She did not stay in Cuizhuyuan to have dinner with Mrs. Chen and the others.
Seeing her coming, the old lady felt a little surprised, but she still smiled and gave her a seat.
"My cousin is here too!" After giving the old lady a gift, Xie Wu curled her lips and looked at Jiang Yingxue sitting beside her.
Jiang Yingxue licked her lips stiffly. What Xie Wu said last time still left her with lingering fear. Therefore, when she came to Ronghua Courtyard to serve the old lady, she deliberately avoided her, but she did not expect that Xie Wu would come at this time today.
Ronghuayuan.
"I think the eldest lady has something to say to her aunt, so I won't bother you. Aunt, I'm going to leave first." After Jiang Yingxue said that, she stood up and said to the old lady.
"Yes." The old lady said to her casually, and then sent her away.
Xie Wu smiled, turned around and took a thick account book from Mi Yue, and then said to the old lady, "Grandma, this is the general ledger of the entry and exit of the Hou Mansion this month. I have already recorded it."
, please take a look." After saying that, he handed the account book to the old lady.
The old lady smiled. She did not reach out to take the account book handed over by Xie Wu. Instead, she motioned to Nanny Zhu to put the account book away. She looked at Xie Wu with a smile and said, "You shouldn't have to worry about these trivial matters."
, However, no matter if you learn it, you will always be able to use it in the future."
Xie Wu lowered her eyes and smiled.
Seeing Xie Wurong's unfazed look, the old lady raised her eyes and said with a smile, "Why are you here at this hour? Your aunt and the others finally came to the house, why don't you chat with them more?"
Xie Wu raised her eyes, met the old lady's slightly scrutinizing gaze, suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said, "My aunt has my mother with her, so she doesn't need me."
After hearing Xie Wu's words, the old lady raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling relieved in her heart.
Fortunately, Xie Wu was not as confused as her mother, which comforted her somewhat.
But then she thought again, what's the use of Xie Wu's Qing Dynasty? After all, Chen is the future mistress of the Hou Mansion. Now Xie Wu can help her take care of everything, but if Xie Wu gets married,
?
Thinking of this, most of the sullenness that had just dissipated in the old lady's heart suddenly came back again!
In the final analysis, this matter was all caused by that old man Xie Yu! How dare he agree to this marriage without discussing it with her!
"I heard that it was you who sent someone to deliver a message to call the wet nurse next to your mother back to the Hou Mansion?" The old lady looked at Xie Wu with squinting eyes and asked.
"Yes." Xie Wu replied proudly. Finally, she raised her eyes and looked calmly into the old lady's eyes, and then said to her, "There must be someone beside my mother who can always remind her what should be done and what should not be done.
The one who should do it.”
After hearing what Xie Wu said, although the old lady didn't say anything, there was still a hint of agreement in her eyes.
"I'm afraid you have too high expectations for this Aunt Liu. If she is really capable, your mother still hasn't made any progress after so many years!" The old lady looked at Xie Wu and said coldly.
Xie Wu lowered her head and did not refute the old lady's words.
Aunt Liu wanted to teach Mrs. Chen all her skills, but that would require Mrs. Chen to be willing to learn attentively!
She was born in a honeypot and grew up smoothly. When she grew up, she met Xie Zheng again. Although the status of the two was very different, the old marquis was an orphan in the army. There was no such thing as status.
It was not in the eyes of the old Marquis. He saw that the two children liked each other, and Mrs. Chen chased her son to Ningxia. So, he slapped his thigh and held a wedding banquet for the two of them. As for whether Mrs. Chen should be worthy of the Marquis.
Madam Prince Fu, these are not within his scope of consideration!
Even though there was a time when she was given trouble by the old lady when she returned to Beijing, she was able to ignore the opinions of the people around her and fled back to Ningxia, abandoning her infant daughter.
In those days in Ningxia, her husband loved her, her father-in-law didn't care, and Grandma Liu took care of everything in the house. There was nothing that she needed to worry about. Even if there was, the people around her could help her take care of it.
Properly.
Her life has been too smooth. She has easily obtained things that others could not get despite all their efforts. Over time, she has become accustomed to this kind of life where someone helps her take care of everything. She is lazy to learn.
, don’t want to learn either...
Anyway, there will always be someone around her who will take care of everything for her.
Before getting married, they were father and brother.
After getting married, he becomes a husband.
And now, it's Xie Wu.
Probably the biggest setback she suffered in her life was not getting the old lady's favor!
So, if you tell such a winner in life that you want her to learn how to manage the house, how to deal with things, and how to establish her authority, she will only tell you with red eyes that she is too tired and cannot learn, so you should do it yourself.
Seeing that Xie Wu lowered her eyes and said nothing, the old lady raised the corners of her lips and sneered, "You know in your heart that your mother is just a piece of mud that can't hold up the wall. Even if you call more people to help her, she still can't stand up.
stand up!"
