Early in the morning, as soon as I arrived at the front yard, Nanny Su brought me a business card.
Hua Zhi looked at the flowery signature on it and saw something unclear. "Wu family?"
"Yes." Nanny Su lowered her eyebrows. "The one who brought the name card was the Wu family's chief steward. I saw him when I was with the old lady."
"This is really interesting." She had been ready to cut off ties with the Hua family, but today she was invited to attend the Wu family's tea party. She didn't believe that there was no conspiracy behind this.
"Go and ask Xu Jie to come over."
Also in the front yard, Xu Jie came quickly.
"Go and find out about the Wu family's recent relationship with the Yang family, especially Yang Qi."
"yes."
Watching Xu Jie leave in a hurry, Hua Zhi sighed secretly, "Butler Xu needs to be taken care of, Xu Jie's heart is outside, and Xu Ying is still too young, does Nanny Su have any good ideas?"
"Miss, have you ever thought about letting Yingchun do it?"
Hua Zhi was a little surprised that Nanny Su would recommend Yingchun. She thought that the world had already defaulted on men being the housekeepers of large families. "I don't want to push her into that position and argue with a bunch of men. If her fate comes in the future, I don't want this to hinder her from being happy."
Nanny Su was a little slow to react. She smiled and said, "It is a blessing for us to follow a master like you."
"It's mutual, so we need to hurry up. Madam Su, please see who is suitable to recommend a few people. If you see someone you like, you can just tell me. You have been with me for a few months, and you should know that I don't need to hide anything."
"Yes, I know."
Looking down at the name card, Hua Zhi smiled, "I really have to go this time, Liu Xiang, give it to the Fourth Madam."
"yes."
Hua Zhi took out her business card and wrote: Zhi will definitely keep the appointment on time.
"Are the people from the Wu family still here?"
"Yes, I'm waiting for a reply."
"Give it to him."
"Yes." Nanny Su took it with both hands, looking at her young lady with hidden worry in her eyes. From what the young lady said, the Wu family's move might be related to the Yang family. The feud between the Hua family and the Yang family was almost made public, but the Wu family openly stood on the side of the Yang family. How would the young lady and the Fourth Madam get along in the future
The Wu family is also hateful. They posted this message knowing that the two families are not getting along. What is their intention? It's too bullying!
Hua Zhi stood up and walked out of the yard, approaching the clan school, and listening to the faint sound of reading, the annoyance in her heart gradually faded away. She understood the principle of "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down". She had heard it and even seen it with her own eyes, but when had she ever admitted that the wall of the Hua family had fallen
They were so eager to take sides, so eager to make enemies with the Hua family, even Yang Zheng knew to hide behind a fig leaf. The Wu family was good, really good!
"Zhi'er."
Perhaps because Hua Zhi's expression was too cold, Wu stopped a few steps away. All the sadness in her heart turned into hesitation. She was already a married woman abandoned by the Wu family. If she no longer had the recognition of the head of the family in her husband's family, how would she gain a foothold in the Hua family? How would her children survive in the Hua family
Hua Zhi turned around to face her, and her heart couldn't help but soften seeing her like this. In this world, there were very few women like Hua Jing who were so heartless to her natal family. Most of them were like Fourth Aunt, who regarded their natal family as their last resort, but they were the ones most likely to be abandoned.
When she delivered the business card to Fourth Aunt, she knew that Fourth Aunt would not have an easy time, but she still did it. She had to cut off all thoughts of Fourth Aunt about her family. This was a hidden danger for the game she was playing. She didn't want the Wu family to see the benefits and come to Fourth Aunt to get a piece of the pie when the situation was already established. Fourth Aunt might not be able to bear it by then, so it would be better to prescribe a strong medicine now to prevent future troubles.
"Aunt Si, do you think I should go?"
"You can't go." Wu's face turned pale, but her eyes were red. She didn't know why her family wanted to invite Zhi'er, but she knew that Zhi'er was in mourning, but they still sent an invitation. Moreover, they had clearly acted like they wanted to draw a clear line between her and the Hua family, but now they came to invite Zhi'er again. She didn't believe that there was no hidden story behind this.
"I'll go and ask them what they want to do!"
"Are you going to bet on yourself? Fourth Aunt, you will be disappointed." Hua Zhi helped her walk towards her yard. Only then did she realize that Fourth Aunt's whole body was shaking slightly.
Maybe she gave me too much medicine.
"Zhi'er..."
"Fourth Aunt, I don't blame you. What does this have to do with you? You are just bullying my Hua family because they have no one."
Mrs. Wu almost burst into tears.
Helping her sit down, Hua Zhi made her a cup of scented tea and asked, "Aunt Four, do you know how I got the divorce papers?"
Wu was stunned and shook her head. She was not the only one who was curious. Everyone in the inner courtyard didn't want to know how the eldest girl did it. If the Yang family was easy to get along with, they wouldn't have beaten their sister-in-law like that. She had lived in her parents' home for so long and there was no one to talk about peace.
"I beat Yang Qi into submission and forced him to write it."
Wu cried out in shock. She quickly covered her mouth and subconsciously turned back to look at the door. She was relieved to see that it was Bao Xia who was guarding outside the door. She hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What... What happened? Why did it happen like that?"
"How could they let go of such a good weapon to restrain the Hua family so easily? I went to meet with Yang Zheng, and he said that he would rather destroy ten temples than break up a marriage. In fact, he was just waiting for the Hua family to offer a bargaining chip that he could accept. How could I let him do what he wanted? The Hua family only has this little foundation left, and they still want me to give it up? Dream on!"
Hua Zhi raised her head slightly, full of pride. She would never give her things to others even if she had to destroy them!
Mrs. Wu was anxious. "Why are you so impulsive? Yang Qi can stir up trouble without any wind. If you hurt him, he will definitely make trouble for you. This won't work. Go to Zhu's house, go to Zhu's house quickly, and ask your grandfather to help you get rid of this matter. Don't ruin your reputation."
Hua Zhi felt warm in her heart, and she held her and comforted her, "Don't worry, I didn't leave any evidence. No one would believe him even if he said something exaggerated."
"You just said you hit him..."
"Yes, I hit him, but there was no mark left. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have done it. Could it be that in Fourth Aunt's eyes, I am such an unprepared person?"
Yes, if Zhi'er was such an impulsive person, how could she be responsible for such a big family? Wu smiled bitterly. This was really too bold. She tapped Hua Zhi's forehead and said, "Which girl is as brave as you?"
Hua Zhi just smiled.
"So the Yang family is just going to swallow this anger?"
"I asked Xu Jie to find out. If my guess is correct, the Wu family's Hongmen Banquet might be related to the Yang family."
Mrs. Wu was stunned. So that's what happened. It turned out that the Wu family and the Yang family were in the same boat. As both were relatives of the Hua family, they actually joined forces to deal with the Hua family. This was really... having a conscience.
