Mrs. Zhao slammed on the table with a bang, her face was gloomy like water, and He Yan was startled, "Old lady..."
"This family's surname is Zhao, not He! Do you want to invite your parents and uncles over together, let's discuss whether the theory is right or wrong?"
Mrs. Zhao originally ignored He Yan, but now she is disgusted and dissatisfied! At such a young age, with deep thoughts, staying in the Zhao family is also a disaster.
"Old madam, the relationship between my second cousin and I was not intentional. Why doesn't old madam believe what Yan'er said? If Yan'er is driven home rashly, the elders in the family will definitely blame Yan'er, thinking that Yan'er has made some mistakes. I beg you The old lady is merciful, Yan'er realizes her mistake."
He Yan cried miserably, her eyes were full of helplessness and fear, which made people feel pity.
Mrs. Zhao was about to be annoyed, "You mean to drive Xian'er out of the mansion before you give up?"
He Yan was stunned for a moment, she didn't mean that, she moved her lips but still didn't say it.
"Xian'er's surname is Zhao and your surname is He. You are not an orphan without father and mother. You have stayed in Zhao's house for many years and refused to leave. Don't you let outsiders think that He's family has treated you badly?"
Mrs. Zhao said nothing to let He Yan stay in the Zhao family, "As a son and daughter, shouldn't you be filial in front of your parents and elders? What good reputation can an unfaithful person have? So, miss He, you should leave early The Zhao family."
Mrs. Zhao directly took a high hat of being unfilial. If He Yan is not sensible anymore, don't blame her for being ruthless.
He Yan rolled his eyes, seeing that he obviously had the upper hand in this posture, and continuing to talk would not change Mrs. Zhao's mind, so He Yan settled down.
"Yan'er just wants to say goodbye to the eldest cousin, and wants to thank the eldest cousin for taking care of her over the years, and ask the old lady for her blessing."
Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips tightly, and Zhao Xian'er snorted coldly, "Grandmother, don't believe her words, she must go to elder sister and cry, she has a lot of things to prepare in the near future, and she is nervous, how can she have time to listen?" She cried and said that it is not that there is no chance to meet again in the future, and when the eldest sister gets married, there will be opportunities to thank her."
He Yan's face paled, "Second cousin, how can this be the same..."
"Why is it different? You probably want to disturb Eldest Sister. Eldest Sister is the future concubine. She has always been filial to her grandmother and will never disobey her. Or does cousin think that you are more important than Grandmother in Eldest Sister's heart?"
Zhao Xian'er despised him, she had long been used to He Yan's thick skin, and today she admired him even more.
He Yan choked, seeing the disgusted expression on Mrs. Zhao's face, her mind cleared in vain, how could Zhao Chanling disobey Mrs. Zhao for herself.
Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, "Nurse Li, follow and send Miss He to pack her things."
"yes!"
He Yan was anxious and annoyed, she rolled her eyes and passed out.
"Miss!" Hua'er, the maid beside He Yan, rushed over, "Miss, please wake up, old lady, please save our young lady."
Mrs. Zhao's sallow-faced elder, as if she had eaten a fly, was led by the nose by a junior.
Zhao Xian'er curled her lips, He Yan used this trick too many times, but she was too lazy to expose it in the past.
"Grandmother, Cousin He is not in good health, and she is still gritting her teeth in our house. She cannot get good care. I believe Cousin He must miss her parents in her heart. If we force Cousin He to stay, it will be too unpopular."
Looking at He Yan's trembling eyelashes and clenched fists, Zhao Xian'er smiled, "Grandmother, why don't you invite an imperial doctor to come over and have a look, if you have something wrong with your body, you should treat it as soon as possible."
Mrs. Zhao nodded, "You're right, after all, for the sake of relatives, Miss He is weak, and it will be difficult to find her husband's family in the future. Nanny Li, take my waist card and invite Dr. Zhong to come .”
Mrs. Zhao glanced at He Yan's chest rising and falling, her smile was a bit cold.
