Her face completely darkened. Since the Xu family and the Wen family were so tactless as to let a servant come to their house to show off, she didn't need to give this old woman any face.
What about housekeepers, stewards, and daughters-in-law? Aren’t they just servants after all
Even if he is a servant of a higher rank, a servant is still a servant. What qualifications do he have to act like the boss in front of her
Even if this matter was brought to the attention of Old Madam Su, she did nothing wrong.
The Xu family's expression suddenly changed: "What does the Third Madam mean?"
"It's New Year's Day, and you come here to blame the master. You are a servant, but you keep finding fault with your master. Do you think this is a place where you can run wild?!" Mrs. Su San was no longer patient enough to play witty words with her, and immediately revealed her sharp edge: "You are just a servant. Even if our eldest daughter did something wrong in the Wen family, it should be Wen Shichang who came to talk about it in person, and let the elders of the Wen family come to talk about it. What does it have to do with you, a servant? What does the Wen family mean by letting you, a servant, come here to say these nonsense and nonsense? You ask me? I have to ask you carefully, what did our eldest daughter do to make you say such a thing about not marrying her?!"
Mrs. Su San has been very upset recently because of all the bad things going on. Now the Wen family has sent a daughter-in-law to talk behind her back. She has endured her own mother, her mother-in-law, and even her daughter and son. Is it possible that she has to endure a servant now
What a joke.
She was very rude when she spoke.
The Xu family members blushed at what she said. She was the managing daughter-in-law in the Wen family. Except for the Marquis's wife, she had the final say on matters in the inner courtyard. Sometimes, the eldest young lady's words were not as effective as hers.
In addition, she was the eldest young master's wet nurse, so the eldest young master always looked up to her and respected her very much.
When she came to the Su family, the Su family was usually polite. When had she ever been pointed at and talked to like this by servants on the left and right
But before she could say anything, Green Algae, who had gone inside to report, came back. He glanced at her and came close to the Third Madam and whispered, "Third Madam, the old lady heard that someone from the Wen family had come, and asked to bring him in."
Mrs. Su San hummed. Judging from the bad temper of the Xu family, it seemed that their coming this time was not a good thing.
She was furious. She didn't want to bother with the big house's affairs. When she heard that Old Madam Su wanted to see her, she sneered and stood up: "Our old lady wants to see mom. If you have anything to say, mom can talk to our old lady."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked away.
Xu Jia was filled with anger. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. Her face turned blue for a moment, but when she thought of the situation at home, she straightened her back again and followed him into Kangping Garden with a heroic and confident look.
Old Mrs. Su did not sleep all night.
Last night, after the Third Master and the Third Mistress left, she pulled Su Yao aside to ask about entering the palace. When she heard about the mad black bear in the palace, Old Mistress Su didn't close her eyes the whole night.
Today, she had forced herself to have someone wait in the imperial city, and asked Madam He to come directly after she left the palace. However, before she could arrive, she heard that someone from the Wen family had come.
Su Xingyi was raised by Old Madam Su.
At first, it was because my eldest son and daughter-in-law were on duty outside, and it was inconvenient to take a little girl with me. Later...
Later, an accident happened in the paddock and the eldest son lost his life. The eldest daughter-in-law also died not long after.
They only have one son and one daughter left, how could Old Lady Su not feel distressed? If it weren't for these two children, she would have collapsed long ago.
The Wen family had arranged this marriage a long time ago. Originally, something happened to the Su family, and Mrs. Su thought that this marriage might not be possible. However, the Wen family did not regret the engagement and still married Su Xingyi.
After so many years, Su Xingyi has indeed been living a good life. She has given birth to two sons and is now pregnant with her third child. It can be seen that the relationship between husband and wife is very harmonious.
It is precisely because everything was fine before that when something unusual suddenly happens, people become particularly nervous.
Having a servant come to visit on the first day of the Lunar New Year against the rules immediately hit Mrs. Su's heart. She waited for a while, and when the Xu family arrived, she went straight to the point without any courtesy: "What's going on? Why do I ask you to deliver a message on this Lunar New Year? Is there anything that Wen Shichang can't come to tell me in person?"
Different from the arrogance when facing the Third Wife, the Xu family subconsciously restrained their attitude in front of Old Madam Su, especially when they saw Old Madam Su's unfriendly expression, they hesitated for a moment.
Before the incident in the Su family, Old Madam Su was one of the most famous ladies in the imperial court, and Empress Hu was particularly fond of her.
After so many years, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery still subconsciously looked down upon her. Her masters were all like this. The Xu family was also quite afraid of Old Madam Su. Therefore, although she thought she was in the right, she was a little weak at the moment, and her tone was unconsciously much softer: "In reply to the old lady, our young master can't come now. He is recovering from his injuries at home."
Mrs. Su San was stunned.
Wen Shichang was injured? But there was no news before...
But she was a little confused. Wen Shichang was injured, so why did the Xu family come to the Su family so angrily
It wasn’t the Su family who hurt Wen Shichang.
She suddenly came to her senses, looked at Xu Jia with some disbelief, and frowned subconsciously.
Old Madam Su reacted even faster. Almost as soon as Xu Jia finished speaking, she slammed the table and said sternly, "Don't be so sly in front of me. Tell me what's going on!"
The Xu family avoided Mrs. Su's gaze, a little short of breath. Although they talked about something that filled them with righteous indignation, their voices unconsciously lowered: "It was the eldest young lady who stabbed our son-in-law, and she used her hairpin. Our eldest young master can't get out of bed now. It's New Year's Day, and he can't even pay homage to his ancestors..."
What?!
Mrs. Su San was stunned.
She really could not imagine that Su Xingyi, who was always gentle, graceful and generous, would actually stab her husband, and Su Xingyi was pregnant.
Wen Shichang is the legitimate son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the heir apparent of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery for sure. The Marquis' wife regards him as her lifeblood. If he gets injured, won't that make the Marquis' wife furious
No wonder the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery directly sent the Xu family over.
Old Mrs. Su's heart also skipped a beat.
