Xiang Wan also didn't expect Wang Qin to make such a request, and said a little blankly: "Auntie, someone will do these things later."
Wang Qin said directly to Xiang Wan, "Isn't it your responsibility to do these things?"
The servants standing around were so angry that they didn't dare to say a word. This kind of struggle between a wealthy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most forbidden to spread. However, Wang Qin talked about it so openly in front of the servants, clearly just wanting to embarrass Xiang Wan.
Xiang Wan's brain was in a state of shutdown right now, and her face turned red for no reason. Washing the carpet was basically done by servants. If she washed it, wouldn't it mean that in Wang Qin's mind, she was no different from a servant?
The fingertips holding the small bowl started to tremble uncontrollably, and she felt very uncomfortable. She couldn't understand why she still didn't get any respect even though she had done everything according to Wang Qin's heart.
"Go ahead, it's still early and the weather isn't too cold. Just take a shower and think of it as a workout."
The servants around them did not dare to make a sound, trying to reduce their presence as much as possible. But at this time, the butler still had to stand up and say a few words. He walked slowly towards the two of them.
"Old lady, it might be a bit cold to wash the blanket in this weather. How about I ask other servants to take it away and wash it later?"
The housekeeper obviously wanted to help Xiang Wan, but Wang Qin was not that easy to dismiss.
"Old manager, it seems I have no voice in this family anymore?"
The housekeeper didn't expect that Wang Qin would directly attack him. He didn't look very good and didn't dare to say anything more.
The atmosphere in the entire living room was extremely cold, with only Wang Qin drinking tea leisurely there.
Xiang Wan lowered her head and her whole face turned red. She endured the glares from those around her and spoke slowly.
"I'm going to wash up now. Auntie will sit here and have something to eat."
After saying that, he squatted down and slowly pulled out the carpet. The carpet in the living room was particularly large, of good quality, and very thick. Xiang Wan's small body simply couldn't pull out such a big thing.
The housekeeper couldn't stand it, so he came up to help pull out the carpet. When the people around him saw it, they immediately rushed over to help pull out the carpet.
Wang Qin took the dessert and chewed it slowly, watching a group of people pulling the carpet in front of her.
"By the way, let's wash in the backyard to the west. It's more convenient to wash there."
After saying this, everyone buried their heads lower. The backyard to the west is where the servants live. How could a lady go to the back to wash the carpet?
I feel very sad, but I know there is nothing I can do if she doesn't do this.
"Old lady, there is no hot water in the west backyard."
Xiang Wan was stunned, there is no hot water!? How can my hands withstand washing such a large carpet without hot water in this weather?
Hearing that there was no hot water seemed to make me feel happier.
"Isn't that right? It's okay without hot water in this weather."
"Xiao Wan, if you're not feeling well, maybe you can get some exercise by washing the carpet."
The carpet had already been lifted off the ground, and the servants did not dare to say a word as they moved the carpet to the backyard to the west.
Xiang Wan lowered her head and remained silent. She knew in her heart that Wang Qin wanted to embarrass her in front of the servants and tell them that she was an unrecognized wife in the Xu family.
A feeling of powerlessness arises spontaneously, it is very uncomfortable and there is no way to change it.
"Auntie is right, I'll go over there to wash up and exercise."
I stood up, my brain was still a little short of oxygen from squatting for too long, my vision went dark, and I held onto the coffee table next to me.
"Xiao Wan, are you okay? If you don't feel well, why don't you wash the carpet?"
I didn't hear any concern in the words, but there was a sense of watching a good show in them.
The blackness in front of his eyes gradually dissipated, his consciousness returned, and he shook his head.
"It's okay, auntie, I'm going to wash it now."
After saying that, he specially gave Wang Qin some white fungus soup before walking to the backyard. Wang Qin picked up the white fume white fungus soup and followed Xiang Wan's leaving back. The sarcasm in his eyes dissipated and was replaced by worry.
look.
Arriving at the west backyard, the plants and furnishings came into view as soon as I stepped into the yard, and a familiar feeling came over me.
"Butler, here..."
The housekeeper comforted Xiang Wan, "Madam, this is where the servants of the Xu family live, but the environment is still good. I will have someone connect a pipe later so that you can use hot water."
He had to listen to Wang Qin's words, but he could still help with details like this.
But Xiang Wan didn't think like that, "It's okay. Uncle housekeeper, thank you for talking to me just now. I will do the rest by myself."
Don't you just want to wash the carpet? This matter is not difficult for her.
"Thank you everyone for helping me bring the carpet. Thank you for your hard work. You can go back and rest first."
The servants looked at each other and dared not move. Finally, they dared to leave only after the butler's eyes signaled them.
Standing in the middle of the yard, there was no one else around, and it seemed as if the world had suddenly become quiet. The evening breeze passed through the yard and lifted a few strands of her long hair.
She turned on the faucet and slowly squatted down. The moment her hands touched the cold water, her mind seemed to suddenly remember something.
Slowly, the picture gradually became clearer.
In my mind, there is a girl washing the carpet in the cold wind, her hands frozen.
A heartbreaking pain hit her, causing her to tremble and the water pipe in her hand fell to the ground.
What's going on? The feeling I had just now was as if I had seen it somewhere before. It was very familiar and familiar, as if I had experienced it myself. What does this mean?
The headache eased a little. When she saw the surrounding environment, she suddenly remembered that the environment in her memory was exactly the same as now!!
But who is that person? Is it me? Why am I washing carpets in Xu’s backyard?
The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to know the answer. I felt very uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable to feel like I was about to get something out but then got stuck.
What did she do in the past?! What is her relationship with the Xu family?
The cold water wet her hands again, drawing her attention away.
It's better to clean the carpet first, otherwise the aunt will tell you again later.
I can clearly feel Wang Qin's malice, but I also wonder if I have misunderstood her true meaning? Maybe Wang Qin just wants to test her? Or maybe he has other intentions?
She scrubbed her hands harder, and her hands slowly turned red, but fortunately the temperature outside was not too cold now, so she could still bear it.
There is only a small area of the carpet that is dirty, so just clean that area and it will take less than half an hour in total.
Thinking about it this way, it feels like washing the carpet is nothing.
But she had to leave the drying work to others. Anyway, she was only asked to wash the carpet and not dry it!
I stood up and stretched, and accidentally glanced at an old room next to me, which looked like a warehouse.
You can see a red sticker on the door, and that familiar feeling comes back again...