Hua'er panicked, and hurriedly said, "Madam, my lady is just agitated temporarily, it's fine, just take a good rest for a while."
Zhao Xian'er frowned, "How unreasonable! You are so courageous, a servant girl. Is the master's life and death like a child's play in your eyes?"
"Second miss, this is not what slaves mean. This is my young lady's old problem. I have seen the doctor before, and the doctor said there is no serious problem.
All you need is a good mood and a good rest. "
Hua'er hurriedly explained that she knew He Yan's body best, most of it was just pretending, leaving Zhao's house and returning to He's house, He Yan's life would be very sad, so Hua'er actively cooperated with He Yan.
"In this way, it is even more impossible to keep my cousin in the mansion. The big sister is getting married soon, and the Zhao family is very busy and noisy. It will definitely disturb my cousin's recuperation and delay her health. How can you explain it?"
Zhao Xianer was so speechless that Hua'er could not speak, "Grandmother, I should mention to the elders of He's family that my cousin doesn't have a smart person to wait on her. She is too careless and has delayed her body. I sold it early."
When she heard that she was about to be sold, Hua'er's face turned pale, "Second Miss!"
Mrs. Zhao nodded, "You are right, it is also a disaster to keep such a servant who bullies the master around."
Hua'er's body trembled, and one arm under her body was pinched so tightly, Hua'er almost couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Grandmother, don't worry, Imperial Physician Zhong must be here soon." Zhao Xian'er added at the end.
As soon as the words fell, He Yan's breath was uneven, and the imperial doctor must have exposed He Yan's intentional fainting immediately when he came, and it would be more troublesome then.
He Yan sighed and opened her eyes, "Oh!"
Hua'er was overjoyed, "Miss, you're awake!"
The corners of Zhao Xian'er's mouth curled up, and He Yan wiped the corners of her eyes. If she didn't leave, it would not be good for her to make things worse. He Yan expelled Zhao's family, He Yan couldn't hold back any longer.
"Hua'er, go and pack your things." He Yan looked aggrieved, "The old lady is right, this is the Zhao family, I'm just an outsider, it's time to leave after disturbing the Zhao family for so many years."
Mrs. Zhao sneered, "Miss He, why don't you stay and take a look at yourself first. It's the Zhao family who have delayed you all these years, so you should take a good look at it."
He Yan's face froze, "No need, I am the He family, how dare I bother the old lady to see a doctor for me, let's go first."
Hua'er supported He Yan to stand up, and the two masters and servants left one after the other, their backs in a panic.
Mrs. Zhao was worried, so she didn't bother with He Yan, she glanced at Aunt Li, "Keep an eye on it."
"Don't worry, old lady." Nanny Li followed quickly.
Mrs. Zhao rubbed her forehead and sighed, "Why did you invite such a thing? It looked good in the past, hey!"
"Grandmother, she has her own plans. After all, she is not a descendant of the Zhao family. She really can't be angry."
Zhao Xian'er stretched out her hands to rub Mrs. Zhao's shoulders, her movements were light, "The dismissal of cousin He's also saved a lot of trouble, after all, family ugliness should not be publicized."
Mrs. Zhao nodded, "You're right, if grandma knew it was such a disaster, she would have sent it away."
Zhao Xianer smiled without saying a word.
This He Yan went back to pack his clothes, followed closely by Nanny Li, He Yan was even more annoyed even if he wanted to delay or make any small moves.
"Crack!" He Yan shattered a teacup with a flick of his sleeves, breaking it into several petals, and seeing Nanny Li's face, he felt a little better.
When He Yan packed things up, she would accidentally break something, and the room was crackling.
Nanny Li couldn't bear it anymore, and said coldly, "Miss He, these are all Zhao's finances, and if they are broken, they will be compensated."
He Yan frowned, "Nurse Li, I, I didn't do it on purpose."
Nanny Li glanced at He Yan, and frowned, "Then please be more careful, Cousin, if there are too many damages, the housekeeper won't be able to account for it, so go to the He family to claim compensation, and the two families will be unhappy, but It won’t make it.”
