036: Cut the mess with a quick knife
These words were polite and courteous. Even though the old lady with a solemn face was disdainful in her heart, she couldn't stop her out loud and could only let Chang Xi do whatever she wanted.
Dong Li and Xiao Tao, who were waiting for her this time, were both silent for a long time. After all, everyone could see that the old lady Rong was probably having a difficult time. Only Chang Xi's expression remained the same. She carefully looked at her makeup in the mirror and was very surprised.
Okay, not at a disadvantage.
Aunt Luo pushed aside the two maids and came to Chang Xi's side, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
"Mommy has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Chang Xi's words made Mammy Luo determined. No matter what Chang Xi's fate was this time, she would have to ring the bell for one day as a monk. So she leaned close to Chang Xi and whispered, "I heard that Master Jiu will be back in two days."
Chang Xi blinked and said, Master Jie Jiu, not to mention Nanny Luo, she has almost forgotten about him recently, but whether this man comes back or not will not have much impact on her fate.
As long as it's not a matter of life and death, it's not really a big deal.
"I have remembered this affection from my mother."
It is quite commendable that Nanny Luo still stood by her at a point where she was likely to be kicked out of the house.
"Ms. Chang, be careful."
When Dong Li helped Chang Xi up, he whispered something, and it was obvious that she was very worried.
Xiao Tao's eyes were red. She was the one who knew how much money Chang Xi had on hand, so she just said, "Ms. Chang, if you want to leave, remember to take me with you."
She remembered that it was Chang Xi who taught her to see the world outside, and it was Chang Xi who taught her to find her own value. She was more willing to follow Chang Xi to make a living than to waste time in this house.
Chang Xi smiled and patted the shoulders of the two maids, and just said softly, "Wait until I come back."
The nanny sent by the old lady Rong outside urged impatiently, "Ms. Chang, it's getting late. Don't keep the old lady waiting."
Chang Xi walked directly out of the inner room. For such a difficult kid, if you argue with her, it will only make her angry. So, she walked directly out, "Aren't you in a hurry? Why don't you lead the way?"
"
The nanny sent by the Rong family, who was Chang Xi's guest, was immediately a little angry, but after all, she was concerned about the fourth wife Qin, the mistress of the house, so she hurried forward with a long face to lead the way.
Chang Xi took Nanny Luo directly to see the old lady Rong, leaving Dong Li and Xiao Tao to look after the house.
Along the way, Chang Xi didn't look much at the scenery on the road leading to the courtyard where the old lady lived. Instead, she wondered in her mind what kind of person the old lady Rong would be.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Mr. Xie is a first-grade veteran minister who is the second assistant and the crown prince's tutor, and Mrs. Rong is the wife of a high-ranking official.
In her previous life, she had dealt with too many wives of high-ranking Chinese and foreign officials, and all of them were powerful figures. After all, the husband could climb so high, and the wife took the most credit.
Such a woman is easy to fight or easy to deal with, and her purpose is very clear. If she is not easy to deal with, she is also easy to deal with. If you are not careful, you will be led into a trap by the other party.
Mrs. Rong is definitely not someone who is easy to fool, but this time she came forward to mediate the dispute between the second and fourth bedrooms. It can be seen that Mrs. Rong intends to cut the knot quickly. As for who is behind the scenes, Mrs. Rong is afraid that she will not be too
If you pursue it too closely, you can just turn a blind eye and pass by in confusion.
And she was the source of this mess. With no power and no personal freedom, she was the character that Rong thought could be solved quickly. She let out a sigh in her heart. She was quite unhappy about being a chopping block in the eyes of others.
But this is the reality. She is not the protagonist in those cheating novels who can reach the sky in one step. Every step she takes must be calculated.
Therefore, she had to make up her own mind this time and could not follow the script arranged by others.
She can't be a fluttering tree that sways in the wind, but she has to be a big tree that can stand firm.
Besides, if she doesn't mess up, others won't be able to mess up her pace.
With a countermeasure in mind, her face became calmer and calmer.
This made the old lady sent by the Rong family, who was secretly observing her, couldn't help but secretly marvel in her heart. In her mind, a good wife like Chang Xi should be frightened to see the old lady. Besides, this time the old lady pretended
It was clear that he wanted to drive her away, so why did she do the opposite?
It was really weird, but the contempt and disdain in her heart was much restrained.
At this time, Mrs. Rong, Mrs. Xie, complained about her husband, Mrs. Xie, "You should have listened to me and kept everything at home, but it was better for you to let her take care of the food and daily life with the boss. Who can do this kind of work?"
No? So many servants in the mansion are dead? Otherwise, it would be fine to keep the third family, it would save people more worry than these two now."
Speaking of which, she felt like she was having angina pectoris again.
The second daughter-in-law, Qian, came from a family of young scholars and had limited knowledge. She didn't like her at first, but she couldn't win over her son, so she had to marry her. How could she dare to let her be the head of the family?
The fourth daughter-in-law, Qin, came from a wealthy family. She was good at dealing with people and running a household. She just had a strong temperament. Besides, she had gained a lot of experience following her fourth son's appointment in the capital in the past few years.
Nothing went wrong, except for the marriage.
Because of this, she didn't give Qin a good look for a long time as punishment.
"Now you are blaming me. How do you feel when your mother didn't let you take office with me?" Mr. Xie refused to take the blame. "Besides, my son is taking office outside and there is no hostess to take care of it. So you just have to take care of me."