After hearing what the old lady said, Xie Wu finally raised her head and looked towards her.
However, what surprised the old lady was that she was not angry because of her words, and even had a slight smile in her eyes.
"Yes, grandma, you are right."
The old lady's eyes were widened as she waited for Xie Wu's next words.
Sure enough, Xie Wu's voice sounded again. She looked at the old lady with a faint smile and said, "But even if it's a piece of mud, don't you have to try to help it?"
As soon as these words came out, the old lady immediately shut her mouth.
Who says it’s not!
Who let them, the Marquis of Wu'an, end up in this mess!
but……
The old lady suddenly looked sideways at Xie Wu and sneered twice, and she said, "You really have no choice when it comes to a girl like you, but the Marquis Mansion is different. When forced, it's not impossible to find someone who can hold up the wall.
!”
With Brother Zheng's good looks and talent, even if he divorces his wife and remarries, he will definitely be much better than Chen!
"But grandma also said that it was the last resort." Xie Wu replied with a smile.
The old lady looked sullen and stopped talking.
This is also the reason why she knew that Chen's mud could not hold up the wall, but still put the gifts in the Hou's mansion into her hands. Even though a large part of the reason was because of Xie Wu, why didn't she hug Chen?
So a little bit of hope.
No matter how much she disliked Mrs. Chen, she had been the crown prince’s wife for more than ten years, not to mention that she had given birth to a son and a daughter for the Marquis. She didn’t want to take such a desperate path unless she had to!
Even if it’s for the sake of the two children!
Thinking of this, the old lady sighed again, "Your mother's temper can't be easily changed unless... she is given a strong dose of medicine!"
Xie Wu's eyes moved.
Although she had already guessed the old lady's plan, she did not hum.
Xie Wu didn't answer, and the old lady didn't care either. She held the corner of her lips, took over the conversation and said to Xie Wu with a slight smile, "Awu, I heard that you and Yingxue get along well? I heard Jade say that she
Did you even make some snacks for you to try?"
"My cousin not only gave me snacks, but also your mother and my second aunt." Xie Wu looked at the old lady and answered with a smile.
"Your mother and your second aunt didn't send them in person." The old lady looked at Xie Wu with half-closed eyes and said.
Xie Wu curled her lips. She was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked the old lady directly, "So, what do you want to say to me, grandma?"
"Ah Wu, it's time to add someone to your father's side that he likes. Did you say that?" The old lady narrowed her eyes and finally expressed her plan.
To the old lady's surprise, Xie Wu had no reaction after hearing her words.
It was as if she had expected that she would say this.
"Why did grandma ask me? Shouldn't you ask father?" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows and asked the old lady.
The old lady's eyes darkened.
It was because she was rejected by Xie Zheng last time that she had to settle for Xie Wu.
She has now discovered that Xie Zheng can really listen to what Xie Wu said.
"Ah Wu, what I do is actually for your mother's good. If you want a person to grow up quickly, the best way is to make her feel an urgent crisis!" The old lady looked at Xie Wu with squinting eyes.
Word by word.
Xie Wu pursed her lips and smiled, "I agree with what my grandmother said. But, I still said the same thing, you should ask your father?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment.
She looked towards Xie Wu with a gloomy face.
She didn't believe that someone as smart as Xie Wu could not think of why she told her this! After all, she just didn't want to come forward to persuade Xie Zheng!
Seeing that the old lady's face was serious and silent, Xie Wu was not alarmed. She smiled lightly and said, "But, grandma said so, have you already chosen a candidate? It can't be...my cousin, right?"
"What? Do you think your cousin's aunt is not worthy of your father?" the old lady said solemnly.
Xie Wu pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course not, it's just that my cousin is your niece after all. She came all the way to the Marquis Mansion to join you. Isn't it inappropriate for you to ask her to be your father's concubine? My cousin is afraid.
You don’t want to either!”
"Why don't you want to do this? Being a concubine to Brother Zheng is a bit unfair, but with me here, she won't suffer too much after all!" the old lady said again with a stern face.
After hearing what the old lady said, Xie Wu pursed her lips with a faint smile and said, "If this is what grandma wants and my cousin is willing to do it, then I won't object."
"This is true!" The old lady's eyes suddenly lit up, and the gloom on her face suddenly disappeared.
Xie Wu smiled and nodded towards the old lady.
"Then your father..."
"Father, it is natural for my grandmother to come forward and speak out! You will never let me, a daughter, come forward to persuade your father to take a concubine, right?" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows.
The old lady frowned and thought, yes, Xie Wu's identity is really not suitable to get involved in this matter. If this gets out, it will not be good for her reputation.
It seems that in about ten days she will have her haircut.
Since she has made her position clear and clear, Brother Zheng should not react too much.
After all, she was doing this for the sake of the Hou family.