He Yanqi's fists were clenched tightly, and there was nowhere to spread the evil fire. How could an old servant dare to show off his might in front of her? It's unreasonable!
"How do you explain what Mammy said? No matter how bad the He family is, they are also relatives of the eldest cousin's grandparents. Does Mammy look down on the He family?"
He Yan pretended to be surprised, but in her heart she cast the grievance just now on Nanny Li, mistaking Nanny Li for Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Xian'er. Seeing Nanny Li aggrieved, He Yan felt relieved.
She didn't believe it anymore, the Zhao family dared to offend Zhao Chanling and embarrass the He family!
Nanny Li raised her eyes and looked at He Yan thoughtfully, "Cousin girl, the eldest lady is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong. When she gets married to the eldest prince's mansion in the future, she can take care of these trivial matters in a leisurely way. Besides, the Zhao family didn't find her for no reason. Trouble, but Biao girl's remarks are puzzling."
He Yan glared at Nanny Li, "I didn't say anything wrong?"
"The cousin girl is always trying to provoke the relationship between Zhao and He's family, and let the young lady be caught in the middle. What does it mean?"
He Yan's face changed slightly, and he snorted in a strange way, "Nurse Li deserves to be served by the old lady's side, but she can put on airs."
Nanny Li squinted at the maids who were tidying up all around, and said sharply, "What are you doing dawdling, everyone is used to being lazy, when the cousin girl came here, she only had a few clothes, now there is nothing to clean up when she is gone, Don't delay Cousin and hurry up!"
He Yanqi's lungs were about to explode, and a wave of anger came to her heart. She just wanted to dawdle, and when it was getting dark, she could stay one more night, as long as she saw her eldest cousin.
Unfortunately, Nanny Li saw through the wishful thinking.
After Nanny Li let out a stern roar, the maid obviously moved a lot faster. Nanny Li was right, she didn't have many things, and she packed them up quickly.
Hua'er went to pack up the jewellery, and Nanny Li sneered, "Miss Hua'er, the old lady forbids the cousin to take away something that does not belong to the cousin. If the cousin takes away, wouldn't it become a Zhao family facility?" , it doesn’t sound good to spread the word.”
Hua'er immediately withdrew her hand when she heard the words, which was what He Yan ordered just now.
Nanny Li wanted to turn a blind eye and close her eyes, but it was a pity that He Yan was too clueless.
He Yanqi cried, "I bought it myself with my own money, and it has nothing to do with the Zhao family. Don't bully people too much!"
Nanny Li glanced at He Yan, "My cousin hasn't been back to He's house for so many years, and the monthly payment is fifty-two months. The jewelry is also bought by my wife. Where did my cousin get the money to buy these jewelry?"
Speaking of which, Nanny Li took out an account book, which clearly stated, "It contains the whereabouts and origins of every piece of jewelry. The cousin girl accompanies the eldest lady to choose jewelry every month, and the Zhao family pays the bill. Ask the cousin, where did the cousin buy it with money?"
"I..." He Yan choked, and was so angry that he remembered everything in the account book very clearly, exactly.
"In the past, the cousin's food and clothing expenses were not mentioned, but the ones still in this house are not allowed to be taken away." Nanny Li said with a straight face.
He Yan's throat was so sweet from anger, a fishy smell welled up in his heart, he forced himself to swallow it back, gritted his teeth and said, "This is the first time I've heard that if you can return the things you sent out, the Zhao family will Are you bullying me, a weak woman?"
He Yan was about to go mad with anger, and said a lot of good and bad things, but Nanny Li just didn't like oil and salt,
No matter how much she spoke, she remained indifferent.
"My cousin has lived and lived in Zhao's residence for several years, but she has never treated her badly. If the two girls have something to offer, the cousin must also have a share. It is really helpless for the cousin to say that."
Nanny Li shook her head and sighed, her contemptuous eyes were scolding He Yan for not knowing what to do and being too greedy.
