The next day when she went to Ronghuayuan to pay her respects, Mrs. Chen really asked the old lady for someone.
"Mother, this meeting is about the honor of the Marquis. My daughter-in-law has been away from the capital for a long time. She knows that she is lacking in etiquette and rules, so I would like to trouble my mother to teach me more in the past few days."
A trace of surprise flashed in the old lady's eyes. She glanced at Mr. Chen calmly, and then said in a cold voice, "Do you think you can learn these etiquette rules in a few days?"
Yang on the side was even more surprised.
Originally, she had thought that in a few days, when Mr. Chen would get angry, she would go out and plead with the old lady, begging her to point Aunt Zhu to Mr. Chen and give her some guidance. In this way, she would gain Mr. Chen's gratitude.
, and you can sell it well in front of the old lady.
But now, Chen actually proposed it on his own initiative?
Hasn't she always been most afraid of the old lady? She has never been able to say a complete sentence in front of the old lady, but what happened today? Every sentence and every word seemed to be spoken out of the old lady's temper!
"What mother said was that the daughter-in-law was slacking off in the past. In the future, the daughter-in-law will definitely work more on etiquette and rules, but now..." Ms. Chen raised her head timidly and looked at the old lady with a pleading look on her face.
The old lady snorted coldly. Although her face was still calm, she turned to Aunt Zhu who was aside and said, "You will follow my family these days. If you have any mistakes, just point them out. Don't let me let you down that day."
It’s a joke for others to see our Marquis!"
"Yes." Aunt Zhu naturally responded.
"Thank you, mother."
Mrs. Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and couldn't help but glance at Xie Wu, who was standing silently next to her.
The old lady asked some more questions about the church, and then waved them all to leave.
After leaving Ronghuayuan, Mrs. Yang pulled Mrs. Chen and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is still thoughtful. Aunt Zhu next to my mother is the most attentive and considerate person. I also need Aunt Zhu's help in this meeting."
Let me take care of some trivial matters, and sister-in-law must not let him go when the time comes!"
"No, no, it was Brother Zheng who reminded me, otherwise I would never dare to say this in front of my mother." Ms. Chen lowered her eyes and said a little embarrassed.
Yang's eyes moved slightly, and the smile on her lips became more and more beautiful.
It was originally Xie Zheng's idea.
Just now in Ronghuayuan, she saw Mr. Chen glance at Xie Wu and thought it was Xie Wu...
Thinking of Xie Wu, Yang subconsciously looked towards Xie Wu, but saw that although she was following Chen, she still looked distant and indifferent, and the smile on her face couldn't help but grow more.
"Ah Wu, I have invited the masters from Jinxiufang to come over for this party. Then I will ask them to measure you and make a few more sets of clothes! My Ah Wu is now a little grown-up, so she needs to dress up nicely.
." Yang looked at Xie Wu with a smile and said to her affectionately.
Xie Wu's originally pure eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile, "Thank you, Second Aunt."
Mrs. Yang nodded with satisfaction, then she said a few words to Mrs. Chen and then led the maid Tingting away.
As soon as Yang left, Chen naturally took Xie Wu back to Cuizhuyuan.
What's rare is that Xie Wu did not leave Chen and go back to her house this time, but followed her into the main room.
Looking at Xie Wu's back, Nian Yue's eyes almost popped out. She whispered to Mi Yue next to her, "What's going on, girl?"
Mi Yue looked at Nian Yue with a complicated expression and said softly, "Let's just follow the girl. Why do we ask so many questions?" After that, she quickly followed Xie Wu into the house.
She didn’t ask anything!
Nianyue frowned, thinking that yesterday she had traveled more than half of the capital to buy what the girl wanted, but the girl sent her away saying she had no appetite, and her chest felt very tight.
"I'm waiting for Grandma Zhu here."
As if knowing Nianyue's doubts, Xie Wu said coldly as soon as she sat down.
The confusion in Nianyue's heart disappeared instantly.
Yes, the old lady pointed out that Aunt Zhu had been accompanying Mrs. Shizi for guidance these days. The girl grew up in front of Aunt Zhu when she was a child, so naturally she has some affection for Aunt Zhu.
Not long after sitting in the main room, the little maid came in and announced that Nanny Zhu was here.
"My slave, please pay your respects to Madam Shizi." Aunt Zhu gave a big salute to Mrs. Chen in an upright manner.
"Mommy, get up quickly." Ms. Chen quickly got up and helped her up personally, her bright black eyes full of smiles and gratitude.
She is really grateful to Grandma Zhu.
Not only because she came to Cuizhuyuan to give her guidance today, but also because of the care she took for Xie Wu in the past.
"Mammy." Xie Wu also stood up and shouted to Mammy Zhu with a smile.
She still remembers that in her previous life, when she was locked in a room and wanted to die, it was Grandma Zhu who bribed the gatekeeper, crying and calling her name over and over again, asking her to take the money and escape and live a good life.
Although she did not escape in the end, these feelings will always be engraved in her heart.
"The girl is older." Grandma Zhu said while blessing Xie Wu.
Perhaps it was because she had no daughter, so she always had an indescribable affection for Xie Wu, who had been fostered in Ronghua Home for a period of time.
Xie Wu smiled and said, "Yes, thank you for taking care of me all these years." As she said that, she turned sideways and gave a half salute to Grandma Zhu.
"Girl, please don't do this, these are the duties of slaves." Aunt Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xie Wu, with a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Ever since the girl was taken to Tinglan Courtyard by the Second Madam, she has lost her previous closeness to her, and because of the old lady, she has also become distant and avoidant towards her. What's wrong now?
