Mrs. Qi was stunned, thinking she heard wrongly, "Mother, what do you mean..."
Old Mrs. Qi coughed lightly and said, "This matter is no joke. Although Mother Liang is so old, she still likes to rely on her old age to act like a servant. She feels that after serving her for so many years, it's time to show off.
Now, I start doing things carelessly."
Mrs. Qi narrowed her eyes slightly, "So..."
Mrs. Qi then glanced sideways at Mother Liang, "You are from our Qi family. Our old master bought you to come to my house to serve our girl. Do you think I can still control you now?"
Mother Liang was also a little unbelievable. She heard what the old lady of the Qi family meant, was she going to be punished?
She is already so old, and she has been with the Qi family since she came to the Qi family.
The Qi family was favored from a young age, and even though she was not the most favored one, she had never suffered any grievances in front of the Qi family.
Not to mention when you arrive at the Xie family, the confidants of the mistress of the family usually greet people with smiles when they go out to meet them.
What's more, after so many years, there is no merit but hard work. At such an old age, there are all qualified mothers-in-law.
Normally, decent people would punish such an old servant unless they really made a big mistake.
Taking a step back, no matter how she went to the Qi family in the past, she had already married into the Xie family with the Qi family.
Mrs. Qi is the wife of the Xie family, so naturally she is also the servant girl of the Xie family.
How could this old lady from the Qi family be qualified to reach out to the Xie family to discipline her?
Although she said this, in the current situation, even for the sake of Qi's dignity, she could not be tough with Mrs. Qi.
I had to admit my mistake first, "What did the old lady say? A slave is to serve the master. If she does something wrong, she should be punished."
Mrs. Qi snorted coldly and said calmly: "You are a qualified old man, so I shouldn't punish you in public. Seeing how your wife is living in the Xie family these days, I, as a mother, must not be clear about it.
It's just that the various difficulties cannot be dealt with at home.
But you were brought here by our Qi family, and you couldn't protect your master. This is very inappropriate!
It doesn’t matter what you do, just stand outside in the yard! Let everyone else here take a look. If a servant doesn’t protect his master, no matter how senior he is, he can’t care about his dignity.”
Mother Liang's face turned a little pale.
For people like them, appearance is what matters most when they go in and out on weekdays.
What the old lady did was a slap in the face. How could she hold her head up in front of those little maids?
"What? Didn't you say you can be punished? You just said nice things in front of me when you co-authored it? Isn't that what you want?"
Old Mrs. Qi's voice rose a little higher, "I'm going to give you some dignity now and let you go out on your own. When I have someone throw you out, you won't have any dignity left."
"Mother!" Ms. Qi stood there, listening to Mrs. Qi's words, and finally spoke.
However, before she could say anything else, Mrs. Qi interrupted her, "I know that because of Jiang Liangdi's incident, you can't hold your head high in your husband's family, and your temper has also become much softer.
I can't even deal with such a useless servant. Now that I'm here, I won't let you suffer the injustice of these people again. If you don't do it, I'll do it!
Anyway, it’s not like we don’t have anyone at home anymore. If we don’t have this, I’ll send you something more useful.”
What she said was awe-inspiring, but when these words fell on Mrs. Qi's ears, she felt chills.
Seeing that Mrs. Qi was really going to ask someone to take Mother Liang out, she gritted her teeth and her face became ugly.
"Mom doesn't dare to go to Xie's house and say anything for me, so why does she come here and place the elder's family record in front of me?"
After saying this, the air in the room became stagnant.
Mother Liang also looked at Qi in shock, a little unbelievable.
What Mrs. Qi said just now made her feel really aggrieved.
I also understand that my wife probably doesn’t think so.
But the other person is none other than the madam’s biological mother. The madam has listened to her mother’s words since she was a child. In the end, she is just a servant.
She had thought that Mr. Qi might speak out to defend her, maybe say something nice.
But I never expected that her words would be so ruthless.
Even Mrs. Qi herself was shocked by these words. She looked at her daughter and asked, "What did you say?"
Even though Mrs. Qi has not been very well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, Mrs. Qi has always been very respectful to her mother.
She later became the wife of the Xie family, and her social status rose along with the Xie family. Although she was sometimes a bit arrogant towards her parents, Mrs. Qi was always filial and obedient.
This sentence was like a slap in the face of the old lady of the Qi family. She was stunned for a long time without reacting, "What did you say? How did you become like this?!"
After saying these words, Mrs. Qi seemed to be relieved, and her whole body seemed to be much more relaxed.
She sat down, gently took away the painting on the desk, and set it aside to dry.
Then he said calmly: "Mom, you said it yourself just now, you don't know about the things I did at Xie's house. Since you know, why don't you go to Xie's house to advocate for me?
My brother, a dignified third-rank court official, didn't dare to go to Xie's house to speak for me. Now my mother wants to blame me, a servant girl, for not protecting me?
How could she protect me? Why would she pull the door bolt of my house and fight with Xie Maocai? Besides, when I needed my mother and my natal family for so many days, where were you?
Now I can walk out of that house myself, but you came to the door in a hurry, without asking if I was doing well. You heard that I was sick, and you didn't ask what made me uncomfortable, but it didn't matter whether it was important or not.
The first thing I care about is your dignity. It was my mother-in-law who stopped you, so you want to ask me, mother-in-law, have you changed, or have I changed?"
After she asked this question, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Old Mrs. Qi above her. Her face was completely devoid of the friendly emotion she had when she saw her mother.
The expression in both eyes looked faint, as if they were looking at a stranger.
Old Mrs. Qi was speechless for a moment by her question.
In fact, how could she not have a guilty conscience?
It is precisely because of this that they will strike first and build up their momentum as soon as they come in.
Now being exposed by her daughter, she couldn't help but have a sarcastic look on her face, "Girl, we all know the situation in your family very clearly. It's not because of my mother that I don't speak for you, but..."
