Crowned with Pearls

Chapter 340: One hundred and thirty-nine. Provocation

Views:

Ever since she stood on the wrong side, Mother Liu's life has gone downhill. In recent times, not to mention the mothers in charge of the courtyard, even those who used to curry favor with her have kept their distance from her. Now that Mother Wen has been very warm to her recently, she feels particularly comforted.

It was very cool and comfortable to stay under the grape trellis, and there was a breeze blowing. Mother Wen brushed the hair beside her ears and said with a smile: "It's rare. It's not easy for you either. You finally got the position of manager, but who knew that you would be implicated because of the foolish actions of the third young master and the third young lady..."

Mother Liu's face turned a little ugly. She felt like needles stabbing her heart when she thought of these things.

Mother Wen saw this and said quietly, "Alas, it's a pity that even the words of the Third Master and the Third Madam are no longer effective in the mansion. All the family affairs are in the hands of the Fourth Young Lady. Who gets promoted and who gets demoted is up to the Fourth Young Lady. You guys have offended the Fourth Young Lady too badly..."

Yes, after all, An Ying was Su Ruyi’s favorite before, and even the Liu family did a lot for Su Ruyi.

Thinking that she would have to live in the laundry room in the future, Mama Liu sighed, feeling a little heavy all over: "What can we do? We are just unlucky. Besides... no matter how powerful the fourth girl is, she will eventually get married, right?"

After Su Yao gets married, won't there be someone else taking care of the rear house

If she changes people, she will be able to find a way to turn things around by trying to please them. The whole family cannot really rely on the job in the laundry to make a living!

"If you're looking forward to this, then I'm going to pour cold water on you. Don't you think that with the Fourth Miss's strength, can she let you go?" Mother Wen drank a sip of tea leisurely: "Even if she is going to get married, the first thing she will do is probably to deal with you first."

Hearing her say this, Liu Jia felt a little scared.

Su Yao actually didn't continue to cause trouble for her, but as Mother Wen said, even if he didn't do that now, who could guarantee that he would do so in the future

She stared at the bunch of unripe grapes above her head with a pale face and fanned the air with her hands: "There's nothing we can do. We are family children, and we have no choice but to die here!"

Those nobles who followed Taizu to conquer the world and later followed the current emperor to seize the throne were more or less assigned many slaves to serve them. From their descendants to this day, few of them have been able to escape from slavery.

They can't get away.

Mother Wen smiled and finally stopped beating around the bush: "Unless someone else takes charge of the Bo's Mansion."

Change someone in charge

Mother Liu is a smart person, otherwise she would not have been favored by the difficult Third Lady for so long. She can tell what Mother Wen is thinking just by hearing her singing. She now has the answer to Mother Wen's recent deliberate approach and goodwill.

But... ..

Even though Mother Wen represents the Second Master and the Second Wife, the Second Master is a concubine's son!

Even if the eldest young master's leg cannot be cured in the end, the title will eventually fall to the third wife and will not be given to the second master.

What does Mother Wen mean by this

She glanced at Mother Wen suspiciously.

Mother Wen was not excited. She was still calm and composed as if she was chatting casually. Seeing that there was no one around, she whispered a few words into Mother Liu's ear.

It was clearly still summer, but Mother Liu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She shivered uncontrollably, tilted her head and looked at Mother Wen in disbelief, unable to speak for a moment.

The cicadas outside were still chirping, and the little girls were chasing and playing in the yard, but all this seemed to be a dream. Mother Liu stared at Mother Wen with her eyes fixed on her lips, and she swallowed hard.

Mother Wen had already stood up. She smiled and took Mother Liu's hand, shook it again as if in greeting, and then walked away.

Mother Liu watched her walk away with a stiff expression. It was a long time before she came to her senses. She stood up anxiously and was restless for the whole afternoon.

At the same time, Yancao also came into the courtyard from outside, holding a melon in her hand. When she saw Jinping coming, she handed it to him: "Mother Ji gave it to me. Try it quickly. It's sweet, crisp and delicious!"

Jinping wiped his hands and took it. When he heard Yancao asking Su Yao, he pointed to the study room and said, "The young lady has been sitting in the study room for the whole afternoon. Mother Shen got the golden needle and sent it to Doctor Shen. I wonder if the young lady is nervous..."

She said she believed in Doctor Shen, but it was Su Rong after all, how could Su Yao not be nervous? Jinping sighed as he spoke: "Our girl is really difficult."

Worry about everything.

At first, the Third Lady was afraid that Su Yao’s return would embarrass her and she would not be able to appear in public. But now, look, who is the one who has turned the tide and allowed everyone in the Su family to eat watermelon in peace in this summer

Yan Cao patted her hands, said nothing, and went straight into the study. Seeing Su Yao sitting behind the long table, she called her "girl" softly.

Su Yao came back to his senses, hummed, and asked her, "Is there any news from Mother Shen?"

Mother Shen sent the golden needle to Doctor Shen. Although she might not be able to see Su Rong, she would at least be able to know something about Su Rong's recent situation.

Yan Cao shook her head: "Mother Shen hasn't come back yet. I came here to tell you about what happened over there." She stretched out two fingers and shook them, and suddenly became serious: "Mother Wen went to see Mother Liu."

Mother Liu...

Su Yao thought for a while before she remembered this Madam Liu. She raised her eyebrows and said, "She is the mother of the maidservant in front of Su Ruyi? Is she still in the mansion?"

Didn’t she remember that she was chased to Zhuangzi at first

Seeing that her cup was empty, Yancao poured her a cup of tea and said, "So many things happened later, and she was sent to the laundry department in the outer courtyard. There is no need to come in to answer. How can you remember? I just don't know why Mother Wen came back to find her."

Why

Su Yao curled her lips coldly. She no longer had any interest in playing the cat and mouse game with the second room. She put down the cup in her hand and suddenly stood up: "No matter why, there must be a reason. Let's go and take a look."

Go and take a look

Yancao was a little confused: "Are we going to interrogate Mother Liu?"

Mother Wen specifically went to find Mother Liu, who had a grudge against Su Yao. It couldn't be that she really wanted to have a chat with her. As long as she was willing to use some means, she would be able to get something out of her.

Su Yao shook his head and said coldly: "No, we won't go to find Mother Liu. Instead, we will go to find Second Aunt."

What

Yan Cao didn't react for a moment, but Su Yao had already walked out the door. She didn't care about anything else and hurriedly chased Su Yao out the door.
