’s current embarrassing status, if the mother can relax and relax, she doesn’t have to care at all. Besides, my father’s concubine took the initiative to come to see her.
Mother, this is a good thing.
She opened her mouth and said, "Gui..."
I didn't want to shout out a word, and then I heard Aunt Lin standing opposite say softly: "I'm afraid Madam doesn't want to see me, it's because I was rude. Don't be upset, Mom, I'll leave now. I just heard from Mr. Liu a few days ago
I feel uneasy when I mention that I haven't been able to meet my wife yet, so I came here rashly today without any other intention. Please don't blame Mrs. Zhou, mother."
It sounded like he was ashamed of every word, but the words that had already gathered on the tip of Xie Shuning's tongue would never come out again.
It would be fine if she was really just a child, but not only was she not, but she was a person who had been crawling around in the house for many years.
Aunt Lin's words made her realize something was wrong as soon as she heard them.
She left when she wanted to, but first she emphasized that it was because her mother didn't want to see her. Then she deliberately dragged her father out, which somehow made her feel more arrogant. At the end, she lowered her posture to plead for Mrs. Zhou. It was simply
Watertight!
Xie Shuning had calmly retracted her step toward Aunt Lin. She wanted to tell herself that maybe she was just overthinking it, and that Aunt Lin's words did not mean such a thing. But her intuition came again and again.
He warned her that this was far from being as simple as it seemed!
"Mother Zhou has done something wrong and she will be punished. Please don't overstep your bounds and go back quickly." Gui's mother didn't look good on her.
Aunt Lin had a bit of grievance in her eyebrows, she forced a smile and turned around to leave.
Xie Shuning suddenly shouted: "Auntie, wait a minute, the wet nurse and I are about to hand out the rewards. Since you are here, you can also receive a share!"
"Huh?" Aunt Lin turned around in astonishment, and soon she changed her look of joy and took the money that Gui's mother reluctantly took out. When she saw the amount, the joyful smile on her lips froze, and she said thank you with difficulty.
, then turned around and left.
Compared with the almond-shaped eyes and snow-skinned skin of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Song, Aunt Lin is not as good-looking as the two of them, but she is more graceful and graceful. Walking in the wind and snow, she seems to have an inexplicable charm and charm that makes people reluctant to look away.
Gui's mother looked at it carefully and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "You wasteful hoof! All this money is wasted!"
Xie Shuning heard this and felt depressed and puzzled.
When they met for the first time in this life, she discovered something was wrong with Aunt Lin. But why in her memory, Aunt Lin was a better person? Was she too slow in the past, or was she blinded by lard?
Taking a breath and raising her head, she found Mrs. Zhou staring eagerly at the money box in Gui's mother's arms, looking almost salivating.
Mother Gui sneered and said, "It's not your turn yet."
Mrs. Zhou had a stern look on her face, nodded and said, "Old lady, I know... I know..."
After saying that, he was too busy and went back to guard the door.
While Xie Shuning was thinking about her thoughts, she and Gui's mother gathered the people together and handed out the silver reward. Gui's mother began to beat everyone. Xie Shuning didn't want to listen anymore, so she simply went back to the inner room to look for the Song family.
——But who would have expected that when she entered the door, she saw Mr. Song lying on the kang table and crying into tears.