"Mommy, mother, I hope you will take a lot of trouble here." Xie Wu held Nanny Zhu's hand and looked at her solemnly and said.
Aunt Zhu was startled, then quickly came to her senses, and solemnly said to Xie Wu, "Don't worry, girl, this servant was sent by the old lady to take care of the Crown Prince's wife. She will naturally do her best to the Crown Prince's wife, and there is no reason to refuse."
Xie Wu smiled lightly, "I know, thank you so much, mama."
"I don't dare." Aunt Zhu lowered her head and said to Xie Wufu.
Coming out of the main courtyard, Nianyue thought again and again, and finally caught up with Xie Wu and said, "Girl, haven't you always disliked Madam? Why did you just tell Aunt Zhu to take good care of Madam!"
Xie Wu paused, her slender eyes lightly glanced at Nianyue, and a cold smile appeared on her lips, "Who told you that I don't like Madam?"
After being glanced at by Xie Wu's slender eyes and hearing the coldness in her words, Nianyue curled her lips, looked at Xie Wu with some grievances and shouted, "Girl..."
"Nianyue, do you know what consequences your words will bring to me if someone with a heart listens to them? Madam, she is my biological mother!" Xie Wu's eyes became even colder, with a bit of ruthlessness in the coldness.
Li.
Nianyue also realized that she had said the wrong thing. She was glanced at by Xie Wu, her feet softened, and she knelt down on the ground with a 'pop', "Girl, this slave said the wrong thing. Please look at me for the sake of the second lady."
Please forgive me this time."
Looking at Nianyue lying on the ground, Xie Wu smiled coldly, and the corner of her eyes casually glanced at Miyue, who was silent and lowered her head, "Nianyue, not every wrong thing will be brought up to my second aunt.
It will be settled, there are some things that even Second Aunt may not be able to protect you from!"
Mi Yue didn't know if Nianyue, who was kneeling on the ground, heard what Xie Wu was referring to. Now she felt like her back was wet with sweat, and her heart felt more like it was soaked in ice water. She was so cold that her whole body
Tremble and tremble.
"Girl..." Nianyue's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears of grievance rolled out.
"Get up." Xie Wu smiled and looked away from Mi Yue casually.
She didn't say these words to Nianyue, so it didn't matter whether she understood them or not.
As for Miyue...
Xie Wu's slender eyebrows raised slightly. It was obvious that she understood.
Nianyue got up from the ground while sobbing.
Although she just said the wrong thing, the girl's words were too much and left her no sympathy at all.
"Do you think I asked Aunt Zhu to keep an eye on Madam's rules for her own good?" Xie Wu only glanced at Nianyue and immediately knew what she was thinking at the moment, so she smiled and said to her again.
Nianyue raised her head and looked towards Xie Wu.
Is not it?
"Nanny Zhu belongs to my grandmother. If Madam is slacking off at all, then on my grandmother's side..." Xie Wu looked at Nianyue and smiled meaningfully.
Nian Yue's eyes lit up.
Xie Wu was too lazy to look at Li Yue again, so she raised her feet and stepped over from her.
In the next few days, except for going to the Ronghua Courtyard every day to pay respects, Xie Wu mostly stayed in her room, but she never set foot in the main courtyard. This made Nianyue firmly believe that Xie Wu did not have Mrs. Chen in her heart.
Mother, when I went to Yang's house to talk, I had to tell Xie Wu's behavior in the past few days.
Although Mrs. Chen has a cowardly temperament, she is not stupid either. Aunt Zhu teaches with her heart, so she learns with her heart. When she encounters someone who doesn’t understand, she is willing to humbly ask for advice.
Therefore, after getting along with each other for a few days, even if it wasn't for Xie Wu's sake, Aunt Zhu had developed a good impression of the imperial concubine. Although she would not say good things for her in front of the old lady, she would still pick on her.
If you are diligent and willing to learn this and report it to the old lady, this can actually be regarded as an indirect way to gain her favor in front of the old lady.
Of course, Xie Wu had expected this all along.
Fortunately, Mrs. Yang was busy with the affairs of the hall. She wanted to use this meeting to stand out in front of everyone, so she had to put a lot of thought into it. Naturally, she did not bother to come to Cuizhuyuan to investigate, and the news Nianyue handed over
It was beneficial to her, so naturally she didn't want to come to Cuizhuyuan to cause trouble.
Seeing that there were only two days left before the meeting, Mr. Yang finally found time to walk around Cuizhuyuan.
As Nianyue said, Xie Wu was indeed not in the main courtyard, while Mrs. Chen was attentive to listen to Nanny Zhu lecture her on what to pay attention to during the meeting.
"Sister-in-law." Mrs. Yang stepped in with a smile and said hello.
"Brother and sister." Mrs. Chen also stood up with a smile.
Yang smiled lightly and said, "Mother Zhu is here too."
"Second Madam." Nanny Zhu stepped forward and greeted Ms. Yang.
"Auntie." Xie Yuan also obediently stepped forward and said hello to Ms. Chen.
"Good boy, get up quickly." Mrs. Chen smiled and stepped forward to help Xie Yuan up.
Mrs. Yang sat on the chair, and then smiled and said to Mrs. Chen, "I have been busy these days and have not been around my sister-in-law. Please don't take it wrong."
"How could it be? I know that my younger siblings are busy with church affairs, so it's my fault that I can't help. Don't be offended, younger siblings." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.
A trace of surprise flashed in Yang's eyes, but it didn't show on her face at all. She was still smiling, "I'm just messing around. By the way, sister-in-law, I'm here to give clothes to Sister Wu."
.Hey, sister Wu?"
"Ah Wu has been in the house these days... Xianqing, go and call the eldest girl over." Mrs. Chen said.
