Chapter 52
"Sister Pingye, I put the tea sets according to Mother Yuan's instructions. My aunt is very dissatisfied and there is nothing I can do about it."
The girl had been wronged by Lu Jia for several days and was crying in front of Pingye.
Pingye wiped her tears, gave her a piece of steamed rose cake, and said, "Stop crying now. I'll report to Madam right now. Madam will handle it."
"Thank you, Sister Pingye."
The girl took the cake and wiped her face with a handkerchief.
She was not originally a girl to serve her master, but she didn't expect Aunt Jiada to be so difficult to serve. Staying there for three days was like being tortured in a frying pan.
Pingye carried a blue and white porcelain tea set to the upper room.
Zhu Qing was talking to Lin Yunwan at this time: "The prince went to the side courtyard and said he was looking for Master Qing. I don't know why the prince is so anxious. After all, it is the courtyard where the female family members live. Can't I ask any maid to go in? I have to break in by myself. go."
"Madam, why do you think the prince suddenly lost his rules?"
She was a little gloating, feeling that she had caught Ge Baoer's hand.
Lin Yunwan said: "He has always had no rules."
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to do the shameless thing of letting her raise a son for someone else.
Zhuqing was startled and did not dare to answer.
Why did the madam scold the prince as well?
"Madam, the maid serving my aunt is here."
Pingye came in, put down the tea set, and explained the whole story: "My aunt thinks this tea set is not good and wants to change it."
Zhuqing glanced at the tea set and said, "Isn't this good? It's still a pattern that announces good news and many children, and the metaphor is also good. Why is my aunt still so picky?"
How could Pingye know? She also felt that Aunt Jiajia was deliberately looking for trouble.
She then said: "That girl said that Aunt Jiada was picky about the bed last night."
Zhuqing smiled: "Is it possible that someone needs to change her bed?"
That's impossible too.
Lin Yunwan knew that she was ridiculing Lu Jia.
Before Lu Jia got married, Zhu Qing was a member of Lu Zhengliu's house. She was always a proud and arrogant girl, and she used to be flamboyant in the house. How could Lu Jia's character allow a girl to show off in front of her?
Zhuqing must also have suffered at her hands.
Zhu Qing looked very happy to see Lu Jia and her mother-in-law Mrs. Xia again this time.
Zhu Qing was indeed happy, with a smile on his face that showed he was watching the fun and not taking the matter too seriously: "Madam, my aunt is not picky about things, it seems she wants to pick on you."
"Then change it for her."
Lin Yunwan didn't want to get entangled with Lu Jia over this trivial matter.
Zhuqing's face stiffened, and he said sincerely: "Madam, I am not trying to use you as a gunman, but I know my aunt better than you. If you tolerate her again and again, she will go further." .”
"Today I will change the tea set, tomorrow I will change the bed, and the day after tomorrow I will change the girl and change the yard. Will you also accompany her?"
Lin Yunwan said calmly: "It's not my place to teach her a lesson. With Mrs. Xia here, she doesn't dare to do anything in the Lu family."
It's just a fuss over trivial matters.
Zhu Qing thought about it and felt that Lin Yunwan was right and said, "Madam is still thoughtful."
Lin Yunwan was planning to cash out the shop in the dowry, and had no time to worry about Lu Jia. She told Pingye: "Take my pair of cards and go to the warehouse to get a set of Kirin cups for my aunt. Remember to register."
She looked at the set on the table and said, "Go back to the warehouse."
"yes."
Finally, he warned: "If Mrs. Xia is here, avoid her and don't let her see this tea set." The old lady's character probably doesn't like her daughter-in-law living a luxurious life when she returns to the Hou Mansion.
"My slave understands."
Pingye picked up the tea set and went out to deal with the matter. She made two trips to deliver the tea set to Aunt Jia in person - if there were any more annoying requests, she replied them all to avoid scolding and crying. Got the girl.
She brought a set of unicorn cups to Lu Jia's side. Because they were glass cups, they were colorful under the sun. The girls passing by saw them and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Be careful, don't hit me."
The girls quickly ran away. This cup was more valuable than their lives, so they really didn't dare to break it.
As soon as Pingye arrived near the penthouse where Lu Jia lived, she saw Mrs. Xia coming out of the main room.
"Oops."
Remembering Lin Yunwan's words, she turned her back and wanted to go out and hide.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jia also came out of the ear room and shouted: "Stop!"
Pingye held the glass cup, turned around and stood there and shouted in a low voice: "Auntie."
Lu Jia walked over angrily: "Why did you run when you saw me?" She saw the cup in the maid's hand and knew it was for her. She frowned and asked: "It's just a gift. Why don't you run back?" What?"
"Auntie..." Your mother-in-law is here!
Without waiting for Pingye to explain, Lu Jia sneered: "What? I'm not the master of this house, so you can ignore me?"
She looked at Pingye with fierce eyes: "If I hadn't seen you holding this set of unicorn cups, I would have slapped you twice!"
Pingye: "..."
"Who are you going to slap?"
Mrs. Xia came down from the steps and looked at Lu Jia coldly.
When Lu Jia heard the voice, her expression changed. When she turned around, she saw her mother-in-law standing on the steps, slashing her with her eyes, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"Mother-in-law..."
Mrs. Xia came over and said, "Have you always been such a yelling and mean maid in the Lu family?"
Lu Jia sneered: "No, it's not. My mother-in-law misunderstood, my daughter-in-law is..."
"What's that? I've seen it all! There's really no womanly virtue at all!"
Mrs. Xia looked at the teacup in Pingye's hand, then looked at Lu Jia coldly and said, "Everyone uses a blue and white teacup, but you can't use it? Do you have to use a glass one to drink tea?"
"Still, you feel wronged by coming from the Lu family to my Xia family?"
Lu Jia panicked and lowered her head: "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law didn't mean that."
Mrs. Xia looked at Pingye and said kindly: "Go back and give her a new set of cups that I use. Our Xia family is not used to this kind of thing."
"...Yes." Pingye left with lingering fear.
When I got out of the yard, I saw my aunt standing in the yard. The girls next to me didn't dare to say anything. My aunt looked extremely ugly.
"Hey, this slave is also kind-hearted. Who knows that my eldest aunt will not appreciate it. She is shooting herself in the foot."
Pingye returned to Chuisi Hall and was quite emotional. She listened to the madam and clearly wanted to help her aunt. Who knew that my aunt would harm herself?
Zhu Qing smiled and said, "Madam is right."
With Mrs. Xia taking care of her, Lu Jia couldn't get up at all.
Within half an hour, the news of Lu Jia's punishment had spread throughout the Wuding Marquis Mansion. She has been married for many years, and it is really shameful for her to be punished by her mother-in-law.
After dark, she ran to Mrs. Lu to cry and complain about Lin Yunwan.
Lin Yunwan heard that Uncle Xia's uncle had agreed to help, so she came over to inquire about the news, and happened to overhear it outside.