He Yanzhao's little face was almost distorted, "You guys clean it up, I'm upset looking at it, what should be taken or not should be taken, it's up to the mother!"
As He Yan said that, she was about to go out with her skirt in her hands. Nanny Li gave her a look, and He Yan was stopped by two nuns at the door.
"What the hell are you going to do?" He Yan yelled, glaring at the two nuns angrily.
Nanny Li said, "It's almost done. Before it gets dark, I won't delay Cousin to go on the road."
"You!" He Yan almost couldn't resist stepping forward to slap Nanny Li, she was too breathless.
Nanny Li kept a serious face, her eyes were sharp, He Yan was startled, and swallowed the cursing words stuck in her throat.
"Biao girl, this old slave is used to rough work, if you accidentally hurt your cousin, don't regret it."
Nanny Li was a little impatient, "The carriage outside the door has been settled, please."
There were only two servant girls around He Yan, but there were many women around Mammy Li. The vicious and threatening tone made the scalps of the two servant girls go numb.
"Miss… "
He Yan's thoughts of not going away were shattered again and again, and it was useless to use all her strengths. Nanny Li finally sent He Yan out of the house, and ordered the guards to send He Yan back to He's house intact.
He Yan's master and servants were stuffed into the carriage and rushed all the way out of the city. He Yan was powerless to resist, and was so angry that he really fainted after looking at him for a while.
"Send it away?" Mrs. Zhao was lying on the couch, her eyelids kept twitching.
Nanny Li nodded, "The old slave arranged for twenty guards to deliver it in person, it should be fine."
Old Mrs. Zhao hummed lightly, frowning as if she was restless.
Nanny Li lowered her head, not knowing how to persuade her.
That night, Zhao Chanling drank the medicine and passed out, her body was very weak. Mrs. Zhao changed the maid beside Zhao Chanling inside and out, guarding Zhao Chanling every step of the way.
The atmosphere in the Zhao Mansion was a bit weird. The eldest prince sent a matchmaker to deliver the dowry. The two hundred dowry gifts were placed in the courtyard. At a glance, there were red and bright red silks and satins. Every large box was heavy, and there were countless rare and antiques.
Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to smile and say a few words. Mrs. Zhao was by her side. The whole morning, the matchmaker didn't stop talking, trying to see Zhao Chanling.
Mrs. Zhao smiled, "The wedding date is a bit rushed. The child has been embroidering the wedding dress day and night. I dare not delay for a moment. I went to have a look this morning. The child actually fell asleep with the embroidery needle in his hand holding the wedding dress. .”
The matchmaker was stunned for a moment, "Missy is so virtuous, she will be blessed in the future."
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly answered, "Missy is really filial. She learned Su embroidery from a young age and inherited her mother's skills. She insisted on embroidering the dowry by herself, leaving an extra space. She said she wanted her to add a few stitches herself as a good meaning."
Mrs. Zhao smiled, and squinted at Nanny Li, "Miss, please come over, don't be in a hurry."
"yes!"
The matchmaker hurriedly stopped Nanny Li when she heard the words, she just wanted to see Zhao Chanling say a few flattering words and make a good impression.
If it delays Zhao Chanling's dowry and makes Zhao Chanling unhappy, then the loss outweighs the gain.
"Forget it, old madam. I won't bother the young lady. It's more important to embroider the dowry. The young lady is really filial. The old lady is really lucky."
The matchmaker laughed, "On the wedding day, the eldest girl will definitely be able to look stunning in the capital. Wearing a dowry embroidered by a novice, and the old lady's blessing, this day will definitely be prosperous, and she and the eldest prince will have a good marriage for a hundred years."
Mrs. Zhao smiled, but her eyes were icy cold, "Then let the flower matchmaker give me a good word, Nanny Li!"
Nanny Li immediately gave the matchmaker a big purse. Seeing this, the matchmaker narrowed her eyes and closed her mouth from ear to ear.
